Chapter 18 Kerosene

Half a day later, the government posted a notice stating that Dr. Cheng was a spy from the Yue Kingdom. He had a sinister heart and poisoned the Eldest Prince in the medicine, causing his life to be in danger. It also stated that there were other spies from the Yue Kingdom lurking in the city. , ask the people to cooperate with the government to find out these spies from other countries to avenge the eldest prince.

The news spread throughout the city at an incredible speed.

The two countries, Jing and Yue, are feuds. When the common people heard about it, they were all excited, and the atmosphere in the city suddenly became dignified.

He Zhifu officially ordered the city to be closed, and no one is allowed to enter or leave Danyang City from now on.

From time to time in the streets and alleys, you can see the yamen who are patrolling and searching.

Every household in the city was searched by the yamen, even the house of the Gu family was no exception. Even if they showed the badge of the Dingyuan Hou Mansion, even if Mrs. Gu was in the house, the yamen still mercilessly searched the house. Gu's house was searched again. Of course they were not allowed to leave the city.

In the next few days, there was a strong murderous atmosphere in the city, and the wind was jittery.

"Tat Tat Tat..."

On the street, a team of Yacha with torches and two prison cars roared past menacingly, and the common people pointed at the prison cars, sighing endlessly.

A pair of dark and prey eyes looked at the street outside through the hole poked in the window paper, their eyes seemed like a bottomless abyss.

When the servants walked away, he also looked away, closed his eyes, and sat motionless on the chair, as if frozen.

Suddenly, the wind picked up.

The clouds moved with the wind, and thick black clouds embellished the dusk sky with gloom.

The sky is getting dark, the night sky is as black as ink, and there are no stars.

"Sixth Master," a dark-skinned middle-aged man appeared in the room, and respectfully crossed his hands to the man in blue on the chair, "Boss Huang and the others have also been imprisoned in the government office dungeon for the time being. Lord, your whereabouts."

"Let people keep staring." Sixth Master opened his eyes, his eyes were cold, his voice was hoarse, and his expression could not hide the look of exhaustion.

These days, his life is not easy.

The day before yesterday, he escaped from the Cheng's Medical Hall through a secret passage, and then went to another stronghold, but the officials launched a large-scale search in the city, so he could only hide and change several strongholds.

However, in just three days, most of their strongholds in Danyang City were successively sealed up by the government, and most of the spies lurking in the strongholds were also taken down.

It can be said that ten years of painstaking efforts were almost destroyed in one go.

Sixth Master closed his eyes again, his heart throbbed with pain, and he finally realized what it means to be heartbroken like a knife!

Danyang City is only 400 miles away from the capital city. It guards the sea route and the North-South Grand Canal, and has the convenience of river and sea transportation. It can be called the gateway of the capital. Danyang City is too important to them.

"Yes." The middle-aged man responded respectfully, paused, and said cautiously, "Master Liu, there are still twelve people available on our side, and the subordinates have carefully investigated them, and they are all fine."

He can be sure that it is not Yueren who leaked the secret to the government.

"..." Sixth Master half-closed his eyes, showing a bit of sternness.

The officials of Danyang City have been searching for three full days, destroying so many arrangements of Yueren, but they still have no intention of stopping. It can be seen that they are targeting something purposefully.

The answer is obvious, they must be coming for him.

This time, he traveled thousands of miles to the north from Yue Kingdom to discuss the details of the alliance with King Kang of Jing Kingdom under the order of the sage.

Only King Kang knew that he had come to Danyang City.

King Kang wanted to use him as a certificate of honor and dedicate it to Chu Yi, or to Emperor Mingde!

King Kang is really scheming. On the surface, he and Emperor Mingde are incompatible, but in reality, this is not the case. The brothers are just playing tricks on purpose to lure them across the country? !

Playing them like monkeys.

He fell for it! !

Sixth Master felt resentful in his heart, and punched the window frame so hard that his hands were numb with pain.

This time, he took the job from Xia Houqing with great difficulty, and even issued a military order in front of the saint.

If he fails to do this job well, Xia Houqing will definitely make trouble, and even the military power in the Southwest will fall into Xia Houqing's hands, making the opponent even more powerful.

He must not allow things to develop to this point!

There was a turbulent sea in Liu Ye's eyes, including anger, unwillingness, and vigorous ambition, which kept churning.

After a while, he suppressed his intense emotions and asked calmly, "Where's the kerosene?"

"The oil is ready." The middle-aged man lowered his upper body a little, and replied solemnly.

Sixth Master moved his knuckles, his knuckles clicked, and said in a deep voice: "Let them follow the plan."

In a simple sentence, there is a sense of desperation.

The middle-aged man solemnly accepted the order, and then retreated.

It was already late at night, the candles in every household were extinguished, and the people fell asleep soundly. The streets were empty and silent, except for the occasional chirping of birds echoing in the night wind.

More than a dozen men in black sneaked out from the back door of a lacquerware shop, avoiding the patrolling clerks and watchmen all the way, and shuttled through the deserted alleys, vigorous and agile like ghosts and ghosts.

Half an hour later, a group of people headed by Liu Ye came to the alley outside the back door of the Danyang government office. The surrounding area was dark and eerily quiet.

No need for Master Liu to order anything, a group of men in black spontaneously opened the jars they carried with them, and quickly walked around the walls of the government office, splashing the liquid in the jars on the corners, trees, and climbers one by one. A wall full of vines.

"Wow, wow—"

With the sound of splashing, a slightly pungent smell permeated the night wind.

The night was getting darker, and the wind was strong, and the trees creaked like a dance of demons.

Sixth Master, who was holding a torch in his hand, walked slowly to the foot of a vigorous and luxuriant old tree, a twisted branch slanted over the wall and protruded into the government office.

The flames on the fire folder swayed with the wind, and the flickering flames added a bit of gloom to Liu Ye's handsome and rough face.

He wants to see if Chu Yi dies in Danyang City, can King Kang and Emperor Mingde continue to be brothers and sisters!

Sixth Master let go of his hand suddenly, and the fire bag fell vertically...

"boom!"

The moment the flame touched the kerosene, it spread rapidly to the surroundings. After a while, the surrounding area became a fiery sea of ​​flames, greedily and crazily devouring everything that could be devoured.

The flames danced wildly, climbing and spreading along the trees, vines and walls, and gray smoke curled up.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There was the sound of the third watch in the distance. It was late at night, and the people were sleeping soundly. They didn't know anything about the leak of the mansion. Chu Yi and the three who had just walked out of the mansion from the corner gate saw it at a glance. fire.

"My lord, it's gone!" Xiao Shi raised his head and looked in the direction behind the Danyang government office, and whispered.

Chu Yi, who was wearing a white cloak, was beside him, with his chin raised slightly, also looking in the same direction.

With just a snap of the fingers, the flames became more and more intense, and the crimson flames reflected the night sky above.

Si Hai frowned, and said hesitantly: "His Royal Highness, the location should be the back door of the Danyang government office... Could it be Yueren?"

"Who else can be." Chu Yi said lightly, his eyes were deep.
