The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 819: Placed Everywhere

Ma Ji quickly returned to the city and quietly entered the Meng Mansion. He knocked on the window frame of Meng Shisan's bedroom, forcing Meng Shisan to get up and open the window. After he told Meng Shisan everything he had seen, Meng Shisan decided to go out of the city to take a look.

He was a horse demon. Even if Meng Shisan had a demon soul, he was still a mortal. Therefore, he first set up an invisibility barrier, then he transformed into his original form and let Meng Shisan ride on his back. At the same time, he used the penetration technique and carried Meng Shisan out of the city quickly and arrived outside the gate of Bixu Manor.

Meng Shisan patted the horse's back lightly, then dismounted and hid behind a tree on the side of the gate. She rode the horse at full speed here, running fast all the way without any bumps. She was not tired at all and was in very good condition at the moment.

Ma Ji transformed back into human form and stood behind the tree. He was a thousand-mile horse and could travel a thousand miles a day. Tonight he was just carrying one person out of the city, but he didn't feel tired at all, his face wasn't red and he wasn't out of breath, and he was in very good condition.

On the left and right of the two people, they can see two groups of horses not far away.

Ma Ji pointed to both sides and said, "Over there are the horses led by the Second Prince's guard Shi Mo, and over here are the horses led by Bai Sha, a subordinate of Master Ji. And that wall is where the two groups of people climbed into the manor one after the other."

Meng Shisan looked in the direction he was pointing, and then looked in the direction where Ma Ji pointed. It was a corner on the side of the manor gate. "It's a good place to hide."

"Miss, would you like to go in and take a look?" Ma Ji asked. He himself wanted to climb over the wall and go into the manor to see what was going on.

Meng Shisan said, "No need. We will just stay here and wait for them to come out. Then we will know what happened."

As soon as Shi Mo entered the manor, he led his men straight to the large kitchen where fire was most likely to occur. When he found two woodsheds where firewood was piled up, he immediately ordered the fire to be set.

After the fire started, he did not leave immediately, but watched the fire spread. He made sure that the two woodsheds had been on fire and then burned to the houses on the left and right. The fire grew bigger and bigger until the entire kitchen was shrouded in a bright red flame. Then he raised his hand to signal to retreat.

The retreat is also just exit to the large kitchen.

As soon as they left the kitchen, he led his men to continue south to find the next building that had caught fire.

Baisha and his men arrived later. Seeing that the big kitchen in the manor was already burning like charcoal in a fire, he did not bring people to put out the fire. Instead, he pointed to a place for everyone and asked them to go there as soon as possible to wake up the small managers in the manor.

The fire that was blowing tonight was towards the north. The fire that started in the big kitchen could easily spread to the buildings on the north side. The places he was pointing to were all the pavilions and houses on the north side of the manor.

We have to wake up other people in the manor and let the stewards know that there is a fire in the manor. We have to respond quickly and bring people to put out the fire. This is the best way to put out a fire.

Otherwise, the few East Palace guards he brought with him would not be able to put out the fire that was burning fiercely in the direction of the wind.

Furthermore, Shi Mo was no longer in the kitchen, and there was no guarantee that he would continue to cause trouble somewhere else. He had to follow Shi Mo and carry out the task of interrupting, cleaning up or stopping what Shi Mo wanted to do.

When Meng Shisan saw the red flames rising from one side of the manor and the increasingly noisy voices, she understood a little: "It seems that the Second Prince still doesn't want to let Master Cui Qi go. He took advantage of the dark and windy night to order Shi Mo to burn Master Cui Qi's property to vent his anger."

Ma Ji heard Meng Shisan talk about the details of how Li Heng first wanted to recruit Cui Yu to join the camp, but when that failed, he changed to forcing Cui Yu to join the camp. Now, after hearing Meng Shisan's words again, he understood: "This second prince is very petty and vindictive."

"You have great ambitions, but you lack the corresponding tolerance and shrewdness and strategy. You can't even keep calm. Compared with Your Highness, you are far inferior." Meng Shisan said in a disparaging tone.

As soon as she finished speaking, they saw the fire growing bigger and bigger, and the corner of the night sky that was illuminated red gradually became smaller.

Ma Ji couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Did Baisha bring people to help put out the fire, or did the people in the manor discover it in time?"

Meng Shisan thought for a while and said, "It must be that Baisha discovered the fire and sent someone to notify the people in the manor in time, and then the people in the manor put out the fire in time." Ma Ji nodded. He agreed with Meng Shisan's guess.

At the same time, the gate of the manor opened and a galloping horse ran out.

The horse went onto the official road and headed straight towards the city gate.

Ma Ji looked at the man on the horse: "That's... the servant next to Steward Yan."

On the day when Cui Yu sincerely invited him to the manor, Yan Zhu followed Cui Yu. He recognized Yan Zhu and also had some impression of the servants running around Yan Zhu.

"So, Steward Yan has also woken up." Meng Shisan continued, "His servant is rushing into the city now because he is so anxious that he doesn't even want to wait until dawn... It's not just the fire that's causing trouble."

"How about I go in and take a look?" Ma Ji suggested.

Meng Shisan didn't deny it this time: "Okay, if you see Baisha needs help, you can lend a hand."

Ma Ji understood.

Shi Mo is Li Heng's trusted guard. If it is said that Mei Yan is more powerful in martial arts, then Shi Mo can stay with Li Heng for a long time because he has a more flexible mind and knows how to adapt.

When he saw the kitchen that had been set on fire deliberately, soon after he led his men away, he heard the loud sounds of the servants fetching water and putting out the fire, and he immediately realized the problem.

He did not stick to setting fire to one place before rushing to the next. Instead, he divided his six men into six places, including himself, and set fire to seven places at the same time.

At the same time, on the Baisha side, several people split into several directions and chased in all directions.

Baisha chased after Shimo, and there was one guard each for the remaining East Palace guards, making a total of exactly seven people.

After tracking them all the way, he realized that Shi Mo broke into Bixu Manor at night with no other purpose than to set fires everywhere.

In this case, his job is to put out fires.

Wherever Shi Mo started a fire, he would put it out.

The people in the manor were different from Baisha. After putting out the fire in the big kitchen, they had not even had time to catch their breath when they were told that several other places in the manor had also caught fire for unknown reasons. Everyone's already dark faces turned even paler.

Shopkeeper Tong was among them. He asked Yan Zhu, "What happened tonight?"

"What's going on?" Yan Zhu snorted coldly, "Can't you see that someone is here to set the fire?"

Shopkeeper Tong's eyes widened, and he wanted to ask something else, but Yan Zhu had already turned around and walked away, heading towards Wangbei Tower.

Wangbei Tower is Cui Yu’s permanent residence in Bixu Manor. It is a private place that is never open to the public and never allows anyone to enter or leave.

Only the servants who are responsible for cleaning the Wangbei Building in the manor and Yan Zhu himself are allowed to enter. No one else is allowed to enter.
