The weak princess is super fierce

Chapter 820 Nie Enters the Scene

Small managers like Manager Tong are not allowed to enter.

There was a knock on the door in the attic behind Quexian Building in the middle of the night. Hu Qiao opened the door in a daze and saw that it was Jin Baixi. He paused with an impatient look on his face, then asked seriously, "Manager Jin, why are you still here so late..."

He meant that something that could make Jin Baixi come and knock on the door in the middle of the night must be no small matter.

However, Jin Baixi was really anxious. Before Hu Qiao could finish his question, he interrupted and said, "Something happened at Bixu Manor. Please call the Seventh Master!"

"Okay." Hu Qiao walked aside the door to let Jin Baixi in. He then discovered that there was another person following Jin Baixi. He recognized this person. He was the servant of Yan Zhu.

It seems like something really big has happened.

As he thought about it, he couldn't help but quicken his pace as he ran to the second floor.

Cui Yu was awakened in a hurry, and his mind was not yet fully clear, so he listened to Hu Qiao talking nonstop while changing his clothes and reporting to him.

At the end of his speech, his mind finally came back to normal: "Arson?"

His expression was stern, and he thought of Li Heng: "Can he be saved?"

Hu Qiao didn't know either: "Shopkeeper Jin only said this much. The rest will be told to you in person when you come downstairs. The person who came to the city on horseback from the manor to report was Di Da, who was beside Steward Yan."

Cui Yu understood. This was an urgent matter. Lao Bai had probably just learned about it, and what he knew was a little disjointed. Lao Yan's servant came to report it, so he wanted to wait for him to arrive and then explain the whole thing in detail.

Going downstairs to the main hall, Jin Baixi and Di Da bowed at the same time: "Seventh Master."

In the end, firefighting was no match for arson. Shi Mo lit the fire following the wind, and it went more and more smoothly. According to his arrangement, seven fires broke out simultaneously, and the seven people from Baisha and everyone in the manor followed behind to put out the fires, but they were exhausted.

They were covered in dust and dirt, but it would have been fine if they could have successfully put out the fire. What made them most anxious was that they simply couldn't save the people!

Because Baisha had to put out the fire, he had to follow much more closely than he had come all the way. When he was in a hurry, Shi Mo was bound to notice him. Once he noticed Shi Mo, he lit the fire even more recklessly, almost lighting it wherever he went.

I no longer have time to argue about which direction the wind is blowing.

Even without the help of wind direction, the fire still burned vigorously.

After the fire was put out, only the pavilions, towers, houses and roofs close to the water were put out faster. The rest of the places relied on a few limited wells for water. Even though all the servants in the manor had gotten up to put out the fire, the huge crowd of people were still unable to put out the fire.

Meng Shisan stood behind a thick tree trunk on one side of the manor gate. She only needed to raise her head to see the black smoke rising from the manor and the flames gradually fading in one place and rising in another.

The red light that occupied half the sky gradually grew larger and larger, almost occupying the entire night sky, illuminating the full flames.

She couldn't help but murmur, "Li Heng is really crazy."

If Baisha had not brought the East Palace guards to follow Shi Mo and his group tonight, and had not been able to put out the fire in time and wake up everyone in the manor, nearly a hundred lives would have been burned down along with the manor.

Ma Ji entered the manor at Meng Shisan's order, and first ran to the place where the fire was the biggest. When he found a deserted corner, he began to perform the water transformation technique. He kept doing this, putting out the fire wherever he saw it.

At first, without his participation, Baisha and others were so angry when they put out the fire, while Zhuangyuan and others were so physically and mentally panicked when they put out the fire. No matter whether they were angry or panicked, they were all afraid.

They were afraid that if the fire could not be put out, not only would the manor be destroyed tonight, but even those of them who were fighting the fire inside the manor would be surrounded by the fire and unable to escape, and would be burned to death in the manor and turned into ashes along with the manor.

With his participation, the fire was visibly put out, and they watched as the flames that illuminated half the sky slowly disappeared one after another, and the black smoke gradually stopped rising into the sky. While they were puzzled, the relief and joy in their hearts were simply difficult to describe in words.

Once the fear was suppressed and the light of hope was rekindled, the power to put out the fire was like a dry land that suddenly encountered a downpour, and it was instantly replenished.

Yan Zhu, who was personally leading the firefighting, finally breathed a sigh of relief after seeing and hearing this, and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his black-stained hands.

When Di Da and Cui's troops led by Nie Bin arrived at the gate of the manor, Meng Shisan heard the thundering sound of horse hooves. Looking from a distance, she saw that the person running on the horse in the front was Nie Bin, whom she had met before. She understood what was going on and quickly hid behind a tree.

Without hiding anything, they came in a mighty force to put out the fire and finish the job. This was Cui Yu's intention: "Since I have decided to serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince as my master, this action, even if it is not a token of surrender, is also an opportunity for me to show my loyalty to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

So Nie Bin went out.

He wanted to openly and clearly state his position to all the people, big and small, at the feet of the emperor tonight.

To teach all those who were ready to make a move that he, who used to rely on no one, has now joined the East Palace camp and has officially become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's man.

And he is the seventh son of the Qinghe Cui family, who is capable of representing the Cui family's position in the capital.

If Meng Shisan asked Ma Ji to enter the scene and use his magic power to help put out the fire in order to prevent the lives of the people in the manor from being destroyed, then Cui Yu asked Nie Bin to enter the scene with great fanfare to finish the job in order to reveal the hidden knife of the Qinghe Cui family.

The purpose of this knife is, firstly, to show Cui's position, and secondly, to show Cui's counterattack power.

Nie Bin entered the manor with his troops and quickly deployed his men around the periphery of the manor. Meng Shisan then understood that Cui Yu wanted Nie Bin to kill them all.

This momentum will undoubtedly ensure that Shi Mo and others who set fire to the manor tonight will be caught in one fell swoop.

Human power can contain mortals, but cannot contain the speed of horses.

Meng Shisan waited for a while, and before long, Ma Ji came back.

Ma Ji also saw through Nie Bin's intention and asked Meng Shisan: "Bai Sha's people are still inside. Like Shi Mo's people, they are surrounded by Nie Bin and others and cannot get out for a while."

"No problem." Meng Shisan knew what Ma Ji wanted to say, "Bai Sha is a guard of the Eastern Palace. Even if Nie Bin and Bai Sha don't know each other, once they meet on a narrow road, Bai Sha is neither stupid nor foolish, and he will definitely reveal his identity."

In this situation, either Nie Bin and Baisha had to join forces to kill Shi Mo and his group of seven, or Baisha would just watch coldly and wait to return to the palace to report.

Ma Ji nodded and said no more, waiting for Meng Shisan's next decision.

Meng Shisan nimbly climbed up the big tree where he was taking shelter, all the way to the highest treetop. He hugged the tree trunk tightly, half squatting and half sitting on the treetop to observe.
