Chapter 22 Moon Lake Calamity
King Xian in the town soon got the news. The secret guards who went to check concluded that Gu Quan had escaped along the road and out of the mountain. They chased for several miles but could not find a trace. It was not until they found that the horse's hoof prints disappeared beside a small river that they became angry. And return.

King Xian suspected that someone was planning it, but could not find any evidence.

Angrily, he whipped the secret guard who reported back more than a dozen times, but he still couldn't calm down.This time, ten of the fourteen imperial guards who followed him were killed. In addition, several of the guards in the mansion were also killed.Fortunately, Liu Er was already at his desk, and he was able to explain things clearly.

"Jin Yiwei is also a fool!" King Xian gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for Hou Zhengxiong sending a group of people who sweep the floor and pour night incense on me, he would have died!"

Zuo Qing said: "Perhaps we underestimated the enemy too much. Over the years, many criminals have fled to Lingnan. Maybe this Yuehu Town is a place where filth and evil are hidden. Now that we know how we act, And there are weapons and abilities.”

Zuo Qing's words hit the King Xian's fancy. He nodded thoughtfully, leaned back on his chair, and said slowly: "There are a number of imperial prisoners hidden in Yuehu Town! Jinyiwei fell into the trap and was betrayed." Killing by thieves. In order to encircle and eradicate this group of traitors and not let a single fugitive escape, I have to massacre the town!"

King Xian had already thought about it. The task given by Concubine Ji must not be failed no matter what. If the town was burned down, no one would be able to find out Gu Quan's whereabouts, and it would be over.

"Zuo Chi, after you return to the capital, go and copy out the names of the imperial prisoners who have escaped without any clues, and let them 'die' in Yuehu Town!" King Xian walked out of the inn with his hands behind his back.

After counting the remaining men, King Xian prepared to escort Liu Er back to the capital.Only Zuo Qing and others were left to set fire and kill people.

Unexpectedly, Zuo Qing and Zuo Chi's horses kept having diarrhea and would not move no matter how hard they were driven.Several people were sweating profusely and wasted a lot of time.

"Your Majesty, you should be anxious! Gu Quan has run away, and your Majesty is not very good-tempered. Well, there are no real fugitives in Yuehu Town anyway, and we can't be more serious. It is more serious to catch up with the team." Zuo Qing and Zuo Chi discussed .

Zuo Chi didn't have any objections. If the delay continued, the whip the prince slapped on the secret guards would fall on them.So they hastily ordered a few houses here and there, and hurriedly urged the exhausted horses to catch up with King Xian and cover up the matter.

Prince Xian saw thick smoke rising from Yuehu Town from a distance, so he got into the carriage and hurried back to the capital.

Xie San made a circle and watched Lao Si's motorcade go away on the mountain, taking Ling Xue and Mingze back to Yuehu Town.Li Zheng was already directing everyone to put out the fire, and the injured people were gathered in the ancestral temple for treatment. Haitang, Ji'er and two other town doctors were busy rescuing the injured.

Xie San and Haitang only took photos from a distance.

At that time, Xie San, dressed in silver and wearing a white horse, immediately stared at Haitang. Haitang straightened up and looked out as if she had sensed something.I saw Xie San clenching his right hand into a fist, with the center of his fist facing his heart.Haitang also slowly raised his right hand and followed Xie San in doing the same action.Silence is better than sound.

King Duan smiled and turned his horse's head and ran towards Yueling.

On the ridge, the elderly and children who were hiding in caves returned home one after another. There were also some whose homes were burned down and who were still staying in the caves for the time being. Those who received the news that people at home had been killed and injured cried and cried.Feng Mingze went over to help people and carry things, while Feng Tingxiao comforted those who stayed.

Duan Wang and Ling Xue should not show up. They returned to Gu Quan's home and told Gu Quan in detail what happened.Gu Quan stood there for a long time and sighed. Although the damage to Yuehu Town was not big, it was because of the unforeseen disaster he suffered.He became more determined to leave Yueling. Since he had no direction, following Feng Tingxiao and his wife to Yunnan would be an extra step to take care of him.Night fell, but Yuehu Town had no sleep all night.Although they escaped the disaster this time, there were still more than a dozen casualties.Haitang and the others couldn't leave until midnight.

Xie San and Ling Xue had been waiting in the shadow of the trees. When they saw them walking into the path up the ridge, Xie San rode over and stretched out his hand to her.When getting on the horse, Haitang suddenly discovered that Xie San's saddle was equipped with an extra pair of pedals.This is what Xie San asked Mingze to pretend for him after he rode back last time.

"Thank you," Haitang said with a smile: "If you hadn't suggested hiding the old and the young first, there would have been more casualties."

Xie San smiled and said: "Thank you for your poison ball, I didn't even encounter a close enemy."

"Is it so powerful?" Haitang burst out laughing and turned to look at him: "It's probably because there is no wind today and there are few people. If the wind is strong, the effect will be much smaller."

Haitang paused and said, "Master may be going to Yunnan with Uncle Feng and Aunt Feng."

"Do you want to come back to the capital with me?" Xie San asked in a low voice.

Haitang shook his head and said: "Wherever the master goes, I will go."

Xie San said deliberately: "Feng Mingze wants to go with me."

Haitang smiled: "Although we are good friends, he is him and I am me. He can go as he goes. Of course, my sister also hopes that her brother will have a good future."

After hearing what she said, Xie San was secretly relieved, not to mention how happy he was.

Seeing that they were about to arrive home, Xie San rubbed the top of Haitang's head and asked with a smile: "What are you going to make for me tomorrow?"

"You remember clearly what I said about making food!" Haitang pursed her lips and smiled.

Xie San lowered his head, put his lips close to Haitang's ear and whispered softly: "I remember every word you said clearly. You said 'you give me life', but do you mean 'my heart is yours'?" "

Haitang, who was sitting on the horse, couldn't run anymore. She couldn't help but blush and her heart beat. She didn't know how to answer for a while.

On a bright moonlit night, there is a gentle breeze at the bottom of my sleeves.Suddenly I saw Tan Lang coming on horseback, as if in a dream.
