Wind rises time and space gate

Chapter 489: Fire breaks out in the middle of the night
Zhao Guanghuan didn't expect that Lao Qi had managed to escape by hiding it from everyone.

"Send someone to the imperial mausoleum to get the substitute for Old Seven, and then pass the news on to the King of Qin."

The Seventh Brother not only concealed it from him, but also played the King of Qin around in circles. I believe that the two brothers, the King of Qin and the King of Chu, must be extremely interested in this news.

"Prince, Zhutou County is more urgent." The aide reminded the prince not to put the cart before the horse. The substitute of the King of Yue must be dealt with, but his real body is more important.

"I know." The matter in Zhutou County needed to be resolved, but Lao Qi had played a trick on him, so he couldn't let it go. If he kept the substitute, he didn't know what Lao Qi would do to him.

"Can you find out how many people are around the King of Yue?"

"Less than twenty," the aide replied. Although most of them were skilled fighters, half of them were scholars. "I just don't know how many have been prepared secretly."

"Send someone to investigate. Send twenty people from the Dark Guard Battalion to Zhutou County."

"Prince, twenty people may not be enough."

The prince boasted that his secret guards could defeat ten enemies at once, but thinking that the seventh brother had deceived everyone, he followed the advice of his staff and "sent another twenty good fighters to provide covert support."

"Yes."

When Zhao Guanghuan gave all these instructions, he did not avoid Yan Jingzhe. Yan Jingzhe was extremely anxious, but he did not dare to show it on his face.

After finally getting home, he was even more anxious when he thought that half a day had passed since the prince issued the order. As soon as he entered his own courtyard, he summoned the secret guards left by the King of Yue, "Quickly inform your master that the prince has sent forty secret guards to Zhutou County!"

The two secret guards were shocked. Forty secret guards from the East Palace!
Although he refused to admit defeat, the secret guard battalion in the hands of the King of Yue was passed down from Duke Lu, while the secret guards of the Eastern Palace were the royal secret guards. The two families had never officially confronted each other, so they did not know each other's strengths and weaknesses.

Now the prince has sent forty secret guards to kill the master! The master is in the open, and the prince's men are in the dark.

An Twelve urged An Eleven, "Go inform the master! And stay by his side to provide support. I'll go to the camp and ask them to send more people over!"

"But here?" It's impossible for both of them to be away.

Yan Jingzhe was extremely anxious. Was it more important to monitor his family than the life of the King of Yue? He immediately raised his hand and swore, "Since I promised the King of Yue, I am his man. I will never rebel!"

The two secret guards were still hesitating, and Yan Jingzhe added, "If anything happens to your master, I will take my family back to Yunjing Mountain."

Will not stay with Zhao Guanghuan.

The faith in his heart has been shaken, and no matter what the future holds, he will not stay with the prince.

The two secret guards looked at each other, nodded, and were about to act separately. Yan Jingzhe called An Twelve again, "The prince probably won't keep anyone from Zhutou. Think of a way to save him. That will be irrefutable evidence."

An Twelve nodded and flew out.

As for the Eastern Palace, just as Yan Jingzhe had expected, after Zhao Guanghuan issued a series of orders, he began to think of the few people sent by Xu Hu, the magistrate of Zhutou County.

"What about people?"

"She will be placed in the guest house." The man replied and looked at Zhao Guanghuan, "Prince, we cannot keep her here."

The prince nodded, "Go and deal with it."

"Yes." The man responded and left.

The prince stood there and gritted his teeth. He felt that the seventh brother had caused him a lot of trouble and became a little annoyed.

He called in a trusted aide and said, "I'm afraid the four million taels can no longer be hidden. Send them to the nine frontier armies immediately. You can decide how to distribute them."

Then he said seriously: "No deductions are allowed. Every ounce of silver must be put to good use."

There can be no mistakes with this money. The staff agreed, but at the same time they had a headache, "We have already spent the four million taels, and now the treasury may not be able to move so much cash at once."

Zhao Guanghuan wanted to get angry, but he held back. "Go and gather the money! Make sure to send the silver out of the capital within three days." How could a dignified Eastern Palace not gather four million taels of silver? Wouldn't that make people laugh?

The aide didn't dare to say anything more, and quickly responded and went out.

In the guest house, several men from Zhutou County gathered in a room, drinking, playing dice, and drinking, having a great time. There were wine stains on the table, but they were so excited that no one bothered to wipe them off. The table was filled with all kinds of food to go with the wine.

"Heizi, why don't you place your bet? What are you thinking about?"

The one called Heizi threw down the few coins in his hand and said, "You guys can have fun. I've drunk too much. I'm going out to sober up."

"You are afraid of losing, right?" the crowd said. "Didn't the prince say he would give us a reward? Don't worry, by tomorrow at the latest your money bag may not even have enough silver."

Heizi was upset, "You guys go play, I'm going to go out and get some fresh air."

"Forget it, let him be." The few of them ignored him and went back to playing.

Heizi walked out of the house and looked up at the pitch-black night. He always felt that there was a hint of unreality. The darkness was so heavy that he felt unable to breathe.

Thinking about that night, I followed the adults' instructions, pulled out the gate holes on the newly built dam, dug the embankment, and watched the surging river water pouring down. The sound of the rushing water kept Heizi awake every night.

Every time he closed his eyes, he could hear the sound of rushing water. The pouring water seemed to swallow him up.

"Fuck!" Heizi cursed, not knowing whether he was cursing himself or someone else.

He kicked the stone blocking the road forward hard, venting his emotions.

The night wind carried him, making him feel more upset. He felt the urge to urinate, and Heizi cursed again, grabbed his crotch, and stomped to the corner.

He couldn't wait to take out the bird and started to make a noise in the corner.

Until a few fluttering sounds, particularly dull ones, startled Heizi. He cursed inwardly and turned his head to look...

Suddenly, a streak of blood splashed onto the window frame, so quickly and fiercely that it seemed as if it was about to splash onto Heizi's face. He subconsciously closed his eyes.

He opened his eyes again, and saw several arc-shaped bloodstains on the window frame slowly hanging down, which stunned Heizi.

He was halfway through peeing when he suddenly got scared and stood there in a daze, like an idiot. It was not until someone covered his mouth and nose from behind that he started to flutter in shock.

An Twelve was a little annoyed that he was late.

After the man in black in the room flew out, An Twelve jumped over the wall with Heizi in his arms, and set fire to the room before leaving.

The prince and others came over upon hearing the news, and frowned as they looked at the burning house.

"Have you checked everything? Are they all in there?"

"The guards outside said no one has gone out."

A secret guard hiding behind him was a little confused. It seemed that there were only five people in the room. But now the guard said that no one had gone out. Maybe there were originally five people. Maybe the other person had been dealt with.

So I didn't take it to heart.

The prince nodded, "Send someone to put out the fire, and report back to the palace that a servant was playing dice and accidentally knocked over a candle, burning the house."

"Yes." Voices from all over the place immediately rose up, "Quick, get some water!"
