It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 618: The Wind Lord Sets Off Ghost Fires at Midnight

As a general, Li Lianhua is now afraid of others taking too much care of her because she is a woman. When she was about to say something, Yang Xianyong pulled her sleeve and said to Liang Wenbao: "Master Liang, don't prepare too much. Our general is also very powerful."

"Yes, yes, yes." Liang Wenbao lowered his head again.

Liang Wenbao wanted to arrange for Li Lianhua to live in the backyard of the government office, where his family members were also, saying that it would be convenient to take care of the female general.

Li Lianhua's face darkened again.

In the end, Yang Xianyong gave up his room in the front yard of the government office for her to move in, while he and Deputy General Yu squeezed into a room to rest. Only then did Li Lianhua's complexion look much better.

Liang Wenbao wanted to invite Yang Xianyong to drink in the evening, but Yang Xianyong said that he was too tired and needed to rest because of the pain in his leg. Liang Wenbao did not insist and repeatedly reminded him before returning to the backyard.

After a whole day of hard work, everyone was indeed very tired.

Yang Xianyong's legs were aching, so he had to use a stick to support himself when he walked, so that his body would not tilt. He inspected the front yard, gave his people some instructions, and then returned to his room.

Of course, I also met the on-duty yamen runners and several militiamen on the way, and chatted with them for a few words.

When he returned to the room, Deputy General Yu and others were already waiting for him. They did not go back to their own rooms, but gathered here.

The front yard where the deputy generals and Li Lianhua lived was actually the rooms on both sides of the lobby of the government office. There were rooms for storing documents, resting places for legal advisors and yamen runners, and two slightly larger rooms that were also used to receive people who came to file complaints on weekdays.

These soldiers who fought outside all year round didn't need too many things, they just laid out a straw mat and could lie down flat. Only in Li Lianhua's room did Liang Wenbao put a low couch and a quilt, which was considered a special consideration.

Li Lianhua placed her armor on the bed and covered it with a quilt to make a human figure. Then, she quietly went to Yang Xianyong's room and squatted under the window to stare at her room.

Just like Liang Wenbao said, many generals who came here to suppress bandits before had their heads chopped off by Feng Ye in the middle of the night, so they had to be careful and could not be careless even when sleeping.

"Such a big commotion has entered the city today, this Feng Ye must have known about it, and he must have taken some action tonight." Deputy General Yu whispered, Yang Xianyong nodded, and let Li Lianhua get closer to him. She was only wearing men's clothes, and her hair was tied up in a bun on top of her head like a man.

Looking at her now, she didn't look like a mother who had given birth to two children, but rather a young girl. Yang Xianyong quietly closed his eyes and sighed quietly. If there were no such world, she would be in the backyard, taking care of her husband and children, leading an ordinary life, and he would probably never see her again in his lifetime.

Suddenly, Li Lianhua approached him and whispered, "Is someone coming? I feel something passing by."

Yang Xianyong immediately perked up and looked outside with squinted eyes.

But he saw nothing. The front yard was very quiet. The two large lanterns in front of the hall did not sway, and there were even a few unknown insects chirping.

"No, there is someone in the room." Before Lieutenant General Yu finished his words, he heard movement in Li Lianhua's room, probably something falling on the ground.

Everyone jumped out of the door at the same time and showed the swords in their hands.

Deputy General Yu kicked the door open.

Deputy General He lit a fire stick and shone it inside, but there was no one inside. Only Li Lianhua's armor fell to the ground, and the quilt was in another direction. They rushed in immediately, but still found nothing.

The point is, there were only armor and quilts on the floor in the room, and nothing else showed any signs of having been touched.

So, what happened?
Yang Xianyong did not rush in with them. He stood in the yard. Some of his personal soldiers had already rushed in with torches, lighting up everything in the front yard. He carefully observed every corner of the yard, but there was nothing unusual.

Li Lianhua came out carrying her armor, followed by other lieutenants. But at that moment, the blanket on the ground suddenly caught fire, and the fire quickly grew bigger...

Everyone was busy going back to put out the fire, and the scene became quite chaotic.

Liang Wenbao, who got the news, ran over in dishevel, wearing only one shoe. He asked nervously, "What's going on? Master Feng has come to the government office? What should I do? Oh my God!"

His wailing caused the guards and lawyers on duty in the government office to kneel on the ground, trembling with fear and shouting: "Master Feng, don't be angry!"

"Master Feng, please don't harm our lives!"

"Master Feng, let's discuss this matter properly. Don't hurt anyone else's life!"

When these people shouted, the atmosphere became even more weird.

The fire was out, and the quilt was taken out. Deputy General Yu and his men were also brave, and they put out the fire on the quilt with their feet.

Li Lianhua saw that Yang Xianyong was hit by the yamen runner and his body was unstable, so she immediately walked out of the room to help him up and whispered to him, "Before I came out, I clearly put the armor on the low couch. Just now, I didn't see anyone go in, I just felt something shake in the room."

"I didn't see anything." Deputy General Chang also came out and helped Li Lianhua support Yang Xianyong.

"Yeah." Yang Xianyong nodded. Seeing Liang Wenbao coming over, he raised his voice a little: "General Li, I'm fine."

"What's wrong with you, nephew?" Liang Wenbao's face was full of concern, and he didn't even care about his bare feet.

"It's okay, it's okay. My legs just hurt in the middle of the night, so I thought of asking Lieutenant General Yu to find some herbs. General Li heard it and came to check on my legs. Who would have thought that in just a short while, her room caught fire... Maybe the oil lamp fell over." Yang Xianyong secretly tugged at Li Lianhua's sleeve, signaling her not to speak.

"Oh, how could you be so careless." Liang Wenbao looked at the quilt on the ground and said distressedly, "This is a new quilt that my old mother helped to sew... Well, let's hang it in the morning and let my mother tidy it up. It should be usable again."

"Yes." Someone handed Yang Xianyong a wooden stick so that he could support himself. "Master Liang, go back to sleep. It's alright."

"Well..." Liang Wenbao looked at Li Lianhua, who nodded: "It's okay, I can just squeeze in with them."

"Well...it would be better if General Li just lived in the backyard." Liang Wenbao asked again.

"No need." Li Lianhua didn't want to pay attention to him. After all, the man's clothes were wide open, and all the fat on his body was exposed. He looked very ugly.
