Chapter 621: Fengyang City Government Office Explodes

When Yang Xianyong and Deputy General Yu returned to Fengyang City, it was already late at night. Deputy General Yu supported Yang Xianyong and limped into the city. The Fengyang guards who were guarding the city saw them and insisted that Yang Xianyong get on their cart. "It's okay. It's midnight. No one will say anything if you use the cart. Besides, General Yang has a leg injury and can't be too tired."

Yang Xianyong did not refuse and let Deputy General Yu help him get on the carriage and lie down. In fact, he was really tired and wanted to take a shower and go to bed.

When I returned to the government office, I heard a loud noise as soon as I stepped into the door. It was a dark night, and the candlelight was not very bright, but I could see dust and smoke rising.

He and Deputy General Yu were stunned to see that the lobby of Fengyang City Government Office had collapsed.

To be precise, not all of it collapsed, but the southwest corner of the hip-and-gable roof had all fallen down, and the tiles on it were shattered all over the ground, which looked very scary.

At the same time, Li Lianhua and the other deputy generals also ran out of the lobby in a hurry, terrified.

"What happened?" Yang Xianyong and Deputy General Yu didn't know what to say. Fortunately, they saw that no one was buried and everyone was safe.

Deputy General He was more irritable and started to curse. "What are you doing? Even the house can collapse in the middle of the night?"

"It was fine, how could it collapse?" Lieutenant General Li took the torch from the soldiers who rushed over and walked straight to the collapsed place.

The three wild dogs that had returned a long time ago had been squatting at the door of the room where Yang Xianyong lived. They were also frightened and watched everything in horror.

One of the dogs saw Yang Xianyong and suddenly started growling.

Yang Xianyong couldn't care about them and just looked at the collapsed place.

Many guards rushed over when they heard the noise, and there were more lanterns and torches, lighting up the place.

At this time, Lieutenant General Chang followed Lieutenant General Li and planned to get closer to see the situation.

Li Lianhua glanced at Yang Xianyong and followed him.

But Yang Xianyong stepped behind her, grabbed her sleeve, and shouted, "Danger!"

Before he finished speaking, the rubble from the roof that had fallen to the ground suddenly exploded.

The power was not small. The shattered rocks instantly flew in all directions and hit the guards who didn't have time to dodge.

Lieutenant General Li was the closest to them, but he was even blown three feet away by the air wave and lay motionless on the ground.

This frightened everyone. If Yang Xianyong hadn't pulled Li Lianhua, she would have been thrown out. Deputy General Chang in front of her was already kneeling on the ground with blood all over his face.

"Call a doctor!" Li Lianhua yelled. She also supported Yang Xianyong and asked anxiously, "Are you injured?"

"It's okay." Yang Xianyong touched his arm. There was indeed some debris flying over. Fortunately, nothing happened.

"Everyone, step back!" Li Lianhua grabbed him and retreated towards the door, while also keeping a close eye on the collapsed southwest corner. This time they dared not be careless.

Just as everyone was retreating out the door, Liang Wenbao, his personal attendants, and his lawyers came running in from the backyard. They were going to pass through the corridor next to the southeast corner of the lobby, and they were shouting anxiously: "What's going on? Did the Wind Lord show up?"

Before he could finish his sentence, the hip roof in the southeast corner of the lobby collapsed, and the scene became even more chaotic.

Because of this collapse, Liang Wenbao and others were buried underneath.

"Back off, back off!" Li Lianhua's voice became extremely sharp, and it sounded particularly scary in the night. "Don't get close to the lobby! Back off!"

Because before we knew it, the eaves in front of the lobby began to drop rubble, and then with a loud bang, all the tiles on the lobby door of the Fengyang City Government Office fell down and shattered on the ground.

Fortunately, however, the entire lobby building did not collapse.

After calming down a little, Li Lianhua shouted again: "Save people, save people first!"

Deputy General Yu led his men to carry out the injured Deputy Generals Li and Chang. Yang Xianyong led several soldiers to rescue Liang Wenbao. When he ran to the southeast corner, he saw Liang Wenbao and others slowly climbing up. It turned out that it was just the eaves that fell, and they happened to be in the corridor. They were not hit or injured, but they were very scared.

Liang Wenbao's face turned pale, and the two lawyers beside him were trembling all over. The yamen runners were better, supporting Liang Wenbao and helping him brush off the dirt on his body.

"Is everything okay?" Yang Xianyong also ran over and supported Liang Wenbao. Liang Wenbao also asked anxiously: "My dear nephew, are you okay? Are you not injured?"

No one dared to stay in the government office and they all ran out onto the street.

Li Lianhua had a gloomy face and asked someone to count the number of people first. He found that except for Deputy General Chang and Deputy General Li who were slightly seriously injured, the others had minor injuries and were not in serious condition.

"Why did the eaves fall off? Sir Liang, how long have you been repairing this government office?"

"Well... this government office is quite old, at least 70 or 80 years old. Because there was too much rain last month, I noticed there was a leak somewhere, so I asked the craftsmen to repair the roof and put up some tiles... Well, I really don't know how this could happen?" Liang Wenbao was so scared that he started stuttering.

The master beside him was shaking, so another master held him up. But this master suddenly jumped up and shouted, "It's the God of Wind who is angry! It's the God of Land who has appeared! There is a god enshrined on the eaves, and it's the God of Land! How could they fall down? How could it be? It must be the God of Wind who is angry!"

When he shouted like that, even those who were not afraid became afraid.

There were already many people from Fengyang City who were watching the fun at the door, and they were all whispering and talking about the ghostly presence of Feng Ye.

"Shut his mouth!" Li Lianhua frowned, "Stop talking nonsense here! Anyone who disturbs the morale of the army will be killed without mercy!"

This roar finally calmed the situation. Her soldiers were no pushovers. They first pinned the mad master to the ground and then covered his mouth. Liang Wenbao was so scared that he dared not speak. He knelt aside with his head down, shaking like a sieve.

"Surround this place and don't let anyone out!" Li Lianhua gave another order and someone went to carry it out.

Yang Xianyong thought of his three dogs at this time, and couldn't help but look inside again. He turned back and said to Li Lianhua, "General, can I get the dogs out?"

"It's dangerous!" Li Lianhua disagreed.

"It's okay, that's it." Yang Xianyong patted the loose dirt on his body again, "They are more sensitive than us. Weren't they the ones who gave the warning just now? So, don't be afraid."

"I'll go with you." Li Lianhua was still worried, so she followed Yang Xianyong and then asked in a low voice, "Is there anything wrong?"
