Stunning Phoenix Emperor

Chapter 132

"Don't worry, Your Highness, some sisters have already gone to check." A woman with the appearance of the captain of the guard came over and said respectfully.
Su Hanxiao nodded, looked up, and saw a dark red flickering, which seemed to be a fire.
After a while, a soldier hurried over and whispered something in the captain's ear.
The captain's expression changed, and he turned around and said, "Your Highness, the second warehouse is on fire."
"What?" Su Hanxiao was taken aback for a moment, then broke out in cold sweat.
The second warehouse is not far from where Qin Yue is, just a few houses away, and from here, the fire is definitely not small, and with the strong wind tonight, I am afraid it will spread over soon.
Regardless of whether it is an enemy or one of our own, if a peerless master or a wise man is burned to death for no reason, it would be... too ridiculous.
"Go and have a look!" Su Hanxiao grabbed a cloak and put it on before going out.
"Your Highness, stay here." The captain turned around, blocked her way, and said calmly, "There are no supplies in the warehouse due to the days of war, and there are not even boxes and cages in the second warehouse. Such a big fire broke out all at once. It is obvious that someone set the fire. Although the purpose is still unclear, it is faint that someone wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, please don't risk yourself, Your Highness."
Su Hanxiao admitted that what she said was reasonable, but she would never feel at ease if she didn't go and see it now, and she didn't argue right now, she just said, "Even so, but taking advantage of the fire to loot is naturally to let everyone focus on the fire scene, and then take advantage of the chaos to go away." Do something else? So, isn’t the fire site the safest place?”
"This..." The captain was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, and while hesitating, Su Hanxiao had already passed through their defensive circle.After stomping her feet, she finally shouted, "Follow up and protect His Highness!"
"Yes!" In an instant, as Su Hanxiao expected, many soldiers came out from various inconspicuous places, each shaking off the fallen leaves and other things that were stained on their bodies due to hiding their bodies, and followed them together.
Su Hanxiao turned around and saw Bailiqing open the door, and said loudly, "Take care of yourself, go back and wait for me."
"Yes, Your Highness." Bailiqing replied softly.
Su Hanxiao didn't know if he understood his hint, but he couldn't speak directly in front of so many people.However, Bailiqing never let her down.
"Hanxiao, what happened again?" Lan Chenyan pushed aside the guards and chased after him, naturally Lan Ying followed.
"Someone set fire to the warehouse, the specific circumstances are still unknown." Su Han said with a smile.
"Oh? The war is over, and there are people like this! Is it Qin Yue?" Lan Chenyan said enthusiastically.
"Well... who knows? Go and have a look." Su Hanxiao said vaguely.
On the other side, the silent blue shadow just followed behind them, with a hint of thought in his eyes from time to time.
A group of people quickly came to the warehouse, only to find that the fire was basically under control. Although the second warehouse would definitely not be able to keep it, at least it would not implicate the nearby buildings.From this point of view, the adaptability of Mingyueguan soldiers is still very good.
"Your Highness was also alarmed?" Shu Jie ran over sweating profusely.
"What's going on?" Su Hanxiao looked at the fire and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
The fire was huge, but not too violent, and there was a faint smell of wine in the air, so it could be seen that the fire was set on fire with wine.However, in her opinion, if it was intentional sabotage, the fire could be expanded a lot. So, what's the point?
"I don't know." Shu Jie shook his head, and said in a deep voice, "According to the soldiers who watched the night, the fire started all at once. The first thing you saw was just a small flame, and it spread to a large area in a blink of an eye. The tool is this."
As she spoke, she dropped a half-burnt arrow on the ground, and it seemed that something was still tied to the arrowhead. She brought it up to her nose and smelled it, and the strong aroma of wine hit her face.
"The arrowhead was wrapped with cotton wadding soaked in wine, and it was fired after it was lit." Lan Chenyan leaned over to take a look, and said with certainty.
"That's right, and someone poured a lot of wine on the roof of the second warehouse beforehand." Shu Jie added.
"But no one notices such a strong smell of alcohol?" Su Hanxiao frowned.
"The last group of night watchmen who passed by here said there were none." Shu Jie said with a wry smile, "Originally, the warehouse should be guarded by heavy soldiers, but at this time the warehouse is empty, and it would not have become the target of the enemy. With regard to the assassins who just made trouble, most of the guards in the mansion are concentrated near the residences of His Highness and the generals, so it is inevitable to relax a little here."
Su Hanxiao nodded, understanding what they did.But... the burning of the second warehouse should be to deceive people's eyes and ears, or to divert everyone's attention, right?So what is the purpose of this person?
Besides, there was one more thing that made her very uneasy.
Obviously there was such a big commotion, but Mei Ruoshui still didn't show up.
He was there to investigate, but in this situation, no one should be missing.
Gradually, the worry in my heart became heavier.
"By the way, where is Ruoshui?" Lan Chenyan asked, "It's really rare that he isn't by your side to protect you!"
"Ruoshui... Tired." Su Han smiled calmly, but deliberately showed a trace of guilt.
"Huh? Tired? Didn't he just chase after an assassin, his martial arts..." Lan Chenyan said in astonishment halfway, suddenly noticed her face, stopped abruptly, and stammered after a while, " you you……"
Su Hanxiao shrugged, exchanged a knowing look with him, and did not speak.
"What time is this... a pervert!" Lan Chenyan blushed, stared at her fiercely, cursed in a low voice, and then turned her face away, not daring to look at her.
