Daughter Shenghua

Chapter 291
Something happened that night.

For some reason, a raging fire ignited in the south of the city, and the flames were connected together, and the monstrous fire shone so brightly that half of the sky was bright.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The exceptionally loud sound of gongs and drums awakened the sleeping people.

"Fire! Put out the fire!"

"It's on fire! It's on fire!"

"Save someone! See if anyone is there!"

……

The fire all over the sky and the shouts of the people soon alarmed the city defense battalion.

It is the duty of the city defense battalion to protect the capital.When they received the news, they immediately went to the south of the city to fight the fire.

It's just that there are a lot fewer guards patrolling the streets.

Although all the city defense battalions were mobilized, the fire was too large and the city defense battalion had limited manpower. It was a bit embarrassing to maintain law and order and put out the fire at the same time.

The fire could not be brought under control, so Zhang Cheng had to borrow troops from the Marquis of Jingbian.

Jingbianhou naturally readily agreed, and sent his confidant and beloved general to support him.

"We must evacuate the people as soon as possible to minimize their losses! Zhang Cheng, I order you to find the person who set the fire! I will make him pay the price!"

Hou Jingbian slapped the table violently in anger, and the whole person became very imposing.

"Yes! Lord Hou, don't worry!" Zhang Cheng got the support of Jingbianhou, and immediately summoned his men to go south of the city.

Only in this way, the manpower that Jingbianhou originally placed in the capital was reduced by half, and the number of people on duty outside the princess's mansion was also reduced a lot.

At this time, everyone's attention was attracted by the fire in the south of the city.

Yun Xi sat on the stone chair in the courtyard and looked at the faint red light in the sky, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

"How willing to put on such a big fire to perform this scene! I'm not afraid of ruining his reputation accumulated over the years!"

Su Xiangqing said with a light smile: "If he can get rid of your thorn in his side, he won't be afraid."

A look of anger appeared on Yun Xi's face, "You're really a fool! I don't know how many people will be displaced again!"

"Yun Xi, I can't blame you! Don't blame everything on yourself!" Shangguan Bailin advised.

Yun Xi smiled wryly, shook her head, and said with some irrelevant answers: "It should be soon, right?"

Su Xiangqing added some charcoal to the small stove, and said with a smile: "It's time for a good show, and it's not in vain for us to cook tea here in the cold wind in the middle of the night."

Yunxi smiled and took the kettle that Hongyi handed over and put it on the stove.

A gust of cold wind blows...

Shangguan Bailin gathered the cloak around his body, and with mist in his mouth, he said with displeasure: "You are not afraid of the cold, but I am cold! You just need to be comfortable, why do you have to drag me out!"

Chunxiao just came out with a brazier at this time, and was amused seeing Shangguan Bailin like this, and said, "Master, let's set up a brazier! It's cold today, don't catch it!"

"Chunxiao, put it here, quick! Put the brazier next to me!" Seeing the brazier coming, Shangguan Bailin hurriedly fought for its sovereignty.

Chunxiao smiled and moved the brazier to her side.

Shangguan Bailin instantly felt a warmth creeping into his body, "It's much more comfortable! Why do we have to come out! Isn't it the same to sit in the room?"

Yun Xi smiled and said, "How can such a great show not come to see it! Even if we can't see it with our own eyes, it's okay to know it right away!"

Shangguan Bailin pouted, noncommittal, and repeatedly urged Su Xiangqing to make tea quickly.

Su Xiangqing shook her head because of the quarrel between the two women, and then made tea on her own.

Seeing him like this, Yun Xi couldn't help laughing. There were many women chasing after his brother back then. If nothing happened at home, his brother would probably be married now!

After drinking a cup of hot tea, several people felt that a lot of chills had been driven away, and their bodies became warm.

Yun Xi suddenly rolled her eyes, looked at Su Xiangqing, then turned to look at Shangguan Bailin.

Suddenly there was an idea in my heart.

Thinking in my heart, I said it out of my mouth, "Brother, you are not married, and Bailin is not married. Why don't you make a couple!"

"Pfft!" Shangguan Bailin spat out the tea he had just drank.If Su Xiangqing hadn't been able to hide quickly, he would have suffered disaster.

Su Xiangqing also shook her head at this moment, with a look of helplessness on her face.

"Yun Xi! Don't mess with the mandarin ducks, please! How can it be possible for me and him! You didn't see that Nanyang Princess running to the mansion all day, and you almost moved in!" Shangguan Bailin said dissatisfied.

Yunxi smiled and said indifferently: "That's a little girl! My brother probably doesn't like it. But it's not necessarily true if it's you."

"Don't talk nonsense! I don't think Mr. Su treats that little girl easily. Besides, your brother is not my type. I like a life of freedom and happiness! He can't give it to you!" Shangguan Bailin seemed to think of it. What the heck, a longing look appeared on his face.

"What! You don't like my brother who is so good! Who can be better than my brother!" Yunxi was excited all at once.

Su Xiangqing on the side shook his head when he heard this.

In fact, he is not familiar with Shangguan Bailin.Although they all live in the princess mansion, they are limited to meeting and nodding.Shangguan Bailin is very good. Although he appreciates it, it is different from the relationship between a man and a woman.

Seeing Shangguan Bailin's embarrassing look on the side, he said: "Xi'er, don't worry about it. Miss Shangguan and I are just friends of gentlemen. Don't get a bad reputation!"

Shangguan Bailin hurriedly nodded in approval.

Yun Xi curled her lips and said, "Brother, isn't he really interested in that little princess?"

Yun Xi was just asking casually, but she found that Su Xiangqing's face was slightly unnatural.Although he tried his best to hide it, Yun Xi still saw the corner of his mouth slightly raised.

As soon as he mentioned the little princess, a smile appeared on his icy face, Yunxi suddenly looked forward to it, maybe it really...

……

Although the weather here in Yunxi is cold and peaceful, the south of the city is indeed a purgatory.Fortunately, there are few people living here, and the fire was discovered in time, so there were no major accidents.

At the same time, dozens of men in black were walking through the hidden streets with weapons in hand.They act quickly, without any unnecessary movements.You can tell at a glance that it has been trained for a long time and is well-trained.

Xiao Muyun and Xiao Cheng stood far away in an attic, watching this scene quietly.

"Is everything ready over there?" Xiao Muyun said.

Xiao Cheng quickly said: "It's all ready. Lord, don't worry!"

Xiao Muyun nodded, and soon the two disappeared into the night together.

……

The princess' mansion was quiet, as if the maids and guards had fallen asleep early.There is nothing unusual except that there are more pots and jars in the yard.

The men in black finally stopped not far from the princess' mansion.

After gesturing to each other, they quickly divided into five teams and sneaked towards the princess mansion from different directions.

The mansion was still quiet, not even a night watchman.These people discovered abnormality immediately!
"There is a problem. Withdraw!"

As soon as the order was issued, there was movement everywhere in the mansion.

It's just that with the sound of crackling and breaking things, it is very harsh at night.

At the same time, a light yellow mist suddenly appeared in the sky above the princess mansion.It's a pity that it's night and those men in black can't see it.

Although they didn't smell any peculiar smell, the sound of breaking things still startled them.These people have used their internal power one after another, just want to speed up and leave this place of right and wrong.
