Chapter 436
Xie Shen and his brothers were still chanting, when suddenly there was a wind.

The wind is blowing, and the fallen leaves are flying.

The lanterns on the side of the road were crackling and crackling, and it was windy in spring, but with this wind, many people on the street shivered.

"It's really a demon wind!"

Xie Shen screamed. Looking back, he saw that the small fire had grown a long way, and then he saw those red clothes still digging a large trench around the fire, and countless sand and dust The soil was flying, and for a moment it really restrained the speed of the fire from spreading.

Xie Shen murmured: "It's almost like wrestling."

Thinking about it carefully, it seems to be true.

The faint smile that Xie Shen had always had on his face disappeared without knowing it, and his heart was pounding wildly.

The wind is given by the sky, how can human beings match it?
At this moment, mortals in the mortal world are wrestling with this 'sky', and they haven't failed yet!
People who have not seen such a scene will never understand his mood at this moment. In the eyes of others, this may not be a small matter, but it is just a secret surprise. All the cognitions seemed to be broken in an instant.

It turns out that when people face the mighty power of 'heaven', they really can't... they can only accept their fate and watch their fate.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, the wind is sweeping, the wind and sand are fascinating to the eye, the wind helps the firepower, and it swallows up the remaining wreckage of the burning house in an instant, and spreads rapidly to the surroundings.

A group of young people in red clothes surrounded them desperately, blocking all the flames that might break through the blockade.

Xie Shen fell silent, sighed, and solemnly led his good brothers into the group of red clothes. Whoever has the ability to protect himself and everyone else should take the lead.

This is not the time to argue over who will take the lead.

Under the night, the starlight seemed to be dimmed by the flames. After some time, the wind finally subsided.

The fire burned for most of the night, and after all, it still moved a lot to the southeast. The red-clothed servants of 'Gu Ji' were all exhausted, and their efficiency seemed to gradually decrease compared with the beginning.

Xie Shen didn't say anything sarcastic.

It was the fat housekeeper of the Zhang family and the two eunuchs who came out of the palace. They were quite displeased with Gu Xiang's robbery of their Zhang family's house in their hearts, but they also didn't go out to say anything unpleasant at the moment. .

These red clothes are obviously good enough, and no one can blame them, even if the fire is not controlled in the end.

Xie Shen wiped the sweat from his forehead, and turned his handsome face into gray and black. He counted the people saved by the red clothes today. As far as he remembered, there were fifty or sixty.

"These guys are lucky."

Not to mention the two big fires last year, the one in August last year was much smaller than this time, and the number of casualties seemed to be more than this time.

Xie Shen exhaled, and felt that Xie Shang had been tugging at his sleeve, so he couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't know where his brother learned his faults, some habits were just like a little girl——

As soon as he turned around, Xie Shen was stunned.

Many neighbors in the neighborhood rushed over to help.

The wind is not too low now. The people in the capital know how difficult and dangerous it is to fight fires in a windy day. In this regard, they have learned lessons from blood. Doesn't a small fire cause two or three times?

Almost every household in this family has various fire prevention measures, and even children are no strangers to talking about fires.

In the face of such a big fire, ordinary people, except those who have no choice but to protect their families, how can others dare to come forward?It's not that I'm impatient.

Today is a little different.

"Why do I think, tsk, with people like 'Gu Ji' around, everyone seems to be much more courageous."

Xie Shang raised his head, glanced at the little lady who was sitting cross-legged on the eaves, pointing and talking while gnawing the pancakes, and said with a chuckle, "This group of people is quite powerful."

When the morning sun sheds the first ray of light on the horizon, there are only a few sporadic sparks left, shining on the cold sawdust.

The small half of the street was empty.

The once dense houses and roadside buildings all disappeared.

The common people hurriedly cleaned up the homes that had been robbed, their faces numb.

However, it wasn't enough to cry and wail everywhere, even the expressions of Inspector Zhang and his group were quite calm.

Encountering such things, they all thought that the best result would be to destroy many houses. At least this street is unlikely to be able to survive such a big fire. Don't let the sons and daughters of the family fall, and arrester Zhang is willing to recite Amitabha Buddha [-] times.

But the situation was much better than expected. The three adjacent houses were completely burned down. In addition, the big princess's garden and the Zhang family's house also suffered heavy losses.

But the eldest princess is reasonable, and her garden was demolished on her own initiative.

Detective Zhang quickly felt that in a few days he would sing praises of the princess's virtues, and the responsibility for this matter would not fall on his head.As for the disappearing yard of Zhang Shangshu's house, ahem, that's a headache for the people above, and it all involves Shangshu, so what's the matter with him, a little catcher?

After being tired all night, Inspector Zhang quickly looked up, but he didn't see the young lady of the Gu family. He frowned, and was looking around looking for someone, when he heard greetings coming from behind. Looking back, it was the Xin from the teahouse. The boss and the proprietress brought tea over.

It is said that the tea in their house is weak, but now everyone has been busy all night, their mouths are dry, and they drink the warm herbal tea in one gulp, but they feel refreshed from the bottom of their hearts.

Captain Zhang quickly felt that he was used to drinking the tea prepared by the proprietress, and if he went to drink tea elsewhere, he would feel a little strange.

Not to mention anything else, since the fire started till now, Boss Xin and his wife have been busy all night long.

Watching from a distance, Detective Zhang was a little surprised: These two looked quite old, but there was a kind of childlike enthusiasm and joy in their expressions at this moment, which was really interesting.

The sky lightened slightly.

On the contrary, there were fewer pedestrians on the street. Except for the patrol battalion and the fast-moving yamen servants, the rest of the people went back to rest one after another.

In almost a short time, the news of what happened last night spread, and a fire aroused uneasiness deep in the hearts of the people.

Gu Xiang slept until noon, woke up in a daze, and heard Qiuli, the old dog, and Ermu and his party outside whispering.

"Pfft, it's true, the God of Thunder came into the world, how can our Snow Eagle look like the God of Thunder? Why don't we say she is the Mother of Lightning!"

Gu Xiang smiled, not feeling strange about this rumor.

Don't look at the heroic appearance of 'Red Clothes' turning the tide last night, which shocked everyone, but Xue Ying's sword like wind, thunder, and lightning is even more legendary.
