Chapter 199
The mountain where Qingyun Village is located is very high, so the time it takes to burn it is naturally not short.

Although Yun Xiao led people to stop the fire from burning to the top of the mountain, but in order not to arouse the suspicion of the second prince and others, she also let the fire halfway up the mountain.

The fire burned for more than three hours. In the end, people couldn't even tell whether it was the fire that dyed the sky red, or the sunset in the evening that made the mountain fire look more poignant and spectacular.

The second prince and the others couldn't bear the heat outside that was made even hotter by the fire, so they hid in the carriage ahead of time, and asked several attendants to take turns to help fan the wind.

It's just that the remaining less than seven thousand bandit suppressing troops had to stand at the foot of the mountain without even the slightest shade under the scorching sun.

Feel the scorching heat.

After three hours, almost all of them were turned into delicate flowers in the afternoon,

All of them were drooping, without the slightest energy.

"Look at you one or two! You are still good soldiers...

Not even my son! "

After finally staying up until the sun went down, it was actually cooler outside than inside the carriage,
Qian Pengtao, who had been lying comfortably in the carriage all afternoon, just got out of the carriage, and couldn't help belittling those elite soldiers in a strange way to set off his "strength":

"After a while, when the last sparks on the mountain are gone, I still have to go up the mountain with His Royal Highness the Second Prince and the others to see if there is still edible food on the mountain.

With you like this, are you afraid that you will hold me back? "

"Your Highness."

On the other side, the counselor of the second prince obviously also heard Qian Pengtao's words.

He walked quickly to the side of the second prince's carriage, lifted the curtain, and persuaded in a low voice:

"It was getting late at this time, and it was not easy to walk the mountain road again.

Besides, everyone has been under the scorching sun for a whole day, and they are already exhausted.

If there are still organ traps on this mountain that have not been destroyed by the fire, I'm afraid we will cause some unnecessary casualties if we just go up like this.

If not, wait until dawn tomorrow morning..."

"What are you talking about!"

The counselor's voice was indeed not high, but the second prince's carriage was too close to Qian Pengtao.

In addition, after Qian Pengtao finished his self-satisfied words just now, he immediately turned around and wanted to come over and perform again in front of the second prince.

Coincidentally, I happened to hear the counselor's completely opposite opinion.

Qian Pengtao, who has always had the best face, couldn't help it immediately:
"It's too dark, can't we just light a few more torches?
It's not like you don't know how hot it is this day. If you don't hurry up to finish the work while the night is cool, you have to delay it until the sun comes out tomorrow.

In case the sun is too poisonous, so hot that everyone gets into the body on the way up the mountain, and suffers from urticaria,
It's okay for me to wait, but if His Royal Highness the Second Prince also falls because of this... Can you bear this responsibility? "

"When the sky just dawns in the morning, it won't be too hot. Mr. Qian's words are really alarmist."

The counselors around the second prince didn't like Qian Pengtao, a dude who went out without thinking because of his good family background.
He frowned, and his tone was not very pleasant:

"Young Master Qian sat in the carriage all afternoon, so he couldn't comprehend the difficulty of the soldiers standing under the scorching sun."

"What do you mean by that?"
