Chapter 97 Yingzhou City...exploded

Diagonally opposite the Hejian post house, there is a restaurant called "Sihai Restaurant".

It is not an ordinary restaurant, but one of the strongholds of Meihua Neiwei in Yingzhou City.

This secret is known only to Princess Lanling and the Qiu Dian Army and Dong Dian Army who guard her. No one else knows.

At this moment, in a private room on the second floor of Sihai Restaurant, Princess Lanling and all the officials in the mansion were sitting one by one. Outside the wide open window was the Hejian Inn, which was brightly lit as before.

The princess finally moved on.

He came here secretly with a group of subordinate officials.

In order to hide herself from others, she turned into a maid, but her grace and nobility could not be concealed.

The rest of the servants, maids, guards, etc., had no idea about this and were still staying in the post house...

When they first arrived here, everyone was very nervous. They were even imagining the tragic scene of the post house being overturned by a huge fire later.

Princess Lanling, who was dressed as a maid, looked very solemn, staring at the post house outside the window, not knowing what was going on in her heart.

Wang You, Sima, the chief secretary, and Zhou Ji's office, etc., were worried but could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.

The two people who consulted on military affairs and literature, their faces still pale, silently retreated to the side...

In this way, in the almost solid air in the box, time passed by minute by minute, and no one spoke during this period.

However, a quarter of an hour passed, two quarters of an hour passed, an hour passed, two hours passed... The Hejian Inn outside the window was still fine——

The hanging lanterns were bright, and from time to time, groups of patrolling guards passed by.

Other than that, it’s surprisingly quiet, a picture of tranquility over time!

Where's the promised thunder?

What about the explosion?

Princess Lanling no longer stared at the post house, but leaned her head on the armchair and took a nap.

She had not had a good rest since setting off from the Divine Capital. In addition, she was frightened and sleepless tonight, making her very sleepy.

Wang You, Sima, the chief secretary, etc. kept exchanging glances, and then stared at Zhou Ji's office with questions in their eyes.

On the surface, Zhou Ji's office looks concerned, with an expression of "I'm not lying", but in fact he is very entangled in his heart. He wants the post house to explode, but he doesn't want the post house to explode...

As for the military and literary consultants, their faces were no longer pale. They kept making eye contact, eager to try to break the silence that had lasted for two full hours.

Suddenly, "Qiulan", the princess's personal maid, the prince's personal guard, and the princess's personal bodyguard, Qiu Dianjun, whispered:
"Princess be careful."

The silence was broken.

Everyone turned their heads to look in unison.

It turned out that when Princess Lanling leaned on the chair with her head tilted to take a nap, she was careless and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Qiu Dianjun quickly helped her up.

After this incident, the princess regained consciousness.

She raised her beautiful face with beautiful eyebrows and phoenix eyes, swept across the officials, and finally looked out the window at the post house that was still in good condition.

"Eh!"

Princess Lanling sighed softly, rubbing her forehead with her hand, looking slightly tired.

Qiu Dianjun and Dong Dianjun were busy, squeezing shoulders and serving tea and water.

At this time, Wen Weng saw the opportunity and stepped out to pay homage: "Your Highness, two full hours have passed. However, the post house is still in good condition, with nothing unusual."

"It can be seen from this that Zhou Ji's room is false and malicious to deceive His Highness."

He glanced sideways at Zhou Ji's office, then glanced at Sima and other colleagues, and said: "At the same time, all colleagues will be prevented from rest, and we will spend two full hours here!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Lanling stared at Zhou Ji's office, her eyes scrutinizing.

Sima, Wang You and other subordinate officials also nodded slowly, then looked at Zhou Ji's office, waiting for his explanation.

Wen Liang was very satisfied with this situation. He turned to look at the princess and said loudly, "Your Highness, please punish Zhou Ji's office for making false statements, so as to serve as a warning to others!"

"Your Royal Highness, please punish Zhou Ji's office for making false statements, and serve as a warning to others!" The military advisor came out to second the proposal.

"..."

Princess Lanling pondered for a while, then stared at the Zhou Ji room again, her eyes turned cold.

However, just as she was about to speak, there was a sudden loud bang from the opposite side.

It was earth-shattering, like thunder pouring down, and the wooden floor beneath my feet was shaking.

At the same time, through the wide open window of the box, one could see a large ball of fire rising from the depths of the post house diagonally opposite, mixed with earth and wood chips, and soaring straight into the sky!
This is?

Princess Lanling stood up and her sleepiness disappeared instantly.

Her phoenix eyes were wide open, and the flames in the distance flickered, reflecting her astonished, shocked, frightened, and extremely gloomy pretty face.

All the officials looked out the window, and their expressions suddenly became very exciting.

Before anyone could react, a second loud noise rang out one after another. It was from another part of the post house, and a large ball of fire was also rising up, covered with soil and sawdust and flying...

Then there was a third loud noise, then a fourth loud noise... Finally, the rumbling loud noises were like dense raindrops, connected together, one after another.

The inn opposite is surrounded by a sea of ​​thunder and fire, like a purgatory on earth!
Faced with this situation, even though Princess Lanling was noble, calm and resourceful, she could not help but take a step back silently with her heart beating like thunder at this moment.

The post house really exploded...

If Zhou Ji's office hadn't arrived and moved out of the post house in advance, she would most likely have been buried in the sea of ​​fire, and even her body would have been left intact, just like the soil and sawdust that had been thrown away.

As soon as she thought of this, Princess Lanling couldn't help but feel chills all over her body, and broke into a cold sweat.

Wang You, Sima, Chief Secretary and other subordinate officials could stuff an egg into their mouths with their mouths wide open.

It turned out to be true!
Sure enough, there is a divine thunder buried under the post house!

Everything Zhou Jishuo said is true!
They also began to think in their minds that if they had not moved out of the post house in advance this time, they would be afraid... that they would die without a burial place!

Waves of fear hit them, making these high-ranking officials feel chills on their backs and cramps on their foreheads.

The office of Zhou Ji was facing the sea of ​​flames like hell, and the corners of his mouth kept twitching. His heart was very complicated. From the bottom of his heart, he didn't want the post house to be turned into a sea of ​​flames.

As for the two people who consulted on military affairs and literature, their faces were pale again, even paler than before, and big beads of sweat rolled down their foreheads...

There is really a divine thunder buried underground in the post house. It's over, it's over... This is the common sentiment of the two of them.

The two of them quietly stepped aside and began to pretend to be transparent...

The explosion in the post house has left everyone in the box out of their minds.

But this is not over yet.

The explosion in the post house was not over yet, and rumbling sounds were heard from all over the city at the same time, including inns, houses, rivers, and even... city walls!
Tonight, the entire Yingzhou City is in full bloom, like setting off fireworks during the New Year.

On the street in front of the post house, a large group of guards, servants, etc. who escaped from the sea of ​​​​fire gathered. Judging from the number of people, only about one-third escaped.

At this time, the personal guards stationed around the post house by the Qiu Dian Army and the Dong Dian Army gathered one after another, unsheathed their swords, strung their bows, and prepared to protect the princess to the death.

In the box, Princess Lanling quickly calmed down and analyzed: "The thieves destroyed the post house, and there must be a back-up plan... Come, please leave the city quickly and order General Li to lead the army to the city to escort you!"

The [-]-strong army stationed twenty miles outside the city was led by a general whose surname was Li, so he was called General Li.

"The last will obey!"

A well-dressed personal guard took the order and left quickly.

At the same time, another guard hurriedly came in and reported: "Your Highness Princess, the east gate and tower of Yingzhou City have been destroyed, and thousands of thieves are pouring in through the gap to kill here!"
