Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 276 Strange Fire

That night, in the middle of the night, the post house where the Dayuan delegation was staying caught fire. The Kyoto water dragon team quickly dispatched, and the officers and soldiers of the patrol patrol nearby also arrived quickly, leaving the post house in chaos.

People from the Dashu Mission who lived next door got up to watch the fun.

Everyone finally felt a little more balanced.

This time it was finally Dayuan's turn.

Shangguan Beiqing also left the room and frowned at the fire in the front yard.

This fire came from a strange place.

Suddenly, a man in black jumped down from the high wall, his figure was as light as a swallow, and came straight towards him.

Shangguan Beiqing's nerves immediately tightened, his energy was restrained, and his hands began to accumulate strength.

Unexpectedly, the man came to him quickly and said softly: "Master Gu asked me to come."

Then handed him a letter, turned around and left, blending into the night.

He comes like the wind and goes without a shadow. He is a master. He should be Mo Yu next to Gu Zhouting.

"Sang Zhi, Sang Zhi..."

Reguna's voice came from the courtyard gate.

Shangguan Beiqing quickly hid the letter and turned to look at Reguna.

Reguna said: "Sang Zhi, please leave with me quickly. It's windy tonight and I'm afraid the fire will spread to you."

Shangguan Beiqing said: "The fire has become smaller."

"For safety reasons, the fire has become smaller now, but there is no guarantee that it will rekindle when the wind blows."

Reguna couldn't help but pulled Sang Zhi out of the yard.

A quarter of an hour later, the fire was finally suppressed by the combined efforts of all parties.

The angry Tudor was furious at the Lord Honglu Temple and the Prime Minister of Dali Temple who came in a hurry and wore their official hats crookedly.

The two adults apologized one after another and took all the responsibility before the water dragon team could find out the cause of the fire.

Since the disastrous defeat in Gubei, their bones have become weak when facing the Dayuan people.

Until the captain of the water dragon team came and said that the cause of the fire had been found out. The fire started in the kitchen. The fire started on the stove. It should be that the cook failed to extinguish the stove fire. Then the kitchen window was wide open. It was windy tonight. So a fire started.

Well, it turns out it's their own responsibility.

The master of Honglu Temple immediately stiffened up and said sadly: "Why were you so careless? Fortunately, we only burned down the kitchen. If the fire started in the backyard, the consequences would be disastrous."

Tuduo suppressed his anger until his face turned red. He was just about to scold Daqi people for being despicable, and deliberately set a fire to affect the rest of the women's Cuju team, in order to affect the state of the women's Cuju team's competition.

As a result, the cause of the fire was found out before the words could be said.

"Is that true?" Tudor questioned.

Otherwise, why did the fire break out at this time?

The captain of the Water Dragon Team said sternly: "That's true. If the Sixth Prince doesn't believe it, he can go check it out for himself."

He spoke so firmly that Tudor had no choice but to accept the loss of being mute.

Afterwards, Reguna went to see Tudor.

"Has the cause of the fire been found out?"

Tudor said depressedly: "It is said that the fire in the kitchen was not extinguished, the windows and doors were not closed, and the wind tonight caused it, but I just suspect that it was the Daqi people."

Reguna asked: "What did the cook say?"

"Don't mention the damn cook. Ask him and he won't be able to tell you anything."

"Tudor, I think it may have been an accident caused by negligence. If the people of Daqi want to cause trouble, they should do it during the men's team finals. After all, that game is what Daqi wants to win the most."

Tudor groaned, who knows what the truth is, anyway, he doesn't believe the Daqi people.

Daqi people are the most cunning.

Shangguan Beiqing has returned to his room.

When I opened the letter, I saw it read: On the third day of the twelfth lunar month of the Gengwu Year, you gave a letter to your father, but do you still remember who sent the letter? Please remember carefully, it is very important. We will wait for you to inform you on the competition day.

No signature. But Shangguan Beiqing knew at a glance that this question was asked by Nan Zhi.

Because only Nan Zhi knows the specific time and the letter.

Could it be that this letter is related to the fiasco of Gubei?

Shangguan Beiqing put the letter, envelope and letter paper against the candle and lit it.

Then, I came to the window and looked at the moonlight and thought about it seriously.

At that time, he didn't pay much attention to the letter. When the guard delivering the letter met him, he was about to go find his father, so he asked the guard to hand the letter to him. He only glanced at the envelope.

It's been so long that my memory has become blurry.

Shangguan Beiqing kept thinking about that scene.

Gu Zhouting was currently listening to Mo Yu talk about the fire in the posthouse where the Dayuan delegation was staying.

This is really God's help. Mo Yu took advantage of the chaos and successfully delivered the letter to Bei Qing.

"The loss to the posthouse isn't big, right?"

Mo Yu said: "I stayed nearby for a while, and the fire was quickly suppressed. I heard that the fire started in the kitchen."

Gu Zhouting nodded, that's good, otherwise Tudor would definitely suspect that Daqi people set the fire deliberately, and they would speculate on Daqi with the greatest malice.

Now I hope Bei Qing can remember something and provide useful clues.

The next day, the emperor received a request from the Dayuan mission to postpone the competition for two days. Because the fire frightened the members of the women's Cuju team and they needed to calm down.

The emperor agreed without hesitation.

If he doesn't agree, Dayeon will have an excuse if he loses the game.

But as soon as the game was postponed, Uncle Ning couldn't sit still.

An unexpected situation occurred that day, so that the information he gave Shen Jingshan could not be sent out. He also hoped that the competition would be held as scheduled and the information would be sent out smoothly so that he could leave Daqi early.

Because their plans were in perfect harmony, including the time to lay the poison and the time to urge the poison.

The heart-eating Gu should not stay dormant for too long.

Unexpectedly, a fire disrupted their plans.

The time left for them to evacuate changed from half a month to thirteen days.

For thirteen days, they could not return to Shu even if they worked hard.

Uncle Ning Huang felt sad in his heart.

He could only comfort himself that there was no way Daqi would find out that their emperor's death was related to Lingxi.

After Ji Yunchen got the news, he immediately came to see Gu Zhouding.

"Gu Zhouting, tell me the truth, was it you who set the fire last night?"

In fact, the two previous thefts in Dashu were all caused by Gu Zhouting sending Mo Yu. With a criminal record, more than once, Ji Yunchen would of course be suspicious of Gu Zhouting.

Gu Zhouting frowned: "Why should I set a fire when everything is fine?"

Ji Yunchen was dubious: "Are you sure you didn't set the fire?"

"It's not me. The Water Dragon Team has already concluded that this was an accident."

"Okay then." Ji Yunchen also felt that Gu Zhouting had no reason to set a fire. What was he trying to do?

"By the way, I'm here to tell you some good news. Jiang Bochong and the others have agreed to my plan. They have 30,000 soldiers and horses. I will pick half of them and they will allocate half. We only need to wait for the women's Cuju team to finish the competition to form the Huben camp. ." Ji Yunchen said cheerfully.

Those old guys were too difficult to deal with and were always at odds with each other. Fortunately, they finally reached a consensus.

Gu Zhou paused and muttered: "Congratulations, you will soon be the commander-in-chief of Huben Camp."

This matter is also extremely important, related to Da Qi's safety and his subsequent layout.

"Since you brought good news, I also have good news."

Gu Zhou stopped and handed over a secret letter.

"The insider who was previously placed at Lu Yiming's place has obtained evidence that Lu Yiming has colluded with Dayuan for many years, and that they used the heads of ordinary people to claim military merit."

After Ji Yunchen read it, he was very angry: "Lu Yiming is a thief, thanks to me trusting him so much, he actually did such an unscrupulous thing."
