four and a half year old farm family pet

Yuan Bao's expression was solemn, and his heart seemed to be pressed by a heavy stone.

Mihoko was still holding on to her cloak.

She looked down at Mihoko from a high position, looking at Mihoko's grief-stricken and embarrassed look, her eyes were more wary and cold than pitiful.

Does this fire have anything to do with Mihoko?

"Your Highness, can you persuade them to leave this place first?" Suddenly, Li Liren ran to Yuan Bao's side and asked for instructions, "If you stay here, there is danger, and it will delay the fire fighting."

Hearing this, Yuan Bao suppressed all doubts in his mind for the time being and chopped Mihozi unconscious with a hand knife, then signaled Li Liren to send someone to drag her away.

After telling Li Liren to guard Mihozi and other surviving Japanese people, Yuan Bao went to meet Pei Yu.

Yuan Bao and Pei Yu shared the information they gained with each other.

"That means that this fire was set off by someone with ulterior motives." Yuan Bao narrowed his eyes slightly, with fire dancing in his eyes, "Who wants to kill the entire Japanese mission?"

"It's best not to call the thief and catch the thief." Pei Yu tilted his head slightly and looked coldly at the few surviving Japanese people.

The fire was not extinguished until dawn.

Not only the courtyard where the Japanese delegation lived, but also a total of five adjacent courtyards in a row were burned down.

Li Liren retreated with the exhausted officers and soldiers who had put out the fire all night, and brought a new group of officers and soldiers to station at the scene to prevent the people who came to watch the excitement from intruding and disturbing them.

Dali Temple Shaoqing and Jing Zhaoyin also personally led teams to investigate the fire scene and examine the charred corpses in the ruins.

Pei Yu Yuanbao witnessed the whole process of putting out the fire and never left. Therefore, his clothes and skin exposed to the air were stained with a lot of black ash.

"Master, Your Highness, the Japanese princess is awake." Shi Lu came to the two of them and reported, "They are making a noise and want to come to the scene."

Yuan Bao looked at Pei Yu, "I'll go see her."

"Well, I'll stay here and see what the people in Dali Division and Jingzhao Mansion say."

Yuan Bao left in a hurry.The surviving Japanese people were placed in a nearby yard, not far from the ruins of the fire.

Before Yuan Bao could get closer, he heard wailing sounds one after another.

There are a total of 26 people in the Japanese mission, and now only ten people including Mihoko and the maid Yuko have survived.

These ten people all suffered burns to varying degrees. The most severe one was a man whose entire lower body was burned.

Burns and scalds are the most painful of all wounds.

Especially in this cold winter day, because the wound is exposed to the cold air.

Yuan Bao entered the courtyard that served as a temporary medical center and immediately saw Mihoko holding up her red and peeling hands, crying and trying to break through the obstruction of the officers and soldiers.

"Your Highness Princess!" Mihoko knelt down towards Yuan Bao with a plop, "Your Highness Princess, may I ask Keita...younger brother Keita..."

"he died."

Upon hearing this answer, Mihoko fainted in an instant.

The officers and soldiers carried Mihoko back to the house, and Yuanbao followed her into the room. They waited by the bed for nearly a quarter of an hour before Mihoko woke up.

Mihoko kept crying from the moment she opened her eyes, making the whole bed tremble.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault! I should have run to call Brother Keita immediately!"

Yuan Bao had no expression on his face and looked at Mihoko quietly.

When Mihoko's crying gradually subsided, she said, "Do you still remember the whole story of the fire? Can you tell me about it?"

Mihoko immediately nodded heavily, "Last night, after brother Jingtai came back from playing, I had the door locked. After the hour, we all fell asleep."
