My wife has a secret

Chapter 61: Winter Hider

Not to mention burning them to death, if the fire could not be controlled, it could even engulf half of Suzhou City.

"Goodbye, everyone... eh?"

The man who called himself the Winter Storage Envoy stared blankly at a certain place in the room. The pupils under his mask suddenly contracted, revealing an incredible light.

The stinky kid stuck his head out and saw that there was no movement from the other side. He muttered quietly, "This guy is holding a fire stick. Is he a psychopath? Does he want to torture us for a while longer?"

"Just shut up, you jinx."

Uncle Li wanted to sew the brat's mouth shut. Now was a critical moment involving life and death for everyone, so how could he have the mind to joke?

But the behavior of the person opposite was also strange. It didn’t seem like he was waiting for something, but more like... hesitating?

Ji Xia was frightened when she thought about herself and her young lady being burned to death, but she still tried to get in front of Lu Wanhe and tried to make the latter squeeze into the corner of the brick wall.

"Miss, I...I'll block it in front of you, we are not afraid..."

Faced with such an urgent situation, Lu Wanhe did not have any special feelings.

Instead, she felt that the figure of the Winter Hidden Envoy was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

The black-clad attendant of the White Lotus Sect stepped forward and warned, "Sir, there is too much noise here. The city guards and constables have already gathered here."

"Um……"

In full view of everyone, Dongzangshi closed the lid and extinguished the fire.

"Change of plan, retreat."

Although Shan Yongpei didn't know why the winter envoy changed his mind and didn't burn the group of people to death in the house, he knew very well that he couldn't let these people escape now.

As long as they could tie up the White Lotus members, they could delay the arrival of the city defense and Suzhou Prefecture detectives.

"People from Huangling Pass, take action to stop them. I will lead the charge."

Uncle Li understood Shan Yongpei's idea, turned around and called out to the people behind him, "Show the brothers of the Zhongwu Army next door how the men of the Seventh Banner of our Huangling Army fight."

"Yes!"

When Shan Yongpei untied the golden sword on his back and leaped forward, several border soldiers also rushed forward in groups of three, holding the broken tabletops from the dilapidated houses.

The rain of arrows fired by the White Lotus archers were all blocked outside the wooden boards.

When the distance was shortened, several people quickly dispersed, used the courtyard wall as cover, and stabbed out through the gaps in the fence.

In comparison, Shan Yongpei's martial arts skills seemed extremely powerful.

Relying on his quick eyes and hands as well as his superior martial arts skills, he was able to use the sword energy from the Golden Back Sword to break the rain of arrows.

Afterwards, he was like a free man in an empty space, fighting wildly among the archers of the White Lotus Sect with a knife.

In a moment, people and horses were thrown to the ground, and those who fought with them were chopped into pieces.

"Winter Hider! Stay!"

Dong Zangshi, who was protected by the bandits, looked back at him and turned away.

He led six or seven personal guards toward the pre-designed escape route, but halfway through the journey, he suddenly noticed something and stopped and looked up.

The black-clad guards on both sides stopped at the same time, and one of them asked, "Envoy Dongzang, what's wrong?"

"It's just dawn now, and it's the time when neighbors go out to fetch water and visit their neighbors... Why is this street so empty?"

Dong Zang was startled and suddenly shouted, "There is an ambush!"

The black-clad guard beside him was about to raise his sword when he was shot into a hedgehog by the rain of arrows. The others had no time to react and died on the spot, falling to the ground.

Dong Zang realized that the situation was not favorable for him, so he took out a black mud ball from his lapel and prepared to swallow it to commit suicide by poisoning.

But before he could raise his arm, the wall on one side of the corridor suddenly collapsed, and a large hand suddenly jumped out from the smoke and dust, grabbed his neck and pushed him against the stone wall on the other side.

"cough……"

The huge force of the collision caused Dong Zang's internal organs to rupture and he coughed up blood from his mouth.

He was dizzy and somewhat disoriented.

But from the sporadic footsteps coming by my ears, I could infer that someone was approaching me.

"who is it……"

"Doctor Ning, long time no see."

Hearing this magnetic male throat voice, Dong Zang forced himself to stay calm and looked towards the man walking towards him.

The other person was wearing a brocade robe and a white jade pendant around his waist. He was indeed the young master of the Xu family in his memory.

"Xu Qing..."

Xu Qing came in front of the Winter Storage Envoy, stared at him, and said in a cold voice: "It's me, but how should I address you? Should I call you Doctor Ning, or should I call you Winter Storage Envoy... or should I call you Master Liu?"

The last name made Dongzang’s ears and eyes clear and he recovered his normal state.

He realized that his true identity was exposed, so he stopped resisting and allowed the incredibly strong woman next to him to remove his mask.

This is an extremely ordinary face, a face that is hard to leave an impression on people.

"Let Xiao He check the weapons. Was it your plan?"

Dong Zangshi indirectly admitted his identity. His eyes were filled with ruthlessness as he stared at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing shook his head and said, "I am not as cruel as you White Lotus Sect members, who would kill friends and relatives around me at will... I didn't guess your intentions at first, until I went to visit the lady in my house this morning, and then I vaguely realized that there was something wrong."

Xu Qing didn't think much about it beforehand. Even though he had confirmed through the shoe size that Master Liu was not dead and was the same person as Doctor Ning who was working in the clinic, he didn't think that the White Lotus Society would attack the border troops.

But soon after he walked out of the compound, he suddenly remembered that since the White Lotus Sect wanted to disrupt the political situation, why didn't they make a fuss about the matter of Huangling Pass and the imperial court?

More importantly, Shen had discovered Lu Wanhe's whereabouts just as he set out. It is daring to speculate whether the White Lotus Sect had also learned of this news.

So Xu Qing turned back to the compound halfway and asked Shen to use his power to transfer the Zhennan Zhongwu Army and Mingzhu to his own use.

"You shot yourself in the foot by not finding out in advance who the lady who was traveling with the Xu family was."

Upon hearing this, Dong Zangshi burst out laughing and nodded with a look of relief on his face.

"Yes, I didn't plan well. I thought you and Xiao He had a cold relationship, so you would never send her to do this... Oh, what a pity. If it was Shen, Qin, or you, I would have won."

The Winter Zang Envoy was not joking.

Suzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of the houses are made of fir wood.

His original idea was to burn down half of the city with this raging fire, and then let the White Lotus Sect gain momentum among the refugees outside the city, so that he could capture the city without any effort.

To this end, he made detailed deployment and planning for every step of his action, just waiting for the fire to start.

But what Dong Zangshi did not expect was that the only person who could not be killed in the entire Suzhou city appeared in that yard.
