Chapter 802 The Strange Fire
Listening to Zhen Yan telling him such confidential things, Cao Xiu's heart skipped a beat: in Jizhou, he had to learn not to trust anyone around him, even if this person had fought the fire before, he couldn't let Cao Xiu just let it go Treat him as one of your own.

Therefore, Cao Xiu returned with a gloomy face: "Thank you, Patriarch Zhen, for reminding me, but at this time, it is better to put out the fire first."

Zhen Yan was stopped by Cao Xiu's words, and there was no trace of embarrassment on her face.Just looking at Cao Xiu, I couldn't help but feel a little more praise.

At this time, the entire granary was completely enveloped by fire dragons, surrounded by fireworks, and the sound of peeling and peeling was made from time to time.A group of villagers and soldiers panicked and were beaten desperately with brooms and wet hemp. Many of them were accidentally licked by the flames and died in the sea of ​​flames.

When Cao Xiu saw this, he couldn't help but glanced around, and suddenly asked, "Why is there no water in the tank?" He pointed in the direction of a row of large tanks, which he personally inspected yesterday, and they were all filled with water in case of fire. .

Zhen Yan felt embarrassed at this time, and said: "The weather is hot, and many villagers are rough and rough, and they take water to take a shower on the spot, so that after pouring a few buckets of water, the water in the tank is exhausted..."

"Ridiculous!" After Cao Xiu heard this, he couldn't help stomping his feet in rage, and said, "If this was in our Cao family, he would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago!"

However, after saying this, Cao Xiu immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing again: This is the territory of the Zhen family, and it is also the master of the Cao family's "begging". Cao Xiu said in front of the head of the Zhen family that Zhen Everyone in the village should be beheaded, and those unintentional words would naturally make Zhen Yan hear the meaning behind the words.

Sure enough, after hearing this sentence, Zhen Yan's face was very unkind.However, if Cao Xiu observes carefully at this time, he will find that the expression on Zhen Yan's face is not angry at Cao Xiu's nonsense, but shy and fearful because of Cao Xiu's accusation...

But just when Cao Xiu was about to open his mouth to explain to Zhen Yan, a voice like the singing of swallows suddenly sounded, and Cao Xiu couldn't help but be attracted by it.

"Water wells have been dug around the granary. The general can order the old man of the Zhen family to lead the soldiers to fetch water. Although it takes time, no more lives can be lost..."

After Cao Xiu heard this, he slapped himself in the head: At this moment, he was a little dizzy, and he even forgot about the well in Zhen's granary.Can't help but turn around, wanting to thank that person for his reminder.

But when he turned around suddenly, Cao Xiu couldn't move his eyes away.The girl in front of her was about thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was born with a beautiful face, with blue hair and a pretty face, and she still had baby fat that hadn't faded over the years, so people couldn't help but take a second look.A brocade white plain dress outlined her beautiful curves full of girlish slender willows, and a pair of clear water eyes that seemed to reflect the stars and moon in the night sky revealed a calmness that was not commensurate with her age and calm.

Ordinarily, a girl of this age does not have much femininity.More should be the innocence and beauty of the girl, which makes people yearn for it.But the girl in front of me is different. At this time, although she has not fully bloomed yet, it gives people the feeling that it is like a budding epiphyllum in the night, as if people will see the millennium flower at any time. The most beautiful and stunning.

Cao Xiu performed well before, but after the young girl came out, he immediately revealed the inner emptiness of a 16-year-old boy, and asked slightly, "Who are you?"

Before the girl could answer, Zhen Yan said to the girl first: "Little sister, why are you here?"

Hearing Zhen Yan's words, Cao Xiu immediately understood the girl's identity, and couldn't help saying: "So you are Zhen Mi who ranked seventh in Xu Shaoyue's evaluation of Qunfang..."

After saying these words, Cao Xiu suddenly had a good impression of Xu Shao from Runan: Cao Xiu had always sneered at those rankings, thinking that they were just an act of the Xu family trying to gain fame.Especially after Xu Shao listed Ma Chao as the number one young hero of the Han Dynasty, Cao Xiu wanted to find an opportunity to wipe out the Xu family.

But now that he saw Zhen Mi, Cao Xiu felt that Xu Shao should be damned—although this girl does not seem to have a great advantage at the moment, it is obvious that when she grows up, how will she be able to overwhelm the country?On the Qunfang spectrum, she was ranked below Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Jiang Dong Erqiao and others, which really made Cao Xiu feel that Xu Shao was blind.

However, now is really not the time to think about setting things right for Zhen Mi.Cao Xiu tried his best to move his eyes away from Zhen Mi, and looked for Lu Xiang's figure: Even if he didn't need to order the soldiers of his Cao family, he might have automatically fetched water from the well to fight the fire at this time, and the group of idiots under Lu Xiang, Cao Xiu didn't dare to guarantee it......

However, as soon as he turned around, Cao Xiu found that Lu Xiang had rushed behind him with two thousand soldiers at some point.It's just that those people were still wearing armor and steel knives hanging from their waists, and Cao Xiu was furious again: "General Lu, the chaos is settled now, and we only need to fetch water to put out the fire. Let the soldiers wear armor, Do you think they have too much strength?"

Lu Xiang blushed, and ordered the soldiers to take off their armor and weapons and throw them on the ground. There was a constant "crackling" sound on the ground.

"Transport the food first, and then put out the fire!" Cao Xiu gave instructions with a sullen face: Although it might seem preposterous to say this, in fact, he knew that he had already cummed a lot tonight.It's nothing to make an inch of it.

Thanks to Cao Xiu's previous deterrence to Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang also obeyed Cao Xiu, and Zhen Yan cooperated with all his strength.Thousands of people quickly divided their labor into three teams, with the largest number being one pair. Under the command of Zhen Yan's previous firefighting vanguard, they began to risk their lives to carry food and grass.A team went to fetch water to support the fire-fighting villagers, and tried their best to prevent the fire from spreading to other granary houses. The last group, a small number of people, followed Cao Xiu and went straight to the granary that caught fire first: the fire in that granary had been extinguished, and Cao Xiu wanted to know the cause of the fire...

Going back and forth to investigate, Cao Xiu actually probably knew the cause of the fire: According to the villagers who escaped from the fire, the granary that caught fire first might be the mouse that gnawed down the lamp, causing the fire.And because the Lu Xiang soldiers who were in charge of guarding the granary tonight were all stationed in the outer camp, they didn't stop the fire in time and let the fire burn.

On the face of Cao Xiu, he didn't show any doubts about this statement, but he was full of doubts in his heart: If it was a simple accident, why would Lu Xiang order soldiers to station in the outer camp today.And it was Zhen Jiazhuang who discovered the fire first?
But if it was said that someone set the fire on purpose, why didn't the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry who hadn't closed their eyes all night and watched the granary closely find anything suspicious?

However, just when Cao Xiu couldn't stand the heat wave, he saw a strange corpse: beside a copper pillar of a lamp that had been burnt red, the corpse had only slight burns, and it was in a strange way. posture, prostrate on the ground.

This granary was the first place where the fire started. The grain and grass had been burned and the copper pillars of the lamps were all burnt red... Such a temperature and time are enough to burn a human body to charred black!
Cao Xiu remained calm, pretending to be sympathetic to everyone, and asked Zhen Yan, Lu Xiang and others to retreat first, using the smoke as an excuse.After that, he turned over the corpse and saw something that shocked him!
In the arms of that corpse, there was a letter that had been burnt to the point where most of its contents remained: this person used his own body to protect the contents of that letter!

Moreover, what is even more bizarre is that Cao Xiu also discovered that this person was not burned to death while fighting the fire, but was killed by someone with a knife!

Pulling out the letter, Cao Xiu glanced at it briefly, and his face immediately turned pale with fright: At this moment, he finally understood why Lu Xiang stationed soldiers outside the city today, and the fire was burning so strangely. ! …………
