Dressed as the regent's palm

Chapter 260 The Fire Burned Hefeng City

Jiu Que has been discussing with several ministers in the study since he received the special message from the Queen of Nanzhao Kingdom.

until--

"Master!" Cen Bin knocked heavily on the door, the voice was in a hurry, as if something big had happened.

"Go and open the door." Jiu Que winked at the minister closest to the door of the study.

The minister quickly replied: "Yes."

The moment the minister opened the door, Cen Bin's face was full of anxiety, and the panic in his eyes was unprecedented, "Master! Something is wrong, the East City is on fire!"

Jiu Que stood up from the chair with a "swipe", and walked in front of Cen Bin in a big stride, his eyes froze slightly, and his thin lips lifted slightly, "When did the fire start?"

"It is estimated that an hour ago, a secret yard was first burned. The yard was covered with things in front, back, left, right, and left, and it was far away from other houses, so no one found it. When the flames are spreading, the flames will be out of control!" Cen Bin said while wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Jiu Que glanced at the ministers, and ordered coldly, "You stay here and continue to discuss countermeasures, I'll go and have a look."

"Yes." The ministers cupped their hands.

……

Before Jiu Que arrived at Dongshi, he saw that the flames were almost licking the clouds in the sky, and the thick smoke was billowing, making the dusk shine like daylight.

The roiling heat wave drove away the winter in Hefeng City.

Jiu Que pursed his lips, his beautiful sword eyebrows slightly raised, "Cen Bin, is anyone trapped in the fire?"

"Returning to the master, I heard that they did not report it, because the courtyard where the fire broke out first was usually unoccupied, and it suddenly caught fire for unknown reasons. When the fire was large, the city's garrison immediately discovered the situation and evacuated the people from house to house. "Cen Bin replied flatly.

Jiu Que nodded, thinking.

The carriage moved forward slowly.

When Jiuque arrived in Dongshi, he saw a crowd of people crowded together, crying and shouting.

The garrison kept them out lest they should rush into the fire to save their belongings.

"Let's go in, this is the savings of our big and small family for decades! If I don't have it, I'd rather be buried in the flames!"

"Brother, please, let us go in, the fire hasn't reached our yard yet!"

"My God! It's a bad year! It's a bad time! Finally, the business has improved a bit, and it's all burned out!"

……

These shrill voices were like needles piercing Jiu Que's heart, and his heart sank little by little.

He opened the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage. Standing in front of the garrison, he asked aloud, "Can you find the cause of the fire?"

The general of the garrison raised his eyes and looked at Jiu Que's handsome face. He was startled for a moment, and then quickly replied: "Regent, the courtyard where the fire broke out was poured up and down. It was a deliberate act." Arson."

The people who were crying and out of breath, when they heard the garrison's "Regent", they all turned their eyes to the person who came.

Here he is wearing a black unicorn dark-pattern robe with fluttering sleeves. His long jet black hair flutters in the wind, his chiseled jaw is slightly raised, his thin lips like rose petals are lightly pursed, and his eyes are filled with It's like a snowstorm.

This person is as good-looking as if he is a fairy.

They hurriedly ran towards Jiu Que.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the garrison directly stopped these dazed people aside, so that the people could not get close to Jiu Que.

"Bold! The regent is here, so don't be presumptuous!"

The garrison yelled softly.

Those people then knelt down on the ground and kowtowed their heads at Jiu Que, "Regent, please make the decision for us! These are all the savings of us little people! Now they are all burned up, don't they just want it?" Are we half-lived?"

"Yes! The Regent asks you to be the master for us!"

The heads of the people slammed heavily on the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Cen Bin, ask them to register the damaged property and the owner of the house, and use the money in my treasury to compensate according to the price after the statistics are completed." Jiu Que ordered in a cold voice.

Cen Bin responded immediately: "Yes."

The people felt incredible when they heard these words. They just came to ask for help out of luck, but they didn't expect that the regent would really agree.

Moreover, the regent's own money was used, not the funds of the treasury!
They were ecstatic, staring at Jiu Que enthusiastically, and kowtowed three more times, "Thank you Regent!"

"Follow me to register." Cen Bin smiled, and he quickly left the fiery place with a large group of people.

Without the pressure from the common people, the defenders all breathed a sigh of relief.

"How are you going to put out the fire?" Jiu Que asked.

"Back to the Regent, we tried water, but it was a drop in the bucket. The fire is too big to be controlled! And the wind is the most feared in winter, and the fire will burn the entire city of Hefeng!"

The general of the garrison replied in a calm manner, without any embellishments.

"Go and dig an isolation zone." Jiu Que gave an order with his thin lips slightly lifted.

"Isolation zone?" The garrison didn't know why.

"Keep the fire within a certain range, dig an isolation zone, and put water in the isolation zone to prevent the fire from spreading." Jiu Que replied very quickly.

"But digging the isolation zone will inevitably destroy the houses of some people..." The general of the garrison hesitated.

"I said compensation according to the price. An isolation belt can save the lives of the entire city of Hefeng." Jiu Que's tone was beyond doubt.

The general of the garrison army raised his eyes and glanced at Jiu Que, only to see that Jiu Que's eyes were full of determination, and the general of the garrison army hurriedly said: "This subordinate will dig the isolation belt!"

The garrison immediately went to implement the plan.

General's House.

"Cough." Qing Yange's face was pale, he was out of breath from coughing, his head was dizzy, and he only felt his throat hurting and smoking.

"Princess, what should I do? The time is getting closer and closer. I heard that there is already a fire over there! I'm afraid that the person who hijacked you is coming soon, but your body shows no signs of improvement, and even worsens. It's serious!" Qing Yuan paced anxiously on the spot.

"Ahem... I, I don't know either." Qing Yange also felt strange, she obviously rested on the bed for a whole day, never left this warm room burnt with silver charcoal, and took medicine on time, but the wind and cold There is no sign of a half recovery at all.

"Mingyue, is there something wrong with your medical skills, or why would the princess be like this?" Qing Yuan hurriedly walked up to Mingyue and asked.

Mingyue shook her head, and replied softly: "The princess has always been strong and strong, maybe she hasn't been sick for a long time, if her body is a little weak, the disease will come back aggressively, this is a problem with the princess's physique."
