【two hundred and twenty-fifth chapters】The fire burns the Protectorate
The masked man was still in shock and could not calm down for a long time.
He was stunned for a while before he remembered what Qian Hui called the girl just now.
Mrs. Shao? He murmured softly, his eyes flashed, remembering the girl's identity.
This woman is the wife of Cao He, the youngest son of the King of Punishment? The famous Jiangnan dancer Shao Yan?
The masked man's heart once again stirred up storm.
He had heard of what happened in the Protectorate's Mansion. He also knew that Cao He's wife had an unparalleled beauty, which made Deng Qing so fascinated that she was fooled by her.
He looked down on Shao Yan, but now when he saw him, he realized why Deng Qing was fascinated by her, so he did not discover Shao Xiaolangjun's true identity, and even let them get rid of their most capable confidant.
This woman not only has a pretty similar beauty, but also has a smart and extremely intelligent appearance.
She was able to completely hide her powerful martial arts without revealing a trace. She was able to stay by someone who was suspicious and thoughtful for more than a month, which proved that she was very good at plotting against her heart.
The girl flattened the wrinkles on the hem of her clothes and asked lightly: "Has the fire in the chrysanthemum garden been extinguished?"
Qian Hui immediately responded: "According to Mrs. Shao's instructions, it has been extinguished in time."
The girl nodded gently, then turned to look at the suppressed masked man on the ground, with a cold face and a cold look: "Li Jian."
The masked man was shocked. After hearing her call, his head was raised up quickly and his eyes looked at him.
She slowly bent down, pinched the scarf on the masked man's face with her white and clean fingers, and then pulled it off with a little force.
Li Jian had a wide face and a high forehead. He had a foot-long scar on his jaw, which spread to his neck. His entire face was smoothed out by the wind and sand on the battlefield, showing his vicissitudes of life. When his eyes gathered, he looked particularly fierce and terrifying when his expression was tight.
Out of respect, the girl squatted down halfway and looked at the middle-aged soldier: "Do you know that what you do tonight will put the entire border town in danger?"
Li Jian struggled for a while, his eyes were bloodshot, and he spat at the girl with disdain, "Just. How could the fire of the Protectorate's Mansion cause the entire border town to fall into danger? This is just the private residence of the Protector General."
The girl sneered: "Private residence? Li Jian, you have been in Changming's army for several years. Are you still not sure about Deng Qing's habits? He hid all military information and needs in Qinglu. If these are destroyed, will the border county defenses not be in chaos?"
Li Jian's face froze and he turned his mind: "No. I have arranged everything. The current Protectorate is just an ordinary residence of a general. Don't talk nonsense anymore!"
The girl moved gently, as if the beauty of the world was following her, and every move was full of grace and beauty. But such a beautiful girl had a dark face at this moment, without any gentleness in her usual days.
Her eyes were tightly fixed and she glared at Li Jian angrily and said, "You have confirmed it yourself? Are you very sure that the Protectorate's Office does not have any important military information?"
Li Jian's words were insulted in his throat, and he widened his eyes and looked at her.
After a moment of hesitation, he still looked like he was unrepentant: "Even if I didn't confirm it myself, I can still be sure! This mansion is worthless."
The girl was too lazy to say something to him, turned her head and looked at Qian Hui, then reached out and pointed out outside the door.
Qian Hui was stunned for a moment before he understood what she meant.
So he personally started to suppress Li Jian firmly and pushed him outward.
Li Jian staggered a few steps, feeling embarrassed and kept struggling under Qian Hui.
The guards pushed open the door of the house and walked out.
The open space in front of the Qingluju courtyard was filled with wooden boxes of all sizes, and there were a wide variety of them, like a hill.
Li Jian looked into his eyes and his mood that had just calmed down was ups and downs again.
This yard is filled with sinking wooden boxes for all kinds of military supplies.
The lid of the box was wide open, and he could see clearly what was placed inside.
Qian Hui forced Li Jian to walk around the yard and then circled back to the corridor.
The girl in the room walked out slowly and walked to Li Jian. She asked in a cold voice: "This is what you said... Kong Mansion? This is the valuelessness in your heart? Do you know that in the past six months, Deng Qing has almost saved all the military needs of the entire city defense of the border city to the Protectorate's Mansion?"
Li Jian's face was pale and silenced. He wanted to open his mouth to refute something, but found that he could not refute it.
Immediately afterwards, the girl sneered in his ear: "Let me guess, someone must have told you. He will persuade Deng Qing to transfer all the military secrets and hide them in the Changming Army's camp, and will never affect the military defense of the border city?"
Li Jian looked at her with a look of surprise. His head, which had just been high, was gradually lowering at this moment.
The girl looked disappointed and stood in front of Li Jian, sighing: "Mr. Li. General Li."
Li Jian trembled.
It has been a long time since no one has called him General.
He is now just a small Qu Junhou and is not qualified to be called a general. It is ridiculous to be sad that he has been in the middle of his life and ends up like this.
At this point, he realized that the revenge he had prepared for half a year was just a chess game in the hands of others.
Zhou Qi has been using him from beginning to end.
Why stand up for him?
What is the purpose of public power to eliminate villains and treacherous officials?
None of the promises and the indignant words are true.
He looked at the charming girl in front of him in frustration, waiting for her to say the following.
Jiang Chengjia took a deep breath and looked solemn: "You have also been a person who fought for the entire Wei Dynasty. Why can you only think of your own hatred and be deceived in this way?"
Fraud?
Li Jian smiled bitterly.
From what she said, he felt that he was extremely stupid.
Four years ago, he was instigated by Deng Yueyu and was eager to lead the troops to attack the Huns, almost making a big mistake.
Four years later, it was still used by people, intending to burn the Protectorate's Mansion and destroy the hope of the entire border town in the sea of fire.
Li Jian understood that if this fire tonight would be really ignited by his hands.
Then all the military supplies hidden in the Protectorate's Mansion will be destroyed and the Changming army and even the border city army defenses that have lost their supplies will be slaughtered like fish on the chopping board.
Li Jian remained silent, and the only remaining light lost in his dark eyes and became extremely decayed.
Seeing his situation, Jiang Chengjia shook his head helplessly and told Qian Hui lightly: "Take him down. Take him well. Don't treat him badly."
Qian Hui was ordered and immediately shouted: "Here."
Then he asked someone to arrest Li Jian.
He watched Li Jian disappear in the mansion before turning around and looking at Jiang Chengjia: "My lady...we are now?"
Jiang Chengjia looked dark and said calmly: "Everything will follow the plan of the king. Let everyone take the remaining military supplies in the mansion out of the Protectorate."
Qian Hui clasped his fists with his hands and respectfully said: "Here, I'll make arrangements."
He ran up in a small step and ran outside the screen wall of Qingluju.
Jiang Chengjia looked at the military computers piled up in the yard, her pupils turned slightly, and after a moment of thinking, she left the mansion with everyone.
After one stick of incense, the people in the Protectorate's Mansion were removed.
The candlelight still swaying in the yard gave birth to a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere.
Qian Hui and his group protected Jiang Chengjia and quietly flipped out from the back wall of the Protectorate Mansion.
Behind the high wall is a dense forest, and the depths are pitch black.
The military supplies placed in the courtyard of Qingluju were temporarily placed here.
Jiang Chengjia watched the last box of military supplies move out of the small door in the backyard, and waited for everyone to hide in the deep forest. She immediately ordered the guards who were already waiting around the mansion and holding torches, "Set the fire!"
The soldiers who received the girl's order immediately threw the torch in their hands into the high wall and quickly left the place where they were standing.
The houses in the Protectorate were sprinkled with strong wine and sulfur.
The torch entered the fence and ignited a raging fire with the blowing east wind.
I saw the sea of fire ignited on the side wall, and the sky was flowing with crazy waves of fire one after another, as if I wanted to swallow the sky as well.
The eaves and houses of the Mansion were stained with fire and burned rapidly. The flames curled up and rushed straight out of the Mansion's door like a whirlwind.
The forest next to the Protectorate's Mansion soon felt the burning spirit coming from the wall, causing the people hiding deep in the forest to take a few steps back in fear.
Qian Hui was shocked at the fire in front of him, and was also a little scared. He glanced at the girl standing in front of him, and saw that the woman had no fear and horror on her face, staring at the flames in front of her, as if she had long been used to such a scene.
A hint of admiration flashed through his heart, silently pressed down the fear in his heart, and stood with her in front of the fire-burning mansion, waiting for the final result.
The east wind blew violently. The fire running everywhere in the Protectorate's Mansion became more and more intense and uncontrollable. The fire ignited the sky for a whole night, swallowing all the water pavilions and towers, leaving only the burnt black and gray.
Jiang Chengjia, Qian Hui and others waited in the forest until the fire burned out and gradually went out. A small group of people rushed from the west side of the woods, and their tense expressions slowed down a little.
The lookout soldiers who were always paying attention to the movements in the suburbs in front of the city gate were running here. When they saw Qian Hui, they immediately knelt down and bowed: "General Qian! There is something wrong with the Hun camp in the suburbs of the city!"
After finishing his words, Jiang Chengjia slowly narrowed his eyes.
Their plan was successful.
In the city, Zhou Yuanmo's fine works were planted, and he took advantage of the night when the Protectorate's Mansion was swallowed by the fire and left the city to report to the Huns secretly.
Ashanda Ding, who received the signal, could no longer hold back his mood and wanted to lead the army to attack the border town before dawn.
Qian Hui's eyes turned to Jiang Chengjia again, eager to get her order.
