Chapter 41: The Great Fire

Now the emperor is carrying out the eastern expedition with the whole country, and the war materials needed for the eastern expedition are mainly transported by the Grand Canal that runs through the north and south. Therefore, the safety of the Grand Canal is the top priority. The governments and Yingyang Mansions along the Grand Canal must ensure the safety of the Grand Canal and ensure the safety of all ships transporting materials to the northern battlefields. Those who fail to ensure safety will be severely punished.

Yuan An knew that he was finished, all his hopes were shattered, and all his ideals and ambitions were burned by this ruthless fire. What is even more desperate is that his head may not be saved. If the fire was a fleet carrying giant trees to Zhuojun and caused irreparable losses, then let alone his head, everyone in Xiating will land tonight.

Put out the fire, put out the fire quickly, put out the fire is to save your life.

"Put the fire, put out the fire..." Yuan An screamed in despair and ran wildly.

Xiating is a small castle with only one main street connecting the city gate and the pier. At this moment, people are rushing on the street, and everyone is panicking and running towards the city gate. The city gate is slowly opening, the suspension bridge is slowly lowering, and the Yingyang guards in the city rushed out without waiting for the city gate to be fully opened.

Yuan An rushed up the city tower, and the scene in front of him made him lose his soul. The only remaining lucky thing was shattered in an instant. He knew that he was dead and the head of his neck would definitely not be able to be saved.

The fleet carrying giant trees on the channel has been swallowed by the rolling flames. The fire roars with the wind. However, the surrounding ships were not too late to escape because the channels were narrow and tightly connected, and they were instantly swept into the fire. The fire became more and more prosperous and spread faster and faster. It is estimated that in a moment it will rush to the embankment on both sides of the shore, endangering the safety of the entire Xiating.

The incident happened suddenly, late at night, the fire was too big, and Xiating was a border gate with few people. He was caught off guard and was unable to put out the fire. The only thing he could do was to urgently evacuate the ships on the canal and evacuate the people on both sides of the strait, striving to minimize the losses. However, just as people were panic and frightened, a sudden change occurred.

In the chaos, a team of men in white suddenly appeared outside Xiating City. They were wearing white clothes, covered with white scarves, and holding swords, guns and sticks in their hands, and rushed into the city with great momentum.

Gongcao, who was stationed in Xia Ting in the county government, happened to rush out of the city to put out the fire with a group of slaughtermen. The two teams collided head-on. The Gongcao may have been used to being arrogant and domineering in daily life, or he was blinded and unable to see clearly. He instinctively raised his hand to point at a white-haired masked man who was strode to the meteor, and scolded him sternly. Unexpectedly, just as he opened his mouth, he had not made a sound, and before he could make a sound, he saw a long and bright sword falling from the sky.

With a "puff" sound, the head exited the body and blood ejected.

"Kill!" the white-haired masked person screamed wildly.

"Kill!" A group of men in white swarmed up, raising swords and guns at the same time, killing bloodyly, and there was no longer any survivor in the blink of an eye.

Yuan An stood on the city tower and witnessed this amazing scene. His mind suddenly became blank. The strong sense of suffocation made him smell the breath of death. There were thieves and treacherous thieves. Today's disaster was caused by the thieves. He wanted to run away, but his legs were as heavy as a pound, and it was difficult to move. He wanted to shout, but the Yingyang Guards were all putting out fires outside the city, and there were no soldiers in the city. It was a fact that Xia Ting's fall was a fact, and it was a waste of shouting.

Yuan An was desperate and looked at the man in white who was killing the city tower at a loss, and looked at the bloody sword that was coming, and did not dodge or dodge. He had lost the will to survive, and the God of Destiny sent him ruthlessly to hell. Death was only a matter of time. Even if he escaped the killing of the traitor today, he would still be taken to the execution ground tomorrow and beheaded with a knife.

It's OK to die, it's over. Yuan An suddenly felt a sense of relief. He turned his eyes to the canal covered by flames, the fire that was devouring the dams on both sides of the shore, the ships struggling in the fire and the innocent people crying, and the Yingyang Guardian who was doing his best to evacuate the crowd and organize firefighting. A rare smile appeared on his face, and the deafening roar in his ears suddenly disappeared in this moment.

Xu Shisan's blade stopped on Yuan An's neck, and the hilt hit his head hard. Yuan An snorted in pain and fainted immediately. Xu Shisan grabbed his clothes and carried it on his shoulders, and rushed down like a flying brother who had cleared the enemy of the city tower.

Li Fengyun stood on the long street, standing with a knife. The surrounding corpses were in disarray and blood was everywhere. The brothers of the Fengyun team were in groups of three or five, attacking the office, capturing the warehouse, and running around and calling for killing.

Xu Shisan threw Yuan An in the pool of blood, "Lu Zheng, this is Xia Ting's Li Zheng."

"You know?"

Xu Shisan nodded slightly, "His name is Yuan An, he is the young master's friend. He is generous and righteous, helping the poor and helping the poor, and is quite famous in this area."

Li Fengyun did not speak. When introducing Xia Ting's situation, neither Mr. Chen San nor Lu Mingxing mentioned this person. It can be seen that this person is a friend to a wealthy man like Xu Shiji, and an enemy to the thieves on both sides of Tongjiqu. However, since Xu Shisan let this person go, Li Fengyun certainly couldn't make up for another knife, so he waved his hand and signaled Xu Shisan to wake him up.

Xu Shisan squatted down, reached out to slap Yuan An on the face a few times, and soon woke Yuan An up. Yuan An opened his eyes and saw a familiar face first, but the severe pain on his head and despair in his heart made him feel emotionally unconscious and he had no intention of looking for this face in his memory.

"Yuan Lizheng, I'm from Lihu." Xu Shisan asked in a low voice, "Do you still remember me?"

Lihu's? Lihu's Xu family? Henan shipping giant Xu Shiqi? Yuan An immediately thought of the identity of the person in front of him, the dead man who always followed Xu Shiqi. Could it be Xu Shiqi's cause to rob Xia Ting tonight? Yuan An instantly denied this absurd idea, but Xu Shiqi's power was all over the black and white. Since his dead man participated in the robbery tonight, the robber must be a powerful thief with extraordinary power. He immediately realized that his life might be saved. Since the thief was related to Xu Shiqi, and Xu Shiqi's dead man knew him and knew that he had a good relationship with Xu Shiqi. Then as long as he took the initiative to "cooperate" the thief to rob Xia Ting, his life might be kept. But what should he do? Where to go? Should he be a thief?

Yuan An's thoughts were heard and his whole thoughts were gone. Xu Shisan asked again. Yuan An nodded slowly and said with difficulty, "Remember."

"Do you want to survive?" Xu Shisan asked again.

Yuan An was in pain and almost burst into tears. What's the point of living like this and living a life of silence?

Without waiting for Yuan An to answer, Xu Shisan pulled him up, pointed at Li Fengyun and said to him, "This is our coach. The one who burns the white horse is our coach."

Yuan An knew about the fire of the white horse. Xia Ting was on the Tongji Canal waterway and was well-informed. The story about the White Horse Robbery has been widely circulated. There are various versions, but in each version there are white-haired prisoners, a white-haired demon from the northern border. He killed people like slaughtering dogs, and was unbearable and unbearable. White-haired? This man is indeed white-haired. Could this young man be the legendary white-haired demon?

Yuan An was still in shock. Before he could see carefully, Li Fengyun suddenly rushed up, jammed his neck, lifted him out of thin air, and shouted loudly, "I want to rob Xia Ting, and to loot Xia Ting."

Yuan An was shocked and suffocated. His instinct to survive made him nod desperately, only asking the white-haired demon to surround his life.

"Can you follow a certain?"

Yuan Anwei nodded. He became a thief by this point, but this is also his only chance to survive, and there is no other way to go.

Li Fengyun threw him into a pool of blood, "beat the drum, call the police, recall Yingyangwei, and kill them all."

"Transfer the order, the left and right teams enter the city from the east gate, ambush on the wings of the south city, and surround the Yingyangwei."

At the Xiating Pass, drums sounded like thunder, tearing the night sky burning in the fire and alarming the crowds who were rushing to escape on the embankments on both sides of the shore.

Everyone looked up and was shocked.

The big flag floating above the pass disappeared, representing the flag of the Central Plains Sui Dynasty disappeared, replaced by a white leopard head and swallowtail flag. A group of people in white were cheering on the city tower, and there was a disheveled head on the long spear and spear in their hands.

The truth is revealed. It turned out that it was the thief who ignited the ship and caused a huge fire. However, the fire was too big. It not only burned all ships of all sizes on the channel, but also swept all the governments and Yingyang Mansions on both sides of the channel, pushing them into the abyss of death.

It is unbearable. The Yingyang Mansion team stationed in Xia Ting was about to break up, and immediately ordered to go into the city and cut off all the thieves' heads.

The Yingyang Guards, who were organizing firefighting, turned around and rushed to the gate. A large group of indignant merchants, guards, boatmen and sailors followed closely, gritting their teeth and vowing to swallow the thieves who set fire and robbery alive.

The Yingyang guards ran quickly, and the team deputy rushed to catch up with the team leader and shouted at him, "The thief should not underestimate the enemy. You should call the police in Yongcheng quickly and ask for support."

The team's eyes were red and murderous intent, and they couldn't listen at all. They were just a group of small thieves who dared to seize my pass and become enemies with me. Today, they would kill them all to vent their hatred.

The team deputy was helpless and urgently called the scout in the team and ordered him to rush to the post station to grab a fast horse and gallop in Yongcheng to call the police. The scout had just turned around and the team deputy stopped him again. The thief planned carefully and must have considered the police at the post station to call the police. He must have been prepared. The post station was very likely to have fallen into the hands of the post station. In order to ensure safety, the team deputy ordered the scout to find a small boat to cross the channel and go south to Yongcheng along the west bank of the channel to call the police. Be sure to obtain support as quickly as possible.

The thief in white was very arrogant. Seeing the Yingyang guard running back, he not only did not pull up the suspension bridge and close the city gate, but instead took the initiative to go out of the city to fight.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the sound of killing was shocking.

There were more than a dozen white-clothed thieves who went out of the city to fight, fierce and powerful, with orderly offense and defense. After a few encounters, Yingyang Guard not only did not defeat them, but was cut down by two of them by the opponent.

The Yingyang Guards, who are usually arrogant, are panting, sweating profusely, and are disorganized in offense and defense. They are negligent in training at first sight and are vulnerable. China and Earth have been unified for twenty years. Although there have been constant border wars, the country enjoys peace and recuperation. The Yingyang Guards responsible for the domestic towns and garrisons do not fight for wars all year round and have been perfunctory in training. The result can be imagined.

The team was timid. He ate a lot of oil and water, was fat and strong. After running, he had no strength. Now he saw that the thief was tough and his subordinates could not support him, so he began to want to retreat.

At this moment, the thief in white turned around and ran away.

The thief is just a thief, just a bluff, and dares to be an enemy of my Yingyang? The team is just thinking without thinking, holding up the sword with a high voice, shouting wildly, "Kill! Kill in! Kill all the people!"
