Looking at the burning fire in front of him, Bai Shier was only in one mood at this time.

sigh.

This is the first time he has seen such a spectacular fire.

Compared to Bai Shier who was still leisurely and sighing, Peng Zhenlei and others were still running back and forth between the woods and the fire, in order to add fire to the fire in front of them that was lit on the ruins of the Taoist temple, so that the flames were higher and higher, and they were noticed by people from Quanzhou Prefecture, about twenty miles away.

Because this fire can be regarded as their fire of life.

This fire is naturally the second method proposed by Bai Shier.

Santai Mountain is already at a high terrain. If the sky is ignited again, in the dark night, as long as the fire is large enough, it will definitely be noticed by people in Quanzhou Prefecture City.

Although the Taoist temple was burned clean by that fire, it was impossible to really turn everything into ashes. So much wood left behind a lot of charcoal that could still burn.

With these charcoal as fire-driven objects, it is obviously not difficult to ignite a large fire in a short time, especially when it is only ten feet away from the Taoist temple, there is a lush forest.

Although it is impossible to cut off the tree directly with the knife they carried to cut people, it is not difficult to cut down those not-so-thick branches. In addition, there are many dead branches and dead trees in the forest. Before the sun sets, a fire of about three feet in diameter finally ignited a sky-high fire.

Moreover, in addition to letting the people in Quanzhou City notice the situation here, this big fire has another advantage, that is, the light emitted by the huge flames will dispel the darkness around them and minimize the situation when Mu Yixing and his subordinates touched them while they were touched by the night.

"Okay, OK, the flame is already high enough, don't be busy anymore, let's take a break first."

Bai Shier looked at Peng Zhenlei and others who were still joining forces to cut down branches and dragged them back in the woods, and finally couldn't help but speak out to stop them.

"Zheng Yixiang in the city is not sure whether she will come after seeing the flames, but Mu Yixing's assassins, the Dead Soldiers will definitely come after seeing the flames. If you spend all your energy on cutting down trees, wait until the assassins and Dead Soldiers arrive, do you still have the strength to deal with it?"

Seeing Peng Zhenlei seemingly unmoved, Bai Shier had to persuade him quickly.

"Tou Peng, Brother Bai is right."

Ye Bi, who had been tired of being half-dead by this boring tree cutting, dragging branches, etc., saw Peng Zhenlei thinking, quickly persuaded him, and at the same time he did not forget to show his eyes to the Tie brothers and sisters beside him.

Unfortunately, the Tie brothers and sisters didn't know if they didn't see his eyes, or if they felt that the more important thing at the moment was to keep the fire burning, and they didn't have the intention to express themselves at all.

"As such a big flame, people in the city can definitely see it as long as they are not blind. The rest depends on whether Zheng Yixiang will decide to bring people to investigate the situation after receiving the news. If he finally decides not to bring people, it will be useless even if you lit the entire mountain."

Bai Shier, who knew Peng Zhenlei's thoughts, seemed to be hesitating and looked helpless when he saw that Peng Zhenlei seemed to be hesitating.

"Besides, even if Zheng Yixiang really decides to bring people to investigate the situation, it will take at least an hour to get here from the city. In other words, if the assassins and the dead soldiers touched them now, we have to hold on for at least an hour. If you don't stop and recover your energy now, can you hold on for so long after waiting?"

Bai Shier said as he looked at Peng Zhenlei up and down, as if he was suspicious of Peng Zhenlei's "endurance power".

"Maybe I will be unable to take care of myself at that time. Don't expect me to share the burden for you at that time."

Hearing Bai Shier's advice from Fanfan, Peng Zhenlei finally stopped and turned around without saying a word to the flames.

The cold night in late spring is still cold, especially in the mountains. I was worried before, so I only focused on cutting down and picking up branches. Now, as soon as I sat down, Peng Zhenlei discovered that his clothes were already wet with the moisture in the cold night air.

At this time, I sat next to the fire and felt a sense of warmth. As the fire continued to bake, the moisture in the wet clothes was constantly forced out, and the white mist that rose up made Peng Zhenlei and the other two look like they were gods from afar.

Unfortunately, their tired expressions ruined this atmosphere.

...

"What should we do now?"

Shortly after Peng Zhenlei and the other two were persuaded by Bai Shier, they finally sat next to the fire, and in the woods where they cut down and picked up branches, two figures in dark night clothes appeared in the woods.

They naturally received a reminder from the unlucky guy who was unfortunately captured by Bai Shier alive, so they escaped from the Tianyan Sect's original address in advance.

"What else can I do? Of course, I will monitor their every move first. When that guy Ding Maoer led the four generals, Shen Xing, Zhao Da, Guo Can, and Wang Qing, and the queen of the people, they touched them and smashed them into pieces."

"Well, with this big fire that soared into the sky, do the four generals still need guidance from Ding Maoer?"

"Nonsense, if there is no guidance, what if the four generals hit me directly?"

"If we bump into it, we will run into it. The three of us saw that they had to escape because they were outnumbered. When the four generals came with their men, they were several times smaller than them. Are we still afraid that they would not succeed?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."

It seemed that he felt that the other party was right, but he didn't want to admit it and surrendered, so the other person immediately changed the subject.

"What do you think they lit this fire because? Is it because of water sending a message to their accomplices?"

"It's certain that the message was sent, otherwise they would ignite such a big fire if they were crazy."

"Will we be in danger? If we are attacking them, their accomplices will arrive and attack them on both sides..."

"Bah, crow's mouth, you can't say something nice, why are you thinking about cursing us?"

"Why am I cursing us? I'm just for our safety. Military arts say that we should be defeated before we can win..."

"Okay, I know how many books you have read, so don't need to slap the sour text in front of me. Ding Maoer is probably coming back soon. They have just lit a fire. How much time do you think the four generals and nearly thirty good men can take to deal with these seven thieves? When their accomplices arrive, we have already killed them and taken away all the treasures."

“That’s true.”

...

While the two Tianyan Sect members in the woods were watching the figures beside the fire and chatting there to "relieve boredom", Zheng Yixiang had already brought out the city gate with the elite Jinyiwei team that had quickly assembled.

After weighing the pros and cons, he finally decided to block it and rush to Santai Mountain to investigate the situation.

However, before setting off, he found the people from the East Factory and ordered them to immediately take all the officials to guard the city gates after he led his men out of the city, and would never allow any fly that attempted to escape from the city in the dark.

The Dongchang men who were originally worried that Zheng Yixiang would hand over Fang Ritu to his order this time, after hearing Zheng Yixiang's order, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even patted the order with his chest to ensure that he would follow the order without any reluctance.

Many times, it is easy for people to compromise and satisfy.

Just like, a person originally didn't want to agree to chisel a window, but if the other party put on an attitude of tearing a house, he would immediately lower his expectations and agree to chisel the window.

Zheng Yixiang and his twenty elite soldiers of the Jinyiwei rode the twenty horses he recruited with the Jinyiwei's hundred household tokens and headed straight for Mount Santai.

Although in this mountainous and southern Quanzhou Prefecture, even in the city of the city, it was impossible to find so many good horses in a hurry, even twenty horses were enough.

After all, Santai Mountain is not far from Quanzhou Prefecture City.

...

In Santai Mountain.

Next to the fire, which has become the most conspicuous sign of the dark night, is silent all around, except for the sound of wood burning from time to time.

Peng Zhenlei and others, who were so tired before, were sitting next to the fire, closing their eyes to rest and rest, resting.

The worries Bai Shier mentioned before made them afraid of being careless.

Although Zhu Jinxuan wanted to speak up and say something to Bai Shier, her identity was special. When there was an outsider on her side, she couldn't speak, so as not to make mistakes and reveal her identity.

With the Dongchang already knowing her identity and the Jinyiwei is likely to have known her identity, she really does not want her and Bai Shier to make her situation worse due to her identity issues.

"Ahem."

However, Zhu Jinxuan was able to withstand loneliness, but Bai Shier seemed to be unable to withstand this dull and silent atmosphere.

"If Zheng Yixiang and the others really come to rescue us, then how do you calculate these treasures? Will you also have a share of them?"

Peng Zhenlei, who had not even opened his eyes, finally couldn't help but open his eyes after hearing this, and it was not the kind of slowly opening it, but suddenly widened and looked at Bai Shier.

"Bai, Bai, Brother Bai, what do you mean?"

Ye Bi, who had just spoken out, couldn't help but ask, but he didn't know that he had been roasted for too long, so he was a little dry-mouthed. He still heard the meaning behind Bai Shier's words and stuttered nervously.

"That's what you mean."

Bai Shier smiled, nodded affirmatively, and replied.

"Bai Xiaoqi, this is the stolen money, it's..."

Peng Zhenlei finally couldn't sit still after hearing Bai Shier's answer, and couldn't help but speak, with dissatisfaction and a faint anger in his voice.

"So what, so what."

However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted unceremoniously by Bai Shier.

"Ha, according to your wishes, may you still want to hand over these treasures?"

Bai Shier sneered, raised his eyebrows and asked.

"If so, then who do you want to hand it over to? The magistrate of Quanzhou?"

"This is the boundary of Quanzhou, so it is naturally handed over to the Quanzhou Prefect."

Peng Zhenlei had vaguely guessed what Bai Shier meant, but he still replied in a deep voice.

"Captain Peng, depending on your age and official position, you shouldn't have just entered the officialdom anymore, right?"

This time, the ridiculous meaning in Bai Shier's tone was already unblocked.

"We are taking care of you, Quanzhou Prefect dare not..."

Although he was ridiculed by Bai Shier, Peng Zhenlei did not show any anger on his face. On the contrary, he frowned and said with a serious face.

"joke!"

Unfortunately, this time, he was interrupted by Bai Shier without hesitation.

"What's wrong with him? And not only him, Funing Dao, Fujian Provincial Administration, and even Yingtian Prefecture all dared."

Bai Shier said as he stood up, looked around the other four people, and said in a bewitching voice.

"Since those who sit in the court during the day, now lying in the arms of the concubines and enjoying the bastards having nothing to do, can get a lot of money here into their arms, then we have worked hard to find these treasures, now sleeping in the wilderness, and maybe even maybe even to have their lives in them, why don't we divide these first?"

To be honest, even Peng Zhenlei couldn't help but beat violently at this moment.
To be continued...
