On her wedding night, she went into exile with her pharmacy arsenal

Chapter 1689: 4 Fires

The news brought by Li Jingyao confirmed the previous judgment of Military Doctor Cao.

This so-called plague originated outside the Great Wall. It was not a natural disaster, but man-made.

"We are not sure what tribe they are from, but we are sure they are a foreign race. We couldn't understand what they said. We found a vendor who was doing business with them and got some information. Unfortunately, the vendor didn't understand much either."

"They used the water source to poison the livestock of another tribe, making them think it was a punishment from the gods. Then, they killed the livestock in the name of sacrifice. Under the double blow, they suffered heavy losses. Then some people began to instigate and resist, and wars of all kinds continued."

Li Jingyao looked solemn: "This is a vicious series of schemes. Although I don't know what other tricks they have, if this continues, the result should be chaos outside the Great Wall."

Although it is outside the Great Wall, the areas inside and outside the Great Wall are closely related. If there is chaos outside the Great Wall, there will be no peace inside the Great Wall. If they don't want to know, they will definitely find a way. The border cities inside the Great Wall are the first ones they think of. Even if they don't occupy the land, they will rob and kill property and livestock, run away after robbing, and leave after killing, which will make the people panic.

Yan Ruyu looked solemn: "The information you brought back is very important. Do you still remember how that tribe dressed? I'll draw it."

Li Jingyao nodded: "Remember."

"But, the princess just said, where are you going to set the fire?"

Yan Ruyu said: "It is a house, maybe it has something to do with this matter."

Li Jingyao's eyes were slightly stern: "I have been walking along this road with a lot of anger in my heart. It would be better to start a fire first, and then come back to paint."

Yan Ruyu thought about it and it made sense, there was no need to rush.

"Okay, I'll follow the leader."

Li Jingyao asked the abbot for the detailed address and turned away.

Ever since he discovered those abnormalities outside the Great Wall, he has been angry. Those beasts treat human life as worthless. If it weren't for the language barrier and the fact that it is not their own territory, but the complicated relationship that will affect the interior once it is touched, he really wants to kill them all.

Now it's better, at least we can set a fire.

Anyone who can make Yan Ruyu clearly understand that someone can be burned is definitely not a good person.

Li Jingyao brought the necessary items to the designated location.

He remembered what Yan Ruyu said, to burn the front hall, the back yard, but not the garden, and finally the place connected to the Qiu family.

It's a dark and windy night, it's a good time.

The fire was fueled by the wind, and the wind helped the fire. In the blink of an eye, fire broke out in the front hall and the back yard.

There are many people in the front hall, which easily causes noise; there are many things in the back house, so you can see where the important items are placed.

When the front hall became noisy, Li Jingyao retreated to the backyard.

The house is not very big and there are not many people living there, no more than ten in total.

The fire started in the front hall and it took six people to put out the fire.

There was a yard at the back, guarded by two people. Even though there was a big fire in the front yard, the two men remained motionless.

Li Jingyao thought to himself that there must be something fishy going on here.

That’s it.

When the fire started, the two men turned around and saw the fire, their eyes widened and they quickly turned around to put out the fire.

Li Jingyao watched calmly, and suddenly saw someone running towards the gate.

This man is tall and strong, with broad shoulders and a thick back. His waist is slightly narrow, and his long legs are covered with training pants. His solid leg muscles can be seen as he runs.

Li Jingyao couldn't help but sigh in his heart: What a good body for martial arts practice!

His height and frame were natural, but it took time to develop to this level. Li Jingyao had been around the world and had gained countless experiences. He could tell at a glance that this man was definitely a master.

I’m afraid my kung fu is not inferior to his.

When this person entered the yard, the other two were so anxious that they were sweating and said something, but Li Jingyao didn't understand.

It's not that I didn't understand, it's that I didn't hear clearly.

Li Jingyao's heart skipped a beat. Could it be...

The man pushed the two guards aside and went straight into the house regardless of the fire. After a while, he brought out a small box from the house.

In the firelight, the box was black, carved with intricate patterns, and there was an animal head on top.

Li Jingyao raised his hand, wanting to throw out his claws and grab the box, but he thought that there must be some mechanism on the box, and if he tried to snatch it, he would not be able to open it. Not only would it be useless, it would also alert the enemy and he might even suffer fierce revenge from these people.

He was not afraid, but Yan Ruyu said that these people should be related to things outside the Great Wall. If these guys wantonly killed innocent people in the city again, he would become a sinner.

Restraining his impulse, Li Jingyao secretly observed that the big man was turning the box up and down, as if to see if it was damaged.

As Li Jingyao expected, the box seemed to be a whole, with no lock and no way to open it.

After confirming that the box was fine, the big man quickly asked people to put out the fire.

Li Jingyao took the opportunity to leave and go to a place adjacent to the Qiu family.

The Qiu family's house is much bigger. The two houses share a wall with a lush tree on the Qiu family's side. The branches and leaves have grown over here. Going from here to the there is like using a ladder. It is very convenient.

Li Jingyao thought, why not just burn the ladder.

Once things got hot here, the Qiu family soon found out about it, and once the wall was built, the Qiu family also became busy.

In an instant, the sounds of gongs, shouting, and splashing water came together.

Li Jingyao watched the excitement from a safe place for a while and was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly saw a shadow flash in the courtyard of the Qiu Mansion, which looked familiar.

There were too many people and the distance was quite far, so he couldn't see clearly.

When I tried to look again, the person was gone. When I thought about it carefully, it seemed unlikely.

He didn't think any more and turned away.

In the Qiu family courtyard.

Mr. Qiu also rushed over when he heard the noise and saw his son Qiu Keshi directing the fire-fighting efforts.

"Why did it suddenly catch fire?"

Qiu Keshi turned around and said, "Father."

“It has not been found out yet.”

Master Qiu glanced over there and asked: "Was it the fire over there that attracted this fire?"

"I'm not sure yet," Qiu Keshi said in a low voice, "But it should be fine. I can still handle this."

Mr. Qiu nodded: "But we can't be careless. You know what happened on the street today. That thief..."

Qiu Keshi pointed at the fire: "Well, hurry up!"

He turned around and looked at Master Qiu: "Father, come this way."

When the two of them reached a quiet place, Qiu Keshi said, "Father, that guy, just catch him, it's no big deal. They were sent there to steal if they can, and forget it if they can't."

Mr. Qiu was shocked: "What? Did you really send that thief?"

"Yes, what?"

"You are so confused. How can you have such an idea? Or, isn't this going against the Zhennan Palace?"

Qiu Keshi smiled and didn't take it seriously: "I didn't say I was going to do the opposite, I just wanted to take something and see what it is."

"Besides, what if we go against each other?"

"Father, what are you afraid of?"

Master Qiu said anxiously in a low voice, "What are you afraid of? That's the Zhennan Palace, how can it be easy to mess with?"

"Before……"

"Before was before. Today, the Zhennan Palace is an exile in Youcheng. It is no longer the same as before."
