Lu Yun realized that the woman in front of him should be one of the shadow guards. If he guessed correctly, she was the shadow guard master he sent to Zhou Zhengtian!
"What happened? Why was there such a big fire?"
The woman hurriedly replied, "Eunuch Lu, it was Xu Shanbao who did it."
“Because of what happened during the day today, he held a grudge in his heart, and he kept pretending to be stupid during the day, as if he didn’t know anything.
As a result, at night, while others were sleeping, many soldiers in the general camp were killed, and Zhou Zhengtian was also killed. "
"Xu Shanbao knew that he could not defeat the imperial army, so he took his men and defected to Marquis Wenxin, and at the same time, he also set fire to burn down the entire Liyue City!"
Hearing these words, Lu Yun trembled for a while. This is simply a devil. You are fighting among yourself. Why do you want to kill all these people?
Why burn down the entire city?
The sky was also slightly bright at this moment, not because of the flames, but because the sunrise was about to come.
This fire, I don’t know when it will stop.
Standing at such a long distance, Lu Yun could see the flames flying so high.
The entire city seemed to have become a city of flames, with innocent corpses and wreckage everywhere.
Thinking of this scene, Lu Yun felt terrible.
At this moment, he suddenly regretted why he came up with such a move. It would be better to kill Xu Shanbao directly.
The trick of subduing the enemy without fighting was indeed very good. He successfully captured Liyue City without wasting any troops, but at what cost.
The price is that this demon has taken a butcher's knife against ordinary people.
What did they do wrong?
"Damn Xu Shanbao, wait for me, I will definitely cut you into pieces!"
"We didn't expect this. I can guess that they may fight among themselves! They may fight among themselves, and they may try their best to kill each other.
But I really didn't expect that there would be such a cruel scene. "
"Xu Shanbao, aren't you afraid of being cast aside by the world?"
On the side, Shangguan Yan said sadly, "Eunuch Lu, for a desperado like him, the last thing he cares about is his own reputation."
"He has killed so many people, and he can't control so many. But this kind of person has his own destiny."
"But, Eunuch Lu, the flames are so big, I'm afraid there won't be many people left in the city, and we can't get in at all. There's a fire burning on the city walls."
"This thick smoke has drifted to our side."
"what to do?"
Lu Yun was stunned, because he knew that such a heavy flame was of no use at all.
We can only wait for the flames to burn these things in the city, or...
There was a heavy rain coming down.
"We can only pray that the rain will fall."
In this way, many soldiers were awakened by the thick smoke and the loud noise outside.
So, Lu Yun ordered them to rest immediately and go outside the city to take a look.
In this way, Lu Yun set off first, leading many generals to the vicinity of Liyue City.
As soon as they approached this place, which was about a hundred meters away from Moon City, they could feel a powerful heat wave blowing on their cheeks.
Even standing far away, Lu Yun could feel sweat pouring down his back.
Only at this moment did he realize how fierce the fire was!
The entire Liyue City is so big, if everything was burning, it would be a sea of fire and purgatory.
After thinking about it, Lu Yun directly asked someone to open the city gate and walked in.
In an instant, they saw clearly the situation in the city. It was almost as expected. It was a sea of fire like purgatory.
The entire street was burned to ashes on both sides, and there were still fires in some places.
This is not the flame caused by war, but the deliberate ignition of fire, murder and arson.
Lu Yun was silent at this moment. He didn't know what to say. He only knew that Xu Shanbao must be killed.
He obviously has the ability to kill the opponent, but he just wanted to watch the show more, so it became like this.
"Send someone to search inside the city. Take a look at the situation. Don't get hurt. After all, the fire is still burning and the fire is still strong."
"Yes, Eunuch Lu."
…
In this way, after passing by for a full two hours, the fire was still burning. The entire city was on fire and it was impossible to save it.
They didn't know how long this fire would last.
However, at this moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds and lightning.
Seeing this scene, they finally saw a glimmer of light. It was going to rain. When the rain came, the fire would stop.
The city is so big, there will always be people who survive.
This heavy rain was like tears shed by God. It came quickly. After a while, there was lightning and thunder nearby, and the heavy rain poured down.
The heavy rain continued for several hours, and the flames had long been extinguished, but... there was a burning smell in the air.
Even with the washing of rain, the burning smell still existed, which still made people very uncomfortable, and various burnt corpses appeared in the city.
Of course, there are people who survived...many of them are children.
"Oh, what a sin!"
Lu Yun sighed, feeling helpless.
"Send a letter to the imperial court and ask the treasury to allocate money to rebuild your home as soon as possible."
"Tell the ministers in the court what happened in Liyue City as soon as possible, and tell the world. We must let the world know what kind of evil thief Xu Shanbao is."
"yes."
Soon, in the palace.
Liang Jing and other ministers all learned the news, and they were very happy at first.
You know, the rebellious four southeastern provinces were eliminated in this way, and now only one Marquis Wenxin is left.
Moreover, the imperial court did not suffer any big losses. I thought that a lot of troops would be lost when fighting Zhou Zhengtian.
Unexpectedly, Lu Yun used his own ingenuity to directly make the other party fight among themselves and doubt each other, and thus successfully captured the city.
But... the scene that happened in the end also made them all feel guilty.
"Your Majesty, the people and property of Liyue City have suffered a lot."
"Especially, nearly 60% of the people died in this fire, all set by this guy Xu Shanbao!"
"Your Majesty, this thief is truly abominable!"
"What Eunuch Lu means is that he will attack Marquis Wenxin as soon as possible, but he also hopes that we can allocate money as soon as possible to help these people in the city."
"Such a good city was destroyed."
Liang Jing was shaking with anger. Sitting on the dragon bed, she was very angry. With anger in her eyes, she yelled loudly.
"I want to issue a proclamation to attack Marquis Wenxin and Xu Shanbao!"
"I have been the emperor for so long, and I have never heard of anyone actually wanting to capture all the people, or using such a cruel method. This is intolerable to heaven and earth."
