Chapter 760: Lighting fires everywhere

The fire on Jiang Goudan's side was also under control. Looking back, the fire in Wu Laoliu's yard was actually extinguished. Everyone found it incredible.

"There is a lot of water on the ground. This...where does this come from?" Someone quickly discovered something was wrong.

Where did they get so much water just now? Throwing it into the fire has no effect at all, it is quickly burned to dryness.

At this time, the fire on Jiang Goudan's side was also extinguished, leaving a few people standing guard in the yard. They also came to see the situation on Wu Laoliu's side.

Shen Qingqian followed behind Li Laosan, looking curious.

When Mrs. Liang saw her, she quickly pulled her away and whispered: "Where did you go just now? It's so dangerous tonight, don't run around!"

"I'm going to help fetch water. Don't worry, mother, I will protect myself." Shen Qingqian said with a wink.

Everyone in the family now knows that she is learning martial arts from Cheng San, but they all think that she is just learning martial arts on a whim, and no one takes it seriously.

At this time, Mrs. Liang didn't have much to say, she just held Shen Qingqian and Shen Zhe's hands without letting go.

Wu Laoliu and others walked around the yard several times, but still didn't see anything.

"It's strange. Why does it feel like someone helped us put out the fire? But there are no traces on the ground."

"And why did that person leave without saying a word after helping him?"

"No, think about it. We were all at the well just now and didn't see anyone else fetching water. So where did the water for him to put out the fire come from?"

This last question points directly to the soul, and no one can answer it.

"Mom, I'm so sleepy." Someone's child shouted.

Everyone was confused, but it was a good thing that the fire was extinguished. Everyone quickly started moving again, settling the people whose houses were burned down first, and waiting for the rest tomorrow.

However, what Shen Qingqian and the others never expected was that tonight's fire was not an accident. It was not just them who suffered, but everyone within a hundred kilometers of the semi-arc surrounding the North City Gate suffered.

At this time, numerous fire reports were being sent to Liang Cheng in the camp five miles outside the north gate of Hubei City.

At the same time, the small team sent out to investigate the news also rushed into the military camp.

"Meet the enemy, meet the enemy! The barbarians are coming!" they shouted all the way.

Liang Cheng stood up suddenly and looked at Shengze, "Your Highness..."

"Uncle Liang, just do what we said before. The fires everywhere tonight are probably their work. I will let others deal with it." Shengze said calmly.

Because they had known this would happen for a long time, they had made a lot of preparations in the past few days, but they did not expect them to come so quickly.

I really didn't expect that the tribes outside the customs would spend so much energy this time, letting people sneak into northern Hubei and light fires everywhere. I guess it was just to disturb the morale of the military and the people, right?

It's a pity... They will soon know that the northern Hubei of today is no longer the northern Hubei of the past.

Shengze did not go to the front line with Liang Cheng tonight. Instead, after seeing the news that Huanxiyuan was on fire, he ordered a small group of troops to go to Xiaonantun.

…

It was impossible for Shen Qingqian to sleep again tonight. Leaving aside what the system provided, the fire tonight was really weird.

Not long after she lay down, she suddenly turned over and got up again.

Shen Qingqian didn't know if his inference was correct, but the fire tonight was obviously set intentionally.

First, they set fire to Wu Laoliu's yard, which was the easiest to burn. When the fire was out of control and everyone's attention was drawn, they set fire to Huanxi Yard and Jiang Goudan's yard. The purpose was to burn all three yards at once. Lose.

But why?

Shen Qingqian knew the answer quickly.

In Huanxi Courtyard, not long after everyone had settled down, screams came from Jiang Goudan's yard.

"Killing people! Help, help!"
