The next night, in Weiyang City.
Today during the day, nearly thousands of Japanese pirates sneaked into Weiyang City under the cooperation of several wealthy families.
In order to increase their confidence, several major aristocratic families even bribed the relevant guards and prepared to set fire to several granaries and banks in Weiyang City.
Under the cover of the thick night, barrels of kerosene were opened, and thick black kerosene was poured onto the building.
The short man in black opened the huozi and threw it onto the kerosene.
The flames burst out!
Fueled by kerosene, the flames spread like a tide, covering the entire main body of the building in less than a quarter of an hour!
The bright light was accompanied by the crackling sound of burning, and the watchman on the path was shocked, but before he could shout, a man in black wiped his neck.
After the man in black joined his companions, he babbled some strange words, then dispersed and went to nearby people's homes to start massacring them.
Those people were still asleep and had no idea what was happening. The door to their house was broken open and fifteen men in black rushed in.
Before they could question or scream, the black men rushed over, picked up a strange-shaped narrow knife, and chopped off the heads of the innocent people with one blow.
The killing continued, and the fire became more violent.
But even if these men in black suppressed the spread of the news as much as possible, the bank and the granary were of great importance. When the fire burst into the sky, the people nearby and a little further away also realized that something was wrong, and riots broke out.
Even if the people organize themselves spontaneously, prepare to put out the fire and resist the men in black.
But how could they be the opponents of these men in black?
It was completely a unilateral massacre by the men in black.
Under the operation of several major families, the commander of the city defense army was delayed for a long time in learning the news.
Since Jiang Rongfeng was not there, the city defense army could only organize people to go over first, while notifying Xiao Chen of the matter.
Late at night, Xiao Chen was still asleep.
Xiang Yichun came to the door and knocked on the door "dong dong dong":
"Lord Governor, Lord Governor, something bad is going on!"
Xiao Chen rubbed his eyes, frowned and turned over, then quickly went to open the door.
Xiao Chen's tone was serious: "What happened?"
Xiang Yichun gasped and said: "The commander of the city defense army just sent people over, saying that there were suspected Japanese pirates in black who set fire to the city. Several banks and granaries in the city were damaged!"
"Many couples and ordinary people were massacred by men in black..."
"They didn't know what was going on, but they sent people to stop it!"
"Lord Governor, what should we do?"
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes: "If it's a Japanese pirate, I almost know who is causing the trouble..."
"Xiang Yichun, you will take Lin Yi and others to the city to maintain order, put out fires and save people!"
Xiang Yichun said with worry in his tone: "Lord Governor, what should we do if we have all passed and the defense here in the other courtyard is empty and the Japanese pirates take advantage of it?"
Xiao Chen's eyes were cold: "You go first, I have the ability to protect myself."
He also knew that the recently confiscated property was stored in another courtyard. If the Japanese pirates came here for money, he would definitely be their target.
When the time comes, there will be a fight!
But Xiao Chen is still confident.
He has broken through the seventh level and is already at the level where a hundred people are against a thousand enemies!
Even the mere Japanese pirates were not looked down upon by him.
Xiang Yichun had no choice but to obey Xiao Chen's words and led Lin Yi and others to rescue people and put out the fire.
Although Xiao Chen was confident, he urgently called up the Sixth Princess and others in the other courtyard and asked them to gather in the hall of the inner courtyard to avoid any accidents.
Xiao Chen made arrangements with his front legs, and the sound of killing came from outside his back legs.
His eyes were slightly focused, but he did not check the situation, but stayed here.
The outer courtyard of the other courtyard.
Dozens of black-clad Japanese pirates rushed in and fought with the guards.
The leader was a Japanese pirate wearing an iron mask. He had sharp knife skills and could almost chop melons and vegetables against ordinary guards.
He even said in the half-baked Chu official dialect: "There is a high official living here! There will be countless wealth waiting for us. As long as we capture this place, the future will be very comfortable!"
The black-clothed Japanese pirates next to them became even more energetic when they heard this.
And looking at the current situation, the guards will be slaughtered in a quarter of an hour at most.
There were also guards inside and outside the passage reporting the situation to Xiao Chen.
When the Sixth Princess and others learned that the Japanese pirates were attacking, their expressions became a little panicked.
Zhang Dongyang stroked his beard and looked solemnly: "Lord Governor, Sixth Princess, I believe that those Japanese pirates are only after wealth. If we abandon the wealth and avoid the limelight, we may be able to avoid disaster!"
In fact, Zhang Dongyang can be considered rational.
After all, the lives of everyone present are the most important, and wealth and other things have to be pushed to the back.
Xiao Chen shook his head: "According to what the guards said, there are only a few dozen Japanese pirates. I am still confident that there is no need to just flee."
"Hong Luan, protect them for me..."
"boom!"
The door was pushed open from the outside.
Xiao Chen's eyes changed, and his hands had already touched his waist, ready to unsheath his sword at any time.
But the person who appeared was not a Japanese pirate, but an acquaintance of Xiao Chen.
That is, Qin Changfeng, who had a relationship with Xiang Yichun before and met Xiao Chen a few times.
Xiao Chen's eyes were slightly confused: "What are you doing here?"
Qin Changfeng said coldly: "Those Japanese pirates have already attacked, and I'm here to save you."
Xiao Chen's eyes were strange: "Are you sure?"
"I was indeed wrong before."
Qin Changfeng's face was still cold: "You are a good official, you shouldn't die like this."
Xiao Chen's eyes were a little complicated, and he said: "I don't need to save you, just protect my little beauties!"
Qin Changfeng was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "This is simply unreasonable!"
But he didn't say much, drew out his sword, came to the Sixth Princess and others, and protected them together with Ji Hongluan.
Another slightly awkward male voice sounded outside the door:
"That high-ranking official inside, listen to me!"
"Come out quickly!"
Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold and he walked out of the door quickly.
I saw twenty or thirty Japanese pirates in black standing in the courtyard outside the door, holding knives.
Their blades were still stained with scarlet blood, giving them a vague sense of oppression.
The leader of the iron-faced Japanese pirates stood proudly, looking at Xiao Chen with arrogance in his eyes.
Xiao Chen sneered and asked, "Are you the ones causing trouble in the city?"
"So what?"
The iron-faced Japanese pirate Jiejie smiled strangely: "Kneel down and beg for mercy. If you offer all your belongings, we might consider sparing your life!"
Xiao Chen sneered and said, "Are you having such a sweet dream? You want me to kneel down? Even if you kneel on the ground and kowtow for a hundred times, you will never get out alive!"
