Li Yunze threw the sweat medicine over, and those people all fell down before they had time to dodge.
But the sound just now still alerted the nearby guards.
Li Yunze saw that those people were coming this way, so he quickly lit the huozhezi and threw it on the oil he poured just now.
In an instant, the entire racecourse was on fire.
Because it hasn't rained here for a long time, the climate is very dry. After a while, the flames reached a high level, burning the sheds with crackling sounds.
When Li Yunze lit the fire, he made Qing Gong leave.
Because the fire was so strong, the guards who arrived did not dare to get close and had to go everywhere to find water to put out the fire.
Although there were more than a dozen wells in the racecourse and a large river nearby, the fire was too great.
By the time they brought the water over, hundreds of stables were almost burned out, and even the little water couldn't put out the raging fire.
They didn't hear the horses braying. They didn't know if they were burned to death or if they ran out.
After Li Yunze and Ye Yutong came out of King Liang's horse farm, they did not dare to stop outside and quickly used Qinggong to rush out of the city.
Ye Yutong lay weakly on his back and pulled his sleeves, "Ping An, stop for a moment. I will bring Brother Tiger out and let him carry us on our way."
"It's okay, don't take anything out, so as not to waste your energy."
Li Yunze was very worried, thinking that she might be exhausted today and he didn't dare to let her use the space anymore.
Ye Yutong is indeed very tired. She just wants to have a good sleep now, but she is afraid of being discovered outside.
She suggested, "Ping An, find a secluded place and let's go to space to rest for a day before leaving."
"good."
As soon as the two entered the space, Ye Yutong fell asleep.
Ye Dafeng and his son were tying the horses on the mountain. They were afraid that they would wake up and destroy things. They had fixed wooden stakes on the mountain a few days ago.
They were shocked when they saw the two people suddenly coming in and Ye Yutong fainted.
Ye Dafeng asked nervously: "Ping An, what's wrong with Tongtong?"
Before Li Yunze had time to explain, he said to the three of them: "Brother, hurry up and pull out the biggest ginseng. Second brother, go to the basement to get an old hen and make a soup with ginseng for Tongtong to drink."
"Okay, we'll go right away."
Li Yunze then said to Ye Dafeng: "Father-in-law, Tongtong is tired. I will take her back to her room first and let her have a good sleep. I will talk to you in detail later."
Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Ye Dafeng took his daughter over and said distressedly:
"I'm holding Tongtong, you go and wash up. Eat something later and go to sleep for a while. During this time, you have been busy traveling without much rest. You two have suffered a lot."
Li Yunze then wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve. Just now I saw Tongtong's face turned pale, which frightened him too.
Ye Mingxuan pulled out the largest ginseng and picked a piece of purple Ganoderma lucidum that turned black.
When he returned to the small courtyard, Ye Mingzhe had already chopped the chicken and put it into the pot.
Ye Mingxuan saw that his eyes were red, and he knew that he had been scared to tears just now.
"It's okay, my brother-in-law said, my sister is just tired, just rest for a few days, don't worry."
Ye Mingzhe didn't say anything. He washed and sliced the ginseng, broke off some Ganoderma lucidum and put it in the pot, and started to stew the chicken soup.
During this free time, I cooked a large bowl of tomato and egg noodles for my brother-in-law.
Li Yunze first washed Ye Yutong's face and hands with well water, and then fed her some water before going to wash up.
When he came out of the bathroom, there was a bowl of noodles on the table, with poached eggs and a large chicken leg lying on it.
Ye Mingzhe came out of the kitchen and said, "Brother-in-law, eat quickly and go to sleep when you are full."
"Thank you, second brother."
Li Yunze asked while eating: "Second brother, have father-in-law and eldest brother gone to the mountain?"
"Dad and my eldest brother went to tie the horses on the mountain. We were afraid that they would wake up and destroy the crops. We ordered a lot of wooden stakes on the mountain a few days ago, just for the horses."
Ye Mingzhe sat opposite him and continued to chatter, "Dad just said that you don't have to worry about the work here. Let you and your sister have a good rest. When you two are well, he and his eldest brother will drive you back in a carriage."
Li Yunze was very moved after hearing this, "Second brother, I'm fine, I just made Tongtong tired."
"Why are you okay? I see that you have lost weight in the past few days. I will cook you some delicious food in the past two days to help you two replenish your bodies."
Li Yunze knew that his family cared about him and Tongtong, so he didn't refute his second brother's words and nodded with a smile.
Prince Liang's Mansion
Jinxiu shook the sleeping Li Yuzhu and said, "Miss, miss, wake up, something happened."
Li Yuzhu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up, "What happened?"
"Miss, the racecourse is in trouble."
"What did you say? The racecourse is in trouble? Where are the horses?" Li Yuzhu's sharp voice sounded in the room.
Jinxiu lowered his head, not daring to say that all the horses were gone.
Li Yuzhu quickly put on her clothes, took her riding crop, and went to the front yard with a gloomy expression.
Liang Wang and Li Yunrui also got the news and came out of the house in shock.
King Liang was so distressed that he almost fainted. That was ten thousand horses.
He spent a lot of money to buy it from a dealer in the Western Regions over the past two years.
Now everything was burned down overnight, including the horse stuff, and he was bleeding with heartache.
Li Yunrui also looked very ugly. Without those horses, their path to rebellion would be much more difficult.
Li Yuzhu had already had someone lead the horse. She said to Prince Liang, "Father, don't be too anxious. Let me and my second brother go over and see what's going on."
King Liang warned: "Bring more troops and be careful on the road."
"I understand, Father."
The brother and sister, with seventy or eighty guards, hurried towards the racecourse.
When they arrived, the entire horse farm was burned to the ground, and even the houses inside were burned into ruins.
The guard who was putting out the fire shivered with fright when he saw the two men arriving, and then knelt on the ground to apologize.
Li Yunrui pointed at the guard commander and said through gritted teeth: "Tell me, what is going on?"
"Second Young Master, a master came into the racecourse at night. He should be the one who started the fire.
By the time we found out, the fire had already started and oil was poured on the shed. It was too late for us to put it out. "
The guard commander did not dare to hide anything and explained everything in detail.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Li Yunrui raised the knife, and with a click, the head of the guard leader rolled to the ground.
Everyone kneeling on the ground did not dare to breathe, fearing that it would be their turn next.
Li Yunrui glanced at the people kneeling there, and asked Li Yuzhu with a stern face, "Third sister, do you think those two boys did this?"
Li Yuzhu looked at the ruins in front of him and said grimly: "Second brother, we were wrong. What King Xia wants is not purple lingzhi, but to destroy our horse farm."
She thought for a moment and then suddenly said: "No, even if there is a fire, what about the horses here?"
The brother and sister looked at each other and rode towards the ruins.
The damage here is very serious, even the grass and trees near the racecourse have been burned, although it is difficult to see any traces.
But they knew that the horse was definitely not burned to death. It should have been taken away.
But where could so many horses be taken?
Li Yuzhu immediately ordered, "Jinxiu, immediately send people to guard all the gates of the Western Capital City. No one is allowed to enter or leave. I don't believe it. There are so many horses. How can they get out of the city if they don't go through the city gates?"
"Yes, miss."
Li Yunrui suddenly said: "Third sister, do you think those two young men are really King Xia's people? What are the benefits of doing this?
He has the same purpose as us. The target of the attack should be the capital now. Why would he come to snatch our horse? Aren't you afraid that we will go back in revenge? "
Li Yunrui shook his head and said firmly: "I don't think King Xia is that stupid. He probably didn't do this. We fell into the trap this time."
