Chapter 297: A Fire

The raging flames lit up half of the night sky, and the intensity of the fire was beyond everyone's expectations. Standing anywhere in Jicheng, you could see the fire that lit up half of the sky. Vibrate for it.

The whole city was boiling. Amid the din of people, horseshoes rumbled, horns sounded, and the army finally dispatched. Only this time, what they held in their hands were not knives and guns, but tools to put out the fire.

Zhou Yuan stood on the high place of Taiwei's mansion, saw the blazing fire, drew his knife angrily, and chopped all the things around him into pieces. Beside him, Zhou Yu's face was serious.

Ning Mansion, Ning Zecheng was also looking at the big fire. After a while, he shook his head, and after a while, he shook his head again. Then he turned and went back to the room, took off his casual clothes, and put on court clothes. After a stick of incense, he had already appeared On the way to the palace.

Tan Feng and Ning Xin stood by the window, looking at the red clouds in the sky. Behind them, several strings of the guzheng had been broken, and it was hanging powerlessly on the ground. The expression on Tan Feng's face was extremely complicated. .

This fire was set by Gao Yuan. Before he set the fire, he was already facing a desperate situation. Those who came to assassinate him were not ordinary people, but a group of well-trained and tenacious guys. Ge killed assassins who were several times their number, but did not make the opponent feel timid or retreat, and the attack became more ferocious.

Two of the four Fufeng soldiers fell down again. The infantry's arrows shot empty again, and the longbow became a display. He was injured again. This time, he was stabbed heavily in the calf. Gao Yuan was also bruised. The leader of the team, the guy who looks exactly like Ye Zhong in stature and accent, is extremely skilled, and is also very good at close combat.

"County Lieutenant, leave us alone, you go out, you go out alone, they can't stop you." The infantryman sat on the ground, his face was deformed by the huge pain in his leg, he looked at the other two bloody The dripping old soldier said loudly: "We will cut off the queen for the county lieutenant."

"I can't go!" Gao Yuan shook his head resolutely, "Besides, I can't leave you guys behind. If you really want to die, it's better to die in battle with your brothers than to be killed while fleeing in panic many."

"County officer, with your skills, you will definitely escape. After you escape, you will avenge us!" The infantry grabbed Gao Yuan's clothes and listened to the sound outside, "They are coming again, county officer , let's go!"

Gao Yuan shook his head. He is not pedantic, but he knows that he can't go. The opponent's main target is him. This time, the design is so thorough and so many people are mobilized. Gao Yuan believes that the opponent must have considered various possibilities, including his own possibility of breaking through. And go. Maybe, when I break out of the encirclement, it's the time when everyone's entire army is wiped out.

The infantryman didn't speak any more. Seeing Gao Yuan's expression, he knew that Gao Yuan had made the final decision. He stood up with one foot on the ground, holding a knife, "Unexpectedly, we didn't die on the battlefield, we didn't If you die in the hands of the enemy, you will die in the plot of the villain, so let's pull a few more backs."

The faces of the few people in the room were miserable, the knives in their hands were chopped off, and next, they were going to make a final fight.

The killers outside seemed not to care about hiding their traces at all, they even lit a few torches, and listening to the sound of the torches burning, Gao Yuan frowned tightly, and suddenly a flash appeared in his mind His eyes lit up slowly.

From the silk and satin shop that they broke into at the beginning, they rushed all the way and passed through more than a dozen houses. There is a common feature here, that is, the houses are next to each other, and some even share the same wall. Most of them are made of wooden structures. He looked around, "Tie Xuan, go and see if there is something like grease, Ding Wei, go and see if there is any water storage tank in this room."

"Yes, county lieutenant!" Two bruised guards braced themselves, looking for what Gao Yuan needed.

"County lieutenant, are you going to set fire?" the infantryman looked at Gao Yuan and said.

"Yes, set fire, infantry, have you ever thought that these assassins have been fighting with us for so long, but they have been charging hard. If they set fire, they could force us out, but they didn't, this is Because the houses on this street are densely packed and most of them are made of wood, the fire will be uncontrollable once it rises, so they dare not let it go, because they are not ordinary assassins, they have scruples in their hearts, this is the royal city, they dare not set fire casually. The main envoy cannot bear the responsibility of causing a fire in the royal city."

The infantryman laughed, "We don't have such scruples. They want to kill us, so let's set this fire. The hotter the fire, the better. Even if the old men go to the palace of Hades, they will be overwhelmed." , pay the price.”

"No, I don't intend to die yet, we want to use this fire to escape."

"Escape?" The infantryman was surprised and delighted, "How did you escape?"

"The bigger the fire, the better. The fire will threaten us, but it will also block the pursuers for us. As long as there is chaos, we will have a chance to escape." Gao Yuan's eyes sparkled.

"Where are we going?" asked the infantryman, "It's the prime minister who wants to kill us this time, and I'm afraid there will be danger everywhere outside. Shall we flee back to Ningfu?"

Gao Yuan took a long breath, "There is something strange about this matter, now in Jicheng, no matter whether it is Ye Tiannan, Ning Zecheng, or even Zhou Yuan, we can trust none of them. If there is a chance to escape , we fled to Jingfang, remember the place Tianci told you? He has a foothold there.”

"After arriving in Jicheng, Tianci didn't live with us. Where did he go?"

"Yes, he has some other things to do, so he has been staying in Jingfang. Let's go somewhere first, and then seek escape, leave Jicheng, as long as we leave here, we will let the fish swim in the sea and the birds in the sky flew."

"County officer!" Tie Xuan trotted back carrying a big bucket, "We are lucky, this is a grocery store, there is a lot of grease in the back."

"Pour!" Gao Yuan waved his hand.

Without saying a word, Tie Xuan picked up the bucket in his hand, and poured the oil inside on the door, window, and wall. At this moment, Ding Wei also ran back, "The county captain found a water store Big tank."

"Jump in and get your body wet." Holding up the infantry, Gao Yuan walked to the back. In a room that seemed to be a kitchen, there was a large water tank filled with water. He grabbed the infantry, and without saying anything, Gao Yuan put He pressed it. The infantry let out an involuntary scream.

Grabbing the infantryman from the tank, Gao Yuan also jumped in, soaked himself, jumped out, tore off a piece of his clothes, and covered his mouth and nose. Tie Xuan and Ding Wei did the same.

"Take care of the infantry!" Gao Yuan gave an order, and walked forward again with his back bent.

The arrows started to shoot outside again, and the dense rain of arrows passed through the latticework, and pierced into the wall of the house with a loud sound.

"County Lieutenant, Flint!" Behind him, Ding Wei raised his hand and threw the Flint, Gao Yuan grabbed it, a smirk flashed from the corner of his mouth, he clasped his hands together, and there were a few clicks, sparks flashed and splashed on the grease on the door panel, Suddenly, a small flame ignited.

Lie down on the ground, grab something casually, ignite it on top of the flames, and then throw it to the place where the grease was poured.

The flames rose, the smoke became thicker and thicker, Gao Yuan lay on the ground, holding the saber tightly.

On the street, there were many corpses, and Zhou Kang was panting heavily. He knew that Gao Yuan was very powerful, because someone had warned him, and he was fully prepared, but he did not expect that Gao Yuan was so powerful. At this point, he has already paid several times the price of the opponent, but still has not killed the main target.

Zhou Kang, the leader who presided over this assassination, is an important figure under Zhou Yuan's command, but he rarely appears in public. He is responsible for doing some shameful things for the Taiwei. This time, he It is Ye Zhong.

The few scars on his body made Zhou Kang a little frightened. During the chaotic battle, he fought Gao Yuan several times. If he hadn't been alert, he would have died on the ground. The heavy casualties did not make him have the slightest intention to retreat. Gao Yuan must Death, that's what the Taiwei explained. If he doesn't die, it will cause too many problems, and it may even be a political storm in the country of Yan. Zhou Kang knows why the Taiwei wants him to pretend to be Ye Zhong.

But Ye Tiannan is not a person who is willing to sit and wait for death, and there is a fatal problem in this seemingly flawless plan, that is, if Gao Yuan does not die, then everything he does will be in vain, and the Taiwei will get a terrible enemy.

Gao Yuan must die!

Zhou Kang touched the injured area lightly. Fortunately, the opponent is no longer able to survive. The next attack will be the last one. This time, he will be the first to attack.

He suddenly smelled a different smell, it wasn't the smell of blood, but a smell of burnt. Then, in the light of the torch, he saw the rising smoke. Finally, he saw A stream of flames rose from where Gao Yuan was hiding.

The fire started so fiercely, just a few small flames, in the blink of an eye, a wall of fire was formed in his eyes.

Zhou Kang was stunned at first, and then he came to his senses. Looking at the closely connected houses on the street, his head exploded with a bang.

"Rush in!" he roared loudly, holding a knife, rushing towards the opponent's house like the wind.

The fire was already raging, but Zhou Kang didn't care about all of this, he jumped into the wall of fire, and in that instant, he already understood what the other party wanted to do.

Zhou Kang couldn't imagine what the result would be if the fire was allowed to ignite. They cleaned up all the residents on this section of the road just for this assassination, but this section of distance is limited. The fire Once it burns, this street will cease to exist, and the more terrible consequence is that the fire will spread to the outside. Because this is not a natural fire, but arson.

Inside the house, Tie Xuan and Ding Wei were carrying a grease bucket each, and supporting the infantry with the other hand, and they were retreating towards one wall. hole, entered the next door, and a moment later, another place ignited a raging fire.

Zhou Kang rushed in, but he just rushed in. He didn't expect that behind the blazing wall of fire, amidst the scorching flames, there was a person holding back the smoke and lying on the ground waiting for him.

Zhou Kang jumped in, and the moment he passed through the fire wall, there was a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. He lowered his head in astonishment, and saw Gao Yuan who was lying on the ground, Gao Yuan was looking at him with a smirk, and blood was coming from his hole. It flowed out from the weapon above the opponent's lower abdomen.

"How did the blood flow so fast?" This was Zhou Kang's last thought, and then he fell into the fire. (To be continued.
