"Is it on fire?"
"It's really on fire!"
The voices in the front were full of doubts and disbelief, but the voices in the back were obviously entangled and wandering between reality and illusion.
After all, for them…
What was happening in front of me was really hard to understand.
There is a fire in the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace! Moreover, it is still such a big fire!
Who can believe it
But as the defense of the prince's house, their quality is still very high. Even if they don't want to believe it, they finally react after recognizing the facts.
The guards began to run towards the burning attic.
The maids were responsible for carrying fire and earth to put out the fire. The whole scene seemed a bit noisy, but it was not chaotic.
"Fight the fire, hurry up!"
"Third Captain, take people to the attic immediately and move out everything that can be moved out!"
"yes!"
"The people from the fifth team are responsible for the evacuation! The people from the sixth team are looking for the guests to come and help!"
"I will inform His Highness the Crown Prince now!"
"good!"
Under the command, countless guards also began to act separately, putting out fires, grabbing supplies, and informing others.
Prince Lin Tianrong, who was in the study, also frowned at this time because the sounds outside disturbed him.
Of course…
Most importantly, he could see a ray of red light coming through the crack in the window.
"Fire?" Prince Lin Tianrong was not in a good mood today. It could even be said to be extremely bad. The anger all over his body was suppressed in his chest and had nowhere to vent.
In the past, although the fire would have surprised him, it would not have caused him to show any anger.
But today, he was angry!
This fire touched his brow, like a pot of boiling oil poured into a raging fire, completely igniting the suppressed anger in his heart.
"Bang!"
The study door was kicked open.
Then, Prince Lin Tianrong stepped out of the study and looked at the red light in the distance. With just one glance, his expression visibly stiffened.
Not that the attic fire is that important.
Moreover, this fire is obviously a bit big.
"Your Highness, there is... a fire!" At this moment, a guard quickly came to the front of Prince Lin Tianrong, with a look of panic on his face.
"A bunch of trash!" Prince Lin Tianrong roared angrily, and kicked the guard in the face, sending the guard's body rolling back six to seven meters.
Blood splattered.
However, the guards obviously did not dare to make any announcement.
After being kicked away, he lay on the ground, feeling as if he was in a coma.
It must be said that this guard was quite clever. After reporting the letter, he realized that something was wrong, so he pretended to be unconscious to avoid the disaster.
But Prince Lin Tianrong's anger was obviously greater than before.
After seeing the guard lying motionless on the ground, the anger in his eyes became more intense. He turned his hand and a bright long sword appeared in his hand.
"You useless thing, how dare you pretend to be dead in front of this prince!" Prince Lin Tianrong shouted angrily again and arrived in front of the guard in a few steps.
The sword in his hand stabbed, and a cold light flashed in the moonlight. Then, there was a sword at the guard's throat, piercing from the back of the neck and out of the throat.
The guard's hands and feet trembled twice, his eyes somewhat incredulous.
Usually, when Prince Lin Tianrong is angry, these guards can save their lives by not provoking him too much, pretending to be dead, or hiding away.
But today, it is obviously different.
He wanted to speak, but the coldness in his throat made his body unable to move. At this moment, he seemed to understand.
When he came to report the news, it actually meant that he was dead.
Whether he pretended to be dead or not, he had to die because Prince Lin Tianrong had no intention of letting the person who reported the news live.
"Stab it!"
The sword was drawn from the guard's neck.
But Prince Lin Tianrong didn't even look at the guard again, and walked directly towards the burning attic, the sword in his hand still dripping with blood.
This is the difference between those who are superior and those who are inferior.
Sometimes, there is really no need for a reason to kill someone.
If there must be one, then there is only one, and he is the prince. Then, the lives of everyone in the prince's palace in the East Palace are controlled by him.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
“…”
Voices sounded around Prince Lin Tianrong one by one, and as these voices sounded, there were screams echoing.
Prince Lin Tianrong's sword is very cold.
And under his sword, there were corpses that were getting colder.
The guards, maids, and servants stood tremblingly on the spot, motionless as they let the sword fall. There was only one begging in their hearts, that is, for Prince Lin Tianrong to take the initiative to stop.
"Stab it!"
"Stab it!"
“…”
After killing seven guards and maids in a row, Prince Lin Tianrong's clothes were stained with a few drops of blood, which made him frown again.
As the dignified prince of the East Palace, he can kill people, but he hates having too much blood on his clothes.
"Take it away!" Prince Lin Tianrong casually threw away the long sword in his hand, and wiped the blood on the corner of his clothes against the armor of the guard at his feet.
"Yes!" Several guards immediately took orders and dragged the corpses down.
At the same time, several maids brought buckets and began to wipe the blood on the ground. Another maid ran over quickly with a cloak in her hand.
Everything is so natural.
No one dared to say another word.
…
When Prince Lin Tianrong arrived at the attic, the fire had been basically extinguished, and the air was filled with thick smoke and dust from burned wood.
Countless guards and maids stood tremblingly around the attic.
In addition, there are several middle-aged men who are obviously different from the guards and maids. The middle-aged men in luxurious clothes have a slight arrogance on their faces.
They are the disciples of the Prince's Mansion.
If only the guards and maids were there to put out the fire, it would naturally be impossible to suppress the fire so quickly.
after all…
This fire is too big.
The entire attic was set on fire, and the trees in the attic were also scorched, and even several attics a hundred meters away were also more or less affected.
It is conceivable that if several of their customers hadn't arrived in time and took action at the right time, the fire would definitely have burned more than just an attic.
"Who is responsible for guarding this place?" Prince Lin Tianrong looked at the burned attic, and the anger on his face suddenly rose again.
There is a fire in the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace!
This is such an unexpected thing.
For the Tianjia Majesty, this is poor management and a loss of face, but for the people, this is undoubtedly a joke to talk about after dinner.
"Yes... yes... next... this..." A guard quickly ran out of the crowd and knelt down at the feet of Prince Lin Tianrong with a pale face.
"Drag it down!" Prince Lin Tianrong didn't even wait for the guard to finish speaking before he kicked the guard away. Then, he glanced around and asked, "Why is there a fire?"
"this… "
The guards and maids all looked at me and I looked at you.
Of course they could see the anger of Prince Lin Tianrong, and they did not want to die, but they also knew that if they did not stand up and explain the reason immediately, then it is very likely that all of them would die.
Even their families died together!
One of the guards took a step forward, and just as he was about to speak, a retainer preceded him and stood in front of Prince Lin Tianrong. At the same time, he shook his head at him.
The guard's face suddenly relaxed, and he immediately retreated.
"His Royal Highness, the fire was not caused by the guards, but someone deliberately set the fire!" When the retainer said the last two words, he also looked sure.
"Deliberately setting fire? What's the reason?" Prince Lin Tianrong looked at the doorman, then at the charred attic in front of him, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"There are remnants of fire starters on the ground, and their power is amazing. It can be seen that the other party was prepared before coming." The doorman replied again.
"Then what are you waiting for? Seal the main roads in the Prince's Mansion, and be sure to catch the arsonists!" Upon hearing this, Prince Lin Tianrong showed no hesitation and quickly issued the order, his tone extremely cold.
"Yes!" Dozens of guards immediately stood up and ran around.
only…
But they didn't run too far before they stopped.
Because, at this moment, another blaze of light had risen into the sky, and the setting sun seemed to have been summoned to rise again.
And more importantly, for some reason, a strong wind suddenly blew in the sky.
night…
very quiet!
However, the wind was very loud.
"call!"
The strong wind blew from the sky, blowing the flames that shot up into the sky in a beautiful arc. The fire also ignited several surrounding attics in an instant.
Everyone's eyes were frozen at this moment.
Everyone's face was obviously stiff, and even Prince Lin Tianrong was a little unable to react, because they never expected that the person who set the fire did not leave!
Moreover, it even set the distant attic on fire again!
The most important thing is...
That location!
It's Prince Lin Tianrong's study!
This undoubtedly confused the guards and maids.
What does it mean to add insult to injury? This is adding insult to injury. When Prince Lin Tianrong was already furious, he ordered one attic and then another.
So unscrupulous, so arrogant and willful.
At this moment, everyone was shocked, because they all felt the real anger in Prince Lin Tianrong, as well as the overwhelming murderous intention.
The dignity of the Prince's Palace in the East Palace was finally trampled on by the other party.
"If you can't catch them, none of you will survive!" Prince Lin Tianrong's voice finally rang out, a voice that was almost out of control.
This majestic Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Finally, he was overcome by anger.
No one could endure this humiliation. They went to the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace in the middle of the night to set fire, and they didn't even run away immediately after setting the fire...
Doing it again? !
This is contempt, contempt for the Prince's Palace.
Several diners also looked at each other at this time, with disbelief in their eyes, but they had no intention of staying any longer.
In fact, when the first attic was set alight, they weren't sure someone was setting the fire.
after all…
This is Yanjing City, at the feet of the Emperor, and it is also the Prince's Palace in the East Palace, which is second only to the Imperial Palace and Pingyang Palace in terms of defense in Yanjing City.
So, normally, who would dare to set fire
Therefore, their first reaction was to put out the fire rather than conduct an immediate search. However, they were shocked when they saw the ashes left on the ground.
Shocked by the other party's boldness.
Setting fire to the East Palace, what kind of brave people dare to do this
However, now, their thinking has completely transcended the word shock, because the other party has not left yet, even after causing huge commotion, he has not left yet.
Moreover, a fire was lit again.
A fire located in the center of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace!
In fact, such behavior can no longer be described as bold. To be more specific, it should be "seeking death without leaving any room for death!"
Several figures pulled up instantly, turned into a few points of light, and ran towards the prince's study.
Extremely fast!
Following the leadership of several retainers, countless guards also moved one after another, and almost everyone immediately ran towards the direction of the prince's study.
Because the criminal who set the fire is right there!
This is an encirclement that is rapidly closing in from all directions.
It was like a huge wave, shrinking rapidly towards the center of a blazing fire in a circular human wave.
Prince Lin Tianrong is of course among this crowd.
His face was very red, and he didn't know whether it was the redness caused by the firelight, or the redness caused by the surge of blood and energy that made him unable to hold his head back.
"If I don't chop you alive today, I swear that I will not be a human being!" Prince Lin Tianrong's eyes flashed with blood, and strong murderous aura continued to pour out of his body.
"Get away!"
A maid who was walking a little slower was kicked away by Prince Lin Tianrong.
Suddenly, there was another opening in the crowd. It was like a forbidden area. No one dared to set foot on it, because that was the direction Prince Lin Tianrong was walking.
…
The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace, at the entrance of the other courtyard.
Pingyang, who was wearing a black tights, opened his mouth wide and widened his eyes as clear as water. The redness on his face due to the smell of alcohol had obviously dissipated a lot at this moment.
"This shameless guy actually... actually set fire to Third Brother's... book... study?!" Pingyang liked to set fires. Growing up, she burned down no fewer than twenty houses in Yanjing City.
She burned down everything from the Prince's Mansion, the Minister's Mansion, to the General's Mansion, and even the former Minister of Justice Wanchong's Mansion.
But she has principles. For example, the imperial palace and her own Pingyang Mansion will not be manipulated. In addition, there are several places where she will never be manipulated.
And among them…
There is the study room of the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace! (To be continued.)
