The fire had a pungent smell, and he felt a headache after smelling it on the shore for a long time, not to mention those who were still struggling in the fire.
If the burning continues like this, even if more than a thousand people are not burned to death, they will be smoked to death, and even if they are lucky enough to escape, the number will not be too many...
In other words, Xie Linlang's hand, in less than a quarter of an hour, destroyed more than a thousand murderous gangsters! What kind of power is this...
No wonder His Highness has changed so much. When you are by the side of such a god, you can be transcended from the mundane, right
On the other side, Chang'an Wharf.
The sky was getting darker and darker. In order to see the situation clearly, the imperial envoy had to go out of the Wangjiang Tower and stand on the pier to watch.
Why did the river suddenly burn, why didn't it burn here, and why did the boats stand still? Obviously there is no fire not far ahead of them.
In addition to him, the common people are also watching from afar.
They dare not approach, after all, the water can be burned, who knows if they will bring disaster to the pond fish
As for the people trapped in the river, they wanted to save them, but they could only be sorry. After all, the fire came so strangely, it was like punishment from the heavens, how dare they just rush in like this
Presumably those people must have done bad things to be punished by ghosts and gods like this? Otherwise, how to explain this strange fire? !
Tao county magistrate stood beside the imperial envoy, only to feel flustered.
He should have been as shocked or frightened as everyone else when he saw such a rare sight in a century, but since the fire started, his whole person began to feel uneasy!
As if... some danger was about to come!
Just when he was in a state of indifference and sweating, the imperial envoy, who was watching the fire from the other side, suddenly said.
"This officer sees that the situation is not right. Those boats were still going before, but they are not going now. The fire in the upper reaches of the river has been extinguished a lot. You quickly bring people to check the situation and see if there are still people on the boat. No help!"
The imperial envoy's words made Tao County magistrate dumbfounded. The fire was so strange that no one dared to approach it? How dare he go
As for those businessmen, die! What does it have to do with him
But he didn't dare to say that on his face, he just said with an apologetic smile, "Don't worry, my lord, I will call someone to check it out. It's just my lord, why don't you go back with him? Although the fire didn't come here, it's still there. It's too dangerous to be near the water."
The imperial envoy frowned immediately when he heard the words, and said with some displeasure.
"This official is still waiting for Young Master Xie! Today is two months, and he will definitely come."
Hearing this, Tao County magistrate became more and more restless, and under the influence of this uneasiness, he didn't even think about it.
"Although it's a long way from the capital to Xiangcheng, it won't take two months without coming... Xiaguan heard that there are a lot of bandits along the way, so they must have been captured by bandits..."
Before he finished speaking, a crisp laughter came from afar.
"Master Tao can rest assured that even if all the assassins and gangsters in the world come to block me, it is definitely not me Xie Linlang who will die in the end."
Her voice surprised everyone on the dock!
Soon, in the mist of the evening, a flat boat turned across the river and swiftly headed towards them.
The hull of the ship was burnt to pitch black, and although Xie Linlang, who was standing on the bow, still looked sassy and unrestrained, her clothes were already licked by Mars.
And behind her, Qin Jue was also safe and sound. He sat there quietly, giving people the feeling of being cold and quiet.
This surprised the imperial envoy. Before, his subordinates sent a letter to him about the evil deeds of the escort team. He thought that he would see a seriously injured, gloomy and isolated young man. He did not expect that Qin Jue's state was better than he imagined. much more.
After the boat docked, Xie Linlang jumped ashore first, then turned around and wanted to pull Qin Jue.
Unexpectedly, Qin Jue looked at her outstretched hand, and her eyes became complicated.
This is a little weird! Xie Linlang tilted her head, but she still has something to deal with right now, she didn't think about it, she turned around and smiled at the imperial envoy.
"Your Majesty the imperial envoy is polite! I'm here to Xie Linlang, according to His Majesty's order, within two months, bring the prince to Xiangcheng to report! Now that the person has been delivered, and within the time limit, your lord can rest assured to go back and report back!"
Hearing what she said, the imperial commissioner stroked his beard and smiled.
"I'm relieved to see you coming. Master Tao said that you can walk by water, but I still don't believe it. I didn't expect that you really came by water."
When Xie Linlang heard this, she glanced sharply at Tao County Magistrate and sneered.
"If it wasn't for being hunted down by mountain bandits, I wouldn't have changed my route halfway through. I didn't know that Master Tao was a prophet, and he would have guessed the path that he was going to take?"
From Xie Linlang's appearance to when she said these words, Tao County Magistrate finally understood why he felt that catastrophe was imminent!
Xie Linlang didn't die? Did she really come by water? ! Which waterway did she take, why didn't the weird fire just burn her to death? And what does she mean by that? Is she already doubting herself
Pulling the corners of his mouth, Magistrate Tao showed a smirk but said embarrassedly.
"This... It's not too late to talk about this later. It's getting late now, and Young Master Xie is tired again. Why don't you go back to the city with this official, sit down and eat something and have a good rest?"
He had just finished speaking when suddenly, more than 100 officers and soldiers came running in unison. Under the command of Xiaoxi, they quickly surrounded Chang'an Pier, blocking the imperial envoy, Tao County magistrate, and several of Tao County magistrate's henchmen. Here, there is no going back.
The imperial envoy didn't panic, because he recognized Xiaoxi and knew that this was Xie Linlang's book boy. He had borrowed a token from him before, saying that there were many bandits nearby, and he was going to transfer troops to protect his son.
But Tao County Magistrate was different. Seeing that these officers and soldiers were not his own, and most of his own people were in the city, he looked at Xie Linlang in a panic and shouted in shock.
"Xie Gongzi! What do you mean?!"
At this time, Xiaoxi had already run behind Xie Linlang and whispered a few words in her ear.
Xie Linlang nodded and took a step forward with a smile. She was surrounded by people around her. She looked at Tao County magistrate with a little malicious intent.
"What do I mean, Master Tao is not clear?"
As soon as she waved her hand, officers and soldiers brought a few gangsters up. Seeing who those people were, Magistrate Tao's face changed!
The imperial envoy was a little unclear, so he frowned and asked, "Master Xie, what's going on?"
Xie Linlang said, "What's the matter? I have to ask Master Tao! Master Tao colluded with the bandits, intending to murder the next, if not for these officers and soldiers, the Lord would not have seen me and His Highness the Prince!
Now that the gangster has confessed and is willing to provide physical evidence, it just so happens that the imperial consignment is here, why don't you do justice for him before returning to Beijing to resume his orders? "
