He Yuncheng's eyebrows and eyes were light, and he glanced at the Gecha Mansion, and a cold voice came, "The fire started from Zhong Wenting's cell, and the surrounding area was covered with oil and wine mixture. No matter how much water is poured, it will be useless."
Wen Chan laughed, "It seems that someone did it on purpose."
He glanced at Wen Chan, left suddenly, and walked slowly, "When the Zhong family was still alive, they were very powerful and had many enemies. Now that they are imprisoned, people will naturally retaliate."
"The Zhong family has evil in their hearts, and this situation is their own doing." Wen Chan said.
He Yuncheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard the words, with a hint of sarcasm in his smile, "There are no absolutely good people in the world, and there are no absolutely evil people."
He felt that He Yuncheng was a bit strange. Although he didn't clearly refer to what he said, he was faintly inclined to the Zhong family. Wen Chan felt that if he continued to chat, he might start a fight with him.
So he nodded slightly and turned to leave.
"Your Highness Nine." He called Wen Chan from behind, and said, "It's better not to go."
Wen Chan looked at him inexplicably.
He went on to say, "After the fire, the roof beams are still unstable, which is dangerous."
"Thank you for reminding me." Wen Chan gave him a distant smile, but he didn't listen to his advice, and took Ah Fu into Gecha Mansion.
The interior of the Gecha Mansion was devastated by the fire, and it really became unsightly. This fire not only burned Zhong Wenting to death, but also burned to death some of the most vicious sinners in the past.
The surviving prisoners were all transferred, and today's Gecha Mansion is left with some guards and garbage that has not been cleaned up in time.
Wen Chan's gaze scanned the courtyard once, passing over the charred walls of the house, and casually called a guard, "You, come here."
Seeing that he was dressed in extraordinary clothes, the guards thought he was a prince's son from some family, and hurriedly trotted over, "My lord, what are your orders?"
"Cough!" Ah Fu coughed dryly from behind, "Our Ninth Highness is concerned about yesterday's fire case, so we came here to take a look."
"Oh! It turned out to be His Highness the Ninth Prince. His subordinates are so blind that they didn't recognize him!" The guard gave Wen Chan a surprised look, knelt on the ground and saluted, "See Your Highness the Ninth Prince!"
"Get up." Wen Chan stood with his hands behind his back, and said directly, "Take Ben Gong to Zhong Guoyi's cell to have a look."
The guard responded, stood up from the ground, and led Wen Chan to the backyard. Along a wide road, the cells at the back appeared in front of him. They were all independent, and they were dedicated to detaining courtiers who had committed serious crimes.
This is the most severely burned area, and one of the cells was completely pitch-black, and the original appearance could not be seen at all, but even with such a big fire, these cells were still strong and did not collapse.
"These cells are different from those in the front yard. They are all built with special materials, and the exterior and interior are painted with arson paint to prevent fires. But who knows that the fire yesterday was too big. After spreading to the front yard, we only If you can save the fire in the front yard in time, the fire will be almost extinguished by itself when you can enter the back yard." The guard said as he walked.
"How are the guards distributed here?" he asked.
"Each cell needs four guards, two in front of the door and two under the window, changing day and night." The guard replied.
Wen Chan sniffed it carefully, and felt that there was a slight smell of alcohol in the air around him, and he suddenly remembered that when he met Liang Yanbei last night, he also smelled that aroma of alcohol.
Liang Yanbei set the fire, and nine out of ten the wine was also spilled by him. As long as he uses his brain a little when he does something bad, God will be on his side.
The guards are so strict, what method did Liang Yanbei use to spill a large amount of wine here? It's almost impossible to do.
Just as he was thinking about it, the guard said to Wen Chan, "His Royal Highness, stand back. This door was deformed by burning last night, and it is difficult to open. I am afraid that some dust will splash on His Highness later."
Wen Chan took two steps back very cooperatively, signaling the guards to move with his eyes.
But the guard felt that his two steps were too close, so he said bravely, "It's still too close, why don't you step back further, Your Highness?"
He moved his back heel very much to appreciate face, and felt that his distance was far enough, and said, "Now it's okay."
In the eyes of the guards, this was equivalent to not retreating. He weighed in his heart whether to remind His Highness the Ninth Prince would get angry again, or just open the door like this.
After thinking about it, if something really collided with His Highness Ninth Highness, I don't know if his life can be saved.
After brewing for a moment, the guard planned to speak again, reminding him a third time, but at this moment, a strange voice came from the side.
The sound was like two blades hitting each other, the sound was very soft, but because of its crispness, it had a strong penetrating power.
The three of them looked at the same time, and saw a man in a black robe standing not far away, his head was covered by a big hood, his head was lowered, and his right hand was holding a scimitar that was as long as two palms. , tapping the index finger on the blade.
Wen Chan's first thought popped up: How long does it take to make such a sound
However, this insignificant thought flashed by, and he frowned slightly, showing a vigilant look, "Who are you?"
There was someone dressed like this in Taibai, obviously not an ordinary person, holding a weapon in his hand, and there was a strange aura all over his body.
The guard gave up on opening the door, pulled out the saber from his waist, walked in front of Wen Chan a few steps, and shouted, "Entry is forbidden here, leave quickly!"
Hearing the words, the visitor raised his head and faced Wen Chan.
Under the hood was a pure black mask that covered the entire face, only a pair of eyes were exposed, staring at him closely.
A familiar feeling came through the cold mask, flashed by, Wen Chan tried hard to look into those eyes, but couldn't catch anything.
The man in black didn't speak, but turned the blade with his backhand. The sunlight refracted the cold light, and stabbed the guard's eyes first. The moment the guard subconsciously closed his eyes, he got up from the ground and rushed towards Wen Chan.
The movement was not fast. Seeing him attacking, Wen Chan didn't dodge. Instead, he reached out to grab the guard beside him and pulled him back.
The black-robed man soon came in front of him, holding the scimitar high and slashing from top to bottom. Just as the blade was about to fall on his shoulder, Wen Chan retreated extremely swiftly, and the sword slipped against the cloth. Pass.
At the same time, a long sword flew from the side, aiming at the back of the head of the man in black, and stabbing it quickly.
The black-robed man seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and he flipped to the side in the air, dodging the attack, the long sword fell into the air, and plunged obliquely into the ground, more than halfway into the ground.
Immediately afterwards, two people fell from the wall, and they were the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting duo who had been guarding Wen Chan in the dark.
With a sword in his hand, Qin Qi went straight to kill the black-robed man, while the calligraphy and painting landed beside Wen Chan. He pulled out the sword stuck on the ground and said solemnly to Wen Chan, "This place is not suitable for staying for long, Your Highness hurry up!" Some leave!"
"Ah Fu, take Your Highness away!" He shouted softly, and then joined the battle with his sword in hand.
Wen Chan didn't leave immediately, feeling that something was wrong.
The guard beside him also urged anxiously, "Your Highness Ninth! This subordinate escorts you away, and then call the guards in the front yard to catch this assassin!"
He gestured, "Don't talk yet."
Wen Chan gave the order to shut up, and the guards had to step aside, which happened to block what Ah Fu wanted to say, his anxious face turned pale, but there was nothing he could do.
He knew that although his master usually seemed to have a tolerant temper, when it came time to be serious, he had to obey the orders he gave.
Wen Chan's eyes were still glued to the battle over there, and he saw that the black-robed man was one against two and still not losing the wind, and even swung his sword with ease. None of them took a step forward.
Wen Chan's cold sweat broke out in an instant. He was very aware of the strength of his two guards. As the top hidden guards selected by the palace, Qinqi, calligraphy and painting could almost stand in the front of the entire Xiliang, so When Wen Chan went to May Island alone, he didn't panic at all.
However, the two hidden guards teamed up against the enemy, and they also suffered an obvious disadvantage. If it wasn't for the fact that the black robed man had no intention of taking their lives, the throat of the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting would have been cut by the black robed man as early as when the black robed man made the first cut. cut off.
After a few moves, the black-robed man withdrew his blade, slashed at Shuhua's arm with his palm, and pushed him onto Qinqi with a backhand push. Qinqi gave up the attack in order to catch him.
The man in black also took this opportunity to jump to the roof, standing on the top and looking down at them.
The cell he stepped on was exactly what Wen Chan wanted to enter, Zhong Guoyi's cell.
Wen Chan seemed to understand the intention of the man in black in an instant.
He didn't intend to kill at the beginning, he was just warning to persuade him to retreat, so when the guard wanted to open the door, he tapped the blade with his fingernails to attract Wen Chan's attention, and the first knife just now showed obvious signs of letting go , If you really want to kill someone, just slash at him, Wen Chan has no chance to dodge.
He guards Zhong Guoyi's cell, why
I heard people say that Zhong Guoyi disappeared out of thin air, so the badly burned prison cell in front of him should be empty. What is the purpose of this man in black robe to do this
But since this person wanted to stop them from opening the cell door, if they persisted, they would definitely fight again, but he didn't know if the black-robed man would be merciful the second time, Wen Chan felt that this risk was too much to take.
If you want to fight head-on, you have to call Liang Yanbei over.
He lightly raised his hand, "Let's retreat first."
Several people were relieved when they heard that he said to withdraw. Ah Fu followed up to help support the calligraphy and painting, and waited for Wen Chan to leave first.
Before he left, he glanced at the man in black again.
The man's eyes were extremely dark, without any emotion, and he looked straight at Wen Chan, which was a bit weird.
It's a pity that the mask covered his face, otherwise he could at least guess the identity of this person, Wen Chan thought to himself.
He led the people out from the backyard, but the black-robed man really didn't move, and kept watching them leave.
When they arrived at the front yard, the guard wanted to ask someone to arrest the assassin in the back yard, but was stopped by Wen Chan, "You are not his opponent, and you will die if you go there. Leave it alone for now, keep the front yard tight and don't let anyone else go." If people go in, the palace will come again."
The guard was hesitant at first, but seeing Wen Chan's firm gaze, serious tone, and an order, he had no choice but to obey.
After leaving the Gecha Mansion, Wen Chan recalled what happened just now, and a sense of uneasiness quickly surged into his heart, which became more and more intense. He took a deep breath, and said to Ah Fu, "Go to the Liang Mansion."
