Chapter 257: Arson
Rong Anhou was stunned for a moment, "Come in and tell me!"
The door curtain was lifted, and the damp and cold air from outside blew in. If it were usual, Marquis Rong'an would have frowned in discomfort, but right now all his attention was on the sentence just now.
The attendant who came in saluted with fists clasped and stood bowed. Rong'an Marquis raised his hand and stopped all his courtesy. The attendant said directly, "I just received news that half an hour ago, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess came to Qianzhou and are currently staying at Qingyue Inn. They are a group of five people, the other three are Ming Luming and Jixiang and..."
The follower spoke several times and paused.
"And Master Yu."
Rong Anhou suddenly took a deep breath and slammed his palm on the table, "That rebellious son!"
If Xiao Yu had not betrayed his father and exposed the account book incident, the prince would not have been arrested, and he would not have been in such a passive situation later.
As they were talking, the prince came in from outside. He vaguely heard a few words in the courtyard. He walked in and glanced at his entourage, "Who's here?"
The attendant then reported what he had just said.
The prince's face turned pale in an instant, "How dare this beast come here! If he hadn't betrayed us, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"
According to Marquis Rong'an's previous plan, he would be able to use the third prince to overthrow the crown prince at the palace banquet on the New Year's Eve. The Queen Mother had people from their Marquis Rong'an Mansion in front of her, so even if Prince Yu caused trouble, he could easily deal with it.
As a result, Xiao Yu's reckless actions led to the prince being thrown into jail, and the Marquis of Rong'an became so angry that he fell ill.
The prince was filled with rage and walked out, saying, "Where is that bastard? I'll lead the troops to catch him right now!"
Marquis Rong'an was old after all. A serious illness had taken half his life away before. Although he had recovered now, he could not withstand such great emotional fluctuations. His face was ashen and his lips were dry purple. It took him a long time to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Don't be impulsive."
Marquis Rong'an immediately stopped the prince.
"They knew I was in Qianzhou and came here just for me. That evildoer is nothing to be afraid of, but he also has Su Qingqing with him."
The three words "Su Qingqing" immediately stopped the prince in his tracks.
He was able to wipe out an army of 20,000 by himself. This ability would scare everyone.
The prince clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He was obviously afraid in his heart, but he was angry on the surface. "What are you afraid of? Qianzhou is our territory. No matter how powerful Su Qingqing is, can she really wipe out all our people in Qianzhou?
He led his troops to surround the inn. No matter how powerful she is, she can't escape."
"No, Su Qingqing will never act rashly. Since she is here, she must have made all the necessary preparations. We can't act rashly!" Rong An Hou refused. "Have you forgotten the bloody storm this person has stirred up in Kyoto!"
As they were talking, there was another report from outside.
"My Lord, I just received news that the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess went to the City God Temple."
Rong Anhou was stunned. "City God Temple?"
The prince's focus was: "Are they the only two going?"
The person who came to report the news said, "No, the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess took Jixiang and Minglu with them, while Minghe and Yuye went to the north of the city."
Marquis Rong'an immediately pulled out the map.
The City God Temple was built in the south of Qianzhou City, and Xiao Yu went to the north of the city... What were they going to do?
Rong An Hou marked the City God Temple on the map and asked without even looking up, "Where is Xiao Yu going to the north of the city?"
The attendant reported back, "When we received the news, Master Yu and Minghe were having dinner at a wonton shop in the north of the city. As for where they were going after dinner, the news has not yet been delivered."
Marquis Rong'an stood in front of the table with his arms folded, studying the map.
"What do they want to do? What kind of maze is this?"
He tried to guess Su Qingqing's plan this time based on the locations of Su Qingqing and Xiao Yu on the map.
The prince stood at one side impatiently, "Are we being too cautious? There are only five of them in total. We should . Even if we capture Xiao Yu now, Su Qingqing will not be able to save him in time."
Marquis Rong'an did not dare to act rashly.
"Wait a little longer and see what they are going to do!" Taking his eyes off the map, Marquis Rong'an ordered his followers, "Keep an eye on them and report back on their every move."
Here, Rong Anhou's men were ordered to monitor Su Qingqing.
On the other side, Su Qingqing brought Rong Que into the gate of the City God Temple.
There were not many people coming to worship . Su Qingqing and Rong Que each lit a handful of incense and walked forward. They knelt side by side on the cushion and lit the incense respectfully.
Su Qingqing inserted a thick bundle of incense into the incense burner and looked at the statue of the City God with great piety. "Let me make a deal with you. We will burn down your City God Temple later. Don't get angry."
Rong Que stood aside, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
They had already discussed it before leaving the inn. They would kill people and set fire to the City God Temple, while Ming and Xiao Yu and others would gather together to cause trouble in the north of the city.
The tip of his tongue brushed across his back teeth, and Rong Que leaned towards Su Qingqing, "You want to burn someone's house down and ask them not to get angry, isn't that asking too much?"
Su Qingqing looked at the statue of the City God and said, "As the saying goes, the old must go before the new can come. This house was built for you by Rong'an Hou. He is a man with bad intentions, and the money he used to build your house came from an unclean source. You are the City God, and you are also a divine official. How can you live in a house like this ?
I will burn it down for you, and then I will build you a new one. You will live comfortably in the house I build.”
After saying this, Su Qingqing bowed.
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent."
Rong Que wanted to laugh but felt that this place was not suitable.
How come this person...
So cute.
After Su Qingqing finished speaking, she raised her hand and pushed over the candle next to her.
The flames licked the yellow tablecloth next to it and immediately caught fire.
Outside, Jixiang Minglu chose a place with auspicious feng shui and set a big fire.
The fire was deliberately set, and there was enough kerosene, so the flames immediately connected into a piece, and a raging fire broke out in an instant.
The first person to discover the fire was...
Su Qingqing.
She ran out of the temple screaming, "Oh no, it's on fire, someone, it's on fire."
Rong Que: ...
The calls, accompanied by black smoke, thick fog and red flames, immediately attracted the management and cleaning staff of the City God Temple and those who came here to burn incense.
at the same time.
North of the city.
Xiao Yu grabbed a man on the table next to him and threw him onto the table in Hun Dun Pu.
Bang!
Crash!
As the dishes and chopsticks on the table were scattered all over the floor, a group of people gathered around.
Xiao Yu fiercely said to the man he had pinned on the table, "What else do you want? Ah? What else do you want! My whole family was taken away to fight in the war, and what happened? None of my brothers, my younger brother, my brother-in-law, and my brother-in-law came back alive!
All dead 1
How dare you continue to force me to fight!
What? Would you be happy only if all the gentlemen in Qianzhou were killed?
You are doing evil things like this, aren't you afraid that the City God will punish you?"
