C209 Very bad luck (in)

"Is everything ready?" Qiu Canghai sat in the Division Hall, drinking tea and asking the Radix Aromasiae who was in charge of the scene.

"Hall Master, everything has been tidied up. All the looted things are hidden in the secret room of a house near the Blood Illusion Valley's encampment. Tomorrow morning, they will be able to ship them out from the east city, and after they have gone up fifty kilometers directly north, they will disperse the surrounding cities. I believe they cannot find them, and will be able to direct their line of sight to the north! "I'm just afraid that tomorrow, the city gates will be closed. By then, I'm afraid ?" Radix Aromasiae moved closer to Qiu Canghai and reported in a low voice.

"Don't worry, there are a lot of big families and powers in the city, even if Sword League's eyes are red with anger, she would not dare to seal the city gates. Don't worry about that, when we leave the city in the name of Murong Family, they will not dare to stop us. By the way, are the kerosene, dry wood, and straw you used to set the fire to, all right? But don't let anything slip by! " Qiu Canghai nodded, and continued to ask.

"Everything has been cleaned up, the fire oil was bought in the name of the Blood Illusion Valley. Speaking of it, the Blood Illusion Valley did indeed need to buy some fire oil recently, and there isn't much of it, but the specific reason isn't very clear, and the person in charge of purchasing wanted to get a lot of it, so he bought a large amount and planned to sell it himself. Thus, we took this opportunity to buy some. As for the dry wood, which was cut down and brought back from the east side of the city, it just so happens that they don't use it and just throw it away, we just have to secretly bring it back. As for the dry grass, they might not even be able to find the source of it after giving it to them for a hundred years. Radix Aromasiae laughed and explained.

He wanted to be happy when he said this. If he had done it normally, he wouldn't have been able to gather so many things in such a short amount of time, other than straw. The straw itself was not very effective in helping the fire. Although it could be dipped in fire, when it burned, either a large amount of smoke would appear, or it would burn out very quickly without any effect at all.

However, the fire oil and dry wood were different. The fire aid was good and it burned for a long time, but these two things required a large amount of money. If someone asked around, they would easily be able to find it.

Luckily, the heavens were on his side, the Listening Rain Pavilion's spies unintentionally found out from Blood Illusion Valley that the Blood Illusion Valley wanted to buy fire oil, but there weren't many of them, so the Listening Rain Pavilion people pretended to be people from the big shop and after making a bit of contact, they came up with the idea of buying fire oil. As for the buyer, he started to scheme for selling the fire oil as soon as he heard the news, and with the large amount of money he had, he could easily buy or sell it in a short period of time, and the most important part was, he could reap some benefits from it.

As a result, the buyer was successfully tricked, and when the fire oil was in his hands, the disguised merchant from Listening Rain Pavilion disappeared with the fire oil. As for the buyer, he was still waiting to go in the morning to collect the money, wouldn't the fire oil have been poured into the Sword League's encampment, and he could only bear the money, but it seemed that the one he had to shoulder was not just a simple sum of money.

Furthermore, the firewood, this made Radix Aromasiae even happier, as if a pie had fallen from the sky. The trees outside the city were as numerous as cow hair, but the trees inside the city were pathetically small. If they wanted to get a large amount of firewood, they would have to pass through the defense line.

Coincidentally, today was the day when the city's east gate guard did not know that the bowstring was abnormal. He had actually brought a whole army of light cavalry troops to cut down so many trees outside the city. These trees seemed to have been abandoned, and after they returned, they were casually thrown to one side. So he was brought back here secretly by the Listening Rain Pavilion, and it was useful.

"En, very good. It seems like the pavilion master had long since sent the general that was in charge of the east side to chop down the trees and then followed the chaos in the south side of the city to let that general go home for a vacation. Could it be that the pavilion master had already planned this all along?" Qiu Canghai praised his subordinate, and then said to himself.

When he thought about the chaotic scene in and out of the city, and the series of events that had occurred during the night, he couldn't help but feel that there was a link between everything. He really didn't know how this pavilion master, at such a young age, could think of such a thing.

Thinking about the firewood, Qiu Canghai couldn't help but sigh for the general at the east side of the city. Because he had been given a big break during the day, he was able to escape from the scolding during the night, but because of the firewood, he was afraid that tomorrow, he would feel better!

"From the looks of it, the Pavilion Master's every step seemed to have been foreseen long ago. It is truly marvelous!" That Radix Aromasiae couldn't help but exclaim along with him.

"Enough, don't be so talkative. How are the preparations for the 'welcoming party' going?" Qiu Canghai opened his mouth to interrupt the ass-licking man, and casually asked about the arrangement.

"Don't worry, Hall Master. There are three waves, one outside the city and two inside the city!" Radix Aromasiae hurriedly replied.

"Is everything ready?" Qiu Canghai asked once again.

"Everything has been explained." Radix Aromasiae bowed as he replied.

"Mm, bring a few people with you and follow me to the north of the city. I'm worried about Pavilion Master, let's go welcome him!" Qiu Canghai was still a little worried, but from the looks of it, the way he was doing it was extremely smooth, and his eyes were twitching, probably because there was a problem with the pavilion master's side.

"Yes sir!" The Radix Aromasiae replied and turned around to make arrangements.

? ?.

"Eh? "Where did this fire come from?" Leng Nuohan pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard. With a tap of her feet on the ground, she jumped onto the roof and looked towards the place where the fire was set.

"Hehe, it's probably another scheme of his. I wonder who's house this is!" Leng Nuohan shook his head and smiled, in his heart, only Gongsun Zaitian could do such a thing. If she guessed correctly, it was either the Sword League's encampment or the Blood Illusion Valley's encampment, and from this direction, it was more or less likely that it was the Sword League's encampment.

This time, Sword League has sent four elders, causing such a big commotion, how will the situation end? Leng Nuohan sighed.

"That palpitation, could it be that he was fighting against the four elders of the Sword League?" Just as Leng Nuohan wanted to return back to the house, he stopped in his tracks, unable to hold back from thinking of a possibility, causing him to be unable to remain calm. With a flash on the roof, he disappeared from there.

? ?.

Not long after, Leng Nuohan arrived at the encampment of the Sword League. Standing at the top, he looked down at the sea of people below. There were city guards and common folk, but they were all busy with one thing, which was to extinguish the fire.

However, their actions were very strange. They were not trying to extinguish the fire. It was as if they were afraid that the flames would spread. Leng Nuohan did not care about these details, and focused on the inside of the Sword Alliance station.

Originally, the Radix Aromasiae wanted to have the people of the Sword League return and watch his own encampment turn into a pile of white land. But because of the excessive pouring of fire oil, as well as adding a large amount of firewood and other burning aids, the flames became too exuberant, and in the end, the effect of the flames reaching the sky was achieved. However, the houses in the encampment burned too fast, and based on the current extent of the fire, when the main forces of the Sword League rushed back, not even ashes would be left.

The focus of Leng Nuohan's attention wasn't on the fire, but rather the result of the fire. He was more concerned about whether there were any traces of battles between the strong warriors, and with the Great Clan Elder's power, it was unlikely that Gongsun Zaitian could fight against them at his current level, so it would be very obvious once they fought. However, Leng Nuohan was unable to find any traces of fighting at all for a long time, at most, it was just a group of low-levelled men killing each other.

Leng Nuohan did not stay here for long. In her mind, Gongsun Zaitian must have thought of a way to transfer away the Sword League's main force and then set fire to the attacking Sword Alliance station. From the looks of it, he would probably return to the manor very soon.

After making up his mind, Leng Nuohan turned around and disappeared from the rooftop. Her appearance was exactly the same as her disappearance; When Leng Nuohan returned, he was not at the same speed as before. Instead, he was enjoying the cool night wind as he hurried in the direction of the Boxer Mansion.

Grand Elder of the Sword Alliance and the rest rushed back to the base as fast as they could after receiving the alarm. If anything happened to the base, it would be hard to explain it to the Alliance Master. Moreover, there was another important reason that the Great Clan Elder did not mention, and that was that amongst the luggage that he had brought with him on this trip to the Capital, there was a priceless treasure that he had prepared to present to the current dynasty's Ninth Prince. If this treasure was destroyed by a huge fire, then he would have to blame it for his death. Thinking of this, the Great Elder led the group. From time to time, he urged everyone to hurry up and make haste.

However, just as the Great Elder and company were about to arrive at the city walls, suddenly, a rain of arrows shot from a dark place outside the city walls. However, just as the Great Elder and company were about to arrive at the city gates, a rain of arrows suddenly shot from a dark place outside the city walls.

However, at this moment, there was no time for the northern guards to think because of the first rain of arrows. Many soldiers were injured on the city gate. Although the injuries were not serious, such actions were intolerable. Thus, the guard hastily pulled the city's security alarm bell.

This kind of city defense alarm bell could only be rung when an army was attacking the city. A city located in the depths of the city would probably never ring it once in its lifetime. However, today, the city defense alarm bell had been rung.

Along with the sound of the alarm, the military forces of the North City Guards Institution immediately climbed up the city walls as soon as the alarm was sounded. They drew their bows and prepared to face the first wave of attacks. At the same time, the eastern and western part of the city also ascended the city walls, paying close attention to the situation beneath the city. At the same time, they didn't forget to send a portion of their troops to the south of the city to assist the garrison.

At this time, the city guards' leader in the Commander's Manor was also panic-stricken ? "Scram!" "Scram!" "Scram!" "Scram!" "Ssssssssssssssssss!" "Ssssssssssssss!" "" Ssssssssssssssssss! "

"Men, go to the north side of the city and ask around. Fast! "F * ck!" The commander had already checked the armor with the help of his janissaries. At the same time, he shouted at the messenger at the side.

"Master, what happened? Why do I feel like I heard the city's security bell being pulled?" Not long after the messenger had left, the deputy general who had left earlier hurriedly came back and asked in confusion.

"I don't know, why am I so unlucky!" "You came at the perfect time. Quickly follow me to the north of the city. I want to see who exactly is the one that attacked the prefectural city in the heart of the empire!" The commander said to the deputy general as he hung his sword on his waist.

After leaving the manor, there were soldiers who brought their horses over. The soldiers led their subordinates and galloped towards the north of the city.
