Chapter four hundred and sixty sixth fire burning Yixianlou

"Ruwei, if you don't leave, it will be too late. The Jiangning government office deceived Brother Yin and Senior Zizhu into the government office for secret arrest. This was the prelude to the start of the action. The Southern Tang State Procuratorate is about to close the net. It's better to leave as soon as possible! Transfer.

Go to a secret place to hide first, and then discuss the next strategy." Yin Zhantu explained anxiously.

At first, the disappearance of Yin Jianzhan and Zizhu Taoist did not cause Yin Zhantu to think about the worse. He thought that it was just Han Yuanming who instigated Tu Zhengwei to do it for the purpose of extorting Yixianlou. When he saw the prisoner

Only after Yin Jianzhan and Taoist Zizhu retreated to the secret courtyard did they realize the seriousness of the situation and prepare to launch a major operation to destroy Yixian Tower.

"Brother Yin, is it really that serious? I think there are just some people disguised as traders and civilians monitoring Yixian Tower. It can't be that serious, right?" Li Ruwei said dubiously.

Just when Li Ruwei finished speaking, a Mei Ji hurriedly ran into the lobby of Yixian Building from outside, and breathlessly said to Li Ruwei: "Sister Wei... something bad is going to happen! Check...

The Procuratorate is going to attack Yixian Tower."

Li Ruwei was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Is the news reliable? Where did you hear it?"

Mei Ji took a breath and continued to reply: "My best friend is a spy from the Procuratorate. What he told me just now was that he had received an order from the eldest prince Li Hongji, and he was going to dispatch the Procuratorate in the middle of the night.

More than a thousand people from the Bao Tao Guard came to Yixian Tower to arrest people. Anyone who refuses will be killed without mercy. Sister Wei, run away quickly, before it's too late."

Only then did Li Ruwei feel that the matter was serious. It seemed that the premonition of the printed exhibition map was well-founded. She looked at the printed exhibition map, then at the others, and said, "Close the door quickly." Zhang Sujian and Hun Zhiyu

When someone was closer to the door, he hurried over and closed all the open doors and windows.

Seeing that the doors and windows were all closed tightly, Li Ruwei said mysteriously: "Everyone, line up and follow me."

After saying that, she twisted her waist and walked towards the kitchen of Yixian Building.

The printed exhibition pictures followed closely, followed by Han Ning, Zhang Sujian, Hun Zhiyu, Zhao Cuiliu and others.

After arriving in the kitchen, Li Ruwei first took out some firecrackers from the storage room, then brought over two barrels of tung oil and said, "Since they are coming to arrest us, we can't leave anything good for them even if we run away.

Give them a big fire!"

"This is a good idea, but it's a pity that this is a majestic Yixian Tower, which cost so much money to build." Zhang Sujian couldn't help but regretted when he heard that Li Ruwei wanted to burn down the Yixian Tower.

"Do not stick to trivial matters when doing big things. Su Jian, if Yixian Tower is destroyed, it can still be rebuilt. If we are taken over by others, there will be no chance of rebuilding Yixian Tower. Even the masters of the Procuratorate's Office can be burned to death."

It’s worth it.”

Zhao Cuiliu, who was behind him, interrupted.

Just as they were told, everyone poured tung oil all over the upstairs and downstairs, and then placed the firecrackers in the direction of the flow of tung oil.

Seeing that everything was ready, Li Ruwei moved the big pot on the stove to expose the stove pit. Then, she moved a brick on the side of the stove. The stone slab in the stove pit moved slowly, and a black hole appeared.

entrance of the cave.

"Have you been prepared for this?" Yin Zhantu said in surprise as he looked at the entrance of the cave.

Li Ruwei took another half of a candle from the stove, lit it with a fire, and placed it next to the fuse of the firecracker. If the candle burned out, it would ignite the fuse and light the firecracker.

"In the battle of Xiaoxian Pavilion in Yangzhou, although we successfully broke out, everyone was injured. Therefore, when Mr. Shen took us to Jiangning Mansion to build Yixian Pavilion, he dug a secret passage to escape in advance. Just in case, it is the so-called cunning rabbit's three caves. This secret passage leads to a large house across the street behind Yixian House. That house was bought by us. We usually put some sundries in it, which is not eye-catching and generally does not cause any trouble. The government is paying attention. Come on, let's go, follow me closely."

After saying that, Li Ruwei took a torch and jumped into the dark hole.

Yin Zhantu looked back at Han Ning, sent Han Ning into the secret passage first, and then followed him into the secret passage.

Zhang Sujian asked Hun Zhiyu to follow him, and decided to cut off the rear himself and go down last.

When everyone went in, Zhang Sujian glanced at the half-burning candle and saw that the fuse of the firecracker was about to be burned. He also jumped into the secret passage. Thinking that the entrance of the cave could not be left open like this, he was at the entrance of the secret passage. After groping around for a while, I finally found the mechanism, turned it, and sealed the entrance.

After everything was in order, he continued to move forward in the secret passage with confidence.

Every ten steps in the secret passage, there is a lamp bowl, which is shining with fire for lighting, so walking is not too strenuous. Zhang Sujian quickened his pace, and finally caught up with the person who was walking in front of him before leaving the secret passage. The girl in the cave who reported the news.

After exiting the secret passage, I saw that the sky was illuminated by fire as if it were daytime. It turned out that Yixian Tower had been ignited. The huge wooden building had turned into a flame tower, with flames rising into the sky and a heat wave hitting people.

Li Ruwei and the others who were the first to come out of the secret passage were standing in the yard watching the fire. Zhang Sujian also came to the yard and heard a burst of beeping noises, mixed with some noisy cries, echoing in the night sky.

"Ruwei, your plan worked! It's so wonderful!" Yin Zhantu praised as he looked at the spectacular scene in front of him.

While watching the excitement, suddenly there was the sound of horse hooves outside the yard, and someone shouted: "Please be smart! I have surrounded the backyard of Yixian Tower. The eldest prince has an order, anyone who finds Yixian Tower Anyone who traces a group of thieves will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver. We Bao Tao Guards can't be like the trash in the Procuratorate's Office and throw a dozen lives into Yixian Tower and still get nothing!"

It turned out that they were the soldiers of the Baotao Guard of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the person shouting the message was their commander Wei Sheng.

"Thankfully we escaped in time, otherwise we would have been trapped in the urn. Even if we risked our lives, we would still be unable to escape." Li Ruwei took a breath and said softly.

Thinking of this, Li Ruwei looked at the print exhibition with admiration, nodded, and gave him a thumbs up.

Yin Zhantu smiled and said: "By the way, don't forget to pass on the news of the burning of Yixian Tower to Mr. Shen and others. Otherwise, they will not understand the situation and be easily taken away by the people from the Procuratorate. "

"Don't worry! At dawn, I will send a letter to Mr. Shen via flying pigeons to ensure that they will not be captured by the Southern Tang government." Li Ruwei replied with a smile like a flower.
