Chapter 26 Fire

 Youluzi Street was brightly illuminated by torches and lanterns.

Thousands of guards will have a safe journey, Fuyin Descendants' two coffin shops are surrounded by water, and there are thousands of local ghosts outside, completely blocking the nearby streets and alleys.

Trained falcons flew silently in the sky, and beside the warriors on the ground, ferocious hounds roared low.

On the tops of tall buildings everywhere, there are sharp-eyed archers looking around.

With a cry, a group of guards armed with hammers, iron whips, and large shields broke open the store doors and rushed into the two coffin shops.

Soon, the skinny old man who had just bought a coffin from the coffin shop and two men in white were escorted out by the guards.

The skinny old man's face was slightly blue, and he jumped on his feet and yelled and cursed loudly.

"I am the steward of Uncle Dongqi, and I am the son of Uncle Dongqi!"

"What are you doing? What are you doing?"

"Why should you arrest me? Why should you arrest me?"

"Come on, help me. The eunuchs of the palace guards are causing trouble to the princes. These eggless bastards, the palace guards, are going to attack the princes!"

The faces of the palace guards present, from the general downwards, all the lieutenants, warriors, supervisors, and even the ghosts on the outskirts all turned ugly.

Immediately, a red-robed general and a group of subordinates surrounded him.

Two men in white put their hands on the handles of their swords and looked coldly at the guards who came up from all around. One of the men said coldly: "We are the sword guards of the Haojian Palace."

The two men's bodies did not move, their long swords clanged loudly in their scabbards, and the sword intent swept across all directions. Everyone within a radius of ten feet felt cold.

Standing next to Lu Qian, Lu Tianxing's brother-in-law, the eight-star general Luo Qingzhou, the palace guard, waved his hand and snorted coldly.

The red-robed general who led the people around him stopped when he heard the sound. He glanced at the two men in white with fear, and said coldly to the skinny old man: "Shut up, the palace guard's actions have nothing to do with you.

Stand aside."

When the skinny old man heard these words, he who was originally frightened immediately became energetic.

He straightened his back, pointed at the red-robed general, and said arrogantly: "In that case, there are three coffins we ordered in that shop. Don't... break them for me."

The skinny old man's eyes were darting around, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Luo Qingzhou glanced at him, snorted again, and then looked at Lu Qian, who was standing beside him, silently using the Canghai Jin Yuangang to dispel the terrible coldness that had invaded his arms.

"You, Lu Qian?" Luo Qingzhou asked pleasantly.

"Subordinate Lu Qian." Lu Qian smiled and cupped his hands towards Luo Qingzhou.

"Hmm." Luo Qingzhou nodded: "I see your facial features and stature, and you look a bit familiar. Especially your burly appearance. Eighteen years ago, no, now, it's nineteen years ago.

, in the Haojing Yulin Army, there is a Yulin Zhonglang named 'Lu Xiu', who is he?"

When Lu Qian heard this, he stood up straight and respectfully gave Luo Qingzhou a fist: "That is my grandfather. It's just..."

Luo Qingzhou laughed, patted Lu Qian's shoulder with one hand, and said with a smile: "Then, we are serious members of our own people. I was born in the Yulin Army, and I was lucky enough to serve as a captain under Lu Zhonglang.

Job."

"Oh, back then, Lu Zhonglang was all powerful and had a chiseled gold spear. It was the first spear among the 'three swords', 'three axes' and 'six flying spears' in Hao Jing Yulin's army. Tsk tsk. Once Yulin

In the internal competition of the army, he single-handedly challenged fifty-four generals of the Yulin Army with one horse and one spear, and was awarded the flying tiger robe and dragon scale armor by the Emperor. That's such a great reputation, tsk tsk!"

Luo Qingzhou said to Lu Qian with a smile on his face: "Since he is the young master of Lu Zhonglang's family, he is truly one of his own family. From now on, if you have anything to do with the palace guard, come to me directly."

Luo Qingzhou gently patted Lu Qian's shoulder again, looking particularly affectionate.

Lu Qian was stunned for a long time, and then he smiled and said: "I will obey the general's words, but I didn't expect that my grandfather, his subordinates, have never heard of these things."

Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said with emotion: "It's no wonder, after all, hey, I won't talk about what happened back then. In short, we will interact more and get closer in the future."

On the side were a group of captains belonging to the palace guard, and the warriors were so jealous that their eyes were red.

Especially the three three-tailed black scorpion brothers who had just joined Lu Qian as guards today, they were staring at Lu Qian intently, their eyes were like little knives, wanting to dig out a piece of flesh from him.

Everyone has one head and two hands, so why are the three brothers still struggling to climb up from the bottom of the prison, and Lu Qian suddenly entered the eyes of their immediate boss's immediate boss?

"You're a son of a dog-popping family!" At this moment, countless people were yelling abuse in their hearts.

Footsteps sounded, and just when Luo Qingzhou was deliberately chatting with Lu Qian, in two coffin shops, two shopkeepers, together with a dozen waiters, more than a hundred craftsmen, Lifu, and a group of servants, etc.

One by one, expressionless, they were escorted out by the guards.

"Them?" Luo Qingzhou asked Lu Qian softly.

"I can guarantee that they are related to the ghost sedan." Lu Qian also softly replied.

The shopkeepers of the two families were now wailing feebly and dryly at the top of their voices.

"Gentlemen, what have we done?"

"We have always followed the rules and we abide by the law."

"We don't miss a penny in our monthly taxes."

"The benefits we should give you are all given according to the regulations."

Several strong men rushed forward, raised their big palms, and slapped the two of them. The two shopkeepers were beaten indiscriminately, and blood oozed from the corners of their mouths.

There was a loud crashing sound in the two coffin shops, and the supervisors were rummaging through them inch by inch.

Not far away, a school captain came flying with a group of subordinates.

The captain ran up to Luo Qingzhou and hissed with a look of shock on his face: "Sir, everyone on the Rongsheng, from the shopkeeper to the waiter, to the jewelry masters and servants, are all dead.

His body shriveled and he died."

The Rongsheng was the gold shop where the Luanfeng sedan rushed out just now to attack Lu Qian and Lao He.

Lu Qian directed Luo Qingzhou to bring people here to surround the two coffin shops, leaving a team of people to investigate the gold shop site.

After listening to the captain's report, Luo Qingzhou walked up to the two shopkeepers, whose bodies were swaying and whose cheeks were red, swollen and bloodshot, with his hands behind his back.

After looking the two shopkeepers up and down, Luo Qingzhou said softly: "You guys are evil!"

The two shopkeepers shouted in unison: "Sir, we are wronged, we did nothing!"

Luo Qingzhou shook his head and said in a deep voice: "No, you have ghosts. The decent and decent people in Haojing and above are as if they have seen ghosts when they see our brothers who are guarding the palace."

"I don't see fear in your eyes."

Luo Qingzhou said in a deep voice: "You have support and confidence. You are not afraid of us."

"If it's just you two shopkeepers who are like this, I might think that behind your two coffin shops, there are high officials in the court as your backers. Or maybe you are well-informed and have met many high-ranking officials.

Noble sir, that’s why you don’t take me as a mere palace guard general in your eyes.”

"But you two shopkeepers can ignore me, but the waiters, craftsmen, laborers, and even the handymen and rough-and-tumble girls under you are all so plain and calm, and there's something wrong with that.

"

The bodies of the two shopkeepers stopped shaking.

Their expressions also returned to calmness.

They stared directly at Luo Qingzhou. Shopkeeper An of the Safe Journey said with a dry smile: "So, if I'm not afraid of you, I'm guilty? Oh, why should we be afraid?"

Luo Qingzhou clapped his hands suddenly and laughed loudly: "Here, there, there, now it's revealed, isn't it? Tianxing, you have to be more practical in your future work. Look, little brother Lu Qian has just joined the palace guard.

, someone who can expose this, you have been guarding these two streets and alleys for several years, right? Why didn’t you realize that these two shopkeepers are such great people?"

Lu Tianxing looked at his brother-in-law with a embarrassed expression.

He looked at Lu Qian, who was standing aside, and said dryly with a smile: "General Mingjian, these two coffin shops are both time-honored brands in Fengdiaofang for more than 200 years. Who would have thought that there is something wrong with them?"

Luo Qingzhou laughed "haha", he pointed at the two coffin shops in front of him, and said coldly: "Arrest him and send him to the secret prison. Let's see..."

The shopkeeper of the descendants of Fuyin, Chichi, laughed: "You eggless castrates have very good noses. Since I slaughtered some of you losers years ago, I thought you might check it out.

On our heads."

"But, I didn't expect that you guys would actually figure it out."

"It's a pity. We have carefully run these two shops for so many years. Hey, how many great things have been done?"

Luo Qingzhou's eyes narrowed: "A big thing? What big thing? If you open a coffin shop, what other big things can you do?"

Shopkeeper An, who had a safe journey, laughed loudly: "You have no chance to know. Ha, ha, ha!"

There was no smile on Luo Qingzhou's face anymore. He shouted sternly: "Come here, arrest them, and send them back to the secret prison for torture. I want..."

From a high place, an archer who was patrolling around with a strong bow suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "General, Sijifang, in the direction of Sijifang, there are fires, there are fires, there are several fire heads,

Hey, the wind is strong and the fire is spreading!"

The expressions of Luo Qingzhou and all his subordinates changed suddenly.

They all jumped into the air, landed on the roof of the roadside, and looked in the direction of Sijifang.

Sijifang is right next to the two streets and one lane where Lu Tianxing is on duty, less than three miles away.

At this moment, there were already fires over there, and the large firelight turned half of the sky red.

The cold wind blew light snow, pushing the fire to spread in all directions. From afar, hoarse noises could be heard, the whistle of Wu Hou patrolling the streets, and the gong of the watchman who was on duty day and night.

Luo Qingzhou was immediately confused.

Lu Tianxing is only a three-star warrior, and he is responsible for guarding only a small area of ​​​​these two streets and alleys.

And Luo Qingzhou is the Eight-Star General, and the entire Fengdiaofang, and even several cities around Fengdiaofang, are all under his jurisdiction.

Not to mention that Fengdiaofang is a first-class city, the surrounding cities are all second-class cities, and the residents are all dignitaries, celebrities and sages.

Let’s just say a Sijifang.

If something happens to the princes' hostages inside, Luo Qingzhou can't chop off a hundred heads!

"Go, put out the fire, save people!"

Luo Qingzhou screamed at the top of his lungs: "Send someone to ask the Supervisor for help, and ask the Palace Guard Headquarters to send out manpower to help suppress it!"

Before he finished speaking, everyone in the two coffin shops, from the shopkeeper down, took out thumb-sized projectiles from their waists at the same time, and started hitting them in all directions with a "pop, bang, bang".
