When he arrived, the entire courtyard had been engulfed in flames, and the pungent smell of fire oil overflowed.
"Kerol, you beasts!"
Kanbao roared angrily and drew out the sword from his waist. Several servants holding swords were cut in half. Their bodies were covered with spiritual armor and they rushed into the sea of fire regardless.
"Sister, let's go. This matter has become a big deal, and it's hard for the Marquis to explain it!" Zhang Fugui held a knife in his hand and looked at Kanbao, who was as crazy as a tiger. He couldn't help but shrink his neck and whispered to Zhang beside him.
Shi.
"Hmph, my Zhang family is the largest clan in the southwest, but I just killed a concubine. What do they dare to do to me?" Although Zhang said hard, she still felt a little weak in her heart. She snorted, turned around and walked back.
"Quickly, pack up the guys and follow us." Zhang Fugui hurriedly called to his men and hurriedly ran away.
He originally received an order from Li Wenheng to lead troops to support the Kunshan granary. However, he was afraid of death and ran back to Qingyang when he heard about a rebel army attacking Kunshan on the way.
Afterwards, Kunshan fell. In order to avoid punishment, he simply worked as an errand beside Zhang, and now he became an accomplice in killing the fourth lady.
"Wenxiu, Wenxiu!"
Kanbao tried his best to release his spiritual power, maintain the spiritual armor on his body, and search everywhere in the sea of fire. Although he found seven or eight female corpses, they had all been burned to coke, so how could he distinguish them.
"Child, no child found!"
Kanbao stared with scarlet eyes and suddenly realized that there was no trace of the child here.
Even if they are burned with kerosene, a five-year-old or a three-year-old child can still score.
"Backyard rockery!" Kanbao blurted out and rushed to the backyard like crazy.
There is a hidden cave in the rockery in the backyard. The two little naughty boys usually like to hide in it and hide and seek. Now it has become his only hope. Otherwise, his wife and children will die, and he will not be able to survive.
"boom,"
Kanbao pushed aside the collapsed rubble, and inside the hidden cave, there were two cute little people, with tears on their faces, weakly clinging to each other.
"Daddy, wuwu, I'm afraid!"
"Oh, oh, I want my mother."
"Doudou, stone!" At this moment, Kanbao couldn't bear it anymore, and tears burst out. The iron-clad man cried like a child.
"Don't cry, daddy will take you away!" Kanbao picked up the child, covered it with spiritual power, took advantage of the chaos and left from the back wall, heading straight to the military camp outside the city.
At this time, he was full of hatred: "Zhang family, I, Kanbao, swear to God that I will destroy your entire Zhang family in my lifetime!"
When Qingyang Hou Li Longji, military advisor Cui Baihou and others arrived, all the buildings in the small courtyard collapsed. An ordinary fire would certainly not be so fierce, but it would be different if it was doused with kerosene.
"This, this is kerosene!"
Li Longji's face turned ugly when he smelled the smell of fire oil. He had previously held extravagant hopes that the eldest lady could at most vent her anger and he could still cover up some of it.
But he never expected that Mrs. Zhang would be so crazy and use kerosene. The smell was so strong that the entire Hou Mansion could smell it. How could he cover it up?
At this time, what he was thinking about was how to cover it up and prevent the scandal from spreading, rather than the safety of his fourth daughter and her son.
"Master Hou, no one in the fourth lady's yard survived!" A guard from the Hou Mansion who arrived in advance stepped forward to report.
"Where's Kan Bao? He didn't come here first, why didn't he see anyone?" Li Longji asked with a dark face. He had more than a dozen children, and he didn't care if a concubine died. What he cared about was Kan Bao.
Although Kanbao is young and has the lowest level among the four generals including Dwarf Lion, he has the best talent and is the one most likely to be promoted to the fifth level.
"Master Marquis, as soon as General Kanbao arrived, he rushed into the scene of the fire and was never seen again," the guard said.
"Oh, put out the fire quickly and go in and search!" Li Longji hurriedly ordered.
Half an hour later, the fire was extinguished, and a group of people searched among the ashes, but found nothing more than a dozen charred corpses.
"Quickly, take a closer look to see if there are any leopards among these corpses!" Li Longji became a little anxious and ordered his men to identify them one by one.
"Master Marquis, no, send someone to the military camp outside the city quickly!" Military Advisor Cui Baihou looked at the corpses sorted out. Suddenly his face changed and he shouted: "There are no corpses of children here. They must have been rescued by Kanbao."
Let’s go!”
"You mean, Kanbao is going to rebel?" Li Longji opened his mouth wide and couldn't believe it.
Doshi, Qiao Lang, Zunhu, and Kanbao were sworn brothers, and Doshi was his adopted brother, so he was absolutely at ease.
"Master Hou, when is this happening? It's good if Kanbao isn't crazy, why would he care about the bond of friendship!" Military advisor Cui Baihou stamped his feet anxiously.
"Quickly, send people to the military camp outside the city and stop Kanbao!" Li Longji hurriedly ordered as if he had just woken up from a dream.
"Report, General Kanbao led a vanguard battalion of 20,000 people, killed Lieutenant General Li Li, and headed north!"
Just at this time, the sentry came to report urgently. Li Longji couldn't stand firmly after hearing this, and spat out a mouthful of blood: "Kanbao, I treat you badly, but you rebelled against a woman, shameful!"
The generals who came around after hearing the news had ugly expressions and disdainful eyes when they heard this.
Your wife has harmed her whole family, and yet you still claim that she treats you badly and that she is shameless. It is really shameless.
"Master Marquis, the top priority is to inform the Dwarf Lion as soon as possible. General Zunhu will lead his troops to intercept. The 20,000 forward battalion is the elite of our army. We must not be taken away by Kanbao!" Military Advisor Cui Baihou shouted.
"Yes, Kanbao will definitely go find Xiao Qi's traitor, and immediately send a message to Dwarf Lion, General Zunhu, to stop Kanbao." Li Longji ordered angrily and loudly.
"Master Hou, if the seventh young master learns that his sister has been killed, have you ever thought about the consequences?" After a long while, Cui Baihou said something faintly, looking up to the sky and speechless.
Even if he has never looked up to Li Wenhao, he still has to worry about the wrath of a marquis at this time.
"Xiaoqi?" Li Longji took a breath of air. Only then did he remember that his fourth daughter Li Wenxiu was Li Wenhao's biological sister!
The blood curse has caused the family to break away. How can we let it go now that our own sister is dead?
"It's broken, Heng'er!"
Li Longji returned to his residence angrily, kicked open the bedroom door, pointed at Zhang who looked indifferent, and yelled: "You stupid woman, you killed Wenxiu, have you ever thought about Heng'er?
Xiaoqi knows that his sister was harmed by you, how can he let Heng'er go?"
"Ah!" Zhang stood up suddenly and turned pale. When she learned that Li Wenhao had been granted the title of Marquis, she felt extremely jealous.
She felt that Li Wenhao had robbed her son of the throne, and she was filled with revenge.
After hearing Li Longji's angry scolding, he realized that his precious son's life was still in Li Wenhao's hands, and he panicked for a moment.
"Master Hou, you must save Heng'er, but you must not let that traitor Xiao Qi harm Heng'er's life."
"Huh, it's all your fault!" Li Longji angrily tossed his sleeves and walked away. Now he has to write a letter to Xiaoqi himself. Xiaoqi uses reason to move people's emotions, and he must not harm his concubine!
"Come here, go deliver a message to my brother Chuanzhong Hou, asking him to warn Li Wenhao not to harm my son's life." After Li Longji left, Mrs. Zhang was still worried and immediately sent someone to deliver a message to her own brother.
The reason why she is so arrogant and domineering in the Li Mansion is because her younger brother Zhang Sixen is the Marquis of Sichuan, and the Sichuan Commandery has abundant soldiers and supplies, and is the overlord of the southwest region!
What Zhang didn't expect was that when the news spread, it caused a strong backlash from Li's children.
Before everyone could recover from the news of Li Wenhao becoming a marquis and leaving the family, they also heard the news that Zhang killed the fourth lady and Kan Bao led his troops to rebel in anger.
It's so appalling, how can you not be angry.
"Kill Zhang's poisonous woman and bring peace to my Li family!"
"Abolish the head of the family and change the title of marquis!"
"If the Li family is like this, it's better to leave!"
Not only were the Li family's children clamoring to get rid of the Zhang family and depose the head of the family, but many of the staff and branch children were also disheartened and packed up their bags to leave. Most of those who left actually went to Langya.
When things got to this point, Li Longji couldn't bear the pressure and restrained the eldest lady as punishment.
