A large amount of kerosene was stored in this small warehouse. When the burning flame crystal fell into it, blazing flames immediately shot up from it.

Such a house burning should have been a very important event, but in fact, in the current broad city, it no longer attracts too many people's attention. After all, in the vast city now where there are wolf smoke and killings everywhere, and a small warehouse burning, naturally it cannot attract too many people's attention.

It didn't attract too many people's attention, but it wasn't that no one noticed. At least a middle-aged man on the city wall immediately noticed the changes below.

From the clothes worn by the man, it can be seen that he is a warrior of the Wang family, and the fact that this man can appear on the watchtower on the side of the city gate shows that his status is not low.

This man had been paying attention to the tea shop below, so when the warehouse in the backyard of the tea shop caught fire, his eyes immediately flashed with brilliance.

The corners of his mouth slowly raised, and the man murmured with a faint smile: "Shu Jia finally sent a signal. It seems that everything should be ready. Calculating the time, I got it just right!"

While the man was talking to himself, he slowly raised his head to look at the sun in the sky. In this simplest way, he could judge the approximate time.

"Suma, tell the brothers that it's time to switch defenses and let everyone go down to have a rest and eat something."

The man spoke to the lower floor of the watchtower. There was a man wearing plain clothes over there. Hearing this, he couldn't help looking over with a smile, and said half-jokingly.

"Why did Flag Officer Wang Neng change his defense so early today? Normally it would be at least a quarter of an hour later. That team of people were on duty at midnight yesterday, and they probably just got up to eat now."

The man named Wang Neng was obviously in the same group as Na Shujia. The title "Flag Officer" was added to the end of his name. His status at the city gate was second only to the Chief Flag Officer, which was considered a high status.

With a faint smile, Wang Neng said nonchalantly: "The real battle is in the city. No matter how violent it is inside, it will not affect us. It will not be easy for everyone in the cold wind this morning. I will lead a few I’ll stay here and keep an eye on it for a while. You guys should go down early and warm yourself up. Go, go.”

The man named Su Ma nodded, and then greeted the surrounding people: "Listen, everyone, Wang Qiguan has taken care of everyone's hard work in defending the city, and asked us to change our defenses in advance. Everyone should seize the time to go down and warm up before eating. Hurry up. Thank you Mr. Wang Qiguan.”

As soon as his voice fell, he heard intermittent shouts of "good" coming from around him, as well as voices shouting "thank you" to Wang Neng.

Wang Qiguan had a smile on his face and said: "Stop being so polite here, go down to the city to rest quickly, go, go."

Seeing those warriors descending the steps not far from the side of the watchtower one after another, Wang Neng's bright smile also turned gloomy, and an icy cold light flashed in his eyes.

The people walking down the steps were all beaming with joy. A Su family warrior came close to Su Ma and lowered his voice and asked: "Boss, this Wang Neng made a mistake today. He usually wants to steal something." Anyone who is lazy will be scolded like crazy, but today he showed great kindness and let us people from the Su family go down to rest first.”

Na Suma gently rubbed the stiff palms and backs of her hands, smacked her lips and said, "Brother, I find it strange too. This Wang Neng is usually extremely mean, so how could he be so kind-hearted today. "

Suddenly shaking his head, Suma waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "What the hell, it was him who gave the order anyway. Everyone heard it clearly, and a lot of people from the Wang family also followed him down. If this is investigated in the future, it has nothing to do with us.”

The little warrior next to him heard the same thing, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He squeezed Soma with his shoulder and said, "This body is completely frozen. I have to do whatever it takes to stay warm..." As he said this, he held his hand He made an empty fist, as if he was holding an invisible wine glass and drinking it in one gulp.

"You little bastard, you want to steal my little bit of wine again. No, no, no, if you drink until the New Year, there won't be any left." Suma shook her head like a rattle and flatly rejected the proposal.

The person next to him put his arm around Su Ma's shoulders and said with a smile: "You can't let Brother Ma spend money every time. I also have a little secret, I'm the host, I'm the host."

Suma, who had an impatient look on her face, immediately burst into laughter, slapped the young man next to her heavily on the shoulder, and said with a loud smile: "Good boy, if you still have a conscience, let's go!"

These people walked straight down the steps built on the side of the city wall, talking and laughing along the way, as if what happened in the city had little to do with them.

In fact, Kuocheng's city guards have always been like this. For many years, the battles in Kuocheng have basically been inside or outside the city, but they rarely appear at the city gates or walls. The reason is very simple, that is, no enemy can really shake the walls of Kuocheng. To be more precise, no one can shake the city defense formation of Kuocheng.

Especially since the entire city guard has eliminated the ghost painters, and the rest are all plain Wang family warriors, naturally everyone has nothing to worry about anymore.

Not far from the city gate of Kuocheng, there is a group of people leaning on the top floor of the famous "An Yi Pavilion" with hooked railings, looking at the city gate.

When the fire started in the warehouse, the people upstairs in Anyi Pavilion had already noticed it immediately. The man named Hongwan smiled faintly and said, "As Sister Xuan guessed, these guys did use this method to send messages. It seems that they should be ready."

The woman called Sister Xuan was Yanzhi, the guest official under the former head shopkeeper. At this time, she had changed into a black dress. The color was as dark as night, and the clothes were specially cut very tightly, which fully showed her exquisite and curvy figure. It was no wonder that the man named Hongwan kept looking up and down while speaking.

"Humph, I have been following the Lin family for so long, but I still can't figure out this style of behavior. When I saw their people retreating from the surroundings, I guessed that they would take action next."

Smiling coldly, Yanzhi, who used the name "Xuanyi" again, said very confidently. It is not difficult to hear her resentment towards the Lin family between her words.

Instead, the middle-aged man spoke again: "Since we want to disrupt their actions, we should start now. If it's too late, they will probably succeed."

"Success? What success are you talking about?" Xuanyi raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked calmly with a meaningful smile.

This time, Hongwan looked puzzled and asked: "Aren't we going to completely destroy their plan? These guys want to attack both inside and outside the city, mainly to open the city gate and welcome the group of ghost beasts led by Minghai outside the city.

We can only start before they seize the city gate, so that we can destroy all their plots in one fell swoop, and we can work together with the city guards to give them the final blow."

Houyi frowned slightly, but suddenly asked, "Then...what's the benefit for us?"

Opening his eyes wide in astonishment, Hongwan was a little confused for a while, and opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. Because the other party suddenly asked, he realized that if he did it according to his own ideas, he might not have any benefits, and it was just for revenge.

After thinking for a while, Hong Wan slowly realized that the direction of his initial thinking was wrong. Although Xuan Yi came with a lot of anger, he was definitely not just seeking revenge.

Hong Wan, who had a little more understanding, asked tentatively: "Are you planning to put Ming Hai into the city?"

When he saw Xuan Yi nodded gently, Hong Wan opened his mouth in shock and said: "Ming Hai and the others had an agreement with the Lin family in advance, and this Kuo City was also the main part of their agreement to divide. If we take action..."

When he was halfway through his words, Hong Wan's voice gradually lowered, as if he had figured it out a little more.

Xuan Yi smiled at Hong Wan, nodded, and said: "You are right, they did have an agreement with each other, but don't we have a cooperative relationship with the Nether Clan?

We did agree with the Nether Clan to cooperate in the Fengtian Dynasty, but we never promised the Xuanwu Empire that we would not interfere. We suffered a great loss in the affairs of the imperial capital, and now we have to get back what we lost.

If there are still people from the Lin family in Kuo City, the Nether Clan will continue to cooperate with them, but if there are only people from our Qianhuan Sect in Kuo City, who do you think the Nether Clan will cooperate with?"

Hearing Xuan Yi's question, Hong Wan's face became inexplicably surprised. He originally regarded this action as a way to vent Xuan Yi's anger. As a result, he now knows that Xuan Yi's appetite is so big that he wants to destroy the Lin family and divide Kuo City with the Nether Clan.

He didn't know that Xuan Yi's original plan was not just to take Kuo City, but to secretly destroy the Lin family after the Lin family took Kuo City, and even after the Lin family closed the door, to help the Qianhuan Sect get the entire southern part of Xuanwu.

In this way, together with the northern area of ​​the Fengtian Dynasty, the territory in the hands of the Qianhuan Sect and the Nether Clan is almost comparable to an empire.

But like other people in the Lin family, even this spy Xuan Yi was a little unprepared for the sudden change in the situation. Although she wanted to retaliate with anger, she was definitely not a person who acted on impulse, so she had already made plans before contacting Hong Wan and others.

Since the subsequent plan is not easy to carry out, it is better to first deal with all the people of the Lin family in Kuo City and take control of this important Kuo City. Her considerations and weighings are in line with the saying on the prairie, "A thousand sheep in sight are not as good as one sheep in hand."
