Huo Changxian stared at the steward, but the steward's eyes flickered slightly.

"When the farming is busy, I temporarily find people from nearby villages to pay more wages, which is easy to turn over. The county owner means that if this manor is not profitable, we should try to reduce costs as much as possible. "

This statement barely made sense, but Huo Changxian always felt that something was not right.

Just as he was about to ask again, Qi Tianmeng said, "Aren't you here to investigate the fire? Let's talk about this first."

As for how many people are working, he doesn't care, that's not his business.

Huo Changxian nodded: "Tell me about the fire. Who discovered it?"

A servant said: "Back to the young master, it's... it's a villain. The villain was cleaning up the fallen leaves nearby and picking up the remaining millet. Suddenly he saw smoke coming from here. In the blink of an eye, it was thick smoke. Before he got close, it became Fire.”

"I suddenly feel angry, and there's no one else?" Huo Changxian asked.

"No, no, indeed not."

The steward replied: "What he said is indeed true. After the villain learned about it, he quickly checked around and found no one else."

Huo Changxian sneered: "How to check? Are you running around all alone?"

Steward: "..."

Qi Tian glanced at Huo Changxian, took a step forward, pulled out his knife and picked up a small piece of wood that had not yet burned out from the ashes.

Yan Ruyu was observing his movements from a distance, and saw him blowing on the fire. The sparks suddenly became more intense, and traces of smoke filled his nose.

I heard Qi Tianmeng say to Huo Changxian: "Someone set this fire on purpose."

Yan Ruyu raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Someone deliberately set a fire?" Huo Changxian glanced at the steward, "Didn't you say you didn't see anyone else?"

Qi Tianmeng said: "There is indeed no one, but it was tampered with beforehand. Someone sprinkled a kind of powder on it, which is extremely flammable."

He looked up at the sky: "The weather has been sunny these past few days, especially at noon, when the sun is shining, it is not difficult to start a fire."

Qi Tianmeng said in final words: "This is man-made, not an accident."

Huo Changxian looked at the nearly burning wooden stick and frowned: "So, it is indeed very thoughtful."

He looked at the steward again: "What was originally planted here? Will someone find that kind of powder to burn it?"

Steward: "..."

"This villain doesn't understand this either. He only knows that it is a medicinal material. The county master didn't say it clearly. He only told him to take good care of it."

The steward lowered his head and Huo Changxian stared at him, not knowing whether he really didn't know or pretended not to know.

Huo Changxian's voice was full of anger: "I don't know about this, I don't know about that. If you don't know anything, how can you investigate?"

The steward pursed his lips: "My eldest son, the county leader said that as long as you find out the cause of the fire."

Huo Changxian's anger surged and he kicked him over: "This young master needs you to teach me how to do things?!"

Among the fruit trees, Yan Ruyu didn't care about Huo Changxian, and her curiosity was all about Qi Tianmeng. This man knew quite a lot, even Phosphate knew about it.

Escort travels around the world and comes into contact with many people. He is indeed a difficult person to deal with.

She was about to express her opinion to Huo Changhe in a low voice when Qi Tianmeng suddenly turned his head and looked over. His hands were faster than his head. Before he looked over, the hidden weapon had been released!

The next moment, he rose into the air, the knife unsheathed in the air, and the cold light was overwhelming, heading straight for Yan Ruyu!

Yan Ruyu held two swords in her hand, and was about to take the blow. Huo Changhe was faster, and the sword was already unsheathed. The soft sword was like a spiritual snake, and met Qi Tianmeng's sword in mid-air. It was extremely soft but twisted and broken.

Qi Tianmeng's eyes widened, with shock flashing across his eyes. He did not dare to underestimate the enemy at all. His broadsword did not dare touch the edge of the sword, and he changed his moves.

Yan Ruyu stared at it carefully, and only then did she fully understand what it meant to be a master's move, and the move was fatal.

She has never looked down upon herself, but at this time she also frankly admitted that if she met Qi Tianmeng, he would be no match for him.

Huo Changhe is accustomed to using swords and guns on the battlefield, and swords in close combat. He has seen too many fierce generals, and it is not easy to resolve them with great force.

Qi Tianmeng is obviously experienced in fighting and is not far behind.

But this was his first time meeting an opponent like Huo Changhe.

In the blink of an eye, after ten moves, Qi Tian shouted: "Who are you!"

Huo Changhe didn't answer, and his moves became faster and faster. Yan Ruyu quickly noticed that Huo Changhe's moves had changed somewhat after Qi Tianmeng asked that question.

In the past, it was both offensive and defensive, but now it is mainly offensive, and the angles are tricky.

Qi Tianmeng looked strong, giving people the illusion of bravery, but he was by no means a reckless and irritable person.

But after seeing Huo Changhe's current moves, he asked again: "Who are you?"

Yan Ruyu was slightly surprised, and she could tell that Qi Tianmeng was a little annoyed and a little surprised.

Huo Changhe's voice came from under the mask, with a hint of teasing: "The chosen one, one from a million, never thought that he would become someone else's guarding thug."

Qi Tian was startled, his heart was filled with anger, and his eyes were a little red.

The duel between masters is only a matter of millimeters.

In this moment of confusion, Huo Changhe swung his sword towards his neck!

Qi Tianmeng's pupils shrank sharply, and he twisted his body with all his strength to avoid the sword, but was inevitably hit on the shoulder.

Blood burst out immediately!

But he didn't seem to feel any pain. He didn't protect the wound when he landed. He handed the sword to his left hand and threw two cold rays with his right hand!

Huo Changhe stepped aside, Qi Tianmeng's eyes flashed with ferocity, and a third cold light followed closely, hitting Yan Ruyu directly.

Yan Ruyu was concentrating on watching the duel between the two. When she saw that Huo Changhe had won, she finally let go of the tense breath in her heart. Before she could even let go, she saw two points of cold light heading towards Huo Changhe. Before she even said the reminder, a third point of light Coming to her again.

The target of Qi Tianmeng's hidden weapon from the beginning was not Huo Changhe, but Yan Ruyu.

It was too late for Yan Ruyu to hide again, but it was not a problem to refute it with a knife.

When Huo Changhe saw it, he was immediately anxious and frightened: "Be careful!"

Yan Ruyu responded calmly, swung the knife, and the hidden weapon was deflected with a clang.

Huo Changhe let out a breath, turned around and swung his sword towards Qi Tian again.

A bit of a cruel smile appeared on Qi Tianmeng's face. Huo Changhe had a premonition that something was not good and heard a slight "chi" sound.

Looking back, the hidden weapon that Yan Ruyu dismissed exploded into a puff of smoke in mid-air.

Obviously not a good thing.

Qi Tianmeng sneered twice, took the knife and stepped back, staring at Yan Ruyu and said: "That is a unique poison I prepared. Without my antidote, even the Daluo Immortal can't undo it!"

Huo Changhe quickly ran to Yan Ruyu and looked at her nervously. He couldn't even speak, all his emotions were choked in his throat.

Yan Ruyu swayed and held his arm. A line of red blood oozed from the corner of her mouth and dripped down her chin. Her voice came from under the mask, so weak that she said: "I..."

Huo Changxian, who was stunned at the side, came to Qi Tianmeng's side and said, "Chief escort, are you okay?"

Qi Tian shook his head fiercely: "A little skin injury, it doesn't matter."

He stared at Huo Changhe: "You, take off the mask!"
