The Dark and Foolish King: The Fierce and Crazy Concubine Has Infinite Strength

A quarter of an hour later, a patrolling soldier came to report that Xia Younan had sprained his ankle and was in so much pain that he couldn't walk, so he had been sent back to his room.

When Lu Xiuyuan heard the news, he panicked and immediately ran to visit with Su Yu.

I saw Xia Younan lying on the bed in the room, his brows were tightly furrowed, his face was slightly pale, and his face was full of pain.

Regardless of whether she was being sincere or not, upon seeing the face he loved so much in such pain, Lu Xiuyuan felt distressed reflexively. He sat down beside the bed swiftly, asking about her health while rolling up her trouser legs to check her injuries.

I indeed sprained my ankle. My ankle is red and swollen, and it looks quite serious.

"How could you sprain your ankle so late at night? What were you doing outside?" Lu Xiuyuan asked.

Xia Younan touched his foot in pain and replied, "Didn't you say we were about to break through? There was nothing I could do. I couldn't sleep at night, so I wanted to go to the armory to check if there were any weapons that were damaged or needed improvement.

"As a result, I didn't see the road clearly when I came back, and I stepped into a small pothole and sprained my ankle."

Lu Xiuyuan did not doubt him. After comforting her with a few words, he took the ointment for bruises and sprains sent by the military doctor and applied it on her.

After applying the ointment, he looked back at Su Yu and smiled helplessly.

What a coincidence, she was injured just when they were about to test her martial arts.

Su Yu also felt that it was too coincidental, so he stepped forward and asked Xia Younan: "Princess, what was Yanluo's condition like before you came to the border?"

Xia Younan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "What else can that delicate little princess do? Ever since you left her, she has been missing you so much that she cries all the time and has lost a lot of weight."

"Really?" Su Yu's eyes became moist when he heard this.

Lu Xiuyuan frowned and thought for a while, then asked Xia Younan: "Younan, do you still remember how you managed to bring down Ye Baijiang on my birthday?"

Xia Younan blinked in confusion and answered obediently, "On the eve of your birthday, we discovered that the painting sent by Lu Shian contained a city defense map, and he wanted to frame you for rebellion.

"As soon as I thought about it, I decided to use someone else's knife to kill someone. I secretly put the city defense map into Ye Baijiang's study, and then waited for that day..."

She narrated to him exactly what had happened that day, even down to what they were wearing and what they had said.

After hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan looked at Su Yu and felt his heart sink.

This kind of thing is not bright, and it is impossible to leak it out. When Younan went to the Xiangfu to hide the city defense map that day, he only brought Zhu Li and Xiong Fei with him. Zhu Li and Xiong Fei's loyalty is beyond doubt.

The person in front of him could know the whole story so clearly, so there was only one possibility, she was the person involved, Xia Younan!

But Lu Xiuyuan was still unwilling to give up. At this moment, he would rather suspect that the Xia Younan in front of him was fake, because he found that he could not muster any interest in her now.

The overwhelming love in the past seemed to be imprisoned by something and could not be expressed to her no matter what.

"Husband, why are you asking me these?" Xia Younan asked him pretending to be confused, but she couldn't help being shocked in her heart.

Lu Xiuyuan shook his head and said casually, "Just remembering the bitter past and thinking about the sweet past."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Xia Younan understood, and then said, "Since my husband wants to recall the past, I will tell you all about our past from the time we met to the time we fell in love and then stayed together, so that my husband can listen to it to his heart's content, okay?"

Rather than facing his endless temptations, she should take the initiative.

Lu Xiuyuan and Su Yu were just hoping for this, so they found a stool and sat down, listening to her slowly telling the story of the past.

However, the ending still disappointed them. The person in front of them could tell them clearly and in detail everything that happened after she married into the palace.

Even though Lu Xiuyuan and the other man raised many "questions" while she was telling her story, she answered them all very well.

Now, no matter how unwilling they were, the two had to accept the fact that the person in front of them was Xia Younan himself.

Lu Xiuyuan just felt upset for a while, so he asked Xia Younan to have a good rest and left with Su Yu.

Looking at the backs of the two people, Xia Younan lying on the bed breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Xiuyuan returned to the room and washed up. Not long after he lay down, he heard a commotion outside, accompanied by soldiers' shouts for help.

Lu Xiuyuan suddenly lost all sleepiness, quickly got up, put on his coat, and hurriedly pushed the door open to go out.

As soon as he went out, he met the messenger, who told him anxiously: "Oh no, Marshal, the armory is on fire!"

"What?!" Lu Xiuyuan was horrified and looked towards the armory, where he saw flames shooting up into the sky, lighting up the dark night red!

"Quick! Quick! Put out the fire! Everyone go put out the fire!" He shouted angrily and used his lightness skills to rush towards the armory.

A large number of soldiers had gathered outside the armory. They were like ants on a hot pan, some fetching water, some putting out the fire, and the sounds of shouting and splashing water filled the air.

The armory had now become a sea of ​​fire, the fire surrounded the entire warehouse, the scorching flames shot up more than ten meters high, burning with crackling sounds.

Lu Xiuyuan looked at everything in front of him and felt dizzy.

It's over, it's over! We were about to break out, but our weapons were burned!

The fire was so fierce and intense that it produced waves of heat that rolled in, making it impossible for people to get close to it. In addition, the water source was far away, so the soldiers' efforts to put out the fire were undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

By the time the fire was completely extinguished, the sky was already slightly bright, and the armory and all the heavy weapons inside were completely reduced to ashes.

The sun rose in the east, but it brought no warmth. The soldiers, covered in dust, stared blankly at the ruined scene before them. No one spoke, but all kept their heads down in silence.

Everyone was in despair. At this moment, the only hope left in their hearts was burned to nothingness along with the arsenal...

"Where are the soldiers guarding the armory?!"

Lu Xiuyuan almost shouted, and his whole body was shaking, his eyes were red as if blood could drip out, and his fists were clenched so hard that they made a creaking sound.

A group of soldiers came before him in fear and trepidation and knelt on the ground.

Lu Xiuyuan was so angry that he questioned them angrily, "How did you guard the armory? Why did you wait until the fire was fully started before putting it out? Why didn't you put out the fire when it just started and you could have controlled it? Why!"

The soldiers kowtowed to him several times, and one of them explained to him in a tearful voice, "Marshal, we are wronged! We take turns guarding the armory and dare not slack off in the slightest.

"I was at the scene when the fire started. The fire did not start gradually, but started in an instant. We did not have a chance to control the fire at all."

"What? How is this possible?" Lu Xiuyuan didn't believe him.

"What he said is true!" Another soldier followed suit, and raised his hand to swear an oath in case he didn't believe him. "Marshal, we guarantee with our lives that the fire started strangely! It was more like an instant explosion than a burning fire. We didn't have time to put out any rescue efforts at all."
