Chapter 108 Burn the Heart with Fire

Gan Yi: Set fire to the mountain and sit in prison!

In just over a month, it will be autumn in a blink of an eye.

Gan Yi put the document on the palm of her hand and tapped it repeatedly, feeling embarrassed, and turned to Qu Liying and Meng Qian, who were at a loss in the hall, distressed: "Let the sage order to investigate the hidden bandits in the forest of Huangquan. It's not difficult, but how we march is as difficult as climbing the sky. The forest is vast, and there are many people who come and go, so we can't let so many people die in vain."

"Besides, we don't even know who is on the other side," Meng Qianmo sighed helplessly, "The officials ordered the soldiers to guard the entrance of the Netherworld Forest, but they remained motionless. As long as the Netherworld Forest cannot be guarded, who can Is there any good strategy, you won’t set fire to the mountain?”

Qu Liying shook her head before he finished speaking.

The three people in this room were still thinking hard, but Zhong Jun under Meng Qian's command rushed into the prime minister's mansion in a hurry, saying that there were other important matters, and it was extremely urgent.

"What happened?" Meng Qian's heart skipped a beat.

"Fire...fire..." Zhong Jun struggled to hold on with only the whites of his eyes left, and spoke intermittently, "Someone set fire... burnt...the forest of Huangquan..."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, even Gan Yi dropped the official document to the ground, staring at Zhong Jun with wide eyes.

"Say! Who set the fire! What's the situation now?! How many casualties?!"

"The fire was burning out from the forest. No one knows who set the fire, but it really wasn't a lieutenant of our army. When the officer received the news, it was already a drop in the bucket. Now I'm afraid it can burn down the surrounding lost cities. Already!"

Angrily, Gan Yi slapped the table to get up, summoned the servants outside the door, and ordered Qu Liying to go one step ahead and enter the palace to face the saint. After explaining the matter, Meng Qian led his team to the rescue.

"I'm afraid it's too late. The Lost City is located in the northern border. It's hard to put out the fire near the water..."

"The truth is, I can only think about saving more people."

Lan Mo walked quickly through the corridor, and without looking back, he took the list handed over by Xing Cheng, and as soon as he opened it, he saw the familiar name—Ye Xiang.

"Why did Chu Guangliang put him under our battalion? I saw that she is not bad at martial arts, why didn't she stay in the seventh battalion?"

Hearing this, Xing Cheng continued to follow Lan Mo, but with a slight smile on his face, he said, "You're right, can we only accept those who are not wanted on the left?"

"That's not what it means." Lan Mo Xin handed over the list to him again, as long as the battalion commander presides over the training, the best thing is to keep it in his pocket.However, this person is special, so there is nothing wrong with not keeping her in the Seventh Battalion. "

Between the two of them talking, they had already arrived at the pavilion of Lan Mo, the sixth battalion commander, ordered the newly promoted military officer, and called for someone to settle him down and rest.

Xing Cheng raised his eyes, and happened to see Ye Xiang's gaze wandering between himself and Lan Mo, finally he took a fixed look at himself, then turned his eyes away, turning a blind eye, all these small movements fell into Xing Cheng's eyes, but nothing He bowed his head and glanced at the list again.

"It's been a month, and it's about to enter autumn." Chu Guangliang lay down on the railing of the pavilion boredly, and Chang Ming beside him was looking around for rabbits, and he agreed casually: "Yes, in a few months it will be soon." There are no more rabbits."

Chu Guangliang glanced at him: "Why are you still thinking about rabbits! You have been guarding the door for a month, and those newcomers have already settled down in their own homes, and the wind and water are flourishing, so don't worry about when he will release you and return to your post!"

"I have rested for a month, is this just leisurely?"

"Can't you be a little promising? What if he wants to punish you for a year?"

"One year..." Chang Ming thought about it seriously, "Then I should stay in another place, or take leave to go home and play around."

Chu Guangliang was choked speechless by him, and Chang Ming laughed heartlessly. It was at this time that Helian Qingxian called him from a distance, saying that the commander of the army called him to Xuanwu Pavilion.

"Is it because of the second brother?" Changming asked Yijing, and replied regretfully, "Master Gu still has nothing to gain."

"Everyone has been missing for more than ten years. How can you find results if you look for it day and night?" Yijing sighed resignedly, then took the documents from one side, and threw them down to let Changming pick them up, and said to him: " There is more than one month left, and tomorrow you will be reinstated as an official, and you will continue to take care of the affairs of the Seventh Battalion, and I will not order the rest to be too long-winded."

Chang Ming should be simple, waved the paperwork in his hand, smiled triumphantly at Yijing, and after receiving a slap from Yijing, he restrained himself, and obediently saluted, ready to say goodbye and leave the house.

But when he opened the door without thinking, he saw Xing Sheng slammed in. If Chang Ming hadn't reacted in time, the two of them would have fallen on their backs.

Yijing stretched his head to look around from the main seat, and asked doubtfully, "Xingcheng, is there something urgent?"

Xing Sheng waved to Chang Ming, and went forward to present the document to Yi Jing.Chang Ming didn't know what was behind him, so he still closed the door, and when he was about to ask, Xing Sheng said, "Someone set fire to the Yellow Spring Forest."

"What?!" Yijing exclaimed, "Who is so ignorant?!"

"I don't know. I just said that the fire started in the forest. It burned all night and day. When this document was delivered, the fire had not been extinguished, but it burned the east wall of the Lost City to crumbling condition. Fortunately, the people escaped from the Lost City early. .”

This is the first time I have heard of such inexplicable and unreasonable things.

"Is there any other news from the court?"

"Gan Yi sent Meng Qian to Huangquan Forest to wait for rescue. The new prefect of Lost City also called the people to help put out the fire, but autumn is approaching and the climate is dry. A single spark can start a prairie fire, and I'm afraid there will only be ashes left."

Yijing finally felt a little stuffy in his chest. After thinking about it carefully, he attributed the cause and effect to the Netherworld Forest, where he grew up. With a wave of his hand, Chang Ming and Xing Sheng retreated.

Seeing the endless scorched earth and black smoke in front of him, Meng Qian heaved a long sigh of relief. He also bent over and sat on the ground with his legs stretched out. Among them, clear water poured down from the top of the head, and it really came to the top of the head. During the period, I raised my head and opened my mouth, and drank a few mouthfuls of muddy water mixed with black ash. There were bursts of green smoke, and even the skin and flesh smelled of charcoal roasting, and it was just a handful of salt before serving the meal.

He coughed belatedly and thought, this roast meat would be meaningless if it was soaked in cold water.

The sergeant at his side cheered up, walked to his side in two steps, and patted him on the back lightly and hard.

"Take a break and clean up the forest later."

At night, Meng Qian personally led a team of soldiers, lit a dimly lit lantern, and Wan Qian ordered to be careful not to walk in the water, and stepped into the vicissitudes of the forest.

Since the trees are all burned, there is nothing to be afraid of in this perennially lost forest. At first glance, there is no end, but as you walk, there are always bones and skeletons, scorched skin and rotten flesh. This is not unusual at all. .

But knowing that he saw a relatively open place, the beams of the house collapsed, and the corpses piled up into a mountain, he couldn't help but feel the smell of blood on his back, and his stomach turned upside down.

"Why are there still people building houses in this forest? Have you ever heard some rumors?" Meng Qian asked left and right.

A group of sergeants looked at each other, and finally shook their heads in agreement.

Meng Qian had no choice but to endure his nausea, and led the people forward a few steps to move the collapsed beams away to find out what was inside, but then he raised the lantern, and suddenly found that there was only one in the burnt woods not far away. They were all neatly broken from the waist and abdomen. After careful inspection, it was even more surprising that the fractures of these trees were even, and there were still trunks and crowns beside them, which were obviously not caused by the fire.

"Zhong Jun led a few people to guard here, and cleaned everything under the house, and the rest of the people will come with me!"

An extremely terrifying premonition vaguely emerged in Meng Qian's heart.

A broken tree guides the way, and a dead branch breaks it.

Meng Qian rushed forward along the broken tree. If there was no end to the Underworld Forest, he would not be tired. From the vastness of the stars to the dawn of the East, the people behind him followed each other and stopped. Only he did not slow down, maybe It was the unrelenting training in the past, and perhaps the weirdness that he hadn’t seen today. He doubted several times that after passing through this forest, he would be able to see the Gobi desert in the northwest again. reachable?

There is no endless twilight ahead, but there is a large green forest. After a closer look, it is discovered that someone has cut off all the trees to prevent the fire from spreading.

The moment he stopped walking, Meng Qian seemed to have lost all his mental strength and fell to the ground without warning. His battalion commander behind him almost reached out to help him, but he fell together with him, rubbing against each other. His face was muddy.

"This... is this a person?..." The battalion commander looked around at half of the scorched black and half of green, and leaned in the direction of Meng Qian involuntarily, "We have been exhausted after chasing all this way. What kind of new wood is very strong when it is first planted, but the cross section is neatly slashed, how can anyone escape from this sea of ​​flames in such a short period of time, and cut trees all the way? Have we misunderstood something? These trees Was it cut off early?"

Meng Qian shook his head resolutely, and pointed to the trees behind him: "Look at these trees, they are broken from the waist. If ordinary people fell the trees, they should be cut from the root, and the scars on them are twists and turns. Abandoning the broken trees along the way? Apparently someone escaped from the forest to reduce the flames."

"What kind of talent is this possible?" The battalion commander shook his head repeatedly, chattering, "Even if all the dead soldiers in the prime minister's residence were captured, it wouldn't be so spectacular... Grand Commander?"

The battalion commander suddenly found that the army commander was stiff and staring straight ahead, his fingers trembling slightly, his lips slowly opened, as if he had seen some monsters and ghosts, and he was scared out of his wits. Thinking of the broken trees and branches along the way, I couldn't help but see the image of myself being cut into eight pieces by the National People's Congress with blood flowing in my mind, but I just can't get rid of it!

"Who... are you?" The battalion commander heard Meng Qian hesitantly ask.

He turned around and found that the other party was just an ordinary young man, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, but the aura of Xingzhu on his body was heavier than that of ordinary people, making it unbearable to breathe.

That young man was about twenty years old, his appearance was ordinary, his eyes were lonely and desolate, no one knew his origin, and no one knew his past, but when Meng Qian saw him, there was a sense of familiarity lingering in his heart. As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Meng Qian smelled a strong smell of blood, but looking around, there were no bones and no blood here—so he concluded that it was this young man who brought the smell of blood to him. here.

"My name is Wang Xi," the young man said slowly.

Gan Yi and Meng Qian had been circling the Yellow Spring Forest for quite some time, and finally they dug up something.
