Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

The fire scene was filled with thick smoke and flames, and people were still digging fire lines, trying their best to protect their lives. Outside the fire scene, the county magistrate was anxiously leading the people in the county to put out the fire, but no matter how hard they tried, the fire showed no signs of weakening.

Time passed by minute by minute, the rescue work progressed slowly, and everyone's heart was filled with anxiety and worry.

Tian Xing'er and Tian Yuheng were sleeping soundly, but they were awakened by a noise on the street. After asking, they learned that there was a fire in the inn where Tian Zhenwei was staying.

"Hurry up, second brother! Uncle Zhenwei is in danger, we have to go over and take a look!" Tian Xing'er said anxiously. Thinking of what Tian Zhenwei and the others had just said during the day, and encountering such a thing at night, Tian Xing'er couldn't help but feel suspicious.

"Okay, take the things with you, especially the musket. Don't let it be discovered by others! Everything else is secondary." Tian Yuheng responded calmly. They knew the importance of the musket and had to ensure its safety.

When Tian Xing'er and others rushed to the scene of the accident, they were shocked by the scene before them. The raging fire had surrounded the entire inn, and the fire was getting more and more fierce, as if it was going to devour everything.

People around were helping with the rescue, but in reality, no one had much hope that the people inside would survive.

But Tian Xing'er didn't believe it. Tian Zhenwei was so powerful, he would definitely be able to escape if there was a fire. "Go and look for him quickly, Uncle Zhenwei and the others are no longer outside!" Tian Xing'er anxiously asked people to look for them. She panicked and looked around, but there was no one there.

Tian Yuheng has gone to the side to ask someone.

"Xing'er, I'm afraid it's not good. No one in the inn has come out. I'm afraid they are all trapped inside. The county magistrate said that there is a large open space in the inn, which was reserved by the innkeeper for emergencies. They may still be there, but if the fire is not put out, it will soon burn to the open space in the front yard. If they are smart, they can hold out for a while longer."

Tian Yuheng told everyone everything he had heard. He really couldn't think of any other solution, so he could only hope that everyone would work together. So he asked, "Do you have any good ideas, or have you heard of any way to quickly put out the raging fire caused by the kerosene?"

Unfortunately, everyone present shook their heads helplessly, indicating that they were powerless to do anything.

Tian Xing'er lowered her head silently, pondering the relevant knowledge from her previous life, trying to find inspiration to solve the problem.

At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed through her mind, as if she had grasped the key clue to solve the problem. She turned around abruptly and asked Tian Yuheng anxiously: "Second brother, the place you just mentioned is the first courtyard after we enter the inn? That is the so-called front yard, right?"

After receiving Tian Yuheng's affirmative answer, Tian Xing'er was secretly happy and felt that her idea seemed quite feasible.

She went on to say, "Hurry up and find something to see if the people inside can hear our shouts. Then have someone shout loudly inside, telling them not to move and to just stand in the front yard. Don't worry, we'll rescue them soon!"

After listening to Tian Xing'er's words, although Tian Yuheng had some doubts, he still expressed his support without hesitation: "Okay, Xing'er, what are you going to do? Second brother will definitely assist you with all his strength!"

"Brother, can you ask the county magistrate for some gunpowder, the kind used to blow up mines? We can just use a smaller amount and find a location to blast a hole in the periphery."

"This..." Tian Xing'er's idea seemed feasible, but it contained considerable risks. If the amount of gunpowder was too large, would it kill people directly? But if the amount was too small, it would not only be useless, but might even fuel the fire. Tian Yuheng thought to himself.

However, there is no other way at this moment. As the saying goes, "try everything possible to save a dying horse." The trapped people cannot escape at all, and they must find a breakthrough.

"Okay, let's do as you say. I'll go explain the situation to them. But everyone should be fully prepared. If this plan doesn't work, we'll have to find another way."

At this point, there was no choice. Tian Xing'er made a prompt decision. On the one hand, he sent people to talk to the people in the inn and convey the plan; on the other hand, he arranged for people to inquire about the news of fireworks dealers in the city.

She thought that if the county magistrate did not agree to use these fireworks, then she could simply buy out all the stocks of the fireworks dealer and then set off the gunpowder in all the fireworks together. Perhaps this would produce some effect.

As soon as Tian Yuheng found the county magistrate and told him their plan, the magistrate directly refused. How could they use the gunpowder at will? This was a joke. How could they let the people take this stuff? They didn't have much of it.

“Sir, we used gunpowder to blow up the outer part, but now the fire has surrounded all sides. The people inside have no chance of survival. If we don’t find a solution, they will all die.

We will never do anything, just let the government do it."

The county magistrate didn't know what to do at this time. If the gunpowder was used correctly, the outer part should be blown up, and the people inside would have a chance to get out. The current situation really didn't allow for much thinking. But if the higher-ups asked, would they believe it? And who knew if this method would work?

What if I fail to rescue the person and am falsely accused of killing someone with gunpowder?

"Sir, we've bought the gunpowder at double the price. How about this? Our people have already notified the people inside to stay in the front yard, and we'll blast a hole in the back yard. This way it will be easier to rescue people."

Seeing that the county magistrate was still hesitating, Tian Yuheng said, "My lord, I will not hide it from you. Actually, there is a wounded general in the inn. Do you want to think about who could have such a large amount of kerosene?

I heard that the general's position is not low, and he is following General Li Yun."

Tian Yuheng did not finish his words, leaving the county magistrate to imagine on his own.

The county magistrate was already upset because of the fire. Now he heard that there was a general inside, a general under the great northern hero General Li Yun. If this was true, he was afraid that his career would be over.

The county magistrate didn't dare to think too much and turned around and ordered people to get gunpowder.

The people on Tian Xing'er's side had been shouting for quite a while.

Tian Zhenwei and the others finally heard the voices outside. The voices sounded like their own brothers. Everyone was so happy that they immediately responded,

"We heard it, we're still here, hurry up, the fire inside is getting bigger and bigger, we can't hold out much longer."

The shouting between the inside and outside was finally heard by both sides.

"Xing'er, it's all right. The county magistrate has sent someone to get it. It won't take long."

"Okay, second brother, let's first decide on the location, and then see where is suitable and what amount will be safer."

Tian Xing'er was also afraid that the gunpowder was too powerful and the people inside would not be burned to death but would be killed by the explosion, which would be counterproductive.
