I survive in the weird Liaozhai

The two of them avoided the patrolling soldiers all the way and arrived at the palace. At this time, Wang Jie had been waiting at the door for a long time.

Seeing the figure in Taoist robes approaching, Wang Jie, who was waiting at the door, immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"Master Nian'an, everything is ready. Please follow me into the courtyard to check it out."

"Well, please trouble Prince Wang."

Afterwards, Gu Nian'an and the other person followed Wang Jie into the palace. When they entered the palace, they saw twenty figures in night clothes standing quietly in the courtyard, not saying a word.

In a corner of the courtyard, dozens of well-sealed jars of kerosene were neatly placed on one side.

Seeing this, Gu Nian'an nodded with satisfaction.

"Sir, could you please bring me the longbow I used the night before? It may be of use tonight."

"No problem. Then please wait for a moment, Taoist Nian An."

After saying that, Wang Jie walked quickly towards the inner courtyard. In just a moment, Wang Jie took the Moon-Chasing Longbow and a mahogany lacquer box and respectfully handed them to him.

Taking the longbow and putting the quiver on his back, Gu Nian'an said no more and turned to walk out of the palace, with Xu Chongxiao following closely behind him.

When the twenty big men in black who were standing quietly in the courtyard saw this, they immediately took action. Each of them carried two jars of kerosene and quickly followed the two men out of the mansion one after another.

Watching the people walking away, Wang Jie stood alone in the yard for a long time without saying a word.

He wanted to follow along, but this time the Wang family could not be involved in the burning of the Li family, no matter what the reason was. At least no one from the Wang family could be involved openly.

The Wang family and the Li family were only a few kilometers apart. They did not encounter any patrolling soldiers along the way, so in less than a quarter of an hour, the group of more than 20 people arrived at the gate of the Li Mansion.

Looking at the tall gate wall in front of him, and then at the empty Li family gate, Gu Nian'an couldn't help but frown.

It stands to reason that a powerful family like the Li family would have guards guarding the gate day and night, but the current situation is obviously not right.

But overall, this is more conducive to their next actions.

“Leave five jars of kerosene, and throw the rest into the Li family’s house through the back door and side yard and set them on fire.

Remember to throw it in from the corner or climb on the top of the wall, and never try to enter the Li family."

After Gu Nian'an finished giving his instructions, the twenty men in black standing quietly behind him simply clasped their fists and bowed, then took the kerosene and went off in batches to act.

Slowly taking off the silk scarf from her eyes and putting it in her arms, Gu Nian'an looked up at the evil-filled Li Mansion with a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Let’s take a look tonight and see what kind of waves are hidden under this seemingly peaceful and tranquil first family in the county.

"Bang, bang, bang"

The crisp sound echoed in the empty night, and one by one, cans filled with kerosene were brought into Li's mansion by the big men in black.

A few men who climbed up the wall found the right direction and threw the lit tinder in their hands, then immediately climbed down the wall to reunite with their companions.

There was no verbal communication. After doing all this, they turned around and left without looking back. Their actions were quick and decisive, without any delay.

However, the fire gradually grew after a while, and when all the men in black returned to the main gate of Li's Mansion again.

The fire had already spread, and the flames shot up into the sky, dyeing even the sky a bright red.

Gu Nian quietly watched the Li Mansion being gradually surrounded by flames without looking back, but just waved his hand gently.

"Go back, there is nothing for you to do here anymore."

Upon hearing this, the big men in black clasped their fists, saluted, turned around and left, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Waiting for another short nap, oh! Gu Nian'an sighed.

As expected, there should be no living people in the Li Mansion. Despite the fire, there was no cry for help, nor the noise of firefighting. There was only an eerie silence.

So there is nothing to worry about.

Gu Nian'an opened the quiver behind him and took out five long iron arrows. He soaked the arrowheads in kerosene one by one, then took out a fire starter from his bosom and lit the arrows.

Then he told Xu Chongxiao who was standing on the side:

"Xu Chongxiao, throw the kerosene towards the Li family with all your strength, the closer to the center the better."

Upon hearing the order, Xu Chongxiao walked forward without hesitation and picked up a jar of kerosene from the ground. He took a half step back and used all his strength to throw the jar full of kerosene towards Li's Mansion.

Seeing this, Gu Nian'an took the long arrow in his hand, bowed into a full moon shape, and watched the flight trajectory of the jar with narrowed eyes until the jar was about to reach the center of Li's Mansion.

He focused his eyes, loosened the string, and the long arrow flew out like thunder, cutting through the night sky and instantly hitting the pottery jar that was still in the night sky.

"boom"

With a loud bang and flames, the clay pot in mid-air exploded into pieces, and the kerosene in the pottery pot scattered and was quickly ignited.

Under the influence of gravity, the fire snake in the air descended directly towards Li's Mansion like a fire from heaven.

"continue"

Gu Nian'an's words were cold and without any emotion.

Xu Chongxiao thrust his spear into the ground half an inch, then stepped forward, picked up two jars full of kerosene with both hands, turned around and threw them out with all his strength.

Gu Nian'an quickly strung the arrow and ignited the jars in the air one by one until all five jars of kerosene were delivered to Li's Mansion before stopping.

The fire is already started, all that's left is to wait.

Gu Nian'an picked up the quiver on the ground again and took Xu Chongxiao into a dark alley.

I think with such a big commotion here, the city patrol officers and yamen runners should be able to take action quickly.

However! Gu Nian'an hoped that the first to arrive would be the group of people from the City Patrol.

After all, they are bad guys. Only when all the bad guys die can the world become a better place.

But if the city's yamen runners arrived first, he would not try to stop them, and they could only blame themselves for their bad luck.

As for whether his actions would alarm the mastermind hidden in the Li Mansion, or scare the mastermind away, that actually didn't matter.

It was nothing more than another life-and-death hunting game, and he happened to have the time to waste recently.

Alas! What I fear most is that the mastermind behind this will stay in his lair and refuse to come out.

This will make things a little troublesome.

If possible, he really didn't want to fight head-on with an opponent with unknown means in someone else's lair.

"Hurry up, hurry up, if something happens to the Li family, no one will have an easy life."

Suddenly, a noisy sound of cheering came from afar on the street. Gu Nian'an pricked up his ears and listened carefully for a moment.

It looks like the firefighters have arrived and they are quite capable. It's been less than a quarter of an hour.

But the time has not come yet, they have to wait a little longer and wait for them to go and help find out what the situation is with the Li family.
