First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

After coming out from the palace maids, Xie Yingfeng glared at Nangong Rui fiercely.

"Look at what you have done!" Xie Yingfeng wanted to give Nangong Rui a slap in the face and send him flying. "What do you think these girls are? This is a marriage granted by His Majesty! You pighead, do you want to get married or not?"

Nangong Rui scratched his head and said, "I just thought it was just temporary. Who knew they would react so strongly?"

"Go back in and stay there for three days!" Xie Yingfeng scolded. "What kind of person are you! I wrote to you so early to ask you to prepare well, and you prepared this for me!"

"I know I was wrong!" Nangong Rui admitted his mistake quickly and lowered his head immediately. He had been scolded before and now he was scolded again. He was so unlucky!

"You!" Xie Yingfeng didn't know what to say to Nangong Rui, "I think you don't want to get married either!" He flicked his sleeves and walked quickly to the front.

Of course he wanted to get married, but the person he wanted to marry was someone else, not one of these little palace maids.

Perhaps because they shared a common hatred for a common enemy, everyone got along very harmoniously during the past few days in Mangcheng. Zhao Xiuwan, who had always spoken in a sarcastic tone, no longer showed off, and Feicui and Bihe naturally didn't say much.

Xie Yingfeng did what he said. Early in the morning of the third day, he sent someone to notify everyone to move into the new house.

The so-called new house was actually renovated from an old one, otherwise it would not have been built so quickly. Xie Yingfeng cleared out a row of warehouses and cleaned them up before letting the palace maids move in.

Originally this place was used to store grain, so the rooms were very large. There were thirteen rooms in total, and it was many times more spacious than the carriage we had been in before.

Moreover, Xie Yingfeng used simple screens and curtains to separate each room. As long as the curtains were opened, it would become a large room, and when the curtains were drawn, it would become five relatively independent small rooms. People living in the same large house now basically have their own single room.

This time everyone was very satisfied. They happily took their things and chose a place to live.

In Wei Ling's tent, Xie Yingfeng sighed as soon as he entered, "Finally, those ladies are satisfied! I'm almost dying of exhaustion!"

"I told you that Nangong Rui is good at fighting, but you didn't think carefully about other aspects." Wei Ling tapped the table with his fingers, "It's you who didn't think carefully enough."

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I should be exhausted to death! I should teach Nangong Rui step by step what to do!" Xie Yingfeng complained.

"Is it useful to say weird things? Say more." Wei Ling said calmly.

"Forget it!" Xie Yingfeng waved his hand. "My cousin has gone to a nearby town for a medical consultation. He should be back in the next few days. When he comes back, let him treat you well."

Wei Ling glanced at him, and Xie Yingfeng tactfully made a gesture to keep quiet.

"It seems that the Turks have been showing no signs of moving these days," Wei Ling said.

"Our army has returned, and they still dare to move?" Xie Yingfeng shook his head, "I guess they want to show us a warning. I just don't know where to start this warning!"

Wei Ling has already divided his troops to several important towns nearby. The Turks are not stupid. They are fast, which is their advantage. So they will not raid those important towns that are heavily guarded. They will definitely find some marginal places to cause trouble. Rapid advance is their style.

However, compared with several other places, the defense of Mangcheng is not that tight now.

He only left Nangong Rui's 10,000 men in the city, 2,000 of whom were building barracks.

"Make arrangements to strengthen Mangcheng's security in the next few days." Wei Ling said, "All personnel who were on vacation before must return to the camp and are not allowed to go out."

"Yes." Xie Yingfeng bowed and went out to pass on the order.

Wei Ling's actions made everyone in Mangcheng alert.

Sure enough, on the night when the order was passed down, there was an unusual movement in the northeast direction of Mangcheng. A team of Turkic soldiers sneaked in and began to attack the city.

At the moment when this team of Turkic soldiers began to attack the city, fires broke out in many places in Mangcheng.

Wei Ling rushed out of the tent with a sharp look in his eyes.

"The Turks can't break in. The siege outside is just a feint, with the intention of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. You don't need to go there, Qian Feng can go there with others." Wei Ling immediately said to Nangong Rui, "You lead people to put out the fire and search Mangcheng. I'm afraid there are Turkic spies mixed in."

"Yes!" Nangong Rui took the order and led his troops out of the barracks.

Wei Ling also turned around and put on his armor.

Before he could go out, he heard a violent explosion very close by. The sound was so loud that it shook everything on the table.

Is this in the military camp?

"Oh no, the stable was bombed!" someone shouted.

For a moment, the war horses neighed, and those that were still in the stables, frightened, rushed out of the stables recklessly, running rampant in the military camp, trampling countless people.

The military camp suddenly became chaotic.

Su Jixiang and the others were still asleep, but were awakened by the huge explosion.

But after waking up, I felt even more terrified.

I don't know when someone poured tung oil on the house and set it on fire...

Now there is smoke everywhere, making it hard for people to breathe.

Oh no! Su Jixiang's first reaction was to pull up a handkerchief to cover his mouth and nose.

She pushed the door immediately, but it was on fire. It was a dry day and the doors were made of pine boards, which quickly caught fire.

"What should I do?" Hua Rui was crying anxiously, her eyes were red from choking.

"Cover your mouth and nose, and try to keep your body down." Su Jixiang said to Hua Rui, and she pulled off a piece of clothing and threw it to Hua Rui.

Since they couldn't get out of the door, Su Jixiang saw the window, which could be opened. She jumped out of the window first, and then pulled Hua Rui and the other three out.

After they went out, they found that the entire area of the squares was on fire. Because theirs was the last one, the fire was the least severe.

Su Jixiang was worried about Qu Wanning, so she rushed to Qu Wanning's room. The door and windows were on fire. She looked around and went back to her room again. She jumped in, took out her kitchen knife, and picked up a chair in the room.

She put the kitchen knife on the belt behind her, and then used a chair to smash the window of Qu Wanning's room directly from the outside.

"Sister Ning!" Su Jixiang called out.

"I'm here!" Qu Wanning's weak voice came. Su Jixiang didn't care about much anymore. Just as she was about to jump inside, a big hand pressed her shoulder directly.

She looked back and saw Wei Ling in black armor.

"Get out!" Wei Ling said to Su Jixiang, and then he jumped in.
