First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

"Is there any water?" Su Jixiang came to his senses when he saw Wei Ling jump in. Wei Ling did come unprepared. Just now, under the reflection of the fire, there was water hanging on his black armor.

Su Jixiang looked back at Hua Rui and the others.

"Yes, let's go get it!" Hua Rui said, pointing to the large vat outside the fence.

In order to prevent fires in winter, the military camp would place a huge copper vat at regular intervals with a stove underneath. In the winter, someone would come regularly to heat the copper vat to prevent the water inside from freezing, so that when a fire really broke out, water would be needed but there would be no water.

This place used to be the location of a granary, so the copper vats are distributed more densely.

"This fence..." Hua Rui pushed the fence, but it didn't move...

"Here." Su Jixiang raised his kitchen knife and directly cut off the lock hanging on the wooden fence door. It was obvious that Wei Ling jumped in just now!

Su Jixiang, Hua Rui and the others rushed out. There was a wooden barrel near the copper vat. They scooped water and rushed into it.

When Su Jixiang and the others rushed in to put out the fire, Chu Feng and the other Black Tiger Guards had arrived, and even Xu Touer and the others rushed over. With them around, they could rescue people and put out the fire at the same time, and the process was much faster.

With everyone's joint efforts, the fire gradually became smaller, but the house was burned to pieces. Fortunately, the Black Tiger Guards arrived quickly and rescued everyone inside in time.

After the fire was put out, the sky gradually turned white.

Everyone was exhausted and sat in front of the charred house with embers still on it, staring blankly.

The throats of some palace maids were irritated by the smoke and they kept coughing. A few of them had slight burns on their skin. Everyone's face was smoked black, with only their eyes and teeth remaining white.

Everyone looked listless, with a sense of bewilderment and helplessness caused by fear. They looked at each other, not knowing why they had encountered such a fire.

I don't know who started crying softly, and the cry was contagious. In just a moment, almost everyone was sobbing softly. Even the Black Tiger Guards who were standing aside to rest had a look of pity on their faces.

If the fire had been bigger yesterday, these palace maids would have been buried in the flames.

Qu Wanning hunched her shoulders and leaned on Su Jixiang. It was Wei Ling who went in and carried her out yesterday. She would never forget the moment when Wei Ling broke through the shackles of the fire and flew in. She felt as if she saw a god descending from the sky.

The deposed emperor abandoned her just as he wished, but Wei Ling brought her out of the fire.

She couldn't describe her state of mind, she just felt sweet and scared at the same time.

"I wonder what General Wei is doing now." She whispered to Su Jixiang. She felt a little shy even when the name Wei Ling was mentioned. She couldn't help but lower her head and buried her face in her arms.

"General Wei has too many things to do." Su Jixiang comforted Qu Wanning, "The whole military camp is in such a mess, he must be going to deal with some things."

Yes, he is the commander of the entire Black Tiger Army and the commander of the entire Mang City. He saved me and went to do his own thing. Why would he stay here, Qu Wanning thought.

Wei Ling was indeed very busy.

His previous judgment was correct. The siege on the northeast corner of Mangcheng was just a feint to attract the attention of the garrison in the city.

The real purpose of the Turks was to create chaos in the city, blow up their stables and burn their food supplies.

After helping Su Jixiang rescue Qu Wanning, Wei Ling saw that Chu Feng and the others had come to rescue people, so he turned around and left. He still had important things to do. However, at the moment the fire broke out, the first person he thought of was Su Jixiang. He was afraid that Su Jixiang would get into trouble, so he came here first.

After he left, he went to several fire sites, either cloth shops or rice shops in the city. The Turks had done a very detailed investigation before, and found that Mangcheng's food supply in winter was all supplied by these rice shops in the city. As long as their granaries were burned, it would not be long before the city's rice supply would be in trouble.

And if the Turks burn down the granary in the military camp together, the entire garrison in Mangcheng will have to compete with the people of Mangcheng for food.

His heart can be killed.

What they had not expected was that they had only blown up a small part of the stable, and the granary they had previously investigated was now being used as a residence for the palace maids.

In other words, the Turks spent a lot of effort and only blew up a small part of the stables. The largest stable was converted into a place for the palace maids to live. As a result, the palace maids did not live there, but lived in the newly rebuilt granary.

As fate would have it, these palace maids seemed to be blessed with good fortune.

Xie Yingfeng ran in, his moon-white robe was also covered with black dust, and even his elegant and handsome face was covered with black mud left and right, like a ghost painting.

"We've calculated the statistics." He held a brush and a notebook in his hand. "Look, the city lost a thousand dan of grain. We didn't lose any grain at all, but more than twenty horses were killed or injured in the explosion..."

"Go, bring Nangong Rui to me!" Wei Ling's eyes were filled with anger.

When he left, he handed Mangcheng over to Nangong Rui. He had been fighting outside for so many years, and this is how Nangong Rui managed Mangcheng? The spies were almost able to figure out what color underwear Nangong Rui was wearing!

Nangong Rui was just at the door. When he heard Wei Ling was angry, he ran in quickly and knelt on the ground. "I deserve to die!" He was terrified, knowing that he had done something wrong!

Fortunately, the palace maids now live in the granary. If the food and grass are really burned by the Turks, he will be held responsible even if he dies!

"You also know you deserve to die!" Wei Ling said almost gritting his teeth, "First, find out for me how the spy got in and how he got to know you! And then listen to my instructions!" Wei Ling said coldly to Nangong Rui.

Nangong Rui didn't dare to say anything more and could only obey the order and leave.

After he left the tent, he wanted to slap himself a few times.

Wei Ling trusted him so much that he handed over the entire Mangcheng camp to him. He thought he had guarded his hometown well for Wei Ling, but he didn't know that his hometown had been explored to pieces by the Turks!

This time, even if Wei Ling wanted to forgive him, he couldn't forgive himself!

"Reporting to the general, Captain Qian Feng led his troops in pursuit and captured the Turks who attacked our northeast corner!" a messenger came to report.

"Well done Qian Feng!" Xie Yingfeng couldn't help but clench his fist and said.

We had a really miserable night last night. We were beaten back to our hometown. Now, finally there is some good news to cheer us up.
