Chapter 21 Entry(2/2)

"Yes, inspection!"

"Hey, hey, I got it, don't worry about the inspection!"

"The inspection is brilliant..."

There was a roar of agreement, mixed with obvious flattery sounds. Archers, Xiangyong and the common people, regardless of whether they understood Han Qing's reasons or not, resolutely carried out his order.

Sections of collapsed courtyard walls were splashed with cold water. More walls were gradually exposed. With more and more people coming to put out the fire, Han Qing ordered his brothers to move forward steadily.

He stepped over the wet courtyard wall and poured cold water on the other fires in the courtyard. Wave after wave, persevering.

As if sensing the efforts of the people, God started to rain again in the middle of the night. At first, it was still drizzling, and the effect was like adding fuel to the fire. However, it soon became heavier and heavier...

"Inspectors are blessed, even God helps us!" The archers, village warriors and the common people, with high morale, shouted loudly and launched the final attack on the fire scene.

"It's none of my business, it's because God can't bear that everyone is working too hard!" Han Qing raised his hand to wipe the rain off his face, responded with a smile, and then opened his voice again and shouted loudly, "Everyone, please pay attention to your steps, don't burn out."

The food will be very hot, so be careful and you may get burned!"

"knew!"

"As you command!"

“Don’t worry about inspection!”

The archers, local warriors and the common people agreed in a noisy manner. Then they continued to advance toward the core area of ​​the grain and grass depot.

"Xu Qiang, Jia Liang, you two each take five brothers and search the surrounding area." Waving to everyone, Han Qing put away his smile and quickly turned his eyes to the two village brave little bosses he was familiar with, "If

If you find the soldiers guarding the grain and grass depot, regardless of whether they are dead or alive, bring them to me immediately."

"Yes!" Xu Qiang and Jia Liang agreed to carry out the task. Han Qing raised his hand and wiped water on his face, then rode his horse across the broken wall that had cooled down.

Under the influence of heavy rain, the fire was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye. He was actually able to find a place to take shelter from the rain. The reason why he stayed near the fire was entirely due to the habit he had developed in the army in his previous life, to advance and retreat together with his companions.

Although, he wouldn't be able to help much if he stayed.

"Sigh..." The horse under his crotch seemed to have stepped on something. While trying to adjust his body to avoid falling, he let out an aggrieved protest from his nostrils.

Han Qing quickly lowered his head, and with the help of the remaining firelight, he could vaguely make out that it was a carbonized animal carcass.

The outline of his head was facing outward. It seemed that he had tried to escape after the fire. However, because his way was blocked by the courtyard wall, he was unable to escape the flames and high temperature.

No, there seems to be a person who was burned to charcoal next to the animal carcass.

It didn't curl up into a ball, but fell over.

Han Qing was stunned. He instinctively jumped off his mount, pulled out his saber, and tried to use the tip of his saber to draw a circle on the ground to encircle the corpses of people and animals for examination by the county residents.

"Ding!" The tip of the knife seemed to have hit something, and it made a crisp sound.

Han Qing was stunned again. He looked carefully under the light of the fire, only to find that it was a broken clay pot.

It was about the size of a three-pound rice wine jar. Because it was made of pottery, it could withstand the high temperature of the fire. Now it was soaked by the rain, and circles of light diffused vaguely along the broken edges.

It's oil stains!

Unburned oil stains!

Han Qingrao had already made some guesses beforehand, but he was still shocked by the hidden secret he had just discovered.

Someone deliberately set a fire.

However, the fire has been burning for so long, but it has not spread.

As soon as it started to rain, the fire immediately decreased.

It was the grain storehouse that caught fire.

There may not be much food inside!

He had seen this routine countless times in movies and TV series in his previous life. It was an old routine that couldn't get any worse. If it were written into a novel, it would definitely be scolded by readers!

Tonight, such a classic routine was reappeared vividly in front of him!

"I said it, and you promised it, there won't be a second time." Han Qing decisively jumped on his mount, turned his horse and rode away, while solemnly announcing to his heart.

"I didn't see anything and there was nothing I could do."

"Don't force me, I won't care if it hurts to death. At worst, I'll give you my body back. I'll be a lonely ghost!"



Quickly roaring in his heart, he galloped out of the grain storehouse.
Chapter completed!
