Chapter 985 985: Added ingredients [Sink into fire](1/2)
"Why is it so noisy outside? What happened?"
When the fire first broke out, the camp where the grain inspector and others were staying was far away, so they naturally didn't notice it immediately. When they noticed it, they saw an abnormal light coming from outside the camp, and the air inside the camp also heated up and became anxious. They tonight
Drinking indulgently, allowing the drunkenness to invade the whole body, making the reaction slow. When the scary thought "it's so bright that it's on fire" comes into my mind, my whole body is trembling.
At this time, the sound of messy and hurried footsteps came from outside the tent.
Also heard were soldiers shouting in panic.
"No, it's gone!"
When this voice came out, the other drunken companions in the camp were so frightened that they sat upright. When he stood up, the grain inspector's legs became weak and his body fell forward. If it weren't for his quick eyesight and quick hands, he would have been able to hold the table with his palms.
He had to fall flat on his face.
"Wha, what?"
His voice was full of disbelief.
Immediately he lost control and shouted: "How is it possible that the water is leaking?"
Although the weather is dry at this time of year, as an important part of the strategic layout of the Northern Desert, this place must be fully prepared for fire prevention. Not only are the patrols strict, but they even go to great lengths to build large above-ground warehouses. Each warehouse is fire-proof from the inside.
Several fire prevention measures were taken outside. Water tanks were placed every thirty to fifty steps to facilitate the use of water to extinguish fires when a fire was discovered.
Canals and wells were opened outside the camp where the granary was located.
The soldiers were treated even more harshly.
No matter who it is, if there is a fire that damages a granary warehouse, not only will he be hanged, but he will also be punished by all the punishments. The officer will also be flogged for several months and whipped eighty times. If the fire is more serious, he will be punished with imprisonment.
The person will also be hanged!
In this way, everything has been calm since the granary was built.
Why did the water leak today? Didn't it happen sooner or later? Or was it a sensitive period when the Northern Desert was at war with Kang State?
The grain inspector and others did not target Lin Feng with suspicion.
It's really because Lin Feng's performance was too perfect, and they have taken too many benefits from the God of Wealth over the years.
This fire not only affected the grain depot, but also the business that was certain was shut down, the cooked duck was lost, and the merchant surnamed Chen also suffered heavy losses. We are all like grasshoppers on the same rope, and we are all our own people who are closely related to each other! One loss
We all suffer, but we all gain glory!
How can one's own people harm one's own people?
The grain inspector never suspected that Lin Feng had any problems.
The more critical the moment, the faster the grain inspector's mind works.
He quickly asked: "Where is the source of the fire?"
The fire was so intense that once the higher-ups were held accountable, it would be a trivial matter for him to be dismissed from office or reduced from his position. He would be afraid that his whole family would be killed. His first reaction was to find a scapegoat and put all the blame on
On the scapegoat!
Countless thoughts came to his mind in the short distance from the camp leader's seat to the gate. But when he opened the thick tent curtain with a sullen face, heat waves rolled in and hit his face. Everything he could see was red fire, and his
My heart suddenly sank!
I swallowed the rest of the words!
There is fire in all directions!
A fire of this scale and speed of spread is obviously not caused by "careless soldiers forgetting to put out the fire"!
Someone deliberately set a fire!
This is definitely a premeditated action!
A shocking guess came to the mind of the grain inspector.
Could it be that the enemy's spies lurked in and started the fire?
If this is the case, there must be a lot of enemies sneaking in, otherwise the fire would not be able to expand to this extent in a short period of time!
Flames flew suddenly, and strong winds blew together.
There is no time to walk, and the eyes are too busy to wander.
One warehouse after another was engulfed by fire.
The spread was so fast that the grain inspector was a little skeptical - were the previous fire prevention projects all done by the enemy? Or was the exterior of the warehouse smeared with fire oil? How could it happen so fast?
The soldier who reported the news naturally did not know where the source was.
The fire started too fast, and when he realized that it was on fire, dozens of warehouses were reduced to ashes! However, he knew that besides the fire, there were also enemies! The soldiers also knew what would happen if the granaries were not protected, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's an enemy attack.
ah--"
The grain inspector's inner guess was confirmed. He grabbed the reporting soldier's shoulder with such force that he almost lost control and almost crushed the latter's bones: "Enemy attack? Enemy? Where did the enemy come from?"
Where did these enemies come from?
The grain inspector's teeth chattered with hatred: "How many enemies are there?"
His eyes were scarlet and the canthus was about to burst.
I wish I could tear all the enemies to pieces in the future.
Naturally, soldiers are not clear about these issues.
The grain inspector was so anxious that he threw the reporting soldier aside, raised his hand and turned into a weapon and rushed towards the direction of the strongest fire. His strength was not bad, and condensing a layer of martial energy around his body could temporarily isolate him from the high heat. The path
Above, the flames were deflected in half by the reckless wind, revealing a wide path.
The tongue of fire is stubborn and tenacious.
They swayed a few times with the wind, and then came back again. After a while, the broad path of flames closed again, and the fire became more powerful than before.
The fire got out of control and the guards of the granary were trapped inside.
Like a headless fly, the grain inspector grabbed the survivors in the fire scene and asked the same questions one after another. The first few people didn't know that they were here when they woke up from a coma. They didn't know which direction to rush out of the fire scene.
Seeing the grain inspector coming, it was like seeing a god. He knelt down and begged him to save his life. The granary was in danger of being saved, so how could the grain inspector care about them?
The first few were all thrown into the fire by him.
Only the last one knows the answer.
This man had half of his shoulder cut off by a sharp blade and was lying in a pool of blood. When he saw the grain inspector, his eyes flashed with a strong desire for survival and light, and he said intermittently: "Yes, it's those cooks... He, they are
spy……"
What kind of guy?
The grain inspector was stunned for a moment.
The next second, his brain felt like it was hit by a hammer.
A hammer knocked him from the fire scene into the ice cellar.
Since the decision to start the war, the Northern Desert has dispatched a large number of grain transporters to allocate grain and grass from granaries in batches. Because the first grains to be transferred are old grains from a few years ago, the grain inspectors are not afraid to hand over the dropped grains.
The clues were discovered by the above. It has been ten days since the last group of cooks left. The granary camp only has guards but no cooks. So, who are these cooks?
It can only be the deaf-mute cooks raised by the Chen family.
These deaf-mute guys—
Is it a mole? An enemy? A spy?
The grain inspector was so shocked by the truth that his mind kept buzzing and went blank, as if his soul had been pulled out of his body at this moment.
"How, how, how is it possible?"
The seriously injured soldier struggled to stretch out his blood-stained one arm.
He curled his fingers, trying to reach the corner of the grain inspector's clothes.
Her lips moved with difficulty, and her eyes were full of pleading.
"Save, save——"
Unexpectedly, a white light flashed before his eyes.
Poof - the head stained with sand and blood was swept away by the blood pillar, and rolled into the fire not far away with a roar. The pair of eyes that had not yet had time to close were frozen in shock forever, allowing the tongues of fire to climb up unsatisfied.
Wrap your head into a ball of fire.
The grain inspector's eyes were sinister.
Using a little skill with his wrist, he pulled out the saber that had sunk two inches into the ground.
The seriously wounded soldier could not survive, nor could he escape from the sea of fire. He wanted to give him a good time, so that he would suffer less pain before his death. After doing this, the grain inspector went straight to the place where the martial arts collision was the most intense without looking back.
The veins on the right hand holding the knife popped out.
He plunged headlong into the sea of fire and passed through numerous fire walls.
Seeing Su Shiyilu, a roar burst from his throat.
"Come and accept your fate!"
