Chapter 242 Fire Attack
Among this group of people, Murong Li had the most distinguished status, and the emperor had issued a death order, so nothing could happen to him, but nothing could happen to the others either.
Therefore, if they stayed in separate accommodations, if something went wrong somewhere, they would not be able to be rescued in time. There would definitely be casualties, and he would not be able to explain it to the emperor.
The emperor gave him a thousand personal soldiers, but even a thousand personal soldiers could not protect these people, and his official career was over.
Murong Li waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, those people are mainly targeting me. Please arrange the people. Every inn you stay in must be guarded by soldiers."
"What about you, Your Majesty?" General Li frowned.
"There is no need to worry. Even if someone is ignorant and comes to kill me, what will they do to me?"
Murong Li's words can be described as arrogant and domineering. Murong Li has never made a move along the way, and he has never really shown his strength. General Li has no idea of his depth.
General Li was stunned after hearing this. He was hesitant and wanted to give some advice. Murong Li was unhappy: "Arrange according to what I said. If anything happens, I will be responsible for it."
General Li had no choice but to hand over to Murong Li to make arrangements. There was nothing he could do. He was the biggest man here now. He could only obey orders. He was like an invisible man along the way. He never spoke out or made any suggestions. He just listened.
make.
General Yun took some people to an inn, and General Li took some people and Eunuch Hu to another inn.
Murong Li took the Su family, Luo Dinghai's family of three, and 300 soldiers to the largest inn in the city. Good luck came to the inn, which was owned by the middle-aged innkeeper.
As soon as they entered the inn, the middle-aged shopkeeper was secretly happy and quickly asked the waiters to come out to greet them.
He personally came out to greet Murong Li and prepared to make arrangements himself.
However, Murong Li asked Uncle Jiang and Uncle Liang to book a room and get the room key. He and other people set up carriages in the yard to prevent the waiters in the inn from touching the horses.
They have been doing this all the way, for fear that someone with evil intentions might do something to the horse.
Horses are an important part of their journey, and no accidents can occur.
Moreover, half of these horses were moved from Su Yue's space. Although the other horses have not stayed in the space, they drank spiritual spring water along the way, and their physical fitness is also very good. They can drive faster than ordinary horses.
They are too powerful, so the safety of these horses must be ensured first.
At critical moments, you can also abandon your carriage and run away.
After they made arrangements, a groom was left to guard each carriage, just in case.
Then the group of people entered the inn.
Su Yue followed the old lady. After entering the inn, she checked mentally. After scanning around, she found nothing unusual, and then nodded towards Murong Li.
In fact, it's not that the middle-aged shopkeeper didn't make arrangements, but that he had already made arrangements and was waiting for an opportunity.
Just not lurking around the inn at the moment.
The middle-aged shopkeeper had investigated Murong Li and his party. Not only did the thousand soldiers have strong martial arts skills, but Murong Li himself was also good at martial arts. They couldn't find out what was good about him.
According to the master's previous warning, Murong Li was a secretive person anyway.
So they will never be exposed before moving.
The old marquis and the old lady arranged to stay in the upper room on the third floor, while Mr. and Mrs. Su and Mr. and Mrs. Su were next door to them.
Murong Li and the two requested to be on the far side. After the other people occupied the upper room on the third floor, the rest were arranged on the second floor, and the first floor was given to the guards.
After a day's journey, everyone was exhausted. They took a comfortable bath, ate a full meal, and went to bed to rest.
There was nothing unusual at the inn during this period.
Su Yue returned to the room and did not sleep immediately.
"Murong Li, I think this inn is unusual."
The shopkeeper was so enthusiastic, as if he had known they were coming to stay for a long time and had prepared everything.
But there were no sweating pills or poisons for dinner that night, and the food was pretty good.
The shopkeeper's...
The food must be delicious. He is the best cook. It's the last meal anyway, so you might as well eat something good.
"Well, let's be careful, shopkeeper, the waiters may seem ordinary, but I always feel that they are all good people with good kung fu."
Murong Li looked at these people as if they were ordinary people, with no flaws at all, but he felt that these people had all taken the Qi Qi Pills, and their auras were still there.
He didn't believe that those who didn't want him to return to the capital wouldn't attack here, especially in the city.
There are many people in the city and the buildings are connected, which is very suitable for poison attacks and fire attacks, but it is also not conducive for people without light skills to escape.
It's not like the wild, where everything is open and you can escape no matter what you do.
"Well, you go to sleep first, and I'll keep vigil tonight." Su Yue nodded.
"No, let's get some sleep first, but if we don't enter the space, they won't take action until midnight."
At midnight, when people sleep the deepest, it is also when the soldiers patrolling below are most likely to tire out.
"Um."
The two simply slept together with their clothes on.
After falling asleep, Su Yue still used her mental power to check.
There are soldiers patrolling the inn all around. In the lobby of the inn, the shopkeeper is squinting and taking a nap. The waiters are still busy cleaning, cleaning, and organizing...
Everything is normal.
Su Yue yawned, blinked, closed her eyes and went to sleep.
midnight.
A group of men in black approached the inn quietly.
There are many big trees in the city. I saw those men in black jumping lightly onto the big trees and immediately blended into the trees. No one could be seen on the trees.
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire!"
The watchman walked through the streets beating the gong.
When the group reached a big tree, he would always stop, either to take a rest when he seemed tired from walking, or to stand at the root of the tree for convenience.
Gradually we approached the Good Luck Inn.
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire!"
The watchman struck the gong again and shouted at the top of his lungs.
When the patrolling soldiers saw that it was the watchman, they just glanced at him and ignored him.
Just after the watchman walked over, the patrolling soldier fell asleep and yawned nonstop. He had to change to the next one and fell asleep after returning.
And wherever they passed, the soldiers were also sleepy.
In half the time it took to burn the incense, the patrolling guards were almost asleep.
Suddenly, flaming arrows flew out of the big trees around the inn, whizzing towards the inn.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Countless arrows flew and hit the roof and walls of the inn.
As soon as the dry object touched the arrow filled with kerosene, it burst into flames instantly.
"Oops!"
Su Yue and Murong Li were awakened and immediately sat up.
"Well, dizzy, we've been hit."
Su Yue was shocked. She didn't expect that the arrow contained poison. When it hit the house, the poison evaporated everywhere.
