"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 870
"Quick, go put out the fire!"
The rebels stationed around the granary were transferred up, but to no avail, they had to call for help urgently.
Another rebel barracks near the suburbs boiled like water in a hot pot.
The sleeping rebel soldiers were awakened in their sleep, and then rushed to the fire scene sleepily.
A long line of torches gathered from all directions to the granary of the general warehouse, and they tried to extinguish the flames here.
However, the fire was not controlled at the beginning, and the distance between the granaries was too close, causing the entire granary to be full of smoke and flames.
The fire reflected half of the sky red, so that the palace of the rebel emperor Long Tian could see the fire burning in the distance.
"what happened?"
"It seems that the general warehouse is on fire."
Seeing the fire in the distance, the soldiers standing guard around the palace bowed their heads and whispered.
"Quickly check the situation!"
The leader of the shadow guard and the captain of the guard also showed serious expressions when they saw the fire in the distance, and hurriedly sent people to investigate the situation.
But as soon as their words fell, the sound of horseshoes sounded in the distance, and a cavalry officer came galloping on horseback.
"Report!"
Soon, a black-smoked cavalry officer galloped to the front, and was immediately surrounded by shadow guards and golden armored guards.
"who are you?!"
Seeing this cavalry officer with a painted face, a soldier in gold armor asked coldly.
"I am Zhao Long, a thousand-man defense general of the general treasury. I have something important to report to Your Majesty!"
"whats the matter?"
After a general in golden armor heard the words, he stood on the steps and asked.
"Reporting to the general, the general warehouse has caught fire, and the fire is fierce. It is urgent to send reinforcements to fight the fire!" The officer said in a hurried voice.
"Don't you have so many people, why do you still need reinforcements?"
"The fire is too big, and we don't have enough people."
"This matter is extremely urgent, please report to His Majesty immediately, General."
"Your Majesty has fallen asleep and disturbed His Majesty, can you bear it?"
"But"
"After dawn, we will report to His Majesty, you can go back."
General Jin Jia and their mission is to guard the safety of the palace, and now the general warehouse is on fire, but it has nothing to do with them.
The cavalry officer who reported the letter wanted to go in to report, but was intercepted. He also blushed anxiously, and finally had to ride his horse away and go back to report the situation.
"It seems that the fire is indeed not small."
Seeing that half of the sky in the distance was covered in red, General Jin Jia couldn't help but frowned.
"Do you want to report to His Majesty?" General Jin Jia turned his gaze to the leader of the shadow guard standing next to him.
"Your Majesty doesn't like being disturbed in the middle of the night. If you are not afraid of reprimands, you can go." The leader of the shadow guard said.
"But the general treasury has a lot to do with it. If the fire is not extinguished in time, His Majesty will blame you, and you and I can't afford it." General Jin Jia said worriedly.
"Our mission is to protect His Majesty's safety. Even if the general treasury burns out, His Majesty will not be able to blame our heads. It was the head of the general who guarded the general treasury."
The leader of the shadow guards thought of the recent bad relationship between the garrison and their shadow guards, and wished that they would be dismissed by the emperor and investigated.
"Should we send some people to help fight the fire?"
"The thieves said they wanted to assassinate His Majesty. At this juncture, if we send people to fight the fire, what if we fall into the trick of the thieves?"
After hearing the words of the leader of the shadow guards, General Jin Jia also suddenly realized, and immediately ordered everyone to stick to their posts and not to leave their posts without authorization.
The garrison outside the city was unable to put out the fire. They wanted to report to Long Tian, ??but they were intercepted again. As a last resort, their general had to go to the palace to report the situation in person.
"I disturbed His Majesty, I will bear the consequences!"
Seeing that the urgency is so urgent now, the shadow guards and guard captains guarding here still refuse to report to Long Tian, ??and the general of the garrison is also furious.
Amidst the angry curses of the garrison generals, they finally woke up Long Tian from his sleep.
"What, the general warehouse is on fire?"
When Long Tian learned that the general warehouse was on fire, he was also shocked.?
You must know that the general warehouse in the suburbs is the largest of their three major general warehouses. If something goes wrong, it will have a great impact.
Long Tian hastily opened the window, seeing the flames soaring into the sky in the distance, his expression also changed wildly.
"Why not put out the fire?!"
"Your Majesty, someone set the fire on purpose. Our troops have been mobilized, but we still can't control the fire. We urgently need reinforcements."
"Mobilize all the people in the city to fight the fire. If the general warehouse burns down, I want your heads!"
Long Tian was also furious, and immediately ordered the people in the whole city of Pingyang Province to go to the outskirts of the city to fight the fire.
Following Long Tian's order, the people in the capital city of the entire Pingyang Province were mobilized.
Under the urging of the officers and soldiers, they rushed to the outskirts of the city to rescue the fire in the general warehouse.
The capital of Pingyang Province is now the base camp of the rebels. There are countless merchants and people gathered here, and there are more than 200,000 people.
More than 200,000 people rushed to fight the fire outside the city in a mighty manner, which was quite spectacular and became a beautiful landscape.
However, among the 200,000 people, there are also quite a few spies from the imperial court and various forces.
When they saw the general treasury of the rebel army on fire, they were also very happy, and they couldn't help giving the Qinghe army a thumbs up.
The Qinghe army retaliated when they said they would retaliate, and they made such a big commotion as soon as they came, which made them admire the Qinghe army.
"The thieves are powerful, so we might as well give the rebels a fire to make them burn better, and we can plant all of them on the thieves."
The fire outside the city caused the capital of Pingyang Province to be extremely lively, and all forces were also ready to move.
When the people of the whole city were dispatched to fight the fire, and the army also drove up, some hidden forces began to take action.
Compared with the Qinghe Army, they have more people lurking here, and their relationship network is more complicated.
The Qinghe Army's action was just a start, and they were naturally not far behind, and wanted to make trouble.
When people outside the city were fighting the fire, assassins belonging to different forces in the city also took action one after another.
? They launched an attack on the mansions of Wencheng generals who held great power in the rebel forces.
Because everyone's attention was attracted by the fire outside the city, the raid of these assassins was very successful.
?In just one night, the chief of staff of the rebel forces was killed, the governor's mansion of Pingyang Province was bloodbathed, all 98 members of the family were killed, and more than 20 important officials were killed or injured.
If the rebels stationed in the city hadn't hurriedly dispatched reinforcements after hearing the shouting in the city, the civilian and military generals of the rebels might have lost more that night.
When the forces of all parties saw that there were troops taking to the streets to reinforce the martial law, they stopped one after another and hid again.
In order to avoid the pursuit of the army, they took advantage of the situation and set fire to the city, which made the capital city of Pingyang province also ablaze. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
