The kitchen was not big, but the things were very messy, which caused a lot of trouble for the two people who were searching.

This was the first time that Xu Junlou sincerely thanked the cook in the kitchen for his slovenliness and slovenliness. Otherwise, the large water tank where they were hiding would have been searched long ago.

But even so, the footsteps of the searchers outside were getting closer and closer.

After all, an oversized water tank is placed in the corner of the kitchen, which is too conspicuous.

In the water tank, Xu Junlou, Fu Minqing and the other three people held their breath and stopped breathing. Their eyes widened in horror as they listened to the sounds coming closer and closer outside.

They knew very well that once the three powerless scholars were caught by this mob, there would be absolutely no room for resistance and the only result would be death on the spot.

In this extremely oppressive silence, the three of them could clearly feel the sound of footsteps stopping in front of the water tank.

In the water tank, the dark space was cramped and dull. The three people who felt a little hypoxic did not care about their physical discomfort. At this time, they just begged the people standing outside the water tank not to open the lid. Once it was opened, they could

There is no way to escape.

The person in front of the water tank hasn't left yet, and this overwhelming sense of fear makes people almost breathless.

And just when Xu Junlou and others could hardly stand the suppressed fear, a voice suddenly came over.

"The hall master asked us to go out and gather. The time has come. It's time to prevent the fire. Otherwise, if the officers and soldiers arrive after a long delay, we will all be in trouble."

Hall Master!?

In the dark and cramped water tank, the three people looked at each other and remained silent.

But their hearts were beating wildly.

As expected, these mobs are not ordinary people at all. Only Jianghu sects have titles and positions like hall masters.

Before they could think about it, they heard a voice outside the water tank saying: "I know, I'll leave right now."

Immediately afterwards, the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.

Inside the water tank, Xu Junlou waited for a while to make sure there was no one outside before he dared to get out.

The three people stuck their heads out of the water tank at the same time, occupying one direction and greedily breathing in the fresh air.

If the people outside had not left just now, even if they were not discovered, they would have suffocated to death in the water tank.

"These people are from Jianghu sect!"

Zou Chenglong took a breath and said to Xu Junlou.

Xu Junlou gritted his teeth, climbed out of the huge water tank with difficulty, and said: "I know...no wonder so many people in the world have appeared in the capital recently, damn it!!!"

"Stop talking about this now."

Fu Minqing said seriously: "Did you just hear that they are going to set fire to the Yamen... What does it smell like!?"

Just as Fu Minqing finished speaking, he suddenly felt a very special pungent smell.

Zou Chenglong was shocked and said: "It's kerosene!"

Xu Junlou's heart was beating wildly and he said: "They are pouring kerosene, and then when the fire comes down, the whole Yamen will turn into a sea of ​​flames. What are they going to do?! This is the capital, under the emperor's feet, they really dare to rebel!"

?”

"We don't have time to think about this now, run away!" Zou Chenglong said anxiously.

"How to run?"

Fu Minqing gritted his teeth and said, "It's all their people outside now. If we go out, wouldn't we be falling into a trap?"
