When the fire finally went out and people could enter, it was already half an hour later.

The soldiers who put out the fire ran out one by one, with burns on their faces and bodies. They hurriedly asked the doctor to come over to check. Song Huaiyi sent another team to check the safety situation inside. If there is a flame that has not yet been extinguished, it must be extinguished. If there is a possible collapse of the beam, it must be dealt with.

Finally, they waited until these people came out and reported: "It's safe."

When I heard this, I subconsciously moved out the car door.

But before I could lean out, Pei Yuanxiu spoke outside and said, "You can't go in."

"Why?"

"You are pregnant," his tone was a little harder this time: "You can't enter such a place regardless of whether there is danger or not."

“…”

Then I remembered that when they were in Huai'an before, they were all said to have killed people outside the door as the child in my stomach. Now that the government office has been burned down by a fire, many people must have died. Moreover, the tragic situation of those corpses will only be even more terrible than any time I saw a dead person.

Seeing that I was stunned, he said again: "No one is allowed to come out."

“…”

I bit my lower lip, and hesitated a little. I looked up at his eyes that were so firm that it was completely uncontroversial that I finally nodded.

He then felt relieved and called a few more people to guard the carriage. No matter what happened, they were not allowed to leave here. Then he led a team of people to enter the charred government office with Song Huaiyi, the Cui family father and son, and Xie Feng.

I could only sit by the window curled up and poked my head out to look outside.

Flashes of smoke were still coming out of the ruins, and the heat was still not dissipating. You could still hear the water splashing on the scorching wall and the sizzling sounds made on the stone wall. After their teams entered, almost everyone held their breath, looked at the charred door quietly, waiting for the reaction inside.

My heart almost stopped beating.

It took a long time before Pei Yuanxiu and the others slowly walked out of it.

Although the temperature inside was still very hot, many people were baked and sweating heavily when they were in and out, and their bodies were stained with a lot of carbon plaster. Only he went in and out, his long gown was still spotless. Except for the expression on his face, he became paler, and there was not even a drop of sweat on his face. In those eyes, frost seemed to be condensed.

He walked out slowly and stood at the door and stopped.

Song Huaiyi and the others followed, but the situation of these people was not that good. Perhaps the situation inside was too tragic. After Song Xuan came out, his face was full of unconcealed pain. When he stepped out, he tripped and almost fell to the ground.

Song Mi, who was beside him, pulled his arm and whispered: "Be careful."

"Um……"

Choi Tae and his son who followed him out did not look good either.

As soon as I saw them like this, I hurriedly got out of the carriage and walked forward. When I saw me coming, Pei Yuanxiu walked down the steps a few steps and stopped me under the stone steps.

I tried to look in, and he spread his arms: "You can't look."

"I--"

Even though I said so, I still couldn't block my view. I saw some situations near the gate at a glance - such as charred ground, collapsed beams, and deformed corpses.

After just a glance, my face turned pale, and Pei Yuanxiu immediately stepped forward and blocked my sight with his body tightly, and his tone almost became stern: "I said, don't look!"

This time, without his instructions, I didn't even dare to lift my head.

Cui Tai and the others came over and said softly: "Young Master, I'm afraid I can't find any clues in this way."

Pei Yuanxiu frowned and asked again: "What's the situation in other parts of the city?"

Song Huaiyi hurried over and said, "There is no resistance at all, and their defenders cannot be found."

Pei Yuanxiu said: "From your battle situation last night, at least there were hundreds of soldiers guarding the city. What I just saw inside - but only dozens of people, and a hundred people, how could they disappear out of thin air?"

At this time, Song Mi and Song Xuan came over, and Song Mi said softly: "Can it be when the city gate was opened in the early morning and they rushed out together among the refugees?"

Pei Yuanxiu fell silent.

Everyone around them also remained silent. At present, it seems that the most likely thing is that.

From what he said just now, there were also dead people in the government office, dozens of them were burned to death, and some of them were mixed with refugees and left the city. So now, is there no official or a soldier in Cangzhou City?

Of course, they could send people to the city and ask the people who were unable to escape and were like corpses.

However, I am afraid that even a few generals guarding the city may not really know about such a secret matter, let alone these ordinary people, and it is even more impossible for them to spread the news.

They asked those refugees to rush out of the city and burned the government offices again. So many people died. Isn’t it just to protect this secret?

Thinking of this, I was also a little trembling.

For a person and a secret, these people can actually do this, and even give up their lives!

For them, life may be very important, but there are some things that are more important than life!

At this time, I didn't dare to look at Song Xuan's face, but I could feel the touch and torment in his heart at this moment. Pei Yuanxiu frowned and said nothing, and everyone else around him fell silent at this moment.

At this moment, Xie Feng walked out quickly from behind.

He said, "Young Master, look!"

When Pei Yuanxiu heard his voice, he quickly turned around. I also raised my head and saw that Xie Feng's face was stained with a lot of coal ash. It seemed that some burnt places were covered with it. His hands were also dyed black by charcoal ash, but there was a piece of not so black on his palm.

It was a very small piece of silk-like thing, and it was burnt all around, probably only this one left was not burned out. I don’t know where Xie Feng found it.

Pei Yuanxiu frowned immediately when he saw it.

After a little identification, my heart skipped a beat.

Although this thing was found by him from the fire and was burned around him, under the sun, the thing slowly emitted a bright yellow luster, which was its original luster.
