Chapter 468 The Method of Fire Attack (1)

Moreover, if Haikang City is broken, it is unknown whether he can still wait until the emperor returns.

Zhang Jue stroked his forehead with both hands, sat on the chair and sighed softly, then began to ponder deeply.

After Su Liuyi left the room, he asked his servants to bring horses and rushed towards the Hikang Palace not far away in the night.

Neither he nor Zhang Jue wanted to abandon Haikang County, but he did not have much confidence in defending Haikang.

And just over ten minutes later, the quietness on the front street of the Hikang Palace was suddenly broken and became unprecedentedly lively.

The heavy night was suddenly torn apart by the fire, and a mansion hundreds of meters away from the Haikang Palace was filled with fire.

"There's a fire!"

"There's a fire!"

The screams echoed on the streets, and many maids ran out of the mansions and ran towards the fired mansion.

On this front street, all the officials and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty lived. They were all high and powerful. Any fire in any mansion would naturally be a major event.

Zhang Jue, who was thinking, was shocked by the noise. He walked out of the door and asked the servant who was waiting outside the door, saying, "Which master's mansion caught fire?"

Although this family man always guarded the door, he was clear about the front street. Looking at the place where the fire was soaring into the sky, he replied: "Sir, it seems to be General Liu's mansion."

General Liu? Liu Hongyi?

Zhang Jue was slightly shocked and then said, "Call the servants quickly and go to General Liu's house to put out the fire."

The dean ran away quickly.

Although this is Su Liuyi's mansion and Zhang Jue is not their master, he certainly dare not neglect the military order.

Without waiting for these servants, Zhang Jue stomped his feet heavily and ran out of the mansion.

Unexpectedly, he had not thought of a way to deal with the Yuan army. Liu Hongyi's mansion caught fire, which made him a little upset.

And Liu Hongyi was not healed, and he was also worried about something unexpected happening to Liu Hongyi.

He was a minister in the same dynasty and had fought side by side. He admired Liu Hongyi's courage, so he naturally did not want anything to happen to Liu Hongyi.

And at this time, in Liu Mansion.

Liu Hongyi was covered in dust and cursed at his beloved young son.

But his son is a little older, how can he know what?

Liu Hongyi cursed loudly, but his son laughed and his face was full of childishness.

He Huixiang looked anxiously beside her, but she couldn't stand it and said, "Master, stop scolding Hu'er, what does he know? Let's put out the fire first!"

Liu Hongyi pointed at his bedroom with a angrily light, "Put the fire? Madam, can the fire be saved?"

He was really heartbroken.

This mansion was given to him by the emperor, but judging by the fire, he may have turned into ashes when it is put out.

Liu Hongyi was in a very heavy mood after losing his right arm. Now that he had just returned home and had not yet had a peaceful life, this happened, which even aroused all the anger in his heart, so that he almost beat his son who had never even been scolded. Even if He Huixiang persuaded him at this time, he could not get any good face.

He Huixiang knew that her husband was in pain, so she covered her mouth and shed tears silently.

Around them, many maids and servants ran back and forth, extinguishing the fire with basins, wooden barrels, etc., and some even lifted the chamber pots out.

Outside the mansion, there were also many servants from various mansions carrying water-filled utensils to help put out the fire.

Among all the ministers, Zhang Jue arrived first.

After he ran to the Liu Mansion, he ran straight to the place where the fire broke out. Seeing that Liu Hongyi was covered in dust, he was not injured, and he felt a little relieved.

He hurried to Liu Hongyi and Zhang Jue said, "General Liu, no one in the mansion is involved, right?"

Seeing that it was him, Liu Hongyi did not dare to neglect it. He suppressed his anger and bowed and said, "I will pay homage to the deputy..."

Zhang Jue held his hand, "At this time, there is no need to pay attention to these common etiquettes."

He Huixiang bowed with her hands on her waist, "I have met the adults."

But she didn't know Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue nodded, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Then he looked at Liu Hongyi again.

Liu Hongyi said: "I am worried about the military aircraft. The fire broke out. No one in the house was injured."

"It's good if there is no servant injured."

Zhang Jue said: "General Liu doesn't need to be too anxious. Just let the craftsmen rebuild the mansion."

"well……"

Liu Hongyi sighed heavily when he heard this.

He has troubles.

Although his salary in the army is not low now, it is obviously not enough to build such a big mansion.

Ask the emperor, where can he open his mouth?

Now that the treasury is empty, this is something that any minister in the court knows very well.

When he saw his son squatting on the ground and playing with flowers and plants again, he couldn't help but get angry again, "I have to beat you up today."

He ran towards his son.

But Liu Hu, who was less than two years old, still smiled and opened his tender hands at him, "Father hugs! Father hugs!"

This made Liu Hongyi's anger extinguished, and he was in place and could only stomp his feet angrily.

He Huixiang watched from the side, crying and laughing.

Seeing this, Zhang Jue said in surprise: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, is it because of your Lin'er?"

He Huixiang bowed and smiled bitterly, "It was indeed Hu'er who made a noise at night, accidentally knocked over the oil lamp and lit the bedding, which caused anger."

When Zhang Jue heard this, he looked at the fire that soared into the sky and became silent.

After more than ten seconds, he suddenly clapped his hands and said, "So hot! So hot!"

He Huixiang and Liu Hongyi's faces changed, their faces were full of strangeness, and they thought that Zhang Jue was crazy about gaining and losing his heart.

Where did you see someone's house catching a fire and shouting that it's so hot?

Isn't this gloating?

Even though Zhang Jue is the most powerful minister, his status is much higher than that of Liu Hongyi, Liu Hongyi can't help it.

He looked at Zhang Jue with a cheerful face and asked in a deep voice: "What does Deputy Military Order mean? Could it be that I came to my mansion to humiliate me?"

"Sorry, sorry."

Zhang Jue came to his senses and quickly bowed, "General Liu, don't be angry, it's Zhang who has lost his composure."

But the joy on his face could not be suppressed, "I said it was so hot, not because of this fire. But when my sister-in-law said that Ling Zi accidentally knocked over the oil lamp, she suddenly thought of a way to fight against the Yuan thief."

Liu Hongyi was stunned and blinked.

Zhang Jue said: "Our army can really use fire tactics to deal with the Yuan army, so Haikang is safe."

As he said that, he raised his hand and said, "General Liu, Zhang will lose his companion first."

Then he hurried out to the Liu Mansion.

It happened that Xiyi, Mu Kangxun, Zhang Shijie and others came together. When they saw Zhang Jue, they wanted to say hello, but Zhang Jue ran straight past them, as if they didn't even see them. His hurried look made Zhang Shijie and others stunned.
