C15 Flame Night Candle City
Is it really going to be set on fire?
He was going to take advantage of the fire and take advantage of the situation.
This was the simplest and most effective method.
The people on the street first cried out in surprise, then stopped to watch. After all, the fire was still far away.
Only a portion of them were shocked at first, then shouted loudly: "My house is over there!"
Then, they ran in groups towards the direction of the fire.
There were no banks here, and there were no insurance companies. Most people, especially those who lived in the city, had their savings in the old house for the rest of their lives. If they burned it down, there would be nothing left.
In Qin Murong's previous life, he would always encounter some strange things or even unimaginable things. For example, when there was a disaster, some old people risked their lives to hold onto bottles and cans. If they did not go back to their houses to find them, they would not run away. Many of them would go back and never come out again.
This made Qin Murong, who used to be a modern person, especially puzzled.
But when he truly understood, he finally knew why they would do that.
After experiencing war, they did not believe anyone! Money had to be kept in their own house, and if they didn't have money, then... None of his relatives or friends could be counted on.
If he didn't have money, he wouldn't be able to make a living anymore. The only thing he could do was to wait for death.
Rather than dying from hunger and cold, he might as well risk his life and save his own money!
That was the sorrow of the era.
They suspected that everyone around them, even their own children, would not count on them. Moreover, when their old bodies could not get out of bed, the first thing they would be wary of was their children suffocating themselves to death with a pillow!
Qin Murong had once kissed an old man.
When he was young, he had been glorious and had some savings.
There were many children, but none of them were successful.
The old man could only continuously help them. He couldn't just watch them starve to the end of their grandchildren.
In the end, there was one time when they went out and accidentally fell down. If they went to the hospital, it would only cost two to three thousand dollars, but the children only sent the old man home, hoping that she could slowly recover on her own.
However... she did not recover. Instead, she became more serious. In the end, she could not get out of bed at all.
In the beginning, there were still children taking care of her by the side. However, when all the money was spent and needed to be filled up by the children, no one else came. In the end, they could only file a lawsuit in court, but what did they get?
The children faced the delay of the verdict and also the abuse. Other than that, there was nothing else.
When Qin Murong saw her, he was already on the verge of death.
She said that she did not hate her children, but herself.
When a person lived in this world, he still had to give himself a way out. He could not rely on anyone.
Being poor in the busy market, no one asked, being rich in the remote mountains, having distant relatives. Even in the modern world, the harmony of a family was only dependent on money and no illness.
That time, just ten minutes of conversation changed Qin Murong's entire view of life.
Now, looking at those who were walking in the direction of the flames, he once again understood what the world he was in was like.
Someone moved. Someone was quiet. That was chaos.
The entire scene gradually became chaotic.
The 300 soldiers in armor began to maintain order. The soldiers in the houses and behind the houses also began to prepare for battle.
But suddenly, two arrows appeared.
One of the arrows rushed towards Third Prince's throne seat.
Then, a figure suddenly appeared. With a flash of white light, the flying arrow was knocked down.
This one failed.
The other one flew towards the crowd and directly pierced into the eye of an onlooker, piercing out from the back of his head.
This one succeeded.
The crowd was obviously stunned for a moment. Then, they did not know which one of them screamed first. It was like a signal, causing the crowd to immediately go crazy!
Everyone shouted, cried, and madly wanted to leave this place.
Soldiers wanted to maintain order, but no one listened to them. Even if the people they faced directly feared the swords in their hands and would stop, the people behind them did not give them any chance to stop.
It was crowded, pushed, and even fought and trampled.
At this moment, the soldiers who were obviously putting on airs made the most foolish decision.
They wanted to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys. They raised their long blades and directly chopped off the heads of a few people, trying to use this method to calm the crowd down.
If it was in a calm moment, their method would be effective.
However, in such a strange time, it seemed a little crazy.
The crowd had gone mad!
The 300 soldiers' armor was instantly drowned by the tide formed by the human body. The heavy armor could not protect them either. They were forcefully squeezed to death. If they were trampled to death, the steel armor would change shape.
The other hidden soldiers also had to take action. They were the best soldiers, but pointing the spearhead at their own people was still a bit unacceptable.
They hesitated, but the thief did not hesitate!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Several arrows shot out, and the crowd immediately wailed.
Countless people were lying in pools of blood.
This was a completely different attack. Its purpose was to create a disturbance.
It was clear that they had succeeded.
And when the surrounding soldiers were stunned, they would stab the sharp blades into the chest of the people around them.
Even at death's door, those people still could not understand why they had been drinking wine and eating meat with him before, and training with him. They had been brothers for several years, and they would kill him without any expression on their faces.
Those murderous eyes were like they were killing cats and dogs, or slaughtering pigs and sheep.
This time, it was even more chaotic.
The soldiers were shocked to find that one-third of the soldiers were thieves!
Moreover, there were thieves in the crowd.
It was as if they were waiting for an opportunity, the most ingenious moment, to charge into the throne seat!
They had asked Murong to run far away.
He did not care what happened after that, but he could imagine it.
Although the government had made ample preparations this time, it was still not as complete as the thief.
The key was that there was an insider. This would cause every soldier to suspect the people around them.
On the other hand, thieves definitely had ways to identify each other, so it was very rare for them to accidentally injure each other.
This way, one was in the light while the other was in the dark. The strength between the two was originally not equal.
This time, Little White Xiao Lann did not shout and watch the show.
After returning to the shop, she was still in shock. She jumped and said, "Young Master, you are still in shock. , what should we do? What should we do? "What is going on? Why are there thieves all of a sudden?"
Qin Murong sighed and said, "Don't worry about anything like this. Don't ask why. There are always many conspiracies behind it. It will be troublesome if we get close to it."
As he spoke, he quietly went to the back hall and opened the door to the secret room. The three of them entered and closed the door. After a few cracking sounds, the door closed tightly. There were no holes at all.
In the tunnel, he turned left and right. Qin Murong first let the two girls stay in the storage room, while he himself went to the observation room and used the secret hole to observe the situation outside.
The hole was exquisitely made. It was a street away from the main street. The hole was on one of the ordinary-looking walls. It was mottled. Even if one looked carefully, it would be hard to find where the hole was.
Kong Dao had added a protruding gem that had been polished into a mirror. It could magnify one's vision, and its function was very similar to a door mirror.
It was still chaotic outside. Panic, slaughter, flames everywhere. The world was filled with smoke. People coughed and shouted as they ran inside.
