Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 311: Lost

While Mr. Wen was whispering with his subordinates, Kaiyang also rushed to Jinyu Tower.

He handed the secret letter written by Xiao Jingyi to Tianxuan.

"His Highness said that we can start working on the Jinyu Tower now."

Tianxuan took the secret letter and read it.

Xiao Jingyi explained three things in the secret letter.

The first thing is that the Moon Clan’s Imperial Master is hiding in the Jinyu Tower, so we must pay attention to it.

The second thing is to search the people in Jinyulou. Anyone with the Moon Clan's Half Moon Totem will be detained. Other irrelevant people can be released as appropriate to reduce the resistance of the people in Jinyulou.

The third thing is to try to lure the snake out of its hole.

Wen Zhao had never seen the true face of the imperial teacher. Even though he was in the Jinyu Tower at this moment, mixed in with so many gamblers in the building, Xiao Jingyi's people would not be able to recognize him.

In this case, it would be better to lure the snake out of its hole, design a plan to make the national teacher reveal his true identity, and then fall into the trap set by Xiao Jingyi for him.

After being locked up for a night and cut off from the outside world, the Imperial Master must have been extremely anxious at this moment.

If he had the chance, he would definitely escape from Jinyu Tower at all costs.

After reading the secret letter, Tianxuan immediately started to make arrangements.

He arranged two teams to enter the Jinyu Tower to begin inspection.

Anyone who can clearly state their origin and place of origin, and has at least three people who can verify their identity, can go to the side to register first, and after verification, they can leave.

After the people who had been detained for a night learned about this, their original anxious mood was immediately relieved.

Those with nothing to hide lined up and cooperated with the questioning and inspection, hoping to clear themselves of suspicion as soon as possible so that they could leave quickly.

Those who had something to hide shrank back, secretly thinking about how they could sneak out.

At the same time, Tianxuan ordered people to adjust the guards outside the Jinyu Tower to be loose inside and tight outside.

They also deliberately arranged a place where the guards were lax.

If the Moon Clan's Imperial Preceptor wants to escape from the Jinyu Tower, he won't be able to go anywhere else. If he finds out that the guards here are lax, he will definitely make a plan.

Tianxuan also arranged a team of people to hide in the dark and watch. Once they found someone breaking out from here, they would not have to catch the person on the spot, but just keep a close eye on the person in secret.

I don't know if the Moon Clan's Imperial Master will take the bait with this arrangement?

Should he resort to some other tricks to entice the Moon Clan's Imperial Master into a corner?

Tianxuan was just thinking about this when he suddenly heard someone shouting at the top of his voice: "There's a fire... It's bad... There's a fire in the building..."

Tianxuan's heart skipped a beat and when he looked up, he saw thick smoke and flames rising into the sky.

The Jinyu Tower was suddenly in chaos.

Screams and cries for help came one after another, intertwining together.

At this time, everyone in Jinyu Tower rushed out regardless of everything.

No one cared about the knife-wielding officers and soldiers outside the Jinyu Tower anymore.

If you don't escape, you will be burned to death.

If you escape, there is still a glimmer of hope.

Besides, there are so many of them. Even if the officers and soldiers outside the Jinyu Tower want to kill them, can they kill them?

The officers and soldiers outside the Jinyu Tower were also dumbfounded.

The order they received was to surround the Jinyu Tower and not let anyone out.

But now the fire broke out suddenly, forcing them to watch the people in the Jinyu Tower being burned to death, and some officers and soldiers could not bear it.

The human heart is made of flesh.

The conflict between conscience and military orders put these people in a tug of war.

After only a brief moment of hesitation, someone broke through the barrier formed by the officers and soldiers.

Some soldiers remembered the military orders they had received and tried their best to stop people from rushing out.

The people in Jinyu Tower immediately clashed with the officers and soldiers outside the building, and the scene instantly became more chaotic.

Tianxuan was caught off guard by the fire.

It was the dry season now, and the fire in the Jinyu Building spread quickly. In the blink of an eye, it had spread to the second floor.

Tianxuan knew that he couldn't let the situation get worse.

Compared to capturing the Moon Clan’s Imperial Master, the safety of the people is the most important thing right now.

If they continued to block the people in Jinyu Tower and prevent them from leaving, they would be forced to be burned to death by the fire.

At a glance, there were no less than a hundred people living in Jinyu Tower.

If so many lives were lost here today, not only would he be considered incompetent, but it would also become an indelible stain on His Royal Highness Prince Yi.

Not only will the imperial censors in the court accuse Prince Yi of a crime of disregarding human life.

The other princes will also take the opportunity to add insult to injury and step hard on His Royal Highness Prince Yi.

Even His Majesty will be disappointed with Prince Yi.

More importantly, Tianxuan has followed His Royal Highness Prince Yi for so many years and knows his temper well. He is not the kind of person who disregards other people's lives and does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

If, in order to capture a traitor, he allowed hundreds of people to be burned to death today, His Royal Highness Prince Yi would no longer be His Royal Highness Prince Yi!

While Tianxuan was thinking, he had already made up his mind.

He immediately ordered: "All soldiers, listen up, save people, put out the fire!"

Upon hearing this, all the officers and soldiers breathed a sigh of relief. They immediately stopped stopping those who were escaping from the Jinyu Tower and instead rushed into the Jinyu Tower to rescue people and put out the fire!

Jinzhou City is equipped with human-powered water hoses so that when a fire breaks out in the city, the fire can be put out promptly and effectively.

The government even had a professional fire-fighting agency called the Fire Brigade.

As soon as the fire started at Jinyu Tower, in less than a quarter of an hour, the fire-fighting team arrived pushing a water hose cart.

While the fire-fighting team and the garrison officers and soldiers were busy putting out the fire, Mr. Wen and his men took the opportunity to pack up their things and prepare to leave.

Mr. Wen was a cautious person by nature, and when the fire broke out, he did not lead people out immediately.

Instead, he deliberately waited for a while before taking advantage of the chaos and joining the crowd to walk out.

Although this move is cautious, it is also very dangerous.

If something unexpected happened and he was stuck in the crowd and couldn't escape, and the fire got bigger, he would really be burned to death in the Jinyu Tower.

Yuzhu stumbled and followed Mr. Wen.

She could feel the burning heat behind her, as if if she ran a little slower, the flames would catch up with her.

The surroundings were in chaos, and countless people squeezed past Yuzhu, almost separating her from Mr. Wen several times.

Yuzhu's face turned pale and she was extremely frightened.

She didn't want to die, and she didn't want to be burned to death in the fire!

She knew in her heart that if she wanted to leave alive, she had to hold on to Mr. Wen and let him take her away with him.

But at this time, Mr. Wen felt that Yuzhu was a burden.

Taking her along caused their progress to slow down a lot.

Mr. Wen couldn't help but frown and began to think about giving up Yuzhu.

Just a woman.

As the imperial master, would he lack women by his side?

Although this woman was someone he had carefully cultivated as a chess piece to be placed beside Wen Zhao, it would be a pity to give her up just like that.

However, looking at the scene of officers and soldiers outside Jinyu Tower, Mr. Wen was not optimistic about Wen Zhao's situation.

If Wen Zhao cannot be rescued, Yuzhu's existence will be dispensable.

If Wen Zhao is rescued, it won't be difficult to arrange a woman for him again.

In this case, Yuzhu is even less valuable!
