Chapter 1104 They Called In!

The back garden is full of flowers, plants and trees, and even the pavilions and pavilions are made of wood. Coupled with the dry weather, it burns extremely fast.

The raging fire continued to spread to the middle.

Thick smoke billowed up.

Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu were forced to keep retreating.

At last they hid back in the cave again.

Xiao Xixi covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve, her eyes were red from the smoke, and physiological tears flowed out.

Yu Jiu was not much better than her, and coughed hard while holding onto the rock wall.

The flames devoured all the flowers and trees in front of them, and thick smoke came out and went straight into the cave.

In the small and dark cave, the oxygen is getting less and less.

Xiao Xixi couldn't hold it any longer, and wanted to rush out to take a breath of fresh air.

However, just as he stepped forward with his front foot, he was frightened by the flames rushing towards his face and backed away again and again.

She accidentally ran into Yu Jiu who was behind her.

Yu Jiu raised his hand to support her, and said in a hoarse voice.

"I can't get out."

The entire back garden was already on fire. If they rushed out, they would probably be roasted alive into two scorched corpses.

Even if they were lucky enough to get out of the sea of ​​flames alive, they would definitely be caught by the rebels guarding outside.

The fire was obviously ordered by Master Tianyan. His purpose of setting the fire was to force Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu out. If they rushed out, it would be tantamount to throwing themselves into a trap.

Of course Xiao Xixi also guessed this.

But she was suffocated, the lack of oxygen made her feel suffocated, her head was dizzy, and her body only had the instinct to breathe fresh oxygen.

Yu Jiu raised her red eyes, her eyelashes were already wet with physiological tears, half of her swollen cheeks became brighter red under the light of the fire, and there was still a trace of dried blood in the corner of her mouth.

He looked at the raging fire outside the cave, as if he could see himself being engulfed by the flames, and murmured.

"It seems that we are really going to die here today."

...

Outside the back garden, thousands of rebels are waiting in battle.

Holding weapons in their hands, they stared at the raging sea of ​​flames in front of them without blinking.

As long as someone rushed out of the flames, they would immediately take him down.

However, after waiting for a long time, no one could come out.

Instead, an unexpected shocking news came.

A soldier rushed over rolling and crawling, yelling in horror.

"The army of the imperial court has come in! They have already rushed into the county government!"

When Luo Da heard this, his face immediately changed.

He grabbed the soldier and asked sharply.

"Aren't the imperial army blocked outside the city gate? How could they rush in?!"

Although the city gate is not a problem for thousands of imperial troops, they can break through the city gate with a little effort, but they are afraid that the rebels will rush to jump over the wall and kill those innocent people, so they have been None of them forcibly attacked the city.

Luo Da has not received any news of the enemy attacking the city so far.

But now he was suddenly told that the imperial army had invaded, his first reaction was to not believe it.

He even suspected that the soldier in front of him was an internal response placed in the city by the imperial court, deliberately speaking nonsense to disturb the morale of the army.

But soon Luo Da knew that it wasn't that the soldier in front of him was talking nonsense, but that there were real enemy troops attacking in!

There are rebels running here constantly, shouting as they run.

"The imperial army is coming in! They are coming in! Run!"

Luo Da threw away the frightened soldier in front of him, and explained a few words to the people around him, telling them to stay here, while he himself rushed to the highest nearby attic.

He stood on the roof of the attic and craned his neck to look out.

Through the hazy moonlight, he saw that a group of people had indeed entered the county government office and were rushing towards the backyard.

The group of people wore the same clothes as the rebels. At first glance, they looked like people from the rebel side, but from the way they turned their swords against the rebels, it could be seen that they were definitely not rebels.

They are from the imperial court!

Luo Da couldn't believe it, the city gate hadn't been breached yet, how did this group of people sneak into the city? !

He jumped down using his lightness kungfu, landed steadily on the ground, and ran towards the study room.

Master Tianyan's injury is still not healed, and the whole person looks sick and listless.

He looked down into the crib.

In the crib lay a small baby.

Being premature, the baby looked thinner than normal.

A young woman with the appearance of a nanny knelt on the ground, not daring to take a breath.

Master Tianyan looked at the skinny baby, frowned and murmured softly.

"I don't know if this child can grow up alive."

The nanny's scalp tingled when she heard this, and she immediately buried her head lower.

Luo rushed in with big strides, ignored the courtesy, and opened his mouth.

"Master, something is wrong, the enemy army has rushed into the county government office!"

Master Tianyan shook his hand, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground and broke in half.

He suddenly stood up and asked sharply.

"Is this true?"

Luo Da: "I saw with my own eyes that they are almost rushing to the backyard. Sect Master, what should we do now? Shall we send some of the troops from the city?"

Most of their forces are concentrated near the gates in order to prevent the enemy from entering through the gates.

Secondly, some troops were also arranged in various places in the city, mainly to prevent the people in the city from causing chaos.

In contrast, the county government is the place with the least troops.

Because the county government office is located in the center of the city, surrounded by rebels like stars and moons, it should be the safest place. As long as the external defenses are not broken, the county government office cannot be in danger.

However, the county government was the first to be breached by the enemy. The so-called safest place was like a joke.

Master Tianyan's thoughts changed sharply.

He had already guessed that the people from the imperial court should have entered Youmen County through secret passages.

Although the few secret passages he had dug in advance could reserve a way out for him, they would also leave him with great hidden dangers.

In case others know the entrance of the secret passage, it is tantamount to opening the door of convenience to the enemy.

Therefore, he tightly covered the exact locations of those secret passages, and only a very few people knew about them.

Yu Jiu was one of them, and so was the spy responsible for delivering the letter.

The real Tianyan didn't know whether it was Yu Jiu or the spies who revealed the secret way.

Anyway, this is the end of the matter, now is not the time to pursue these things, the current top priority is to deal with the group of enemies who rushed in as soon as possible.

Master Tianyan asked: "Have Yu Jiu and the imperial concubine come out yet?"

Luo Da shook his head: "No."

Master Tianyan frowned, feeling very disappointed.

If there are noble concubines as hostages, they may make the emperor cast a trap.

Immortal Tianyan's eyes turned, and fell on the young nanny who was kneeling on the ground next to her.

he said suddenly.

"Hold out your hand and show me."
