Hearing Zhen Yan tell him such secrets when he came up, Cao Xiu's heart suddenly jumped: in Jizhou, he had to learn not to trust anyone around him.
Even if this person had worked hard to put out the fire before, Cao Xiu couldn't let Cao Xiu just go away.
Treat him as one of your own.
Therefore, Cao Xiu replied with a gloomy expression: "Thank you very much, Master Zhen, for reminding me, but at this time, it's better to put out the fire first."
Zhen Yan was interrupted by Cao Xiu's words, and there was no trace of shame or embarrassment on her face.
Just looking at Cao Xiu, he couldn't help but feel a little more approving.
At this time, the entire granary was completely enveloped by the fire dragon, with fireworks swirling and the sound of peeling peeling coming from time to time.
A group of villagers and soldiers were beaten desperately with brooms and wet hemp in panic.
Many of them were accidentally licked by the flames and died in the sea of fire.
Seeing this, Cao Xiu couldn't help but glance around, and suddenly asked: "Why is there no water in the tank?"
The direction he pointed was a row of large tanks.
He had personally inspected them yesterday and they were all filled with water in case of fire.
Zhen Yan became embarrassed at this time and said: "The weather is hot, and many villagers are rough and rough.
They take water to take a shower on the spot, so that after pouring a few buckets of water, the water in the tank is exhausted."
"Absurd" After hearing this, Cao Xiu couldn't help stamping his feet and getting angry, and said: "If this was in our Cao family, he would have been taken out and beheaded long ago."
However, after these words fell behind, Cao Xiu immediately understood that he had said the wrong thing again: this was originally the territory of the Zhen family, and it was also the home of the Cao family for begging.
In front of the head of the Zhen family, Cao Xiu said that the Zhen family village was strong.
They should all be beheaded.
Those unintentional words would naturally make Zhen Yan take the meaning behind his words.
Sure enough, Zhen Yan looked very unhappy after hearing this.
However, if Cao Xiu had observed carefully at this time, he would have discovered that the look on Zhen Yan's face was not that she was angry that Cao Xiu was talking nonsense, but that she was ashamed and fearful because of Cao Xiu's accusation.
But just when Cao Xiu was about to explain to Zhen Yan, a voice like the cry of an oriole suddenly came, which attracted Cao Xiu.
"There are wells dug around the granary.
The general can ask the old man of the Zhen family to lead the soldiers to fetch water.
Although it is time-consuming, it will not cause any more lives."
After hearing this, Cao Xiu patted his head: At this time, he was so anxious that he even forgot about the well in the Zhen family granary.
I couldn't help but look back and wanted to thank that person for the reminder.
But when he suddenly turned around, Cao Xiu could no longer look away.
The girl in front of her looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, but she was born with natural beauty, a pretty face with green silk stockings, and the baby fat that had not faded over time, making people unable to help but look at her twice.
Wearing a brocade white plain dress, she outlines her beautiful curves that are full of the slenderness of a girl.
Her eyes are so clear that they can reflect the stars and moon in the night sky, but there is a calmness that is very inappropriate for her age. and calmness.
Normally, a girl of this age does not have much feminine charm.
It should be more about the purity and beauty of the girl that makes people yearn for it.
But the girl in front of me is different.
Although she has not fully bloomed yet, she feels like a budding epiphyllum in the night, as if people will see the thousand-year-old epiphyllum at any time.
The most beautiful and stunning when released.
Cao Xiu had performed well before, but after the girl appeared, he suddenly revealed the inner emptiness of a sixteen-year-old boy, and asked with a slight hesitation: "Who are you?"
Before the girl could answer, Zhen Yan said to the girl: "Little sister, why are you here?"
Hearing Zhen Yan's words, Cao Xiu immediately understood the identity of the girl and couldn't help but said: "So you are Zhen Mi, who ranked seventh in Xu Shaoyuedan's evaluation of Qun's fragrance spectrum."
After saying these words, Cao Xiu suddenly had a good impression of Xu Shao from Runan: Cao Xiu had always scorned those ranking lists, thinking that they were just a way for the Xu family to gain fame and reputation.
Especially after Xu Shao listed Ma Chao as the number one young hero of the Han Dynasty, Cao Xiu even wanted to find an opportunity to eradicate the Xu family.
But now that he saw Zhen Mi, Cao Xiu felt that Xu Shao deserved to die even more.
Although this woman did not seem to have a huge advantage at the moment, it was obvious that when she grew up, she would be able to dominate the country and dominate the world. , but ranked her below Diao Chan, Cai Yan, Jiangdong Erqiao and others, which really made Cao Xiu feel that Xu Shao was blind.
However, this is really not the time to think about how to bring order to Zhen Mi.
Cao Xiu tried his best to look away from Zhen Mi and looked for Lu Xiang: his Cao family's soldiers, even if they didn't have to give orders, would probably take water from the well to put out the fire at this time, while those idiots under Lu Xiang, Cao Xiu didn’t dare to vouch for it.

However, as soon as he turned around, Cao Xiu discovered that Lu Xiang had already arrived behind him with two thousand soldiers.
But those people were still wearing armor and had steel knives hanging from their waists at this time, which immediately made Cao Xiu very angry: "General Lu, the chaos has been settled now.
All you need to do is get water to put out the fire.
You let the soldiers wear armor, Do you think they have too much strength?"
Lu Xiang blushed and ordered the soldiers to take off their clothes, armor and weapons and throw them on the ground.
For a while, the ground made a "crackling" sound.
"Transport the food first, then put out the fire."
Cao Xiu gave the instruction with a stern face: Although saying this might sound like overestimating the host, in fact, he knew that he had already cum a lot tonight.
No matter how much you try, it's nothing.
Thanks to Cao Xiu's previous intimidation of Lu Xiang, Lu Xiang obeyed Cao Xiu's words, and Zhen Yan cooperated fully.
Thousands of people quickly divided the work into three teams, with a maximum of one pair.
Under the command of Zhen Yan, the fire-fighting pioneer, they began to risk their lives to carry grain and grass.
One team went to get water to support the villagers who were fighting the fire, trying their best to prevent the fire from spreading to other granary buildings.
The last team of a few people followed Cao Xiu and went straight to the granary that caught fire first: the fire in that granary had been put out, and Cao Xiu wanted to know the cause of the fire After going back and forth to investigate, Cao Xiu actually had a rough idea of the cause of the fire: According to the villagers who escaped the fire, the first fire in the granary may have been caused by rats eating down lamps, causing the fire.
And because Lu Xiang's soldiers who were in charge of guarding the granary tonight were stationed outside the camp, they did not stop the fire in time and allowed the fire to burn.
Cao Xiu did not show any doubts about this statement on his face, but he was full of doubts in his heart: If it was a simple accident, then why would Lu Xiang order the soldiers to be stationed in the outer camp today.
The first person to discover the fire was Zhenjia Zhuang.
But if it was said that someone deliberately set the fire on fire, then why did the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, who had not slept a wink all night and monitored the granary closely, not find anything suspicious at all?
However, just when Cao Xiu couldn't bear the heat, he saw a strange corpse: next to a copper pillar that had been burnt red, the corpse had only slight burns, and looked like a strange corpse. posture, lying on the ground.
This granary was the first place where the fire broke out.
All the grain and grass had been burned and the lamps and copper pillars were burned red.
The temperature and time were enough to burn a human body to black.
Cao Xiu remained calm and pretended to be considerate of everyone.
He used the smoke as an excuse to let Zhen Yan, Lu Xiang and others retreat first.
Then, he turned over the body and saw something that shocked him.
In the arms of the corpse, there was a letter that had been burned with most of its contents remaining: this person used his own body to protect the contents of the letter.
Moreover, what is even more bizarre is that Cao Xiu also discovered that this person was not burned to death while putting out a fire, but was killed with a knife.
Taking out the letter, Cao Xiu read it briefly, and his face immediately turned pale with fright: At this time, he finally understood why Lu Xiang stationed his soldiers outside the city today, and the fire burned so strangely
