690 Chapter 689 of “The quick-traveling girl prepares to knock down the male protagonist”
byMy love is more real than the country (one hundred and twenty-seven)
Time passes little by little, and soon it is the end of the Chou period. It is when the sun is about to rise and the moon is about to set. When the sun and the moon intersect, people will be particularly tired.
Seeing that the shift was about to be handed over in more than half an hour, the file tower was still quiet as usual, and there was no movement at all. The guard secretly laughed in his heart that he was thinking too much. Finally, he couldn’t help it, and moved his head bit by bit, like a chicken pecking at rice. He just put his head on his hands and squinted!
Vaguely, she seemed to smell a faint smell of smoke, which lingered in her nose. It was vague at first, but later on, it became so strong that she started to choke.
She stared in confusion for a while, and when she was too exhausted by the smoke, she suddenly woke up and stood up with a frightened “bang” – she accidentally kicked over the chair behind her.
The guard ran out in a hurry. As expected, the smell of smoke outside was already strong and pungent, and the tower three or two feet away, used to store the archives of past dynasties, seemed to have been doused with kerosene. It burned like a wind and clouds, with thick smoke billowing and a bright fire.
She took a breath of cold air, but she choked on a piece of cigarette ash and coughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes.
When she finally regained her breath, she looked up again and saw that the fire in the tower had actually spread to the surrounding areas due to the wind.
Fire shot into the sky.
She was shocked and almost shouted, “It’s gone!!!”
One side blew the whistle hanging on his chest.
“Beep…” sharp whistle warnings quickly broke the tranquility of the early summer morning.
The first to rush in were the soldiers who were on duty at night. When the leader saw the fire and the guard’s hands and feet shaking, and it was not yet the height of summer, his head and face were covered with sweat and he couldn’t even stand still. He hurriedly asked, “Has the backup of the files inside been shelved again?”
The guard trembled for a while, then said, “The people around Mr. Yan said that they are planning to put aside the backup today…”
The leader was also frightened and hurriedly said to the people on the side, “Go find some wood and break open the tower door!”
Then he said to the guard, “As soon as the door is opened, put out the fire if you can. If you can’t put out the fire, just grab as much of the stuff inside as you can!”
Before the guard could reply, he heard a “bang” and the entire five-story pavilion collapsed, causing dust, wood slag, and sparks to fly everywhere.
No longer caring about the rest, everyone retreated three to four feet in unison to avoid the surging heat wave.
The foreman’s face turned pale, and he almost yelled at the soldiers at the back, “Hurry up and urge the fire team! Divide a team into the front to fetch water, don’t let the fire spread!”
He turned around and asked the guard, “Where are Master Yan’s people? How can such an important file be guarded by only one person!”
Everyone knows that this dossier was recorded from the time of Empress Wu Sheng. Many of the dossier’s history is very precious, and there are even some cherished picture albums. Now they have been burned. Not to mention the minister of Dali Temple and Master Yan Suiyan will definitely be itchy with hatred. If Dali Temple is burned again, I am afraid that both crimes will be punished, and even the Queen will want to eat people!
Under the command of the foreman, the soldiers of Dali Temple hurriedly carried water to put out the fire.
The latent fire team arrived quickly. As soon as they arrived at the ground and started putting out the fire, Tang Wanru, who was staying in the back office tonight due to official business, came over in a hurry.
“Sir!” The team leader stepped forward and saluted.
The guard stood there dumbly, as if he had lost consciousness. He did not salute or say hello to Tang Wanru.
Tang Wanru had no time to pay attention to her, but hurriedly said to a prison officer who rushed over, “Go and invite Mr. Yan! Only two days after the file was handed over to him, such a big thing happened! Why did Mr. Yan not even have a few guards?If you can’t afford it, don’t you know the importance of the files to Canglan Country?The Queen assigned him a heavy responsibility, but he was so negligent. I gave him a good file, but something big like this happened. He should be told…”
Before she finished speaking, she saw Si Zhi hurriedly coming outside and said, “Sir, Master Yan is here!”
“So fast? Invite him in quickly!” Tang Wanru felt strange at first. The timing of Yan Sui’s arrival was a bit strange, but thinking of his plan, he quickly suppressed his doubts.
Yan Sui strode through the door, followed by Lin Qiao and the other two people who had been waiting on the other side and waited for Yan Sui to appear before following him.
Tang Wanru’s face was full of anxiety, and she only had time to exchange hands with Yan Sui, and then sighed: “Yan Sui, look at the ridiculous things you have done! How could you, how could you not send more people to guard such an important file! Look, I handed the file to you properly, but in just two days, all the files of the past… are now… burned to the ground!”
Tang Wanru’s tone was sad and sad, but more of a complaint and anger towards Yan Sui. She looked at Yan Sui as if waiting for his response.
The expression on Yan Sui’s face was very strange, as if he was relieved, but also regretful. After a while, he just said, “Let’s put out the fire first.”
