Chapter 452: self stealing

Chapter 452 Guarding and stealing

Su Ying spent some money to buy a pass from shopkeeper Li.

The location of the granary mentioned by shopkeeper Li is becoming a relatively hidden place outside the city, so she has to go out of the city.

Su Ying rode to the gate of the city, and the officers and soldiers guarding the city let her out after seeing the pass.

As soon as she came out, she found that there were more disaster victims guarding outside the city gate than before. She didn't look much, and directly drove her horse towards the foot of a mountain outside the city.

The location of the granary is actually relatively open, mainly because it is afraid of too much tide, so the light must be sufficient, and the location is not far from Los Angeles.

In order not to expose the location of the granary, some small coverings were made outside the granary, but this did not stop Su Ying.

Su Ying rode a horse to the mountainside. The mountain was not steep, and he could walk on a horse.

After crossing a mountain forest, she saw rows of houses built on the mountainside.

There is no one to guard the outside of the granary, and it can be seen from a distance that the courtyard wall has become dark.

Su Ying turned over and dismounted, put the horse into the space and walked towards the granary. She took out the scanner and made sure that there was no one around before walking to the main entrance of the granary.

The gate is locked, but the facade has been so blackened that the original color cannot be seen.

Su Ying turned in from the wall and saw the granary that had been burned to pieces.

There are several rows of houses inside, but every house is burnt black, and the house is dark and dense, which is a bit oozing.

Su Ying stepped forward and pushed open the blackened door and found that there were still many burnt residues inside.

She walked up to a pile of residue and checked it carefully with her hands, and found that the burnt residue was not right, and it didn't look like the state of the food after it had been burned.

In order to make sure that there was no problem with her observation, Su Ying went to other granaries to check the situation, and finally confirmed that those piles of residue were not grain at all!

Su Ying's face was darker than the burnt black wall. Shopkeeper Li said that the granary caught fire at that time, and because the rescue was not timely, most of the grain in the granary was burned. Porridge.

But if the grain in the granary hadn't been burned at all!

There are so many grains in the granary, if you want to transport them all, it is impossible to leave no traces.

Su Ying left the granary and began to look around for traces.

This place is relatively hidden, and there are very few people who come here. In addition, there was no rain during this period of time. When he explored the back mountain, Su Ying found rows of obvious wheel marks.

Following the traces, Su Ying found a cave, but she didn't approach it immediately because someone was guarding outside the cave.

She hid in the dark and observed, and after confirming that there were only two people guarding the cave, she took out the tranquilizer gun and knocked them down.

Su Ying walked to the entrance of the cave. If she was not familiar with this kind of wild place, it would be difficult to see that there is a cave here.

She pushed aside the vines that were used to cover the hole and walked in.

There was a convective wind at the entrance of the cave, and as soon as the wind blew over, she could smell a smell of rice.

Su Ying took out the flashlight and turned it on. Rao had already thought about it, but she was still angry when she saw the neatly stacked grain in the cave.

This **** dared to steal food from the imperial court!

Su Ying went in and found that the cave was very deep, and it was almost full of food.

In order not to startle the enemy, she didn't plan to put the food into the space for the time being. After confirming the amount of food, Su Ying went out of the cave to wake up the two guards, lest they find anything abnormal.

The sun had already set when Su Ying came down from the mountain, and she wanted to rush to the city before dark.

As night fell, the streets in Los Angeles, which were originally not lively, seemed even more deserted.

Zhou Qing simply ate some dry food and planned to go to bed. She will go out of the city to meet the empress tomorrow morning!

Zhou Qing was lying on the bed, feeling unspeakable excitement in her heart. Just as she was about to fall asleep in a daze, she suddenly smelled a burning smell.

She opened her eyes vigilantly and walked to the window to check the situation, only to find that the inn was on fire.

The inn is a wooden building, and in addition to the dry weather, the fire quickly became bigger.

Zhou Qing took out the cloth towel from his body and poured the remaining half pot of water on the cloth to cover his mouth and nose, then bent down and pushed open the door and ran out.

But she didn't go downstairs immediately, but knocked on the door of the next door. She knew that Su Ying saved a pair of grandparents and grandchildren and lived next door.

"Open the door, open the door!"

But no matter how Zhou Qing knocked on the door, there was no movement inside.

The fire woke up the tenants of the inn, and many sober people ran out of the guest rooms and rushed to the lobby to escape, but the door of the inn was locked from the outside!

"Help, open the door, cough, cough... help..."

"Open the door, open the door..."

The thick smoke in the inn was getting heavier and heavier, making them almost unable to open their eyes.

Zhou Qing gritted his teeth and knocked open the door. As soon as he entered, there was a billow of thick smoke.

The fire has reached this room, and the grandparent and grandson may have been fainted by the thick smoke. At this time, they were lying on the bed without any movement.

Zhou Qing almost crawled to the bedside lying on the ground to save someone, but even if she had the skills, it would be difficult for her to carry both of them out in this situation.

Zhou Qing gritted her teeth, picked up the child, turned around and ran out, but the fire was too big to run out, and was trapped by the burning fire and thick smoke.

It was already dark when Su Ying returned to the city gate. After she showed her pass, the officers and soldiers of the city guard did not let her enter the city immediately.

"Are you going out to buy goods? Why did you come back after you haven't been out for a long time?" Now the number of people who go out of the city is limited every day, and anyone who goes out on official missions can remember it familiarly.

"I was supposed to go out to pick up the goods, but something went wrong with that batch of goods and now I can't make it through."

Now it's normal that there are thugs or disaster victims whose food is prone to problems.

After confirming that there was nothing wrong with Su Ying, the officials released him into the city.

There were no pedestrians on the road, Su Ying galloped all the way, and just returned to the street where the inn was located, and found that the whole street was surrounded by billowing thick smoke.

An ominous premonition arose in Su Ying's heart. Instead of running over in a hurry, she found a hidden place and entered the space to find a fire-resistant suit and a smoke mask. After wearing them, she rode out towards the thick smoke. place to run.

After getting closer, she realized that the inn where she stayed was on fire!

Su Ying's pupils shrank, quickly got off her horse and approached, when she heard desperate cries for help from the inn.

Su Ying walked to the door only to find that the door of the inn was welded to death from the outside.

Gritting her teeth, she took a step back and kicked the four corners of the door panel. The door panel "boomed" a few times, and fell to the ground in an instant.

The moment the door of the inn was kicked open, there was a puff of thick smoke, almost covering Su Ying.
