The back garden is full of flowers and trees. Even the pavilions are made of wood. Coupled with the dry weather, they burn very fast.

The fire kept spreading in the middle.

Thick smoke billowed up.

Xiao Xi and Yu Jiu were forced to retreat.

At last they hid back in the cave.

Xiao Xi covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves. Her eyes were red with smoke, and physiological tears came out.

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

The flame devoured all the flowers and trees in front of it, emitting thick smoke and drilling straight into the cave.

There is less and less oxygen in the narrow and dark cave.

Xiao Xixi can't hold it anymore. She wants to rush out for a breath of fresh air.

However, as soon as his front foot stepped out, he was frightened back by the fire.

She accidentally bumped into Yu Jiu behind her.

Yu Jiu raised her hand and said hoarsely.

"I can't get out."

The whole back garden has been burned. If they rush out, they may be roasted into two charred bodies alive.

Even if they are lucky enough to rush out of the fire alive, they will certainly be caught by the rebels outside.

The fire was obviously ordered by immortal Tianyan. His purpose of setting fire was to force Xiao Xi and Yu Jiu out. If they rushed out, they would be caught by themselves.

Of course, Xiao Xi guessed this.

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

Yu Jiu raised his red eyes. His eyelashes had been wet by physiological tears. Half of his swollen cheeks were more and more bright red by the fire, and a trace of dried blood was still in his mouth.

He looked at the raging fire outside the cave, as if he could see the picture of himself being swallowed up by the fire, and muttered.

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

……

Outside the back garden, thousands of rebels were ready.

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

As long as someone rushes out of the sea of fire, they will take them down immediately.

However, after waiting for a long time, I couldn't wait for people.

On the contrary, I waited for an unexpected and amazing news.

A soldier rushed over and shouted in horror.

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

Luo Da's face changed when he heard this.

He grabbed the soldier and asked fiercely.

"Isn't the Imperial Army blocked outside the city gate? How can they rush in?!"

Although the gate is not a problem for thousands of Imperial troops. They can break through the gate with a little effort, they are afraid that the rebels will jump over the wall and kill those innocent people, so they have never forcibly attacked the city.

So far, Rhoda has not received any news of the enemy attacking the city.

Now he suddenly told him that the imperial army had invaded, and his first reaction was not to believe it.

He even suspected that the soldier in front of him was an insider placed in the city by the imperial court and deliberately talked nonsense to disturb the morale of the army.

But soon Luoda knew that it was not the nonsense of the soldier in front of him, but that there was an enemy attack!

Rebels kept coming this way, shouting as they ran.

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

Luo Da threw away the soldier who had been scared like Earth in front of him and explained to the people around him to let them stay here, while he himself rushed to the highest attic nearby.

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

Through the dim moonlight, he saw that a group of people had been killed into the county government and were rushing towards the backyard.

Those people wore the same clothes as the rebels. At first glance, they looked like the rebels. However, it can be seen from their actions against the rebels' swords that they were definitely not rebels.

They are from the imperial court!

Luo DA can't believe that the city gate has not been broken. How did these people sneak into the city?!

He jumped down with lightness skills, landed steadily on the ground, and hurried towards the study.

Immortal Tianyan's injury hasn't healed yet. The whole person looks sick and wilting.

He looked down into the cot.

In the crib lay a young baby.

As a premature baby, the child looks thinner than an ordinary baby.

A young woman with the appearance of a wet nurse knelt on the ground and dared not breathe.

Immortal Tianyan looked at the thin baby, frowned and murmured softly.

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

The nanny felt numb and immediately buried her head lower.

Luo Da strode in, ignored the ceremony and opened the sidewalk.

"Sect leader, things are bad. The enemy rushed into the county government!"

Immortal Tianyan shook his hand, and the bowl in his hand fell to the ground and fell in two.

He suddenly stood up and asked fiercely.

"Is it serious?"

Luo Da: "I saw with my own eyes that they are about to rush to the backyard. What should we do now, sect leader? Do you want to transfer some of the troops in the city?"

Most of their troops were concentrated near the city gates in order to prevent the enemy from attacking from the city gates.

Secondly, some troops were also arranged throughout the city, mainly to prevent chaos among the people in the city.

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

Because the county government is in the center of the city and surrounded by the rebels, it should be the safest place. As long as the external defense is not broken, the county government cannot be in danger.

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

Immortal Tianyan's mind suddenly changed.

He had guessed that the people of the imperial court should enter Youmen county through a secret road.

Although the secret roads he had dug in advance can reserve a way for him, they will also leave him a great hidden danger.

If someone knows the entrance of the secret way, it is tantamount to opening a convenient door to the enemy.

Therefore, he covered the exact locations of the secret passages, and only a few people knew.

Yu Jiu is one of them, and the spy who is responsible for helping deliver the letter is also one.

Immortal Tianyan doesn't know whether Yu Jiu or the spy revealed the secret way.

Now is not the time to investigate these. The urgent task at present is to solve the enemy who rushed in as soon as possible.

Immortal Tianyan asked, "haven't Yu Jiu and the imperial concubine come out yet?"

Luo Da shook his head: "No."

Immortal Tianyan frowned and was very disappointed.

If there were any imperial concubines as hostages, they might be able to make the emperor throw a mouse scare.

Immortal Tianyan's eyes turned and fell on the young nurse kneeling on the ground.

He said suddenly.

"Show me your hand."
