As the words fell, the wooden barrel exploded with a bang, and flames roared to life, instantly igniting the house...Wang Miâs pupils constricted as he looked at Liu Cong, "You had prepared tung oil long ago, you intended to burn down Luoyang from the start!"
"Thatâs right. Originally, Zhao Hanzhang left me a way out, and to avoid her blocking me in the western suburbs, I hesitated about starting this fire. But since you wonât let me live, then no one else should think of living either!"
Wang Mi couldnât help but curse, "Ignorant little slave, how could you possess the heart of an emperor, dreaming of unifying the world, delusional!"
Along the street, several shops and houses had been doused in oil by Liu Cong, and firewood had been placed in some areas. As soon as the sparks flew, they instantly ignited, with the fires connecting one to another, turning everything in front of them into a sea of flames.
The three factions of soldiers, locked in a stalemate, slowed their movements, mainly because the sight of the fire was too terrifying.
Zhao Hanzhang was furious, positioning her spear between Wang Mi and Liu Cong, saying to Liu Cong, "Leave!"
Then she turned to Wang Mi, "If you donât want to die, order the soldiers to fight the fire!"he ineffectual Emperor Jin?
Previously, because several princes of Jin State and Wang Yan, Gou Xi, and others were there, he had no chance to rise. But now, with most of the Jin State princes dead and only Wang Yan and Gou Xi left, he could completely strive for a higher position.
Zhao Hanzhang left it at that.
Before Wang Miâs laughter ceased, Fu Tinghan tugged on the reins, and his soldiers immediately made way for him. His horse trotted to Zhao Hanzhangâs side, standing shoulder to shoulder with her.
Wang Mi squinted his eyes, looking at him coldly.
Having just ended a battle, his aura was intimidating, but Fu Tinghan was not afraid. Instead, he nodded slightly at him and stood still beside Zhao Hanzhang.
Wang Mi looked at Fu Tinghan meaningfully and said, "Mr. Fu has quite the courage, no wonder General Zhao never leaves his side."
Zhao Hanzhang nudged her horse, adjusting its direction just right to block Wang Miâs view of Fu Tinghan. She smiled and said, "General Wang praises too much, he just has the world in mind, hence is unafraid."
Upon hearing this, Fu An proudly straightened his chest, and Zhao Family Armyâs personal soldiers covertly eyed Wang Mi. Hmph, how could these ordinary folks comprehend the merits and mind of their Mr. Fu?
As both sides were covertly contending, the palace gate slowly opened before them, and an official came out, proclaiming loudly, "Summons for Wang Mi, Zhao Hezhen to attend the imperial audienceâ"
Zhao Hanzhang nodded to Wang Mi, letting him proceed first.
Wang Mi was not polite, tugging on the reins, he went first.
Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan followed a step behind him, their eyes meeting as they caught up with Wang Mi.
Outside the Imperial City, soldiers were working together to extinguish the fire. The fire seemed large, and fearing it would spread, the emperor chose not to see them in the main hall but met them instead in the Ministry of Industry at the edge of the Imperial City.
