Just as Lin Mengya expected.
There were no maids or eunuchs around her courtyard, not to mention the spies of the palaces.
In the past, no matter how late it was, there would always be someone wandering around her courtyard. It seemed that the person behind her was really at ease and left her to fend for herself.
Lin Mengya and Baisu were familiar with the path leading to the Servants Administration.
Before long, they arrived at the courtyard, which was specially prepared for the spare maids in the Servants Administration. But as soon as they arrived at the door, they smelled a trace of burning wood.
"Oh, no! Master, look!"
Baisu immediately stood in front of Lin Mengya and protected her behind her out of reflex. Looking in the direction of Baisu's finger, Lin Mengya saw a plume of thick smoke rising to the sky from a small courtyard not far away.
However, because it was dark at night, it did not arouse the attention of others.
What surprised Lin Mengya more was that at least the people in the courtyard should be able to see it. Why was the thick smoke getting thicker and thicker, but the courtyard was still quiet?
"Be careful. There's something strange."
Although Baisu was behind her, Lin Mengya still pinched Baisu's arm and whispered.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the two of them seemed to be hiding in the corner of the wall. If one did not pay close attention, he would not be able to see that there were two living people hiding in the dark.
The burning smell was getting stronger and stronger. However, the courtyard was still quiet.
After looking at each other, they tacitly hid behind the heavy gate.
The courtyard of the Servants Administration was very large, but the house was very ordinary. With Lin Mengya's current eyesight, what she saw was just an ordinary zigzag corridor.
Today, these ordinary houses were quiet and dark.
Indistinctly, the southwest corner of the backyard was already emitting an orange-red light. However, the front yard was still terribly quiet.
It seemed that there was no living thing in the yard.
Lin Mengya and Baisu did not dare to rush in, so they quietly waited outside the yard. After waiting for more than ten minutes, suddenly, a sharp voice broke through the sky.
"Oh no! There's a fire! Come and put out the fire! "
Her shrill voice was almost screaming at the top of her lungs. It seemed like he was a eunuch.
As if a floodgate had been opened, countless palace maids and eunuchs ran out of their rooms in an instant.
Lin Mengya could see clearly that those people rushed out almost at the same time.
However, an even stranger phenomenon made her confirm her guess.
That was, these people didn't just come out at weird times. Moreover, almost all of them had put on their own clothes.
Some of them even had neatly trimmed hair.
According to her understanding, although the servants of the Servants Administration needed to get up early to work. But now, at least most of them were in a dream, which was more reasonable.
If she hadn't come tonight, how would she have seen such a strange scene?
The people who ran out of the house were all in a hurry to find something to put out the fire. Taking advantage of the chaos, Lin Mengya and Baisu slipped into the backyard of the Servants Administration.
Her intuition told her that this fire must have something to do with Pearl.
Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence? As soon as Pearl came back, there was such an inexplicable fire in the Servants Administration.
Rather than saying that these people had made an appointment, it would be better to say that they were waiting for a signal.
Thinking of this, Lin Mengya couldn't help feeling a little cold. Could it be that these people actually wanted to —
The front yard was still intact, but at this moment, the southwest corner of the backyard was already on fire.
The backyard of the Servants Administration was obviously more spacious than the front yard. But there were few people in it. Lin Mengya hurriedly glanced into the room and found that the backyard was mostly filled with warehouses and so on.
One after another, many palace maids had come to put out the fire with buckets and basins. But with the help of the wind, the fire was getting fiercer and fiercer.
No! Strictly speaking, the Servants Administration was not the place where the mistresses of the imperial harem lived, but at least there would be a special water hose to put out the fire.
This was the standard of every building in the imperial harem. But until now, she hadn't seen the water hose.
Looking at the palace maids, who were just trying to put out the fire with a cup of water, it seemed that they were acting.
"Master, shall we go to put out the fire?"
Lin Mengya shook her head at Baisu. What happened tonight was so strange.
But when she frowned and looked at the southwest corner again, she suddenly realized something.
"Let's go and find Mr. Yu Qiang."
Seeing that Lin Mengya was in a hurry, Baisu didn't ask any questions.
Taking advantage of the chaos, the two of them ran out of the Servants Administration, but they didn't expect that a pair of shrewd eyes inadvertently caught their backs …
If she remembered correctly, the courtyard where Mr. Yu Qiang lived was in that direction.
The wind tonight happened to be from the north. Therefore, the direction in which the fire spread was the courtyard where Yu Qiang lived.
How could it be so coincidental that the fire happened to be in the southwest corner? Moreover, those people who came to the rescue were simply fooling around.
Now, she could guess a few things.
Maybe the drunkard had an ulterior motive!
Lin Mengya quickened her pace and soon arrived at the courtyard where Yu Qiang lived.
She pushed open the dilapidated door, and the dry grass made a rustling sound in the night. It added a bit of gloominess and horror to the dilapidated courtyard.
But now, Lin Mengya didn't feel afraid at all. All she could think of was to find Mr. Yu Qiang as soon as possible.
"Yu …"
Lin Mengya was about to call him Senior Yu Qiang, but a small hand covered her mouth in an instant.
She looked at Baisu inquiringly, but Baisu just shook her head at her with a serious face. Fortunately, there were weeds and wormwood around them, which were half a person's height.
As long as the two of them squatted in the weeds, no one would be able to see them.
"What's wrong?" Lin Mengya asked with her eyes. Baisu looked around with her big watery eyes, and then whispered in Lin Mengya's ear.
"There are a lot of masters around!"
"How could this be?" Lin Mengya keenly smelled the smell of a conspiracy. "It seems that this fire is really going to burn Yu Qiang!"
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a flash of anger in her heart.
Yu Qiang was an old man in the palace. Although he couldn't call the wind and summon the rain, the people in the Servants Administration were more or less afraid of him.
But now, they actually joined hands with the martial arts masters to kill Yu Qiang.
There was only one reasonable explanation.
That was, Yu Qiang's secret help to Lin Mengya had been discovered by those people. Therefore, Senior Yu Qiang had caused this kind of fatal disaster.
Lin Mengya secretly bit her lip. She couldn't just stand by and watch these people get what they wanted.
But now the situation was critical, and she only had Baisu by her side. As the saying goes, two fists can't fight against four hands. Now, seeing Baisu's vigilant face, Lin Mengya was afraid that the situation was not simple.
After thinking for a while, Lin Mengya thought of a good idea. After whispering to Baisu, the two of them nodded and began to take action.
Taking advantage of the grass, Baisu quietly sneaked to a place near the backyard to find out what was going on.
These people only wanted to kill Yu Qiang, so there were only two guards in the front yard. Moreover, they were also hiding in the grass like Baisu and Baisu.
Lin Mengya thought of a way to fight poison with poison. The night wind was blowing, and there was dry grass around. It would be better for her to light a fire to force out the people who had harmed them.
After waiting patiently for Baisu to come back, Lin Mengya and Baisu hid behind a big stone. Baisu took out her portable fire starter, and the dark red sparks instantly began to spread at an extremely fast speed.
"Ah! Fire! Fire! Help me put out the fire! "
A few seconds later, two black figures rushed out of the bushes as if their butts were on fire. No, their butts were on fire.
The fire spread, and the overgrown front yard suddenly became a sea of fire.
The two of them took pictures of each other randomly. This spark of fire, came quickly, and also disappeared quickly. As long as the grass was burned to ashes, the fire would also be put out.
Lin Mengya and Baisu took this opportunity to crawl to the backyard where Senior Yu Qiang lived.
It was still the same plum forest, faintly exuding a cold fragrance in the night.
Lin Mengya and Baisu did not want to enjoy it, because there were sounds of fighting outside the house where Yu Qiang lived.
As she expected, the fire spread to Yu Qiang's yard. The fire soared into the sky, illuminating the faces of those people who were fighting not far away.
More than a dozen masked men in black surrounded Yu Qiang in the middle.
Although the two groups of people repeatedly fought, Yu Qiang was not at a disadvantage at all. What surprised Lin Mengya was that this inconspicuous eunuch's martial arts moves were surprisingly open and aboveboard. He was quite like a master when he moved freely.
Even though he was besieged and was at a disadvantage now. However, his sharp eyes seemed to be shining brightly, and he looked awe-inspiring!
"What a powerful martial arts move. Even if Uncle Lie was still here, I'm afraid that he would not be a match for him."
As the saying goes, the expert knows the ropes, while the layman just enjoys the show.
Compared with Lin Mengya's half-knowledge, Baisu's eyes were full of admiration and admiration.
"Is he really so powerful? But, why do I feel that the moves he used are different from all of you? "
Baisu turned around and explained to Lin Mengya patiently.
Speaking of martial arts masters, Lin Mengya had seen many of them. Qinghu and Long Tianyu were rare masters in the world. However, Yu Qiang was obviously different from any of them.
