The next morning, someone came to report that the group of soldiers had already left. Lu Fei thought to himself that Guo Si still had some strategy. Since he was able to come up with such a plan, he should be able to predict that Lu Fei would attack him. He immediately said, "It's best not to act rashly."
Zhang Fei said anxiously, "Those soldiers have all left. What do we have to be afraid of?"
Lu Fei said, "This Guo Si is quite resourceful. He must have known that we were guarding nearby and didn't leave, so he came up with a plan. Let's not rush in rashly. If they set up an ambush with archers, we may be fine, but the rest of our brothers may not be able to survive."
Lu Fei looked at Dian Wei and said, "Er 'Lai, the distance between the woods and the village is about three hundred feet. How heavy can you throw something over there?"
Dian Wei said, "I can try." Then he picked up a head-sized rock and threw it with all his strength. Everyone watched as the rock flew far away and disappeared into the sky. It was more than three hundred feet away. Lu Fei nodded and said, "Just as heavy as this rock."
Zhang Fei said, "Okay, I'll do it right away. You guys come with me."
Not long after, Zhang Fei came back with his men. Each of them had a bow and countless arrows in their hands, and more than ten bulging bags on their backs. Zhang Fei put all the bags on the ground and said, "These oil cloths are all packed with kerosene. The holes are tight, so the oil won't leak out."
Lu Fei picked one up and looked at it, saying, "It's enough. Let's set fire to the village and see if this guy can stay calm. Let's go."
Everyone immediately carried the bags and rushed to the woods outside the village. Lu Fei found two sentries in the woods in advance, so he caught them and killed them.
Lu Fei squatted on the ground and said, "Everyone, get the fire arrows ready. We'll launch them in a moment. Try to hit the place where Er 'Lai threw the kerosene. Understood?"
"Understood?" Everybody replied at the same time. Dozens of people had come with Lu Fei. Some of them were responsible for making rockets, and some were responsible for shooting. Lu Fei and Dian Wei stood in front of a hundred kerosene bombs. Zhang Fei wanted to have a try too. Lu Fei said, "Brother, you're a good archer. Just hold on and shoot. Shoot wherever we throw."
Zhang Fei said, "Don't worry, big brother."
Lu Fei nodded. "Then let's begin. Everyone, get ready."
Everybody half-knelt by the woods with bows and arrows in their hands. Lu Fei and Dian Wei each held a kerosene bomb. Lu Fei said, "Begin." After saying that, he threw the kerosene bomb in his hand. The kerosene bomb flew high into the air and landed accurately on the roof of one of the buildings in the manor. Then, with a bang, the tarpaulin was torn apart and kerosene splattered everywhere.
Zhang Fei immediately took the lead to shoot. The fire arrows flew high in the air and landed on the roof, which was immediately set on fire. Lu Fei and Dian Wei quickly sprinkled kerosene in every corner of the village, and Zhang Fei and the other people ignited the kerosene. Very soon, the entire village turned into an ocean of fire. It was too late to put out the fire even if they wanted to. They could only save one place at a time, but dozens of places in the village were on fire at the same time. How could they save everyone?
Lu Fei immediately said, "Let's go. Brother, there are no backdoors. Kill anyone you see." He and Dian Wei guarded the gate of the village with a bunch of people. A dozen people indeed ran out of the village, but they were all caught unprepared and killed on the spot by Lu Fei's subordinates. Someone inside shouted, "What do we do? Someone is blocking our way. "
"Charge!" Then, another batch of people charged out. Dian Wei suddenly charged into the crowd and blocked the door, forcing all the people who intended to rush out to retreat. Lu Fei and the other people, on the other hand, took care of Dian Wei's worries and killed all the people who had run out of the village. There were many experts who intended to run out of the village, but Dian Wei blocked the gate like a mountain. Those who tried to run out were all knocked back by Dian Wei's halberd. Seeing that the fire in the village was getting more and more intense, Lu Fei suddenly saw a man fly out of the wall and run away quickly. Lu Fei immediately chased after him, thinking that he was still trying to escape at this moment.
Though the man was not weak, he was not nearly as good as Lu Fei, and his lightness skills were nothing compared to Lu Fei's. Lu Fei had already rushed to the man's back before he reached the woods. He took out a gold ingot from his pocket and threw it at the man's back. The man immediately twisted his body and caught the gold ingot. However, because of the delay, Lu Fei had already approached him and pressed his palm on the man's back.
The man spat out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground. Lu Fei went forward and grabbed him. His Genuine Qi gushed out and sealed all the acupoints on the man's body. He turned around and saw that the man was middle-aged and had a beard. Lu Fei smiled and said, "Guo Si, you hurt my brother Ma Teng. Who ordered you to do so?"
Guo Si said, "No one. I was asked by the Shang Family to get rid of Ma Teng."
Lu Fei asked, "Which Shang Family are you talking about?"
Guo Si said, "If I tell you, you'll let me go."
Lu Fei said, "Okay, if you tell me, I won't kill you."
Guo Si's mind was in a mess and he did not understand the meaning of Lu Fei's words. He sighed in relief and said, "Most of these Shang Family are blacksmiths, mainly Zhou Family of Wuwei County, Huang Family of Hanyang County, Li Family of Capital Magistrate, Zhao Family of Wudu County, and so on."
Lu Fei asked again, "Where did you hide all the valuables you've plundered all these years?"
Guo Si trembled all over. Lu Fei said, "You want your life or your money. Choose for yourself."
In the end, Guo Si was defeated and told him where he had hidden his money.
Lu Fei smiled and said, "Okay, I'll let you go." Then, he used his Genuine Qi to cripple Guo Si's martial arts. Then, he used his Genuine Qi to attack Guo Si's brain. Guo Si's face suddenly became dull. Lu Fei threw him to the ground. Guo Si was now no different from a vegetable. Even if he could move, he was just a fool and not a threat. Since Lu Fei said he would not kill him, he would not kill him.
He immediately returned to Guo Si's manor and saw that Dian Wei and Zhang Fei had already cleaned up Guo Si's remains. At this time, the fire in the manor was getting bigger and bigger. It was impossible for anyone to come out.
Lu Fei had everyone back away and said to Zhang Fei, "Third Brother, go and find a few carriages. We'll have to wait here for two more days."
