The two burned granaries happened to be the ones with the most grain and the best quality.

Aware of the importance of grain and grass, Fu Si ordered additional inspection personnel. On the basis of the original ten, the number of guards in each granary was increased to 30.

The two granaries that were burnt were separated by 60 miles, and they were far away from the houses, so they were extremely secretive, and no one else could easily approach them.As a result, under the eyes of [-] people, they were burned almost simultaneously.This fact is suspicious.

In order to stabilize the morale of the army, Fu Si was not in a hurry to punish the soldiers who committed the crime of negligence, but only secretly detained them.He also declared to the outside world that he had expected the enemy's secret operations to attack the granary, so he had already transferred the grain and grass, and what was burned was only an empty granary.On the contrary, our army used this to capture the spy and forced to ask Wu Guo's next move.

Because it was rumored that Fu Si was blessed by gods, his words were very credible.The food and drink in the army is also as usual, and there is no sign of shortage, so the soldiers have not been greatly affected for the time being.

The incident happened suddenly, and Su Lun and Zhou Mo wanted to guard the army to prevent any changes. Fu Si took Fu Xi to investigate the burned granary.

The first is the granary on the west side of Chenzhou, which is the one with the largest stock.

The four walls of the granary surrounded by blue bricks have been blackened by the fire, and they have become ruins.The aroma of burned grains floated in the air, like smoke rising from thousands of households at the same time, but the aroma was too strong, which made people feel heavy.

Originally, the food and grass were enough for three months, but now I am afraid it will be cut in half.

Fu Si walked around the granary slowly, with heavy steps, and her heart ached.

too weird.

According to what the guards said, they obeyed the orders of their superiors. There were ten people in a group, one group was stationed, one group was patrolling, and the other group was resting.How can people take advantage of the opportunity to set fire to food and grass, and it is even too late to rescue them?

The guard god who was detained said mysteriously: "This is weird. We really don't know what happened. The fire suddenly caught fire and burned up in the blink of an eye. There was no time to fetch water to put out the fire...Last night there was loud thunder, maybe The thunder fell and burned the food and grass! God's will! This battle should never have been fought, God..."

More than one person said this, almost unanimously speaking about the fire that night.

But Fu Si thought it was pure nonsense.

How can there be such a precise thunder that happened to burn two granaries far apart?Furthermore, even if it is thunder and fire, it will take time to burn, 60 people with [-] hands, each with a basin of water, how can you save some of them, how can there be no particles left?

Although this battle was indeed absurd, Fu Si did not believe that the fire in the granary was the so-called providence.Even if there is a spirit in the sky, it will not do the stupid thing of burning food.It must be man-made. Since it is man-made, there will be flaws, and it will not be completed in an instant so that there is no time to react.so--

The guards are lying.

Sixty guards are lying.

Fu Si walked around the granary, with the ashes of grain and grass under his feet. There was thunder but no rain last night, so the ashes were still fluffy and dry.

Fu Si was wearing the military uniform of Chu State—he has always been a leader since he came to Chenzhou, and he did not exercise special privileges. The armor, shoes and hats are the same from the commander to the pawns in the army, and they are only distinguished by color: soldiers are red, generals are black—— —While walking, he paid attention to the black ash that spread all over the ground.

It is easy to leave footprints on such roads.But Fu Si lowered his head and walked around, only seeing some messy sole patterns that belonged to the Chu army, nothing else.

No matter how skilled the arsonist is, can he walk through without a trace?

Combined with the strange phenomenon that there are 60 people guarding the two granaries, no one found the arsonist, and no one put out the fire in time, Fu Si was deeply suspicious——

I am afraid that the fire did not come from the state of Wu, but a disaster within the state of Chu.

Fu Si had a general conclusion in his mind, and turned to look at Fu Xi, the delicate and coquettish third prince covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve in disgust, still coughing one after another, "Boss, you are really a crow's mouth, what do you say... It’s all burned, so what are you going to see, there is nothing left. If you have this spare time, why don’t you send someone to burn Wu’s food and grass——this group of despicable villains, who are playing tricks—boss, look at me Why? I'm not going!"

Up to now, this silly boy has not realized the seriousness of the problem. Fu Si shook his head helplessly and asked, "How do you think this fire started?"

The tester is also addicted to the test, he really has the style of the boss!Fu Xibai glanced at him, "It's needless to say! Of course, those gangsters from the state of Wu are afraid of the might of our army, so they resorted to tricks!"

Still take it for granted without thinking.Fu Sinai calmed down and continued to guide, "How capable is Wu Guoxizuo, who can cross our army's defense line, sneak into the granary, set fire to dozens of people, and finally retreat completely, so that people can't even see how tall, short, fat, or thin?"

Fu Xi curled her lips and said stubbornly: "If you don't have any skills, you can still do it carefully?" But when he said the words, he was a little confused. Could it be that the enemy country is full of experts and our country is full of idiots?This is obviously impossible.

Seeing Fu Xi's serious expression and falling into deep thought, Fu Sidao: "Don't take things for granted. There must be a purpose behind everything. The loss of our army's food and grass is of course beneficial to the country of Wu. But internal and external troubles always occur together. We only need to guard against the outside world. There will be 'backyard fire'."

Fu Xi could be considered to have figured out something at this moment, she frowned and looked at Fu Si, "You mean, there are traitors?"
