Chapter 497
Nan Xiyin ran back at an accelerated speed of eight hundred miles.

"Hey, why are you going?" Jiang Song shouted from behind.

Seeing Nan Xiyin's anxious expression, she could only run back.

Nan Xiyin strode up the city tower, and a large number of soldiers were pouring oil on the city wall.

The previous oil was almost roasted by the ignited firewood. Only by ensuring that the city wall was slippery enough would the poisonous Gu not be able to come up, and they would be safe for the time being.

Nan Xiyin walked around the city wall, but she didn't see Lingyuan, Shu Wan, or even Nanmo City.

Han Jing also left with the unconscious Kara. They met when they came back, but they didn't meet Nanmocheng and Lingyuan!

After asking several guards, they all said that they had not seen the emperor.

They were all busy pouring oil on the city wall without any blind spots, and they had no time to pay attention to the movements around them.

"What are you looking for?" Jiang Song ran out of breath and managed to keep up with Nan Xiyin.

Han Yun and Li Sheji also came, Nan Xiyin was a little surprised seeing them, "Why are you here?"

Shouldn't they be protecting the people from retreating?
"Don't worry, the people have all evacuated to the west city gate, the Four Overlords of Kyoto, how can we do without us."

"Okay, quickly help me find my father and Lingyuan."

"Lingyuan? That man who is prettier than a woman?"

Han Yun only met Ling Yuan once in the restaurant, and almost forgot his name.

"Okay, wait for our news."

Li Sheji and Han Yun went to find Lingyuan, but Nan Xiyin couldn't leave, she could only use explosives to drag the poisonous Gu that wanted to enter the city.

Fortunately, the father had the foresight to pour oil on the city wall to prevent the poisonous Gu from climbing up.

But there was not much explosive left, so Nan Xiyin could only take out the two spare homemade firecrackers.

However, this thing is too troublesome, the material is insufficient, and gunpowder must be charged to pull the trigger.

The advantage is that the gun fired is flint, and one shot can hit several.

It won't last long either.

When the last pack of explosives was thrown away and Nan Xiyin had nothing to do, Concubine Shu stepped onto the tower.

She clasped her hands together, and kept sprinkling powder down the tower, chanting incantations they didn't understand.

The poisonous Gu's attack suddenly turned around and quickly overwhelmed Chu Xing.

When it reappeared, only a pile of bones remained.

Only then did Nan Xiyin realize the role of Ling Yuanrang in preparing the fire.

The raging fire burned half the sky, and tens of thousands of poisonous Gu crawled desperately into the fire.

The air is filled with the strong smell of barbecue.

A smile appeared on the corner of Nan Xiyin's lips, she was finally saved.

She turned her head to look at Concubine Shu, Shu Wan was still muttering something.

Nan Xiyin didn't know why she suddenly changed her mind, and what Lingyuan threatened her with, and she didn't dare to disturb Concubine Shu.

As more and more poisonous Gu burned, the fire became more vigorous.

Except for the incantation that Shu Wan couldn't understand on the tower, the soldiers who had experienced life and death watched silently.

It wasn't just poisonous Gu that was burning in the fire.

There are also their relatives, comrades-in-arms, brothers and sisters, parents, wives and children, who have nothing to do but watch.

An hour later, apart from the desolate land, there were no living snakes or insects in sight.

Some soldiers were ordered to clear all the dead poisonous Gu into the fire.

Nan Xiyin exchanged the last [-] points for gas masks and protective clothing for them to wear in case of accidents.

After the corpses were cleaned up, the flames became more intense. The fire lasted until midnight and was still burning, illuminating the entire capital.

Nan Xiyin has not seen Lingyuan and Nanmo City for a long time...
