Chapter 1138: Fucheng Gourmet Guests were Burnt

On this day, it was a quiet night, and there was a faint sense of tension in the air.

Gu Panxia and Lu Yuan were ready to go back to rest after having dinner with the prince and others.

They saw Xu Wen waiting in the yard with a man on his back.

Gu Panxia took a closer look and saw Xu Wen and Zhao Bin standing in their yard, seemingly waiting for them to come back.

Mr. Zhang had been rescued by Xu Wen and Zhao Bin half a month ago. She was seriously injured and is now recuperating at Lao Gu's house.

Since returning from rescuing Zhang, Xu Wen has been sent back by Gu Panxia to continue managing Gourmet Meike. He has not been seen here during this period. When he saw him today, Gu Panxia had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, as soon as she and Lu Yuan entered the yard, they saw Xu Wen running up in a hurry.

 “Young master, girl, something’s wrong! Fucheng.”

Before Xu Wen could finish speaking, Lu Yuan whispered: "If you have anything to do, let's talk about it in the room first!"

As soon as the four of them returned to the house, Gu Panxia couldn't help but ask: "Brother Xu, what did you just say about Fucheng?"

Xu Wen gritted his teeth, closed his eyes slightly and said, "Girl, the gourmet food customers in Fucheng have been burned!"

"What!" Gu Panxia's eyes widened suddenly, and then she said in a deep voice, "Tell me clearly, what exactly happened?"

“I don’t know very well. I heard from Xia Jiu and Ah Hui’s letter that for some reason last night, Gourmet Meike suddenly started to burn, and even the people in the backyard were on fire.”

 Xu Wen suddenly gritted his teeth at the end and fell silent.

The color on Gu Panxia's face instantly faded a bit. She held the edge of the table tightly with both hands and said in a trembling voice, "Is it everyone?"

Xu Wen shook his head hurriedly and said: "No, there are still a few who escaped because they went to the village overnight to pick ingredients for the next day."

“How many? There are dozens of gourmet customers in Fucheng, but only a few are left?”

Gu Panxia slammed her hand on the table, extremely angry.

“Go and find out who did it! If you find out, let me send them all to hell!”

 “Looking forward to summer!”

Lu Yuan frowned, stretched out his hand to hold her finger, which had broken its nail due to holding the edge of the table too hard, and pulled it to his eyes.

Gu Panxia withdrew his hand, closed his eyes, and asked Xu Wendao: "Who are the survivors?"

"There are shopkeeper Ayou and a few boys, but the rest of the people were drugged, and none of them could escape! The fire has been put out, the prefect has had people seal the place, and the bodies have been taken out!"

Even though he didn't see it with his own eyes, Gu Panxia's heart ached as if someone was clutching her.

 She thought of the old people and the pure children in the backyard, and her eyes instantly turned red.

How great it would be if she could send them all back to the north after the peace in the north!

Even if life in the north is a little more difficult, it won’t mean that their lives will be in vain!

“Pan Xia, don’t do this!”

Lu Yuan couldn't bear to see her in pain, so he reached out and half-hugged her into his arms to comfort her in a low voice.

"It's all because of me!" She took several deep breaths before choking and said: "If I hadn't brought them to Fucheng, they wouldn't have died so mysteriously! They escaped the war, but after all You can’t escape death!”

 At the end of the sentence, tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes.

Seeing the always stubborn man suddenly shed tears, the three people present felt a little uncomfortable.
