"What did you say?!" Bai Fengyu exclaimed when he heard what his subordinate said. "Smoke?!" he muttered as he rose from his seat. "What do you mean?!" he asked.

"Yes, sir." The subordinate answered. "They saw smoke afar which is from Lijing Town." He told Bai Fengyu.

"Is it fire?" Bai Fengyu guessed.

"No, sir… it is too small to be fire." The subordinate answered. "We suspect that it was an explosion, as the smoke was mixed with dust, which they saw from the distance." He explained.

"An explosion…!" Bai Fengyu's eyes widened in surprise. "Do you know which direction it was?!" he asked.

"Yes, it was… from the Hu residence." The subordinate answered in a low voice.
