With that, the fire wouldn't be as big as in the kitchen but, it would be enough to scare all the horses and make them storming out of this stables, scattered all around the fortress. At that time there will be an uproar.
After all the preparation was done, Senja just about to leave when she heard a commotion among the soldier.
Is the kitchen already on fire? Why so fast?

How could that be? No one on guard? Or everyone had run to the commotion, so no one there?
Senja in high alert now. Her feeling tell her something was wrong with this situation, with caution she came closer to the jail and then jump to the roof truss, there were no place to hide in this jail except this part of the ceiling.
Along the way she couldn't spot any guards, this fact alone was enough to increasingly convince her that something wasn't right was going on here. Her heart thumping badly, in a flash of second she was considering to withdraw however as she remembered her effort before, she felt reluctant, hence she still moving forward to the end of the alley to the small room where they held Gu Xie.
When the distance between her and the room getting closer faintly Senja could sense the abnormality feeling from inside the room, the door was shut, but behind the door it was very clear there was someone was talking with Gu Xie with low voice.
Senja landed softly on the ground and moved swiftly to the door. She peered into the room through the window at the door. Inside the room there was man with black robes, with his back facing Senja, was crouching in front of Gu Xie, his body leaned to him while talking with low voice.
