Chapter 1 The Storm Rises
Nowadays.
Xiao Qing is a glorious firefighter. He always moved forward bravely, regardless of his personal safety, and desperately appeared in the most violent place of the tongue of fire like Saburo. In the face of raging fire, his own life was not on his radar at all. He always tried his best to find survivors in the fire and consider the safety of his comrades.
In the face of the fire, he was calm, calm, and even excited. The narrow eyes shimmer with longing. It seemed that he had been looking forward to the moment when he melted into the flames. Therefore, the Li team always pays more attention to him. Fortunately, Xiao Qing is a person who cherishes life. Despite his hard work, he never gave up on himself.
This time the task was very difficult, there was a fire in the residential area, and it was still an old community. After receiving the police mission, Xiao Qing still rushed to the forefront without exception.
A tongue of fire rushed in, and Xiao Qing saw it, a gas canister surrounded by tongues of fire. Less than twenty meters from it.
"Team Li, gas canisters, everyone retreat! I'll go and clear it. β
Xiao Qing roared out this sentence and ran towards it, less than five meters.
However, it was still too late, and Xiao Qing had already seen the flames erupt from one point in slow motion.
"I finally can't go!" Xiao Qing's mind was blank at this moment, but there was no fear, only comfort, and even a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Shan'er, I'm here, after so many years, how are you?"
"Xiao Qingβ"
There was a heart-rending roar over the intercom.
Ancient times.
On the roof of a high-rise building not far from Wu Houfu, a well-dressed man in black stood there with a cold air, staring in the direction of Wu Houfu. He had been standing all night, and even the air around him had a gloomy aura. Just like the delicate black mask he wore on his face.
"Master, Wu Hou's wedding has been completed! Everything is going well. The guests were all gone! The Jade Lady was also very quiet. β
"Well, let our people be vigilant, I want to know every movement of Wu Houfu. Staring at the Jade Lady, report anything unusual immediately. β
"Yes,"
"Go ahead!"
The man who came to pay the report was quiet, as if he had come quietly, and disappeared! The man in black stood there, still looking in the direction of Wu Hou's Mansion.
"Wu Hou's big wedding? After so many years of concealment, now even the wind has the air of conspiracy. Sima Lan, you'd better not play tricks in this marriage, otherwise you'll ....... The breath of the man in black was a little colder.
"Wu Hou, I really envy you, stupid and stupid, but no one is as happy as you. β
The man in black thought silently in his heart, but he didn't say much, looked in the direction of Wu Houfu for a while, and disappeared into the night in a flash.
Palace
"Master, Wu Hou is getting married, the emperor should also be on his mind, he should rest early!
"Alas, it's not easy for the emperor, it's been two o'clock, and I'm still reviewing the folds. β
As he spoke, Mr. Gao glared at Xiao Xizi, who looked shrewd but was actually simple, and earnestly taught: "What do you know? Our Eastern Dynasty has just been established, and the previous dynasty was such a chaotic situation, and the forces of all parties were divided and warned, and now everything is waiting to be rebuilt, and it is really not easy for the emperor! You will all wait carefully in the future, and I will send ginseng soup." β
Mr. Gao has been following the emperor, and the emperor's efforts are all in his eyes, and he feels sorry for the emperor the most. He personally came to the emperor with ginseng soup.
"Your Majesty, you can rest! It's not too early, go to bed early! Wu Hou, who is newly married today, will bring Mrs. Yu to thank him tomorrow! Wu Hou's temperament can't go to the palace, so the old slave will be arranged in Yuhexuan, what do you think?"
"Hmm!"
Sima Lan finally raised his head, his resolute face showed a little tiredness, and the three thousand green silk was tied to his head with a jasper hairpin, without a crown. A pair of red phoenix eyes are especially eye-catching on the fair face, but it makes people ignore his majesty. Although he is not yet thirty years old, he has long been honed in the political field, and he has long integrated a calm aura into his body, which slowly radiates under the soft light. It's so hard to see his real age, he seems to be a middle-aged man, and he seems to be a slightly mature weak-crowned man.
"Your Majesty!"
Feng Yang, a guard dressed in green clothes, came to the dragon book case and knelt down to reply, his usual expressionless face.
"Wu Houfu has gone out of the water, and the wind is strong tonight, and the fire is out of control for a while. Just rescued, the fire started near the new house. Wu Hou and Madame Yu were seriously injured and unconscious. The old lady was in a hurry, and just carried down to rest, and had a tendency to have a stroke. β
In an instant, a cold breath burst out from Sima Lan's Danfeng eyes, and the Danfeng eyes, which had always looked gentle, also looked extremely sharp at this moment. The air in the room seemed to have condensed a lot in an instant. The oil lamp, which was still emitting a soft light just now, seemed to also fade away from the soft and faint light, and flickered a few times in a depressed way.
"Let Prime Minister Lu Cheng go to condole, take the second son Lu Jing to go, and temporarily assist the old lady in managing the affairs of the Hou Mansion. Send Imperial Physician Liu and the female medical officer to go with them, and make sure to do their best to treat Wu Hou and his wife. Lu Jing stayed in the Hou Mansion until Wu Hou's condition stabilized, and Xiao Xizi followed, and the imperial doctor came to report immediately after diagnosis. Send Yuzhu to check!
I have to say that Sima Lan is worthy of being the lord of a country, resolute, decisive and quick thinking.
Seeing this scene, Mr. Gao knew that the emperor would definitely have to stay up all night. Hurry out and tell everyone to cheer up and wait. Then he came back, and brought back a pot of dragon wells before the rain that had just been paid tribute.
"Your Majesty, this Wu Hou...."
Mr. Gao was halfway through his words and hurriedly shut up.
"It doesn't matter. β
Mr. Gao is a confidant, and sometimes the emperor also asks for his opinion, but Mr. Gao holds his own identity and generally does not say much.
"The old slave is saying, this Wu Hou is also unlucky, the prince of the previous dynasty competed for the throne, Wu Hou became a victim, he was poisoned and had some dementia since he was a child, and now thanks to the mercy and protection of the saint, not only did he not pursue his guilt but also named Wu Hou. You see that the old lady is now helpless in addition to being an idiot, and she is also named the second-class lady. Wu Hou just married the young lady of the former imperial historian today, but he didn't want to end up in such a situation again. β
Sima Lan stood in front of the window and did not speak. The tall figure exudes a hazy and unknown aura. With his hands behind his back, he couldn't help but think that walking in the water should not be accidental, and there must be some conspiracy in it. Who is it to benefit from this? Did the remnants of the previous dynasty do it? Shouldn't it? In the previous dynasty, there was only one royal family, Wu Hou, and if Madame Ruoyu gave birth to a son, wasn't it just an excuse for them to restore? Wouldn't there be nothing to kill people and kill people? Who could it be?
The reason why Wu Hou was left at the beginning was indeed to stabilize the situation in the court. Wu Hou himself is stupid and not afraid, and the old lady has no family background, and she was not favored in the previous dynasty. Leaving the two of them to quickly win the hearts of the ministers of the previous dynasty and stabilize the situation smoothly, why not?
In fact, doing this is also Sima Lan's confidence in himself. He believed that the rule of the previous dynasty was chaotic, the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes were serious, and the people were struggling to make a living, but he still hoped from the bottom of his heart to change the dynasty. And he has a heart of patriotism and love for the people, and he has always won the hearts of the people. The policy of recuperation and recuperation adopted by the new dynasty itself at the beginning of the new dynasty was also sure to be supported by the common people and local officials. Even if Mrs. Yu gives birth to a son in the future, she is absolutely confident that she can control the situation well, and she will never be used by people with intentions to restore the previous dynasty.
Is it just to create obstacles for me? Which force will it be? Western Chu? Western Chu must not want our dynasty to become stronger and stronger, and the emperor of Western Chu is weak, and the regent controls the government, this person is short-sighted, has no great ambitions, and is not capable of attacking on a large scale at this time.
South Vietnam is making great efforts, and although it has expanded its territory and reached the heart of one-third of the world, it does not dare to easily provoke disputes; in particular, several princes of South Vietnam are of the same age and have similar forces, and they check and balance each other, and no one will easily go out to fight and leave the rear to others. Who could it be? Sima Lan had been standing in front of the window, unaware that two hours had passed.
"Your Majesty, Xiao Xizi is back!"
"Biography!"
"See the Emperor. Wu Hou was injured in the head, it was the beam of the house that burned and fell and fell and smashed the injury, the injury was not serious, it was already controlled, but he was hit in the back of the head by a falling object, and he bled a lot, the doctor said that the impact on the future depends on the will of God, and if it is serious, I am afraid that it will be more stupid. β
"Mrs. Yu has serious burns, especially on her legs and back, which will definitely leave scars. There were burns on his cheeks as well, but not severe. Imperial Doctor Liu said that Mrs. Yu's skin is not easy to leave scars, and if it is maintained properly, it should be nothing with Qingxin Jade Lusan. In addition to the burns, Mrs. Yu also had a fracture on her left leg and abrasions on her right leg, and her whole body was wrapped like a zongzi. Imperial Doctor Liu said that burns are the most painful, and Mrs. Yu is already delicate, so this crime will definitely not be less. β
"Although the old lady is far away, but she is old, she is in a hurry, and she has a slight stroke, and Imperial Doctor Liu has already prescribed medicine and is boiling it, and when Wu Hou and Mrs. Yu wake up, the old lady's heart will be relieved, and it will be fine. Imperial Physician Liu also said that Wu Hou and Mrs. Yu have been critical in the past three days, and the fever is certain. If the fever can be controlled, it will be fine, and you can rest and recuperate. β
"Let's go down!"
Sima Lan secretly thought that in this way, I am afraid that people with intentions will say that I have sealed Wu Hou openly, and secretly I still want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so as to shake the hearts of my people. Thinking of this, Sima Lan has already thought of countermeasures, together with the current situation, redeploying the border defense, rectifying the dynasty, and guarding the capital, I am afraid that it will be a premise. Thinking of this, the phoenix's eyes narrowed even tighter.
On the same sleepless night, there was also a well-dressed man in black not far from Wuhou's mansion. This man is dressed in black, and if you look carefully through the light, you can see that it is not the night clothes worn by the Jianghu people, but the delicate black fabric. This cloth was extremely rare, and most of it was paid to the palace, and only a very few extremely wealthy people could afford to wear it.
"Master, you've been standing all night, come back! Although the fire is fierce, our people put out the fire in time and left no trace. The fire has been extinguished a long time ago! I have already arranged for it, and I have sent competent people to take good care of the old lady and Wu Hou. Sima Lan also sent Lu Ergongzi to help, Lu Ergongzi is upright and will be fine. Just in case, I've asked our people to hide first. Also, although Mrs. Yu was seriously burned, she also sent someone to borrow the hand of Imperial Physician Liu to send the best medicine. The master doesn't have to worry about it. β
A man in black was replying respectfully, in front of him was a man standing like an iron tower with a jade tree in the wind, this man was not only wearing expensive clothes, but also wearing a black mask was extremely exquisite, and even the aura exuded from his body was also a daunting cold.
"We are not well armed, but this is still happening. Some people's hands are stretched too long. It seems that the Hou Mansion will have to be purged again. You personally interrogate, all suspicious people, leave no one, and replace them with more of our people. I don't want anything like that to happen again. β
"You can also personally investigate the cause of the fire, and make sure that it is revealed! The mastermind behind the scenes, I will personally kill him. β
After finishing speaking, he ran in the direction of the Hou Mansion, a few ups and downs, and disappeared.
"Yes!" the man in black arched his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It is a great shame for me to have such a thing. Although the master did not blame, he could not forgive himself. A series of measures had already taken shape in my mind, and the thought quickly disappeared into the darkness.
