Chapter 823: The fire shook the sky

"Someone, someone, kill him, kill him...... Thieves, damned thieves......"

After a violent tremor, An Qingxu woke up from an unprecedented nightmare, and the middle coat and brocade quilt on his body were already soaked with cold sweat. Eight?? δΈ€?Chinese.com ?.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, there are no thieves, slaves and maids have been staying here, there are no thieves ......"

The eunuch who was guarding the couch brought another bowl of white fungus bird's nest porridge as he spoke, and An Qingxu unconsciously came to the result, and he vomited after only taking a sip. This frightened the eunuch, and he fell to his knees, kowtowing repeatedly, and his words begging for mercy were indistinct.

An Qingxu hasn't eaten much in the past few days, and his stomach is empty, and when he spit out a mouthful of bird's nest porridge, he only retched. After vomiting for a while, he felt that his mind was much clearer, and he dreamed of the terrible scene again, a headless demon carrying a bloody horse chopping knife to ask for his life.

Although he has no head, his fat belly and slightly curved calves because of his perennial horseback riding are all familiar features to him. Originally, An Qingxu was a person who was not afraid of heaven and earth, but since the word "killing his father" hung above his head like a sharp sword, he completely collapsed.

Outside the hall, Yulin rushed in when he heard the news, and the friction sound of the metal armor made An Qingxu's mind calm down a lot.

"Drag it out, cut it!"

The overly frightened eunuch had long been frightened by the six gods, and when he saw that he was about to lose his life, he could only distinguish incoherently and in vain.

"The slave and the maid are guilty, the slave and the maid deserve to die, the slave and the maid dare not alarm Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life......"

Where would Yu Lin give him a chance, twisting it upside down and dragging it out like a chicken. There was only a sneer on the face of An Qingxu, the son of Dayan Tianzi, he knew that this matter had nothing to do with the eunuch, but who made this eunuch unlucky? Moreover, eunuchs are not a good thing in the first place, they are all not as good as pigs and dogs, and killing one more will be one less scourge in this world.

Out of hatred for the eunuch Li Zhu'er, An Qingxu has been extremely mean to thousands of eunuchs in the palace since he succeeded to the throne as the son of heaven of Dayan, and he killed them at every turn.

In this way, the arrogance of the eunuchs, which was also objectively attacked, and the eunuch party with Li Zhu'er as the brain, also completely disintegrated in dozens of days.

An Qingxu sighed heavily, stood up, slowly walked to the window, and pushed the window open. But instead of fresh air, a smoky smell wafted in, and it tended to get stronger.

An Qingxu's first reaction was that there was a fire somewhere, but then the flesh on his face suddenly became distorted, a pair of small eyes were full of fear and disbelief, and a fireball grew bigger and bigger in the pitch-black pupils.

Call!

The fireball smashed right on the cornices of the cloister, and the fire spread in the blink of an eye with the wind.

"Karma from the sky, this, is this the sin of God from me?"

An Qingxu was frightened stupidly, and the sudden situation in front of him was out of the scope of his cognition, and it was easy to associate it with such a mysterious thing as ghost and god retribution.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong, the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty's soldiers and horses have just besieged the city...... The Xuanhui Gate and the Right Gate were all burned down......"

The little yellow door appeared in An Qingxu's sight with a roll, and he fell four or five times in a row to get around the corridor, which shows the degree of panic.

An Qingxu did not reprimand Xiao Huangmen's gaffe, because he had already taken care of it, and his intuition told him that the fireball falling from the sky must be related to the Tang Dynasty's siege. Almost at the same time, the feathers in the palace began to put out the fire with water dragons, but fortunately, the fire caused by the fireball was not too big, and it was extinguished in three or two clicks.

"The Tang Dynasty is afraid of attacking the city, Luoyang City is high and deep, just block it back!"

Although An Qingxu ignored the government and politics, after all, he was a person who had been fighting horses for half his life, and he knew the battle by heart, and felt that the city wall of Luoyang was tall and strong, and he would not want to gain an inch of land without paying a considerable price.

However, the battle situation in the little yellow gate was very different from what he expected.

"Tang, the Tang soldiers have already attacked the city, and, and the defenders are fighting, fighting, and suffering heavy losses......"

Obviously, this little yellow door has been frightened, An Qingxu is very impatient, and asks directly:

"What about An Shouzhong, let him come to see me!"

Only by letting An Shouzhong come over can this Great Yan Tianzi feel at ease. Unexpectedly, Xiao Huangmen's answer made him almost fall to the ground.

"An, An Xianggong was injured by an arrow, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass......"

Suddenly, An Qingxu felt bottomless for the first time, and his mind turned into a paste in an instant, but fortunately, his mind was still a little clear.

"What about Da Xixun, summon Da Xixun into the palace!"

If Da Xixun does not lead the troops, he will naturally not go to the city wall to command the battle, and if it is really a last resort, he can only let this person take charge of the overall situation.

At this moment, An Qingxu misses Ashina Chengqing who went north. Although Ashina Chengqing and his people are not obedient to him, he will not worry about any state affairs entrusted to this person, and with Ashina Chengqing's loyalty and ability, he will definitely handle it properly.

Fortunately, Da Xixun did not bring bad news.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, although An Xianggong was wounded by two arrows, they were not critical parts, and there was no fear of his life, and he was commanding the battle on the Xuanhui Gate at this moment!"

Speaking of the fierce battle outside the imperial city, Da Xixun still raised his heart to his throat, and at the same time secretly regretted that it was just a little bit, if the combat effectiveness of the Shenwu Army was a little stronger, it would completely control Xuanhui Gate, but it was a pity that it fell short.

Although it fell short, in the long run, today's first battle has achieved the effect of taking the lead. The whole Yan army was shaken by this, and even the morale of the army was seriously shaken.

Therefore, today's battle, ** won without victory, and the Yan army was defeated without defeat!

But these words will not be said by Xi Xun, in front of An Qingxu, he only reports good news and not bad news. In addition to a concise and concise description of the battle process, he also praised An Shouzhong's courage and wisdom.

"If it weren't for An Xianggong's heroic decision today, the situation would really be worrying, the Tang soldiers attacked Xuanhui Gate twice, fortunately, there was no danger......

At this time, An Qingxu felt a little calm, but he was always at ease.

"The Tang soldiers have attacked the city, and what have been burned to the city gates?"

You must know that the outer outline of the imperial city is only a dozen steps away from the city wall of the palace city, and once the outer outline is seriously damaged, the palace city will face the Tang Dynasty soldiers, which is why he is not worried.

"When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty built Luoyang City, why didn't he build the palace city in the city, he had to build it in the northwest corner, now it's good, it's good now, it has become the weakness of the Tang Dynasty's attack!"

Da Xixun said in his heart, after Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Luoyang was the new capital, and the original intention of building the palace city here was still good, and the root cause was not to compete with the people for land. Luoyang City had already been formed before the Sui Dynasty, and if the palace city was built in the city, it would undoubtedly destroy a large number of houses and move a large number of people. This kind of labor and loss of money for the first time to the great treasure, the ambitious Yang Guang naturally disdained it, to choose the palace city in the northwest suburbs, and later based on this, the scale of Luoyang City was more than doubled. Luoyang City has gone through a hundred years of exhibition in the Tang Dynasty, and it can have today's scale and shape, and it is said that the root is from the Sui Dynasty.

It's a pity that Yang Guang is not a competent emperor after all, and he doesn't know that Zhang Chi has a degree, which caused the great country to be ruined in his hands. Da Xixun was distracted, and An Qingxu called him several times before reacting.

"Da Xiqing only said, what kind of ability does Tang Bing have to send fire from the sky?"

Da Xixun coughed dryly to relieve the embarrassment of losing consciousness just now.

"It's not a strange thing, it's just that Tang Bing used the improved stone cannon to throw fire oil and other incendiary materials!"

An Qingxu's reaction was finally like a normal person, and his thinking became quicker.

"Then can we also make this kind of stone cannon that shoots fireballs?

Da Xixun was stunned at first, and then called His Majesty wise. At this time, his mood was complicated, he didn't want An Qingxu's treacherous plot to succeed, but he was afraid of the Shenwu army of the Tang Dynasty, and he was afraid that they would unload the mill and kill the donkey, and settle accounts after the autumn.

"Okay, this matter will be entrusted to Da Xiqing, whatever you need, I will fully support it!"

There was no way, Da Xixun had no choice but to bite the bullet.

After saying another two words, I suddenly felt a muffled sound above my head, and then the tiles shattered and crackled and fell to the ceiling. The Feather Forest Janissaries broke through the door and shouted at the same time:

"Your Majesty, go quickly, the fireball has hit the dormitory!"

This shout frightened An Qingxu, he never thought that his dormitory was actually within the range of Tang Bing's stone artillery.

More than a dozen Yulin followed, escorting An Qingxu and Da Xixun to the eastern part of the imperial city, in order to avoid the range of the Tang Dynasty stone artillery.

With the evacuation of the Son of Heaven, the hearts of the people who were originally quite stable suddenly dispersed and chaotic. This is also to blame them, the fireball is falling like hailstone, and everyone must be afraid. If someone takes advantage of the fact that the fire is not big, they can easily extinguish the fire with a fire dragon, but whether it is a eunuch or a Yulin guard, from top to bottom, they only care about dodging the fireball falling from the sky, where is anyone who cares about what firefighting!

In just half an hour, the fire spread from the westernmost part of the palace, and thick black smoke rose from Jiayu Gate to Changle Gate. Looking from afar, the sunset hangs on the eaves of the city gate tower, as if the entire palace tower is smeared with a layer of frightening blood red.

An Qingxu, who was in shock, beat his chest suddenly, scolding Tang Bing for being shameless on the one hand, and reprimanding his subordinates for their incompetence on the other, so that the Son of Heaven was frightened and humiliated......

Seeing this, Da Xixun felt that there was no need to be by An Qingxu's side, and he touched his head without a long eye, so he used the excuse of making stone cannons to smear the soles of his feet with oil.

Seeing the billowing black smoke getting bigger and bigger, An Qingxu suddenly woke up like a dream, and angrily scolded the Yulin guards beside him.

"Don't you want to put out the fire, do you have to wait until my palace burns down before you put out the fire......
