The fire in the East Palace rose suddenly.

From Xi Yutang's discovery of the clue to the arrival of the three people on the tower, the entire front hall of the East Palace has been completely burned. The flames were so great that half of the sky overhead was reflected red. Even a heavy rain in the early morning on a hot summer day didn't make the wooden buildings less combustible, but instead choked on billowing smoke, like some kind of death signal, choking people to tears before they could get close.

Many people gathered in front of the main hall in an instant, and the people on duty in the palace quickly reacted and began to put out the fire, and everyone moved and joined the ranks of fighting the fire. There was a steady stream of people in the main hall who escaped in wolves, and the well-dressed guests in the past were all disgraced at this moment, even if they were martial arts masters, in the face of such a fire, they had become the most ordinary people among all beings.

If there is no fire, according to the hour, Si Li should have just returned from the Taiji Hall with the crown princess, and the guests inside are either rich or noble, and at least half of the important ministers of the court are in the East Palace, plus those martial arts people...... Don't dare to think deeply.

Xi Yutang looked at everyone around intently, and after not finding the figure of the person she was looking for, she immediately stared at the lucky ones who escaped one by one, but there were no familiar faces, and her heart tightened at the moment, and she grabbed Yue Qingfeng's hand beside her.

"Calm down!" Yue Qingfeng was also panicked, but at this moment, he had to support the people around him, so he could only try to make himself look calm.

"I know, I know." Xi Yutang kept talking, but his feet were still uncontrollable and wanted to go to the main hall.

However, before he could take two steps, he heard a loud bang, and something heavy in the hall fell to the ground, which suddenly aroused a burst of screams and exclamations.

"Collapsed! What's the collapse!! Someone around shouted in horror, "I'm going to die!" It's going to die!! ”

"Shut up!!" Xi Yulan roared angrily, the hidden weapon in her hand flew out, and she directly used her actions to make the man shut his mouth.

Xi Yutang felt that there was something wrong with his breathing, the whole person was stretched into an extremely tight string, which would break at any time, his eyes looked motionless at the depths of the smoke, his eyes were choked red by the smoke, but he still did not let go of any of the guests who escaped, but he waited and waited, but he still did not wait, his reason disappeared, and he was almost uncontrollably about to rush in.

Yue Qingfeng clasped her arm tightly, not daring to relax for a moment, for fear that she would not be able to control it, so she rushed in regardless of it.

"What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? What's going on inside?! Xi Yulan grabbed a person who escaped, and happened to find out that the other party was an acquaintance, "Lie Ying? ”

Seeing Xi Yulan, Lie Ying hadn't recovered from the fire, and no matter who the person in front of him was, he grabbed it and said, "Quick, there is a horizontal pillar, a horizontal pillar is falling obliquely, think about ......it quickly."

Before he finished speaking, Xi Yutang clasped his shoulders fiercely, "Lieying, it's me, what about the prince?" What about Shen Qi?! And Qiantong, what about your father?! ”

Lie Ying looked at her in a daze, relieved herself and hugged the person in front of her, "Second uncle! Father, Dr. Shen, and the crown prince are still in the palace! There is a pillar, there is a pillar! ”

Xi Yutang's eyes widened suddenly.

Yue Qingfeng pulled Lie Ying and threw it at the person who answered in the distance, and quickly buckled the people around him, "What do you want to do?!" ”

"Let it go!! Xiaomei, they haven't come out yet! Xi Yutang's whole person trembled violently with fear.

Suddenly hugged her into his arms, and the more Qingfeng said hardly, "You just went in like this?!" Do you want to fall into it yourself?! Xi Yutang, calm me down! Look at the form! Look at those fires! ”

Xi Yutang was wheezing violently in his arms, but he felt more and more that he had difficulty breathing, coughed violently a few times, and subconsciously turned his brain along his train of thought.

And Xi Yulan on the side frowned, "There is something strange about this fire, Tang Tang, calm down." ”

As soon as the words fell, many people began to realize that no matter how much water was poured on it, it could not extinguish even one place, and I was afraid that in addition to the fire, the ground was also covered with oil.

“…… Sandy soil, to sandy soil! Xi Yutang looked at Yue Qingfeng, "Cover it with sand!" ”

Yue Qingfeng immediately ordered those who put out the fire to do as instructed.

A little eunuch ran in front of a few people at this time, and knelt down respectfully, "Young Lord Yue, Your Majesty is already on the way here, and the forbidden army has been mobilized, and the message will let you stabilize the scene for the time being." ”

Yue Qingfeng was stunned, and then nodded, "Please return to Your Majesty, Qingfeng should do his best." ”

Just a sentence or two of speech, and when I turned around, there was no shadow of Xi Yutang around me. The younger lord was shocked, quickly glanced around, and accurately spotted her figure not far away.

When he got closer, he saw that Xi Yutang was ordering someone to find a quilt. Soon, the quilt was found, and without saying a word, she soaked the quilt with water, then lifted a bucket of water and poured it on her head, wrapped her whole body in the quilt, covered her mouth and nose and was about to flush in.

"Tang Tang!" Yue Qingfeng was almost frightened.

Xi Yutang paused, turned around, and showed a light smile to him, "Don't worry, I'll go in and see the situation, I will never let myself have trouble, I swear." ”

Yue Qingfeng shook his head firmly.

"Solemn." Xi Yutang clasped his hand back, "Shen Qi is inside, if it were you today, you wouldn't wait outside." I'm calm, I'm not going to be reckless, anyway, please, let me go in and have a look. ”

"I'll be with you."

"You stay." Xi Yutang interrupted him categorically, "I need you to stay outside and wait for me." ”

Yue Qingfeng stared at her deadly, his chest rising and falling rapidly, but he couldn't say a word.

"I'll accompany him!" Xi Yulan also learned from her sister to wet herself at this time, and also looked at her junior brother wrapped in a soaked quilt, "Suxi, I will bring her out intact." ”

“……”

Closing his eyes fiercely, Yue Qingfeng clenched his palms tightly, "I'll only give you half a pillar of incense time." ”

Xi Yutang smiled reluctantly, suddenly stepped forward and kissed him fiercely, and then the whole person rushed into the smoke.

Not long after, in the distance, a large group of people rushed over, and it was Emperor Yanping who took the lead.

The fire in the East Palace was too strong, and before it could get close, the emperor was stopped. Emperor Yanping kicked away the leader of the forbidden army who was blocking him with a tough attitude, and came to the East Palace without resistance. Yue Qingfeng was methodically directing the actions of the people, and when the emperor arrived, he happened to see him kill the chickens and monkeys and cut a panicked man mercilessly under the sword.

"Whoever shakes people's hearts in chaos is like this!" His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears through internal force.

……

On the other hand, after the two brothers and sisters of the Xi family rushed into the main hall, they could barely see the situation in the hall through the soaked silk handkerchief, and they couldn't help but sink in their hearts.

The main hall of the huge East Palace was full of wailing, and there were constantly fire balls falling from the top of their heads, and many people were pressed under the pillar of fire.

In the center of the hall, several huge beams and pillars divide the space into two, and the fire is fierce and irresistible, shocking.

"Shen Qi!!" Xi Yutang shouted, his voice radiating through the internal force, "Si Li! Qiantong! ”

"Zou Qing, Shaoguang! Welcome to autumn!! Xi Yulan also shouted a few times.

The two of them were careful, and walked in with difficulty, controlling their breathing so as not to let themselves inhale too much smoke and dust, and they were extremely glad that they were all considered killers of the Listening Rain Pavilion in some way. As long as you are born in Tingyu Pavilion, you have learned the art of turtle breath, and at this moment, this exercise is simply a lifesaver.

"Sect Master?!"

"Xi Yutang?!"

Two voices came from one direction at the same time, which made the brother and sister refresh their spirits at the same time, and they immediately looked up.

"Si Li?!" Xi Yutang found a familiar figure with sharp eyes, and touched it without saying a word.

Seeing a few people who were still alive, Xi Yutang breathed a sigh of relief. In addition to Si Li, there was also a girl who was already in a coma, Shen Qi, Jiang Qiantong, Lie Aotian, everyone in the Snow Mountain, and Wei Han.

"Master!" As soon as Si Li opened his mouth, he coughed heavily.

Xi Yutang quickly covered his mouth with a soaked handkerchief, and at the same time took away the heavy quilt on his body, carefully wrapped Shen Qi on the side, took off his coat and draped it on Jiang Qiantong's body, and at the same time tore the corners of his clothes and covered the noses of the two of them.

Xi Yulan concocted the same method.

Only Shen Qi and the unconscious crown princess were present, the latter was protected by Si Li's secret guards, and it seemed that the situation was not very good, and Shen Qi was even worse, although he had already taken medicine, he still began to have symptoms of hypoxia because of the fire.

Shaoguang and Yingqiu are already at the end of their strong crossbows, and Zou Qing is no better, Xi Yutang immediately sealed the acupoint with a silver needle to buy them time, and then realized that they were all poisoned by Sangong, and Shen Qi's medicine would not have an immediate effect even if they were eaten, so they were trapped here, and they used all their strength to get here.

One by one, they delivered internal force to several people to help chemical medicine, and Xi Yutang and Xi Yulan were silently busy.

"Xi Yutang......" Jiang Qiantong's face was full of sadness, and the surprise that he hadn't seen for three years was also buried deep in his heart at this moment, "Elder Se ...... to protect me"

hugged her distressedly, Xi Yutang helped her cover her mouth and nose, put on her clothes, touched her head, slowed down her voice and said, "Don't be afraid, I will take you out." ”

"What are you doing here!" When it was Wei Han's turn, he grabbed her wrist hard, and the surprise in the depths of his eyes was gone, replaced by a heavy anger, "Do you know that this place is dangerous!" ”

He's also a killer, the best of them all, and if he weren't with him and the two guards, they'd be in even worse shape.

Xi Yutang was stunned for a moment, his gaze swept over his eyes that had been smoky red, the scars left on his eyes by Yue Qingfeng back then were still there, and in the flames, it looked more and more shocking.

Not only her, but when Wei Han's words came out, everyone, including Xi Yulan, looked over.

Quickly came back to his senses, Xi Yutang was reluctant to answer, hugged Shen Qi tightly, and said coldly, "Go." ”

"Wait a minute." Xi Yulan's voice suddenly sank, "Tang Tang, borrow your nine shades." ”

Xi Yutang was puzzled, but he still handed Shen Qi to Yingqiu and Shaoguang on the side, signaled them to go forward first, and then came to his brother's side, and just wanted to ask, his eyes were fixed on Lie Aotian - I saw that half of Lao Lie's body was pressed under a huge burning pillar, the pillar had burned most of it, and the outer layer was also wrapped in metal, just looking at it with the naked eye, it was enough to imagine its tragedy.

Seeing her, Lie Aotian cracked his mouth and laughed.

"Good brother...... his voice was extremely weak, "Sue Sù Lieying, ...... in the future"

"Shut up!" Xi Yutang didn't want to listen to his last words.

Lie Aotian was stunned and didn't speak.

Xi Yutang strode forward, pulled out the nine shades around his waist, endured the burning heat around him and the discomfort in his lungs, cut off the iron-clad pillar in three or two strokes, and dragged the person out from underneath. Her gaze fell on his legs, which had been burned to the point of almost deformation by Yan Zòng, and she was rarely silent for two seconds.

With his back to his brother, Xi Yutang said softly, "Brother is going to protect them, and I'll take Lao Lie away." ”

"I'm coming!"

"I'm coming!"

The voices of Xi Yulan and Wei Han overlapped at this moment.

"Shut up and do it!" Xi Yutang was angry, "This seat has the highest martial arts here, go!" ”

She came to Lie Aotian and said firmly, "Old Lie, resist me, Lie Ying is still waiting for you outside." ”

As he spoke, he threw the lifter onto his back.

Half a pillar of incense had already passed, and Yue Qingfeng had already set his eyes on the incense stick that was about to be burned more than once at this time. Just when he couldn't bear it anymore and was about to go in to find someone in person, there was a sudden exclamation from the surroundings.

He jerked his head up, and at a glance he saw Si Li, who had escaped from the wolf Bèi escorted by the secret guards, and the unconscious crown princess.

He couldn't help but take a step forward, Yue Qingfeng's eyes stared at the door of the main hall, and after a while, Xi Yulan carried Shen Qi on one shoulder, and walked out with the unconscious Shaoguang in the other. Behind him, Zou Qing carried Yingqiu with one arm, and further back, a tall figure escorted the other two out of the smoke.

The antidote to the dissipation of the power was only enough to support a few people to walk out of the hall at this time, so Wei Han could only support Xi Yutang beside him with the only strength he had, on her other side, Jiang Qiantong followed her closely and helped her share the pressure, while the tall and tall Lie Aotian was lying on Xi Yutang's back, and now he was completely unconscious.

The moment they walked out of the main hall, almost everyone breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Tang Tang." Yue Qingfeng strode forward to help her put down Lie Aotian, and then took the person into his arms.

"I'm back." Xi Yutang couldn't help but smile, although his face was black and full of smoke and dust, his eyes were extremely bright, and he gently patted the back of the person in front of him, "Don't worry." ”

Glancing at his empty palms in a daze, Wei Han subconsciously looked up at the two of them, and then shrank his pupils slightly.

Xi Yutang relieved the turtle breath, took the water that Yue Qingfeng had prepared a long time ago, drank a few sips, and luckily breathed for a moment, and then met Wei Han's gaze, "Thank you Wei Qianhu." ”

Hearing this, Yue Qingfeng also glanced up at Wei Han and did not speak.

"......" looked at Xi Yutang's eyes as bright as stars steadily, and Wei Han replied for a long time, "It's this official...... The Xie Xi Sect Leader is. ”

He changed his title, but strangely lost the alienation and tension he usually had.

Xi Yutang was slightly stunned, then waved his hand, leaned on the Yue Qingfeng behind him, and closed his eyes tiredly.

————

A fire completely made Si Li's marriage come to naught.

The crown princess Xie Jia still didn't survive, and was declared dead by the imperial doctor, Yingqiu and Shaoguang woke up on the second day after being in a coma for a night, and Shen Qi was in a coma for three days before slowly waking up.

Lie Aotian still didn't save his legs in the end, and he went to the Tai Hospital after leaving the fire, but all kinds of methods were exhausted but still useless, and by the time Shen Qi had the strength to perform the needle, his legs could not be saved. After Lao Lie's own approval, Xi Yutang, a sworn brother, used Jiuyou to amputate his limbs.

This time the fire in the East Palace, countless casualties, five important ministers of the court were buried in the fire, the rest of the injured are not counted, Yanping Emperor Long Yan was furious, and ordered the Jinyi Division to be fully responsible for the investigation of the truth of the cause of the fire, and it is necessary to bring the murderer who planned this matter to justice.

Xie Jia was buried as the crown princess, and the prince Sili personally boarded the gate of the Xie family, and the five ministers were also rewarded and compensated, and the leader of the Flame Gang, Lie Aotian, the leader of the Xuantian Sect, Xi Yutang, and the master of the Jingge Pavilion of the Listening Rain Pavilion were also rewarded for their meritorious service in protecting His Royal Highness.

Just when Shen Qi and the others were recuperating from their injuries, Wei Han resolutely began to investigate the fire in the East Palace, and finally pointed the finger at Ziwei Lou and Ouyang Xuan.

The Son of Heaven was furious, and the corpses were floating for hundreds of miles, although they still failed to find Zhuo Zhengyang, Ouyang Xuan and others, but a series of holy decrees completely cut off the back road of Ziwei Lou and all the disciples of Broken Yuemen.

The rivers and lakes, which have only been quiet for a year or two, have become popular again with the old nest of Broken Yuemen being served by the imperial court.

The tournament was postponed to the end of August, and at the same time, the wedding date of Yue Xuan's son and Xi Yutang was passed to the capital, and it was officially set on the ninth day of March of the following year.
