42 Chapter 42 Walking the Water

On this day, Li Di slept until midnight, and was suddenly woken up by Hao Jun's anxious voice. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

When she opened her eyes, Hao Jun's not-so-handsome face hung above her head.

Hao Jun saw that the emperor had finally woken up, so he hurriedly told her the reason: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the library is out of water~"

Li Yan was startled, jumped off the bed barefoot, and suddenly lost his sleepiness.

"But is there anyone in there? Can the fire be extinguished? When did the fire start? She bombarded Hao Jun with a series of questions, put on a robe casually, and ran out.

Hao Jun chased after her, and said as he ran: "No one inside still doesn't know, but there should be, the library pavilion only saw a few doormen, and the one who lived in the side hall didn't see it, and no one knew when the fire was lit, and when it was known, the fire was already very big."

Li Yan was about to cry angrily, and said angrily: "What about the night watchman? What about the patrol people? Where have they gone? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know ...... yet"

"Wait a minute." Li Di, who was originally running fast, suddenly stopped.

Li Yan turned around and said to the waiter who ran with her: "Ye Lai, you go to see Feng'er, you must not leave him for half a step." Others follow me......"

Before he had finished speaking, the man was already running out like an arrow off the string.

The servants had no choice but to follow suit.

When she arrived at the thousand-step corridor in front of the library pavilion, she could already see the flames that almost wanted to lift the sky very clearly.

Li Yan was wearing a robe and gradually felt a little hot.

The closer you go, the more you can hear the noisy and busy firefighting and command voices ahead, and after a turn, the current situation of the library is fully visible.

Not far from Li Di, the landscape and Ji Chenxu were all disheveled and anxiously commanding the waiters and the waiters to carry water to extinguish the fire, some of the waiters had already joined the firefighting army, and some were watching from a short distance.

The people rushed to the library with buckets, and the sound of the collision of wooden barrels, the sound of falling water, and the shouts of the inner and outer servants intertwined and collided with each other.

In addition, the artificial lake is also some distance away from the library pavilion, and the inside and outside servants will inevitably stain their shoes when they fetch water, so the originally clean and tidy marble paved ground is muddy at this time, and the picture is very mixed.

I'm afraid only she knows how many precious books there are in the Library.

She originally had a fluke in her heart, hoping that this was just a false alarm, hoping that the fire would not be too big.

But when she saw the arrogant sky-swallowing flame, she immediately understood that the fire could not be extinguished by mere manpower.

It's just that the flame is too big, and the water source is too far away.

Someone noticed her arrival, quietly approached the library pavilion, and helped the exhausted water bearer......

When Li Tong witnessed another foreign attendant drenching his whole body and rushing into the library that had become a fire in hell, Li Yan's heart couldn't help but shrink violently.

She knew very well that the fire could not be extinguished, so why bother with another fresh life.

She hurriedly stepped forward to stop it, asking Ji Chenxu and the landscape to stop and put out the fire.

"Waiter Ji asked them to stop fighting the fire, since it is irreparable, don't let people die anymore."

Ji Shifu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "However, those scrolls of the emperor are ...... ...... all day" He intuitively felt that Li Yan was not joking, but it was also too ridiculous.

His tongue is not only knotted: "It is unique...... Target. ”

However, in her concept: "I know, but although those books are precious, they are dead things after all, and they are not as important as one-ten-thousandth of human life."

Li Yan's serious face and powerful voice made Ji Chenxu and Jing look sideways many times, not only them, but everyone who heard her words was shocked.

In their conception, human life is not worth an understatement from a person of high status.

In any case, in the end, the firefighting operation was stopped as Li Yan wished.

But if those books are burned, I am afraid that there will be no more in the world, not to mention most of the empress records in them, she has not read them, and ...... As soon as she thought about it, she suddenly remembered that she had not been to the top floor of the library pavilion......

Her hoarse voice rang out amid the crackling of burning: "Are there any casualties?"

Ji Chenxu said with a sad face: "Eleven people were slightly burned, two were severely burned, and there were no deaths."

She listened to his words, and her heart was happy, but the lingering melancholy between her brows was obvious.

And everyone only then realized that His Majesty had come barefoot.

The small feet, which were originally as smooth as jade, could no longer see their original appearance at this time.

How anxious it must be to forget to put on shoes.

Li Yan faced the firelight, his heart was gloomy, and at this moment, a young man with an indistinguishable appearance who was stained with black ash all over his body suddenly appeared in front of Li Yan.

He said: "Your Majesty, Zhao Shi has a law to save the books of the Library Pavilion from fire and water."

I don't know who he is, but I can't care so much at this time. As if grasping at the last straw, she asked eagerly, "Say it, say it quickly."

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, she was getting more and more panicked, but she still had nothing to do, and at this time, someone took the initiative to offer a plan, no matter what the result was, she would definitely try it.

Waiter Zhao said very quickly: "When Zhao Shi just put out the fire, he found that the fire behind the library pavilion was not serious, and people could also climb up the rockery, so they could cooperate with the people in front of the library to extinguish the fire together, and get twice the result with half the effort." And on the way to fetch water, Zhao Shi noticed that there was a large sand pile in the middle, the water source was quite far away from the library pavilion, but the sand pile was very close to the library pavilion, although the fire extinguishing effect was not as significant as water, but it was worth a try. ”

Hearing him say this, Li Di remembered that the sand pile was originally built to build the "tallest building", but in the end, it didn't work.

Li Yan thought for a few moments, felt that his idea was feasible, and said yes, even if he mobilized everyone to do what he said.

The black Zhao waiter led a few teams of people from the back of the library to bypass, climbed up the second floor along the rockery, followed by the third floor, and then hung down dozens of thick hemp ropes from the upper floor, and the attendants downstairs hooked the bucket on the golden hook at the end of the hemp rope, pulled hard, and the water was sent up like this.

At the front of the library pavilion, except for Li Di, who was empty-handed, almost everyone was busy.

Some people still went to fetch water from a distance, while others went to fetch sand, but because the sand pile was so close, the efficiency increased significantly, and Li Di's violent heartbeat calmed down in the gradual slowing of the fire.

In the end, Li Di looked at the first and second floors of the burned black char, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief, after all, most of the above second floor were safe and sound.

Everyone was tired and sat down on the ground.

Li Di suddenly felt a heart-piercing pain in her left foot, and when she looked down, she saw that her left foot was bleeding out, and she didn't know how long it had been flowing, and the ground under her feet was dyed red.
