Chapter 62: The Great Fire at the Base
The soldiers looked in the direction of his finger and saw dozens of meteors in the southeast sky, swaying and flying in the air, which was very beautiful. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Meteors fly fast and get bigger and bigger.
"No, it's a rocket!" The soldiers reacted, and rockets flew all over the sky.
"Ahh "Ahh Quite a few soldiers were shot.
"Hey, I'm not dead." A soldier shouted.
"This arrow doesn't have an arrow!" Another soldier shouted.
"Oh, no, the wheat field is on fire!" A soldier shouted.
The weather was hot and sultry, and when Cheng Chumo was sleeping, he was only wearing shorts (Tang people wear crotch cloth, and pants are a new way of wearing brought by Li Su), and he ran out naked. As soon as he walked out of the room, he was immediately stupid!
The parched wheat fields were on fire everywhere, and countless rockets continued to fly. What's even more terrifying is that there is still a night wind tonight, and the fire spreads rapidly.
"Hurry up and put out the fire!" Cheng Chumo shouted with a crying voice. Soldiers and peasants rushed forward to put out the fire.
When building the planting base, Li Su emphasized that it is necessary to pay attention to fire prevention, leaving a separation zone in the middle of the wheat field, and digging a canal around it. However, all this was useless. There were too many rockets that were fired, leaving no dead ends, and there were too many ignition points, so Feng took advantage of the fire and burned quickly.
The fire was blazing, and the soldiers couldn't get closer.
Cheng Chumo watched as the wheat field was burned down. His eyes were split, and he shouted, "Get on your horse and catch those arsonists!" ”
The officers and men opened the gate, and the horses rushed in the direction where the rockets were fired.
Huang Qi and Du He also lived in the base, and when they came to the wheat field, they saw that the golden wheat had been burned to ashes.
"Mom, how is this good, I just reported the situation of wheat to the emperor, and tomorrow the emperor will personally take the ministers to watch the opening of the sickle! Whining. ”
Huang Qi sat on the ground and cried.
Du He gritted his teeth with hatred, and punched a horse stake beside him, his fist bleeding, and he didn't feel any pain at all.
Soon, Cheng Chumo came back, and when he saw his gray appearance, he knew that he had found nothing. Sure enough, Cheng Chumo walked over, shook his head and said, "The arsonists of the dog days, all riding fast horses, have long since disappeared. As he spoke, he sat down on the ground.
Huang Qi stopped crying and said, "Hurry up and report to the prince." ”
Cheng stayed at the base to prevent other accidents. Huang Qi and Du He hurried up and went straight to Chang'an City.
This place is only 12 miles away from Chang'an City, and it didn't take long for the two of them to rush to the city gate.
"Open the gates!" Duhe shouted.
"Who?" shouted from the gate tower.
"I'm Du He of the Datang Research Institute, open the city gate quickly!"
"Du Gongzi, no, it's less than 6 o'clock (for the convenience of reading, modern time), you can't open the door."
"Brother, open the city gate quickly, I have something important to report to His Royal Highness the Prince." Du He said eagerly.
"No, there is no general order, and the small ones dare not open the door." The castle tower replied.
Huang Qi shouted: "We are on an errand, the emperor will go out on patrol tomorrow, we have something important to report, and we can't delay!" "Huang Qi is not a fake decree, he just said that he was doing things for the emperor.
There was silence on the castle tower, and there was no movement for a long time. Probably discussed. After a long time, the city tower said: "I'm sorry, Du Gongzi, I can't find our captain, and the little one doesn't dare to open the door." ”
Next, no matter what Du He said, the people on the city tower covered their ears, and no one paid attention to them.
Du He shouted that he was tired and sat on the side of the road with Huang Qi. He fumbled in his pocket, and it was fine, with a cigarette. Huang Qi doesn't know how to smoke, so he also lit one, and the two stayed up in the night breeze.
Half past six, Liang Wangfu.
"Boom!" Yang Kang gets up early every morning, he is a military general, and it is necessary to get up early to practice. He was the captain of the palace guard, and every morning, after getting up, he would go around the palace to check if anything happened during the night, and then go to practice.
As soon as he reached the gate, he heard the gate being smashed, and he stepped forward and shouted, "Who? ”
"Is it Yang Kang? Open the door! I'm Huang Qi! Someone outside heard him.
"It's an army member." (Huang Qi turned out to be a record of Liang Wangfu to join the army) Yang Kang hurriedly opened the door.
As soon as Huang Qi and Du He entered the door, they asked eagerly, "Has the prince gotten up?" ”
Yang Kang smiled: "My lord, don't you know, when did the prince get up early?" Hey, what's going on with you, what's wrong? ”
Seeing that the two of them looked embarrassed, Yang Kang asked curiously.
Huang Qi and Du He ignored him and ran directly to Li Su's bedroom.
"Brother Su, Brother Su!" When he came to Li Su's bedroom, Du He shouted loudly.
Cai Sha heard someone shouting and hurriedly came out to check. When Huang Qi saw her, he hurriedly said, "Go and call the prince to get up, there is something important!" ”
Picking yarn, he pushed the door and went in.
After a while, Li Su came out, he stretched his waist, and said, "You two are not at the base, what are you doing here?" ”
Huang Qi said: "Let's go, go to the guest room, the minister has something important to report." ”
Li Su rubbed his eyes as he walked, and said, "Pick yarn and make tea for Lord Huang!" ”
Huang Qi still had the heart to drink tea, he waved his hand at picking yarn, and followed Li Su to the guest room.
Entering the guest room, Huang Qi suddenly knelt on the ground and cried and said, "I'm sorry for the prince, the minister is in trouble, woo." "It is said that Huang Qinian is no longer confused, he has experienced wind and waves, and he should not be so alarmed. But he has just personally reported the situation to Li Shimin, and today the emperor and ministers are going to the planting base. Something like this happened, and he was under too much pressure.
Li Su was shocked, he didn't know what was going on, he asked, "What's the situation?" ”
Du He said directly: "The base has been set on fire!" ”
Li Su hurriedly asked, "Did you hurt anyone?" ”
"No, only a few soldiers were slightly injured and were out of the way," Duhe said. ”
Li Su breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's good that it didn't hurt anyone." As he spoke, he helped Huang Qi up.
Huang Qi was very moved. In ancient times, human life was as cheap as grass. The prince doesn't ask anything else, first of all, he cares about the safety of his subordinates, and it is really lucky to be a subordinate to have such a master.
Huang Qi and Du He finished reporting to Li Su what had happened, and looked at Li Su worriedly, not knowing how he would explain to the prince and the emperor.
Li Su smiled: "That's it? I thought there was something big going on, but you were in a hurry. Let's have tea. ”
Huang Qi and Du He glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: "The prince is scared stupid, he can still laugh at such a big thing." ”
Du He asked cautiously, "Brother Xuan, are you okay?" ”
