CHAPTER XXIV
Just for a moment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
As soon as he let go of his hand, the firelight climbed up the pavilion along the liquor and hay, and the fire shot straight into the sky, accompanied by billowing smoke.
Behind Lin Yao, the courtiers who were originally worried saw this and rushed towards the Vermilion Bird Hall desperately. "Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire!"
But when they rushed to His Royal Highness Suzaku, their faces were covered with black ash from the thick smoke, and they desperately removed the hay, they suddenly all looked at Yijiang strangely.
Of course, Empress Dowager Yang did not notice this scene.
"Iniquity...... What a wickedness! Empress Dowager Yang loosened her body, knelt on the ground, and stared blankly at the Vermilion Bird Hall where the fire was burning.
"East Gate...... Hurry up to the East Gate! Empress Dowager Yang panicked and looked at Lin Yao at a loss. There is a secret passage leading to the Suzaku Hall, go and save the emperor! ”
"It is also the will of the Queen Mother." In the firelight, the presumptuous smile also made Empress Dowager Yang shudder.
Where is this a teenager, this is a devil!
He also gave a military salute to Lin Yao and Lin Yuji, waved his hand, and went straight to the east gate.
Lin Yao also reacted at this time, and ordered a thousand soldiers to surround the Vermilion Bird Hall tightly.
In the grief-stricken expression of Empress Dowager Yang, the raging fire around the Vermilion Bird Hall burned more and more fiercely, burning more and more, and then all ...... 'poof' was extinguished.
In addition to the slight blackening of the walls of the Suzaku Hall, I am afraid that only the black ash on the ground can prove that there was indeed a fire here.
"This ......" Empress Dowager Yang was dumbfounded.
This is what the courtiers only discovered when they rushed to the Suzaku Hall before: they would just visit all kinds of flammable materials around the Suzaku Tower, and then set it on fire. But I don't know why, although the Suzaku Tower itself was full of flames along the spilled spirits, it was not ignited.
"Back to the general, the gentleman has ordered, and half of the jar that has been brought here is made up of spirits and half of water. The gentleman said that if you mix wine and water together, the fire will only float on the surface and will not light anything. The little soldier who had also been explained before knelt in front of Lin Yao, and looked at the Queen Mother and the general with ugly faces tremblingly.
I have to say that when Lin Yao heard this, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Finally, this kid still knows how to measure.
Seeing that the shadow of the flame that was still rising just now suddenly disappeared, and hearing Xiao Bing's words, Empress Dowager Yang of course also reacted that she had been deceived.
She was stunned for a long time, and then looked at Lin Yao fiercely with incredible eyes. "You...... Hello, you're good! ”
"Back to my mother, my brother has always been well." Lin Yuji put down the little liver she had been carrying, and showed a victor's smile.
In this game, it is obvious that they won.

"Fellow soldiers, if you have a wish, follow me to save you!" He also raised his arms, pulled out a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and led a thousand soldiers straight to the east gate of the inner palace.
With Empress Dowager Yang's prompt, it didn't take much time for Yijiang to find the rockery at the east gate that was suspected to be the entrance of the secret passage. He checked it a little and found that the plants on the rockery seemed to be a little unnatural.
He also pulled out the cluster of plants with a slight force, and a stone door behind the rockery opened.
"Sir." Lin Yao pointed out to Gao Liang, the deputy general of Yijiang, to tear his clothes in a circle, find a branch to make a simple torch and hand it to Yijiang.
He also swept around with a torch, found no traps, thought about it, and walked in with his feet up.
"Sir, please let the last general get out of the way." Gao Liang stopped Yijiang.
Yijiang nodded, and let Gao Liang step into the secret passage first. He arranged for the rest of the soldiers to divide into several groups to guard the vicinity, and only he and Gao Liang walked inside.
The secret passage is a little wider than you expected, and it looks like it's been a few years since the excavation. The floor of the tunnel is covered with tiles and carved patterns, which seem to have existed since the beginning of the construction of the inner palace.
Gao Liang walked in front with a torch, observing his surroundings as he went, occasionally knocking and knocking, checking for traps.
"Are you from the imperial court or from the general." He also looked at Gao Liang's back and asked casually.
As if he had noticed something, he patted Takara on the shoulder and motioned for him to stop, took the torch in his hand, and swept the floor of the tunnel.
There was a thin layer of ash on the tunnel, and apparently no one had walked through it recently.
It seems that Yang Jing is still in the Vermilion Bird Palace. He touched the dust with one hand, and the thought flashed through his mind.
The fire outside the Suzaku Hall was so fierce that it was impossible for the people in the hall not to see it. If Yang Jing was indeed hiding in the palace with Emperor Huan, why didn't they leave immediately after their hiding place was revealed?
Empress Dowager Yang doesn't look like she's lying, is there a second tunnel?
Or is it......
He also twisted the dust in his hand, and he didn't know why, but there was a trace of uncertainty in his heart.
"Mr. Hui, the last general rescued the general from the battlefield, personally picked it up, followed the general all the time, and was appreciated by the general and promoted to adjutant." Gao Liang replied with a blank look.
He also nodded. He thought that the people sent by Lin Yao to follow him all the way would definitely have a role of monitoring in addition to assistance, and they would only be his own people.
It's good to be Lin Yao's person.
If it weren't for Lin Yao's people, then he really had to wonder if the general was planning to kill him silently somewhere.
"Let's go."
He will also walk briskly along the tunnel.
The tunnels are unexpectedly gentle, with no traps in between, but there are no traces of anyone walking on them.
At the end of the tunnel is a wooden door with a handle on the side of the door, and there is no other fork in the road.
You will also put your hand on the wooden door and push it gently. There was a 'creak' and the door opened.
"You're finally here." Yang Jing's voice came from inside the door.
"You're still there...... Jiang also laughed, blinked his eyes to adjust to the candlelight in the hall, and walked in leisurely.
Why didn't he run away?
The exit of the secret passage opens behind the Buddha wall on the first floor, and as soon as you come out, you will find yourself facing rows of tablets.
To be honest, it's a bit creepy to open the door and find countless tablets staring at you. Well, if you take a closer look, the name of his little daughter-in-law from Chu Gaozu to the previous emperor is clearly written.
Yang Jing stood up, unhurried, calm and handsome. "For more than 400 years since the founding of the Great Chu, you are the only one who dares to burn the emperor's tablet."
He also looked left and right, and found that there was not even a chair in a huge hall, so he simply moved the cards on the desk next to him and sat down on it.
The corners of Gao Liang's mouth twitched, and he wisely pretended that he hadn't seen anything, and stood behind Yijiang.
"A small trick, not enough." Yi Jiang smiled. "It's just like the invisible ink you used when you were in Linjiang Tower, it's just a little thing that deceives people."
"But it's your deceitful little tricks that forced me into a desperate situation." Yang Jing looked at Yijiang seriously for the first time.
He always thought that such a foolish person in cloth had not been carefully cultivated, and there was no inclination of the world's resources. Not to mention that he is just a stinky kid, even if he is a little clever, he will never be his opponent in his life.
However, who knows, he actually fell into the hands of this yellow-haired boy.
"Sure enough, he is a fatherless and kingless person." Yang Jing saw that he was about to take those tablets completely incorrectly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
