The roasted dry and brittle wood made a screaming sound in the flames, the characteristics of the Chinese palace building, the large wooden support, the harsh fire, the strong and antiseptic cedar wood harvested from the Caucasus can no longer support it, the seriously carbonized beams and trees are broken, and one after another century-old wooden pillars collapse.

Without support, the roof of the hundreds of tons of canopy collapsed completely, and the dragon's head and owl's kiss, phoenix, lion, and majestic spine beasts also fell to pieces in this catastrophe.

Such a big fire, it is impossible for the soldiers of Havaliji to set fire, many places have not yet set foot in the rebel army, the magnificent palace has been burned to ruins, the gorgeous garden trees have turned into charred torches, in the thick smoke, Li Que still did not hesitate to run to the depths of the palace.

The main hall in front of you, no! The Raising Pole Hall in the rear, no! Layers of pavilions and pavilions, the Wanguo Building has changed a lot since Li Que left, and she can only rely on her memory to grope around.

Passing through the palace room surrounded by raging fire, a behemoth came into Li Que's eyes.

Originally, the dazzling sun and moon in the Damascus Palace and the moon pool in the pool have disappeared, on the basis of the moon pool, the huge earth platform base of seven or eight meters high even covers half of the sky, the pavilions and pavilions above, the sundials of Huabiao are everywhere, the towering Ming Hall towers above the clouds, if it is usual, it must be incomparably majestic and magnificent, but now, here is more like a big furnace.

The sharp-eyed Li Que finally saw a sitting figure on the marble steps in front of the Ming Hall where the fire was burning, even if it was so far away, the figure was still extremely familiar.

"Hou Jie, I'm here!"

With a shout, he covered his head with both hands, and against the rolling heat wave that was blowing in his face, Li Que rushed up hundreds of steps.

Before coming, Li Que had thought about what kind of Hou Jie he had encountered, he was devastated, trembling, crying bitterly, wondering about the last life he would fight with the enemy, and he died like a hero, but when she really ran to the top of the base, when Hou Jie was in front of her, what she saw was an extremely quiet Hou Jie.

There is no longer a trace of the appearance of an Arab, wearing a black Kowloon robe, a three-beam crown on his head, and a neat bundle of black hair, as if watching a beautiful drama, quietly watching the scene of destruction in front of him.

Located on a very high position, the fierce wind blew away the unbearable heat, and the view was extremely wide, and the palace full of flames, and the city of Damascus, which had been ravaged by the flames of war, could be seen in full view.

Looking at the terrible scene like hell in front of him, Hou Jie was as calm as a lake, and Li Que, who was running over calmly out of breath, couldn't help but be stunned, and even she had an illusion that Hou Jie was still the big boy on the boat who had a hard mouth and blocked him with his body, and he hadn't changed at all.

In a trance, Li Que was stunned for a while, and at this moment, there was a roar in front of him, and under the intense flames, even the Greek-style palace made of stone could not withstand such a high temperature, the stone cracked, the heavy hall was torn apart, and Caesar, David, and the exquisite works of art below were shattered.

It seemed that he smelled the smell of lime, and after taking a breath very intoxicated, Hou Jie slowly turned his head and said with a very slow tone of congratulations.

"It's good to have you here."

"The scene of the collapse of a huge empire, but it is rare to have it for a thousand years, if you don't have a confidant to accompany you, wouldn't it be too lonely?"

Only then did he come back to his senses, Li Que immediately nervously dragged the hem of Hou Jie's long dragon robe, dragged it down, and hurriedly urged: "Now is not the time to gossip, go quickly!" ”

Hiss, the cloth came out of his hand, and as Hou Jie fell, half of his sleeves were torn off from the dark dragon robe, looking at Li Que who was stunned with half of his sleeves, Hou Jie poked his head forward with a smile and asked, "Go?" Where to go? ”

This sentence really made Li Que stiffen for a moment, and then she replied hurriedly: "Go back to Fujian!" ”

"Concubine Zhuang and I will intercede for you, as long as you don't leak the news, the King of Min will definitely agree to pardon you, and when the time comes, go back to Fuzhou, go to Manila, go back to Guanzhong, go to the Wa Kingdom, the world is so big, you can go anywhere."

"And then like a rat crossing the street, listening to people spitting on my name, and surviving for the rest of my life?"

Li Que was stunned again, Hou Jie was still so full of smiles, and even shook his head a little stupidly.

"I can't go back, hehe."

"Then you must not sit and wait for death, you must come with me!" Annoyed and lost his sleeves, Li Que grabbed Hou Jie's shoulder again, but Hou Jie's hand was suddenly raised, and he grabbed his face suddenly.

Finally, there was no longer the calmness just now, his face was full of longing, and even brought a lot of pleading, Hou Jie looked at Li Que's silver mask longingly reflecting the fire in the sky, staggered up and chased two steps forward, and said pleadingly: "Take off your mask and let me see your face, okay?" ”

A little tingling came from his cheek, unconsciously covering his left cheek, lowering his head, Li Que asked in a low voice of resistance, "Is it still important?" ”

"For me, it's important!"

Hou Jie nodded abruptly with a hint of fear in his eagerness, looking at his appearance, biting his lip, Li Que finally gently took off the silver mask that he had been wearing for an unknown amount of time, and in an instant, Hou Jie's pupils shrank suddenly.

The face of a half-angel, the face of an ordinary devil caught his eye.

On the night of the bloody and chaotic Qunu rebellion, she was hit hard by Scar Liu, and Li Yuer fell headlong into the burning granary, and the hot grain and grass ruined half of her face.

On the left cheek, scars and blister marks gathered hideously on the jade-like face, even more terrifying and ugly than the scars of Hussein who ruined his face, seeing Hou Jie's stunned gaze, Li Que, no, Yu'er, covered his left cheek again and lowered his head.

A woman is a person who pleases herself, and there is nothing more cruel than an ugly appearance in her sweetheart.

After being stunned for a moment, Hou Jie laughed out loud in a nervous way, staggered back two steps back, sat on the steps just now, shook his head in disbelief, frenzy, and surprise, and muttered.

"I knew that my Yu'er would never die so easily, and you would never really die like this, I never believed it anymore."

"Haha, Hou Jie, you fool, if the jade is not complete, it is lacking, she has long been by your side, why can't you think of it, hahahaha, Hou Jie, you are really the stupidest fool in the world, haha, hahahaha!"

Standing up again, opening his arms and laughing wildly to the sky, Hou Jie laughed like a madman.

Reflecting Hou Jie's laughter, on both sides of the long white marble steps at the foundation of the Ming Hall, the five-meter-high wooden diagonal watchtower could no longer withstand the engulfment of the flames.

Li Yu'er finally got anxious, discarded the mask, and once again dragged Hou Jie's sleeve on the other side, and shouted anxiously: "What will happen later, come with me!" If you don't leave, it's too late! ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go!"

This time, she didn't resist anymore, and stopped Li Yu'er's waist with her hand, but Hou Jie dragged her to the burning Mingtang, and explained while running.

"I dug a tunnel in the Ming Hall to connect to the former Emir Governor's Palace, from where I could escape from the palace and away from the land of right and wrong in Damascus! Let's go! ”

A similar warmth came from her waist, and Li Yuer subconsciously covered the back of Hou Jie's calloused hand, without any resistance, and followed him into the fire without hesitation.

Overhead. The crackling sound of the wooden beams and wood burning, it may collapse at any time, and the dragon chair similar to the Dazheng Hall stood under the dangerous eaves, and there was no longer calm, Hou Jie was sweating and knocked on the armrest of the dragon chair, and after a while, in the sound of the mechanism, the Dan Hall where the dragon chair was located was completely moved, and the dark dark passage was slowly revealed.

Without a trace of fear by Hou Jie's side, leaving all the grievances and hatreds, right and wrong behind, Li Yuer calmly watched the dark secret passage slowly unfold in front of her, and suddenly, she turned her head yearningly, looked at Hou Jie's anxious face and said.

"Applejack, we don't care about anything after we escape, and we just take the boat back to Manila, okay? I'm no longer the lord of the county, and you're no longer a caliph, just the two of us, like at that time, go out fishing, open a small shop, watch the sunrise together every morning, and send away the afterglow of the sun together every sunset, how good! ”

Full of yearning, Li Yu'er muttered, speaking of the good, there were even two dimples piled up at the corners of her mouth, but just looking down at the secret passage that slowly opened inch by inch under her feet, Hou Jie only nodded vaguely.

Maybe the Dandian is too heavy, and the time for a cup of tea has only opened a hole more than half a meter in size, holding Li Yuer's waist, Hou Jie hurriedly said: "Let's go, we have to jump!" ”

"Hmm!"

With a happy smile, Li Yuer and Hou Jie took two steps forward side by side, but just when Li Yuer looked down at how deep it was below, she was unexpectedly pushed into her waist with a force, and in her shock, she staggered into the tunnel.

The tunnel is extremely deep, no less than five meters, but there is a blanket of swan feathers in the lower hall, although there is a smell of damp mold, it still catches Yu'er's body steadily.

Almost immediately staggered up, incredulous and full of fear, Yu'er anxiously shouted to the top with a crying voice: "Hou Jie, what are you going to do?" ”

What caught his eye was Hou Jie's relaxed smile......
