Chapter 18 The Beginning of Yin
The horses beside the carriage also turned their ears at the same time, snorting uneasy.
The guards did not bother to appease their mounts, and they all turned their necks to the north. On the fifteenth day of the first month of the third year of Tianbao, the beginning of Yin.
Chang'an, Wannian County, Anyi Changle intersection.
From the moment he pulled out the lamp and threw out the candle, Li Mi has been following behind the four-watch car to which the East Palace belongs. However, he did not rush forward to identify himself, but pulled a distance and quietly followed.
Li Mi held the reins in his hand, leaned forward, and held a posture that could accelerate at any time. But he didn't dare to get too far ahead, because a terrible conjecture was emerging. This thought is the so-called "inner demon" of Taoism, the more he resists, the more powerful it becomes, and as soon as there is a gap, he will take advantage of the void and entangle his heart like a vine, making it difficult for him to breathe, and his heart is cold.
After leaving Xingqing Palace, this four-wang carriage passed through the Changle intersection of Anyi and walked all the way to the south. This trend is quite strange, because the prince's residence is in Changle Fang, located in the Ten Princes' Mansion in the east annex of Anguo Temple.
Neither attending the Spring Festival banquet nor returning to the mansion, on this good night, where does the prince want to go?
The streets in this area are full of people watching the lanterns, they are as if they are fascinated by the grand scene of the lantern tower in the distance, but they will not respectfully bow their heads and give way because of the banners erected on the four cars. The carriage moved with great impatience, slamming violently through the crowd, whipping up waves of angry shouts and shoutsβmore like a panicked escape than a desperate escape.
There were only a few guards on both sides of the four-way car, and the honor guards were all indebted. The hand resting on the lattice of the window was constantly tapping irritably, without a moment's pause.
Li Mi crouched on horseback, occasionally turned around, and saw the lamp house of the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower lit up one after another. The people around him shouted in surprise one after another, but the more he listened, the more anxious he became. When the twenty-four lamp houses are lit up, Que Lehodo will be resurrected, and at that time, I am afraid that Chang'an City will suffer a catastrophe.
Before he tracked the carriage, he had already greeted General Chen Xuanli, warned that there was a fierce fire and thunder hidden in the lighthouse, and asked him to evacuate the Qinzheng Mansion immediately. As for whether Chen Xuanli listens or not, it is beyond Li Mi's control - then again, even if it starts evacuating now, it will be too late. There were hundreds of guests on the main floor of the diligent government affairs, and there were tens of thousands of people on the Xingqing Palace Square, and there was no way to leave the explosion range in a hurry.
can only be counted on Zhang Xiaojing to stop the start of the lantern tower in time, which is the only hope for Chang'an City.
Thinking of this, Li Mi frowned slightly, trying to suppress that demon. But this time, any Dao method was ineffective, and the inner demon swelled rapidly, almost infecting Li Yu's entire spiritual platform, forcing him to think according to an extremely reluctant train of thought.
At this delicate point in time, anyone who leaves the diligent government building is suspicious.
So, why did the prince leave Xingqing Palace at this time? Was it because he knew that there was a fierce fire and thunder in the light tower, so he left early?
As soon as the thought of this was thought, it was like opening the floodgates, and it could no longer be contained: as long as the fierce fire and thunder exploded, the entire diligent government building would suddenly turn into powder, from the Son of Heaven to Li Xiang, there would be no sparing, and the entire high-level of the imperial court would be empty.
Except for the crown prince, no, by that time he was already an emperor.
Li Mi's heart tightened suddenly, and his nails dug into the cowhide reins, leaving deep marks. He couldn't continue to deduce, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became. Li Mi had known the crown prince for many years, and he did not believe that the loyal and cowardly prince would do such a thing.
But...... After all, Li Heng is the queen of the Li family. In the blood of this tribe, there is always a wisp of kin-devouring ferocity. The blood stains in front of the Xuanwu Gate can't be wiped clean. Thinking of this, Li Yu's body shook on the horse, and his confidence was shaken.
The carriage ahead had gradually moved away from the crowded area, and its speed had increased. Li Mi bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to calm down. He flicked the reins and told the mount to speed up so that it wouldn't be thrown off.
Siwang car walked through Changle, Jinggong, Xinchang, Shengdao Zhufang, the front of the car always rushed to the south. Li Mi found that the direction of the car was very firm, and the driver did not hesitate when crossing the intersection - this shows that the car has a clear destination.
The lights on the street are still very strong, but after all, it has reached the southern city, and the level of activity is not the same as that of the north. On the east side of this area is the east wall of Chang'an City, and on the west side is the high slope of Leyouyuan, forming a valley road in the middle of the city with two towering wings and a low depression in the middle. Residents of Chang'an call this section of the road "Cover Ditch", which is a good place to visit during the day, but at night, the streets are shaded by black high walls, and the momentum is calm.
The car walked into the ditch, and the speed of the car slowly slowed down. When it arrived at the intersection of the Shengping Road, it suddenly turned to the right, and happened to pass by the edge of the southern foot of the Leyou Plain.
Li Mi was hiding behind, his mind spinning rapidly, wondering if there was something suspicious around here. Before he could think of it, the four-looking car had stopped far away.
There are not many residents in this area, there are no large lamp stands, only a few windproof thick leather lanterns are hung in critical places, and the light is not very good. Where the carriage stopped, a tall spire could be seen in the south, which was the Tongfa Temple tower in the workshop; On the north side, there is a tall cyan wall, and a small door with an inverted monument has opened on the wall. When this kind of door is opened, it is not pushed open left and right, but the entire door panel is poured forward, tiled on the ground, and the two sides are pulled by iron chains, which can be retracted. Because it is shaped like a stone monument falling to the ground, it is named.
In Chang'an, there are only two situations when the fang wall is opened on the street: either to commend the minister's merits and open the door; Either there is a practical use that is forced to be used, such as the Changmingfang brick kiln where the Turkic wolf guards are hiding, because the volume of goods in and out is too large, and another door must be opened.
So what is the place where an inverted monument door was opened in the wall here? Li Mi's eyes swept over, and noticed that above the door was an arched hollow pattern, the lines were quite complicated, there were honeysuckle, calamus, green wood, Shicaozi and other flowers and grass leaf patterns, all of which were medicinal things.
Li Mi immediately remembered that this was Shengping Fang, and there was a medicine garden in it, which was designed for cultivating all kinds of herbs in the East Palace. The medicine garden needs a lot of fertilizer, soil, and grass, and it is used by the prince, so it is normal to open the door when the street is opened. Li Mi remembered that Li Heng once rewarded himself with some herbal paste, and proudly boasted that he had grown and baked his own ingredients, which turned out to be the ingredients he took from here.
But why did the prince come all the way to the medicine garden?
Li Mi was full of doubts in his heart, and he had to think about it, forgetting to pull the reins. The mount saw the light ahead, and its master did not hinder it, so he leaned in on his own initiative.
There were few pedestrians nearby, and the guards around the carriage heard the sound of horses' hooves and immediately discovered Li Mi's hiding. They were nervous, let out a warning cry, and flashed their weapons. The hand resting on the window lattice of the four-looking car, like a frightened rabbit, suddenly retracted.
When Li Mi heard the shout, he knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, so he simply turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "I am Jing'an Sicheng Li Mi!" Those guards were very familiar with Li Mi, and when they heard that it was him, they put down their weapons one after another. The guards didn't notice, and the car trembled slightly.
"I want to see the prince." Li Mi shouted loudly as he walked forward. The guards looked at each other, a little overwhelmed. The prince was in the Siwang car, and the conversation outside must have been heard very clearly, but the car remained silent all the time, and there was no order to come down.
"Minister, Jing'an Sicheng Li Mi, ask to see the prince!" Li Mi's voice was a little louder, and his feet didn't stop, and he was a little closer to the Siwang car. His emotions became agitated, and he had to figure it out, even at the worst cost.
Before there was a reaction in the car, Li Mi's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he frowned and looked north. The horses beside the carriage also turned their ears at the same time, snorting uneasy. The guards did not bother to appease their mounts, and they all turned their necks to the north.
Both men and horses sensed it, and a slight boom came from a distance, followed by an uneasy tremor under their feet. Although in this position, the view of the north was all blocked by Leyouyuan, but Li Mi knew that something must have happened to the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower.
The twenty-four lamp houses of the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower are mainly divided into three parts: the lamp and candle department, the lamp figurines department and the organ department. The organ is hidden deep in the bottom floor of the lamp house, covered with veneer and silk on the outside, and the hook rod that pulls the lantern figurines is located inside.
When the fish intestines pushed the red long handle on the wooden platform, the force was transmitted layer by layer, and it was instantly transmitted to the organs of the twenty-four lamp houses. A copper ratchet suddenly clicked, staggering with the adjacent unicorn arm. This small dislocation caused a burning candle to slide directly below the unicorn arm, and the blazing flame just happened to catch the exposed oil twist.
The oil twist burst into flames, its length was only a few inches, and the spark soon burrowed into the inner arm of the unicorn, burning all the way to the inner sac.
The giant ship on the lamp tower is still rumbling and turning, shining*, shining, there is no more dazzling building in Chang'an City at this time. The onlookers were fascinated and immersed in this mysterious atmosphere.
After dozens of snaps of fingers, an extremely dazzling spark erupted from the lower part of the "Wuwei" lamp house. In the thunder, the sparks first turned into a red flower center, and then quickly gathered into a cluster of stamens. Then the stamens quickly stretch out in all directions, stretching into fluttering petals. Looking at it from a distance, it is like a peony blooming dozens of times faster, and it instantly swallows the entire lantern figurine scene.
None of the audience realized it was an accident, they all thought it was part of the show, cheering desperately, almost crazy with excitement.
Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower did not disappoint them. It didn't take long for the fire-colored peonies of the other lamp houses to bloom one after another, one after another, the flowers were full of flowers, and the whole night sky was lit up. The deafening explosions followed one after another, as if Lei Gong had struck a fast tune with a drum.
This series of powerful explosions set off a hurricane in the surroundings. The performance of the music class came to an abrupt end, and a series of exclamations sounded from the main building of the diligent government office, and many officials and servants who were standing too close to the railing were thrown to the ground, and the scene was in a mess. The people on the Xingqing Palace Square were also shaken down a lot, causing a small area of chaos. However, this still did not arouse the public's alarm, and more people laughed and looked forward to the next gimmick with interest.
After the initial eruption, the group of lantern houses turned into twenty-four huge torches, burning brightly, making the front of Xingqing Palace as bright as day. Dozens of figurines were in the flames, their faces and paint peeling off quickly, their limbs scorched, and tongues of fire gushing out from the cracks in their bodies, but they still moved one by one, and the picture was bewitching and weird. If Chao Fen had been there, he would have liked the hellish sight.
Inside the lantern tower, the fish intestine looked at Zhang Xiaojing proudly, admiring the poor worm who almost fell into the abyss. He had activated the mechanism, the ritual had been completed, and there were only a few dozen snaps of his fingers left before the complete resurrection of Quelehodo.
The fierce fire and thunder hidden in the lamp house have been carefully adjusted, and the outbreak is secondary, mainly to support combustion. Now twenty-four waves of heat enveloped Tianshu from all directions, and Tianshu was still turning, like a lamb slowly flipping on the grill. When the temperature rises high enough, the large fire thunder hidden in Tianshu's body will erupt violently. By that time, miles will be scorched.
And the poor creature could only watch this happen, powerless to stop it.
Yu Gu was very happy, he rarely showed his emotions so nakedly, and he was even reluctant to kill Zhang Xiaojing. The desperation on that guy's face was so beautiful, like an urn of mellow Xinfeng wine poured into his mouth, and I really wanted to appreciate it for a while.
It's a pity that this wish is destined not to come true. After activating the mechanism, he and Xiao Gui did not owe each other. Next, he had to leave the lamp tower quickly before the outbreak, and there was still an account to settle with Xiao Gui's bastard.
As for Zhang Xiaojing, let him be swallowed by Que Lehodo together with the light tower.
While thinking about this, the fish intestine stepped forward to step off the wooden platform. The soles of his feet hadn't left the ground when he suddenly felt a burning sensation in the soles of his feet. The fish intestine lowered his head to see what was going on, first a brilliant light reflected in his eyes, and then the flames burst from the bottom up, enveloping him all over his body in an instant.
Zhang Xiaojing climbed on the edge of the wooden wheel, watched as the fish intestines turned into a human-shaped torch, which was thrown into the air by the strong impact, and then drew a bright trajectory and fell towards the darkness at the bottom of the light tower.
Xiao Gui said that he would not let this killer live. Zhang Xiaojing thought that he would do something on the retreat route, but he didn't expect it to be so simple and rude. Under the wooden platform, there should also be a fierce fire mine. The mechanism activated by the fish intestine not only woke up the twenty-four lamp houses, but also detonated the fierce fire thunder under his feet. He personally sent himself to a dead end.
Zhang Xiaojing, whose whole body was suspended under the wooden wheel, was lucky to avoid most of the shock wave. He didn't care about emotion, gritted his teeth, and barely turned back the wooden wheel before the muscles in his arm spasmed.
At this time, twenty-four blazing fires surrounded the surroundings, like twenty-four suns rising at the same time, making the lighthouse frighteningly bright. Zhang Xiaojing can clearly see every detail in the building. The cyan and red flames spread along the spiral arms to the interior of the lighthouse, like a group of heralds holding high the flag, and everywhere they went, whether it was skin, brackets, suspension bridges, ropes, or wooden wheels, they all responded to the call and raised the Suzaku flag.
It didn't take long for the entire lantern tower to bloom inside and outside the vermilion peony, they were clustered around the Tianshu, the flames jumping, dancing with the sound of Bi Bi peeling, waiting for the final bloom.
Zhang Xiaojing sat down beside the square platform, staring at the increasingly prosperous Hell around him, and his heart fell into incomparable despair and pain.
He overcame all the obstacles and went through countless twists and turns, and finally rushed to the side of Quelehodo. However, this has reached the limit, and it is impossible to get one step closer. All efforts could not prevent this catastrophe from happening, and he fell in the closest place to success. It's just a little bit, but this point is a vast barrier.
The heavens and the earth turned, standing still in the fire, and the top of the column pointed to the north pole of the sky, just as the saying goes, "The heavens are endless, the three lights shine one after another, and the pole star does not move". But Zhang Xiaojing knew that under the scorching fire, the fierce fire thunder hidden in the pivot had awakened, and it could break out at any time, bringing irreparable damage to Chang'an City.
What a cruel thing it is to make a savior who has lost hope watch it all go to the endless abyss. Zhang Xiaojing is not an easy person to give up, but at this time, he can't think of any other way to eliminate this disaster.
This time, he was really at the end of his rope.
When the twenty-four lantern houses burst into flames one after another, Yuan Zai happened to lead the crowd to leave the warning range of the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower and hurried outside.
The shock wave released by the explosion was like an invisible scythe sweeping across the grass. Yuan Zai only felt that his back was pushed by a huge force, and he was knocked to the ground with a bang, and he fell into a gold star. The surrounding soldiers of the Longwu Army and the Brigade Benjun also fell to the ground one after another, and some unlucky ghosts close to the lantern tower let out a miserable scream, rolling on the ground with their legs crossed.
Won Jae got up from the ground in embarrassment, his ears buzzing from the sound of the explosion. He crawled and ran forward dozens of paces until he reached the back of a low wall, with his back against the wall, and felt safe enough. Yuan Jae gasped, and cold sweat oozed from his broad forehead.
He was afraid for a while, if he hadn't made a quick decision just now and ordered everyone to quit immediately, he might have been blown up or burned in the lamp tower now.
Those stupid lantern watchers didn't know what to do, and they were still cheering in the distance. Yuan Zai raised his head again and saw that the entire lamp tower became dazzling in the flames, and twenty-four clusters of angry flames burned the sky into red. This is definitely not a well-designed gimmick, and no matter how delicate the craftsman is, he will not burn the main structure on fire. The flames have already spread to the spiral arm, it is definitely an accident, and it is a deliberate accident!
This is the fierce fire and thunder that Zhang Xiaojing said, right?
At the thought of this name, Won Jae's head hurt again. He clearly saw that Zhang Xiaojing stuffed a fierce fire thunder into the turning machine, is this unclear that he is going to do something bad? Now that the conspiracy has finally succeeded, and the Denglou has finally been bombed, no matter how you look at it, the whole thing was done by Zhang Xiaojing. But Yuan Zai never understood that too many of Zhang Xiaojing's behaviors were full of contradictions, and when he finally rushed into the light tower from the top pavilion, he specially told Yuan Zai to send them a warning, which villain would be so kind?
Wonjae shook his head, trying to get the questions out of his head. Were you dumbfounded by the sound of those explosions just now? How is Zhang Xiaojing, and what does it have to do with me? Now that the evidence is conclusive, and all the blame is beared, why bother more? There are more important things to do.
Won Jae has a strong premonition that this matter is not over yet, and a bigger crisis is yet to come. The plan now is to raise the alarm as soon as possible. This alert cannot be sent by others, and Yuan Zai must go in person, so as to show the loyalty of "serving in danger".
Wonjae stretched out his hands and rubbed his face to sober himself up as soon as possible.
At this time, the guard circle of the Longwu Army near the lantern tower was already chaotic, and more than half of the soldiers were affected by the explosion just now and fell to the ground, and the remaining soldiers were at a loss, brandishing weapons to prevent anyone from approaching, and no one was allowed to treat the wounded.
Yuan Zai ignored this mess, he lifted his shirt and stuffed it into his belt, and quickly followed the emergency communication channel opened up by the Long Wu Army, and rushed towards the Jinming Gate. On the way to run, Yuan Zai saw that the main building of the diligent government was also in a mess, the candle shadows were scattered, the footsteps were scattered, and even the continuous music was interrupted.
Won Jae is familiar with the rules of the palace. This is the most important spring banquet of the year, and the sudden suspension of a song before it is finished will be regarded as a big bad luck, and the musicians in the music class have to insist on playing even if their hands are broken. Now even the sound of music is gone, which shows that it has suffered a catastrophe.
He ran to the Jinming Gate in one breath, and saw Chen Xuanli standing at the head of the city, no longer with his usual majestic and steady energy, and was constantly talking to several deputies around him, and soldiers kept running to report.
Chen Xuanli had already seen the burning scene of the lamp tower just now. The mess at the Spring Banquet site also reached Jinmingmen as soon as possible. But Chen Xuanli was a cautious person, and he did not immediately dispatch the Dragon Martial Army. Even after receiving Li Mi's warning, he didn't move.
The Long Wu Army is a forbidden army, and its status is sensitive, so it must not be moved. In the previous generations of the Tang Dynasty, there were battles in the palace, and there were all forbidden troops. Not to mention, the two attacks of Tang Long and Xiantian, which were personally instigated by the Holy Lord today, were all grasped by the Forbidden Army before they could kill Empress Wei and Princess Taiping. Chen Xuanli has personally experienced both things, and he knows what the Son of Heaven is most afraid of.
Just imagine, when he didn't get the order of the Son of Heaven, he Chen Xuanli led his troops to break into the Spring Banquet, what would be the result? Even if it is for escort, the Son of Heaven will inevitably think, this time you have no order, next time you can enter without order, and then ...... There may not be then.
Therefore, Chen Xuanli must first figure out what was going on in the Denglou just now. Was it a designed gimmick, or was it an accident? Or is it really as Li Mi said, it was deliberately filled with fierce fire and thunder? Depending on the situation, Long Wujun can make the most correct response.
Chen Xuanli was anxious, and suddenly found that a person under the city was running towards Jinmingmen, and he was shouting, as if there was some urgent situation to report. Looking at this man's cyan robe, he is still a low-ranking official, but he is covered in dirty dust, and even his turban is crooked.
"Jing'an Si Yuanzai asks to see you." Soon a soldier came to report.
Chen Xuanli was slightly surprised, Jing'ansi? Li Mi just left, why is there another one here now? Yuan Zai climbed up to the top of the city out of breath, and when he saw Chen Xuanli, he ignored the salute and shouted loudly: "General Chen, please evacuate the Shangyuan Spring Banquet as soon as possible!" β
Chen Xuanli was stunned, Li Yu also said the same thing just now, why did this person also have the same tone? He asked rhetorically: "Could it be that Your Excellency is saying that there is a fierce fire and thunder in the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower?" β
"I don't know, but according to our company's information, the lantern tower has been infiltrated by grasshoppers, and there must be a means to disadvantage the king!" Yuan Zai didn't know the inside story as well as Li Mi, so he had to speak as smoothly as possible.
Chen Xuanli asked: "Has it already happened, or has it not happened yet?" β
If it's the former, there's no need to worry. There was only a period of chaos at the spring banquet, and there were no casualties; If it's the latter, it's a big problem.
Yuan Zai replied: "I just returned from the lamp tower in Xia, and I saw Mao Shun being thrown off the tall building, and the thieves came up with fierce fire and thunder. The means of being afraid of grasshoppers are not as simple as burning the lamp house. Chen Xuanli stroked his beard lightly, and his doubts were undecided, Yuan Zai took a step forward and whispered: "You don't need heavy soldiers to escort you, just send the saint out, and the others can leave slowly." β
He understood Chen Xuanli's fear of suspicion and suspicion, so he suggested that there was no need to make a big fuss, and only send two or three people to quietly move the Son of Heaven to a safe place. In this way, it not only protects the son of heaven, but also does not have to arouse suspicion. Chen Xuanli stared at Yuan Zai, this guy is really bold, in and out of his words, isn't he implying that as long as the Son of Heaven is safe, others will die? There are also the kings of the clan, the ministers of the five grades and above, and the envoys of all the countries who come to worship, these people are in the mouth of Yuan Zai, and they die when they die? But Chen Xuanli thought about it carefully, but he couldn't think of a more appropriate way.
After a moment of silence, Chen Xuanli finally made up his mind. The two people from the Jing'an Division issued the same warning, no matter whether there was a threat of fire and thunder in the light tower, the Son of Heaven was not suitable to stay in the diligent government building.
He immediately summoned his subordinates and ordered the gates of Xingqing Palace to be closed to guard against possible attacks, and then took off his helmet: "I will go to see the Son of Heaven in person." "During duty, it is not appropriate to remove his armor, but if he wears a general's helmet to break into the Spring Banquet, it is too eye-catching.
Yuan Zai arched his hand and said: "Then the lower official will leave......"
"You come with me." Chen Xuanli said coldly. For some reason, he didn't like this guy who spoke very reasonably. Yuan Zai's face changed a few times: "No, no, the rank of the lower officials is too low, and it is against the court to go upstairs rashly." β
"You don't have to go upstairs, but you have to stay with me." Chen Xuanli insisted. He didn't have time to verify Wonjae's identity and information, so he simply took it with him, and if anything went wrong, he could solve it on the spot.
Yuan Zai is full of helplessness on the surface, but in fact, he is happy in his heart. He calculated Chen Xuanli's cautious personality and made a move to "retreat as advance". As long as he follows Chen Xuanli, he will definitely have the opportunity to meet the saint and leave an impression on his old man's heart-this is a God-given opportunity that cannot be bought no matter how much money is spent.
Of course, this time, the risk is also very great, and the light tower will explode at some point. But Yuan Zai decided to take a risk, didn't he seek wealth and wealth in danger?
Chen Xuanli was not interested in Yuan Zai's thoughts, he stood at the head of the city and looked in the direction of the square. The lantern tower had turned into a huge torch, radiating heat and light, and its majesty could be felt even here at the Jinming Gate. The scorching fire seemed to be very close to a certain limit. By this time, everyone was starting to feel that something was wrong.
No matter how luxurious the Shangyuan Lantern Tower is, it will not burn to this extent.
Chen Xuanli frowned tightly and shouted: "Go!" He hurriedly went down the city tower with Yuan Zai and a few guards.
Zhang Xiaojing half-leaned in front of the wooden platform, staring blankly at the surrounding wall of fire gradually moving towards him.
Everything that can be done has been done; The passage that you want to escape has also been swallowed by tongues of fire, and it is impossible to go downstairs. Exhausted of all options, he could only sit and wait for the last moment to come.
It is said that a person can see a look back on his life at the moment before he dies. But what flashed in front of Zhang Xiaojing's eyes were faces. Xiao Gui's, Wen Wuji's, the brothers of the Eighth Regiment, Li Mi's, Xu Bin's, Yao Runeng's, Yisi's, Tanqi's, and Wenran'...... Every face seemed to say something to him, but they couldn't last long, and they soon burst into flames.
Zhang Xiaojing stared intently for a long time before he could barely make out what they wanted to say - in fact, there was only one sentence: Do you regret it? Do you regret it? Do you regret it?
This is a very acute question. Zhang Xiaojing closed his eyes, and the scene of himself walking out of death row at the middle of the morning yesterday morning came to mind. If you could do it all over again, would you make the same choice?
Zhang Xiaojing smiled, he moved his chapped lips, and slowly spit out two words: "No regrets." β
He does not regret the choice he made today, not for a certain emperor or a certain court, but for this Chang'an City and many ordinary people living in it.
Zhang Xiaojing just felt that there were still too many regrets: he failed to stop this conspiracy and betrayed Li Sicheng's trust; I didn't see it, and I was safe and sound; There is no chance that those who have bullied the veterans of the Eighth Regiment will get their due retribution; also involved Xu Bin, Yao Runeng and Is...... By the way, I'm also very sorry for Tan Qi, I was ashamed to promise to solve this matter, but it ended up in such a field, I don't know what happened to her now?
Thinking of this, a graceful and vague figure appeared in his pupils, Zhang Xiaojing sighed helplessly, shook his head, and the figure immediately dissipated.
Looking back on what he did that day, Zhang Xiaojing felt that he had actually made a lot of low-level mistakes. If he had been given another chance, maybe the situation would have been completely different. If you can arrive at Changmingfang early, there will be no chance of transporting the fierce fire oil out; If you can catch the fish intestines in Pingkangfang, you can expose the mayfly's plan earlier; If the fierce fire mine installed on the transfer plane is not damaged and detonates smoothly, there will be no need for those troubles later......
Zhang Xiaojing thought in a daze in the fire, and his eyelids suddenly jumped. He wondered what was wrong with him. Is it baked by the heat? So I rewound my thoughts and went through it again, and sure enough, my eyelids jumped again.
Repeatedly, he opened his eyes suddenly, and the whole person stood up with the wooden platform. The vitality that had gradually dissipated suddenly gathered back.
That's right! If the fierce fire thunder seal is damaged, it is vented! It won't explode! No matter how big or small, it makes sense!
Mao Shun wanted to blow up the turning point, just because he wanted to use the deflection angle to crush the bottom of Tianshu and drain the stone fat. Although there is no turning point to use now, Tianshu is spinning endlessly next to it - it is bamboo, and with the power of humans, even if it can't be crushed, it can leave a few knife cuts on the outer wall, allowing the stone grease to leak out.
Zhang Xiaojing didn't calculate how many openings had to be split and how much stone grease had to be lost in order to make this huge fierce fire thunder completely lose its internal strength. He just realized this possibility and didn't want to die with regrets, so he came to make a last stand.
At the thought of hope, Zhang Xiaojing burst out with vitality again. He glanced left and right, and saw that in the basket near the wooden platform, tools were thrown. This is what the grasshopper craftsmen abandoned here after installing the unicorn arm. Zhang Xiaojing picked up a few axes from the basket, the handle of the axe was already so hot that he could barely hold it.
Zhang Xiaojing grabbed these axes, turned around and rushed to Tianshu. The Celestial Pivot was still rattling, as if there was nothing in the world worth stopping. The blazing firelight around illuminated the potted blue pivot clearly.
Tianshu is the same height as the lamp tower, and it is impossible to have such a tall bamboo in the world. When Mao Shun was designing, he connected the sections of hard bamboo, and the joints were fixed with cast iron sleeves. If there's any weakness in it, it's near the iron jacket.
Zhang Xiaojing was unceremonious, and swung a big axe and slashed hard. It's a pity that the surface of Tianshu has been hardened, and the axe blade only leaves a shallow white mark. Zhang Xiaojing split it again, and then he barely opened a small crack, and black stone grease oozed out, like blood flowing out of a person's injury. Zhang Xiaojing swung the axe for the third time and tried his best to chop in the same place, only then did he cut a big hole.
Thick, viscous black grease erupted from the narrow slit like a fountain poured over a wooden wheel. At this time, the temperature outside was already very high, and as soon as the stone grease was sprayed on the surface of the wooden wheel, it immediately hula and burned into a piece. In a few moments, the wooden wheel floor had completely burned into a fire wheel.
Zhang Xiaojing knew that this was not enough. For Tianshu, who is almost the same height as the light tower, this wound is not enough to drain the strength of the medicine. He still needs to cut more holes and leak more grease.
But at this time, the wooden wheel has been sprayed with stone grease and cannot be settled. Zhang Xiaojing had no choice but to pick up the axe and continue to climb up along the remaining scaffolding. With each climb, he swung his axe and slashed wildly until he made a large hole in the spitting of stone fat, and then continued to ascend.
These spewed out of the stone grease will make the inside of the lamp tower burn even more frantically, which in turn will prompt the Tianshu to explode faster. Zhang Xiaojing is not only racing against time, but also helping his opponent accelerate during the run. So, in the midst of the blazing Hellfire of the Lamphouse, a resolute figure was walking through the flames and smoke. Again and again, he rushed close to the Heavenly Pivot Pillar, trying his best to fight for the almost negligible possibility.
The fire grew stronger and stronger, and the red flames were like weeds after spring, growing everywhere, and the temperature inside the building was as hot as an oven comparable to that of a mutton cake. Zhang Xiaojing's eyebrows were quickly burned, his scalp was burned to the point that he was almost on fire, his upper and lower clothes were powerless to resist, and they turned into holes one after another, and his whole body was burned by flames - especially his back, he had just been burned once in Jing'an Division before, and it was even more painful to feel the high temperature at this time.
But Zhang Xiaojing's movements did not stop at all. He deftly jumped between the bamboo and the wooden frame, and from time to time he pounced next to Tianshu and slashed with his axe. Everywhere he went, he left behind black fountains, making the flames below even louder.
Bang bang! Click! Wow β
There was another opening on the Tianshu, and black oil was sprayed.
Zhang Xiaojing didn't know how many openings had been broken, let alone how many catties of stone grease had been spewed out, he just relied on his last breath, hoping to reduce the harm of the explosion of the lamphouse as much as possible before he died completely. He threw away the axe, which had been curled, and pulled the last one from his waist.
He looked up, trying to discern the path up. The height of this area is close to the top of the light tower, and the flames have not spread for the time being, but the smoke is extremely thick. The smoke of the entire lantern tower gathered here and drifted towards the sky. Zhang Xiaojing's one eye was so blood-red that he could barely breathe, so he could only cough loudly and climb up.
He kicked under his feet, and soon climbed another level. This floor is narrower than the space below, only the size of an ordinary person's patio, except for the canopy, there are only a few wooden frames staggered inside, and there are no hanging ropes and suspension bridges. Zhang Xiaojing barely looked around, the smoke was billowing and he couldn't see anything.
Further up, there seems to be no way out. Zhang Xiaojing could feel that his body was shaking slightly. No, it's not the body, it's the whole space shaking, and it's quite large. He reached forward with his left hand and touched the Tianshu, and found that he had actually touched the top.
It turned out that Zhang Xiaojing had climbed to the top of the lantern tower, and Tianshu would no longer extend upwards when he arrived here, and the top was inlaid with a circle of copper convex floating seals. It is topped by a wooden span made of a sinister shape, on which a tongue-shaped pick hangs diagonally. When the pivot is activated, the moving house of lights passes under the stilt span and causes the paddle to open the roof dendrobium and automatically light the candle.
Zhang Xiaojing swung his axe, slashed at the top of Tianshu a few times, first smashed the copper Dan seal hard, and then chiseled out a hole. At this height, even if there is still stone grease in the heavenly hub, it is impossible to flow out. Zhang Xiaojing did this mainly to make his heart feel at ease, as if he had completed a necessary ritual.
After doing all this, Zhang Xiaojing threw the axe far downstairs, feeling that his whole body was almost hot. With the last of his strength, he climbed onto the Straddle Frame, leaned his back against the paddle, and collapsed to the ground.
This time it's really over. He's done everything he can, and it's up to providence.
The Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower is more than 150 feet high, and staying at the top of it, you can overlook the entire Chang'an City. Unfortunately, it was night, and there was smoke all around, so I couldn't see anything. Zhang Xiaojing felt very regretful, it was rare to climb so high, and he still couldn't take a last look at the city he tried his best to protect.
The surrounding smoke and flames are thick, and the main body of the lamp tower below has been completely reduced to a sea of fire, and the scorching breath is endless. At this time, the top of the lamp tower is the only pure land that has not been completely occupied by the flames. Zhang Xiaojing leaned softly against the paddle under the straddle frame, tilting his head, but his heart was calm.
Nineteen years ago, he was also leaning on the flagpole of Beacon City, quietly waiting for the coming end. Nineteen years later, fate is repeated. Only this time, there will be no more reinforcements.
Zhang Xiaojing thought so dazedly, and suddenly felt the light tower under him seem to tremble slightly, and then let out a low roar.
The dragon pond of Xingqing Palace is an extremely special scenery in Chang'an City.
As early as the year of the Empress Wu, this is just an ordinary square in Wannian County, called Longqing Fang. There is a well in Longqingfang, which suddenly gushes out for no reason, and the clear water is crazy, flooding several acres of land overnight, and it has become a large area of water. At sunrise, there is often fog rising and the scenery is extremely beautiful. The people of Chang'an City believe that this is a good place for feng shui, and there are even private rumors in the market that the water is a dragon qi. As a result, members of the Li royal family moved to live next to this piece of water, including the current saint Li Longji.
Later, the Son of Heaven practiced Zuo and renamed Longqing Pond as Longchi to show the omen of Longxing. At this moment, the clansmen next to Longchi did not dare to live for a long time, and they sacrificed their mansions one after another. The Son of Heaven took the dragon pool as the core, annexed several squares, and built the Xingqing Palace. And the dragon pond because of the dip of the emperor, many times expanded, formed a very wide lake, the smoke and waves are vast, feasible long boats to draw boats, there are countless pavilions along the coast, peonies, lotuses, weeping willows are planted all over, and a lot of birds are raised.
Longchi Lakeside, that is, the diligent government building, calyx Xianghui building, each other is only more than 100 steps apart. At this time, the lights on the main floor of the diligent government are brilliant, and the banquet is in full swing. On the other hand, there are only a few lanterns hanging on the shore such as the Agarwood Pavilion and the Dragon Pavilion, and most of the lake is dark and quiet.
A red-crowned crane stands on a rockery in the middle of the lake, hides its head in its wings, and sleeps deeply. Suddenly, it jerked its long neck and looked around warily. It was dark all around, and there was nothing out of the ordeal. But the crane shook its feathers uneasily, and still flapped its wings and flew away from the water.
Click.
Just where the crane had just landed, a stone on the rockery loosened. These stones are all strange stones found in the depths of Jungnam Mountain, with different shapes, and they are stacked together by craftsmen at clever angles, and they are not firmly connected to each other. After a short time, the stone moved again, and it was pushed away.
A black hole was exposed on the rockery, and Xiao Gui, who was wet all over, came out of the hole, and the eyes on both sides of the hooked nose were full of excitement. This is Xingqing Palace, the core of the Tang Dynasty and the hub of Chang'an, and there are very few people who are lucky enough to enter here, but now he is in it.
The rockery is very close to the shore, and Xiao Gui cautiously crouches on the side of the mountain, looking around. There was no forbidden army in this area, and Long Wujun's attention was all on the perimeter of the Qinzheng Building, the South Square, and the Xingqing Palace, and no one would pay special attention to the wide and unimportant place of Longchi.
After Xiao Gui confirmed that it was safe, he learned a low cricket cry at the black hole. Soon, more than two dozen elite soldiers emerged from the black hole. They were all dressed in tight-fitting fish skins and water, with an oilcloth bag on their heads, and their bodies were full of murderous aura.
In order to facilitate the power operation of the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower, Mao Shun led the water source from the Daozheng Fang to the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower, but with such a large amount of water, it was necessary to find a place to drain it. It is too cumbersome to build a separate drainage channel, and it is the best option to drain it directly into the dragon pond. The dragon pond is deep and wide, and it can accommodate this amount of water.
For the Son of Heaven, he was happy to see the thickening of the water potential of the Dragon Pond, so the project was passed. Although Long Wujun was a senior guard, they had formed a mindset, and their eyes were only staring at the dry part of the porch, but they had no idea that this drainage channel that went deep into the inner part of the country was actually used by grasshoppers.
Xiao Gui led the two dozen people into the lake, swam a dozen steps with an oilcloth bag high, and then stepped onto the cobblestone shore. The pebbles are of average size, and it takes a lot of work to pick them up. Xiao Gui snorted twice, and found a hidden clearing between a few willows and bushes.
More than 20 people took off their water bunkers one after another, opened the oilcloth bag, and took out the crossbow machine parts and sharp blades inside. In the quiet willow forest, there was a sound of clattering assembly, but no one spoke.
Xiao Gui was the first to assemble it, he lifted the crossbow machine, aimed it at the willow tree in front of him, and the crossbow arrow was driven straight into the trunk of the tree, leaving only the wing tail outside. Xiao Gui nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the spring has not been immersed in water and failed. Soon they will see the Son of Heaven, and it would be rude if something went wrong with the crossbow machine.
He was ready to stop, walked to the edge of the bushes, lifted the willow branches and looked south. Looking beyond the city walls, one could see that the towering lighthouse had been transformed into a giant torch, and flames were rising from every part of it. The twenty-four balls of fire were still spinning. Master Mao Shun's handwriting is durable and extraordinary.
The plan is going well, and it is believed that the fish intestines have also been blown up. It's a pity that I don't know where Zhang Xiaojing is now, and whether he has safely withdrawn to the Water Palace. However, this thought only stayed in Xiao Gui's mind for a moment. Now that he is in the Xingqing Palace, he is about to do something big that no one has ever done before, and he must focus and leave all his worries behind.
"Big head, let me show you, how I avenged Wen Wuji." Xiao Gui muttered to himself.
At this time, the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower let out a low roar, and it seemed that something was bursting from the inside. "Here we go!" Xiao Gui's eyes widened and he looked forward to it. The subordinates around him also huddled around the clearing, holding their breath and looking into the distance.
After a few flicks of his fingers, I saw a ball of light ten times more dazzling than the surrounding flames, bursting from the middle of the light tower. The furious Que Lehodo stretched his limbs from the inside, stretched out his huge hand, and the entire lamp tower was instantly torn into two pieces, and the huge body twisted into a shocking shape in mid-air, and the skeleton was faintly cracked. The sky above Xingqing Palace is surging. The sound of thunderbolts swept around, and countless frightened birds chirped on the surface of Longchi Lake, and countless sleeping birds rose into the air.
But at this time, no one will look at them. At the fracture of the lamp tower, the rolling red flames and smoke clouds radiated wildly to all sides, as bright as the first bloom of peonies, and as bright as the vermilion bird. In just an instant, it engulfed the adjacent Diligent Government Building, Calyx Xianghui Building and South Square.
At this moment, Chang'an City suddenly changed from hustle and bustle to dead silence. Whether it is the lantern-watching people in Yanshoufang, the nobles who have dinner in the Yuanyou Paradise, the monks and Taoist believers who practice affairs in the ancestral halls, the Hu merchants who drink and sing and dance in the East Market, or the officials of the Jing'an Division who are busy in Guangdefang, they all raised their heads in an instant. The night sky, which was originally pitch black, was pierced by a sudden light. Then the whole city seemed to be seized by the demon, and every light was dimmed at the same time.
Xiao Gui grabbed Liu Shao tightly, trembling with excitement. After so much hard work, the grasshoppers finally shook the towering tree. The pain he endured back then should be tasted by those guys.
But he suddenly realized that something didn't seem right! The Tianshu of the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower really exploded, but the power of the explosion was far smaller than Xiao Gui expected.
You must know that the most important means of killing in Quelehodo is not fire, but the impact of an instant burst, which is formless and massless, but enough to destroy the strongest city walls. According to the previous calculations, the amount of stone grease would cause the lamp tower to crack up and down, and the impact would be enough to raze the adjacent diligent government building to the ground. But now, the Taishang Xuanyuan Lantern Tower was just blown up by the waist. It seems that the fireworks are rolling, and the momentum is great, but the lethality is greatly reduced.
This method of explosion shows that the Tianshu explosion was not complete, and only detonated the middle section. Xiao Gui's eyes widened, and he saw that in the smoke, the tall figure of the diligent government building was still there. It was not lightly blown up, but the main structure remained unmoved.
"Damn, did you miscalculate?" Xiao Gui gritted his teeth and broke the willow branch in his hand.
After a while, the upper half of the structure of the lamp tower let out a mournful cry that was compressed to the limit, completely detached from the deformed base, and poured diagonally towards the Xingqing Palace. This half of the burning tall building was more than seventy feet high, with an unparalleled sense of oppression, and it fell down from a high place in a roar, which was not much better than the top of Mount Tai.
The location directly opposite it is the diligent government building. The wide eaves rest on the ridge of the mountain, standing proudly to meet the greatest challenge since its construction. This is a duel between two giants, mortals can only wait and see, but it is impossible to save the edifice from collapse.
The upper half of the lamp tower smashed on the straight ridge of the diligent government building without hesitation, making a huge collision sound, and for a while sawdust flew and Uva collapsed. After all, the lantern tower was made of bamboo and wood, and it was burned soft by the fire, and it collapsed the moment it collided with the masonry building. The main body of the diligent government building is still standing uprightβbut the lighthouse has not failed completely, and its fragments and wreckage, accompanied by countless flames, scattered in all directions, falling on the beams and columns, scattered into the rafters, and splashed into every gap between the tiles.
If it is not rescued, I am afraid that the diligent government building will soon become a hell for Zhurong.
"Do it!"
Xiao Gui threw the willow branch and stepped out of the clearing, his eyes full of fierce light. Although it failed to achieve the expected effect, it was smashed like this, and I am afraid that the diligent government building would have become a mess. I'm afraid that Long Wujun hasn't figured out what happened yet, this is when Xingqing Palace's defenses are the weakest.
He raised his hand, stretched out his index finger a little to that side, and clenched his fist again. The soldiers behind him stood up in unison, leveled the crossbow machine, and followed closely behind.
The last and most ferocious attack of the mayfly begins.
Even across the high Leyou Plain, a loud noise from the Xingqing Palace could be heard in the East Palace Medicine Garden. Li Mi's face was pale, his body shook, and he could barely stand.
This voice means that Zhang Xiaojing has finally failed, that is to say, the diligent government building may have been swallowed by Que Lehodo, and the fate of the people in the building is unknown. If Chen Xuanli didn't withdraw the Son of Heaven in time, a series of terrible consequences would ensue, making Li Yu's brain almost burst out blood.
The curtain of the four-looking car slowly lifted, revealing a slightly panicked face. He looked over to the side of the explosion, seemingly overwhelmed.
"Prince!" Li Mi stepped forward and shouted extremely rudely.
"Changyuan?" Li Heng's first reaction was actually surprise. He jumped down from the car, hugged Li Mi at once, and shouted excitedly, "You are really still alive!! β
Li Mi was very surprised by the prince's reaction. He originally expected Li Heng to react when he saw him, either guilt, indifference, or pride in succeeding in his plan, but he really didn't expect such a reaction. With so many years of friendship between the two, he can feel that the prince's joy is sincere and not pretentious.
This is not like the emotions of a prince who just connived at the thief to blow up his father. You know, theoretically, he is now the Son of Heaven now.
Li Mi pushed Li Heng away, took a step back, and knelt down on one leg: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has something unclear." Li Heng stretched out his hands to hold him with a smile on his face, but Li Yu stubbornly maintained his original posture.
"Why did the prince leave the banquet in a hurry?" Li Mi raised his head and asked.
When Li Heng heard this question, he looked confused: "Of course I'm here to find Changyuan you!" β
"Huh?"
Another unexpected answer. Li Mi frowned and stared at Li Heng. Li Heng knew that once Li Mi had any opinions, he would have such an expression. He became nervous and had to explain.
Previously, Tan Qi told Li Heng that Jing'an Si had been attacked and Li Mi had been taken captive, which made him restless at the Spring Banquet. Later, Tan Qi also brought this matter to the Son of Heaven, causing him to be reprimanded by his father. It didn't take long for him to receive a secret letter, which was not sent by anyone, but after a song "Dance of Neon Clothes and Feathers", he was pressed under the glass jar by someone for some reason.
The letter said that they were grasshoppers, and now they were in control of Li Mi's life, and if the prince didn't believe it, he could look at it from the railing.
Hearing this, Li Mi suddenly realized why Xiao Gui escorted him to the lamp house and stood for a while, and it was actually for the prince to see. He remembered that the lamphouses on both sides were lit at that time, not for testing, but to make it easier for the prince to distinguish his appearance.
"And then?"
"I'm sure that after you fall into their hands, I don't have the heart to stay at the banquet anymore, and I want to save you. But I threw a rat bogey, for fear that I would chase you too hard and let you be poisoned. At this time, the second letter appeared out of thin air. Li Heng said, "The letter said that I must go to the East Palace Medicine Garden without delay. There will be instructions for me to do things in exchange for your life. He also warned me that if you tell someone, you will die. β
"In other words, did His Highness leave the Spring Banquet in a hurry for the sake of the minister's life, and not for other reasons?"
"Of course!" Li Heng replied without hesitation, "Changyuan, you are going to lose your life, the spring banquet is not important at all." It doesn't matter how the father blames. β
His expression didn't seem to be fake, and he could tell from the tone of his voice that he didn't even know what that noise meant.
Li Mi's heart warmed slightly, he, a childhood playmate, was not the kind of ruthless person after all. But more questions have emerged one after another, if what Li Heng said is true, then what is Xiao Gui's intention to do this? went to great lengths to kidnap Li Mi, just to transfer Li Heng from the diligent government affairs building? And judging from Li Heng's description, at least one of the mayflies' mole infiltrated the diligent government building, who is he or she?
Do the mayflies have a follow-up conspiracy?
Li Mi's mood that had just relaxed tightened again. Li Heng stared at Li Mi, saw that his face was cloudy, and asked what was going on. Li Mi opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer.
What to say? The lamp tower exploded, the diligent government building was destroyed, your father has been killed, and you are now the son of the Tang Dynasty?
Things have taken to the worst, and now the whole city is in chaos, and it is very dangerous. Before figuring out the situation, Li Mi didn't dare to jump to conclusions. This prince is too soft and easily emotional, and it is impossible to predict how he will react when he hears this shocking news.
At this extraordinary time, one wrong step may be doomed.
In the face of this unprecedented disaster, some people may cry or have no master, but Li Mi will not. Now that Quelehodo has happened, no matter how much you regret and shock, you can't reverse the time, and the most important thing now is what to do next.
Li Mi tried to drive the panic and anger out of his mind and calm himself down.
"Is the letter still there?"
"Yes." Li Heng handed over the two letters, and Li Mi took them and looked at them briefly.
Li Mi took the letter into his arms and said to Li Heng: "Your Highness, do you know what the grasshopper wants you to do in the East Palace Medicine Garden?" β
Li Heng shook his head: "I don't know yet, I just arrived here, and you came-hey, but since Changyuan you are out of danger, wouldn't I not have to be coerced to do things for them?" β
Li Mi smiled slightly bitterly: "I'm afraid they never expected to let you do things, prince." β
"Huh?"
"Transferring His Highness to the main office of the government affairs building is their greatest purpose." When Li Mi said this, he stood for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and then asked hurriedly, "Besides His Highness, who else has left the Shangyuan Spring Banquet?" β
Li Heng thought for a long time and shook his head. There were too many people at the Spring Banquet, and he left in a hurry, and he had no time to count who was absent. Li Mi frowned in disappointment, and looked towards Le Youyuan with a cold gaze, trying to pass through the hills and see through the Xingqing Palace on the other side.
At this time, the coachman who looked at the carriage timidly poked his head out: "Humble ...... The lowly probably knows. Li Heng glared at him dissatisfiedly: "Shangyuan Spring Banquet, no one below the fifth grade is eligible to participate, how do you know?" Li Yu stopped Li Heng: "Tell me about it?" The coachman clasped his hands and winced: "The lowly position is just speculation, speculation. β
"But it doesn't hurt to say it, the prince won't blame." Li Mi said. The coachman looked at Li Heng, and Li Heng snorted coldly, agreeing with Li Yu's statement. The coachman stammered.
It is forbidden to ride or ride in a car in Xingqing Palace, so when people attending the banquet arrive at Jinming Gate, they all enter on foot. The cattle and horses they rode were all parked in an open space not far from Xingqing Palace. The coachman will be on standby throughout the feast.
The status of the four cars is very high, there is a special area to park, and the nearby are all the kings, the carriages and horses of the three grades or more, densely parked together. Around the beginning of Yin, the coachman received an order that the prince was about to leave, and hurriedly set up a car to leave. He remembered that there was a magnificent seven-incense cart in front of the passage, and he had to let it move before he could get out. When he looked up, he didn't know when the car was gone, and he was quite happy because he had saved a lot of toss.
"Whose family is that Qixiang car?" Li Mi asked.
"It's Li Xiang's, his family likes this kind of extravagant stuff the most." Coachmen have their own circles, who has what kind of cart, what kind of horses, what kind of decoration style, for all of them, they are all familiar with these things.
Before the coachman finished speaking, Li Mi had already jumped back on the horse and said to Li Heng word by word: "Please rest here for a while, remember, from now on, don't go anywhere, don't listen to anyone, except for the minister himself." β
Li Heng couldn't help but be taken aback when he heard his extremely serious tone, and hurriedly asked him where he was going. Li Mi rode on a horse, his eyes were deep:
"Yasuyasu Division."
