On the square outside the noon gate.

The high platform of the sacrifice to the sky who tied up people, the Jin Wuwei who surrounded it, the people who stretched their necks to watch, and the vendors who took the opportunity to peddle melon seeds, bean flour cakes, and sugar ears, were very lively.

They crowded into the crowd and were quickly overwhelmed. He squinted at the sun in the sky, and if they were right, the eclipse would take place.

The execution was at noon, whether or not the shopkeeper Su could be saved depends on whether the empty door will be opened during the solar eclipse.

He had never been so eager to see the present day as he had ever been.

The black yarn of the buckwheat clothes was not far from them, followed by Haiying and several servants in the house. They are responsible for giving the withdrawn buckwheat and squeezing out a passage.

On the way from Tongzhou to the capital, there was also a cart and five horses. The puller who pulled the cart was brought back from Erie, and his legs were thick and powerful. At this time, it was pulling an empty car, and it was running fast.

As soon as Hu Yanjin got off the boat, he received Lin Longfeng's news: July 28, at midnight, outside the noon gate, the sun was eclipsed.

There is still an hour.

Without saying a word, they got into the horses and carriages prepared by Mi Qing, and hurried to the capital.

Soon, Hu Yanjin saw the notice posted at the gate of the city: Hua Youcai will be burned at the stake outside the noon gate at three o'clock today.

The master has been arrested! At this time, it has entered the time of the sun, and according to what the master said to them before, the solar eclipse will occur in the time of the sun.

After entering the city, Hu Yanjin changed into a silver mask of Xuanyi, and the rest dressed up as usual.

"Young family master, it's too dangerous for you to go up to the altar alone, Yu Linwei must have aimed at that place, there is no cover at all, I will go up with you."

Li He has followed Hu Yanjin for two years, and he also feels a little bit about the emperor's temperament: if the emperor does this with great fanfare, he will definitely be thoughtful.

The reason why the emperor chose the place of Wumen is because there is a high palace wall next to it, which is convenient for archers to defend themselves on the palace wall.

Hu Yanjin said with a smile: "You are creating a riot below, it is enough to cover our retreat, and God will cover me at that time." ”

Well? Li He didn't know about the solar eclipse, and Hu Yanjin gave them a brief explanation. Mi Qing and Mi Lei had seen a solar eclipse with their own eyes, and they were still young at the time, and they were frightened by adults.

"In that case, we're improvised below. One goal, grab people, retreat! After Mi Qing finished speaking, they got out of the carriage and blended into the crowd outside the noon gate.

The closer to noon, the more people watched the excitement, and the onlookers were ring-shaped, and Hu Yanjin couldn't see the flower buckwheat and flower wealth on the opposite side from this angle.

The people around them were all waiting for the fire to be lit, but this group of people was nervously waiting for the tengu to eat the sun.

Hu Yanjin only wore a hat and did not wear a mask. He moved to the side, looking for an angle from which to jump onto the altar, when suddenly he saw a man with a black veil on the other side......

Buckwheat?

That's right, the person behind the diagonal is Haeyoung!

It's not good, it looks like Hua Buckwheat is also dressed up in this way, she wants to go to the altar!

Li He saw Hu Yanjin turning around to look for them, and hurriedly squeezed over: "What's wrong?" ”

"Listen, Ah Qiao is going up, you go to Haiying's side immediately, he is covering, you cover her with all your might. I go in the opposite direction to get their attention! ”

"This ...... All right! You pay attention to safety, see you in the Song Mansion! ”

As soon as Li He greeted a few of them, the sunlight suddenly began to dim.

At first, it seemed like there was shade of trees, but there was not even a single grass in the square, where did the shade come from? There was an uproar in the crowd:

"Oh no, the heavens are going to be angry!"

Hua Youcai, Hua Qiao, and Hua Rong had already stood on the side closest to the staircase of the altar, and he told Hua Qiao that if the empty door was opened above, then he would have to go up too.

He squinted his eyes and glanced at the sky, the shadows grew larger and larger, but behind the shadows, a black vortex began to form. century

The people on the ground began to feel it, too, like a whirlwind in winter, and the ground shook with it.

At first, there was a shock, and everyone didn't know why, but when there was another violent shock, even the altar began to shake, and everyone began to scream and crowd.

"Your Majesty! Oh no, there's an earthquake! Get out of the walls and take refuge below! ”

The emperor, who was standing on the city wall and preparing to watch the worship of the heavens, was surrounded by ministers and went down the palace wall.

"Let's go! That should be the sliding door. ”

Hua Buckwheat took the lead, and Hua Youcai and Hua Rong also went to the altar together. At this time, the total solar eclipse darkened the heavens and the earth, but in the depths of the whirlpool above, a dazzling golden light appeared.

"There is a rich brother! I thought I wouldn't see you again! Su Fu saw that several of them were mixed with joy and sorrow, and Hua Qiao flicked away the dagger and cut the rope that bound him.

"Hua Qiao, you take Hua Rong away, you are not modern, I don't know if you can pass. After we left, Su Fu and Hua Youcai's bodies would not be able to live, and they happened to be burned by fire......"

Hua Qiao had no choice but to pull her younger brother down.

In a moment, the light in the whirlpool expanded, almost spreading to the edge of the whirlpool. At the same time, a "tick-tock" sound appeared in the clouds.

"Tick Tick"

Even the emperor in the square in front of the palace could hear it clearly.

What is this sound? In the sound of the wind, the sound of the ground, and the exclamations of people, it is still so clear.

The flower on the top of the altar was even more anxious, and as the total solar eclipse ended, the golden light of that vortex began to weaken after reaching its peak.

But the two of them were clearly standing in the golden light, but there was no change.

"Tick Tick"

"What is this sound? Time bomb? Su Fu asked nervously.

"No, it's the sound of the clock...... Clock...... Wristwatch! My watch! Hua Youcai suddenly realized that the connection between the seven stars and the solar eclipse is time.

He shouted downward, "Throw Daddy's watch up!" ”

Before leaving, he gave the watch that was not leaving to Hua Qiao, and Hua Qiao hurriedly took out the watch, but the wind was strong, and I was afraid that I would lose my head if I threw it.

Hua Rong grabbed his watch, took three steps and ran to the altar.

The moment he handed the watch into Hua Youcai's hand, the golden light in the whirlpool poured down and sprinkled on the three people.

The golden light lit the altar and disappeared in an instant, the sun was released from the shadows, and the earthquake stopped, except for the gradually burning altar, as if nothing had happened.

"Ah Rong!"

Hua Qiao didn't see her brother coming down, she was a little flustered, and just wanted to rush up, but the burning pyre collapsed, and the temporary wooden staircase was gone.

"You go quickly, Li He, they are waiting for you over there, I'll go up to find Ah Rong!"

It's Huyanjin!

Hua Qiao calmed down, held Hu Yanjin's outstretched big hand and nodded. She lowered her head and squeezed into the crowd, while Hu Yanjin stepped on the falling wood and went to the altar.

"Hua Rong!"

Hu Yanjin saw Hua Rong who fell to the ground at a glance, and reached over, Hua Rong was still breathing.

Looking at the side, there were two charred corpses upside down, and when they blew, they turned into black ash and flew away.

He didn't care about thinking so much, so he picked up Hua Rong and jumped down. Under the sun, Yu Linwei on the head of the palace wall could see it clearly, and the people below also shouted:

"Silver-faced Lang-kun! The silver-faced Langjun went up to save people! ”
