Chapter 408: A Good Fire (1)
Later in history, many people wonder how the arson broke through the defenses and entered the palace.
For he barely alarmed anyone, and not only that, but he swaggered and set fires in several places, and after setting the fires, no one was caught.
Before this, Guan Kuo had sneaked into the palace, but he didn't dare to be so lucky not to be found if he set fire to cause huge turmoil several times in a row.
Maybe it's not luck, but really ability.
The smoke is billowing and the fire is soaring to the sky, and there is a big chaos in the palace, of course, most of the chaos is the Southern Wu people who are guarding, because there are very few Northern Tang people who are still in the palace today.
The one in the Changliu Palace is one of them.
She stood at the gate of the palace, looking at the firelight in the distance, her phoenix eyes widened, as if she was surprised, but then she was gloomy.
More often than not, she had a vague sense that something big was happening.
She had been under house arrest in the Changliu Palace for so long, and what she was waiting for seemed to be a vast and magnificent feast.
In the face of such a large-scale arson, those Nanwu people who were blocking the Changliu Palace should feel very shocked, but out of duty, they could not leave here.
The fire in the palace complex changed the color of the sky, almost illuminating the night, and it still looked a little magnificent.
"Your Royal Highness, you better stay here and don't have any unrealistic illusions." A general came to the palace gate on purpose, and then said in a slightly cold voice, his face was very unsightly.
He could suspect that these fires might have something to do with Li Xiyun, or with Li Zenan, or anyone else in the palace.
Li Xiyun smiled lightly, the corners of her lips hooked, full of mockery.
"Anything I fantasize about, is it a mistake, just like you have never fantasized about something that is against morality?"
The general frowned, said "You're doing it yourself", and left.
Li Xiyun looked at the firelight in the distance and said softly, "Did you do it......"
……
……
It's not Guan Kuo's doing.
As Guan Kuo himself, he knows this very well.
He also wanted to know who set so many fires, whether it was friend or foe, but he felt that this guy was really a little ruthless, the huge palace was the pride of the Northern Tang Dynasty, and it condensed the efforts of countless people, but that person did not hesitate to do it because of his own interests.
When he saw the firelight lit up, he said goodbye to Liu Yinian and Xu Mengshan, carried the two knives, and walked along the long street to the palace.
He was going to go straight in, and now that the palace was in chaos and there was a war outside, it was his best chance.
Many people along the street were watching the fire and watching him.
Outside the Wangxian Gate, the original garrison force was missing a lot, which was probably the reason for going to fight the fire.
At least at this point, Guan Kuo was satisfied with the way the person set the fire.
Today, there are only twenty or thirty people outside the Wangxian Gate.
……
……
"Book that mother, which Zongsang let go, if I get caught, I will definitely be a Bian Xi......"
Wangxianmen, several Nanwu soldiers scolded, now Chang'an City is under attack, the palace is actually on fire again, the heart is messy, but although they are anxious, but they are ordered to watch the Xianmen, dare not derelict their duties, they not only have to beware of some people in the palace to break out, but also to beware of people outside the palace to break in.
In such a season, in a foreign land, even if they are disciplined, they can't help but curse.
Then the scolding suddenly stopped, and several eyes brushed at the young man who came with two knives in the distance.
The cold wind was blowing, and the snow on the ground seemed to condense into ice, but in the light of the distant fire, it was translucent.
He came with a bloody wind, and his whole person exuded a dangerous aura.
"Go one step ahead, die!"
A cold, piercing voice came out of the mouth of an officer-like man, with little emotion.
In extraordinary times, there is really no need to talk nonsense with a person who comes with a knife in a rage.
Guan Kuo didn't stop.
His voice was equally cold and piercing:
"Buddha wants to block me, and those who block me are happy."
He used the Wu language, not a warning, but a very simple to tell the other party. He didn't take it as a warning, he just told the other party the fact - don't stand in my way, those who stand in my way will die.
Under Ji Ruhai's will, these Southern Wu people did not have any kindness towards him, and they did not want to talk to him about any reason.
"Humph!"
With a cold snort, the officer pointed at him with his hand: "Kill!" ”
When this word settled, he suddenly felt a chilling killing intent coming towards him, but the young man in the same place was gone, and he could only see two rays of light, white and red!
