Chapter 156: Fire

The Queen Mother didn't come out for a long time, and she was very happy to watch it at this time, and the sound of admiration kept happening in her mouth, and she said, "Sure enough, the performances outside are more exciting, if these performances are in the palace, they will inevitably be restrained, and there will be no such excitement!" ”

As he was talking, at the end of that round of performances, there were jugglers dressed in unique performance costumes, holding a little monkey in their hands to beg for money, and the Queen Mother saw that the little monkey was clever and likable, and casually rewarded two taels of silver, the juggling

The joy was abnormal, and he thanked the little monkey again and again, and then he left with a thousand thanks.

During the reward, the performer in the middle of the whim, then played a more difficult one, in order to help the fun, who knew that the torch was not well controlled, "poof" fell to the ground, it turned out that this was nothing, but I don't know who poured fire oil on the ground, soon, the fire spread, and the people closest to the performance have become fire people, rolling on the ground.

And the worst thing is the performer, on a wooden table in the middle, the flames are high, and I can't see where the person is......

When the emperor and Huang Xi saw behind him, he hurriedly pulled the two behind him, and the secret guard also appeared immediately, presenting an encirclement, protecting several people in the middle to prevent the fleeing crowd from stampeding and injuring several people.

The Queen Mother said, "What's going on?" How did a good performance become like this? Knowing that it is a torch show, how can there be fire oil around? ”

The emperor's eyes were gloomy, "I'm afraid that this person's target is not just a juggling troupe, at this time the city is full of lanterns and open flames, although this is by the river, but there is plenty of oil, I am afraid that if you are not careful, it will spread throughout the city!" In the dark night, go find the Imperial History of the City Patrol and let him lead people to extinguish the fire quickly! ”

Dark Night? Could it be that the Emperor is calling the brother of the Black Shadow at this time? Listening to him shout like this, Dark Night must be an extremely important guard, otherwise such an important thing would not be handed over to him to do, but Dark Shadow Dark Night...... I'm afraid that the black shadow is still above the dark night, Mu Tianxiang is secretly frightened, I only heard Huang Xi say before, he gave you all the black shadows...... Such a dispensable sentence, now that I think about it, the emperor attaches great importance to her, but it is just ...... Why?

Just as he was thinking, a black shadow swept up from the crowd and soon flew away on the shoulders of the people.

Looking at the panicked crowd, although Mu Tianxiang was surrounded in the middle, the encirclement was very small, and Huang Xi stretched out his hand to protect her.

And behind that, the fire is getting bigger and bigger, and there are screams everywhere in the fire, Mu Tianxiang listened, his heart was pinched together, and the emperor's face was even more unsafe, it can be seen that although there are various rumors about the emperor in the market, the emperor in front of him is indeed a good emperor who loves the people like a son and cares about the world.

Not far away, Princess Zhaodi's voice came, and she shouted from afar, "Mother, brother, ......"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she hurriedly replied, "Don't come and go back and forth!" ”

However, Princess Zhaodi did not follow, and kept squeezing forward, and the emperor said, "Pull her back!" ”

So it was originally just a slight blockade of the secret guard, but at this time, the ordinary human fortress blocked the gap between Princess Zhaodi and the Queen Mother, and could only vaguely hear Princess Zhaodi shouting "Mother, mother...... Don't stand in my way, you minions! ”

Finally, the crowd retreated to the middle gate, and by this time most of the people had already entered, and only a few of them were still running in the distance...... After a while, the fire snake began to devour one by one, and the middle door ...... It was also closed for the first time in history, the iron gate was pushed and closed by several teams of officers and soldiers, and the people who were still outside the door were stained with flames and screamed, and the people who were not stained with flames were desperately pounding on the iron door, so it was not cruel.

Mu Tianxiang looked at this scene, she really couldn't bear it, and the soldiers brought by the imperial history of the city, even if no one was lazy, the action was already very fast, and the buckets of water poured outside the door one after another, but they were like a drop in the bucket, and they were useless!

The Emperor kept frowning, and the people inside the gate kept retreating, and many parts of the middle gate had been burned to ashes, except for most of the iron ones that were still standing strong......

The aura flashed suddenly, Mu Tianxiang suddenly saw the river, why not try to use a bamboo pipe to catch the water, so as to extinguish the fire?

That's what kind of siphon effect?

Mu Tianxiang only has a rough model in her heart, but she doesn't know if it's useful, but ...... Seeing that the fire is getting bigger and bigger, if it can't be extinguished in time, the consequences are worrying!

Having made up her mind, Mu Tianxiang turned to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have a way, I don't know if it's feasible, and ask the emperor to give me a team of people!" ”

The emperor looked at her and said, "It's urgent, if there's any way, try it boldly, I don't blame you!" ”

"Come on, give Miss Mu a detachment!"

The emperor shouted, and then a fat man ran over with sweat and said, "Your Majesty, now the Jinwei patrolling the city are all fighting the fire below, and now only the personal soldiers under General Huo can be mobilized!" ”

"Long-winded! Then give it to her! The Emperor roared.

"Yes, yes, yes." Saying that, the fat man said to the burly man who was about to rush out of the door to put out the fire, "General Liu, here!" ”

Then the burly man came over and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wang?" What's up? ”

"General Liu, this girl said that there is a way to do it, and she wants to try it, why don't you accompany her?"

General Liu's thick eyebrows were about to be threatened, but because the emperor was in front of him, he had to restrain his temper and take a good look at Mu Tianxiang, seeing that it was just a little girl, he wanted to scold at the beginning.

And Mu Tianxiang looked at the big man in front of him, no matter how he looked at it, he felt a little familiar. General Liu? General Huo's own soldiers?

That's Liu Damei's father?

So Mu Tianxiang arched his hand and said, "Lord Liu, the little girl Mu Tianxiang, there is a way to this fire, if it is successful, you can quickly pump the water of the Qingshui River to extinguish the fire, without the soldiers carrying it bucket by bucket, not to mention that the fire is difficult to control, and let them send their names in vain." ”

"You are Mu Tianxiang? Good! In that case, I'll give it a try with you! Dare to ask the girl what can be done? ”

Mu Tianxiang said from memory, "First of all, you need to go to the iron shop in the city to find some thick iron pipes, and then ...... So...... It's ...... like this."

Mu Tianxiang said that it was difficult to remember, but everyone was very excited when they heard it, although it took a long time to prepare, but if it was successful, the fire could be extinguished soon.

The emperor was so excited that he waved his hand, and the others hurriedly followed suit.

Although the memory is not very clear, fortunately, the fire was successfully extinguished in the end, and it was not until the fish belly in the east was white that everyone who had worked all night was able to sit down and rest.

Looking beyond the middle gate, the once prosperous place became a ruined wall, and the emperor put his hands behind his back and said nothing.

And Mu Tianxiang looked not far away, the officers and soldiers were still dealing with the outside, and on top of a pile of ruins in the distance, there was a man standing on it, commanding everyone, but the back was a little familiar......

Mu Tianxiang was thinking about it, when Huang Xi handed her a cloak behind her and wrapped her in it.

Mu Tianxiang turned around and said, "Thank you." ”

At this time, Liu Damei's father was striding towards the man and said, "General, general, General Huo!" He shouted three times in succession, as if in a hurry, and then the man turned around, revealing a sideways face......

He...... He...... 's side face, it's like the person in her memory, no wonder she feels that the back is extremely familiar, she thought it was because she had seen it, but she didn't want to look like Aye!

Could it be that Ah Ye turned out to be the famous General Huo?

Or is it his long-lost brother?

Before Mu Tianxiang had time to think about it, she only felt a surge of blood gushing up her throat, and then her eyes were dark, and she fell backwards, and in a daze, she heard Huang Xi's anxious voice shouting, "Tian Xiang, Tian Xiang, what's wrong with you?" Mu Tianxiang closed her eyes, and the last thought was...... I'm probably tired.

When she woke up, it was already the next day, because of fatigue, she slept hard all day, the emperor ordered someone to send a large number of tonics, followed by an edict, that is, just wait for her to wake up, and make an exception to be named the county lord!

If it was placed in the past, Mu Tianxiang would definitely be happy, and being named the county lord would mean the improvement of his status, which meant that he did not have to grovel to those high-status young ladies, which meant that Wangjun Pavilion looked like a city, but now, ...... The only thing that came to her mind was Yuan Aye, or Huo Lingchuan......

That morning, the person on the ruins, because she was far away, she couldn't see clearly, but that posture and silhouette looked like Yuan Aye!

It's just that the difference is that Ah Ye is just a rural hunter, but that person is wearing a brocade robe and jade robe, and he has an extraordinary momentum, which is by no means comparable to ordinary people!

Mu Tianxiang was a little disappointed in her heart, but with such a good look, it may not be a brother, so the possibility of finding Aye is higher.

At this time, Mu Tianxiang woke up, and it was Huang Xi who was sitting next to the bed, and Luyi, Mu Erya, and Ziling were all standing in the room.

Mu Tianxiang moved, only to find that Huang Xi was holding his wrist to check the pulse.

"Don't move." Huang Xi, who was holding the pulse, was very serious, and even if Mu Tianxiang was full of doubts, he could only hold it until he took it away.

"The fire is stagnant, worrying too much, it's okay, just rest and rest." Huang Xi withdrew his hand.

"That's good! Girl, you've slept all day and night, but you're hungry? I'll bring you porridge!" Green said happily.

"Ziling, the medicine I prescribed must be drunk before eating porridge, you go and let the medicine boy catch it and simmer it slowly." Yellow Creek Road

Seeing that she could also help, Zi Ling hurriedly nodded and went out.

Only Mu Erya, Mu Tianxiang and Huang Xi were left in the house.

Huang Xi cleaned up his medical box and said, "Now there are only three of us left, you can tell me if you have anything!" From Mu Tianxiang's wake-up up, he knew that she had something to ask, not only because of her expression that she wanted to speak, but also because of the man on the ruins he saw in her gaze that morning.

"Yellow Creek! I seem to see Aye! His figure! His side face! It's all so similar! But others ...... Others call him General Huo......"
