Volume 1 Old Dreams Chapter 138 Deadly Night

The moonless winter day is more deserted, leaving only some palace lights and candles. Taoyuan is even more lonely, only a garden of peach branches that have long dried out of the wall, the branches are full of red silk brocade has not been removed. When the ceremony was closed, it was said that the dry branches were unlucky, and this peach tree was the favorite of the peach, so it was paved with red brocade. At this moment, it is like dark blood in the night, flowing gently with the breeze, and flowing into the human spinal cord one by one.

"Quick!" Three or four figures stealthily moved to a gambling wall, and the peach trees in the wall were more than half a high, and the wall obscured their figures.

"Lost!" With a faint command, a fist-sized piece of fire rolled into the wall and landed straight on the withered peach branch. Then there was a second and a third, and the dead tree that was about to bud was engulfed in fire in just a few thoughts.

"Let's go!" Several people left the same way they came, leaving no trace.

The clusters of sparks bloomed in the black night, bewitching and bright. The fire followed the red silk along the dead branches, and instantly swallowed the entrance and exit of the entire courtyard, and it soared into the sky in a posture of dragon flying and phoenix dancing.

"Oh no, no! It's on fire, put out the fire! ”

"Ahhh

"It's on fire, run!"

The screams, cries for help, and crackling instantly filled the courtyard, the gray smoke filled the air, and the dark night was torn alive like silk silk by this monstrous firelight. The trees were all in the main courtyard, and the red silk was much more abundant in the main courtyard. The palace people's faces were pale, but the guards had not arrived for a long time, and it was far from enough to rely on the basin of water scooped by those thin bodies, and they were swallowed by the fire dragon in an instant, leaving not a drop.

"Concubine Peach is inside! Come on! Hurry up and put out the fire! I don't know who shouted, and the people shivered, cold like never before in this smoky heat.

"Not good! Hurry up and put out the fire! The steps of those palace maids were more hurried, and the eunuchs' cries for help were more high-pitched, but no one cared.

A small palace maid walked in a panic until she was in front of the Taihe Hall.

"Who is so bold that he dares to break into the palace!" The long sword in the guard's hand shone coldly under the reflection of the lamp.

"Quick, the slave wants to see the emperor!"

"Leave quickly, the emperor is-"

"Taoyuan is on fire, and the peach concubine is still inside!"

"It's-"

"If there is anything to do with the mother, you can take care of it!" The little palace maid was in a hurry, and her eyes didn't know whether they were red from the fire or with tears in a hurry.

"The Emperor is discussing important matters with your lords—"

"What's the noise at the door?" Guifu paced.

"Quick, my lord! If you don't hurry up, Niangniang, Niangniang will ......" The little palace maid saw clearly that the person who came was Guifu, the chief administrator of the palace, and suddenly knelt on her knees and couldn't cry.

"What did you say?" Guifu was stunned for a moment, didn't understand or didn't react.

"Taoyuanju is on fire! The courtyard of the peach concubine has been surrounded by fire! The little palace maid coughed as she spoke.

Guifu didn't even finish the second half of the sentence, and immediately ran into the house, his pace was urgent, and he had never seen him so panicked.

Qing Yezhuo was discussing with Liang Gaoliang and the others how to deal with Xi Mo, it had been several days, and Xi Mo seemed to have settled down and never took a step forward, as if he was waiting for Qing Siyi to pass. At this time, Guifu suddenly broke in, Qing Yezhuo frowned, I don't know why he was so reckless, the ministers didn't speak, after all, everyone knew that this person was someone from the emperor's side.

"What!" Qing Yezhuo stood up in an instant, and the pen and ink on the table were splashed and splashed on him, but he didn't hear it at all, but he hurriedly went out with a nervous expression.

The people left in the house looked at each other, not knowing what was happening. Liang Gaoliang followed in silence, and they had no choice but to follow to see what was going on, and this happy monarch would be so panicked?

After approaching Taoyuanju, everyone realized which lord's courtyard was on fire, and the fire seemed to want to swallow everything.

"Quick! Where are the housekeepers, are they all dead! After Liang Gaoliang saw it clearly, he frowned and shouted.

"My lord, Si Yao of the Fire Administration has been imprisoned because he is involved in the Tao family and is suspected of giving money to the case. The new Si Yao has not yet ...... again."

"Rubbish!" Qing Ye Zhuo turned his head and drank.

"What about the patrolling guards?" Liang Gaoliang asked with squinted eyes, he had a bad premonition.

"The guards on patrol have all gone to check the spies because of Seamus's affairs, and they won't be able to ...... until tomorrow," the man's voice grew weaker and weaker, and he trembled under the eyes of the night.

Qing Yezhuo hurried towards Taoyuanju, and Liang Gaoliang followed behind with a nervous expression. When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard wall, they found that the fire was even more powerful than they had imagined, and the entire courtyard wall was surrounded by fire, and there was no way to enter. Some palace maids and eunuchs ran out one after another from the backyard, they were disgraced, and the water utensils in their hands to fight the fire seemed to be a drop in the bucket.

"Send the guards from the east to put out the fire immediately!" Liang Gaoliang turned around and commanded.

"If it's too late, make a decision!" The cold eyes of the night are chilling.

The sound of hurried footsteps was like the iron hooves of thousands of horses stepping on his heart, he was afraid, he only hoped that the thing he wanted at the moment would not happen, he would not allow it, absolutely not!

"No, Your Majesty!" Guifu grabbed him.

"Your Majesty!" The ministers who followed behind knelt down and begged.

"Concubine Tao is inside, I'm going to save her, you all let me go! Otherwise, I will kill you! Qing Yezhuo's face was red from the firelight, he was shocked, he was terrified, he was left with her in his mind.

"No, the emperor is Beigao's lifebook, and he must not go in." The courtiers around him cried and shouted and pulled the monarch to prevent him from entering.

"Get out!" Qing Yezhuo slapped over a man who usually only slapped his beard, but his raised steps were hugged by another.

"Your Majesty! You can't go in, for the sake of all the people of the world, please take back your life! Liang Gaoliang looked at the monstrous fire in a daze, lowered his eyebrows, knelt on the ground, looked up at the monarch in his heart, and said firmly.

"You stop me too!" Nightburn couldn't accept it, he seemed to feel like he was going crazy inside.

"Your Majesty! For the sake of all the people of the world! The ministers fell prostrate on the ground, weeping and shouting.

"The guards are here, hurry!" At this time, a column of internal guards with water gear quickly arrived.

"The Emperor's ......"

"Don't talk nonsense, put out the fire!" Qing Yezhuo directly snatched the bucket in the hands of the leading guards and joined the firefighting team. Among the adults who are in the officialdom on weekdays, they are all disgraced, carrying water, and carrying buckets.

"Your Majesty, the fire is too big to be controlled. Please also ask the emperor to recuse himself! More and more people came to put out the fire, but the fire seemed to be unmoved, and the decades-old peach wood was crying and weeping, and the yard full of memories was now dilapidated.

"Are you asking me to give up Taoyuanju?" Qing Yezhuo stopped his movements and squinted at him.

"Your Majesty, now you can only pile up sandbags so that the fire does not spread out." The guard said.

"Pull it down and cut it!" Qing Yezhuo's eyes widened, and he commanded fiercely. "No matter what, even if I burn down the other courtyard, I just need the fire here to be extinguished!" Qing Yezhuo looked at the red light, and the corners of his mouth twisted slightly.

"Yes!" The crowd quickened their movements.

It's a pity that God didn't fulfill people's wishes, although everyone knew that there was nothing left in this courtyard, but no one dared to raise any objections. What is strange is that Lord Liang, who is usually very calm, is only quietly fighting the fire at the moment, and has no intention of persuading the emperor to stop or move away.

"Mother, Jasper is not sad. Niangniang treats Jasper like this, Jasper is for you to die without regrets! It's good that Niangniang has left, otherwise, Jasper will go with Niangniang! Niangniang, you must take care, Jasper can no longer accompany you. Farewell, undue. Jasper looked at the bed as if talking to herself, and she looked much more shocked than the fire outside.

The frightened screams outside the house didn't shake the smile on her lips in the slightest, and she was reminiscing, remembering those good days.

"Mother, you are so beautiful!" She remembered that the red color of her master's birthday was even more vivid than the day of the main hall.

"Guifu, you just took the test this time, is Niangniang's score better or Shengshang's score better?"

"His Royal Highness the Righteous King will not be at the bottom!"

"Hahaha!" She remembered that the three of them were teasing the three masters outside the house that day.

"Jasper, if someone told you one day that I was the culprit who killed you, would you believe it?" She remembered the question she asked outside the temple that day. Fool, how could I believe that even if it was true, Jasper was willing. What's more, this is impossible, you are the Tao Yao'er who is not afraid of heaven and earth!

"Everyone is gone, stand up, and say what you have." She remembered that the young lady had lost her memory after falling off the cliff, and even forgot about her when she returned home for the first time. However, such a young lady is completely different from the previous one, and she prefers such a young lady!

The flames engulfed the beams and the doors. Since she found the fire, she knew that she couldn't escape, and the courtyard gate had already been sealed by the fire, invading the courtyard house little by little. She would stay here forever, in this place she loved the most and was happiest, and that was enough.

She seemed to hear the man's voice, what was he saying?

It's a fantasy, she smiled self-deprecatingly, since the first time she saw him, she knew that this man was not a fish in the pool and would soar into the sky sooner or later. Yes, he flew, but unfortunately he would never see her like that. But she didn't understand, why didn't he help his master when he was so righteous to him?

She doesn't understand, there are so many things she doesn't understand.

So tired, she remembered the time when she was bullied with Miss when she was a child, remembered something even more years ago, and finally could close her eyes. She felt choked and couldn't seem to breathe. That's good, that's good......

"Your Majesty, it's burned to the main house......" The people around didn't dare to squeak, they knew what it meant.

Nightshade roared, leaving everything behind and preparing to rush in.

At this moment, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and the lightless night was torn open by the thunder, and the rain poured down on his hair, shoulders, and hands, and he stood alive, and the past in his mind burst in an instant.

The winter rain was really so cold, he couldn't feel it, it seemed that everything had no temperature and no sound. Everyone stood in the rain until the fire was extinguished, and in that half a moment, like the flames that engulfed the world, were completely annihilated in the beads. After the rain, the yard was dilapidated, and it was no longer visible to the original, and all possible breathing was deliberately suppressed. Guifu led someone to hold up an umbrella, and Qingye rushed into the courtyard, no one stopped him, because the ruins were in front of him.

"This is—" Liang Gaoliang followed, and Qing Yezhuo was holding an indiscernible figure in the charred room, his eyes were empty, and he held the jade pendant in his hand, which was engraved with eight large characters, "Peach Blossom Burning Its Glory".

The fire burned for half an hour, and the light that reflected half of the fire tomorrow could be seen by many people outside the palace. The subsequent heavy rain extinguished not only the huge flames that poured into the sky, but also the hope in my heart.

And a fiery phoenix is being reborn from this great flame nirvana, stirring up everything in this world that is about to fall apart.
