The two of them were talking, and the smiles on their faces stopped abruptly.

Zhao Fuling got up and wanted to check, but Li Jingmo immediately grabbed her wrist and said, "Sit with peace of mind and ask Thirteen to take a look."

Thirteen had already gone to the window, looked out, and then hurried downstairs.

After a while, he came up with the other guards with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty's wife, quickly go downstairs and evacuate, the alley next door is full of water, and now it has burned to the side of the Ming Tower."

Li Jingmo's brows tightened: "Burn so fast? Where is the source? Can anyone come to the Midtown Terracotta Division?"

Thirteen shook his head with an ugly face: "The minister has not seen anyone from the Terracotta Division for the time being, and now it is the people who are organizing to extinguish the fire, but tonight the east wind is extremely strong, and it is difficult to extinguish."

Li Jingmo pursed his lips, glanced at Zhao Fuling, who had a big belly, and led the other party's hand downstairs first.

After all, Ming Lou is the first floor in Beijing, which is fully staffed and well-equipped, and the treatment of VIPs is naturally very high.

After Li Jingmo and the others went downstairs, the steward of the Ming Building had already led them to the safe exit. Zhao Fuling looked back and saw that many guys in the Ming Building were also carrying buckets to help put out the fire.

She asked the steward of the Ming Building, "Does the steward know how the fire started?"

The steward wiped his face and said with some gloom: "It seems that a child played with a lantern and accidentally lit a branch. Nowadays, the weather is dry in late winter and early spring, and it is easy to walk through the water. When the branch was set on fire, it burned the backyard of a family that put firewood, and now it is burned from house to house."

Zhao Fuling hurriedly said, "Are there any casualties?"

"I don't know yet!" The steward was full of worries, and he didn't want to say more, so he only told Zhao Fuling to leave first.

The people who enter the Ming Building are either rich or expensive, and if they make a mistake, they will not be able to compensate for the lives of the whole family.

Zhao Fuling didn't say more, she followed Li Jingmo all the way around the crowded place, and finally returned to the carriage.

Li Jingmo told everyone to send Zhao Fuling back, while he stayed to deal with the fire.

Zhao Fuling understood that today's incident might cause very serious consequences, and she didn't stop Li Jingmo, but only told him to be careful.

Li Jingmo nodded and helped her into the carriage.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and everyone heard an exclamation not far away.

Zhao Fuling turned her head to look, and a beauty picture sky lantern suddenly floated above the moat. The figure of the beautiful woman is about four or five feet high, and her expression is realistic and smart, as if it is a real person.

But the good times didn't last long, and as soon as the beauty sky lantern floated up, it was blown away by the wind, and then it burned.

This is where the exclamations of the people originate.

Zhao Fuling also heard someone whispering: "This is burning sky lanterns and running water in the house, how do you feel...... Isn't that a good omen!"

The thirteen, Tao'er and others around the carriage had a somewhat ugly face.

Zhao Fuling looked at Li Jingmo, but saw that the other party's expression was quite calm.

She opened her mouth, wanting to appease Li Jingmo for a few words, but before she could speak, Li Jingmo said first: "Go back quickly, leave the rest to me, don't worry."

Zhao Fuling didn't want to burden him anymore, so she nodded and got into the carriage.

The guards escorted the carriage away quickly, and Li Jingmo turned his head to look at the almost burned beauty sky lantern, his face was gloomy as if he could drip water.

He walked towards the source of the fire, and as soon as he arrived, he heard the other man shouting, "Get out of the way, the men of the Terracotta Division are coming."

Hearing that someone was coming, Li Jingmo stopped and didn't move forward.

The man who came wore a big knife at his waist, was eight feet tall, and had a slightly fat body. His face was dark in the firelight, mixed with a hint of drunken redness.

"Where's the water? What kind of does you need to come in person?"

The man spoke drunkenly, with dissatisfaction in his words and expression.

The adjutant beside him reminded him a few words, and then he raised his hand crookedly and said, "Go and put out the fire, what are you doing here?"

The people who followed him had already gone to put out the fire.

But tonight the wind was very strong, and the fire was extinguished again and again, and the houses of those people were about to burn down.

The adjutant was on fire

In a hurry, he hurriedly said, "My lord, please also give the order to ask for the support of the brothers of the other soldiers and horses, this fire is too big."

But the swarthy fat man scolded, "What support...... They are all waiting to see the jokes of their own officials, if they call for support today, won't they fall into their hands? A bunch of waste, just a fire......

Li Jingmo's face was extremely ugly.

The flames climbed on the roofs of the people's houses, and the messy cries and howls were mixed together, making people listen to them in despair.

Li Jingmo didn't wait any longer, and quickly ordered Thirteen: "First go and search for any people trapped in the burning house, and then send an order to the soldiers and horses of the four cities in the southeast, south, and northwest to send people to fight the fire." Also, all the officers of the Ministry of Transmission are here."

Thirteen was ordered to leave, and his men rushed into the fire.

With the addition of well-trained forbidden troops, the fire was gradually brought under control, and the women and children trapped inside were rescued.

Seeing this, the onlookers breathed a sigh of relief, and those who sent soil and those who received water were very busy.

The commander of the Midtown Terracotta Division didn't notice anything at first, until the adjutant reminded him, "My lord, it seems that the people who put out the fire just now have a forbidden army."

"Forbidden Army?" The commander of the Terracotta Division said with a big tongue, "The forbidden army is not going to guard the palace, what are you doing here?"

But the adjutant felt bad, and quickly turned his head to look around.

Looking at them, I saw a young man staring at them with a blank face.

The adjutant was taken aback, only to feel that the man's face was somewhat familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Before they could come up with a reason, they saw that the biggest official at their top, the old man of the military department, hurried over.

This soldier boss, who is usually high up and wants to see each other, but at this moment, he bowed down to the young man in a panic.

"The minister is guilty!"

As soon as he knelt, some officials who followed him knelt down in hula.

The onlookers didn't know what was happening, and when they heard that the Son of Heaven seemed to be here, they hurriedly followed and bowed.

For a while, the entire fire scene, except for the people who were still busy fighting the fire, everyone else knelt down.

Only the commander of the Midtown Soldiers and Horses Division is still out of the situation.

Li Jingmo took his hands behind him, staring at the commander of the Soldiers and Horses, but he said to the secretary of the military department: "What is Lord Bai's crime?"

The secretary of the military department said worriedly: "Minister...... The ministers are not strict and the management is not appropriate, so ......."

As he spoke, the other four cities also sent people.

Li Jingmo immediately said, "I won't hold you accountable at this moment, and I'll talk about it when this fire is over."

When the military department Shangshu heard this, he did not relax a little in his heart, but raised it even more.

He only hoped that there would not be many casualties in the fire, and as for the loss of property and so on, it was secondary.

The military department got up tremblingly and hurriedly stepped forward to organize everyone to put out the fire.

In fact, this kind of thing is not his turn to be personally commanded by a Shangshu. Even if you go to command, you don't have much experience. But the emperor was standing beside him, and he had to step forward even if he was pretending.
