In the center, a beam that is thicker than a human waist and painted with a delicate cloud curling grass pattern is the main beam that supports and connects all the beams and columns above and the roof of the temple.

It was too high from the ground, the sun was about to set, and the roof of the temple was dimly lit. At a glance, except for the beams and columns that are vertical and horizontal, they are empty.

His gaze was on the spot where the little water light was headed.

There, more than ten zhang away from him, is a narrow triangular space composed of a large pillar and a gold-inserted beam. From where he was standing, it was dark, and nothing unusual was seen.

He stared.

One person is shrinking his body to the smallest at the moment, hiding in this cramped dark corner.

A drop of sweat slowly condensed on his brow again.

This drop flowed into the eyes.

There was a deep look of despair in his eyes. Not because he was at the end of his rope at this moment, but because of his resentment. If the jade is broken, how can the tile be complete. He just wished he could have more days. If he could wait until the day of the prisoner sacrifice, he would have called all those gathered in this hall to bury themselves in the ruins with the final blow from the emperor's grandson.

He gritted his teeth, suddenly took off the bow he was carrying, set up his arrows, leaned out of his hiding place, and shot three arrows in a row at the opposite man with lightning speed.

It is Pei Xiaoyuan's familiar technique. He drew his sword and slashed the arrows of the sneak attack, and when he dodged it, the man stood up, and ran towards the girder along the golden beam under his feet, keeping his balance short.

At this time, the feather forests below and around also took action. Some rushed upwards quickly, while others were under the Great Highness, firing arrows at the people on the beams above their heads. The arrow whizzed up, but because the distance was too far, when it reached the top of the temple, the strength had been greatly reduced, and all of them were avoided by the man, and in a blink of an eye, the man got on the beam, walked like flying, and pulled out the fire rod inserted in the belt, took the fire and folded it, and lit it.

A face appeared in the firelight.

It was Li Meng.

With this sudden light, Pei Xiaoyuan also discovered something unusual.

Faintly, he saw that a deep groove had been dug out of the center of the girder at the intersection of the main ridge pillar supporting the roof of the temple, and in the groove seemed to be filled with something.

Not only this, but also in the load-bearing position where the mortise and tenon of the big column and the beam frame intersect, there are also traces of hands and feet.

Because of the distance and the dim light, he did not notice it when he first came.

In an instant, Pei Xiaoyuan comprehended.

Although what he saw matched his suspicions, when he witnessed this scene, he was still shocked by the conspiracy that had been planted more than a year ago.

It is unimaginable that if Li Yan's plan succeeds, what a tragic situation will happen here. There was an irrepressible look of horror in his eyes. He quickly drew his bow and arrow, aimed at Li Meng, and shot out with one arrow.

His arrows are not missing, and this distance is also the most powerful range of the bow and arrow.

The arrow drove deep into Lee's arm, holding the fire staff, and the broken bones pierced through the skin. However, under such a fierce attack, the fire staff did not fall from his hand.

After shaking his body on the girder a few times to offset the impact of the arrow, he stood firm again, and then, with his other hand, he took the fire rod, and pulled out the arrow on his arm that was still connected to the flesh, and let the injured arm gurgle and bleed, and the man continued to run towards the middle of the girder.

At this time, the feather forests that had rushed to the vicinity also released their arrows again.

The arrows flew together, and in the blink of an eye, Li Meng inserted seven or eight more arrows. He was finally stopped and stopped.

With a "whoosh", another arrow shot and plunged into Li Meng's knee. Shaking his body, he slammed his knees on the girder, and then, lying down, he continued to crawl towards the groove in front of him.

Pei Xiaoyuan quickly climbed the railing of the corridor, stood on it, jumped forward, the person flew up in the air, crossed a gap between the corridor and the beam frame, hugged the nearest section of the beam with both arms, turned over, and the person climbed the beam frame. Then, he made several more volleys on the beams of the well, falling from one beam to another, and after the last jump, his feet landed on the beams, turned around, and rushed forward.

The firelight reflected Li Meng's face, which had become distorted by pain or hatred. He continued to crawl forward a few feet with difficulty, and when he saw that Pei Xiaoyuan had already stepped on the girder, he stared at the figure that he was stepping on the girder and was hurrying forward, and gritted his teeth: "Cheap Dog Emperor!" ”

"That's it! On that day in Dache City, you escaped from my hands by luck, and today you hit it yourself, then let the Dog Emperor see with his own eyes, how you were buried under the rubble, and this hall he built to boast of his merits, and was buried for His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun! ”

He stopped, pulled a leather off his body, bit off the plug with his teeth, and spilled the liquid from the sac onto the girder. The liquid flows into the groove. The pungent smell of fire oil spreads.

Then, with a wave of his arm, he threw his fire staff into the groove amid the angry curses of the feathers.

Even though he was already running wildly, the distance was still too far.

The fire staff was about to fall, and at this time, Pei Xiaoyuan was still seven or eight steps away from it. Seeing that he couldn't catch up no matter what, he didn't stop, and while continuing to run wildly, he quickly took off his coat, held it in his hands, and waved his arms violently, throwing out his clothes. The garment unfolded with a whirl, enveloping the rod of fire.

With another wave, the fire staff flew out. Moments later, there was a thud and it fell to the ground. In the echo sound of the four corners of the main hall, the fire was extinguished.

The danger is lifted.

The Yulin Langs woke up and cheered one after another.

The smug look on Li Meng's face immediately froze, and in an instant, his expression became extremely hideous.

The cheers of the surrounding Yulin Lang had not yet fallen, and he roared, and the person who was already seriously injured actually jumped up from the beam, pounced on Pei Xiaoyuan like a vicious tiger, and hugged his waist.

"Let's die together!"

Li roared, and in the anxious shouts of the feather forests calling the horses, he dragged Pei Xiaoyuan, and the two of them turned off the girder together.

"Pei Xiaoyuan!"

When Su Yufang heard the news, he rushed into the main hall, and when he looked up and saw this scene, he was cold and screamed.

Li Meng held the idea of dying with him, this pout, burst out all his strength, Pei Xiaoyuan was dragged off the beam by him upside down, and at the last moment, his legs suddenly hooked upside down, and he hung on the beam, stopping the fall.

Li Meng was already like a mad tiger at this time, hanging in the air, holding Pei Xiaoyuan's waist tightly, and wrestling violently in the air, trying to throw him down again.

Pei Xiaoyuan relied on the strength of his strong waist to stabilize his upside-down body, clenched his fists, slammed Li Meng's two temples, and inserted his thumb into his eyes.

In the scream, blood gushed out of Li Meng's eyes, his hands slipped off, and he fell straight from the height of the girder, his brain burst, and he died violently on the spot.

Under Li Meng's pressure, Pei Xiaoyuan controlled his body, swung in the air a few times, stretched out his arm and grabbed the girder, turned over, and stood firm.

The breath in the chest that Su Yu had just had just now finally revealed.

When the feathers in the hall saw her, they knelt down one after another. She closed her eyes, calmed down, and when her legs, which had just gone weak with horror and were still shaking, finally regained their strength, opened her eyes, lifted her skirt, walked past the corpse that had been broken and completely deformed, climbed the stairs, and hurried upward.

Pei Xiaoyuan was so engrossed in dealing with Li Meng that the noise of the outside world was ignored, and he didn't know that she was coming. At this moment, he turned the danger into a disaster, returned to the corridor from the palace beam, and was talking to the people around him, instructing the handling of the future here, when he suddenly heard the voice of someone calling the princess below. He hurriedly finished his order and hurried down. Turning a corner ladder, her figure jumped into her eyes. She looked up too, saw him, and stopped suddenly.

She climbed from the main hall to this floor in one breath, she was panting, her chest was heaving, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

During the day, he rushed back from Cangshan to deal with the matter, but fortunately, there was no danger, and finally before the day of the prisoner sacrifice came, Li Yan, Wang Zhang, and Li Meng were all cleared.

There will never be a real harmony in the court, and no one can guarantee what the world will be like in many years, but at least, it is foreseeable that in the next short period of time, from top to bottom, there will be no major changes in the court, and those careerists who do not know where they are now dormant will no longer be able to become a climate and set off any big waves.

Pei Xiaoyuan looked at her for a moment, smiled, and was about to step down the stairs to meet her, when suddenly, seeing her raise her footsteps, she rushed towards her, and then, rushed into his arms and hugged him.

He didn't know why at first, but he felt her heart pounding and beating very hard under her soft chest clinging to his chest. Soon, he guessed that she should have seen the scene of him and Li Meng fighting on the roof beam on the roof of the palace, and was frightened, so he comforted softly: "I'm fine, don't worry." But she didn't seem to hear it, and kept her face pressed into his arms, and hugged his waist hard, refusing to let go.

Pei Xiaoyuan had no choice but to stop on the stairs.

Behind him and behind her, the feather forests who were about to go down or up were blocked, and when they found that the princess was holding the horse so much, how dare they look more, and they turned their faces away, but they all secretly looked at it again, and glanced at it a few times from time to time.

Pei Xiaoyuan was slightly embarrassed, but he was happy, and even a faintly complacent emotion. He had the heart to remind her that someone was watching them, but in his heart he was clearly reluctant to interrupt. Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly saw her open her eyes, let go of herself, grabbed his hand instead, took it, turned around and went downstairs. Yu Lin'er hurriedly dodged and squeezed into a pile in the corner to make a debut for the two. In this way, Pei Xiaoyuan was pulled by her, and under the watchful eyes of many pairs of eyes, he went down the stairs and walked out of the main hall.

It was completely dark. The shadow of the palace lantern, like the stars on the water, floats and jumps on the continuous corridors and compound roads of the palace. He followed her out of the palace and went to the purple tree forest in the back garden where Chengping and Yu Wenzhi had fought for her that day.

He didn't know what she had brought him here for, so he looked around and saw that there was no one in sight except for him and her.

"Sister-in-law......" he stopped and called to her, and suddenly she turned around, dragged him into a thick clump of leaves, and pressed him against the trunk of the tree.

Pei Xiaoyuan's heart skipped a beat.

"Sister-in-law......

Without saying a word, she pounced on him, hugged him tightly again, wrapped her arms around his neck, forced his head down, made his face lower towards her, and kissed him heavily on the mouth.

How could he stand her kissing so fervently. But for a moment, when he realized that she was doing something to him, a hot mist spread up with the blood and qi all over his body, hazy his eyes. It's not like you're just watching it all the time. Her retinue wisely stopped behind. It was dark and dark, except for the quiet clusters of branches, there were only him and her, two people.

He jumped under his chest and stretched out his arms, about to hold her in his arms and make out with her in the night, when suddenly she stopped and pushed him away.

"Why are you taking such a risk?"

She questioned him, her voice trembling slightly, apparently not yet fully reassured from the horror she had had just moments ago.

Pei Xiaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately explained: "Your guess in the morning is correct. More than a year ago, before Li Yan left Chang'an to go to the southwest, he should have been prepared for defeat in the future and planned this plan. He originally wanted to make an attack on the celebration day, so that all people, including His Majesty, would be buried here, so that he could find out early, but Li Meng was fierce and didn't intend to live, if I didn't stop it like that, I am afraid that the Chongtian Temple would be destroyed in his hands-"

"Don't say that one temple of heaven is ten, one hundred, what if it is destroyed? The sky can't fall! ”

Su Yu interrupted him.

"Do you know how I got here when you were trapped in the city?"

Her voice choked uncontrollably.

Chapter 156

A strong sense of fear seemed to bring her back to the night when she woke up from her dream.

She was lying on the cold window, her eyes closed, gasping for breath, her whole person was in a state of fright, and a muffled babbling sound came into her ears.

It was the voice of Xiaohu'er who woke up and couldn't find her.

The little one closed his eyes and arched his little furry head as usual, trying to burrow into her arms, but he arched into the air. The whimpering cry of grievance finally pulled her out of the night dream full of blood and fire.

After having Xiaohu'er, as long as she can be free at night, even if she is tired during the day, she will always take her to sleep with her. Many times when I feel lonely and unable to sleep because of my thoughts, fears, or remembering and missing someone,

As long as she saw this little man and held him in her arms, her heart could slowly settle down, and she waited patiently for the dawn, ready to meet the new day that she didn't know what it would be.

"At that time, I always said to myself, if you really can't come back, it's okay, I have a little tiger, I will raise him well, and when he grows up, I can tell him what kind of hero his father is, worthy of his greatest pride and respect——"

"But I know in my heart that if I can, if I can be a wayward person, what is the matter with me? I'd rather you don't have an inch, as long as you can

Come back well! ”

"That's it, we all have no choice, but Chongtian Temple, it's not as important as you! Pei Er, you listen to me, if there is a next time, you dare to do this again, I, I-"

She remembered the scene a moment ago that had scared her almost to death, and her voice trembled and she paused.

"I can't spare you!" She said viciously.

"I remember."

After a moment of silence, he answered softly.

"What exactly do you remember?" Su Yu choked again, "I want you to say it again!" Tell me! ”

He stared deeply at the two pools of water in front of him that shimmered in the dark night. It was her tearful eyes.

"I, Pei Xiaoyuan, swear that from today onwards, I must take care of myself. I will always be by your side, guarding you and our little tiger. ”

He said slowly.

Su Yu whimpered, pounced on him again, hugged him, kissed him indiscriminately, and even gnawed at him. At first, Pei Xiaoyuan only had her back against the tree, motionless, and let her treat herself like this, so that she could vent the pent-up emotions in her heart. But when her lips and teeth moved down, and she began to suck and bite his Adam's apple, which made him sore and itchy, and that was not enough, the punishment from her spread all the way to his throat and chest, and he began to open up the hem of his clothes as she made him. Fortunately, the dense purple branches and leaves blocked the moonlight, and the two of them were completely hidden. He shuddered, put his lips to her ear, and coaxed her in a suppressed, tight voice, trying to stop her.

"Juan'er...... Okay? I'm afraid there are people outside the forest...... We...... Let's go back first......"

She must have done it on purpose. To punish him. Before he finished speaking, in the darkness, a soft hand boldly opened the corner of his robe, deceived him, and shook it.

His words stopped abruptly, and he let out a low, uncontrollable "hiss-" sound, looked down at her, endured the punishment and punishment from her, and after a while, gritted his back molars, picked her up, turned around, protected her back with one palm, and then pressed her against the tree.

Aoki couldn't resist the impact, the crown of the tree trembled, the branches and leaves trembled, and in the thud, a sleepy-eyed delicate flower fell from the branch and fell between the snow chest hidden under the spring shirt under the tree, he lowered his head, and bit the flower in his mouth along with the muscles covered by the thin placket.
