Xie Tong quickly rummaged through all the lattices and dark cabinets in the outer hall, just like last time, and still found nothing.

Could it be that there was something wrong with this outer hall, Xie Tong began to touch the corners of the walls one by one, and to his disappointment, he did not open the secret door of any mechanism. He stood in front of the dragon case dejectedly, trying to find any clues, but the dragon case still had no breakthrough.

Xie Tong was anxious, this was his only chance to steal the sword, if he lost this opportunity, he would never have the possibility of taking the sword, and Zhu Wen's plan was all in vain.

The moonlight penetrated through the skylight, scattering a piece of silver, reflecting on the lower end of the huge painting on the wall, Xie Tong suddenly thought that Cao Pingyang entered the study room twice, it is certain that the sword is set here, Cao Pingyang looked at this huge painting twice in a daze, could it be that there is something mysterious in this picture.

For the first time, Xie Tong carefully observed this huge picture. The east is adjacent to the Jieshi to view the sea, and only eight big characters come into his eyes, which is the poem of Cao Cheng, the king of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, but there is only one sentence, and there is no following. The content of the giant painting is also very similar to the artistic conception of this poem, a towering mountain, the top of the mountain is shrouded in mist, and the mountainside is submerged in the sea from the mountainside down.

Xie Tong doesn't know calligraphy and painting, but the artistic conception of the painting is really realistic, and there is an immersive feeling overlooking the sea, and he can't help but shudder. Xie Tong looked at the painting carefully, although the style of painting is sharp, but this painting is completely detached from reality, the ancient and modern, there has never been such a thrilling and exciting place, the east is adjacent to the Jieshi to view the sea, he followed the first two sentences silently down to read the water He Tuan, the mountains and islands. The trees are overgrown and the grass is abundant. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging. The trip of the sun and the moon, if out of it. The stars are splendid, if out of it. Fortunately, even ya, the song is a song. This is a poem by Cao Cao, the king of Wei, who expressed his feelings during the southern and northern wars.

As Xie Tong read silently, he seemed to feel that the huge painting was moving, and with the reflection of the moonlight, the sea water in the painting slowly surged, and the sea water formed a huge wave from far and near, roaring over, hitting the mountainside fiercely, and the waves splashed in all directions. Xie Tong couldn't believe his eyes, the waves seemed to splash on him, he shivered, the waves continued, and continued to surge from afar. This towering mountain, which was hit by the waves, also trembled, and made a rumbling sound, and the whole earth trembled.

The waves continued, one after another, the huge waves were more fierce than the other, roaring and hitting the mountain, Xie Tong knew that this was not an ordinary wave, but a tsunami, the sea was angry, and wanted to smash and raze this towering mountain. The unknown mountain, feeling the wrath of the sea, but still to no avail, the tsunami reached its peak in anger.

The mountain was shaking, cracks appeared on the mountainside, huge gravel slipped from the top of the mountain, and was swallowed by the sea, Xie Tong was also terrified, what a powerful force, what a magical sight. A big eagle flew from the clouds, drifting over the crest of the waves, from far and near, straight to Xie Tong's eyes and pecked.

Xie Tong was fascinated by it, and directly broke out in a cold sweat, he hurriedly retreated, raised his right palm and slapped it towards the big eagle, but it was empty. The mountain collapsed on impact, and the whole earth shook violently.

Xie Tong only felt dizzy and fell to the ground. He sat down in front of the dragon case with difficulty, and fixed his mind, the scene just now no longer existed, the huge painting was still the same as before, the sea and the mountains, the only difference was that the great eagle that attacked him disappeared into the distance, and became a small dot.

Xie Tong found that his back was completely soaked, although everything was an illusion, but the scene just now was still lingering in his mind, which made him palpitate, the person in this painting is not only the best painter, but also excellent martial arts, can integrate people's ideas into the painting, it is really a figure second to none, but unfortunately this is only a mural, if the wall is seriously worn, or collapse, this work can not be immortalized.

Xie Tong looked towards the incense case, a stick of incense had already burned most of it, and he had been delayed by this painting too much time. He had no time to delay, he had to find the sword immediately, otherwise if Cao Pingyang returned, he would stay in the Wenhua Hall forever.

The moonlight shone upward, and the eagle on the giant painting lit up, Xie Tong's heart moved, and he seemed to have found the key to the painting.

Xie Tong crossed the dragon case, flew up, and clicked at the eagle of the mural. At the eagle was a dark green jade, which was a little bit of Xie Tong and directly trapped into it.

There was a rattling sound from under the dragon case, the sound of a stone slab moving. Xie Tong was overjoyed and turned over to the dragon case.

It turned out to be a secret passage leading to the bottom, Xie Tong did not hesitate, lit the fire fold, and walked slowly down the steps.

At the bottom of the steps is actually a square hall, about three zhang in length and width, there are many gold and silver jewels on display in the square hall, among which there are several rare treasures, presumably Huang Chao looted from all over the world, thinking of his order to burn and loot in Sichuan and Shu, **** no way, Xie Tong is very resentful, the hegemony of the world has reached the point of doing everything, and the symbol of his division, the green steel sword, is placed on the table in the center, Xie Tong is busy holding the green steel sword in his hand, and there is indescribable excitement in his heart.

Xie Tong was not in a hurry to leave, he looked at this square hall, the square hall was surrounded by loess poured and tamped with a sledgehammer, which was very solid. Xie Tong immediately understood that this square hall must have been built together with the Wenhua Palace, and it was the secret passage of Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty, but it was used by Huang Chao to hold gold and silver treasures.

Xie Tong turned around to leave, and caught a glimpse of a huge night pearl in the treasure pile, which was the one Shang Caiwei was going to give as a gift, Xie Tong was very dissatisfied, he stepped forward and took the night pearl into his arms, and the other jewels were all ignored, not that he was familiar with it, but it was impossible to take it out.

The fire fold in Xie Tong's hand was crumbling, obviously burning to the end, he made up his mind and left this place immediately, he hurriedly climbed up the steps and pulled out a cloth from the dragon case. wrote that "Cao Pingyang came here for a visit", placed it in the armory, closed the mechanism, and left.

As soon as he left the study, Xie Tong noticed that something was wrong.

Outside the entire Cultural Hall, there were shouts of killing, and several annexes in the east of the main hall actually caught fire.

Xie Tong said in his heart, something big must have happened.

Several teams of people rushed towards the Shang study, and Xie Tong said in his heart that he would not slip away at this time. Hurriedly left.

Xie Tong hid the Qingyu Sword under a big tree outside the Cultural Hall before hurriedly returning to Pang Shigu's camp.

When Pang Shigu saw Xie Tong coming back, he said unhappily, "My lord, where have you been?"

Xie Tong didn't answer Pang Shigu's words, and shouted directly, "Pang Shigu, how did you bring the soldiers, I just left for a while, and it was like this".

Pang Shigu didn't expect Xie Tong to be so domineering, and he was so busy that "Lord Qiyu, there was a fire in the Wenhua Palace, and some soldiers from our battalion went to fight the fire, and now they are being attacked by unknown people."

Xie Tong was the first to react to the fact that Cao Pingyang shot a rocket when he left, which was actually recruiting rescuers.

Cao Pingyang has already made a plan, Huang Chao's army is mostly fighting on the front line, strengthening defense, now Yangzhou City only Zhu Wen's army remains, part of it is stationed outside the city, part of it goes to Fengzentai, and the rabble of Datuk Venerable is also in Fengzentai, Yangzhou City has become an empty city, except for the Praetorian Guards stationed outside the Wenhua Palace, only he has more than 1,000 people left. Cao Pingyang must have known everything about the situation, and this time he set fire to and harassed his army in order to hide people's eyes.

Xie Tong said, "Lord Cao, immediately report the situation on the side of Gao Zhu's commander, give me a team of men, I will personally go to fight the fire, and the camp will be handed over to you to command."

Pang Shigu originally wanted to put out the fire, but he was ordered by Xie Tong to stay in the camp, and he was unhappy in his heart. There was a flash of displeasure in his eyes. Hurriedly said, "Obey!"

Xie Tong led a small group of people and horses straight to the fire in the Wenhua Palace, the fire was soaring, the fire was burned from the imperial dining room, there were many flammable materials in the imperial dining room, in the case of arson, it was burning more and more, spreading to several nearby courtyards, it was already uncontrollable, the Praetorian Guards all withdrew to the study and harem, and the fire spread carefully.

The soldiers were carrying water to put out the fire, but to no avail.

Someone had already given the fire information to Huang Chao and Zhu Wen, Datuk and others who sealed the Zen platform.

In a short time, Datuk and Ju Wen led a large army into Yangzhou City, dispersed all the attackers outside the Mandarin Palace, and by daybreak, the fire was under control, but the area around the Imperial Dining Room was in ruins.

There are still four hours to go, which is the best time for the sword worship meeting.

In the study, Huang Chao sat on the dragon chair with a dead face, and all the henchmen and generals stood on both sides of the study, all silent. Xie Tong was also in the study.

On the dragon case, there was a note of "Cao Pingyang's visit here".

Huang Chao was furious, slapped the dragon case, and said, "What are you all doing to eat! Lao Tzu's palace has almost burned down, what is the use of asking you to waste these bunches." ”

Everyone chose to remain silent.

Xie Tong secretly looked at Zhu Wen, and when he saw Zhu Wen looking at him, Xie Tong smiled at him, meaning that he had already succeeded.

Zhu Wen also laughed knowingly, walked to the middle of the main hall, and said, "General, with the information that his subordinates have, the matter is done by Cao Pingyang and Pei Xiangru, and the matter is conclusive." ”、

His Holiness Datuk said coldly, "In hindsight, didn't you see the note on the dragon case? Pei Xiangru lured the immortal Weng to fight, took the opportunity to steal the Qinggang sword, and set fire to the imperial dining room, which everyone knows. Commander Zhu, are all the guards guarding the Wenhua Hall eating dry rice?" His words were extremely ugly, and he wanted to shift all the responsibility to Zhu Wen.

Xie Tong hurriedly stood up and said, "General Qiyu, there is a fire in the imperial dining room, obviously there is a traitor, Xie Tong was ordered to enter the imperial dining room to put out the fire, and there are bandits who sneak attack the camp, so that there is chaos, so that Cao Pingyang and Pei Xiangru run out." Xie could not escape the blame and felt punished."
