Night has fallen on this majestic Kyoto.

Today is a great day. Of course, Li Zhi will open the night market, and it will be all night long, comparable to the Chinese New Year's Day.

The streets are brightly lit, with pedestrians and traffic. The people at present have no idea of ​​wrong or right. Since the emperor said he wanted to celebrate, he must celebrate. The people are singing and dancing, especially the two cities and the north alley, which is really lively.

This is true in the folk, and there is no need to mention the palace. All the officials raised their glasses to drink with the emperor. They all had red faces, and the piano and zither were entertaining. The singing and dancing genie were graceful. On a whim, Li Zhi started dancing when he heard the piano, and Li Ji beat the drums urgently. The ministers danced one after another. The fire was swaying, and the demons were dancing around.

Although Han Yi, an outsider, likes this atmosphere very much, the problem is that he can't dance, and he has no interest in dancing with men, so he quickly peeed and escaped.

The harem was relatively not so excited, but Wu Meiniang also showed her extraordinary communication skills at this banquet. She had a great time talking to the female relatives of these ministers. She was even more sisterly with Li Ji's eldest daughter, and treated these distinguished guests very attentively. When these famous ladies saw that the new queen was quite enthusiastic, very good.

Even the Royal Training Camp was full of applause. The students sat in the table, drinking wine while watching sketches on the stage. Today's sketch was created by Meng'er and the others, and had nothing to do with Han Yi. It was starring Du Zuhua and Xu Youyou. Xiaopang is now a big celebrity and is deeply sought after by Confucian scholars. His status is increasing day by day. If he wants to play the young Confucius, he must of course be able to accumulate energy.

But the effect seems to be pretty good, and there are constant laughter below.

In a very closed courtyard in the Yeting Palace, it was almost pitch black. With the light of fire that sneaked in from the window, two women with disheveled hair were sitting on straw mats in prison clothes. The wet and cold air was like a bit of trembling, and the only thing they could cover was a piece of white linen, which was basically covered by the dead. In addition, there was a dung bucket, which was really smelly and cold. The two could only hold together to keep warm. Listening to the bursts of laughter from the training camp, I felt very sad.

These two are really Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu.

Although Wu Meiniang arranged them in a separate courtyard, which could be said to be a contemporary suite, it was just on the surface, and was for Li Zhi to see. In fact, they could only move in this room and never go out. They were all eating, drinking, defecating and urinating here, and almost all the windows were sealed, leaving only a window in front to deliver food to them. It can be said that the light of day is gone.

"Sister, will the Grand Marshal really come to save us?"

In the darkness, there was only a trembling voice. Xiao Shufei, who was speaking, had never suffered this hardship in her life. Now she just wants to escape and leave here forever.

"Whether you come or not, I will always make this fire. Even if I die, I will not let that fox girl live a better life." Queen Wang gritted her teeth. Her beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with infinite hatred. This hatred made her ignore the surrounding environment and allowed her to survive now.

When Concubine Xiao heard the fox Meizi, her eyes were filled with hatred, "Sister said it right. Anyway, we can't escape death when we fall into the fox Meizi's hands."

"Don't talk for now, don't miss the code."

Outside the hospital.

With the sound of footsteps, two imperial guards walked over swayingly.

The guard guarding in front of the door immediately complained: "You two are finally here."

"Sorry, sorry, I drank two more drinks when I passed by the Eunuchs. You guys go quickly, we'll just keep guarding here."

"Let's go!"

It turned out that a new shift has begun, and these imperial guards are full of expectations for today's shift changes, because they can go to celebrate after get off work.

In the training camp.

"good!"

For a moment, there was thunderous applause in the training camp. Du Zuhua and Xu Youyou bowed to everyone and walked downstairs.

Bang bang bang bang!

Suddenly, I heard a deafening sound of gongs and drums.

I saw Zuo Wu and Donghao, who was holding a gong and drum, walked towards the stage with great force.

Yang Menghao only felt his ears buzzing and said unhappy: "Zuo Wu, Donghao, what are you doing? My ears are deaf.

Dong Hao said embarrassedly: "Sorry, sorry, we just drank a few more drinks and didn't hold back. But everyone, the following drama is amazing, it is "Young Confucius 2" that is popular all over Chang'an now."

"good!"

There was thunderous applause again.

Zuo Wu and Donghao walked downstairs again. Donghao said curiously: "It's really strange! Why did the benefactor tell us to beat the gong hard?"

Zuogi frowned and said, "My benefactor told me, let's do it. Ask so much, if my benefactor wants us to know, he will naturally tell us."

Dong Hao said, "I just asked casually, let's go, our mission has been completed, so I'll go drink."

Yeting Palace.

The two guards guarding in front of the courtyard were still a little unsatisfied and were talking about the fine wine they had just now.

"You-did you smell it?"

One of them suddenly twitched his nose a few times.

"What did you say?"

Another man said inexplicably.

"What a big smoke smell!"

"Wow! Why is it so big that the smell of smoke? Huh? It seems to be coming from the yard."

"You might as well open the door."

"Oh oh oh!"

As soon as the gate of the courtyard opened, I saw thick smoke rolling in the room in the middle, and there was even more fire.

Both of them were shocked.

Suddenly, there were sporadic shouts coming from around me, "It's on fire! It's on fire!"

They woke up suddenly and rushed over. A burst of smoke made them unable to open their eyes. They finally rushed to the front of the door and were about to kick the door. A wave of heat hit the face, and sparks splashed everywhere. How could they get in? Little did they know that this was just an illusion, but the door and window caught fire, and the other side was still pretty good.

But the two of them didn't know what was going on inside. When they saw that the fire was so big, they were so scared that they almost urinated. They hurriedly ran out and shouted: "It's on fire, it's on fire, come and put out the fire!"

But they missed the best opportunity because of this. If they could still think of the sealed window behind them at this time, they could still rescue people.

What’s so bad is that most people in the Yeting Palace are now working in the harem and the Imperial Garden, and only a small number of people stay here, but they are also drinking and having fun, which is simply deadly.

In the training camp!

"What's going on?"

"It seems like a fire broke out!"

"Ouch! It's the palace that caught fire."

Yuan Liehu roared anxiously: "What are you doing to sit down? Go and put out the fire."

The students suddenly woke up, got up immediately, and hurriedly ran to the palace.

Donghao and Zuo Wu, two Fusang guys, each carrying a jar of wine, walked out of the backstage with their arms around her shoulders, and looked at the thick black smoke rushing towards the sky, and suddenly became stunned.

Donghao suddenly looked at Zuo Wu, "Zo—Zo Wu, it's not such a coincidence."

Zuogi glared at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense."

Donghao quickly shut up.

In ancient times, the houses were made of wood, which was the most feared of fire. If you didn’t make a city, you would burn it to ashes, let alone the palace!

"Hurry up, if it burns to Taicang, everyone will have to lose their heads!"

An old eunuch shouted desperately that Taicang was also in the Yeting Palace. Once Taicang is ignited, the fire cannot be extinguished at all. The entire imperial city will be destroyed. The fire is not known yet, but it must be mainly Taicang, and the fire must not be spread to Taicang.

For a moment, there were shouts in the Yeting Palace, and people were overturned and horses were all in chaos. Because the palace had never caught fire, the guards were very strict, but they had no experience in putting out fires. They were scared to death. The imperial guards around the Yeting Palace also rushed over.

Because the imperial guards in the training camp were closest to here, they rushed to put out the fire, and nothing happened. But as Han Yi expected, they subconsciously walked around the gate, and no one chose to climb over the wall to take a shortcut. Therefore, the trainees in the training camp also ran into the palace unimpeded and rushed to put out the fire with buckets.

After just a while, the whole yard was filled with choking smoke and I couldn't even open my eyes. In fact, the fire was not scary, it was the smoke that was afraid of.

Just as everyone was in a mess, two sneaky figures took advantage of the chaos to quickly cross the unguarded palace wall. When they came to the back of the hut, they were surrounded by thick smoke, and they could not see clearly. One person put his ears on the wall, and heard the sound of hut. He moved a few steps after looking for the sound, reached out and touched it, and took out an iron rod of size. Because they were all nailed to death by wooden boards, they pried open the closed window, and a thick smoke rushed out. The man waved his hand and fanned it. There was a fire in the smoke inside, and he could see clearly. He saw that the fire on three sides of the hut had been completely burning, but the back was not yet affected.

The other man leaped into the house with a corpse in his arms and threw the corpse into the fire. Because the corpse's clothes were already covered with alcohol, they burned at a moment, and then shouted under the window: "Queen Wang."

"I'm here, ahem."

Hearing a subtle voice.

The man waved his hand and squirted the thick smoke. When he looked at it, he saw two women covering their noses and mouths with wet pals and sitting under the window. He glanced at one person, picked him up and threw him out the window.

He heard someone beside him say, "Hurry up - save me out."

The man did not hesitate at all, and directly knocked him out with a knife, took out a bottle from his arms, poured it on her, threw it into the room, and then flew out of the window.

"The emperor is here! The emperor - the queen is here!"

The eunuchs who shouted were trembling.

A large group of people walked towards this side. Li Zhi had already been scared to death and hurriedly ran over. If it was an ordinary fire, he would definitely take shelter at the first time. Obviously, he knew that it was the place where Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu caught fire.

Li Zhi shouted anxiously: "Queen, can Concubine Shu be there?"

The ministers were shocked by this shout, which queen do you call me?

Li Zhi has been calling this for almost ten years, so where can he change it?

Wu Meiniang had a gloomy face, but she endured it and did not have an attack.

An imperial guard ran over and said, "Your Majesty, Wang and Xiao are still trapped in the house!"

Fire extinguishing is more than anything else, and this is the place where prisoners are imprisoned. Everyone is thinking about putting out the fire. When they think of Taicang and the harem, they ignore the fact that there are still people inside. By the time they react, it was too late.

"What?"

Li Zhi was shocked and his body shook a few times.

Zhang Desheng hurriedly stepped forward to support Li Zhi and said, "Your Majesty, you have to be careful!"

Li Zhi pushed Zhang Desheng away with one hand and shouted anxiously: "If you can't save them, I want you all to fall to the ground."
