Today, in the streets and alleys of Luodu, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were discussing the strange scenes of last night - the scene that had been red in half of the sky last night was so terrifying that it had long since spread throughout the capital with the soldiers guarding the city, the night patrol and the mouths of the people who happened to get up at night.
In the Tianshi Mansion, after Zhao Xuanqing learned about this, he summoned several Tianshidao people in Beijing to discuss whether the red light in the night sky was related to the celestial phenomena of "Three Stars Fighting Ziwei" mentioned by Zhang Xuanyi.
"It's obvious that it was a bloody disaster. Does it indicate that there will be a major change in the capital soon?" an old man guessed with his beard.
"It's very similar. Since the Three Evil Stars appear, blood will naturally flow into a river..." Zhao Xuanqing agreed deeply.
"Then let's report to Taishi Mountain as soon as possible?" a Taoist priest suggested.
"Since it is a celestial phenomenon, why can't the senior brother and the celestial master see it?" Zhao Xuanqing shook his head, thought for a while, but said again: "But it is appropriate to report it, someone is coming..."
"Uncle Master, wait." The celestial girl who had been silent all the time, opened her red lips and said: "I saw the sky last night, it looked like it was reflected by a fire, not like it was a celestial phenomenon."
"Oh?" Zhao Xuanqing was stunned and suddenly remembered many years ago, when he was a Taoist boy, when he followed his senior brother into the Kyoto of Qian Dynasty, the last emperor of Qian Dynasty set fire to himself. The fire burned for three days and three nights. At night, the entire night sky was red, which was quite similar to last night.
"What city is there on the east side that can cause such a big fire?"
"Xingluo Cang." A Taoist priest reminded.
"Oh, it's really possible." Zhao Xuanqing hurriedly changed his mouth to the little Taoist priest who was called in and said, "Go out and find out the news and see if Xingluo Cang is on fire."
The little Taoist boy hurriedly took the order and left.

The Shang family headquarters had much more knowledge of the merchants. When the Tiannv and Zhao Xuanqing were still in vain, a report with a very similar content to Gongsun Quan's memorial was already placed in front of Shang Luojia.
"No wonder the man surnamed Lu is asking the lady to buy food. It turns out that he had the idea of ​​this..." Even Shuangshuang understood now. While she was talking, she looked at Shang Luojia. It had been almost two months since that night that was unbearable to look back on.
Shuangshuang felt happily before that her lady had gradually emerged from the haze and was cheering up again. The past few days, and the year-end inventory of merchants at all places was also very good. I don’t know why the lady was not thinking about food and food, and her mood was obviously depressed, which made Shuangshuang feel both distressed and puzzled.
Shang Luojia lazily leaned on the soft couch, quickly swept the report in her hand, closed her eyes slightly, and reviewed the story of last night in her heart. When she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but be deeply impressed by Lu Yuntian's imagination, meticulous execution, and control over the people's hearts of the court.
If someone hadn't been behind the scenes, then this young man would have been too terrifying...
‘Only such a man is worthy of himself, right?’
A strange idea suddenly popped up from Shang Luojia's heart, which made her secretly embarrassed and annoyed, calling herself too humble and actually having such shameless thoughts...
Shuangshuang was by her side, looking at her lady's face and her hands were covering her face, and she couldn't help but become more worried.
"Miss, let's ask the doctor to see it. You can't continue like this..."
"No, absolutely not!" Shang Luojia heard this, like a frightened bird, curled up her body with her hands and knees, and whispered: "I'm in good health, so there's no need to see the doctor."
"Oh, okay..." Shuangshuang had no choice but to retreat worriedly.
.
Shengpingfang, Cui Ying's house.
Su Yingxiu knew the news, only a cup of tea later than Shang Luojia.
She sat in front of the bronze mirror, dressed up under Mrs. Cui's service, while listening to Cui Ning'er's chattering report beside her.
"Miss, how did such a fire dragon come into being? Could it be that my son-in-law will do magic in the future?"
"Haha, the man I chose is naturally not an ordinary person." Su Yingxiu smiled faintly: "He can not only turn into a dragon and a phoenix, but also call the wind and rain, sprinkle beans into soldiers..."
"Uh, Miss, please play with me..." Cui Ning'er pouted depressedly, "He is not a god, how could he do those things?"
"Do you know he is not a god, and you still ask the saints these naive questions?" Mrs. Cui glared at her daughter: "Go and bring water to the saints."
"Oh." Cui Ning'er had no choice but to go out reluctantly.
"Saint, you said, after Lu Yun made this happen, can he really help his father pass the test?" In fact, Mrs. Cui herself was also very curious.
"It's almost the same." Su Yingxiu held the lipstick paper, pursed her lips gently, and then smiled and said with a smile: "Since things are involved in the dragon, it is naturally not something that ordinary people can talk too much. Our Emperor, you should understand it and take the initiative in your hands."
After saying that, Su Yingxiu tapped a flower on his forehead, and his eyebrows and eyes were smiling happily: "Actually, I didn't expect that the brat could come up with such a trick. I had previously thought of eighteen ways to save Lu Xin, and there was also a fire plan, but it was impossible for Lu Xin to completely get rid of it. This time it was the brat who beat me."
"But the saint looks very happy." Mrs. Cui whispered.
"Is there any?" Su Yingxiu looked at herself in the mirror with a smile, but refused to admit her account: "No?"
"The saint said no, that's nothing." Mrs. Cui couldn't help but laugh.

In Jingxinfang, Lu Yun was still sleeping with his head covering.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Lu Ying walked in with a sad face, pushing Lu Yun who was sleeping.
"Sister, what's the matter?" Lu Yun rubbed his sleepy eyes and squinted at Lu Ying.
"Stop sleeping, something big happened." Lu Ying threw Lu Yun's clothes into his arms and said worriedly: "Nun Seven just now, let me come over and say that Xingluo Cang was burned last night. You should go and report the message to your father..."
"What am I doing..." Lu Yun fell on the bed again when he heard this, and said vaguely to the pillow: "Don't worry, my father will be fine."
"If you say it's okay, it's okay? Grandpa is almost in a hurry..." Lu Ying was just talking when she suddenly caught a black corner under Lu Yun's bed. She picked it up with her toes and picked out a night-slide dress stained with black gray.
Lu Yun's room is cleaned by her own daily life. She hasn't seen this thing yesterday.
Lu Ying held Ye Xingyi and stared at Lu Yun and asked in a low voice: "Did you run out last night?"
"Well, I also set the fire." Lu Yun had nothing to avoid Sister, so he simply told me about what happened last night.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Lu Ying refused to spare Lu Yun.
"If I say that, can you let me out?" Lu Yun said with a bitter face: "Even if I let me out, can I still fall asleep at night? I felt sorry for my sister, so I secretly went out."
"Hmph, you'd better not hide it from me next time." Lu Ying waved her fists at him, but this was not the time to show off her temper. She immediately became worried about Lu Yun and Lu Xin.
"If you put such a big fire dragon, won't you find any evidence, right?"
"How could it be? The whole fire dragon was made of bamboo slices and paper, and it had been burned completely."
"Then can Dad really pass this?"
