The horses beside the carriage also turned their ears at the same time, breathing a restless breath. The guards did not care to appease the mount, and they all turned their necks to the north.

Tianbao three years on the 15th of January, Yinchu.

Changle, Wannian County, Anyi Changle intersection.

From the moment when the red chip was pulled out and the candle was thrown, Li Bi has been following the Siwang car to which the Donggong belongs. But instead of rushing forward to show his identity, he pulled a distance and followed quietly.

Li Mi held the reins in his hand, leaned forward, and clamped his legs with his legs, maintaining a position that he could accelerate at any time. But he did not dare to go too far, because a terrible conjecture was emerging. This idea is what Daoists call the “heart demon”. The more resistant it is, the stronger it is. When there is a gap, it will take advantage of the emptiness. The vines are entangled in the heart, making him hard to breathe and cold.

After leaving the Xingqing Palace, this Siwang carriage passed through the Changle intersection in Anyi and walked all the way south. This trend is quite strange, because the Prince’s residence is in Changlefang, located in the ten king’s house in the east garden of Anguo Temple.

Neither attending the spring banquet nor returning to the mansion. On this good night, where does the prince want to go?

The streets in this area are full of people watching lanterns. They just admired the grand occasion of the lamphouse in the distance, but they wouldn’t bow their heads respectfully to make way because of the ceremonial streamers on the Siwang car. The carriage moved very impatiently, violently slamming in the crowd, and screaming and shouting in pieces-not so much as domineering, but more like a fleeing without any choice.

There were only a few guards on the two sides of the Siwang car, and the honour was not given. The hand resting on the mullion was always pounding irritably, without stopping for a moment.

Li Mifu was on horseback, and occasionally turned back to see the light house of Taishang Xuanyuan Light Tower lit up. The people beside him cried out surprises one after another, but the more he heard the more anxious in his heart. When the twenty-four lighthouses are all lit, Que Lehuo will be resurrected. At that time, I am afraid that Chang’an City will be hit by a catastrophe.

Before tracing the carriage, he had already greeted General Chen Xuanli and warned that there were fierce fire and thunder hidden in the lamp tower, which made him immediately evacuate the Qinzheng government building. As for whether Chen Xuanli listens or not, it is beyond Li Mi’s control-after all, even now it is too late to start the evacuation. There are hundreds of guests in this building, and there are tens of thousands of people in Xingqing Palace Square. There is no way to leave the explosion in a hurry.

Can only hope that Zhang Xiaojing can prevent the light tower from starting in time, that is the only hope of Chang’an City.

Thinking of this, Li Mi frowned slightly, trying to suppress the demons. But this time, any Taoism failed, and the demons quickly expanded, almost infecting Li Mi’s entire spiritual platform, forcing him to think in a highly reluctant way of thinking.

At this delicate point in time, anyone who leaves the diligent government building is doubtful.

So why did the prince leave Xingqing Palace at this time? Did he leave early because he knew there were fierce fire and thunder in the lamphouse?

With this thought in mind, it was like flooding the floodgates, and could no longer be squeezed: as soon as the fire thundered, the entire diligent government building would suddenly turn into powder, from Tianzi to Li Xiang, and there was no escape. Completely empty.

Except for the prince, no, by that time, he was already the emperor.

Li Bi’s heart suddenly tightened, and his nails squeezed into the reins of the cowhide, leaving a very deep mark. He couldn’t carry on any further, and the more he thought down, the more shocked he felt. Li Mi and the prince have known each other for many years. He did not believe that the loyal and cowardly prince would do such a thing.

But … Li Heng is after Li’s after all. This family of people’s blood has always buried a ray of ferocity. The blood stains on the front of Xuanwu Gate were not wiped clean. Thinking of this, Li Bi’s body shook immediately, and his confidence was shaken.

The carriage ahead has gradually driven away from the crowded area, and the speed has increased. Li Bi bit her tongue and forced herself to calm down. He shook the reins and let the mount speed up, don’t get thrown away.

Siwangche walked through the squares of Changle, Jinggong, Xinchang and Shengdao. Li Bi found that the direction of the car was very firm, and the driver did not hesitate to cross the intersection-this shows that the car has a clear destination.

The lights on the street are still very vigorous, but after all, it has reached Nancheng, and the level of liveliness cannot be the same as that of the north. The east side of this area is the east wall of Chang’an City, and the west side is the high **** of Leyouyuan, forming a two-winged high, low-lying city valley road in the middle. Residents of Chang’an call this section of the road “ditch ditch”, which is a good place to visit during the day, but at night, the streets are dark on both sides of the shadows, and the momentum is good.

The Siwang car walked into the shelter ditch, and the speed slowed down. When it reached the junction of Xingxing Shengping Road, it suddenly turned to the right, just passing the edge of the original southern foot of Leyou.

Hidden behind Li Mi, his brain turned quickly, thinking what was suspicious in this neighborhood. Before he thought about it, the Siwang car had stopped far away.

There are not many residents nearby. There are no large-scale lamp stands, and only a few windproof thick-skinned lanterns are hung in the key places. The light is not very good. At the position where the carriage stopped, a tall spire was visible on the south side, which was the Tongfa Temple tower in the Xiu Xianfang; and on the north side, there was a tall blue square wall with a small gate of inverted monument. When this kind of door is opened, it is not pushed left and right, but the whole door panel is tilted forward, tiled on the ground, and pulled by iron chains on both sides, which can be retracted. Because it fell like a stone to the ground, it got its name.

In Chang’an, there are only two conditions for opening doors on Fangqiangdang Street: Either commend the merits of the minister and open the door; or have a practical use, such as the Changmingfang brick kiln where the Turkic wolf guards are hiding. Open another door.

So what is the place where an inverted tablet door opened in the square wall? Li Mi’s eyes glanced over and noticed that there was an arched hollow pattern above the door, and the lines were quite complicated, with flowers and leaves such as honeysuckle, calamus, green wood, and Shicaozi.

Li Bi immediately remembered that this is Shengpingfang, which has a medicine garden, specializing in the cultivation of various herbs for the Donggong. The medicine garden needs a lot of fertilizer, soil and plants, which is used by the prince. It is normal to open the door on the street. Li Bi remembers that Li Heng once rewarded himself with some herbal balm, and he proudly boasted of self-baking and self-adjusting, which turned out to be the material from here.

But why did the Crown Prince come to the medicine garden?

Li Bin was suspicious of his heart, patronizing and thinking, forgetting to pull the reins. Seeing that there was light in front of the mount, the owner didn’t stop it, so he claimed to lean over there.

There were few pedestrians nearby, and the guards around the carriage heard the sound of horseshoes and immediately discovered Li Mi’s travel possession. They were very nervous, whining a warning, and lighting up their weapons. The hand resting on the window frame of the car looked like a frightened rabbit, and it retracted at once.

Li Bi heard the shout and knew that her whereabouts had been exposed. She simply turned over and dismounted. She shouted: “I am Jing An Si Cheng Li Bi!” The guards didn’t notice, the Siwang car trembled slightly.

“I want to see the prince.” Li Mi shouted loudly as he walked forward. The guards looked at each other, a little overwhelmed. The prince was in the Siwang car, and the conversation outside must have been heard clearly, but there was always silence in the car without any order.

“Secretary, Jing’an Secretary Cheng Li, please see the prince!” Li Mi’s voice was a little louder, and he kept walking under his feet, a little closer to the Siwang car. His emotions became agitated and he had to understand this matter, even at the heaviest price.

There was no response in Siwang’s car. Li Mi’s footsteps stopped suddenly, frowning and looking north. The horses beside the carriage also turned their ears at the same time, breathing a restless breath. The guards did not care to appease the mount, and they all turned their necks to the north.

Whether it is a person or a horse, they feel it, and a slight rumbling sound comes from a distance, followed by an uneasy tremor under their feet. Although in this position, the horizon of the north was completely blocked by Le Youyuan, but Li Bi knew that something must have happened to Xuanyuan Denglou.

The twenty-four lamp houses of Taishang Xuanyuan Lamp Building are mainly divided into three parts: the lamp candle department, the lamp figurine department and the organ department. The organ department is hidden deep in the bottom of the light house, covered with wooden skin and satin. The inside is where the hook of the light figurine is located.

When the fish intestine pushed the long red handle on the wooden platform, the layers of force were transmitted to the organs of the 24 lamp houses in a flash. A copper ratchet suddenly clicked and staggered with the adjacent unicorn arm. This small misalignment caused a burning candle to slide directly under the Kirin’s arm, and the hot flame just touched the exposed oil twister.

The oil twister burned with a hula, its length was only a few inches, and Mars quickly drilled into the inside of the unicorn arm, burning all the way to the inner capsule.

The giant wheel on the Lantern Tower is still spinning vigorously, with a solemn light and shining glory. There is no more eye-catching building in Chang’an City at this time. The onlookers were so fascinated that they could not extricate themselves in this mysterious atmosphere.

After dozens of fingers, the lower part of the “Wuwei” lighthouse burst into a very dazzling spark. In the thunder, the sparks first turned into a red flower heart, and quickly gathered into a cluster of stamens. Then the stamen quickly stretched around, stretching into fluttering petals of fire. From a distance, it looks like a peony is blooming dozens of times faster, and the entire set of lantern figurines is swallowed instantly.

None of the audience realized that this was an accident. They all thought it was part of the show. They applauded desperately and were almost crazy.

Taishang Xuanyuan Light Tower did not disappoint them. It didn’t take long for the fire-colored peonies of other light houses to bloom one after another, one after another, with flowers blooming and gorgeous, and the entire night sky lit up. The deafening explosions sounded one after another, as if Lei Gongzheng played the fast-track.

This series of intense explosions set off a hurricane around. The band’s performance came to an abrupt halt, and a series of exclamations rang from the building of Qinzheng. Many officials and servants who were standing too close to the railing were overturned to the ground, and the scene was in disarray. People in Xingqing Palace Square were also shocked, causing a small area of ​​confusion. But this still did not arouse the public’s vigilance, more people laughed and looked forward to the next gimmick with interest.

After the initial eruption, the lamphouses turned into twenty-four giant torches, burning flamingly, leaving the Xingqing Palace bright in daylight. Dozens of lamp figurines were placed in flames, their paints peeled off quickly, their limbs were scorched, and their tongues of fire spewed out from the cracks of their bodies, but they still moved one by one, and the picture was enchanting and strange. If Chao points were present, you might like this hell-like scene.

Inside the lamphouse, the fish intestines gazed triumphantly towards Zhang Xiaojing, admiring the poor worm that had almost fallen into the abyss. He had activated the organ, the ritual had been completed, and there were only dozens of fingers left before Querehudo was completely resurrected.

The fierce fire mines hidden in the lamp house have been carefully adjusted, and the outbreak is still second, mainly to support combustion. Twenty-four heats are now enveloped around the Tianshu from all directions, and the Tianshu is still turning, just like a lamb turning slowly on the grill. When the temperature rises high enough, the huge fiery thunder hidden in Tianshu will explode violently. By that time, within a few square meters, it will become scorched earth.

The poor worm could only watch this happen, unable to stop it.

Yuchang is very happy, he rarely shows emotion so naked, he can’t even kill Zhang Xiaojing. The kind of despair that emerged on the guy’s face was so beautiful, just like pouring a mellow Xinfeng Meijiu into the mouth, I really wanted to appreciate it for a while.

Unfortunately, this wish is doomed not to be realized. After starting the organ, he and Xiao Xiao owed each other. Next, he had to leave the lamphouse quickly before the outbreak, and he still had to deal with Xiao Gu’s bastard.

As for Zhang Xiaojing, let him be swallowed by Que Lehuo with Denglou.

The fish intestine stepped up and prepared to step down on the wooden platform while thinking so. Before the sole of his feet left the ground, he suddenly felt a burning heart. Yugu bowed his head and wanted to see what happened. First, a brilliant light hit his eyes, and then the flame burst from bottom to top, instantly covering him.

Zhang Xiaojing climbed on the edge of the wooden wheel, watching the fish intestine transform into a human-shaped torch, thrown into the air by a strong impact, and then painted a bright trajectory, falling towards the darkness at the bottom of the light tower.

Xiao Gui said that he would not allow this killer to survive. Zhang Xiaojing thought he would work on the retreat route, but did not expect it to be so simple and rude. Under the wooden platform, a fierce fire mine should also be buried. The organ activated by the fish intestine not only awakened the twenty-four lamp houses, but also detonated the fiery thunder beneath his feet. He personally put himself on a dead end.

Zhang Xiaojing, whose entire body was suspended under the wooden wheel, was lucky to avoid most of the shock waves. He couldn’t help feeling, clenched his teeth, and barely turned back to the wooden wheel before his arm muscles cramped.

Twenty-four flaming fireballs were circling around at this time, as twenty-four suns rose at the same time, making the lamp tower brightly scary. Zhang Xiaojing can clearly see every detail in the building. The cyan and red flames spread into the lamphouse along the arm, like a group of heralds holding a high flag, wherever they go, no matter the skin, bracket, suspension bridge, link rope or wooden wheel, they all respond to the call. Raise the Suzaku banner.

It did n’t take long for the entire lamphouse to be full of vermilion peonies, and they were clustered around Tianshu. The flames were leaping and dancing, and with the sound of stripping, waiting for the final bloom.

Zhang Xiaojing slumped beside the square platform, staring at the growing **** around him, his heart was in deep despair and pain.

He has gone through numerous twists and turns, and finally rushed to Que Lehuo. However, this has reached the limit and can no longer get closer. All efforts, after all, could not prevent this disaster from happening, he fell to the place closest to success. Only a little difference, but this point is like a rift.

The sky pivoted solemnly, and remained motionless in the blaze. The top of the column pointed towards the north pole of the sky. As the saying goes, “the sky is endless, the three lights are shining, and the polar stars are not moving. However, Zhang Xiaojing knew that under the blaze of the fire, the fierce fire thunder contained in the hub has been awakened, and it may erupt at any time, bringing irreparable damage to Changan City.

What a cruel thing this is, let a hopeless savior watch all this towards the endless abyss. Zhang Xiaojing is not a temper that gives up easily, but by this time, he can’t think of it anyway, and there is no way to eliminate this disaster.

This time, he was really desperate.

When the twenty-four lamp houses exploded in succession, Yuan Zai happened to lead the public to leave the warning area of ​​Taishang Xuanyuan Lamp House and hurried away.

The shock wave released by the explosion was like an invisible sickle sweeping across the grass. Yuan Zai only felt that his back was pushed by Juli, and when he was overturned to the ground, he fell to Venus. The surrounding Longwu Army and Brigade Army soldiers also fell to the ground one after another. Some unlucky ghosts near the Denglou screamed and hugged their legs to roll on the ground.

Yuan Zai jumped up from the ground in awkwardness, his ears were buzzed by the explosion. He crawled on the ground and ran dozens of steps forward, until he rushed behind a low wall and backed against the wall, he felt safe enough. Yuan Zai panted, cold sweat permeated on his broad forehead.

After a while in his heart, he was afraid that if he hadn’t acted decisively just now, he ordered everyone to quit immediately, and now he might be killed or burned in the lamphouse.

Those stupid people who watched the lanterns didn’t know how to do it, and they cheered in the distance. Yuan Zai raised his head again, and saw that the entire lamp tower became dazzling in the flames. Twenty-four groups of raging flames burned the sky into a red. This is definitely not a well-designed gimmick. No matter how skilled craftsmen, it will not burn the main structure. That flame has already spread to the spiral arm, it is definitely an accident, and it is a deliberate accident!

This is the fierce fire thunder Zhang Xiaojing said?
