He tried to open his eyes to distinguish, and finally found that it was a string of multicolored tulle. Presumably this is also a design from Mao Shun. The lights of the light house can show a more layered light through them.

Tianbao three years on January 15th, Yin Zheng.

Chang’an, Wannian County, Xingqing Palace.

Xiao Gui led the elite crickets, and quickly advanced along the edge of Longchi. However, more than two dozen fingertips, they have approached the entrance of the main building of diligent administration.

Strictly speaking, the building for diligent administration is not in Xingqing Palace, but part of the city wall in the southern section of Xingqing Palace. Its south side faces the square, and there are left and right connected to the towering Miyagi stone walls. There is no access on all three sides. The only entrance is on the north side, located in the inner courtyard of Xingqing Palace, surrounded by the forbidden army. It was originally designed to reduce the risk of being attacked, but now it becomes a problem …

The building of diligent affairs at this time has been completely shrouded in dense smoke. The field of vision in front of me is extremely poor, and it is enough to watch everything. Mars flew from time to time in the fog, dark red and dim yellow flashing alternately. Xiao Gui and others had to slow down and bypass the broken debris and scattered debris of the lamphouse, so as not to hurt the soles of their feet.

Xiao Gui walked at the head of the team, trying to distinguish the scene ahead, and was not anxious. The harsher the environment, the better for them. If these twenty or so crickets face the Dragon Martial Army, they will surely be wiped out. Only in a chaotic and complicated environment can they win a chance.

Suddenly he stopped, his head tilted slightly, and he heard a burst of noise in his ears. This voice did not come from the Qinzheng government building, but from a place farther south. That was the cry of countless people.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in the square of Xingqing Palace at this time, packed tightly, and spending a lot of money was enough to cause a serious accident, not to mention such a terrible explosion.

Although the real explosive power is not that great, why have the people of Chang’an seen such a scene? Just listening to the sound, Xiao Gui could imagine that the tens of thousands of people who ran out of fear at the same time ran out of the square in panic, crowded each other, stepped on each other, and turned into a turbulent vortex of people-this is good news, in all directions The army of King Qin who has arrived will be surrounded by this huge turbulence and have no time to look around.

Xiao Gui only paused for a while, and then continued to run forward, and soon saw two tall and hideous beast-shaped black shadows appearing in front of him, and he couldn’t help but feel refreshed.

The cicada has figured out the situation around the building of Qinzheng Affairs in advance, and knows that at the left and right of the entrance, there stands a statue of a spirit beast-the Eastern Blue Dragon and the Northern White Tiger, symbolizing the northeast direction of Xingqing Palace in Chang’an.

As long as you see the two stone statues, you have found the right entrance. Xiao Gui shuddered, and issued a short order to the people behind him. They stopped and raised the crossbow hung around their waists, and laid them flat on their arms.

At the entrance of the building of Qinzheng Affairs, in addition to the spirit beast, there are many guards of the Longwu Army. Chen Xuanli’s military training is a good hand. Although these guards were shocked by the sudden explosion, but no one left the post without authorization, but increased the alert. Xiao Gui saw that the threshold at the entrance had been raised a bit, forming a half-height wooden wall to prevent outsiders from entering.

For this situation, Cricket has a plan. Thick smoke is the best bunker. They have occupied favorable shooting positions, and more than a dozen crossbow machines have been lifted at the same time.

“Do it!” Xiao Gui ordered in a low voice.

boom! boom! boom!

The sound of slack springs was one after another. These earthworms were once elites in the military, and wearing a poplar with a hundred steps is a basic quality. Although the Longwujun soldiers were covered with armor, the dozen or so tricky crossbow arrows just penetrated into the gaps of the armor and penetrated the vital point.

In just a moment, the guard at the door fell halfway. The rest of the guards responded very quickly, turning over and jumping over the threshold, and stooped down. It’s a pity that the cricket had already ignited several tubes of fiery oil, throwing a parabola across the wooden threshold. Soon a flaming flame rose on the other side, accompanied by a scream.

The cricket in charge of the melee took the opportunity to jump in, killing all the guards with one knife. Just then, a group of Hu Ren musicians ran from the side in panic. They are the banquet orchestra of the banquet. They are staying in the lounge at the bottom of the building. When they hear the explosion, they hold the instrument and want to escape.

Crickets will naturally not let them go. Regardless of 篜 篌 or pipa, facing the sharpness of the blade, it seems very weak. However, in a few moments, these poor musicians fell under the butcher’s knife and broke their strings. After killing them, Xiao Gui realized that the survivors from the upper floor of diligent government affairs would continue to run down from the upper floor. He quickly put the crossbow arrow back on the arrow, crossed the threshold, and came to the first floor of the Qinzheng Hall.

This hall is extremely empty, with sixteen red lacquered columns standing in the middle, on which the dragons are covered. The columns are filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, or rich, or fragrant, lush, and different shapes, decorating this hall as a “natural way of Dao” scenery.

In the middle of the hall, a wide sky ladder hangs down to the second floor-in fact, it is a wooden staircase about five feet wide. Dragon shape. Those who climbed up the stairs and walked up the stairs, like stepping clouds, like Longxiang, returning to the banquet hall on the top floor repeatedly. The emperor and many guests climbed the building, and they went up here.

However, this ladder has changed now. Its original structure is that the main body is suspended, and it is only lifted by the pillar at the turning point of each floor, and does not occupy the space in the building, but the price is that the foundation is not strong. The violent shaking just now caused the stairs to collapse one after another, and the ladder was half destroyed. Xiao Gui looked up along the patio and saw that there were even a number of stairs leaning on top of each other, causing a mess.

The height of each floor here is more than three feet, if people jump off forcibly, they are afraid of dying faster. That is to say, the upper floor of the building for diligent affairs has been temporarily isolated from the outside world.

Xiao Gui recalled the structure of the building slightly, pointing to the right: “Go here!”

There is a passage for miscellaneous work here. It connects to the house below and goes up to the floors in the building for the purpose of spreading vegetables and wine. There is no right way, you can only try to go here.

The handy staircase is located at the corner of the building, and its entrance and exit are covered with two turns to avoid disturbing the sight of the nobles. The earthworms quickly crossed to the stairs. The staircase here is naturally not as expensive as a stairway, with few decorations, but the bottom of the staircase is very solid in order to carry heavy objects, so it is intact.

Xiao Gui said nothing, and went upstairs. On the way, servants and maidens continued to flee in panic, and they were all solved neatly. Occasionally lucky guys escaped the attack, screamed and turned around to escape, and the crickets were not interested in chasing.

Their goal is only one-Tianzi.

At the moment when the lamp building exploded, Chen Xuanli and Yuan Zai had just walked through the doorway at the entrance of Xingqing Palace.

The sudden huge roar, and the flames and smoke that followed, caused the two to stop and pale. Their sights were cast on the banquet hall at the top of the building at the same time. Unfortunately, under the cover of the sky-shattering power of the burst of the light tower, they could not see what was happening there.

Waiting until Taishang Xuanyuan Lamp Tower collapsed and hit the front of the diligent government affairs building, the two people woke up like dreams-but they would rather this is an illusion.

The emperor of the Tang Dynasty, who was actually attacked in the heart of the capital and the destruction of Miyagi, was a terrible nightmare.

“Save the drive!” Chen Xuanli reacted first, shouted, and ran forward.

Yuan Zai followed him, but hesitated. Looking at the prestige just now, the emperor has already crashed, and then he ventured into it again, showing some loyalty. Is it worth it?

As he thought about it, his steps slowed down. Unexpectedly, Chen Xuanli glanced back at him, and his tone was full of cruelty: “Xingqing Palace has been completely closed, and those who have left the house will not be killed!” Yuan Zai looked stiff and raised his head and said: “Yuan Zai is responsible for Jingan. Is it a greedy person who is afraid of death? At this very moment, rescue is the most important thing! Secretary Jing’an is willing to be the forerunner of the general! ”

What he said inside and outside, implied that Jing An had notified the enemy and Long Wujun had to take more responsibility. Chen Xuanli snorted coldly. Now it’s not time to pull the skin, he must first withdraw the emperor from the upper floor-if he is still alive.

They were already surrounded by three or four escorts. On the way, they gathered more than a dozen guards from the inner patrol and formed a small combat team. Chen Xuanli was in a hurry, constantly urging the team, and quickly rushed to the entrance of the main building of Qinzheng.

At the door of the building, they first saw the corpses of soldiers of the Longwu Army and the raised threshold. Chen Xuanli’s face was extremely green, and the tragic situation in front of him showed that things were worse than he expected. Cricket not only detonated the lamp tower, but even quietly infiltrated the Xingqing Palace, the number is unknown.

As a general of the forbidden army, this can no longer be called a shame, but a serious malfeasance.

Yuan Zai also saw the seriousness of the situation. Obviously, there is only one goal for the earthworm, that is, the throne. He made a calculation in his mind. The security forces in this building of Diligent Government Affairs were estimated to have suffered heavy casualties in the attack just now; and now the square must also be in chaos, dragging the main force of the Long Wujun to death; as for guarding Xingqing The first reaction of the guards of Gong Zhumen was to strictly guard the city gates. The more chaos they made, the less they dared to leave their posts.

The Longwu personal guard directly under Chen Xuanli could be used, but they were stationed outside the Jinming Gate, and the Jinming Gate had just been closed at the request of Chen Xuanli. It will take a lot of time to reopen.

That is to say, under the gap between yin and yang, the only ten people who can be rushed to the government building in a short time to rescue the driver. As for how much the enemy came and what weapons were in their hands, they were completely at a loss.

Yuan Zai anxiously suggested to Chen Xuanli: “The enemy and the enemy are unknown. If you go to the dangerous place, you will jump to the general. It is better to wait for the Yulin and Qian Niuwei troops to arrive, and then make plans.

The Yulin Army belongs to the northern government, and the Qianniuwei belongs to the southern government. When the lantern tower fell, they would immediately be dispatched to come to King Qin from all directions.

But this suggestion was categorically rejected by Chen Xuanli, joking, but now the emperor is in danger! Waiting for the other army to rush to save the driver is equivalent to sentenced to death. In this situation, the number of King Qin’s army is not important at all. What matters is time! Hour! One more finger and one less finger may be the difference.

“You must go in now! Just now!”

Chen Xuanli withdrew his knife and changed his previous caution. At this time, there was no way to be cautious any more, and you had to force yourself to climb the building. Even if you were all dead, you wouldn’t let the emperor have any failure.

Since the coach had given the order, the soldiers of the Longwu Army rushed into the lobby on the first floor without hesitation. They soon discovered that the Tongtian Ladder had been half-destroyed, and that it was not possible.

“Take the staircase next to the handyman!” Chen Xuanli was very familiar with the floor layout and immediately shouted. The soldiers rushed to the corner of the building again, looked up, and found that the fire staircase spreading a raging fire, could not go. Chen Xuanli narrowed his eyes and examined it, and found signs of man-made destruction on the top of the ladder.

Those **** crickets, as expected, boarded the building from here, and also cut off the back road! Chen Xuanli punched **** the stairs handrail, breaking the hardwood. The white ballast at the break was stained with the blood of the forbidden general.

Both stairs were broken, and Long Wujun soldiers stood in the hall, unable to do anything. Yuan Zai turned his neck and suddenly pointed to the side: “I have a way!”

“Ok?”

“Step on those flowers! You can touch the edge of the wooden ladder on the second floor.”

When Chen Xuanli heard it, his eyes were full of fierce glance. When was this? What the **** did he dare to say such nonsense? He reached out to grab Yuan Zai’s shirt. Yuan Zai’s waist fell away from Chen Xuanli’s palm and ran towards the flowers between Zhu Qi’s pillars.

Chen Xuanli was about to catch up, but saw Yuan Zai squatted down, and then moved a piece in front of him—not a clump, but a square and square flower border—from the piece of flowers alone. Above the flower border are purple-blue tulips and yellowish-white Naga flowers, but below there is a rumble.

Chen Xuanli only realized what this guy meant.

These flowers and plants on the ground floor of the Qinzheng government building do not really grow in the ground, but are planted in a wooden fence called the spring shift threshold. This kind of car is parked in the imperial garden on weekdays, the soil is cultivated in the cabin, and the soil is buried in the soil, and the gardener is responsible for watering. Once the roof of the car is blooming with leaves, these spring-shifting thresholds can be pushed to any place and become a movable royal garden.

Yuan Zai has always been the best luxury, and he is more sensitive than anyone else in such subtle and elegant means. Only he will notice such details.

Chen Xuanli hurriedly ordered everyone to come forward to help, push out the several vehicles with all their hands and feet, roll over the body, and dump all the flowers and soil inside. Pity these exotic flowers and plants from other countries, turned into spring mud under the trampling of boots, no one feels distressed.

The soldiers piled up empty cars one by one and approached the ceiling. Then they climbed to the roof of the car in turn, and their arms could reach the edge of the broken ladder on the second floor, and they could go up with a little force.

After a while, everyone including Yuan Zai climbed up the second floor smoothly. This layer gathered a lot of servants and maidservants, and some nobles dressed in elegant clothes. All of them were gray-faced and paralyzed. When they saw a rescuer coming, they all called for help.

Chen Xuanli didn’t care about them at all, strode toward the stairs leading to the third floor. Fortunately, this staircase was intact and unobstructed. This team of people stepped on the third floor in one breath, but had to stop.

The third floor of this building of Qinzheng Affairs is an open room on all sides, without walls, only supported by a few rows of pillars. The height of this floor is just above the walls on both sides, and there are no buildings in the distance. In the summer, the cool breeze blowing through the hall is blowing on all sides. It is an excellent place to receive coolness. It is called: “Inviting Wind Hall.”

This completely unshielded layout encountered a large-scale explosion in the front of the light tower. It was simply that the lamb encountered a tiger and was ravaged. A whole layer, whether it is a copper mirror, a porcelain bottle, a screw screen, a silk mat or a living person in it, was shocked by shock waves first, and then washed again by the fire cloud. Immediately afterwards, the upper floor of the lamp tower collapsed and crashed, the burning building tip hit the outer wall and was broken, rotating and cutting into this floor, bringing countless flying debris and Mars, the scene was miserable.

When Chen Xuanli rushed to the third floor, they saw smoke and ruins all over their eyes, the floor was messy, almost impossible to move, and they could not hear any cry for help or moaning, for fear that there would be no survivors. Several fire heads leaped violently. If not, it would cause a second fire in a short time.

Chen Xuanli suppressed the horrified mood, waved away the pungent smoke, and ran towards the ladder leading to the fourth floor. The Shangyuan Spring Banquet was held on the seventh floor, where the emperor was also. This was Chen Xuanli’s only goal.

Yuan Zai immediately followed Chen Xuanli, and the scene in front of him raged, making him speechless. Should we continue to move up? This risk value is not worth taking? You know, even if the emperor did n’t die in the explosion, he might be controlled by the earthworm now. The risks are growing, but the benefits are getting smaller. Yuan Zai’s heart could not help but shake.

However, he could not find any excuse to leave for the time being. Chen Xuanli’s current state of mind, as long as Yuan Zai reveals his intention to leave, he will be killed as a deserter on the spot.

The ground on this floor is littered with sharp debris and a lot of broken porcelain, making it difficult for people to run up. Below Chen Xuanli, all jumped forward cautiously. Yuan Zai took the opportunity to search around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he couldn’t believe what he saw.

On the edge of the floor a dozen steps away from him, there is a square pillar with eaves, propping up the high eaves eaves corner. At this time, at the lower edge of this square column, leaning on a person, his clothes were torn, and he seemed unconscious. The man was bruised all over, almost unable to see his face, but he was familiar with the one-eyed one, and once scared his pants for this.

“Zhang Xiaojing?”

Yuan Zai was shocked and happy. He didn’t expect to meet this guy again in this building. He didn’t care much and shouted to stop Chen Xuanli. Chen Xuanli turned around and asked him how he was going.
