But Xiao Gui’s reaction was also very quick. In the moment when his body fell, he stretched his hand and grabbed the Taixuan Xuansu belt. Tai Zhen screamed, and he fell out when he was dragged by him. Fortunately, the emperor responded quickly, hugged Taizhen, and pulled back desperately. With this slowness, Xiao Gu adjusted his posture, grabbed the edge of the broken floor with one hand, and several crickets hurried forward, pulling him up with all his hands and feet.

Zhang Xiaojing sighed secretly. This emperor really cherishes sentiment. If he didn’t stop, Xiao Gui and Taizhen would both fall, and the whole situation would be brought back. I missed this last opportunity that is once in a lifetime, I am afraid there is no chance. He shook his head and waited for Xiao Guilai to blame the teacher.

Xiao Xiao didn’t doubt Zhang Xiaojing’s intentions. After all, the shock was just too unexpected. It was not surprising who fell in which direction. He glared angrily at the Son: “What’s going on?”

This unexpected change almost buried most of the crickets and guests. Although there is a distance of six feet between the seventh floor and the sixth floor, as long as the luck is not too bad, it will not fall. However, a large number of reinforcements have now boarded the building, and it is impossible to leave the fireflies with room to ignite.

His plan to burn the hundred officials has actually failed.

“What’s going on?” Xiao Gui shouted again, and blood oozed out of the gauze at the eye injury.

The emperor hugged Taizhen tightly and shook his head. His expression was even more angry than Xiao Gui. This is the main building of diligent affairs. Since the 20th year of Kaiyuan, he has had countless feasts here, but he has never been aware of such a big architectural hidden danger. This … Isn’t this a big deal? !

Only one who knew what was happening was Zhang Xiaojing.

The structure of this building for diligent administration is very different from other palaces. It is a tall wooden building built on a stone wall. In order to be able to see the surrounding landscape, it cannot be supported by a large column of rafters like an ordinary pavilion. Especially on the third floor, the Inviting Wind Pavilion and the seventh floor, the Star Picking Hall, are uncovered and unobstructed, and the wind is coming from all sides. If there is a ringed porch column, it is really a great scenery.

In order to ensure the landscape and safety at the same time, the Ministry of Industry widely invited experts to invite Mao Shun and Chao to solve this problem, and finally Mao Shun’s idea won.

He pointed out that the key lies in how to reduce the pressure on the upper four floors and the top. According to Mao Shun’s plan, from the fifth floor up, the floors of each floor were joined together by a tenon and mortise method. Instead of pressing on the four-cornered temple pillars, the pressure was transmitted downward through the convergent bucket arch and attached rotating beam. In other words, it is equivalent to building an independent floor pressure-bearing structure in this building of diligent administration.

In this way, the main column does not bear too much pressure, which can reduce the number of roots; at the same time, each floor of the floor also has reliable independent support, and there is no risk of collapse. Mao Shun concealed this set of independent supporting systems in the floor decoration without any abruptness, which could not be seen by laymen. Mao Shun also gave him a name, called “Inner Building”.

Chao Fen greatly praised this. But with his professional vision, he pointed out that this design has a flaw. If someone deliberately destroys it, there is no need to take action on the main body, just destroy the convergent bucket arch and attached rotating beam at key nodes, which will cause the floor itself to be unable to support the weight and the layers collapse.

However, the Ministry of Industry disagrees. Who would dare to come down to demolish the building at the feet of the emperor? So he appointed Mao Shun as the capital, and the director created it. After the completion of the diligent government affairs building, the wide view and transparent inner hall were very pleasing to the emperor. Therefore, Mao Shun’s worth has risen and the ship has risen, which has laid a foundation for winning the construction rights of Taishang Xuanyuan Light Tower in the future …

Before Zhang Xiaojing left, Chao Fang also told him this hidden danger. Zhang Xiaojing was downstairs just now and noticed that the convergent bucket arches and attached rotating beams outside the corner of the third floor were damaged to varying degrees. He instructed Tanqi to mobilize a group of surviving handymen to prepare for the destruction of the “building-in-building” nodes between the third and sixth floors.

His strength is weak, and his experience is still there. He knows that if the Star Picking Hall falls into a confrontation, there is no way to break it by personal strength. This plan to destroy the “building inside the building” is the last method he can use when he finds that something is impossible. It’s hard to make good use of chaos by collapsing the floor and causing great chaos.

As for whether it would cause the casualties of the emperor and the group ministers, Zhang Xiaojing could not protect it so comprehensively.

He deliberately dropped Yong Wang from the broken bridge, which was a key step in this plan. Under the broken bridge, which is the position of the six-layer eaves, there is a long-necked beast head with an oblique extension, wide eyes and wide wings, scales and fins, called Capricorn. The location where Yong Wang was pushed down by Zhang Xiaojing was carefully calculated. It just fell on the Capricorn head and could slip back to the sixth floor.

Zhang Xiaojing told Yongwang to go downstairs to report that the situation above Tanqi was irreversible, and she immediately proceeded according to the plan agreed in advance.

From the effect point of view, Yongwang did report honestly, and Tan Qi also carried out Zhang Xiaojing’s instructions meticulously. Unfortunately, the floor collapsed a bit slower. If you can get even 20 fingers earlier, you can wipe out the cricket, including Xiao Gui.

Xiao Gui leaned forward, and the entire Star Picking Hall had completely changed its appearance. The lavish Xuan open room that used to be a feast, had now become a large, broken hole. There were firelight hidden in the six layers below, and human bodies, rubble, broken wood and debris were stacked together, and there were moans.

Except for Xiao Xiao, the surviving cricket is only five people, and everyone is happy. Just as long as they stood a little bit in the hall, they would encounter the same end. These people are not afraid of death, but it does not mean that they are not afraid of accidents.

Xiao Ji suddenly saw that a half-broken cypress plank was suddenly lifted, exposing the curved handrail of the sky ladder. A group of soldiers armed with crossbows jumped out of the stairwell. Although the lights were dim and the clothes could not be seen clearly, it must be the forbidden army to look at the vigorous movements. As soon as they rushed up to the sixth floor, they immediately found Xiao Gui overlooking on the seventh floor. Seven or eight people raised their crossbows and shot fiercely upward.

Xiao Gui hurriedly retracted his neck, barely avoiding it. Several crossbow arrows hit the copper crane with a crisp sound. But they haven’t been able to climb up yet.

“Go!” Xiao Gui ordered. It is meaningless to investigate why the slab collapsed. The important thing is to transfer these two precious hostages as soon as possible.

Of the five surviving cicadas, the two held the emperor, the two held it too true, and the other carried Zhang Xiaojing on his back. They stepped on the edge of a circle of trails that had not collapsed, and quickly came to the southwest corner of the seventh floor of the Qinzheng government building. Here, they overturned the balustrade and stepped on the flying eaves of Uwa. Here the **** is not small, and everyone has to carefully clamp their feet at each place to ensure that they do not slip.

It is already on the outside of the main building of Qinzheng, and the position is quite high. At this time the sky became deeper and deeper, the darkest time before dawn. The night wind blew high above the sky, and seemed to be a little stronger than the wind in the middle of the night. Zhang Xiaojing climbed on the back of the earthworm and looked up. Although there was a lot of smoke, it was quickly shattered by the night wind, and the surrounding scenery could be seen from the gap.

At this time, Chang’an City is still brightly lit, bright in the distance. However, compared to the previous bustle, these lights showed a little panic. Zhang Xiaojing noticed that the watchtower, which had been quiet for a long time, seemed to be back in operation again, and the dense purple lights flashing endlessly. He read a part of the information, that was to inform Zhufang Lantern Festival ended, curfew began.

“This response is too slow.” Zhang Xiaojing thought, looking down at the distance.

The upper half of Taishang Xuanyuan Lamp Building was inserted upside down in the Qinzheng Affairs Building. The fire color of the whole body outlined this wreckage into a strange shape. In the inner courtyard of the nearby Xingqing Palace, there are also countless fragments of flaming flames. The picture was like a dying fire dragon hitting the pillar of Optimus, and blood was splattering.

Outside the Xingqing Palace, half of the dilapidated lamp tower is still burning, like a huge torch, illuminating the square in front of the Xingqing Palace. Many people lay down on the square, covering the entire slate floor. Looking at the clothes, the people in white who fell on the ground were almost all people watching the lanterns, with a handful of black armor of Long Wujun and artists who pulled out the lanterns. Countless figures ran back and forth, crying.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaojing sank in his heart. Although Que Lehuo’s explosion weakened a lot, it still caused heavy casualties among the people watching the lanterns. Thousands of deaths and injuries may be caused by visual inspection alone. Many people help the old and the young and come to admire the lights. I am afraid that the family will die here and be destroyed.

Zhang Xiaojing only felt a feeling of frustration accumulating in his chest. He didn’t care about the right time, and said: “Xiao Gui, have you seen it? So many lives, because we are all gone.”

Xiao Guizheng was standing on a straight ridge and looked in a certain direction. Hearing Zhang Xiaojing suddenly asked, he replied indifferently: “It’s always a little sacrifice to do big things. As long as it’s worth it, don’t care too much.”

Zhang Xiaojing said angrily: “That’s thousands of lives. They are ordinary people like us, so there are no more. Do you not feel a little guilty?”

“But they succeeded in holding the Dragon Martial Army, otherwise where could the emperor be so easy to get, and it would be considered dead.”

“How can human life be so measured!”

“Human life is measured in this way!” Xiao Gu poked back hard. “The price of holding a beacon is 300 people, and the price of overpowering a grassland tribe is 1,000 people; the price of the entire Datang vigilance is only 10,000 people. No, is n’t it a good deal? ”

Zhang Xiaojing was speechless for a while, this algorithm was too cold, so cold that he didn’t know what to say.

“You are not trying to wake up Datang, this is just an excuse. You just want to vent your hatred.” He said.

Xiao Gui coldly said: “Big head, I saw it when I was guarding the Fengsuibao. Everyone was determined to die, you are persuading Wen Wuji and me to withdraw first. Don’t look at you, you are really hard, in fact, we are in the bone The softest one in the center. But I did not expect that you will be weak to this point. ”

“With so many innocent souls made in one hand, aren’t you afraid of falling into **** after death?”

Xiao Gui turned his head, and his blood-stained face was full of cruelty: “Hell? Big head, where do you think I have lived in these nine years? I’ve been prepared, how about you?” Zhang Xiaojing choked, just about to say what. Xiao Gui raised his hand and forcibly prevented: “If there is anything, wait until it is safe to talk!”

Zhang Xiaojing remembered this, they are still holding a small team to escape the emperor. He was determined to continue arguing with him, but when he thought that there were more important things to do, he had to shut his head and turn his head away from looking at the miserable situation on the ground.

The emperor stood on the other side, also overlooking the miserable state of Xingqing Palace. His face was as thick as water, but he was quiet, and no one knew what the king thought. Taizhen was huddling tremblingly beside her, and now she only hoped that the nightmare would end as soon as possible, so that she could soak in the soup in Huaqing Chi.

Xiao Gui made a gesture and moved carefully along the straight ridges on the cornices, and from time to time would step on a few pieces of Uva. The people behind followed in turn, Zhang Xiaojing crawled on the back of the cricket, shaking, feeling that he might step on the air at any time, and the experience was very bad. Too true performance is worse than him, this place is so high, so steep, her feet are sore, often rely on two crickets to support her arms. She felt she was going to die and couldn’t help choking.

The emperor suddenly stopped walking: “You have captured me, she is useless to you.”

Xiao Gui said without looking back: “No, with her in our hands, your majesty will only obey.”

“Here is the crest of the building of the diligent government affairs, surrounded by high altitudes, you have reached the end of the road.” Tianzi continued to say calmly, “With this, I can guarantee that you leave the capital alive.

Xiao Gui gave a contemptuous laugh. The pedestrian stumbled away for a while and gradually turned to the side ridge of a cornice. A pottery owl kiss is placed here, standing at the end of the main ridge, the head of the animal and the tail of the beast, and use the nightmare to get luck.

Beside the kiss, there is still something that can never appear here. When Tianzi looked at the object, his face suddenly changed.

“This is our way.” Xiao Gui said proudly to the emperor.
