Shouting too late.
Guo Ning often regarded the young followers as his brothers and partners in the Xijunhe camp. But he is also the most stringent leader and the most ruthless general.
When the young servants are undergoing training, they have special requirements for how to stack bedding, the placement of each personal belongings, and even the sitting posture when eating. They are not allowed to deviate from the specifications in the slightest, and are not allowed to deviate from Guo Ning's instructions. There is not the slightest difference.
Guo Ning hopes that the habit of obeying orders will be engraved in their bones and let them know that when the general gives an order, they cannot waver even in the face of mountains of swords and seas of fire.
And Ni Yi was appointed by Guo Ning as the leader of the young followers. The most important thing is that he never hesitates or makes any compromises in executing Guo Ning's orders.
Amidst the screams of Du Shisheng and the young scholar, Ni Yima sprinted, and then threw the burning copper lamp with all his strength!
Guo Ning laughed: "This kid is so accurate and his physical strength has improved!"
That's natural. Ni Yi can use heavy iron axes as weapons, and his strength is obviously higher than other disciples. He has eaten well and trained hard these days. Even Guo Ning may not be stronger than him in terms of brute force. many.
So, Guo Ning raised his face and watched the exquisite lamp filled with kerosene draw a long arc in the air and hit the pillars of the high corridor of a certain turret, shattering into a large cloud of sparks.
Zhongdu is a place where the wealth of the world gathers. From Ximagou to the area around Yucao Pond, there are not only huge shops with high cabinets, tea jars and wine shops, showing the magnificence of "Ruizhu Palace facing Pengying", but also gardens with clouds, trees, embankments and sand. , there is no shortage of the wild charm of "stone walls, bamboos reflecting the door, water flowing back to the mountains and several peach fields".
The restaurants and shops around Ximagou Bridge naturally also know how to be arty. These shops hang ornate headlights along the river. The lamp itself may be made of gold and copper to show its brilliance; or it may be made of fine Yaozhou porcelain to show its elegance. At night, the water and lights complement each other, really like the waves of heaven and earth.
The lamps are all big lamps, and they contain a lot of lamp oil, so they are not light.
Ni Yi used all his strength and threw out all five or six headlights hanging next to the saddle in one breath. The headlights jumped over the high walls one after another, some hit the high eaves, some hit the yellow and green glazed tiles, and rolled down to the ground.
What a pleasure! Ni Yi wanted to laugh twice, but his breath caught in his chest. He felt short of breath and his arms were sore.
He stopped, wiped the sweat from his head, and looked at the stunned servant in front of him.
Those people are the subordinate officers of the Zhongdu Police Patrol Court. There were about thirty or fifty of them, and they were running out of a long row of houses at the foot of the outer wall of the imperial city, holding iron chains, iron rulers and the like in their hands.
It is said that these people's task is to police Zhongdu and prevent wandering people from approaching within ten feet of the imperial city of Zhongdu. However, they never imagined that such a ridiculous scene would suddenly occur in the originally peaceful Zhongdu City.
A fat official dressed as a Jurchen and wearing gold rings in his ears arrived last and had not yet understood what was going on. As he ran, he pulled up his trousers and shouted: "Little boy, get off your horse quickly, don't make trouble!"
Ni Yi is taller than the average teenager, but his face has not yet grown, and you can tell at a glance that he is still a teenager. There was nothing wrong with the official shouting casually.
However, the other clerks' faces turned pale, and they grabbed him and said, "Secretary, look behind you!"
As soon as the fat man turned around, he saw flames suddenly bursting out from within the palace wall. The fire spread extremely quickly and instantly engulfed several buildings in the flames, stirring up tongues of fire more than ten feet high and vomiting into the air!
This is a matter of course. Behind the palace wall, surrounding the Hall of Supreme Harmony, are a series of exquisite palaces and pavilions built since Zhenyuan, such as Penglaiyuan, Ruizhu Palace, Ruizhu Palace, Longhe Palace, Longhe Palace, and Xiangying Palace, all of which are exquisitely crafted. , and those complicated and gorgeous sill hooked windows, flat caissons, and even the layers of varnish paintings on the wood are all the easiest to be set on fire!
In an instant, all the officials shouted wildly: "The water is leaking!"
At this time, what's the use of shouting twice?
The flames soared up, burning in all directions with the help of the wind. Soon, the first building was covered by fire, then the second, and then the third, slowly connecting into a piece, with bright red fire and thick black smoke. It rolled around like some kind of huge monster, about to crawl out of the palace!
For a moment, no one even paid attention to Ni Yi, the culprit, and all the officials ran towards the palace.
Some of the buildings close to the palace were where officials worked. At this time, people rushed out, shouting in fear, beating gongs and drums, and pouring water in through the high walls with utensils filled with water. In the military camp further away, drums, horns and gongs rang loudly one after another. It was tens of thousands of soldiers of the armed guards, bodyguards, and powerful soldiers who were gathering urgently.
Of course, there are also timid people, holding thin packages of gold and silver in their hands, trying to get away from the fire as quickly as possible.
According to the Daikin Law, fire, arson and failure to put out fires are all serious crimes. During the reign of Emperor Tong, there was a fire in Yanjing, and some officials investigated the responsibility and killed as many as 243 people in one go. At this time, a fire broke out in the palace, endangering the safety of the emperor. If these people are held accountable in the future, they may have to lose their skin.
Ni Yi was a wise man and rushed back.
He rode up to the top of the bridge and asked loudly: "Mr. Lang, how did I do?"
Guo Ning couldn't help but tugged on his short but strong mustache and admired from the bottom of his heart: "What a fire!"
At this time, the sky was dark, and when viewed from the top of the bridge, the fire became more and more terrifying. In the firelight, countless figures gathered from all directions, and their figures grew from small to large, from blurry to clear. Among them were those who put out the fire, some who ran around in fear and trampled on them, and some who were clearly troublemakers who took advantage of the fire to rob them.
It seems that everyone in Zhongdu is really frightened, and there are too many people with ulterior motives in the city. This fire will soon trigger large-scale riots.
"This... what should we do? Lang Jun, this has alerted all the defenders in the city!" Du Shisheng ran up from under the bridge and shouted repeatedly. His riding skills were ordinary, but he was so shaken that his stomach was turned upside down. He managed to shout twice, hugged the horse's neck tightly, and panted heavily.
Guo Ning noticed that the young scholar who was next to Du Shisheng just now was missing. This scholar was in danger, but he still wanted to save others. He was a good character. It would be a pity to die in this chaos.
The thought passed by in a flash. In this world of ghosts and ghosts, what does a scholar mean?
Guo Ning continued to look at the end of the road in the distance.
There are flags being erected one by one, and the soldiers are forming troops under the flags.
There are a lot of them, but they are nothing to be afraid of. These soldiers may not be enough to suppress the riots in the city. Zhongdu City was in such chaos. How did it resist the Mongol attack last year and the year before?
Guo Ning really couldn't understand.
"Today's fire is enough to make the nobles in the city panic for a while. Let's go!" As he said that, he turned back and looked at where he came from: "The one closest to us is Changui Gate, right?"
"Yes Yes."
Guo Ning said: "It's not advisable to take the main road now. Could you please Mr. Du to see if there is any alley that can go around?"
Du Shisheng cheered up: "Yes, sir, please come with me. Let's go as fast as possible!"
The scholar Guo Ning remembered was so frightened that Guo Ning set fire to the imperial city of Zhongdu. He subconsciously shouted to stop, fearing to offend the evil tiger, so he took advantage of the stall where everyone was watching the fire in the imperial city, retreated continuously, and ran out of Li Xukai.
After retreating to the shop on the edge of the street and hiding behind two slanted door panels, the scholar breathed a sigh of relief.
The little baby was still held in his hand, looking at him with his round eyes.
The scholar pinched the little kid's red face and said softly: "Don't be anxious. When the matter is over, we will arrange for someone to find your family. After such a big incident, those thieves will leave soon. If they don't leave, they will be killed. Once the two doors are closed together, it’s really impossible to leave!”
Having said this, he shook his head again and again. Such a big event has happened in the city, but the Archguard Commander who is responsible for both the inner and outer city defenses has not responded yet, and has not even closed the city gate... It is extremely ridiculous. How can Dajin survive when there are such arrogant people in the court?
At this time, there was a rumble of hoofbeats on the street outside. It turned out that the armed guard brigade was lagging behind and finally caught up. After the team was reunited, there were still two to three hundred people, a large scale, and the leader was still Shan Jinshou.
This was originally a powerful army capable of catching thieves and receiving rewards for meritorious service, but the scholar could see clearly that all the soldiers looked ugly.
After all, these armed guards are not real battlefield warriors. They are all too smart. The more chaotic the situation in the city becomes, the more shaken each of them becomes. Because everyone has thought that the thieves who set the fire were forced into the city by them! Now that the palace is on fire, and the higher-ups are investigating, who knows, will they investigate the responsibility of the soldiers?
Damn it, if Judge Tudan hadn't come here on a whim, such a terrible thing would never have happened! Who knows what this Lord Judge is trying to achieve?
With the soldiers facing like this, it was inevitable that some would look askance at Tu Shan Jinshou. And Tu Shan Jinshou's mood naturally didn't get better either.
His face was heavy and his eyes were blood red. When he rode his horse past the scholar's eyes, the scholar saw it even more clearly. This fierce military general with outstanding martial arts gritted his teeth, and veins burst out on the back of the hand holding the sword. He was obviously extremely angry.
Seeing this situation, the scholar was a little embarrassed. He was originally ordered by his disciple Dan Yi to secretly inform his disciple Jinshou not to make the test too difficult, but in this situation, what kind of test is there to talk about?
This is obviously the evil tiger testing Tu Shan Jinshou, right? And apprentice Shan Jinshou failed the exam!
Alas, if you think about it carefully, not only is Tu Dan's golden life dependence ruined, Tu Dan Youcheng's calculation of "advancing or retreating is suitable" seems to be not so accurate either?
"Ahem..." The scholar couldn't help coughing a few times, thinking about whether there was any need to contact his disciple Shan Jinshou.
While he was coughing, several knights in robes came out from the alley on the opposite side of the road and rushed through the ranks of the armed guards in a swagger.
At this time, the city of Zhongdu was in chaos. The main street faced the palace city, and there were firelights and shadows swaying. The officers and soldiers of the armed guards were all preoccupied. They just thought that these knights were the messenger knights of which army they were, and didn't care.
However, when the knights passed by Tu Dan Jinshou not far away, the last knight suddenly stood up. The speed of the war horse galloped unabated, and when he stood up high in the stirrups, he was clearly waving an iron bone flower that was more than four feet long in his hand!
With Tu Shan Jinshou's battlefield experience and skills, he would never have been so negligent. But at the moment, he was full of anger, and his mind was full of thinking about how to explain to the two major forces in the DPRK... He really didn't react!
The whistling sound the Iron Bone Flower made in the air could be heard clearly by everyone within a few feet. Tu Danjinshou screamed, his left shoulder suddenly collapsed, and he fell upside down to the right and dismounted. The terrifying sound of the iron bone tearing apart flesh and blood and hitting bones, causing several bones to shatter, was simply breathtaking.
When the other soldiers of the Armed Guards came to their senses, the knights quickly ran away and disappeared into the Zhangyimen doorway!
The young scholar subconsciously retreated deeper into the store.
"Confused! Ridiculous! Stupid!" He cursed several times, not knowing who he was cursing.
After a while, he sighed again: "What an evil tiger!"
