Firecrackers and fireworks were both national gifts sent by Nanchen envoys.
Among them, firecrackers accounted for the majority, accounting for four-fifths of the total.
The sound of a string of firecrackers is indeed quite loud, but compared to the entire palace city and imperial city, the sound of a string of firecrackers is insignificant.
In order to achieve a lively and festive effect, Nalan Festival once ordered that all the places in the imperial city and palace city where firecrackers can be hung should be hung.
When he gives the order, the entire imperial city can be lit with firecrackers at the same time...
The firecrackers and the fireworks set off in the distance are deafening. It will be extremely lively and festive, enough to achieve the desired effect.
Sure enough, the actual effect far exceeded expectations!
The fireworks in the night sky were gorgeous, one after another. When the flowers were in full bloom, in addition to the sound, there was also a brief strong light that illuminated the earth and illuminated the slightly tilted faces of everyone in the hall.
Including Nalan Jie and Nalan Yan, most people had shocked expressions on their faces, with faint smiles on their lips, immersed in the excitement and hustle and bustle.
The crackling of firecrackers is as dense as raindrops, coming from the front, left, right and back, from all directions, one after another, continuously.
This continuous loud noise came like an overwhelming force, and it was so powerful that no one could avoid it, causing a lasting shock in their hearts.

After a few breaths, Su Xian observed that wisps of white smoke gradually rose over the imperial city. This was a normal effect caused by many firecrackers exploding at the same time.
But because there are so many firecrackers, more and more white smoke rises up and gathers into fog. It looks like an early spring morning, filled with mist...
The Imperial City is brightly lit tonight, and the light of the fire is reflected in the sky... Oh no, the light of the fire is reflected on the "mist" above the Imperial City.
This causes the "mist" in the sky to be brilliant, vague, and colorful. It looks like the gorgeous morning glow, with a strange beauty.
Su Xian knew in his heart that a shocking change was about to happen!
With so many firecrackers exploding at the same time, and the fireworks being set off in the distance, the air must be filled with the smell of sulfur.
In the entire palace city, the imperial city, and even most areas of Yacheng, no one will be spared, and the poison in the body will be triggered!
This time it was really coming... Su Xian took a deep breath and suppressed the excitement and nervousness in his heart.
Then he glanced sideways and looked at Nalan Yan opposite.
He originally thought that Nalan Yan would also turn around and look at him. After all, this time was the real beginning, unlike the previous times.
However, Nalanyan remained unmoved. She tilted her head slightly and stared at the fireworks in the distant night sky. The candlelight and the light from the fireworks hit her face, which made her look strangely beautiful.
Could this hot girl forget about business just to watch the fireworks? Su Xian frowned slightly, he didn't like this feeling of unreliability.
At this time, Su Xian's heart suddenly moved, because he heard keenly that the dense sound of firecrackers was actually mixed with some... screams.
ah……
Not only Su Xian heard it, but most of the people in the Dazheng Palace were not spared either, including Nalan Jie who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Before everyone could react, screams and wails began to be heard in the hall!
Su Xian hurriedly held his breath and glanced away. In this wave alone, more than ten people fell down at the same time, knocking over the small table in front of him, which fell to the ground with a series of banging sounds.
At the same time, the fruit plate, teapot, teacup and other porcelain on the low table also shattered on the ground, making clanging sounds.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of people fell down at the same time. Some knocked over the small table in front of them, and some lay on the short table, swaying this way and that.
Among them were the envoys of Tibet and Shu, etc. These two people looked really alike!
Su Xian was always prepared. When he smelled a hint of sulfur in his nose, he also collapsed, pretending to be in a toxic attack, and lay sideways on the short table.
At the same time, he found that Nalan Yan, who was opposite her, also acted very similar, and she didn't seem to be cheating... Fortunately, this hot girl didn't miss the fireworks because of her greed.
"You...I..."
Above Dan Majesty, Nalan Jie, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, was naturally also caught in the trick.
He only said a few words and then collapsed on the armrest of the dragon chair. He was extremely shocked. What happened? The civil and military forces of the entire dynasty were like this. Wouldn't the country of Liao collapse?
A feeling called "despair" emerged from his heart and spread quickly throughout his body, making his scalp numb, cold sweat suddenly breaking out on his forehead, and his heart feeling heavy.
He shouted with all his strength and roared angrily, but it was useless.
Because he felt weak all over, he didn't even have much energy to speak, so his voice was naturally not loud.
Furthermore, the firecrackers that resounded throughout the imperial city had not yet ended and were still crackling and exploding. Under such loud noises, his voice could only be heard by himself.
At this time, a very strange scene was going on at the same time inside and outside the Dazheng Palace, the entire palace city, the entire imperial city, and even most of the Ya City——
The festive firecrackers were still crackling, and the fireworks in the distant night sky were still blooming one after another. However, there was not a single person standing in the entire imperial city!
There was a pile lying on the ground, scattered and scattered.
But these people did not die immediately. They all still had their eyes open, which looked very strange.
After more than ten breaths.
Finally, the dense sound of firecrackers like raindrops gradually disappeared.
In fact, it is impossible to set off only one round of firecrackers, there will be more than ten rounds later, but the people who lit the fuses lay down on the ground, and the sound of firecrackers naturally stopped.
Only the fireworks in the distant night sky were still going off, banging, banging, banging, like loud slaps in the face, hitting everyone's face, burning and hurting.
From time to time, strong light illuminates the messy Dazheng Palace, like lightning.
However, although the sound of fireworks is also loud, it is still not as good as the sound of dense raindrops of firecrackers, and the human voice can be heard clearly.
Nalanjie was holding his breath. When he saw this, he immediately shouted and asked: "What's going on? Is there anyone else who can move? Who on earth is... who is doing this!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty...I don't know..."
The ministers replied sparsely. Some of them were lying on the ground, and some were lying on low tables. They were leaning crookedly and did not look like ministers at all.
At this time, a rough voice sounded: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with us? We are so weak that we can't move. Could it be that... Your Majesty has poisoned us?"
Su Xian could tell that it was the voice of a Tibetan envoy.
This guy, let’s beat him up! This is it!
Everyone was indeed poisoned, but wasn’t this poison administered by your Tibetan envoys?
What a weird thing!
"Presumptuous..." The Tibetan envoy kept talking, even if someone scolded him: "Have you already been poisoned without seeing your Majesty? How can you poison yourself?"
"Yes, look, none of the guards standing guard outside the palace are standing guard. This matter seems a bit suspense..." Someone else said worriedly.
"So, we have all been poisoned? Then who poisoned us?" the Tibetan envoy asked loudly.
Naturally, no one answered his question.
As for Su Xian and Nalan Yan, they were speechless at this trick of shouting and catching thieves, and had nothing to say for a moment.
Of course, the fundamental reason why they remained silent was to avoid alerting others, so that the masterminds behind the scenes could take the initiative to come forward.
After a while of silence in the hall, Nalanjie's voice came from above again: "Your Majesty, please don't worry. Since this happened in the Liao Kingdom, I will find out the truth and give you a reasonable explanation!"
"Your Majesty is wise."
The various ministers shouted in unison.
Although the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom sang in harmony on the surface and felt like they were in court, in fact they were anxious and hesitant in their hearts. What was going on?
unknown.
However, they clearly understood that the Liao Kingdom was probably doomed, and the country of the Liao Kingdom was probably hopeless. For many people present, today might be their death anniversary next year!
Although I don't want to believe it, the facts are right in front of me.
The person who planned all this is really brave and careful. How did he poison everyone? No one noticed.
Even Nalanjie himself was at a loss for words.
The monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom were so easily manipulated, which showed how powerful the opponent was. Not only was it powerful, but it was also unknown. The unknown was the most frightening thing.
As for the guards, eunuchs, maids, etc. in the palace, they were even scared to death... The Liao Kingdom was really going to end, and the situation in the world would also completely change!
"Hahahahahaha..."
At this time, a burst of hearty laughter resounded throughout the hall.
Su Xian lay on the short table and raised his eyebrows fiercely. He knew in his heart that the first mastermind behind the scenes had taken the initiative to show up!
He was lying sideways on the low table, his sight covering most of the hall. He raised his eyes and saw, as expected, that the Tibetan envoy was laughing and getting up slowly.
"You...why can you still stand up?" Many ministers also witnessed this scene with their own eyes because of their posture and angle, with shock in their tone.
"Envoy of Tibet!" Nalanjie leaned on the armrest of the dragon chair, facing the entire hall, so he also saw this scene, and his expression suddenly changed on the spot.
"It turns out you poisoned us..."
Everyone gradually realized that they were all unable to move. Only the Tibetan envoy could stand up, which was enough to explain the problem.
Those who had never seen this scene due to the posture and angle could make some guesses about the current situation through the conversations among the people.
The Tibetan envoy actually poisoned everyone, from the Liao Emperor to the palace maids and eunuchs. What on earth did he want to do? !
"Yes, it was indeed me who poisoned you!"
The Tibetan envoy admitted frankly.
His stubble-covered face was filled with a proud and relaxed smile. He stepped forward and walked freely in the open space in the middle of the hall, while looking up and looking wildly.
Looking at him like this, he feels as if he is at home, very casual.
"Envoys of Tibet, I, the Liao Kingdom, had no grudges against you in the past and have no grudges today..." Nalanjie looked heavy, stopped to take a few breaths, and then continued:
"I have never treated you harshly...but why did you do such a vicious thing...what exactly do you want to do?"
"You will know what I want to do later." The Tibetan envoy put his hands on his hips, his back to Nalan Festival, and he was looking up at a decoration on the palace door.
"You are presumptuous!" Some of the ministers were furious.
The Tibetan envoy still turned his back to Nalanjie and said with a smile: "I am just being presumptuous, what can you do to me? Hahahahahaha..."
The monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom were so angry that one Buddha left his body and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. The king must not be insulted. The words and deeds of the Tibetan envoy were really too much. In normal times, this person's fate would be terrible!
But now...eh!
The monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom could only sigh.
The situation is stronger than the people, so what can they do?
At this time, a minister shouted loudly:
"Your Majesty, please don't be afraid. He is only one person. Even if he carefully planned this conspiracy, he is only one person after all. One person's power is limited. Waiting for the forbidden army outside the city..."
Before they finished speaking, everyone heard the sound of neat, trotting footsteps coming from outside, getting closer and closer!
Judging from the momentum, there were about twenty people.
The minister was immediately overjoyed and shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty...Have you heard your Majesty? Our people are coming to rescue us. Our people are here!"
When the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom saw this, they were really relieved. Although they didn't know what kind of poison was in their bodies, as long as they could capture the Tibetan envoys, they should have no problem in extracting the antidote.
In this way, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom waited in anticipation for a while. Finally, the footsteps approached, and a group of people broke into the hall directly, and the light in the hall dimmed.
However, it was also at this moment that the hopeful smiles on their faces solidified for an instant, and finally disappeared suddenly, and their expressions returned to heavy.
Even heavier than before!
What did they see?
It turned out that the twenty people who broke into the hall were not palace guards or forbidden troops, but... subordinates of the Tibetan envoy!
The clothes they wore and the way they were dressed said it all.
What is this if not a Dabo?
"My subordinates are late, please punish me!" Twenty people stood in two rows and saluted the Tibetan envoy. Their movements were uniform and they looked extremely tough.
"Well, you came just in time, no need for punishment!" The Tibetan envoy waved his hand, and then asked: "How is the situation on the road?"
"Reporting to your lord, when I heard the sound of firecrackers, I set off from the post house. I didn't meet anyone who was still standing on the way. The journey was smooth!"
"good!"
The Tibetan envoy immediately turned around and stared at Nalan Jie on the dragon chair, his eyes seeming to sparkle.
In an instant, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom were so heartbroken that they could not move. However, the Tibetan envoys actually had twenty helpers. How could this be fun? Now it’s completely over!
Su Xian was lying on the low table, just in time to see the shining eyes of the Tibetan envoy, and his heart tightened slightly. Could this guy want to kill the Liao Emperor?
If this is the case, the situation is not good, because Su Xian firmly believes that there must be someone behind the scenes who has not shown up!
For example...an envoy from the Kingdom of Shu!
Fortunately, the Tibetan envoy quickly looked away and no longer stared at Nalanjie eagerly. Instead, he looked in one direction and said calmly:
"Your Majesty, we have the situation under control, why are you pretending to be poisoned?"
The second mastermind behind the scenes is about to come out... Su Xian subconsciously looked at the Shu envoy.
Since the words of the Tibetan envoys contained the word "noble envoy", the second behind-the-scenes envoy was locked among the envoys from various countries and the special envoys from the Western Regions.
However, a scene that surprised Su Xian happened.
The envoy from Shu had been lying on the low table, motionless. On the contrary, the envoy from Nanchu stood up, patted his clothes, and walked up to the envoy from Tibet.
