The place where the fire broke out was formally interviewed by the palace. Gao Qi also added some gunpowder into it. It was burning, and the fire was extremely intense. The blazing flames made half of the sky red. The palace was already in chaos, and countless maids and servants, holding wooden buckets and basins and clear water, hurried to the place where the fire started. run somewhere.
Xu Zhen led thousands of soldiers to break open the gate of the palace, and everyone armed with weapons, rushed in murderously. The maids and servants in the palace had never seen such a scene, and suddenly screamed in shock, throwing away the bucket in their hands Basin, scattered and fled.
"Brothers, pay attention, the situation is urgent, first save the prince and the princesses, and then put out the fire!" Xu Zhen shouted, and all the soldiers agreed, throwing the log water dragon in their hands on the ground, like a rushing river, towards the fire. The inner house of the palace rushed away.
"You, what are you doing?" A fat butler in silk hurriedly blocked the entrance of the inner house, his body was shaking, and he shouted in a high-pitched voice: "You are so brave, are you planning to rebel? Do you know that? What is this inner house? This is the residence of the prince and the princes and concubines. It is the house bestowed by the former emperor. How can you allow you rough people to run wild here. You will retreat quickly, and I will beg in front of the prince. Love, forgive me and others. If not, my prince will definitely report to the emperor and punish you for the crime of beheading."
The fat butler was spitting and screaming, Xu Zhen flashed a long knife in his hand, and shouted fiercely: "Bold, this general came to the palace to fight the fire, just to help the prince and prevent him from being harmed by a traitor. Why are you obstructing here? Could it be that you are in the same group as the thieves who set the fire on fire? All the soldiers obey my general's order and quickly enter the house. Protect the prince and princess, and those who violate the law will be dealt with by military law!"
"Protect the lord, protect the lord!" Shouting slogans, more than a thousand soldiers rushed into the inner house, and no one knew who stretched out a foot, hitting the fat butler's ass.
The fat butler let out a scream, and couldn't help but rushed forward a few steps. He fell to the ground. He hurriedly turned his head, and saw cold knives and guns, and polished armor all over the place. His aura was no joke. He didn't dare to talk too much, he hurriedly covered his fallen front teeth, and retracted his head.
The palace was full of fires and military disasters. The chaos became a pot of porridge, and the maids and servants didn't have the heart to put out the fire. Some bravely took money and treasures and fled for their lives. Fang rushed to the door and was forced to come back. The banners are flying around the palace, the horses are neighing, countless soldiers have already surrounded the place into an iron bucket, and even a basin of water can't be poured out.
Borrowed by the wind, the fire grew stronger and stronger, and gradually spread to the courtyard and the inner house. The beams and walls outside the courtyard slowly collapsed, causing countless exclamations. The screams and the sound of help rang out together.
"Bold—" Xu Zhen led the men and horses, and just when they broke into the garden of the inner house, they heard a majestic shout, and hundreds of strong men appeared in front of them. Dao Jian, with bright eyes, looked at Xu Zhen and others with a very sturdy expression.
"Who are you, dare to break into the inner house of the palace at night? What, are you really going to rebel?!" In front of hundreds of strong men, stood a 40-year-old Confucian scholar, with a white face and beardless, long gown fluttering. His expression was arrogant and cold. He stared coldly at Xu Zhen and the others.
"I am Xu Zhen, the commander-in-chief of the city defense government. I heard that someone set fire to the palace, endangering the lives of the prince and the princesses. I came here to arrest you. Who are you? You are the ones who endanger the palace?! Come on, quickly take these thieves to me!" Xu Zhen sneered, waved his big hand, and the formation of the officers and soldiers, which had been prepared for a long time, turned around, and hundreds of archers lined up in front of them. Before the battle, just waiting for his order, he will shoot everyone in front of him into holes.
"Xu Zhen, the chief soldier of the city defense?" The Confucian scholar sneered and said, "You are so brave, you dare to pretend to be the chief soldier of the city defense. The chief soldier of the city defense yamen, Mr. Yu Hangyu, is a disciple of the prince, and Gu knows him very well. , When did you change to your brat again?"
Xu Zhen said in a deep voice: "The emperor issued an order at noon today to transfer Lord Yuhang to Shandong for another appointment. I will temporarily act as the city defense commander. Why, do you want to show this imperial order to you? Who are you?" ?!"
"Who am I?!" The Confucian scholar laughed loudly, opened the folding fan in his hand, and looked very arrogant: "Gu has no official name, just a small scholar, loved by the emperor and the prince, and occasionally can go to the inner courtyard of the palace. Drop by, the Holy One will also call me Brother Bingyan."
Gu Bingyan? Xu Zhen has been with Hu Bugui since he was a child. Although he is quick-witted and flexible, he doesn't read much, and he doesn't know much about the name. A staff general beside him hastily whispered a few words in his ear. Surprised: "You, you are Master Gu's son Gu Shunzhang?!"
Gu Bingyan said proudly: "My father's name is taboo, even the emperor dare not say it lightly, such a yellow-haired boy, how dare you be so presumptuous."
"Xian'er, this surname is Gu Di, what is his background?" Seeing Xu Zhen's troubled expression, which seemed hesitant, Lin Wanrong asked Miss Qin beside him. The two of them sat in the sedan chair outside the garden, leaning against the corner On the side, I heard the conversation inside clearly.
Qin Xian'er smiled and said: "Master, are you not my big Chinese, why don't you even know about this Gu family father and son?!"
Speaking of which, do you have to know that the surname is Gu Di to be regarded as a big Chinese? He chuckled a few times, lowered his voice and said: "Is this Gu Bingyan, I met him when I went to the Spring Festival a while ago, and he was with me at that time By Zhao Kangning's side, I don't know what his identity is—"
"Traveling in spring?" Qin Xian'er's bright red mouth beeped slightly, and hummed: "Who did you go to spring with, why didn't you tell me?!"
For a while, Lin Wanrong let out a word, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not spring, I'm following your father's secret decree to carry out a top-secret mission. It's really top-secret, it's about my Dahua Honor and disgrace, even if you kill me, I can’t say it!”
"What secret decree? What top-secret mission?!" Qin Xian'er snorted angrily: "Isn't it just a decree to seduce a girl—"
Lin Wanrong gave her a horrified look: "You, how do you know?!"
"If you don't want others to know, unless you don't do it yourself." Miss Qin angrily punched him lightly on the arm: "When Qiaoqiao washed your clothes, she picked out that secret decree a long time ago. We have all read it. To seduce a girl by order, I am so angry, how can the father make such a decree?!"
No way! Lin Wanrong sighed, thinking to save some space, but now it will be fine, and it will become a secret that everyone knows.
Xian'er grabbed his hand and said in annoyance: "What did you and that little palace maid in Korea do?! Those wild girls, you, you can't—"
"Can't what?" Lin Wanrong said, seeing Xian'er's face turned red and her expression faltered.
Miss Qin's pretty face was dyed with clouds, and she snorted, and her bright red mouth was really cute: "—I can't give her rain and dew!"
I am. This girl really dares to say anything. Lin Wanrong laughed, touched her buttocks, and teased: "Your husband and I have enough rain and dew. If you don't give it to her, who will you give it to? "
"Shi Shi—I hate it!" Qin Xian'er's skin finally became a little thinner, and she laughed so hard at his words that she didn't dare to ask about that girl anymore.
Asking this girl to interrupt, she almost forgot the business. Lin Wanrong hurriedly said: "Little boy, tell me who this surname is Gu. Look at that cowhide's coquettish appearance, he is more arrogant than me!"
Qin Xian'er smiled and hummed: "Even if it's not as good as yours, it's not much worse. The Gu family father and son are the most famous scholars in the world—"
Great Confucianism? ! Lin Wanrong smiled, I am known as the star of Confucianism, such a great Confucianist, I don't know how many people have been knocked down by me.
Miss Qin seemed to see through his thoughts, and hurriedly said: "If it's an ordinary scholar, then it's fine. It's just that Mr. Gu Shunzhang's identity is extraordinary. He is the emperor teacher respected by everyone in my Dahua!"
The emperor's teacher? ! Be good, this is a big deal. Lin Wanrong stuck out her tongue secretly, and heard Xian'er continue: "Old Mr. Gu Shunzhang, he is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he teaches and educates people with supreme virtue. He is called Mr. Wujue! He is the same as my emperor. My grandfather was invincible. The emperor relied heavily on him, and even entrusted him with the important task of educating the prince. My father and King Cheng are both his disciples. Mr. Gu is very strict in teaching and educating people. My father is young At that time, he even touched his floor, and his father also respected Mr. Gu very much. Every time he visited him personally, he first performed the courtesy of the monarch and minister, and then the gift of the teacher and student. He never dared to forget. This matter has long been rumored by the people. For a good story!"
Master Tian Di Jun, even if the emperor sees the teacher, he must obey the rules. He nodded and said: "Then what is going on with Gu Bingyan?! He should not be the emperor teacher!"
Qin Xian'er hummed: "Although Gu Bingyan is not the emperor's master, his identity is not the same either.
General. He is the only son of Mr. Gu, and he has been favored by the emperor's ancestors. He has been studying with his father and King Cheng since he was a child. Although he is not a knight, he can be called half a prince, and his father will call him Bingyan brother! "
It turned out that this was the case, and Lin Wanrong was stunned when he heard it. The arrangement was pretty good, but Gu Bingyan came out of nowhere. Although this kid has no official position, he is an out-and-out real power faction. With his father covering him, even the emperor can't easily deal with him, let alone Xu Zhen!
On the other side, Xu Zhen also knew Gu Bingyan's true identity after thinking about it. This is an immovable hard bone, which can't be touched or touched, which makes him in a dilemma.
Seeing the embarrassment on the young commander's face, Gu Bingyan laughed arrogantly: "A small city defense commander dares to come to the palace to act wildly. Wouldn't it be a joke for the world to spread the word?! I will stand for the emperor and the prince today. , Discipline and discipline you, this unruly bastard. Come on. Strip off his armor, and send him to the Ministry of War—”
Before the words fell, I heard a giggling voice from outside: "Is anyone there? Is anyone at home?!"
Gu Bingyan was taken aback when he heard this, who dared to call the door like that when he came to Prince Cheng's mansion. Seeing that Gu Bingyan had calmed down the scene, the fat master immediately regained his strength, got up from the ground, shook his head and sang, "Who is making noise? Don't die-"
With a crisp "pop", the cheeks of the fat butler suddenly swelled up, and the few remaining teeth flew far away. A wolf-like guard stood in front of him: "You dog, you are blind!" Dog eyes, how dare you disrespect the princess and Master Lin!"
A charming woman in a yellow shirt with a beautiful face pushed a new wheelchair and walked in slowly. Sitting on the wheelchair was a young man with a playful smile and gauze all over his body.
"Little brother Lin San, I'm here to pay my respects to the lord!" Lin Wanrong clasped her fists and shouted with a smile.
Gu Bingyan's face changed drastically, and he stared at him closely: "You, you are Lin San? You are not dead—"
"You're just dead!" Qin Xian'er scolded and snorted coldly. Even though Gu Bingyan was the son of the emperor's master, how could he be able to defeat this royal princess with pure blood, so he said ah and kept silent.
"Hey, who is this old man? It looks familiar. Oh, I remembered, you are Mr. Gu, we met outside the city that time." Lin Wanrong smiled and said, "I'm sorry for your concern. I thought I was There is no doubt that I will die, but when I arrived in the underworld, Lord Yan said that my life was not over. There were still 80 years of Qingfu to enjoy, so he beat me back again. I am ashamed, ashamed."
Seeing him putting on airs, Gu Bingyan couldn't help snorting coldly, and said with a smirk: "Master Lin is so lucky, Mr. Gu wishes you a long life!"
"Acceptance, acquiescence." Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Little brother came back to life after death, and I have a lot of feelings, especially the lord's care for the younger brother, so I came to visit him in the starry night to repay his old man's kindness. Hey, where is the lord, is the lord at home? !"
Gu Bingyan laughed: "My lord burned incense and prayed for the late emperor in the Xiangguo Temple. Doesn't Mr. Lin know about it?"
Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh: "Really? I just came back from the dead, so I don't know. You said that the prince is in Xiangguo Temple, Mr. Gu. Are you sure?"
Seeing Lin San's eyes burning, with a half smile but not a smile, Gu Bingyan hesitated for a moment as if he was grasping something, and immediately dared not answer.
Lin San nodded casually, and said to himself: "No wonder Mr. Gu wants to burn the palace to warm up. It turns out that the prince is not at home!"
"What did you say?!" His voice was low, but it was clearly audible. When Gu Bingyan saw him holding the shit bowl on himself, he immediately became angry.
"Is what I said wrong?" Lin Wanrong laughed blankly: "The fire in the palace is raging, Mr. Gu, you don't care whether you ask or tell, and you want to prevent others from putting out the fire. Don't you want to warm up?"
