Li Qitian's good mood lasted all day. When I camped at night, I was in a good mood and ate four scones with meat. I told Xiong Jinshui about the days when I was leading soldiers to fight, and I couldn't even drink hot water. I heard Xiong Jinshui's moving sighs. It is not easy to start a country on a saint.
It's just that when he woke up in the middle of the night, his good mood was gone.
An orange fire outside the tent has ignited a corner of the snow-white tent, and the air is filled with scorch gas from the burning. Li Qitian rolled over and sat up, grabbed the whip and the sword, and rushed towards Zhang Shui.
"Get out of the water! Help me!" In front of the tent, Xiong Jinshui didn't even notice that the Sage had gotten up, and he was still screaming for help, his sharp voice was hoarse.
Li Qitian kicked Xiong Jinshui's butt: "Stop screaming. Go out with me." He immediately took Xiong Jinshui by the collar and took the person out.
In the end, it was the founding emperor who immediately attacked the country. Compared with the weak emperors who have been sitting in the country for many years, it is naturally different. A small fire can't shock him at all.
The air outside the tent was not much fresh, and even the tent was on fire. The flames startled the war horses. The horses were tied and could not escape.
Some soldiers rushed to save their horses, while others panicked to fetch water to put out the fire.
In front of Li Qitian's tent, Pang Xiao limped and led people to direct the firefighting. With his back to Li Qitian, he naturally couldn't see that people had broken out. After taking it, a copper basin of cold water brought by Ma Cheng poured it over his head. , turned around and thought about rushing into the tent, and ended up bumping into Li Qitian face to face, almost knocking someone into the tent.
Li Qitian was hit on the chest by Pang Xiao, and he couldn't breathe for a moment, and his eyes turned black for a while. If it wasn't for Xiong Jinshui's push on his back, he almost lay down.
As soon as Pang Xiao raised his head, his wet hair was still dripping with water. When he saw that Li Qitian was safe, he immediately shouted happily, "Brother! Are you alright!"
In a hurry, even the sage didn't know how to call, so he called the big brother directly.
Seeing that Pang Xiao was still wearing a white bedclothes, his body was soaking wet, and he was so embarrassed, but he was trying to rush in to save him. Heart? In particular, his "big brother" evoked a lot of the past. Their brothers supported each other and saved each other's lives to achieve today's prosperity and wealth. After so many hardships have been supported, why can't they share wealth and honor now
Li Qitian sighed and stood up straight with the help of Xiong Jinshui and Pang Xiao.
"I'm fine."
"That's great!" Ma Cheng cheered, and then said: "The fire suddenly ignited, and the prince's tent burned down. He rushed out and came to rescue him. Fortunately, the saints are blessed by heaven. It's just that this fire came from It's really weird."
There was chaos in the camp. Soldiers rushed to save the horses, some went to the stream to fetch water to put out the fire, and some even took off their coats and carried water to put out the fire. Guys are not enough, it can only be done like this.
Li Qitian was holding the sword and whip, and there were people on the left and right, so he felt a lot more at ease.
Thinking of what Jingang said about the fire dragon, and seeing that the large camps are now shrouded in fire and smoke, my heart is filled with disgust.
He is the Son of Heaven and is blessed by God. Naturally, this fire will not start because of him. What God warns is completely nonsense!
"Someone must have set fire to it!" Li Qitian said gloomily, "Give it to me!"
"Yes!" Ma Cheng clasped his fists.
Tang Xiu took a robe and put it on Pang Xiao: "My lord, your injury is still not healed. You are still having a fever on the road, so please be careful."
Pang Xiao was soaked all over and shivered coldly, but he insisted on his face: "It's okay."
Li Qitian remembered the affection of the year, and his heart softened, "Zhixi, you go and change your clothes first."
"Your Highness, I'm fine. I'm strong and healthy."
Li Qitian frowned, "If you fall ill, who will escort you? You won't listen to my will?"
Pang Xiao stalked his neck and wanted to argue, but in the end he was still unconvinced and shut his mouth, and went to follow Tang Xiu to find clothes to change.
Li Qitian inevitably thinks that Pang Xiao was jumping high in front of him and arguing with him that day. At that time, he was so disrespectful and looked hateful. Today, he is still suspected of resisting the decree, but he can't get angry. .
Maybe he really thinks too much
Thinking about it carefully, it was because of that one sentence from Tian Jizi that made him feel grumpy and gradually alienated Pang Xiao.
However, thinking of the people's evaluation of Pang Xiao, the love and respect of the people for Pang Xiao mentioned in the secret report, the most important thing is to think of how many men in the imperial army admired Pang Xiao. Li Qitian felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
If Pang Xiao had the heart of rebellion, he would not need the tiger talisman when dispatching troops and horses. When people stood in front of the camp, they would respond with a shout. There used to be only a Tiger Ben army like this, and now the Pingnan army is also obedient to him.
Such a powerful and well-known person, his voice is even higher than himself.
Regardless of whether he has any remorse, as long as this person exists, it will always be a threat to his throne.
Thinking of this, Li Qitian's heart became hard again after being rescued.
He does not care about himself, and the world will be punished. He is just trying to protect the throne, and he is afraid of sworn brothers. It is not like those brothers who killed each other in the previous dynasty. What's wrong with him
While contemplating, Li Qitian had been escorted to a spacious and quiet place by the stream.
Pang Xiao also changed his clothes, but because the fire was so urgent, all the luggage he brought was burnt to ashes, and at this time he was wearing a coarse short brown cloth borrowed from a soldier at random.
Pang Xiao's entourage and guards were standing in the distance with their horses, and the frightened horse was still in a state of arrogance.
Li Qitian looked at Pang Xiao's appearance, and turned to look for Lu Heng around.
"Where's Uncle Zhongyi?"
Pang Xiao was taken aback by the question, "Your Highness, this minister did not see Uncle Zhongyi."
"Go back to the saint, the slaves have never seen Uncle Zhongyi." Xiong Jinshui and Pang Xiao said in unison.
Li Qitian frowned.
Ma Cheng immediately asked, "Could it be... Uncle Zhongyi and his wife didn't escape?"
This time the horse was panicking. He immediately rushed to Lu Heng's tent.
However, the tent had been burned to ashes at this time, but no corpses were seen inside, nor were there any figures of Uncle Zhongyi and his family in the crowd.
Ma Cheng's face turned dark, and he reported the matter to Li Qitian.
Li Qitian's heart aroused, and he said solemnly: "The carriage and horses to see Uncle Zhongyi are still there!"
Ma Cheng obeyed his orders, and immediately found out that Bo Zhongyi's carriage was still there, but the horse pulling the carriage was no longer there, and Bo Zhongyi's entourage and his family were no longer here.
Li Qitian gritted his teeth and sneered: "What a Lu Heng!"
