Chapter 78 Chaos

Shouting late.

When Guo Ning was in the Feijunhe camp, he often regarded the young followers as his brothers and partners.But at the same time, he is the strictest leader and the most merciless general.

When the young servants are undergoing training, there are special requirements for the method of stacking the bedding, the placement of each belongings, and even the sitting posture when eating. Not the slightest difference.

Guo Ning hoped that the habit of obeying orders would be engraved in their bones, so that they would know that once the Lord gave an order, they would not be shaken even in the face of swords and flames.

And Ni Yi was appointed by Guo Ning as the leader of the young servants. The most important thing was that he never hesitated to execute Guo Ning's orders without any compromise.

Amidst the screams of Du Shisheng and the young scholar, Ni Yi rode his horse into a sprint, and then threw the burning copper lamp out forcefully!
Guo Ning laughed: "This kid is as accurate as he is, and his physical strength has improved!"

That's natural, Ni Yi is able to use a heavy iron ax as a weapon, and his strength is obviously higher than that of other congregations. These days, he eats well and trains hard, even Guo Ning may not be stronger than him in terms of brute force many.

So, Guo Ning raised his face, watching the exquisite lamp filled with kerosene draw a long arc in the air, hit the pillars of a high corridor of a certain turret, and shattered a large canopy of sparks.

Zhongdu is a place where the wealth of the world gathers. From Ximagou to the fish and algae pond, there are not only tall cabinets and huge shops, tea altars and wine shops, showing the magnificence of "ruizhu palaces facing Pengying", but also gardens with clouds, trees, dikes and sand. , there is no lack of wild charm of "stones make walls and bamboos reflect doors, water returns to mountains and restores a few peach gardens".

The restaurants and shops around Ximagou Bridge naturally know how to be arty.These shops hang ornate headlights by the river.The lamp itself is either made of gold and copper to show its brilliance; or it is made of high-quality Yaozhou porcelain to show its style.At night, the water light and the lights complement each other, which is really like the waves of the sky.

The lamps are all big lamps, and they contain a lot of lamp oil, which is not light.

With all his strength, Ni Yi threw all the five or six headlights hanging beside the saddle in one breath.The headlights jumped over the high wall one after another, some hit the high eaves, some smashed on the yellow and green glazed tiles, and rolled to the ground.

What a joy!Ni Yi wanted to laugh out loud, but his breath was stuck in his chest, he felt short of breath and his arms were sore.

He stopped, wiped the sweat from his brow, and looked at the stunned guard in front of him.

Those people are the subordinate officers of Zhongdu Police Patrol Academy.There were about thirty or fifty of them, and they were rushing out from a long row of houses at the foot of the outer wall of the imperial city, waving iron chains, iron rulers and the like in their hands.

Ordinarily, the task of these people is to police Zhongdu and prevent wandering people from approaching within ten feet of the imperial city of Zhongdu at will, but they never dreamed that such an absurd scene would suddenly occur in Zhongdu, which was originally peaceful.

There was a fat official who was dressed as a Jurchen with a gold ring on his ear, who came the latest and hadn't figured out what happened.While running, he tugged on his trousers and shouted in his mouth: "My boy, get off the horse quickly, don't make trouble!"

Ni Yi is taller than the average teenager, but his face hasn't grown yet, so he is still a teenager at a glance.The official yelled casually, but there was nothing wrong with it.

However, the faces of the other little officials turned pale, and they grabbed him and said: "Officer, look back!"

As soon as the fat man turned his head, he saw flames suddenly bursting out of the palace wall. The fire spread extremely fast, engulfing several buildings in the flames in an instant, sparking tongues of flame more than ten feet high, flying into the air!
This is a matter of course.Behind the palace wall, surrounded by the Hall of Supreme Harmony, are a series of exquisite palaces and pavilions built since Zhenyuan, such as Penglai Courtyard, Ruizhu Palace, Ruizhu Palace, Longhe Palace, Longhe Palace, and Xiangying Palace, all of which are exquisitely crafted. , and those complicated and gorgeous railings, sills, hooks and windows, flat chess caissons, and even layers of varnish paintings on the wood are all the easiest to be ignited!
In an instant, all the officials shouted wildly: "It's water!"

At this time, what's the use of shouting twice?

The flames soared up and burned everywhere with the help of the wind. Soon, the first building was covered by fire, followed by the second, and then the third, slowly connecting into pieces, with bright red flames and thick black smoke It rolled over, like some kind of huge monster, about to crawl out of the palace!

For a while, no one even paid attention to the culprit Ni Yi, and all the officials ran towards the palace.

Some of the houses close to the palace were offices for officials. At this time, some people rushed out, screaming in terror, beating gongs and drums, and pouring water into them through the high walls with utensils.

In the barracks farther away, drums, horns and gongs sounded loudly one after another. It was tens of thousands of military guards, bodyguards, and Weijie soldiers gathering in an emergency.

Of course, there are also timid people, holding soft packages of gold and silver in their hands, trying to stay away from the fire as soon as possible.

According to the Dajin Law, fire, arson and failure to put out fires are all felonies.During the Huangtong period, Yanjing caught fire, and Yousi pursued the responsibility, killing as many as 240 people in one go.At this time, the palace city was on fire, endangering the emperor's safety. If these people were to be held accountable in the future, they would probably lose their skin.

Ni Yi is a sensible person, so he hurried back.

He rode his horse to the top of the bridge and asked loudly, "How am I doing, sir?"

Guo Ning couldn't help but tugged at his short but hard mustache, and admired from the bottom of his heart: "It's really a fire!"

At this time, the sky was dim, and watching from the height of the bridge top, the fire became more and more frightening.And in the flames, countless figures gathered from all directions, their figures changed from small to large, from blurred to clear.Among them were firefighters, some ran and trampled in fear, and some were clearly troublemakers who took advantage of the fire to loot.

It seems that Zhongdu is really like a frightened bird, and there are too many people with ulterior motives in the city.This fire will soon lead to large-scale riots.

"This...how can this be done? Sir, this has alarmed all the defenders in the city!" Du Shisheng rushed up from under the bridge, yelling repeatedly.His riding skills were ordinary, but at this moment his stomach was turned upside down, he yelled twice, hugged the horse's neck tightly, panting endlessly.

Guo Ning noticed that the young scholar who was still beside Du Shisheng just now disappeared.This scholar is in danger, but he still wants to save others, his character is good.It would be a pity to die in this chaos.

The thought passed in a flash.In a world where ghosts cry and the wind blows, what is a scholar?
Guo Ning continued to look at the end of the road in the distance.

There are flags being erected one by one, and soldiers are forming a team under the flags.

There are quite a few of them, but they are not enough to be feared. It may not be enough for these soldiers to suppress the riots in the city.The central capital is in such chaos, how did it resist the Mongolian army's attack last year and the year before last?

Guo Ning really couldn't figure it out.

"Today's fire is enough to make the nobles in the city panic for a while, let's go!" Then, he turned his head and looked at the place he came from: "The nearest to us is the Zhangyi Gate, right?"

"Yes Yes."

Guo Ning said: "It's not suitable to take the main road now, please trouble Mr. Du to see if there is a detour around the alley?"

Du Shisheng cheered up: "Yes, sir, please follow me. Let's try our best!"

The scholar who was remembered by Guo Ning was terrified when he saw Guo Ning set fire to the imperial city of Zhongdu.He subconsciously blocked it with a loud voice, fearing that he would annoy the vicious tiger, so he took advantage of the time when everyone was watching the fire in the imperial city, backed up again and again, and ran away from Lixu.

After retreating to the shop on the edge of the street, hiding behind two slumped door panels, the scholar heaved a sigh of relief.

The little baby was still held in his arms, looking at him with round eyes.

The scholar pinched the little boy's flushed face, and said softly: "Don't worry, when the incident is over, we will arrange for someone to look for your family. If such a big incident happened, those culprits will leave soon. If you don't leave, ten Once the two doors are closed together, I really can't leave!"

Having said that, he shook his head again and again.Such a big event happened in the city, but the arch guard in charge of the inner and outer city defenses has not responded until now, even the city gates have not been closed... It is extremely absurd.There are so many people in the court, so how can Dajin survive?

At this time, hooves were rumbled on the street outside, it turned out that it was the Wuwei army brigade that was lagging behind, and finally caught up.After the team was regrouped, there were still 300 to [-] people, the scale was not small, and the team was led by Tu Dan Jinshou.

This is a powerful army capable of catching thieves and being rewarded for their meritorious deeds, but the scholar can see clearly that all the soldiers have ugly faces.

After all, these soldiers of the military guards are not real fighters on the battlefield.They are all too smart.The more chaotic the situation in the city, the more shaken each of them was.Because everyone thought of it, the thieves who set the fire were forced into the city by them!Right now the palace is on fire, the higher ups will pursue it, God knows if they will investigate the responsibility of the soldiers?

Damn, if Judge Tu Shan hadn't come to this place on a whim, such a terrible thing would never have happened!Who can know what this judge is planning?
As the soldiers thought about it, it was inevitable that some people would squint at Tu Dan Jinshou.And Tu Dan Jinshou's mood naturally couldn't get better.

His face was heavy, and his eyes were bloodshot.When he rode his horse and passed in front of the scholar, the scholar saw it even more clearly.This military general with outstanding martial arts, Ge Ge, gritted his teeth, and the veins on the back of the hand holding the sword exploded, obviously extremely angry.

Seeing this situation, the scholar was a little embarrassed.At the beginning, he was ordered by Tu Dan Yi to secretly inform Tu Shan Jinshou not to make the test too difficult, but in this situation, what test is there to talk about?

This is clearly the evil tiger that tested Tu Shan Jinshou, right?And Tu Dan Jinshou failed the exam!
Alas, thinking about it carefully, not only did Tu Dan Jinshou fail the exam, but Tu Dan Youcheng's calculation of "advance and retreat" seems to be not so accurate?

"Ahem..." The scholar couldn't help coughing a few times, wondering whether it was necessary to contact Tudan Jinshou.

At the same time as he was coughing, several knights in burqas crossed out from the lane on the opposite side of the road, swaggering past the queue of the military guards.

At this moment, the city of Zhongdu was in chaos, the main street was facing Miyagi, and there were still flames and shadows swaying.The soldiers of the military guards were all preoccupied, they only thought that these knights were the messenger knights of which department, and didn't care.

However, when those cavalry rushed past Tu Dan Jinshou not far away, the last knight suddenly stood up.The speed of the galloping horse did not slow down, and he stepped on the stirrup to stand tall, clearly waving the four-foot-long iron bone in his hand!

With Tu Dan Jinshou's battlefield experience and skills, he would never have been so negligent.But at the moment, he is full of anger, and his mind is full of thinking about how to explain to the two major forces in the court... He really didn't react!

The whistling sound of the Iron Guduo in the air can be heard clearly by everyone within a few feet.Tu Dan Jinshou let out a long scream, his left shoulder suddenly collapsed, and he fell off his horse headlong to the right.The terrifying sound of the iron bone tearing the flesh and hitting the bones, causing several bones to shatter was simply breathtaking.

And when the rest of the military guards reacted, those cavalry ran wildly, and saw their figures disappear into the opening of Zhangyimen again!

The young scholar retreated subconsciously to the depths of the shop.

"Stupid! Absurd! Stupid!" He cursed several times, but he didn't know who he was cursing.

After a while, he sighed again: "What a vicious tiger!"
