At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 414 Fire
In the Sui Dynasty, there was no Qintianjian, but there was a Taishijian, whose functions were similar to those of the Qintianjian, responsible for observing celestial phenomena, formulating calendars, calculating solar terms, divination, and so on.

Most of the government offices of administrative agencies are located in Dongcheng, but the Taishijian is special. It happens to be located in Lidefang next to Yujifang, and there is a star observatory to watch the stars.

After Angata was taken away from the Qianyang Hall by the Feiyu Guard, he was sent directly to the Taishijian's Observation Tower and locked up. The wounds on his legs were also bandaged to prevent him from bleeding to death.

At this moment, there are only An Jiatuo and Xiao Jian, the deacon of Feiyuwei, in the Star Observation Tower. The former has disheveled hair, a strange smile on his face, and his eyes staring at Xiao Jian: "Why do you bring the poor here?" for?"

Xiao Jian said indifferently: "If the demons play tricks in front of this deacon again, this deacon doesn't mind stabbing two more holes in your legs."

Angata was also sensible. He suppressed his smile, lowered his eyes and ignored Xiao Jian. A trace of contempt flashed in the latter's eyes, and he said indifferently: "Within three days, find out who the Emperor Li is, otherwise you will die." , this is what the emperor meant, understand?"

Angata said angrily: "Pindao risked being sent by heaven to leak the secret, and the emperor treats him like this?"

Xiao Jian sneered and said: "That proves that what you leaked is really a secret, otherwise why would the emperor treat you, a liar, with courtesy."

Angata stared at Xiao Jian, and said for a long time: "Three days are too short, and the poor will take seven days. During this period, no one can come up to disturb the poor."

"No problem, I will send someone to deliver the food and water downstairs, and you can pick them up yourself." Xiao Jian turned around and went downstairs, sent several Feiyu guards downstairs, and left.

…………

Gao Bufan and Yu Juluo drank until the afternoon in a restaurant, both of them were slightly drunk, when they left the restaurant, Yu Juluo put Gao Bufan's shoulders and said: "Little Brother Gao, although Da Sui It seems to be precarious, but the foundation is still strong, and it is absolutely impossible to fall. Don't look at those thieves who are getting more and more arrogant. As long as the emperor makes up his mind to eliminate them, the army will surely pass, and the momentum is as strong as Yang Xuangan, so what? The room was wiped out.

So don't listen to any nonsense prophecies and nursery rhymes. On the contrary, now is a good time for a man to make contributions. Those so-called volunteer soldiers are just a bunch of heads and a piece of credit in the eyes of a certain family.

A certain family will lead troops to the south of the Yangtze River to wipe out Liu Yuanjin's gang in Biri. If Brother Gao, you are willing to take the post of Yingyang Lang in Zhuojun County, a certain family will request an order to second you to go out with the army tomorrow. , Brother Gao will definitely be able to go one step further, and maybe he will be promoted to the general of Zhuwei Mansion. "

Obviously, this is the purpose of Yu Juluo's initiative to invite Gao Bufan to have a meal. He wants to draw Gao Bufan to work under his command and go to the south of the Yangtze River to destroy Liu Yuanjin together.

By the way, this Liu Yuanjin is from Yuhang, he is a knight-errant who fights righteousness, and is quite famous in the local area. In early June of this year, after Yang Xuangan rebelled against the Sui Dynasty in Liyang Cang, Liu Yuanjin also took the opportunity to gather troops to respond, and in just over a month, he gathered tens of thousands of troops.

Liu Yuanjin originally planned to lead his army north to respond to Yang Xuangan, but news of Yang Xuangan's defeat came before he crossed the Yangtze River.Liu Yuanzheng felt that there was no time. Zhu Xie from Wujun and Guan Chong from Jinning also rebelled, claiming to be generals, and attacked Jiangdong. Liu Yuanjin was overjoyed and immediately sent someone to contact the two. Soon, the three reached a consensus and united with each other. Liu Yuanjin was promoted as the co-lord, with [-] soldiers, and captured Wujun.

After Liu Yuanjin occupied Wu County, he began to swell. He even called himself the Son of Heaven, appointed Zhu Xie and Guan Chong as ministers and servants, and appointed hundreds of officials. All the scholars arrested the local officials in response to Liu Yuanjin.

Suddenly, the entire Jiangnan region seemed to have changed, and the momentum was so great that it overwhelmed Yang Xuangan, so Yang Guang urgently ordered Yu Juluo and Tu Wanxu to lead the army south to destroy Liu Yuanjin.

The end of the Sui Dynasty is imminent, Gao Bufan only wants to manage Zhuojun as soon as possible, and he is naturally unwilling to follow Yujuluo to the south, so he refuses: "General Yu's kindness is appreciated!"

Yu Juluo immediately frowned and said in displeasure, "Are you reluctant to be the general of Yingyang Lang in Zhuo County, or do you think it is too inferior to serve under a certain family?"

Gao Bufan said neither humble nor overbearing: "Neither of the two, Yu Jujun should know that because of something, I was imprisoned by the emperor a few days ago, it's better to keep a low profile now."

Yu Juluo also thought about the same reason, this kid Gao Bufan just offended the emperor not long ago, and now the emperor's temperament is moody, if he plays on his own and borrows Gao Bufan, he might offend the emperor, and not only hurt Gao Bufan, but also I can't say that I will also cause a show, so I can only say regretfully: "That's true, anyway, I said that you are so courageous, you actually plotted against His Royal Highness Yue King, and you will be lucky if you can save your life."

Gao Bufan shrugged his shoulders and said, "Gao Shilian is my clan uncle and wife-in-law, so I can't just leave him alone."

"You're just too fraternal, but if you weren't so fraternal, a certain family wouldn't have looked down on you back then." Yu Juluo patted Gao Bufan on the shoulder and said.

Gao Bufan smiled wryly, "General Yu, is this a compliment or a derogation?"

Yu Juluo said bluntly: "Of course it's a boast. In the future, if a certain family commits a crime and is killed by the emperor, if you can save your life like this, a certain family will wake up laughing in a dream. By the way, a certain family also has a niece. Is Changqing interested? Just give me the status of a concubine."

"Senior Yu, please spare me!" Gao Bufan sweated secretly, saying that his nephew looks like an uncle, and with your elder brother's appearance, the possibility of your niece being a King Kong or a female Hulk is extremely high, so let's avoid it.

Yu Juluo laughed loudly: "Just kidding, the sons and daughters of that niece in a certain family are all able to make soy sauce. Even if you want to, you have no chance."

Yu Juluo originally wanted to recruit Gao Bufan to his subordinates, but now he couldn't do it, so he didn't procrastinate anymore, and after a few simple chats, they went back to their respective houses and went to their respective mothers.

Gao Bufan went back to Yujifang's residence and took a nap with alcohol. When he woke up, he found that the sky was completely dark, and he didn't know what time it was. He was planning to take a bath, and then get some food to deal with it. Suddenly, I saw a red light in the sky, and there was a faint noise.

Out of curiosity, Gao Bufan jumped up to the roof to have a look, and found that a nearby building in Lidefang was on fire.

Gao Bufan checked the distance with his eyes, and found that the fire was in the middle of Lidefang, about 400 meters away, and the fire was a tall building, which was the Star Observation Building of the Taishijian.

Gao Bufan's heart moved, he jumped up, and ran quickly from the roof, and in a few breaths, he rushed to the downstairs of the Taishijian's Star Observation Building.

At this time, the Star Observation Building was completely engulfed in a raging fire. The flames rushed seven or eight meters high, almost swallowing the entire building. It doesn't help!
Gao Bufan recognized that the person who put out the fire was Fei Yuwei, he couldn't help but secretly wondered, so he stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

It happened that those Fei Yuwei also recognized Gao Bufan, and immediately said anxiously and panicked: "The Star Observation Tower suddenly caught fire, and Angata was still upstairs, it's over, now I don't know how to explain to the emperor."

Gao Bufan couldn't help frowning, Yang Guang didn't kill An Jia Tuo, but sent him to the Star Observation Tower of the Taishi Supervisor, could it be that he wanted this person to figure out the real dragon emperor whose surname was Li?Well, it must be the case. Yang Guang can't kill all the people with the Li surname in the world, and he doesn't want to shake the foundation to kill the family surname Li, so deducing the "true dragon emperor" is undoubtedly the best way, and it is also the lowest cost. Method.

Gao Bufan hesitated for a while, and finally decided to save people. After all, Qingruo was the chief manager of Feiyuwei, and if An Jiatuo was burned to death under the supervision of Feiyuwei, Yang Guang might blame Qingruo.

"Brother, borrow a bucket!" Gao Bufan snatched a bucket from a Fei Yuwei, poured himself on the head, then picked up a long wooden stick and rushed towards the Star Observation Tower.

Gao Bufan rushed downstairs, and with a sudden push of the wooden stick to the ground, he immediately soared into the sky like a bird, leaping nearly seven or eight meters, and was about to plunge into the raging fire, the Feiyuwei below couldn't help but lose his voice Exclaimed, at this moment, the wooden stick in Gao Bufan's hand suddenly stabbed towards the building, right in the gap between the two pillars of the building, and bounced up four or five meters with his strength, and landed firmly on a cornice.

This star observatory building is an all-wood structure, divided into seven floors, with a height of 18 meters, and each floor has octagonal cornices. Now the fire has burned to the sixth floor, and Gao Bufan is currently on the sixth floor. A corner of the eaves was overhanging, and the flames were not far below his feet. The roiling heat wave instantly evaporated the water on his clothes into a white mist. From a distance, it seemed that his whole body was smoking.

Gao Bufan didn't dare to stay, so he hurriedly made a strong leap, flew several meters high, and jumped in through the window on the seventh floor.

The Fei Yuwei below all heaved a sigh of relief when they saw this, but they immediately raised their hearts again. Although they went up safely, how did they get down?No matter how good his martial arts and light body skills are, Gao Lang will not be able to jump from a height of 18 meters with a person on his back, right?

At this moment, two figures arrived like wind, and they were Yang Qingruo and Xiao Jian. Seeing the scene in front of them, their faces changed drastically.

Xiao Jian shouted sharply: "What's going on?"

Fei Yuwei, who was in charge of guarding, kept silent, and said in a stuttering manner: "I don't know what's going on, this fire suddenly started, so fast and urgent, there is no time to save it."

However, Yang Qingruo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it would be good if this monster was burned to death, so as not to continue to confuse the emperor.

However, at this time, a Fei Yuwei whispered: "General Gao Lang... just went up to save someone!"

Yang Qingruo's delicate body trembled violently, her pretty face was instantly pale as paper, and the next moment she threw herself recklessly towards the fire.
