Chapter 864 Heavenly Fire
On the night of the Shangyuan Festival, in order to prevent possible riots, Jinyiwei, Shuntianfu, and Jingwei all dispatched a large number of people to patrol the streets immediately, and Jinyiwei even dispatched all their troops, even the governor Wang Xian went out to the street in person, with a pair of gloomy eyes, rolling The crowds shuttle back and forth in the crowd!

At that time, he was under the Chengtian Gate, watching the Aoshan lantern vigilantly.This lamp is located in the south of Chengtian Gate, a bit higher than Chengtian Gate, and it is aimed directly at the emperor on the tower, so it is naturally the key monitoring object.In fact, just a few hours ago, he led his men to climb up this lamp mountain, and went up and down to check it carefully.

Judging from the situation at that time, there was nothing unusual, but the lamp mountain was too big and the structure was too complicated, no one dared to guarantee that something would happen then.So Wang Xian didn't know what to do, so he just kept a close eye on this lamp mountain from a distance!
However, Wang Xian was not too worried. He had already conducted a detailed on-site investigation. From any position of the Aoshan Lantern, he could not pose a threat to the emperor in the tower of Chengtian Gate.Moreover, he has already set up bright posts and secret posts around it. If there is a slight movement on Dengshan, the Jinyiwei will be able to surround it, preventing criminals from harming the people!

It's just that for some reason, that trace of worry always lingers in his heart, and he can't get rid of it no matter what...

When he saw the woman in white appearing on the top of the Aozhu, Wang Xian's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Gu Xiaolian behind him.

Gu Xiaolian also looked dignified, nodded towards Wang Xian, and said in a deep voice, "It's her!"

Wang Xian's head buzzed and exploded!Hurriedly asked Wu Wei to blow the police whistle. The sharp whistle was not harsh in the noisy environment, but it was enough for Jin Yiwei who was on standby nearby to hear it!

Jin Yiwei, who heard the whistle, also blew the whistle, and the sharp whistle sounded one after another, forming one piece!
At the same time, the Jinyi guards rushed towards the Aoshan lantern!However, the crowds watching the lanterns were also attracted by the grand scene of Aoshan Lanterns, coming from all directions like a tide.The guards in Jinyi were rushed to pieces by the crowd and couldn't find their way. They desperately pushed and shoved the crowd, wanting to move forward.However, it is still difficult to make progress...

At this time, the huge golden rooster also appeared, as well as the magic sound that hovered in Wang Xian's mind all day, also appeared!
"As soon as the golden rooster sings, the heavenly fire descends! As soon as the heavenly fire descends, the demon palace burns!"

"Quick!" Wang Xian was about to go crazy, he stood there and roared: "Get rid of them! Shoot them to death!"

However, the tens of thousands of people on the Tianjie were packed, and his voice could not separate the crowd, and sent the troops to the foot of the lamp mountain, so it could only be in vain... Moreover, it was too late to do anything at this time, and the death knell of the cock crowed After the sound, countless rockets shot out from Aoshan Mountain, trailing bright yellow trails, across the tower of Chengtian Gate, and shot deep into Da Nei!

Looking up at the rockets shooting towards the palace, Zhu Dijun and his ministers on the Chengtianmen tower were also dumbfounded!They never imagined that someone would be so bold as to attack the palace!

"Quick!" There was a mess upstairs at the city gate, Zhu Zhanji, Zhu Gaosui and others rushed to protect Zhu Di, and shouted loudly: "Protect the emperor!"

The guards rushed up to the gate tower, trying to escort Zhu Di down.Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty fiercely pushed the people around him away, and shouted: "What are you panicking about? What can you do to my palace?!" After finishing speaking, he sat down on his buttocks and said in a deep voice: "Ji'er, to the emperor! Grandpa pours wine, I want to see what kind of trouble these clowns can stir up?!"

"Yes." Zhu Zhanji also calmed down when he saw the emperor's grandfather like this. He knew that today's security is tight on the outside and tight on the inside. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers guarding inside and outside the palace!The thieves can create some chaos, but it is absolutely wishful thinking to break through the palace gates and burn the palace down.He poured wine for Zhu Di, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Huang is right, let's see how this golden rooster burned down my Daming Palace?!"

The rest of the princes and ministers had no choice but to sit back, and laughed together: "It's impossible..." They couldn't help but look north, watching the rockets raining down inside the Fengtian Gate, and shook their heads pretending to be disdainful: "Just relying on these few rockets to burn down the palace, can't I use my Daming's palace as a pile of firewood?"

"Hahaha..." The princes and ministers burst into laughter, but they saw the emperor's face was ashen, but his pupils were blood red.It was dyed red by the fire rising from the Fengtian Gate, and the laughter stopped abruptly, and there was a dead silence on the top of the city gate.

"Quick, go put out the fire!" Zhu Gaochi was the first to wake up, dragging his heavy body and rushing down the city gate.

.

Inside the Fengtian Gate, Zhao Ying became a stone statue as he watched the fire rising into the sky... God can testify that he has not slackened in the slightest these days, and today he personally led people to tie the palace like an iron bucket!And pay special attention to fire prevention!

No matter how much he disdained Wang Xian on the surface, the old eunuch attached great importance to this enemy in the same industry. Seeing him go crazy and go to war, Zhao Ying believed that the ballad of the White Lotus Sect was not just empty words and intimidation.Based on the idea that he would rather believe what he has or not, Zhao Ying implemented the highest level of security in the palace.Although the lights were brightly lit outside and the sky was full of fireworks, not to mention lighting up lights and setting off flowers in the palace, not even a single candle was allowed to be lit.The maids, eunuchs and eunuchs are all locked in the room and are not allowed to come out, and they have to monitor each other. As long as one person is missing, everyone will be killed!
All the doors in the palace have been closed, sentry posts have been arranged in every street, and there are also teams patrolling back and forth without interruption.Vital parts such as Fengtian Hall, Huagai Hall, Jinshen Hall, Qianqing Palace, and Kunning Palace are guarded by heavy soldiers, and no one is allowed to approach.

Standing on the west corner building, looking at the iron barrel-like palace, Zhao Ying was relieved.Seeing the disapproving expressions of Ma De and others beside him, Zhao Ying knew that they felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill. There is no need to toss like this, but only in this way can he feel at ease.

It was precisely because of adequate preparations that when those rockets shot into the palace, although Zhao Ying was shocked, he did not panic. His judgment was the same as that of the princes in the Chengtianmen Tower, thinking that a few rockets would not cause much trouble .Therefore, he calmly issued a few orders, asking the guards responsible for fighting the fire to quickly extinguish the rockets that fell everywhere, and ordered everyone to be vigilant to prevent thieves from taking the opportunity to make trouble.

In Zhao Ying's view, the fire prevention facilities in the palace are complete, there are large water storage tanks everywhere, dozens of water dragons, and thousands of guards in charge of fire prevention. It should be no problem to put out the rockets that fall everywhere!

It was true at the beginning, and the guards could stamp out the rockets that fell on the ground with their feet without even spraying water.As for those that fell on the edge of the palace, although it took more effort, if the water dragon was raised and sprayed vigorously, it would be extinguished.

Seeing those dots of fire sources disappearing into the darkness one by one, Zhao Ying was about to let go of his hanging heart when he suddenly saw a raging fire erupting in a palace, and the fire engulfed the entire palace roof in an instant!

The fire brigade, which was originally quite orderly, suddenly became a mess.Amidst the shrill police whistle, dozens of people rushed towards the burning palace pushing a heavy water dragon.

"Quick!" Although he didn't understand why the fire broke out suddenly, Zhao Ying already realized that something was wrong, and screamed: "Take people to put out the fire!"

Made and others hurried down the turret, screaming and calling the team to rush to the scene of the fire.

At this moment, another palace far away also caught fire. Seeing that palace, Zhao Ying's legs went limp, he fell to the ground, and murmured, "It's over..."

"Fengtian Palace is on fire!" Shouts of panic resounded from all directions, and everyone looked around, only to see that the main hall of the imperial palace, the symbol of the Ming Dynasty's Fengtian inheritance and unification of the world-Fengtian Palace, had already ignited a raging fire!

Everyone abandoned the original fire scene and rushed towards Fengtian Temple, spraying water dragons one after another, but it was useless!The fire was so fierce that the water column was vaporized before it touched the building!
Although all methods were in vain, no one dared to stop. They carried buckets and sand, and rushed towards the fire scene one after another!Because everyone knows that if the Fengtian Temple is destroyed by fire, everyone will be buried with them!
More and more people put out the fire, but the fire burned bigger and bigger. Not only did it engulf the Fengtian Hall, but it also spread to the Huagai Hall and the Jinshen Hall, the symbols of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty—the three halls!All surrounded by flames!
"It's over, it's over..." Zhao Ying sat on the ground, staring blankly at the three halls in the fire, with despair in his eyes.

"It's over, it's over..." Not only Zhao Ying thought this way, but everyone who saw the fire had the same idea.

'It's over, it's over...' On the tower of Chengtianmen, the princes and ministers also had the same thought in their hearts, but no one dared to say it.Because Emperor Yongle sat there like a sculpture, neither speaking nor expressing, not moving at all.

.

Under the city tower and outside the palace gate, there was already a mess.Jin Yiwei tried his best to drive away the crowd, and finally caused a riot. The raging fire in the palace made the common people feel like chickens without their heads. Some wanted to go east, some wanted to go west, some wanted to go south, tens of thousands of people The huddle and stampede inevitably happened.

The cries and screams replaced the previous laughter and firecrackers. The Tianjie, which was still full of joy just now, suddenly turned into a hell on earth...

Wang Xian stood in the middle of this hell, looking up at the White Lotus Buddha Mother on Dengshan, with blood running through her eyes!
The Buddha mother seemed to sense something, and she smiled coldly at his position, and then the ear-piercing magic voice sounded again:
"When the devil's palace burns, the white lotus blooms, and as soon as the white lotus blooms, the Holy Mother comes!"

Those Jinyiwei in the Dengshan Mountain finally climbed to the top of the Aozhu, and surrounded the Buddha Mother!
"Death to the demon girl!" Jinyi Baihu raised his knife and slashed at the Buddha mother with blood red eyes, and the rest of the Jinyi guards also swung their knives, wanting to turn the capital city upside down, the demon girl's corpse into thousands of pieces!
