The poisonous girl becomes a phoenix

Chapter 845 The Sudden Fire

Li Shangshu blurted out the question.

Chang De nodded immediately and said, "That's the only way."

Li Shangshu turned his head and glanced at the room, and then at the corpses lying on the ground. He said to Chang De with an ugly face: "Master Chang, the Seventh Prince is so cruel and merciless, countless people died in his hands. Let's not push hard! It's too low to outsmart!"

"Oh? What kind of outsmart method?" Chang De couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he heard the words.

It's not impossible to forcefully charge, so many of their guards, if they all rushed up, then Qi Yan would be beaten to pieces by him, but the point is, in that case, they would definitely suffer heavy casualties, and Well, what the emperor wanted was a living Qi Yan, and they beat him to death, how will he explain this when he goes back?

That's why Chang De didn't take action for a long time, even though the anger in his heart had been suppressed to the extreme.

When Li Shangshu heard him ask, he smiled coldly and said: "When I came, I asked the emperor if I could carry weapons, and the emperor said it was free, so I brought all the archers here! At this moment , they are all guarding outside!"

After Chang De heard this, he turned his head involuntarily, and then he saw that the periphery and even the roof were densely packed with archers, and everyone's bows and arrows were fully drawn, waiting for an order.

Chang De was dumbfounded, is this here to catch the robbers?But the Seventh Prince alone dispatched so many people!He stared at Master Li for a long time before he said, "Are you bringing so many archers, are you planning to shoot the Seventh Prince into a sieve?"

"The emperor said, as long as Qi Yan can be caught, no matter what method is used!" Li Shangshu said triumphantly.

Chang De squinted at him and said, "Whether you live or die?"

Hearing this, Li Shangshu suddenly smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not true."

Chang De said slowly: "If it doesn't matter whether you live or die, you can use any method, but after all, he is the seventh prince. The emperor never said that he must die, so it will be difficult. You bring so many archers. Yes, but if the Seventh Prince is shot dead and the Emperor blames him, can you and I take the responsibility?"

Li Shangshu was speechless immediately, with a resentful expression on his face, and when Chang De finished speaking, he was very unconvinced and said: "You say so much, but you deny me, so what good strategy do you have?" ?”

"No." Chang De replied very briefly.

The corner of Li Shangshu's mouth twitched, he decided to ignore Chang De, and tried to capture Qi Ye home alive, but he turned his head and glanced at the closed door, and immediately couldn't say anything more coming.

Qi Yan is so cruel, what can he do?In the case of undead?The guard was injured just now, the emperor was very angry...

Thinking about it, the anger in Li Shangshu's heart dissipated a lot.

Time passed slowly, Changde looked at the door that was still tightly closed, so he opened his mouth and said to Li Shangshu: "Master Li, it is not a solution to continue this stalemate, so I will go back to the palace and report to the emperor." To clarify the situation, let’s see what method we can use to open this door, after all, it’s impossible to force it.”

Hearing this, Li Shangshu immediately quit. He shook his head and said, "Why did you enter the palace instead of me?"

Chang De had expected that he would say this, and immediately replied: "That's good, you go into the palace and report to the emperor, and I will stay here to guard."

He answered so briskly, but Li Shangshu hesitated a little. He glanced at Chang De and opened his mouth to refute, but he couldn't say a word.

"Master Li, go and come back quickly, it's getting dark, the later it gets, the harder it will be." Chang De said as he stood there with his hands on his hips and glanced at the sky.

Li Shangshu looked at his appearance, nodded without saying anything, and rushed into the palace with the people.

……

In the palace, the emperor was sitting in the imperial study, listening to the report from Mr. Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, with an ugly expression on his face.

"Li Aiqing, you mean, when you went, that guard was already seriously injured and died?"

After hearing this, Li Shangshu immediately replied: "Yes! Your Majesty! This matter was diagnosed by Imperial Doctor Sun himself. When the minister arrived, the guard's body had already been covered with a white cloth."

"You haven't done anything yet?" the emperor asked again.

When Li Shangshu heard this, he immediately expressed embarrassment and said: "Your Majesty, when I went, I brought an archer with me! If these were ordinary robbers and snitches, they would have been taken down long ago, but seven The prince is different, he is the prince of the current dynasty, and when the emperor has not ordered you to ignore casualties, the humble ministers dare not act rashly."

Hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly and said, "I think you are afraid of losing your own life?"

Li Shangshu immediately replied: "I don't dare!" But these words clearly lack confidence.

The emperor was too lazy to care about this, just sat there frowning and thinking.

His seventh son, actually made these ministers so timid?He acted cruelly and had an absurd style. I don't know how many people died in his hands...

A trace of anger gradually appeared on the emperor's face. It seemed that Qi Yan had restored his identity for the sake of his dead mother, but unexpectedly, this person still went his own way!

When the carriage collided last time, he had already said that this was the last chance, but Qi Yan never knew how to cherish it... Is it necessary for him to keep his life?Resisting the decree and disrespecting, beheading the court guards, this can completely convict him!

The more the emperor thought about it, the angrier he became in his heart, and the expression on his face gradually became condensed. At this moment, a eunuch cautiously walked in and reported: "Your Majesty, Governor Shen is out to see you!"

Shen Inspector, that is the natal brother of Seventh Prince Qi Yan's mother Concubine Shen.

"Tell him to get out!" The emperor was already angry, but when he heard this, he was furious and said, "Tell him to get out of here! Don't appear in front of me again!"

"Yes! Your Majesty!" The little eunuch was so frightened that his feet went limp after being yelled at by the emperor. He hurriedly responded and crawled out.

After this incident, the emperor finally made up his mind. He bowed his head and wrote another imperial decree to recall Qi Yan, handed it to Li Shangshu and said: "Take this imperial decree and tell Qi Yan that if he listens obediently If you let the few of you investigate, then forget it, if he resists again, you don't have to be polite to him, you know?"

"Yes! Your Majesty! My servant complies with the decree!" Hearing this, a gleam of joy appeared on Li Shangshu's face, he hurriedly took the imperial decree from the emperor's hand, and left the palace non-stop. Compared with the last time, he was more excited. Smug.

However, when the carriage he was sitting in arrived at the gate of King Xian's Mansion, Li Shangshu got off the carriage, but saw the flames soaring into the sky.

"What's going on?" Li Shangshu's face changed suddenly.

"My lord, it looks like the courtyard where His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince lives is on fire!" the guard at the side said immediately.

"Nonsense! Can't I see it? Do you need to tell me?" Li Shangshu turned his head and glared at the guard fiercely, "I mean, how the hell did this fire start?"

Li Shangshu has always been a very gentle person and never swears. Today's situation really frightened him.

The guard was scolded, and immediately hid aside embarrassingly.

Li Shangshu immediately walked towards the gate of King Xian's Mansion. He had to find Chang De and ask him clearly. He just entered the palace for a while. Why did the King Xian's Mansion catch fire?Did Qi Yan come out from inside?At this time, Li Shangshu had forgotten that the imperial decree in his hand meant that the emperor Qi Yan had given up.It doesn't matter whether Qi Yan is dead or not.

Soon, the courtyard of Qi Yan arrived just now. Li Shangshu saw the thick smoke billowing in the courtyard and the flames soaring into the sky, but Chang De and his group stood not far from the courtyard door, watching helplessly. Those fires relentlessly devoured that house without doing anything.

Li Shangshu was immediately angry. He stepped forward and asked Chang De face to face: "Master Chang, what is going on? I just went to the palace..."

"That's what you saw. As soon as you left, the room caught fire from inside." Chang De interrupted Li Shangshu and replied slowly.

"Then you just watch?" Li Shangshu asked anxiously, "Where is the Seventh Prince? Did he come out?"

After hearing these words, Chang De replied lightly: "No, he stayed inside all the time. Our people are guarding all around the room. I can be sure that he is inside."

"My God! He must have been scorched in such a big fire!" Li Shangshu looked up at the raging fire in front of him, and asked Chang De angrily: "You brought so many people, why didn't you rush Go in and save him?"

"Do you know that there is poison in the thick smoke? If I rush up to save him, I will be smoked to death before I get close!" Chang De said angrily.

Li Shangshu was stunned when he heard this: "You, what are you talking about? There is poison in the smoke?"

"Yes! Didn't you see that we are standing in the direction of the shelter?" Chang De said angrily.

Li Shangshu looked up at the blaze, and suddenly said: "It's broken! The blaze is so big, and the smoke is everywhere. Anyone who hears it will die. How many people will die in the whole capital?"

"Worry, you should worry about it! The poison in this thick smoke was only there at the beginning, and now it has evaporated long ago. Qi Yan has made up his mind not to let us go in to save him." Chang De replied lightly.

"That's good! That's good!" Li Shangshu breathed a sigh of relief: "You don't know the direction the smoke is going, but the west of the city, my mansion is there..."

After hearing this, Chang De couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Li Shangshu.

"Then what should we do with the fire? We can't let it keep burning like this, can we? Why is there no one to put out the fire?" Li Shangshu asked again.

"Are you blind or lame? Can't you see that my subordinates are putting out the fire?" Chang De said angrily, "Don't tell me you have to ask me to put out the fire myself, so that counts?"
