Chapter 145

The Imperial Palace, inside Funing Hall.

The official family and Queen Yang had already fallen asleep at this time.

Today's official family is a boring gourd, with no hobbies at all. When it gets dark, they don't even talk about going to eat supper or have a nude party. They usually go to bed early.

Empress Yang's life was more regular. After dinner, she would take a walk in the palace, read a book, and didn't wash and go to bed until the second watch drum sounded.

Anyway, the elderly don't have much sex anymore.

The guards in the palace were still vigilantly guarding the imperial city, and the eunuchs and maids on duty at night were already dozing off.

Suddenly, three earth-shattering explosions sounded from all directions in the palace, boom, boom, boom~~~ It was like a thunderbolt.

Empress Yang opened her eyes immediately, and asked sharply, "What happened?"

The little eunuchs and maids outside were almost pale with fright, and replied with a trembling voice: "Ms. Hui, no, I don't know, it looks like thunder, but there is no lightning or rain outside."

At this time, the guards outside had already blown the whistle, and it wasn't just one person blowing the whistle. There were whistles in the southeast, north, south, and north of the imperial city.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

At this time, a small commander of the personal guards outside the hall shouted: "Please stay in the hall and do not come out. Now the gates of all the halls and palaces are closed. I will guard you to the death and will never retreat."

Queen Yang put on her clothes and hurriedly wanted to go out, when suddenly the official on the bed exclaimed: "Queen, queen!"

Empress Yang hurried back to the tent, "Officials, I'm here, I'm here, don't be afraid."

"What happened in the palace? Did it thunder just now? Why is it so noisy outside?"

"I don't know what's going on, the officials are at ease, and the concubines go outside to have a look."

"Okay, don't go too far."

After appeasing the official family, Empress Yang walked out of Funing Hall and stood on the platform. She was surprised to find that several palaces in the palace were in flames, and there was even a burning palace not far from Funing Hall. .

The shouts of the guards fighting the fire and the sound of police whistles, mixed with the screams of some eunuchs, were everywhere.

"Xiao Lizi, outside, what happened outside?"

The eunuch Xiao Lizi is on duty tonight, and he was frightened out of his wits. When he heard the Queen's question, he quickly knelt down and replied:

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened. I just heard three loud thunderclaps, and after a short while, I saw several fires in the palace, and then the guards immediately blocked the palace gate."

At this time, a guard came rushing over:
"Hui Niangniang, there was a report outside the door just now, saying that Jiying Hall, Wende Hall, and Tianzhang Pavilion suddenly exploded violently for some unknown reason, and then the fire spread. Someone is already rescued."

Tianzhang Pavilion is not far from Funing Hall, it is equivalent to the existence of the Royal Library, there are a lot of books in it, plus it is a wooden building, it is lit at one point, the fire is so bright that even the Funing Hall is brightly lit.

Empress Yang was shocked. How could these three palaces explode for no reason?Also caused a fire?

The ancients believed in the theory of ghosts and gods the most. Didn’t Confucianism pay attention to the relationship between heaven and man? If a fire or lightning strike occurred in the palace, it is usually because your emperor made some mistakes, which will cause the warning and punishment of heaven.

There were three "suspected thunder" sounds in a row that night, followed by three fires. Was it the official family, or did she, the queen, do something wrong?

Empress Yang was suspicious, so she put her hands together and asked God to bless her.

At this time, the palace was completely in chaos.

The instigator, Chen Buer, and the three of them turned left and right, and finally got away from Miyagi.

Even though they heard the violent explosion when the shells landed just now, they didn't stop, but sped up and fled the west city. If they were caught or suspected, they would be snapped.

When they ran to a safe enough distance, the three of them turned their heads and saw the fire in the palace in the distance, and they couldn't stop laughing.

"How about it, young master, do you feel better?"

"Well, it's much more refreshing. I'm having a hard time, and the dog emperor shouldn't think about it too. When I have a chance in the future, I'll give him a few shots."

"Then Prime Minister Cui and Cheng Guogong..."

Chen Buer slapped the fat man on the head in a displeased way: "All three houses were bombed this night, and the fool can guess that we did it. Remember this account first, and I will go find it sooner or later."

Cui Miyuan, Chai Ziyun, and Chen Buer's small notebooks have already written them down heavily.

"Let's go, let's go to Guozi Lane to have a late-night snack before going back to the inn. From now on, we will start pretending to be poor, and we have to sneak around to eat. It's really uncomfortable."

The sound of explosions in the palace quickly spread throughout the audience, after all, it was a silent night.

Prime Minister Cui's mansion is not far from the imperial palace. Cui Miyuan, who was lying down in the middle of the night and suddenly heard a loud noise coming from the direction of the imperial palace, ran out without even putting on his coat, and hurriedly asked the guards:

"What happened in the city?"

"Returning to the Prime Minister, the loud sound came from the palace, and from a distance, there was a burst of flames."

Cui Miyuan was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly shouted: "Is this an intrusion by traitors? Quick, hurry up and ring the alarm bell. The whole city is under martial law. Prepare a sedan chair for me. I want to enter the palace immediately."

"Prime Minister, it is estimated that the palace is no longer accessible."

When the bell tower sounded 300 alarm bells, the whole city of Bianliang was awakened, and even the people in the night market were frightened and at a loss, thinking that some rebel army had broken into the city.

Chen Buer and the others were sitting in a mutton soup restaurant, eating deliciously, when they suddenly heard the alarm bell, and the diners in the restaurant raised their heads one by one, thinking that ringing the bell in the middle of the night might be something wrong with the mind of the bell tower guard?

When the experienced old men heard this, their expressions changed: "No, this is the rapid bell. It must be something happened in the palace or in the city. It can't be, the officials..."

As soon as this person said it, his companion tightly covered his mouth.

"Don't talk nonsense, what if the officials do something, it's the bells of all the temples in the city. You can hear the bells clearly coming from the bell tower, which probably means martial law in the whole city."

Another diner next to him looked anxious, "If it wasn't for the officials, why was the whole city under martial law? Could it be that the Khitans attacked Bianliang?"

"What? The Liao people are calling?"

"Oh, no wonder it's time to ring the alarm bell. What should I do? I'm going to go home quickly."

"I'm going back too, boss, check out."

The owner of the mutton soup was already in a hurry, "What's the bill? I'm in a hurry to go back, oh, help, why did this Khitan dog cross the Yellow River without saying a word?"

In an instant, all the diners in the mutton soup restaurant, including the boss and his buddies, ran away in a hurry, leaving only Chen Buer and the others with their rice bowls, and the fans were still talking about it. You look at me, I look at you ,shocked.

"Master, everyone is gone, did we save money for a supper?"

Chen Bu'er swallowed a piece of mutton with difficulty, and asked inexplicably, "The Khitans are calling?"
