Book with Emperor

Chapter 66 Why Don't You Dare?

For the Helian family, and even for the entire Liang country, the name Xiao Mingyang was like a nightmare of a lifetime.

When He Lianying saw the woman standing in front of her again, Ling De retreated behind Cuiping.

"You... Empress..."

He Lianying took a step back in shock, looking at the people on the altar with a panicked expression.

"Since you dare to kill me, why don't you dare call my name?"

Xiao Mingyang looked at him sharply, "Could it be that the Helian family is only born to bully the weak and fear the tough?"

"Xiao Mingyang—"

He Lianying gritted her teeth and stared at her, "Light it up!"

The people on the tower immediately ignited the fire oil on the tower and the pillars that bound the people, and the flames immediately swept half of the tower.

A torch was thrown on the statue of the Son of Heaven on the altar, and the wooden paper-pasted statue was sprinkled with kerosene and immediately ignited. After a while, the whole statue was completely burned, forming a fire barrier across half of the altar. .

"Fire!" someone yelled.

"Who dares!"

He Lianying yelled angrily, and pointed at the people on the city wall, "Whoever dares to make a move, I will kill one!"

The two sides were deadlocked in place, and the fire became more and more fierce, and soon the thick smoke enveloped the entire altar.

The young Huo Qiu coughed until he burst into tears, and shouted, "Lou Binghe, hurry up and save him!"

Lou Binghe clenched his fists, but did not move, but looked at Ning Zhao in front of him.

Xiao Mingyang also looked at Ning Zhao, "I, Yin Luqi, can rush to save the people in the city, but the people on the tower, Emperor Xi can only decide for himself."

Ning Zhao's expression turned ugly.

Lou Binghe looked solemnly, "Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, how can you be on the same level as ordinary people!"

"You can't sacrifice me, Emperor Daxi, for the sake of a few common people!"

"His Majesty……"

"..."

The fire spread with the wind, the entire city gate was ablaze, and Langya City was covered in thick smoke.

Ning Zhao looked at the anxious and frightened courtiers in front of him and the grinning He Lianying, and heard the cries from the tower behind him, and said sharply, "Lou Binghe obeys the order, kill the rebels, and Han forced to put out the fire!"

"Yes!"

Lou Binghe immediately turned around and led his troops to kill under the altar, while Han Ju began to extinguish the fire on the altar. The ministers on the stage were sooted by the thick smoke that tears flowed down their cheeks and coughed continuously.

The people on the city tower cried even more heartbreakingly, and against the sound of the wind, they were even more miserable.

In front of him was the traitorous South Gate Forbidden Army, behind him was a sea of ​​flames, and on top of the city tower was a group of old and weak women and children waiting to be slaughtered. It could be said that there was no way out, no future, when the city was full of fire, he would surely die, and He Lianying was sure. It is to consume them to death here.

Qin Guanyue covered her mouth and coughed a few times due to the thick smoke rising into the sky. She took a step back and called Longnu, "Li Xuanxi."

The dragon girl with a face of nothing to do with herself turned her head to look at her suspiciously, "Huh?"

Qin Guanyue curled her lips and said in a low voice, "If you can kill all the rebels on the tower and save the common people within three breaths, I will give you that painting tonight."

Li Xuanxi's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"really."

"it is good!"

As soon as Li Xuanxi finished speaking, he picked up a bow scattered on the ground with his toes, and took five intact feathered arrows from the burning statue of the Son of Heaven.

Cuiping sneered, and raised his hand towards the tower, and the traitor on the tower raised his knife and chopped down.

Li Xuanxi drew the bow with both hands, and the five feathered arrows were facing the tower.

Lou Binghe immediately saw her intention, "The fire is too big to see clearly—"

Before he finished speaking, it took only a split second for the arrow in Li Xuanxi's hand to shoot towards the tower.

A total of five feathered arrows quickly passed through the heavy flames, and pierced straight into the hearts of the five people, blood splattered everywhere, just like piercing Yang with a hundred steps!
Before everyone could be shocked, Li Xuanxi had already jumped into the sea of ​​flames.

Qin Guanyue was startled, but there was no time to stop it, the opponent's movement was as fast as a gust of wind.

Xiao Mingyang was also surprised, the fastest arrow can pass through the flames, but people cannot, and they will definitely be injured!

Li Xuanxi didn't seem to hear anything, and flew towards the tower with a calm expression. He wore a purple dress and walked through the sea of ​​flames. The gorgeous skirt and long hair were licked by the flames, taking away flame.

And she had leapt up the tower and cut their necks with a long silver sword.

The city tower was half a sea of ​​flames. Li Xuanxi raised his sword and cut off the burning hair ends.

The crowd was stunned.

Qin Guanyue was not surprised at all, but immediately looked at Lou Binghe, "Extinguish the fire!"

Lou Binghe understood immediately, and immediately led people to rush down the altar, fighting with the rebels.

On the other hand, Han forced to transport water to put out the fire, while protecting the people on the tower to escape.

After being astonished, He Lianying panicked, "Shoot the arrow!"

About 20 archers who had been beheaded for more than half, regrouped and charged towards Li Xuanxi who was alone under the tower.

On the altar, the courtiers saw that the tower was safe and immediately wanted to send Ning Zhao away from the altar.

"Your Majesty! Leave the altar quickly!"

"The altar is already on fire!"

Xiao Qi also stepped forward to escort Xiao Mingyang away, but Xiao Mingyang waved his hand, "No need."

Xiao Qi was taken aback, "Huh?"

Xiao Mingyang looked at Qin Guanyue and Bai Chan who were standing still, "Qin Guanyue, who is afraid of death, didn't move, so what am I afraid of?"

Seeing her sitting down suddenly, the others were puzzled, and at this moment someone suddenly said, "Why hasn't the fire burned all this time?"

Only then did everyone become puzzled, the statue was almost burned, but why didn't the altar be burned?

"How can it be burned after being coated with wet mud?"

That Zhong Jijiu looked at Qin Guanyue slowly, "It won't burn."

Huo Qiu and the others looked at Qin Guanyue, they didn't know who did it, and they didn't say anything immediately.

Ning Zhao's expression also eased a lot, "It seems that Guanyue has been prepared for a long time?"

Qin Guanyue cupped his hands and saluted, "Last night, I ordered people to stand firm in various places in the city. After discovering the traitor's intentions, they will remove all the kerosene. Except for the sporadic spilled on the ground, the only ones that the rebels brought up temporarily on the tower are today." .”

"The traitor made a sudden move, so it's no wonder you are here, thanks to you this time, otherwise..."

Ning Zhao looked coldly at the Nanmen Forbidden Army who was fighting with Ling Yunqi, "I, Daxi, really made a big joke."

Qin Guanyue nodded and stepped aside.

Xiao Mingyang on the side leaned closer to her, "Since there is no need to put out the fire, why didn't you stop me when I asked Yin Luqi to stop someone?"

"Snare forces are emerging one after another, and there are inevitably many martial arts masters among them. Since Your Majesty the Empress is willing to help, how can I stop it?"

"..."

Xiao Ming looked at her with a smile on his face, "Do you know how precious my Silver Knight is? Do you know how much gold they consume in each battle?"

"Grateful."

"Forget it, I forgive you for calling my name when I was shot by an arrow."

Xiao Mingyang leaned his head close to her face, and said in a low voice, "I gave up pretending to be dead because of you, you can't trick me anymore."

"For me? Wasn't it because He Lianying wanted to burn 30 people in the city to death?"

"..."

Xiao Mingyang looked at He Lianying who was not far away, "I hate the indiscriminate killing of innocent people the most."
