NIP Chapter 164
Chapter 164
The first year of Zhenguan.
January [-]th.
In the night sky of Chang'an City, hundreds of fiery red "lanterns" the size of a fist suddenly floated up.
The people in the city were stunned for a moment when they saw this, and rushed to tell each other.
For a moment, countless people rushed to the streets, looking at this unparalleled spectacle in amazement.
The traffickers and pawns pointed at the "lanterns", and the people who worshiped gods and Buddhas bowed down.
The literati who were familiar with ancient books took the opportunity to show off, and the women with different postures immediately covered their mouths and exclaimed.
However, most of them have never seen Kongming lanterns.
Therefore, when it fell slowly, there was a burst of exclamation one after another in the streets and alleys.
"Wow!
This lantern is really big!
I thought it was only the size of a fist! "
"idiot.
Mr. Zhu said just now that this is the Kongming Lantern.
It is the property of Liu Bei in the Han Dynasty. "
"whispering sound!
How credible are these son's words?
Just now, Prince Wang also said that it belonged to Zhang Fei. "
"As soon as you sell vegetables, you dare to question the words of the young masters?"
"Aren't you also a cook cake seller, how is it different from me?"
"you……"
"What's the noise!
Get out of the way! "
A loud shout sounded.
Liu An led dozens of yamen servants and walked quickly through the streets and alleys with a dignified expression.
Just now he was resting in the yamen, when he suddenly received a summons from the palace.
His Highness the Crown Prince ordered him to take the firefighting supplies and go to the post house immediately.
Once the fire starts, it will block the surrounding area of tens of feet.
The people in the city must not be affected by disasters, and a foreign race must not be let out of the house.
Although he didn't know where the fire came from, he didn't dare to delay at all.
After consulting Feng County Magistrate for instructions, he took all the left-behind servants of the county government one step ahead.
"head!
look!
A lantern has fallen! "
A yamen servant carrying a wooden barrel exclaimed loudly.
Hearing this, Liu An looked up.
I saw hundreds of Kongming lanterns drifting directly towards the post house along with the weak south wind.
The leader Kongming Lantern seemed to have exhausted all his energy when he was about to fly to the posthouse.
The huge white cloth above was pulled down limply.
In the blink of an eye, the heavy pottery pot that was hung below was dragged towards the main hall of the post house.
"Bang..."
"Whoa..."
The lead pot hit the roof of the main hall, and it was torn apart in an instant.
The hot oil and alcohol contained in the tank poured out immediately, and when they touched the residual sparks on the top of the tank, a fire broke out instantly.
"Bang!!!"
Just as the flame touched the tiles of the roof, there was a sudden crisp sound.
In less than three or five breaths, the entire hall was covered in flames.
"My mother!
This is God's punishment! "
"Run!
The water is gone, run! "
"Everyone run!
Out of the water! "
"..."
There was a sudden panic in the post house.
A group of aliens rushed towards the gate in a panic.
Xiao Shi desperately tried to fight the fire with a bucket, but more Kongming lanterns fell one after another.
"What do you want to do?!
Why are you blocking my way! "
"Get out of the way!
I am the envoy of Silla!
If you dare to block me, you will start a war between the two countries! "
"Step aside!
I am the envoy of the Kingdom of the Rising Sun!
you……"
"..."
"head!"
All the yamen servants knew Su Jing's order, so they were even more shocked when they saw the fire in the posthouse.
It's just that facing the intimidation of a group of envoys at this moment, they don't know what to do.
"Don't worry!
With His Highness in charge, what are the mere aliens afraid of him! "
"Who are you waiting for?
How dare you do evil in my Honglu Temple! "
Kong Yingda just came back to his senses at this time.
Seeing Liu An and others blocking the way forward, he stepped forward to question in dissatisfaction.
"The humble Liu An has met the adults!"
Liu An saluted bitterly, and said in a low voice, "My lord, we are the servants of Wannian County.
This time, he was ordered by His Royal Highness to block this place.
His Highness has an order: Never let a commoner be affected by the disaster, and never let a foreign race out of the house. "
"Um?!"
Kong Yingda was startled when he heard this.
Thinking of the direction the Kongming Lantern came from just now, he patted his forehead in a sudden realization.
This His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who hates alien races so much, seems to want to catch all the envoys in one go.
only……
How innocent he is at the post office of Honglu Temple.
Why not wait for the envoy to return to the country and start outside the city.
As for the life and death of alien races, as subjects of the Han and Tang Dynasties, no one cared.
"Master Kong!
Why do you block my way? "
Seeing Kong Yingda arrive but still not let go.
An envoy asked loudly, very dissatisfied.
Kong Yingda turned around calmly when he heard the words, frowned and replied: "I don't know very well.
All the envoys, stay safe and don't be impatient, and wait for the palace to go to the county government to ask what happened. "
"How can Master Kong do this!"
The envoy was very angry when he heard the words.
Now that the fire is raging behind them, when Kong Yingda returns from the yamen to inquire, their bones may be melted.
"Master Kong, I am the Empress of the National Treasure of the Sunrise."
A woman in her early twenties frowned slightly, strode forward and said: "This time is ordered by Emperor Tuigu.
Accompanying the Big Brother King at the back of the mountain and General Ezo of Suga, he went to the Kingdom of Sunset to meet the king.
If there is any accident for us today, Emperor Tuigu will definitely raise an army to seek justice for us.
Master Kong, please think twice. "
"This……"
Kong Yingda felt quite a headache when he heard this.
If it is an ordinary messenger, a natural disaster can cover it up.
But if it is the prince and daughter of another country, it is not so simple.
"Since that's the case, please invite the princess, prince and me to go to the yamen together."
"No!"
A man heard the words and came out of the crowd, and said complacently: "Master Kong, I am the big brother and king of Shanbei.
Why does your lord only lead the three of us away, regardless of whether the rest are dead or alive.
If there is one person left in my country of the rising sun, this king will definitely not leave this place. "
"If one person stays, this general will never leave."
Another youth with ugly hair stepped forward and responded loudly.
"exactly!
If one person stays behind, we all don't want to leave. "
"that is!
We are envoys from various countries, why did the Tang Dynasty imprison us! "
"If someone is in trouble today, I will wait for the Three Kingdoms to set up an army to seek justice from the Tang Dynasty!"
"..."
All the envoys shouted in unison, and Kong Yingda was at a loss for a while.
He could sit back and watch his envoys be burned to death, but he dared not order the troublemakers to be killed.
"Since you don't want to leave, let's all stay."
At this moment.
Su Jing led more than a hundred guards to come slowly with great fanfare.
Seeing this, Kong Yingda heaved a sigh of relief, bowed and saluted, "Minister Kong Yingda, I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"Master Kong doesn't need to be too polite."
Su Jing smiled and helped Kong Yingda up.
He turned his head and gave Liu An a hard look.
"idiot.
I can't do this little thing well, so what's the use of keeping you? "
"Dereliction of duty, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Annoyed, Liu An knelt down and pleaded guilty.
It's just that in the face of "noble" envoys from various countries, a government servant like him really can't deal with it.
"Get up."
Su Jing also knew the reason, and lightly waved his hand to wake up Liu An.
Then he turned his head to look at the dignified envoys from various countries, and said contemptuously: "I said this when I was in Jizhou.
All barbarians inside and outside, who dare to claim weapons, will be beheaded.
today.
Bengong will tell you one more thing.
Anyone who disputes with my Tang people will be killed regardless of the reason. "
"you dare!"
The big brother king on the back of the mountain frowned, and said angrily: "This king is the kingdom of the sunrise..."
"Snapped!!!"
Su Jing didn't wait for Brother Shanbei to finish speaking, and slapped him with a horsewhip on the face.
Looking at the people around who were stunned and stunned, he said loudly: "How dare a small island nation call itself the Land of the Rising Sun!
I, Tang Dynasty, only take one, and I can slaughter all the people of your island country!
In the future, you can only call yourself a Japanese slave.
If you dare to say half a word, I will definitely mention one hundred thousand elite soldiers to slaughter all your Japanese slaves and dolphin dogs. "
