Early the next morning, Chi Jin woke up rubbing his drowsy head. While eating breakfast, he looked at the maid who came in with a plate, and asked coldly, "What's your name?"

Suddenly hearing the question from Concubine Jin who didn't like to talk, her tone seemed to be very cold, the maid's heart tightened and she said anxiously: "My maidservant talks about Mei."

Chi Jin lowered his eyes and said, "Put things down, you can go."

The maid named Huamei breathed a sigh of relief, put down the plate and was about to salute and exit, when she heard Chi Jin say again: "Don't enter Jinyi Palace again, go find someone to arrange a new place for you."

Huamei knelt down on the ground with a "bang" and asked eagerly, "Miss Jin, but what is wrong with the servant girl? The servant girl must change, please don't drive the servant girl away!"

"go out."

Seeing Chi Jin's tough attitude, the court lady wanted to continue pleading for herself, but she was afraid that she would offend the master by talking too much, so she finally gritted her teeth and stood up to leave.

Fortunately, the master was kind and did not convict her, nor forcibly transfer her to another miserable place. Instead, she asked her to leave Jinyi Palace to find another way out, and then go to the nanny in charge to arrange a similar job. errands.

Although she didn't know why Concubine Jin drove her out, when Huamei walked to the gate of the palace, she turned around and bowed deeply in the direction of Chi Jin three times, thanking Concubine Jin for what she had brought to them this year Live a stable life, and thank Empress Jin for her mercy.

With the first beginning, the rest will be much easier. During breakfast, Chi Jin used various excuses to dismiss more than a dozen court ladies.

When it was approaching noon, only Xia Mian and the maids sent by the emperor were left in the Jinyi Palace. Chi Jin walked into the yard and looked around. At this time, Jinyi Palace was exceptionally clean and there were no little maids. They are walking around, and there is no whispered chat between them, which is really a bit unaccustomed.

What if you are not used to it?When he set fire to it and left, what awaited these palace servants was either to work hard or die in the wrath of the emperor, and only those few emperors could escape this calamity.

Standing on the bluestone road in the yard, looking at the blooming autumn chrysanthemums in the flower bed, the rockery with gurgling water, and the cool and delicate gazebo, Chi Jin engraved everything here in his heart, and he may never see it again in the future.

After sighing briefly, Chi Jin sent out the remaining maids, and then brought Xia Mian to his small warehouse to pick out the useful things inside.

The two rummaged through a pile of things, and finally decided to bring a bag of pearls, a luminous pearl, some gold and silver jewelry, and a few gold leaves at the bottom of the box, and finally there was another big thing: a century old ginseng.

The one he went out to ask Yu An to help sell, this is the one he left behind on purpose, so that the little cub in his stomach can have enough nutrients on the way to escape, it can be said to be a good intention.

Then put these things into a bag, let Xia Mian quietly take them to the inner hall and hide them. These are all to be taken away.

The next step is to wait quietly. Today when the Chi family's army is leaving the city, there must be people strictly controlling the city gates around noon. Maybe they may bump into the army, so he has to stagger this time.

To be on the safe side, we had to wait for the application time before taking action.

……

Yan Zhuangze also got up early today, and brought a group of palace people to the gate of the palace. A group of troops has already assembled there. This is only a small part of the Chi family's army, and the rest are stationed outside Yancheng to wait. Set off.

Standing in the front is Chi Jiansheng, the head of the Chi family, and beside him are several lieutenants and a few children from the side branches of the Chi family. At this time, Chi Jiansheng, who is middle-aged, is wearing a military uniform, and his silver peeping eyes are dark red. The red tassel fluttering slightly in the morning breeze, is truly heroic.

At this time, he was full of ambition, and looked resolutely at Yan Zhuangze standing high on the palace wall, his eyes were full of firmness and expectation, but it was unclear whether this ambition was for Yan or other countries.

Yan Zhuangze looked down at the neat and orderly army below, and said loudly: "The rebellion of the foolish people in the south of the Yangtze River requires you to put down. I have witnessed today. Your heroic power is waiting for you to return in triumph!"

"Triumphant return!"

"Triumphant return!"

Deafening shouts came from below, and none of the soldiers were full of enthusiasm, and their eyes were filled with the fear of death for guarding the country of Yan. Even if this time it was just to deal with a group of ordinary foolish people who wanted to rebel, they couldn't stop their hearts from surging.

Yan Zhuangze looked at the energetic youths below, and smiled with satisfaction. This is the momentum that Yan's army should have, but...

He turned his gaze to General Chi and the others, who were proud of the spring breeze, and the black vortex in the depths of his pupils gradually deepened. It's just that these excellent soldiers failed to meet a good general.

This inspiring speech lasted until noon, and near noon, some palace servants brought practice wine, and after everyone got the wine, Yan Zhuangze ordered everyone to raise their glasses and drink it all .

After that, the army set off, and Yan Zhuangze personally led the team to show that the emperor attached great importance to the safety of the people in the south of the Yangtze River. Chi Jiansheng and others followed closely behind, followed by a long army, and on both sides were excitedly running out to watch The people of Yancheng.

For a while, Yancheng reached an unprecedented level of excitement.

After the army left Yancheng and watched the army go away, Yan Zhuangze returned to the palace with his own guards in a big way. After everything was settled and returned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was time to apply.

He sat alone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, rubbing the center of his brows and showing a little tired expression. When Lin Yongquan led the palace people to push the door in with cakes and tea, the tired look instantly subsided, leaving only the solemn and peaceful expression of the emperor. cold and hard.

He said to Lin Yongquan who was beside him: "You go to the Imperial Hospital and bring Dr. Zhang Yu here, and let them all go down."

"Yes, I'm going now, slave." Lin Yongquan saluted and retreated, and at the same time waved his hands to signal the palace people here to go down. After a while, the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which had just been bustling, fell silent again.

Only then did Yan Zhuangze let himself lean on the back of the chair, picked up the pastry at hand and put it in his mouth, it was jujube cake.

At the same time, Jinyi Palace.

At this time, there were only Chi Jin and Xia Mian in Jinyi Palace. As soon as Shen Shi arrived, Chi Jin stood up and went to the side hall with Xia Mian to move things. The plan was about to start.

There is a lot of alcohol stored in the side hall, all of which he stored intentionally or unintentionally when he was planning to escape a month ago, all of which are relatively high-alcohol spirits.

He and Xia Mian held two altars by themselves, and moved them back and forth several times before moving them all into the inner hall. Chi Jin nodded at Xia Mian, and Xia Mian comprehendedly went to the corner to drag out the fake skeleton, and worked together with Chi Jin to arrange them one by one in the soft On the collapse, one is placed next to the soft collapse, pretending that they are resting.

Then the two walked to the corner of each other's wine jar in a tacit understanding, and deliberately placed the wine jar as if it was smashed on the soft floor, and spilled the rest of the wine in the wine jar on the table, curtain, bed and other flammable things. objects, and then stack the empty jars around the soft cave.

This looks like an illusion that after a small fire was accidentally started, the wine jar was shattered and ignited by the fire, and then the surrounding wine jars were ignited.

The inner hall of Jinyi Palace was immediately filled with a strong smell of alcohol. The alcohol volatilized wantonly in the air, and it only needed a little spark to ignite this area.

After taking the trouble to do all this well, Chi Jin exhaled and said, "It's fine, Xia Mian, you take your bag and enter the tunnel."

Xia Mian took out the bag in the corner and hugged it in her arms, she shook her head and said, "No, master, you go in first, and I'll finish it off."

"Stop arguing." Chi Jin interrupted her, went straight to the head of the bed and opened the tunnel mechanism, urging: "Go in quickly, Yan Zhuangze is probably back, and it will be too late, you go in and meet me inside .”

Xia Mian had no choice but to nod helplessly, looked at Chi Jin worriedly, and then entered the tunnel with her burden on her back. Her voice came from inside: "Master, come down quickly, I'll be waiting for you!"

Chi Jin's heart softened, and he said warmly, "Okay, I'll be here right away."

Sending Xia Mian into the tunnel, Chi Jin then turned to the soft bed with the fake skeleton, picked up the torch and carefully lit the candle next to the soft bed, and then as long as he piled up the candlestick on the glass covered with wine A soft collapse can instantly turn this room into a sea of ​​flames.

Sea of ​​fire, what a beautiful and terrifying word, he was buried in a sea of ​​fire in his previous life, and he still remembers the kind of personal burning that went deep into his soul.

Chi Jin shuddered at the memories in his mind, and when he looked at the candlestick again, there was already more fear in his eyes, but time couldn't wait.

Let's do it. In the previous life, I was killed by fire, but in this life I will be born by fire. Think about the child in my stomach, think about the emperor who is coming here with the imperial doctor.

Chi Jin gritted his teeth and closed his eyes. With a wave of his wide sleeves, he swept the candle holder down on the rug, and the rug that had been sprinkled with wine instantly burned into flames. Running in the same direction, the moment he completely entered the tunnel entrance, he turned his head and deeply engraved the orange flame into his eyes again.

Afterwards, they entered the tunnel completely, closed the entrance before the fire reached the bed, and then ran out of the palace along the passage with Xia Mian without stopping.

Even if someone finds out in time, it will take a while to extinguish the fire, which is enough time for him and Xia Mian to leave Yancheng.

What's more, they spilled so many altars of wine, so the fire is not easy to extinguish. According to Chi Jin's plan, the fire can burn for at least one night, and if it can't be extinguished for a long time, it can last for three days and three nights.

At the last glance when he looked back, his eyes were full of red flames, and the flames that kept rising seemed to burn into his eyes. Now Chi Jin's mind is still in that flame, and it seems that he is in the sea of ​​flames in his previous life. .

Fear, pain, dizziness, suffocation...

Chi Jin was in a trance until he got out of the tunnel. It turned out that the fear of his previous life still deeply affected him now. Xia Mian skillfully dug out two sets of ordinary clothes from the closet beside him, handed the men's clothes to Chi Jin, and then I also went to change clothes behind the screen.

Chi Jin took the clothes in a daze, and put them on after a few slow movements. After Xia Mian came out, she asked eagerly, "Master, where are we going now?"

Only then did Chi Jin regain his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "Go to Yanliang Academy." It's just that the trance in his eyes still hasn't completely receded

"Okay, let's go then."

The two walked to the door one after the other, with Xia Mian in front and Chi Jin in the back. Chi Jin was about to break out of the room with his hind legs when he suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get something."

After finishing speaking, he went back, bent down and took out an exquisite wooden box from the small compartment at the bottom of the closet. When he opened it, there was a koi jade pendant given to him by Zhuang Nian. Chi Jin took out the jade pendant without hesitation , hurriedly put it on the waist, and walked out quickly.

"Let's go, time is running out." As soon as Shen Shi passed Yancheng, the city gate was about to be closed, and they had to rush over.

The two people who hurried out didn't notice that Chi Jin didn't hang the jade pendant on his waist in a daze.

When Chi Jin stepped over the scattered palace clothes on the ground, the jade pendant that was supposed to be hanging on Chi Jin's waist fell off, and happened to fall on the pile of complicated clothes, and slipped in through the gap In the pile of clothes, there was no sound.

At the same time, in the palace.

After Yan Zhuangze briefly explained what Doctor Zhang was going to do later, and ordered him to keep it secret, he took people to Chi Jin's Jinyi Palace.

After turning a corner, you can see Jinyi Palace not far away. Yan Zhuangze looked up and was surprised to find that black smoke was rising from the direction of Jinyi Palace. People can see clearly.

He walked a little closer, smelling the burnt smell wafting in the wind, and immediately shouted at the palace servants behind him and the accompanying imperial guards: "It's flooded, hurry up and put out the fire!"

After the words fell, he used his lightness kung fu and headed towards Jinyi Palace first.

Lin Yongquan calmly and quickly sent a team of imperial guards to put out the fire, and the remaining one went to inform the others to help, and then rushed to Jinyi Palace, which was in the water.

When the others got there, Yan Zhuangze was trying to rush in to save people, but he was forced back by the closed palace door and the scorching flames, describing himself in a state of embarrassment. He looked furiously at the burning palace, and when he looked around, there was no one in the palace!

Yan Zhuangze stared closely at the palace gate that was engulfed by flames, and shouted angrily: "Where are people? Where have they all gone?!"

It just so happened that at this time a court lady who had been dismissed by Chi Jin rushed back, and when she heard the emperor's angry shout, she immediately softened her legs, knelt down and begged for mercy: "Go back to the emperor, the concubine Jin sent all the palace people away today. "

Yan Zhuangze glanced at her coldly, obviously just glanced hastily, but it made the palace maid's back break out in cold sweat.

He only heard his tone of voice said: "Concubine Jin is inside?"

The maid shook her head helplessly: "I don't know, I just came back."

Just at this moment, the guards came over with buckets and shovels, Yan Zhuangze ignored the maid who knew nothing, and hurriedly urged: "Hurry up and put out the fire!"

"Yes!" Some of the guards went to fetch water from the pond not far away, and some dug soil to suppress the flames, and they started to put out the fire methodically and quickly.

Fortunately, even though Yan Zhuangze found out, the fire only burned to the inside, and the beams of the house were not burned down so quickly. The seemingly raging flames gradually shrank under the efforts of everyone.

Looking at the Jinyi Palace that was swept by the flames, Yan Zhuangze suddenly missed a beat in his heart, as if something big was about to happen, feeling a little uneasy.

He looked at the idle shovel thrown on the ground, bent down to pick it up without hesitation, and shoveled the soil towards the place where there was fire.

Yan Zhuangze stared darkly at the inner hall where the fire was the most fierce. Even the light of the fire could not illuminate his deep pupils, hoping that Concubine Jin was not inside.

Seeing that the fire gradually decreased to the point where he could bear it, he no longer hesitated, grabbed a bucket filled with water from a guard and poured it on himself, then kicked open the door of the inner hall and rushed in.
