What!

Pride has stood for three hundred years, and has been lingering in natural disasters such as floods, hurricanes, insect bites, ants, etc., but has remained unstoppable. The Star Pearl Tower, which symbolizes the spirit of Xu, caught fire on the Mid-Autumn Night?

It is obvious that the weather is very good outside, so the fire is definitely due to human factors. Could it be that Zhaixing Tower will eventually be destroyed by man-made disasters?

In an instant, the banquet scene was in chaos, screaming and crying endlessly. The scared palace maids hid in the corridor surrounding the venue, but the corridor was a wooden structure, and here was the fifth floor of Zhaixing Tower. If the fire spreads, hiding in the corridor outside was definitely not a solution.

Chen Lang calmed down and found that a heat was rising from the soles of his feet. The third princess next to him changed her face and stretched out her hand to grab Chen Lang's collar, but hesitated.

She was a little shorter than Chen Lang, and hid behind Chen Lang and looked forward timidly. Chen Lang rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush to the stairs to find out. Suddenly, Chen Lang was alert, and there were a few gazes around him staring at him with ulterior motives.

Those eyes were as if they were naked and sharp arrows, and they wanted to penetrate Chen Lang.

What to do?

Can I blame me for the fire in Zhaixing Tower? Even if I am an outsider or even an enemy, I don’t think of this false pot of inflicted attention on my head.

Chen Lang stared at his eyes and was about to push back all the bad eyes, but in the end he gave up.

endure……

This is the only choice Chen Lang can make.

Suddenly Yin Baichuan stepped forward in front of Chen Lang, and his face turned cold: "Be careful, your highness, there may be variables here."

"Has anyone set fire on purpose?" Chen Lang asked with a frown.

"I don't know, but the situation is more serious than I imagined." Yin Baichuan pressed the hilt of the sword with his fingers and was ready to make a move at any time. He had just gone to the stairs to investigate urgently. Based on his experience, the matter was absolutely extraordinary. Perhaps, someone wanted to take advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner to uproot the royal family of King Xu?

Crack ~

After experiencing the initial panic, the fifth floor of Zhaixing Tower was not so chaotic. Everyone opened their ears and could hear the shouts below and the sound of fire spreading.

Several imperial guards rushed in with dust on their faces. When Eunuch Jia saw this, he quickly waved Fo Chen: "Hurry up and protect him!"

Yes, the most important thing now is to protect Emperor Xu and the Queen Mother and the Queen’s safety. The Imperial Guards were walking side by side, but Emperor Xu sternly said to them: “Go back and put out the fire quickly, I will be fine!”

A roar shocked the audience and comforted the people's hearts.

Chen Lang looked up at the tall Emperor Xu, and saw that he was calm in the face of danger and urgently planned a response plan with several ministers. He left a certain imperial guard who had just arrived to explain the situation, and then arranged for Linghu Suting to protect the elderly, weak, women and children, and then ordered the Minister of Personnel Ou Jian to direct the fire.

not simple……

Chen Lang sighed silently in his heart that Ai Yang, as the Emperor of Xu, was able to quickly stabilize the situation when facing a sudden fire. No wonder Liang State could not beat him.

Puff ~

Suddenly, a flame leaped up the fifth floor stairs, which scared Ou Jian and others who were about to go against the road showed fear. You must know that Zhaixing Tower is a wooden building and there must be no tap water pipes in the building, so how easy is it to put out the fire?

"Ah! Ah!"

The palace maid screamed from the corridor outside. Because she saw that the flame had spread to the external wall of Zhaixing Tower. Assuming that the fire rushed up along the outer wall with the wind, the entire Zhaixing Tower would be surrounded by flames.

what to do?

Now let alone extinguishing fires to protect Zhaixing Tower, it is hard to even escape than climbing to the sky. You can’t just jump off the fifth floor of Zhaixing Tower.

At this moment, the nearby residents had already taken action. They carried buckets and joined the firefighting team. Since Zhaixing Tower was adjacent to Ningjiang, which runs through Xu State, there was sufficient water supply, but how to quickly transfer the water from Ningjiang to Zhaixing Tower is a big problem.

Linghu Suting spread his arms to protect the Queen Mother and others, while Ou Jian led a few big guards to go against the side. They all took off their clothes and were naked, preparing to extinguish the fire by slapping and covering them.

In order to prevent fire, several buckets of water are always available on each floor of Zhaixing Tower, but these waters are suitable for the sporadic flames when the fire is just starting. When the flames really spread, they turn into drizzles.

"Help!"

"Help!"

"Help!"

There were shrill screams from below, which made all the guests frightened. Now everyone knew that the fire-fighting operation inside the Zhaixing Tower might have failed, and the guards stationed at the lower floors were as dead as silk.

Xu Huang gritted his teeth.

The development of things far exceeded Xu Huang's expectations. Why did the Zhaixing Tower have a rapid fire? In theory, if it was just a little bit of fire, the guards on duty below, plus the already prepared clean water, are completely enough to deal with it.

Could it be that someone deliberately set fire?

Before he could think too much, Xu Huang strided towards the corridor outside.

"Let's leave the banquet hall soon, too."

The third princess subconsciously dragged Chen Lang's clothes and wanted Chen Lang to follow Xu Huang's footsteps with her.

"Cough! Cough!"

At this time, Ou Jian and others who were fighting against the fire suddenly coughed and frostled violently, and then bursts of thick smoke rolled onto the fifth floor of Zhaixing Tower.

Thick smoke!

Chen Lang suddenly thought that he had learned in school before, and the most harmful thing in a fire was not the flame, but the suffocating thick smoke. At this critical moment, Chen Lang didn't care about patience and low-keyness. He shouted loudly:

"The people on the other side of the stairs are now lying down. The smoke is lighter than the air and usually floats upwards, so there is more oxygen on the floor!"

As he said that, Chen Lang crawled first, then supported his body with his arms and moved towards the corridor outside. Although his position was still a distance from the stairs that were filled with smoke.

What is oxygen?

Ou Jian and others couldn't understand it, but they still lay down as they said. Sure enough, their breathing became smooth after lying down, unlike when they took a breath just now, the smoke flowed into their mouths and noses.

Now everyone is in a state of panic. Seeing Chen Lang and Ou Jian lying down, other guests also gave up their so-called face and dignity, fell to the ground, and then crawled towards the corridor.

Not to mention, in the face of a fire, this posture can slightly increase the sense of security.

With his neck stretched out of the railing, Chen Lang looked down and saw countless blurred figures in the dark, carrying buckets to put out the fire. The warriors on their battlefield were determined and fearless. However, their efficiency was too low. It would be difficult to produce results with this purely artificial back and forth method.

Oops!

Chen Lang became increasingly nervous, but he had not lost his mind yet. He quietly stood up and hid in the corner, took out his golden fingers on his back. After thinking for a while, Chen Lang muttered in his heart:

[The fire in Zhaixing Tower, the front escapes from the stairs and puts out the fire, and the back escapes from the wall outside Zhaixing Tower]

Ding ~

Chen Lang lowered his arm and gently threw out the copper plate. The running height did not exceed Chen Lang's forehead. He prayed repeatedly and never had the copper plate erect.
