The golden finger jumped to the opposite side and guided Chen Lang to escape from the wall outside the Zhaixing Tower. However, there were five stories high under his feet, so it was not easy to escape.

At this moment, Emperor Xu was also in a dilemma. Should we give up Zhaixing Tower, which symbolizes the spirit of Xu, and focus on saving our lives? If we give up Zhaixing Tower, how should we escape from danger?

Emperor Xu needed suggestions, and everyone around him wanted to give suggestions. But they were afraid that they would make mistakes. If they were held accountable for their mistakes, they would probably lose their heads and even kill the nine clans.

After all, the current situation of the spread of flames is not urgent. But if you don’t take action, you may not have a chance.

Chen Lang looked out with his eyes squinting out, and the fire reflected the black earth. Although he couldn't see clearly, Chen Lang could calculate that from the fifth-floor Star Picking Tower to the ground, he would probably die if he jumped directly, and would also affect the civilians who were putting out the fire below.

Since you can't jump off the building directly, can you climb down?

At dusk today, Chen Lang happened to pay attention to the appearance of the Star Picking Tower when he attended the banquet. From the surface, each floor of the Star Picking Tower was slightly smaller than the next floor. The reduction was not obvious, but if you grasp it properly, you can still hang it step by step along the external wall, layer by layer, and reach the ground.

"What should I do now?" The third princess was so anxious that she seemed to cry.

Looking at the other female relatives, their condition is similar to that of the Third Princess. But everyone can't think of any solution, let alone, Emperor Xu had ordered the fire to be put out before and if he did not change his order, who would dare to act without authorization?

Chen Lang gritted his teeth and walked towards Emperor Xu. When he passed by the Empress Dowager, Chen Lang heard the queen crying: "Please advise the emperor, let's run away quickly."

"Where can you escape now?" The Queen Mother shook her head sadly, "Let's wait quietly, don't cause trouble."

The Empress Dowager was right. Why didn’t Emperor Xu want to take everyone to escape? But wherever he was on the fifth floor of Zhaixing Tower, I’m afraid he would be dead.

Therefore, Emperor Xu ordered the fire to be put out before, hoping to block the flames from the floor below. However, the spread of the flames was beyond expectations, and all the water reserved in Zhaixing Tower was use up, but it was useless.

"It is not a solution to stay here, everyone should leave along the outer wall." Chen Lang walked behind Emperor Xu.

Emperor Xu was confused. When he heard this, he suddenly turned his head. He didn't care about diplomatic etiquette. Emperor Xu asked: "It's easy to say. If I could leave the outer wall, I would have given orders long ago!"

Chen Lang had no idea, but now he could only tentatively say: "The area of ​​each floor of Zhaixing Tower is slightly smaller than the floor below. If you have enough cultivation, you may be able to slowly climb down from the fifth floor with your bare hands. After going down, find a siege ladder or other ladders to rescue everyone else."

"Can you do it?" Xu Huang continued to question. Although his tone was stern, everyone could hear that Xu Huang was hoping that Chen Lang's plan would work.

Linghu Suting leaned over and looked out and looked out: "I would like to ask for help climbing down with bare hands. But it is definitely too late to find a ladder now. The height and stability of ladders in other residents' homes are not good, and even if they are layered up one by one, it is useless."

"What about using a quilt? First wet the quilt with water, and then twist it into a long rope." Chen Lang said anxiously.

"Did you say a quilt that is more than ten meters long?" Linghu Suting shook his head, "It is difficult to bear the weight of the human body at the interface."

"No!" Xu Huang's eyes shined, "In fact, there is no need to tie the quilt into a rope of more than ten meters. Since each floor of the Star Piercing Tower is slightly smaller than the next floor, it only needs to tie it into three meters and tie it to each floor. Then send the Imperial Guard to guard the interface to prevent accidental falls."

It makes sense!

Worth trying!

Linghu Suting focused his head, then supported the railing with his hands, jumped to the eaves raised on the top of the four-story building.

At the same time, when they heard Lu Xuan and Eunuch Jia who were just talking to each other, they conveyed the orders of Emperor Xu, a few more guards and eunuchs with good cultivation jumped to the corner of the eaves on the fourth floor.

"ah!"

With every jump, the people who were blowing fire or watching from below collectively exclaimed. Fortunately, Linghu Suting and others just jumped from the fifth floor to the fourth floor eaves corner, not directly jumping off the building.

"We'll go down too?" Chen Lang turned his head and asked Yin Baichuan.

"You can do it?" Yin Baichuan raised his eyebrows.

Chen Lang pressed his shoulder: "You take me with you."

"Okay." Yin Baichuan was not vague, and then jumped to the four eaves.

Chen Lang took a deep breath, supported the railing with one hand, and then carefully poked his feet. Yin Baichuan reached out to catch Chen Lang, and the two of them slowly squatted down at the corner of the eaves.

With wide eyes, the eaves of the third floor were faintly slim in the darkness. Yin Baichuan whispered: "I'll first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Baichuan rushed forward gently. He crossed the entire fourth floor of Zhaixing Tower in the air, then stretched out his arms and climbed the eaves of the third floor, and his body hung high.

"drink!"

Yin Baichuan thrust his butt up a few times, and soon turned to the corner of the eaves. He stretched out his hand and signaled Chen Lang to jump in this direction.

Chen Lang didn't dare to dive directly. He turned around and stretched out his feet, and his hands tightly hanged the eaves of the fourth floor.

"Come!" Yin Baichuan slowly walked towards Chen Lang.

Chen Lang leaned down with his feet, but he couldn't find the bottom no matter what. Turning his head, Chen Lang looked at Yin Baichuan's position, then plucked up the greatest courage, let his hands loose, and let his body fall down like a free fall.

Smack ~

Yin Baichuan took advantage of the situation to support Chen Lang's waist, and the latter easily landed on the ground.

Very good!

Chen Lang encouraged himself in his heart. Standing at the eaves of the third floor, bursts of heat fluttered up from below. It seems that the fire on the third floor is more rapid than the fourth floor. Perhaps it won’t take long, the fourth floor of Zhaixing Tower will burn like the third floor, and the highest fifth floor will be in danger.

"ah!"

"ah!"

Suddenly, a roar came from below. Chen Lang looked at him and saw a few firemen jumping out of the second corridor. They should be the Imperial Guards who put out the fire. Their firefighting greatly delayed the spread of the flames. Although they did not put out the fire, they were considered to have made great contributions.

As soon as the Imperial Guard landed, several buckets of water were poured out, and they rolled on the ground desperately. With all the efforts, all the burning flames on their bodies were extinguished.

Chen Lang and Yin Baichuan were not idle either, so they arrived at the ground step by step. Before this, Linghu Suting had already asked the people to find quilts. When Chen Lang and Yin Baichuan landed on the ground, many quilts had been taken down to Zhaixing Tower and were knotting.

Soon, several batches of three-meter-long quilt ropes were made. Chen Lang and others picked up the ropes and threw them at the guards or eunuchs waiting at the eaves of the second floor. The latter threw them up and then up.

It was divided into two routes in total, with Chen Lang and Yin Baichuan responsible for the left and Linghu Suting responsible for the right. Emperor Xu also began to act and ordered a eunuch with good cultivation to carry the empress dowager and slide downward.

Looking up, you can vaguely see that the Empress Dowager chose Chen Lang's line and the Linghu Suting line where Emperor Xu walked.

At the same time, the people who were extinguishing the fire in Zhaixing Tower also chose to escape, and the flames tended to burn more and more.

Suddenly Chen Lang discovered that there was basically no damage on the first floor of Zhaixing Tower. This shows that the fire started to burn from the second floor, and since the flames were all rising, the first floor was relatively safe.

This also brings some favorable conditions for firefighting, because the first floor of Zhaixing Tower is sufficient, giving fire extinguishers full room for full use.

Chen Lang raised his head high and watched the empress dowager gradually slide to the ground. At this time, someone next to him suddenly asked: "The one who slides down the rope over there is Emperor Xu."

"Yes." Chen Lang responded casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man swiftly dived. When he approached the line Linghu Suting was responsible for, his feet lightly tapped, and his body was like a falcon flying in the air.
