Mao Bowen and Yang Chengzu seem to have some impression of this name, but they really can't seem to remember who it is.
They only vaguely remember that the opening poem about the general's courage on the stage seems to have something to do with him.
But this relationship is not important at all now.
He only knows that this person is a strong competitor of his.
The promotion official in Wei Hui Mansion is a civil official position.
It seems that the person's age is not too young.
However, his hands and feet are still nimble and his speed is not slow at all.
And when he announced his identity as Wei Hui's official, these eunuchs dispersed to the left and right, blocking Yang Chengzu's way forward.
"Grudge" Yang Chengzu cursed in his heart, but he still raised his arms and knocked away several young eunuchs blocking the road, and ran after Mao Bowen.
At this time, there were still screams and wailing everywhere in the palace.
Under the influence of fire and smoke, people's vision is greatly affected.
Mao Bowen obviously had no training in rescuing people in fires.
He only used a wet blanket to cover his body, but did not use a wet cloth to protect his mouth and nose like Yang Chengzu did.
The thick smoke was choking, and the push officer who risked his life to save people was coughing and his steps slowed down unconsciously.
Shockingly, he felt a strong force coming from behind.
He didn't even have time to cry out for help before he fell heavily to the side.
Next to him, there was a thorn bush that had never been burned.
If a person fell in and tried to stand up, he would have to struggle.
When he finally struggled to get up, there was smoke everywhere.
Looking for Sijun's residence had become abnormal. difficulty.
Mao Bowen stumbled and sighed: "Who is this?
Who pushed me?
Come help me quickly."
Yang Chengzu knew the emperor's residence very well.
Although the fireworks were big, they could not hinder him from finding the way.
When I came outside the door, I saw that the place was surrounded by fire, and the fire was blazing on the roof.
I didn't know when the whole house would be burned down by the fire.
A large stone was placed at the door, apparently to prevent people in the room from opening the door and escaping.
He turned to the window, kicked it open, and the person rolled in.
Zhu Houcong was huddled in the corner, his mind already a little confused.
The number of people who were actually burned to death by fire was far less than those who were choked to death by smoke.
The smoke coming in from the doors and windows made the future emperor choke to death and made him feel dizzy.
In his hand, he was clutching a scripture given to him by Tao Zhongwen.
It was obvious that before Yang Chengzu broke in, he had been asking for help from the gods.
As a young man who has grown up in the hands of a woman in a deep palace, it would be too much to expect him to escape on his own.
When the fire started, he had completely lost all care.
When the smoke came in, he didn't know what to do.
As soon as the window opened, heat waves and smoke rushed in.
Zhu Houcong's body moved subconsciously, and Yang Chengzu said: "Long live, it's Wei Chen who is here to save you.
Don't worry, nothing will happen."
He carried the person behind his back and rushed towards the window without saying a word.
As soon as he jumped out, there was a loud noise behind him.
Looking back, it turned out that the fire had already destroyed the house.
If it had been a step later, both of them would have died in the flames.
After leaving the fire scene and having fresh air and clear water, Zhu Houcong quickly regained his consciousness.

The next thing he saw in front of him was Yang Chengzu, who was in a state of embarrassment.
The clothes on his head and body were in disrepair.
It was already dark and he couldn't see clearly the appearance of his face, but by the light of the stars and the moon, he could also see injuries on his face.
"Did brother save me?"
Zhu Houcong asked in a hoarse voice.
"The guilty minister was unlucky to protect me, so please be punished by Long Live."
Yang Chengzu knelt on the ground, "Actually, it was Long Live who saved me.
In the sea of fire, I was miserable, but at the critical moment, Long Live's body emitted bursts of red light. , the fire retreated within three feet of Banzai and did not dare to get close.
It was only with the blessing of Banzai that I rushed out of the fire.
To be honest, it was Banzai who saved me. " "Forget it, if you keep saying this to deceive others, don't say it to me.
In fact, when the fire broke out, I pushed the door with my hand, but I couldn't push it open.
I thought that this time, I really couldn't enter Beijing.
In the end, it was still the eldest brother.
Huang Jin, this damn slave, will be killed by me when this is over."
This method is obviously artificial arson.
Based on Yang Chengzu's previous report, it is easy to infer that the arsonist is the White Lotus Sect bandit.
Yang Chengzu said: "This is all my fault.
I found out that the White Lotus demon has appeared here before, so I wanted to ask Long live to move to another place tonight.
But I don't know what method the demon used, so I can't just urge them.
I don't want them to be here.
There is an internal agent in the palace.
I am a military minister and I am responsible for the safety of Banzai.
It is my fault that I was frightened and cannot be blamed on others. " "Nonsense" Zhu Houcong raised his tone and touched the damage on Yang Chengzu's clothes tremblingly.
The emperor, who had escaped from the sea of fire, was obviously still very nervous.
It's just that he was trying to appear calm, but unfortunately his trembling limbs and torso still betrayed his true emotions.
"Eldest brother risked his life to save the car.
In order to save the orphan, he lost all his hair and skin.
If this is also a crime, then what is a merit?
In the eyes of the eldest brother, I am a foolish king who can't even tell the difference between a loyal, a traitor, a fool and a virtuous man.
From today on, the eldest brother will This is my crown.
As long as I am with you, you will be as rich as you are.
If you violate this, heaven and earth will not tolerate it."
This is a superstitious era, an era where everyone from top to bottom believes in the induction of heaven and man.
Such words coming from the emperor's mouth are not just casual words.
In other words, this is an ironclad book of elixirs that has not been implemented in practice.
If you don't take the initiative to seek death, you can save your life by just relying on these words.
No worries about life.
Yang Chengzu was ecstatic in his heart.
The performance tonight was not in vain, and the risk was not in vain.
He finally got what he wanted.
Before that, in Zhu Houcong's mind, compared with Lu Bing, Huang Jin and others, his weight might be slightly heavier, but it might not be that heavy.
But after this fire, the most important minister in the future emperor's heart must be himself.
Zhu Houcong recalled his despair and helplessness in the sea of fire.
At that moment, death was so close to him.
It was the brother in front of him who pulled him back from the brink of death.

Whether it was the system of civil and military affairs or the balance, they were not so important in the emperor's heart at this time.
Only this brotherhood and the kinship that could not be made public kept the emperor deeply in mind.
"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness," calls came from afar, and several angels from the capital were already holding torches and lanterns coming from afar.
No one expected that such a thing would happen.
From Liang Chu onwards, everyone's faces were not very good-looking.
A large piece of Guo Xun's hair and beard were burned away by the fire.
It seemed that although he failed to save the emperor, he did lead the way into the sea of fire.
"Your Highness, are you in good health?"
Liang Chu was the first to rush over.
He was the leader of this group.
If there was any problem with Zhu Houcong's safety, he would not be able to shake the blame.
"Everything is fine for me, but the same may not be true for others.
Please order Liang Ge to go down, treat the injured, count the losses, and most importantly, we must find out the cause of the fire.
No assassin can escape.
We must find out their details and leave no one behind”:
