"Liang Chengyi" Liu Cheng shouted.
Liang Chengyi, who was in a state of embarrassment, walked over and knelt down with a dejected look on his face: "General, it is not good for me to serve as a guard for the Queen Mother, and I deserve death."
Liu Cheng grabbed Liang Chengyi's armor and pulled him in front of him and roared: "I will leave the Queen Mother completely to you to protect her.
How did you do it?
Queen Mother, where were you when something happened to the Queen Mother?"
"General, I was ordered by the Queen Mother to go to Yong'an Palace to put out the fire.
I realized later that someone might have deliberately set a fire in Yong'an Palace.
Let me move away from the Queen Mother."
"Yeah, yeah."
Liu looked like an angry lion.
He was completely confused at this time.
The veins on his forehead popped out and the blood vessels on his neck bulged.
He was about to draw a knife to kill someone to vent his anger, but he saw a little eunuch mentioning Holding the wet blanket, he immediately rushed over, grabbed the blanket, draped it around him and rushed into the raging fire.
Liang Chengyi saw this scene and let out a shrill cry: "General" after shouting, he gritted his teeth and stood up and rushed towards the fire.
"My lord, you can't do it, you can't do it."
Several soldiers immediately grabbed Liang Chengyi and rushed into the fire without protection.
He was certain to die.
Liu Cheng was still wearing a wet blanket, so he had a chance to survive.
Liang Chengyi saw that all the soldiers were standing, and only the eunuchs and maids were putting out the fire.
His first soldier got angry and yelled: "You are standing here to put out the fire, it's your uncle's fault."
The soldiers woke up from a dream and went to find basins and buckets to put out the fire.
But Liu Cheng rushed into the palace wearing a wet blanket.
At this time, the temperature in the palace was very high, there was no oxygen at all, and there was a lot of thick smoke.
He could only squint his eyes and use his familiarity with Deyang Palace to touch the palace. .
Stumbling under his feet, he looked down and found two corpses burning on the ground.
The two men were wearing armor.
The armor had not been burned for a while.
He could vaguely see the corpses of two soldiers.
He immediately Touch forward.
When he reached the dormitory, a strong burst of smoke rushed over him.
He had to turn around and walk backwards into the dormitory.
When he retreated to the middle of the dormitory, he stumbled again and almost tripped.
When he turned around, he saw another corpse.
Moreover, it was a female corpse that was burning.
All her clothes had been burned off, and her flesh and blood had been almost burned to char.
Liu Cheng's heart thumped, and he quickly beat the burning female corpse with a wet blanket, finally extinguishing the fire on the female corpse.
After a closer look, he found that the height and shape were wrong.
Queen Mother He was seven feet one, and this palace maid was obviously not that tall.
There were no other corpses in the palace, and Liu Cheng already felt chest tightness.
He knew he had to breathe, otherwise he would be suffocated to death.
He immediately rushed to the main hall wearing a wet blanket.
As soon as he rushed to the middle of the main hall, several sticks burned on his head.
A huge tree fell from the sky and blocked his way, and he was almost hit.
"I can't hold it in anymore, I can't hold it in anymore."
Liu Cheng's brain had begun to become dizzy due to lack of oxygen.

At this moment, an idea flashed in his mind, and he suddenly remembered that there was a tunnel under the Empress Dowager He's throne, and he immediately rushed to the throne.
Pressing the button under the seat, Luan's seat moved to the side, and he immediately rolled into the tunnel.
"Huhuhu" Liu Cheng lay on the ground and gasped.
"Yeah."
Liu Cheng sensed something was wrong.
There was a person next to him.
He immediately stood up and touched the wall.
He touched a mechanism.
After twisting it, lights were lit on both sides of the tunnel's walls.
Liu Cheng looked up to the ground again and saw a gorgeously dressed woman lying on the ground.
She was not the Queen Mother He.
He immediately rushed over and hugged the Queen Mother He and shouted: "Queen Mother, Queen Mother" Black blood flowed from the corners of Queen Mother He's mouth.
Liu Cheng's expression changed.
He reached out to the side of Queen Mother He's neck and touched it.
There was still a pulse.
He was delighted and immediately picked up Queen Mother He and ran to the depths of the tunnel.
The fire in Deyang Palace burned all night.
Because it was discovered too late, even though a lot of manpower was invested, the fire could not be extinguished.
The fire did not decrease until dawn, and the sky was already bright when it was extinguished.
Zhao Yun, Yan Xing, Zhao Rui, Wang Shuang and a large number of Liu Cheng's generals, who had already received the news, felt cold in their hearts at this time.
With a "clang", the Coiling Dragon Spear in Zhao Yun's hand fell to the ground, and he knelt in front of Deyang Hall.
"Brother" Yan Xing let out a sad roar and knelt on the ground.
"Plop, puff" the generals, eunuchs and maids threw away their weapons, basins and buckets one by one, and all knelt on the ground.
The Queen Mother and the right general were burned to death.
What a big deal this was, the eunuchs and maids At this time, they have already thought about their tragic ending.
If such a big thing happens, someone must be responsible for it, and they, the eunuchs and maids, will probably all be executed and buried with them.
At this time, Liang Chengyi cried out in tears: "General, my subordinates neglected their duties and failed to escort and protect them.
As a result, the Queen Mother and the general were buried in the sea of fire.
How can I survive?
I will come to accompany you."
After that, he drew his sword and committed suicide.
Blood was spread all over the floor.
The soldiers burst into tears and watched helplessly as Liang Chengyi drew his sword and killed himself but could not stop him.
The eunuchs and maids were already in despair.
"Clang" Suddenly, a large beam that had been burned into charcoal on the original site of the main hall was lifted, and several frames that had fallen to the ground were lifted.
A tall and embarrassed figure emerged from the ground, coughing non-stop: "Cough, cough, cough." cough" "General, it's the general, the general is not dead" a soldier shouted.
Everyone looked around, and sure enough they saw Liu Cheng, covered in black, walking out of the ruins.
His hair was all burnt off, and his face was blackened by smoke.
Zhao Yun, Yan Xing and others were overjoyed.
They got up and rushed over to hug Liu Cheng.
"Hahaha, brother, you're not dead.
That's great.
It's okay."
Zhao Rui said with tears: "I just said that the general is blessed with great fortune, how can he die so easily?"
Liu Cheng patted everyone on the shoulders one by one and said to everyone: "I'm fine, but the Queen Mother is fine.

Please calm down.
There were two fires in the palace.
There is something fishy about this.
We must get to the bottom of it.
Yan Xing, I leave this matter to you to investigate.
No matter who is found to have done it, I will tell him that he was torn into pieces."
Yan Xing clasped his fists and agreed: "Promise" "Collect the bones and remains and send word to the Luoyang County government officials to come."
The soldiers began to clean up the ruins and collect the skeletons in the ruins.
The widower rushed over quickly.
Wang Shuang took the widower to Liu Cheng and reported: "General, the widower from Luoyang County Government has arrived."
A middle-aged man bowed to Liu Cheng and said: "You see the general when you are a villain."
Liu Cheng pointed to the four charcoal-like corpses placed on the white cloth on the ground and said: "After the Deyang Palace was flooded, the Queen Mother stayed in the palace and did not come out.
The soldiers cleaned up these corpses from the ruins. , this general wants you to find the Queen Mother’s body among these corpses.”
Wu Zuo walked over and inspected it carefully, identifying it from the body shape, skeleton, skull and pelvis.
Then he stood up and clasped his fists at Liu Cheng and said, "General Qi, two of these four corpses are male corpses and the other two are female corpses."
"Among the two female corpses, one has a small skeleton and the other has a tall skeleton."
"Which two are female corpses?"
"These two bodies," Wuzuo said, pointing to the two corpses on the far right.
Liu Cheng asked: "You mean one of the female corpses is the Queen Mother?"
Wu Zuo knelt down and said: "If the Queen Mother failed to escape after the fire, and if there are no other female corpses in the ruins, then one of the two corpses is the Queen Mother's phoenix body."
Liu Chengdao: "I remember that the Queen Mother has a strong figure and is much taller than ordinary women, about seven feet and one inch."
Wu Zuo immediately walked over to the tall female corpse and made an estimate.
He stood up and bowed to Liu Cheng: "General, the size of this corpse is almost the same as what the general described.
It should be the phoenix body of the Queen Mother."
No doubt” Liu Bian cried loudly and threw himself at the female corpse: "Mother, mother!"
Liu Cheng grabbed him and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, please forgive me."
Liu Bian cried so hard that although King Chenliu and Liu Xie hated the Queen Mother He for being evil-hearted and always wanted to kill him, he was still very grateful to his brother Liu Bian.
If this brother hadn't protected him, he would have died long ago.
Now he Looking at Liu Bian He was crying so sadly, but his heart was touched.
He stepped forward to comfort him: "Brother, please take care of your dragon body.
This great country is pressing on your shoulders.
Brother, you must not make any mistakes.
You must brace yourself to deal with it."
It’s only for the Queen Mother’s funeral affairs.”
Liu Bian wiped away his tears and said to Liu Cheng: "Liu Qing's family has no owner and is in chaos.
It's up to you to take care of my mother's affairs."
Liu Cheng said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am just a warrior.
I don't understand many etiquette and regulations.
It is inappropriate for me to take care of the Queen Mother's concubines.
The person in charge of the funeral is Taichang Mansion.
I think it is better to leave it to Taichang."
It would be most appropriate for Ma Rixi to take care of it.
Your Majesty, please order someone to restrain the Queen Mother's body and order someone from the palace to take over.
The Empress Dowager's phoenix body was carefully decorated and decorated, and she ordered people to build a coffin and prepare a shroud.
She then rang the bell to announce to the people that the Empress Dowager's phoenix body had passed away.

She ordered the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to enter the palace to pay homage, and the people of the world were not allowed to do anything during the funeral.
No celebrations are allowed for weddings, birthday banquets and other happy events, and all Goulan brothels will be closed.”
Liu Bian said: "Okay, let's do it like this, Zhao Chun, pass on my will."
"Follow the decree" At this time, many courtiers had gathered outside the palace gate.
They all came here after learning about the fire in the palace.
Some people had come early, but the palace door was not open and they could not get in.
They could only worry outside.
"Dong, dong, dong, dong" the palace bells rang.
The courtiers' hearts tightened and they began to silently count the number of bells.
When the bells ended, many ministers knelt down and cried loudly: "The Queen Mother has collapsed":
