Chapter 347 Fire
Jin'er is gone.
What else is he afraid of?
He is no longer afraid of anything and doesn't want anything.
So, Li took the thick stick from his hand and walked towards Tang Yue'er.

late at night.
The Zhou emperor was ill and had a high fever.
Because there had been no progress in the recent search for the Shanrong leader in the capital, Emperor Zhou had been feeling uneasy and finally fell ill.
This was not the first time he had fallen ill since the Shanrong incident; he had fallen ill once before.
But this time it is more serious than usual, and I even had a fever today.
Although it was late at night, there were still people coming and going outside Changming Palace, and several imperial doctors were busy treating the emperor's illness.
Today I am on duty in Chentang.
He patrolled outside Changming Palace with a sword and a few guards.
In the palace.
Although the high fever of Emperor Zhou had not subsided after taking the medicine, his condition became stable and he finally fell asleep. The imperial doctors had been busy all night and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The emperor had not had a good rest for a long time since he fell ill, so Li Bo asked the two attending doctors to stay in the next room. He tucked in the corners of the quilt for the emperor and left only two eunuchs to guard the hall. He ordered everyone else to leave and closed the door quietly.
Things finally calmed down outside.
Everyone in Changming Palace, who had been busy the entire night, was praying that the emperor would recover by the next morning, otherwise there would be chaos in the world.
But the room at this moment was not as peaceful as it appeared.
Emperor Zhou is having a nightmare!
He dreamed of the scene in which he burned the great general Chu Rong of Shanrong to death. At that time, the Shanrong tribe repeatedly invaded the border, and the Zhou emperor personally led the expedition, but was captured, imprisoned and humiliated by the Shanrong tribe. After escaping, the Zhou emperor hated the Shanrong so much that he was determined to skin and bone the Shanrong. So after capturing the great general of Shanrong, he chose to burn him alive to relieve his hatred!
He still remembered Chu Rong being tied to a stick in the desert. The fire had already started and soon surrounded him. The scorching flames emitted black smoke, and even the surrounding Zhou Dynasty soldiers felt the rolling heat and stepped back inadvertently.
But Chu Rong, who was in the fire, was not afraid at all.
Suddenly, he burst into laughter!
His beard was shaking constantly because of his laughter!
Emperor Zhou had never seen anyone laugh so loudly while being burned by fire!
This scene really scared him, and he subconsciously stepped back!
Seeing that the Zhou Emperor was afraid, Chu Rong became even more arrogant. He laughed wildly and then opened his eyes wide and said, "Zhou people, I will take revenge! After I die, the Shanrong will avenge me for generations. I want you to live in fear for the rest of your life, because sooner or later you will die at the hands of the Shanrong people!"
“It won’t end well! Hahahaha! Haha!”
The fire burned more and more vigorously, and the flames made a "sizzling" sound, mixed with Chu Rong's crazy laughter, echoing through the desert sky.
At this time, Emperor Zhou, who was lying on the bed, was trembling with sweat.
That scene has been his nightmare and heart knot for many years.
The terrible will and never-give-up spirit of the Shanrong people have always been a thorn in the heart of Emperor Zhou! So for so many years, he has never been to the northwest again!
He is also very cautious in his daily life and checks the people around him carefully.
But I didn’t expect that the Shanrong would still sneak in!
He will die at the hands of Shanrong!
The dry lips of Emperor Zhou kept trembling. Because of such fear, Emperor Zhou in the dream clearly saw that the fire did not burn Chu Rong to death. On the contrary, he walked out of the fire with a face that was burned beyond recognition. He walked in front of him twisting and turning.
Emperor Zhou was frightened to the point of suffocation. He wanted to escape, but for some reason, his feet felt like they were filled with lead and he couldn't lift them at all.
Seeing that scary face coming in front of him, he could even see Chu Rong's pair of black and arrogant eyes hanging in it.
"Ah!" With a loud shout, Emperor Zhou suddenly sat up from the bed!
*
Emperor Zhou discovered this only after he sat up from inside the bed.
It turned out to be a dream!
But this dream was too real, just like the real thing. Emperor Zhou was still very scared. He sat on the bed, gasping for breath, trying to calm himself down.
After he calmed down, Emperor Zhou ordered, "Water!"
Quiet.
It was surprisingly quiet in Changming Palace.
No one answered him.
Emperor Zhou found it very strange.
Where are the people? Where have they gone?
So Emperor Zhou sat on the bed and shouted to the empty palace: "Someone come!"
Still no one came.
The palace was so big that only two small oil lamps were flickering in the corner. His voice almost echoed in the empty palace.
Somehow, Emperor Zhou suddenly felt very uneasy in the palace where he had lived for so many years.
His breathing became rapid again.
Thinking of this, all the hot sweat that Emperor Zhou had just sweated due to his illness turned into cold sweat, and an ominous premonition swept over his whole body.
Emperor Zhou immediately stood up and prepared to go out.
At this moment, with a "Puff!" sound, an oil lamp in the corner of the palace was blown out by the wind from nowhere. The palace became darker.
Emperor Zhou was startled.
The windows around here are all closed, where does the wind come from?
As he was thinking this, suddenly another gust of wind blew from behind him. He felt a chill on his back and also felt that someone was standing behind him.
Emperor Zhou froze there.
Cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
He turned around suddenly and saw a burnt face with holes all over it in front of him.
At this moment, that face merged with the face of Chu Rong in his dream.
Emperor Zhou screamed in horror, the most horrifying cry of his life: "Ah!"
*
Outside Changming Palace.
The palace was not quiet tonight. Soldiers holding torches were moving quickly around the palace. Maids and eunuchs were also walking in and out with lanterns.
Seems to be looking for something.
The entire palace was brightly lit.
Li Bo, holding a whisk, walked through the crowd and went straight to Bai Yanli who was giving orders: "Seventh Prince, are you sure that man has entered the palace?" The situation was tense. He had just heard that the leader of the Shanrong had sneaked into the palace, and the Seventh Prince brought people into the palace to arrest him.
This is a big deal. The emperor has always been wary of the Shanrong tribe. He fell ill this time because of the Shanrong tribe. If the emperor knew that the leader of the Shanrong had entered the palace, what would happen then?
Bai Yanli nodded and greeted him when he saw him coming: "Eunuch Li, my father asked me to capture the leader of Shanrong. I had roughly known his whereabouts a few days ago, but unfortunately I haven't found him yet. Tonight, my men reported that he has been found, but he has entered the palace!"
It's true.
Li Bo felt his heart tighten. No wonder His Majesty was so anxious, the Shanrong tribe was really cunning. They had made such arrangements for the past few months, but they still couldn't stop them.
Li Bo was anxious and could only order the servants passing by: "Hurry up, hurry up, find the person for me! Don't be lazy!"
Then he turned to Bai Yanli and said, "Seventh Prince, thank you for your hard work."
Bai Yanli nodded and asked again: "How is Father?"
He heard that Emperor Zhou had been running a fever these days, but he didn't know what was wrong with him.
