The fire burned very fast and spread in all directions in the blink of an eye. Soon, not only the street was on fire, but also the houses on one side were burned.
Chu Yuan was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene, but when the people who came to watch the excitement saw the fire, they immediately shouted loudly and ran away. When he saw those people running away, there was a smile in his eyes.
At this time, the streets were full of panicked people shouting: "The water has broken out, the water has broken out! Everyone, hurry up and put out the fire!"
In an instant, the street became a mess. Some people were fighting the fire, while others were running for their lives. The people who had come to enjoy the lanterns suddenly became a mess.
At this time, Chu Yuan didn't care how the lanterns burned, nor where the fire would burn. As soon as the people in front left, he grabbed the horse's belly and ran forward quickly.
At this moment, he saw a house not far away being burned by a fire from a lantern. The house was filled with firewood for heating in winter. When it was lit, the fire suddenly shot into the sky.
Chu Yuan still didn't take it to heart after seeing this scene and decided to continue running away.
But before he could run far, he heard a loud noise not far away, which shook the entire capital.
Chu Yuan's horse was frightened by the loud noise, spread its hooves and started running.
Chu Yuan was unprepared and was thrown off the horse, and his buttocks suddenly fell apart.
Whistles suddenly sounded in the surrounding streets, and Chu Yuan could tell that it was the sound of Jing Jiwei gathering. At this time, he finally felt a little scared, but he was not worried about how many people would be hurt by the loud noise just now.
, but he was afraid that Kyoji Wei would chase him and catch him, which would cause trouble.
After Chu Yuan fell off his horse, he was about to leave from the alley, but he heard the sound of wind behind him. He turned around and saw Chu Yi appearing in front of him wearing the robe of the leader of the Jingji Guards.
Chu Yuan had never taken Chu Yi seriously, so he said disapprovingly: "Get out of here!"
There was only a cold air in Chu Yi's eyes. He looked at Chu Yuan and said: "Today someone accused the eldest prince of riding a horse in the street and kicked down the people, set fire to the lanterns, and even set the arsenal on South Street on fire. This matter
Your Majesty, Chu Yi, as the leader of the Beijing Guards, maintains the safety of the capital. I can’t stop the eldest prince from doing such a thing today. Please ask the eldest prince to go to his father and mother to explain to them!"
Chu Yuan was a little anxious when he heard Chu Yi's words. He knew that kicking and injuring people in the street and burning lanterns might not be considered a big deal, but once the arsenal on South Street was blown up, the matter would be even bigger.
He then remembered that there were arsenals at the four gates of the capital. This habit was left over from the previous dynasty. When Emperor Taizu seized the capital, the officials and queens of the previous dynasty resisted and made Emperor Taizu eat it.
It was a big loss. At that time, it was because firearms were piled up at the four city gates that it was difficult to attack for a long time.
Because of this incident, after Emperor Taizu captured the capital, he prepared four warehouses not far from the four city gates, filled with various explosives and weapons.
Chu Yuan knew these things even if he was not successful. When he heard what Chu Yi said, he couldn't help but feel nervous.
But Chu Yuan never took Chu Yi seriously in his heart, so he said coldly: "Who are you? How dare you talk to me like this!"
