When Fujiwara Tadashi arrived at the open space surrounded by several close retainers, he discovered to his despair that several places in his residence were already on fire.
At this moment, the women and children in the mansion were crying one after another, and the retainers and warriors were also running to put out the fire.
At that time, a samurai stumbled towards that direction and reported that there were fires everywhere in those two streets, and the first street was not much better.
There are many ministers living in that area, especially many dignitaries from the Fujiwara clan.
"My lord, my lord is in trouble. Honghe Dharma Emperor, please take my lord's life."
"What?!" Fujiwara Tadashi's face instantly turned snow red.
"No, no, he has already made concessions. He no longer denies Guan Hong. He promised to let him go."
"Can you please tell me that there are people everywhere outside now shouting that in accordance with the decree of the Red River Emperor's Court, the Fujiwara clan will be killed, and they will be rewarded with the official position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice and ten thousand taels of gold..."
"A lot of thugs are coming towards that direction with weapons. I would like to ask my lord to quickly gather troops and horses. You must not retreat again and again."
"Lord, hurry up and order me. If you don't order me, the Fujiwara clan will ask..."
Looking at the retainers and samurai who were prostrating themselves on the ground, many members of the Fujiwara clan came one after another, crying and asking Fujiwara Tadashi, the clan leader, to make a decision.
Fujiwara Tadashi gritted his teeth viciously and shouted at one of the retainers who had just entered, asking if there was any fire in the palace.
After knowing that the palace was safe and sound, Fujiwara Tadashi finally no longer hesitated.
"Gather the warriors, gather all the retainers and warriors, Morijiro, I will lead the people to protect all the female relatives immediately and withdraw from there."
"He asked to enter the palace to see the emperor."
"At that time, I'm afraid my lord will not be allowed to enter the palace."
"If he doesn't enter the palace now, is it possible that he can go directly to Faju Temple?"
Although Fujiwara Tadashi was cowardly, he knew very well that at that time, there was someone who entered the palace first and controlled the little baby Emperor Toba who had just ascended the throne.
There may be a good chance of controlling the emperor who was raised up by the Red River Emperor.
When Fujiwara Tadashi was surrounded by a group of retainers and samurai, he rushed towards the Shurei Gate nearest to him.
After walking not far, I noticed that the southern part of Heianjing was not much better at the moment.
It seemed as if they were already in the middle of a raging fire, but at this moment, the wind was blowing from the south.
The burning smell mixed with unknown objects coming from the distance made Fujiwara Tadashi couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose.
If the Red River Patriarch wanted to take his own life, he could not have made up his mind to burn down the entire Ping An Capital.
Is it the Red River Patriarch, who has the courage to swim? Is it that bastard Fujiwara Tadai?
#####
Is it true, does he have that ability? Fujiwara Tadashi kept walking, and at this moment he saw many ministers, all of whom were gathering towards that direction from all directions in embarrassment.
After all, now, the entire Heianjing is in danger, and the only safe place is the palace with its palace walls.
From the very beginning, it was discovered that fires began to break out in the east and west cities of Heian Kyo.
Fujiwara Nobu, the governor of Zaemon Kyo who was ordered to protect Heian Kyo, immediately sent two troops to investigate.
Could it be that as fires began to rise everywhere in Heian Kyo, Fujiwara Nobu became numb all over.
At that time, he no longer cared about the issue of the fire in the port of Heiankyo, but wanted to protect the palace and not let anything happen to Emperor Toba.
Immediately dispatch troops and generals to guard the twelve gates of the palace.
Could it be that they didn't notice at all that the ground outside the palace gate was already covered with piles of stuff before they knew it...
In the dark night, Ren Hexuan cannot be seen at all.
And when Tadashi Fujiwara, the big boss of the Fujiwara clan, rushed to the palace gate with a bunch of confused ministers, many people felt that their feet were sticky or even slipping.
Some people smelled the fragrance of honey bees, but at that time, everyone was running for their lives. Even if a honey pot really fell nearby, I couldn't lie down on the ground and lick it, right?
At this moment, the Japanese ministers and dignitaries at the gate of the palace were roaring loudly, hoping that the defenders in the palace would open the gate and let them out to avoid trouble.
As more and more people gathered outside the palace gate, one by one the ministers who came to call the door began to reveal their identities.
If Fujiwara Shinya, the governor of Zaemon, really cannot bear it, he can order the palace gate to be opened.
At this moment, Yao Pingzhong, who was lurking just a stone's throw away from the palace gate, saw the Japanese shouting and squeezing towards the palace gate.
Finally he showed a ferocious smile, gestured behind him, lit the torch, inserted it into the ground and lit it.
Yao Pingzhong, who had already taken the bow to his leg, lit the arrow of the rocket on the torch and began to bend the bow and set the arrow. The nine elite Western Army soldiers behind him also drew their bows together.
Standing at the palace gate, Fujiwara Nobu looked to the east at the ministers and family members who were desperately squeezing towards the palace gate. He could do nothing except shouting at everyone not to push.
Let those soldiers maintain order? Haha, a few big bosses came calling, and even I couldn't bear it, let alone those soldiers.
At that moment, Fujiwara Nobu raised his head in awareness.
I saw a few dots of firelight, like fireflies on a summer night, flying towards that direction.
Otherwise, when they were several feet away from the palace gate, they had already fallen into the east.
Fujiwara Nobu stared at the thing blankly, and a thought flashed through his mind: If my legs are too big to shoot a rocket, I will chop off their heads to scare the monkeys.
As soon as the thought flashed through my mind, I saw the ground suddenly begin to light up, and then fire began to appear from the ground.
Then, it rolled towards the palace gate slowly and quickly. From time to time, a ball of fire would explode on the ground, and then you could see the flames flying across the air and splashing down in the distance.
"Fire! Fire! Fire!" When the people standing on the outermost perimeter saw the flames sweeping towards that direction, Dong unconsciously pulled out the Japanese sword at his waist and waved it, while tearing and howling.
As if this could scare away the approaching fire.
Fujiwara Tadashi had already quickly entered the palace gate. After hearing the screams and wailing from behind, he unconsciously turned his head and looked towards the light behind him.
I felt that the whole crowd was moving like crazy. Ye Chang's huge force directly squeezed Fujiwara Tadashi and fell to the ground.
Then I felt like there were countless legs and feet stepping on my face, chest, abdomen...
