Even emperors have it tough, so don't be too picky about the entries.

......

At General Xuanji's command, everyone on the lantern cart immediately sprang into action, each grabbing their weapons.

He then took out several more yellow talismans.

Stick it on the light vehicle.

With a loud bang, the fire instantly burst into flames.

Lighting vehicles are inherently flammable, and the fire spread instantly.

The onlookers were so frightened that they scattered and fled.

Fortunately, this place was closest to the emperor, and there were only a few larger lantern carriages.

Not many people can get close to this place.

Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army's ambitions did not lie with the common people, and they did not indiscriminately kill innocent people.

They escaped fairly quickly.

"Come on stage!"

General Xuanji took a step forward, but was suddenly pulled back by a strong force.

The force was so great that he had never seen anything like it before, and he couldn't struggle at all.

Looking back, I saw Helian Xiong scratching his head:

"Old Taoist priest, how did you do that? How did you start the fire?"

"none of your business!"

"Just curious..."

Unable to break free, General Xuanji angrily said:

"Are you fucking curious? That's white phosphorus, you know what white phosphorus is!"

"Oh, I see."

Helian Xiong released him, and as Xuanjizi rushed forward, several of his personal guards followed.

"General, we..."

After sobering up, Helian Xiong's intelligence seemed to have returned to normal.

He waved his hand to interrupt.

"These look like the Yellow Turban Army. We'll just watch the show here and follow them later. Tonight, I'm going to find out what they're made of."

Hiding deep in the mountains all the time, that's true leisure.

Killing some Yellow Turban soldiers can be considered a military achievement.

...

Suddenly a fire broke out, causing chaos below, and the officials on the high platform were also thrown into panic.

They all bumped around like headless flies.

The four Sages of Merlin were also flustered and were about to get up.

But then Chen Shao slammed his hand on the table.

"What's the panic! I'm not panicking, so why are you all panicking!"

That shout was full of energy.

The chaotic scene caused many officials to stop in their tracks.

"Your Majesty, if we don't evacuate soon, the fire will only get bigger..."

There are entrances on both sides of the platform.

However, the entrance is too narrow and consists entirely of steps.

There was simply no way to accommodate so many people escaping at once.

Chen Shao angrily said:

"So easily alarmed by such a trivial matter, what a bunch of useless fools!"

"Those of lower rank go first, according to their official position!"

"Those with high official ranks should live up to their titles!"

Some people wanted to refute this.

Chen Shao then said:

"Don't worry, I'll be the last to leave."

"Commander Bai, Wu Song, take men to guard the steps and protect the lords. Anyone who tries to take advantage of the chaos and escape will be executed."

Everyone on the stage tensed up, and no one dared to move.

The two men clasped their hands in greeting and began organizing the evacuation.

soon...

The number of people on the high platform dwindled, the fire grew larger, and the Yellow Turban army drew ever closer.

Han Cao panicked when he saw Chen Shao still sitting calmly, observing the situation with his hands behind his back.

He urged, forcing himself to speak:

"Your Majesty, it will be too late if we don't leave now. What will happen to the Great Yan Empire if something happens to you? This old minister is old and his death is not a pity, but Your Majesty..."

Yuwen Gu immediately chimed in:

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Chen Shao turned around and flew into a rage.

Pointing at the four trembling Merlin.

"Are you two blind? These four gentlemen are of such high status that they are not afraid of you, so how can I possibly leave first!"

Gu Tingzhi grinned.

"Your Majesty, a wise man...a wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall...how about we..."

"The old man is right. We should set an example and show the officials and the people the benevolence of the court!"

"..."

Although the group had complaints, they dared not say anything more.

After all, even the emperor doesn't value his life.

Of course, still holding onto hope, Chen Shao wouldn't allow himself to be put in such a deadly situation; he must have a way to escape.

A few more moments passed...

You can even see the Yellow Turban Army's swords.

On the high platform, only Chen Shao, Han Cao, Yuwen Huagu, and the Four Sages of Meilin remained.

Chen Shao suddenly turned his head and asked in surprise:

"Why...why haven't you left yet?"

At this time, one entrance was covered by fire, and the other entrance was blocked by the Yellow Turban Army.

What's the point of even continuing? (A wry smile)

"Where is His Majesty?"

"I?"

I possess magic! I have the ability to "shed my skin in fire"!

Chen Shao gave a wry smile:

"Seeing that everyone has fled, I am relieved."

"Now we can only take a gamble and leave the rest to fate."

"Gentlemen, let's all run for our lives."

After Chen Shao finished speaking, he laughed loudly.

"Practice until your body resembles that of a crane."

Then, with a leap, he jumped into the exit, which was already engulfed in flames, amidst the horrified gazes of the other six people.

They were all taken aback.

Is this really okay?

Am I doomed?

But there was no time to consider Chen Shao.

The Yellow Turban soldiers had their knives at their necks.

"Kill them all, but capture the emperor!"

General Xuanji took the lead, his long sword already held against Gu Tingzhi's face.

The four sages of Merlin burst into tears instantly.

"Stop! We are the Four Sages of Merlin!"

General Xuanji paused, and stopped wielding his sword.

The four of them were overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

But fearing the other party might change their mind, he quickly added:

"He was the former Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince, an expert personally appointed by the Emperor Emeritus..."

"I don't know him."

General Xuanji was furious: "Damn it, I thought it was some kind of Taoist name, but I've run into a fellow practitioner."

Then, without hesitation, he slashed down with his sword.

The four sages of Merlin were decapitated shortly after leaving the mountain.

Seeing this, Yuwen Huagu knew that he would surely die if he waited any longer, so he gritted his teeth.

He scooped Han Cao up in his arms and jumped down from the fireless spot directly in front of him without hesitation.

Five or six stories high; normally, with his 120 level of martial arts, he would be badly injured, if not killed.

But this time, as if divinely aided, both he and Han Cao were unharmed.

"This is truly a stroke of luck!"

Yuwen Huagu laughed heartily.

At that moment, a weak cry came from beneath him:

"Father, you're going to stomp me to death..."

Yuwen Gu was shocked. He looked down and saw that right under his feet was Yuwen Chendu, the prodigy of the Yuwen family.

"You...how could you..."

"Your son has come to the rescue..."

It turned out to be the case.

Yuwen Huagu looked towards the high platform and saw that the government troops had arrived and were fighting with the Yellow Turban Army.

Only then did I feel relieved.

Suddenly, he threw Han Cao aside and roared fiercely:

"My son!!!"

......

Chen Shao rushed out of the sea of ​​fire, his robes still smoldering with sparks.

Shen Qingci stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

"You truly are a saintly emperor... immune to all evil spirits..."

"nonsense."

After brushing the sparks off his body, Chen Shao looked at the Yellow Turban Army being chased by the army.

He beckoned to Shen Qingci.

"Is there anything yellow?"

"What are you going to do?"

"Let's take this opportunity to go inside the Yellow Turban Army."

"What! That's too dangerous!"

"What's so dangerous? The emperor knows magic; no one can stop him."

Chen Shao took a step closer and grabbed Shen Qingci's collar.

I looked down.

"Wow, there actually is someone wearing a yellow bellyband!"

Before Shen Qingci could react, he pulled it out.

He tore off a strip of cloth, turned around, and chased after the Yellow Turban army in the direction they were fleeing.

At the same time, he shouted:

"Tell Yu Qi'an to prepare 20,000 troops to meet him outside the city!"

Shen Qingci stood frozen in place, clutching her chest.

His face was flushed.

After a long while, he stomped his foot and gritted his teeth.

"What's wrong with yellow, you're crazy!"

"You scoundrel, I'll settle the score with you later!"

"Lord Yu..."
