Just as Si Chen and the Right Martial Marquis were controlling the Water Dragon Carriage to put out the fire, Hong Cheng excitedly reported the good news to Li Shimin in the Dew Hall of Taiji Palace.
"Your Majesty, the giant wooden carriage driven by the Right Martial Marquis, Si Chen, can actually spew out water pillars that are as thick as a bowl and four to five feet long. Moreover, it has been spewing water for fifteen minutes! At present, the fire in Yunliang Pavilion had been effectively contained.”
"What?"
Li Shi Min quickly stepped forward and asked in surprise,""Are you sure? That huge wooden carriage could actually spray water up to five zhang away and could even spray water continuously for fifteen minutes?”
"Yes!" Hong Cheng nodded. The waterwheel was operated by twenty marquises using a special device to draw water and spray it out through bamboo pipes. In addition, the soldiers of the Wei Manor and the people who were supporting the nearby workshops were continuously drawing water from the river and filling it into the waterwheel, so the water source was inexhaustible.”
"I see." Li Shi Min roughly understood and nodded. He looked at Empress Zhangsun who was also surprised and smiled," It seems that Si Chen found something extraordinary. There is no need for my Imperial Army to enter the city and demolish the houses.”
" Your Majesty, do you think that he found this fire extinguishing weapon by chance, or that it was originally his idea and made by the craftsmen of Xi City?" Empress Zhangsun said with a faint smile.”
"Empress, you mean that this waterwheel is also Si Chen's strange idea?”Li Shi Min did not believe it." That's impossible, right? The Fork of Grains and the Flying Rock Rope were both traceable objects, and their structures were simple. The waterwheel obviously has a complicated mechanical structure. In my opinion, it's impossible to build it unless it's a descendant of Gongshu Ban!”
"Then when the fire in Pingkang Lane is extinguished, His Majesty will summon him to ask.”Empress Zhangsun suggested with a smile.
Li Shiming thought for a while and shook his head." I don't want to meet that kid for the time being. After this, I'll send him to Xi City." I hope he doesn't disappoint me, otherwise, I'll still remember those thirty sticks!”
……
At the Duke's Mansion.
When Zhang Liang received the latest information from his personal guards, his face was filled with disbelief.
"You can actually put out such a big fire? Could it be that a divine dragon had really descended to help him extinguish the fire?”
Where did Si Chen come from?
It was unbelievable that a mere ninth-grade right martial arts guard had such a powerful fire-extinguishing tool.
Thinking back to the Wannian County Yamen, the sudden appearance of Thousand Bull Guard Lieutenant Hong Cheng, he thought that His Majesty had sent Hong Cheng to beat him up. Now that he thought about it, His Majesty was protecting Si Chen.
She really shouldn't have provoked Si Chen!
Even if they were to deal with this person, they shouldn't be so stupid as to burn down Pingkang Lane. Assassination, framing, suppression…any method would be better than this! Unfortunately, Madam had already done it, and he did not stop her after he found out.
Fortunately, those four personal guards were loyal to him. They must have died in the falling fire and could not testify!
……
Pingkang Lane.
After nearly two hours of continuous spraying of water, the fire in Yunliang Pavilion had already been extinguished.
However, the entire Yunliang Pavilion and its auxiliary buildings were completely burned down. The scene was charred black and gray smoke rose.
Si Chen was worried, so he asked the marquises and some of the volunteers to get water to extinguish the ashes.
After that, it was time to count the casualties.
Si Chen did not need to participate in this part of the work. The Right Martial Marquis commandeered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion next to the fire and let Cui Qi, Si Chen, and the other military officers, as well as the dozens of Martial Marquises who were desperately trying to suppress the water in the fire, enter the pavilion to take a shower, change clothes, and rest.
Although Si Chen had the title of "Innate Divine Strength", he was still a little tired after carrying the Water Dragon Cannon for two hours.
He was the captain, so he occupied a room by himself and had someone to serve him.
Just as he was lying in the bathtub and enjoying the back scrub, the system's voice sounded.
"Ding! Detected that the host has successfully resolved a special public security incident. Reward: [Ten Shot in a Chain (Master Level), Body Movement 2] Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun."
[10 Successive Shot (Master): You can shoot 10 arrows in a row in a short period of time. The arrows are like a string of pearls!]
[Movement Technique 2. Your speed and agility have been greatly increased!]
[Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun: Congratulations to the host for obtaining your first personal army!] Personal soldiers exist in the dimensional world. The host can summon them at any time.
Si Chen sat up straight, giving the woman who was scrubbing his back a fright.
The beautiful and delicate woman thought that she had hurt the captain and was so frightened that she apologized repeatedly,"Sir, I'm sorry. I…I didn't mean it.”
Si Chen waved his hand and said indifferently,"It's none of your business." I need to be alone for a while. You can go out first.”
The woman hurriedly thanked him and left with her head lowered.
"Is there really the Eighteen Horsemen of Yanyun in history?”
Si Chen was surprised and happy.
The Eighteen Cavalry of Yanyun was said to be a cavalry unit led by Luo Yi, a famous general of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was made up of a total of eighteen people and was Luo Yi's ace killer.
It was said that these eighteen riders were all mighty and majestic, with superb martial arts and skilled horse skills. He also had a scimitar on his waist, a bow on his back, a mask on his face, a black scarf on his head, and a long black cloak on his body.
Even the boots they were wearing had a Refined Iron Dagger.
In his previous life, it would be a fully armed special forces!
In the " Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties " that he had read in his previous life, it described the 18 riders of Yanyun as a terrifying killer troop. Every time the 18 riders appeared, they would bring about a tragic massacre to the barbarians.
"No, I must find an opportunity to summon such a powerful bodyguard!”
If it wasn't for the fact that the room wasn't hidden enough, Si Chen would have summoned the Eighteen Knights of Yanyun right now. With this group of soldiers, his personal safety in the Great Tang was guaranteed.
