Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were already used to Feng Yu Heng's occasional abnormal behavior. On the contrary, they hoped that their mistress was someone with "special abilities" because only then could they feel more at ease and allow their mistress to move alone from time to time. If it was a normal person, just based on His Ninth Highness's love for her, they probably wouldn't feel at ease even if they protected her closely for a moment.
Now that Feng Yu Heng had entered Bin City, the two servant girls didn't return to Fuzhou. Instead, they stayed where they were and sat in the carriage, waiting to receive them at any time. The situation in Bin City always made them feel faintly uneasy. They couldn't guess what had happened inside. What was going on with the rumors that His Highness the Seventh Prince had injured His Ninth Highness?
Such a large Bin City could stop Xuan Tianming, but it couldn't stop Feng Yu Heng. She had the portable space in her hands. There was no place in this world that she couldn't move. However, after entering the city, it took a lot of effort to find Xuan Tianhua. She originally thought that he would be living in the Zhizhou manor, but there was no sign of him there. She continued to search and found that he had set up a commander's tent in the city, right in the middle of the soldiers' tents.
Feng Yu Heng followed the sound because Xuan Tianhua was playing the guqin. The sound of the guqin seemed to have a magical power that could calm the minds of those who heard it. Even those who were tired after a day of hard work would fall asleep peacefully listening to the sound of the guqin. She was familiar with the sound of the guqin because she had heard it before in Chun Palace. At that time, Consort Yun had moved to Chun Palace because Emperor Tianwu had been bewitched. There were always nights when she couldn't sleep peacefully. Xuan Tianhua would play the guqin in Consort Yun's courtyard all night long. She was lucky enough to have heard it once or twice.
Amidst the sound of the zither, the soldiers in the tents all fell into a deep sleep. Only a few people were carefully patrolling, but they still had to remind each other from time to time that they absolutely could not fall asleep.
Feng Yu Heng saw that Qian Li and He Gan were standing guard outside the commander's tent. The two of them didn't say anything and just stood quietly at the door. Each of them held a cup of warm tea in their hands and silently drank. She recognized it. That tea was something that she had given him. There was the warm tea that was essential during the Winter, as well as flower tea that calmed the nerves. There was also the fragrant Long Jing and the refreshing Bi Luo Chun. She would prepare this for Xuan Tian Ming's soldiers throughout the year. This included the commonly used medicine to stop bleeding and anti-inflammatory medicine. It could be said that Xuan Tianming's soldiers were treated the best in the world.
Standing far away and watching the two for a while, Feng Yu Heng once again disappeared into her space. When she came out again, she had already entered Xuan Tianhua's commander's tent. Without a sound, there was another person in the tent. She stood silently, seven steps away from him. She looked at the white-clothed silhouette in front of her. The sleeves of his clothes fluttered, and his ink-black hair spilled over his shoulders. Occasionally, it would wrap around his fingertips, but it could never wrap around those ten fingers that moved with the strings of the zither. Not a single strand of music was out of place.
It was this kind of person that made all the women in the world fall head over heels for him. It made all the men in the world pale in comparison to him. He also gave the world infinite beauty. At the same time, it made everyone who faced him feel an urge to look up to him in a humble manner.
This was Xuan Tianhua's charm. It was different from Xuan Tianming's overbearing arrogance, and it was also different from Xuan Tianfeng's fair face and modest scholar. He was an immortal-like existence. He was so immortal that people always wanted to touch him in worship, but they were also afraid that if they reached out their hand, this person would immediately disappear before their eyes.
She still remembered the first time she heard Xuan Tianhua play the zither. That was many years ago. She was attacked when she left the city and was eventually rescued by him. He brought her back to Winter Moon Palace. When she woke up and went out, she heard this kind of calming and attentive music. Consort Yun had once found a good reason for her to enter the palace to learn the zither from His Highness the Seventh Prince. Unfortunately, so many years had passed, but she had never truly learned the zither from him. Even now, she was still unable to control this kind of zither. The only time she wanted to strum the strings, but because she didn't control the strength properly, the strings broke.
Feng Yu Heng stood there, her thoughts running wild. She didn't know if it was because of her state of mind, or because of the zither's music, she unknowingly entered her memories. In short, it was as if in an instant, she recalled all of her interactions with this person in front of her.
Feng Yu Heng thought that in this life, other than Xuan Tianming being the first person she fell in love with, Xuan Tianhua was the only person she felt the most guilty about, right? It couldn't be said that she owed him, but when she faced this person, she would always feel an indescribable sadness. She was destined to let down a person, and that was the cruelest thing she had done in this life.
She didn't know when, but the zither's music stopped, and all of her thoughts returned to their original place in an instant. Feng Yu Heng's mind was suddenly shaken, and she recalled that she was in Xuan Tianhua's commander's tent. That was to say, the memories she couldn't help but recall were actually caused by the zither's music? Xuan Tianhua's zither actually had this kind of magical power … …
"Come and sit, I know you're here." Xuan Tianhua turned around, facing Feng Yu Heng, and waved at her. "Come, the tea I brewed earlier is still warm, it's just right for you to drink." As he spoke, he personally poured a cup of tea for her.
Feng Yu Heng was a little embarrassed. She stepped forward, but didn't sit down. She only asked, "When did Seventh Brother discover me?"
He sighed softly. "When you just came in."
"Uh … … how, how did you discover me?"
"I heard it." He pointed at his own ears. "Although there is the sound of the zither, I have specially practiced before. The more I immerse myself in the sound of the zither, the better my ability to listen. So when you appeared, I knew." After saying this, he smiled bitterly to himself. "Have a seat! I knew you would come. I can stop Ming in this Bin City, but I can't stop you. You will find a way to come in. Just like many things, Ming and I can't do, but you can. " As he spoke, he looked at Feng Yu Heng, who had already sat down in front of him. He said, "Just like that year in Feng Tong County, I searched the entire ruins of the fire, but there was no trace of you. But when I turned around, you called out to me from behind. On your body, face, and hair, there was no sign of you surviving from the ruins. From then on, I knew that you must have some skills that I don't know. And this skill, if you don't tell me, I won't ask. Drink! This tea was given by you, it's called Biluochun. I drink it very well. "
Feng Yu Heng took a sip and couldn't help but praise. "When this tea was in my hands, I only know how to casually brew it with water. It's good to drink, but it doesn't taste as good as when it was cooked by Seventh Brother." The atmosphere was a bit awkward. It was as if this topic was deliberately brought up, and it was said a bit stiffly. She wasn't a shy person. This kind of atmosphere made her very uncomfortable, and she didn't want to continue. So, she simply waved her hand and drank all the tea in the cup. Then, she opened her mouth and directly asked the purpose of her visit. "I heard that Seventh Brother injured Xuan Tianming to stop him from entering the city. Why? "
Xuan Tianhua was silent for a while. When he spoke again, he asked, "Do you want to ask me why I stopped him from entering the city, or are you here to blame me for injuring Ming?"
She quickly waved her hand and explained, "No, no, I definitely don't have any intention of blaming Seventh Brother. Not to mention that I don't believe that Seventh Brother would injure Ming. Even if he really did, there must be a reason. If an older brother hits a younger brother, it must be because the younger brother is disobedient. I just want to ask … younger brother … how did he become disobedient? "
Xuan Tianhua could not help but laugh, "There is no need to be so careful. I did injure Ming, using seventy percent of my internal energy, hitting below his left shoulder. As for the purpose, it was to chase him away, to not let him enter the city, to not let him participate in this battle between Dashun and Zong Sui. "
"Why?"
He shook his head, "There is no why. Ming fought so many battles for Dashun, it should be Seventh Brother's turn to return. Heng Heng, you should all go back! No matter if you return to the capital or go anywhere else, it is fine. As long as you can live well and be free, it is better than anything else. Leave the dangerous matters to Seventh Brother. From today onwards, Seventh Brother will protect this country for you. "
"But Seventh Brother also said that he wanted to go to Benevolence Immortal Island, didn't he?" She still remembered what Xuan Tianhua had said before, "He even said that he wanted to bring Imperial Concubine Mother along. But if you want to protect Dashun, it is very possible … that you will not be able to leave in this lifetime. " She looked at Xuan Tianhua, asking a question that she was puzzled about: "What danger will there be in fighting Zong Sui? Seventh Brother has also seen our heavenly lightning and firearms. Could it be that you think that under such armed forces, Dashun will still lose? Will something happen to the main general? " She could not understand no matter what. "Impossible, no matter how capable that Zong Sui is, it is impossible."
She said this, but as she spoke, she lost her confidence. Before this, hadn't she always been worried about this battle? That unspeakable worry that did not have a reason. Even with such a great disparity in military strength and equipment, she was still worried. This question was not just directed to Xuan Tianhua, Feng Yu Heng was also asking herself. What exactly would happen?
"The victory or defeat of any battle is not absolute." This was Xuan Tianhua's answer, "Even if the disparity is great, there is no guarantee that no accidents will happen." His answer was ambiguous, Feng Yu Heng knew that there was definitely something that Xuan Tianhua did not say, but she also knew that if he did not want to say it, she would not be able to get it out of him no matter how she asked.
"Forget it." She waved her hand, "Seventh Brother has Seventh Brother's principles, Xuan Tianming also has Xuan Tianming's principles. You do not want Younger Brother to put himself in danger, Younger Brother also does not want to watch Older Brother sacrifice his life for him. Since we are not allowed to enter Bin City and not allowed to interfere with the right to command this army of five hundred thousand, then we will use our own methods to contribute to this battle. Right now, Xuan Tianming is in Jianzhou, I will go there to meet up with him. Seventh Brother, if you die, we will also not be able to live well, we are all one. "She stood up and reached into her sleeve, taking out a handgun from her space along with a few magazines of bullets. "This is left for Seventh Brother to protect himself, the bullets are loaded like this." As she spoke, she demonstrated how to load the bullets and explained how to fire the gun, then she placed the gun on the table in front of Xuan Tianhua. "I once said to Xuan Tianming, life is the most important, there are many people in Zong Sui, but if those people who you see as innocent citizens threaten your life, then put away your kindness and care for the world, preserving your life is the most important thing. Xuan Tianming is like this, Seventh Brother is also like this. We — — will see you in Jianzhou. "
