Tian Ping's daughter, Tian Xi, had contracted a strange illness five months ago. At that time, she had just been engaged. Her husband was the son of the richest man in Tong City. He was upright and dignified, and there were no mistresses or concubines in the house. The son of the richest man marrying the daughter of the prefectural magistrate was originally a wonderful thing, and Tian Ping was quite satisfied with this marriage.
The marriage was basically set, and the engagement notes were exchanged. However, one day, for some reason, Tian Xi suddenly had an unbearable abdominal pain. The prefectural magistrate's residence invited a doctor, but he could not find anything wrong. He only thought that she had caught a cold, and prescribed a few decoctions to drink. After a few days of rest, she would be fine.
Tian Xi did as she was told, and her illness really did recover. However, in less than five days, she suffered another relapse. After this, she would have pain almost every three to five days. Not only did she suffer from pain, but after more than a month, her stomach gradually changed, and for no reason, it became bigger.
The Tian family was shocked, and thought that their daughter had done something unfaithful. However, under pressure, Tian Xi swore that she had not done anything that would bring shame to the family. Only then did Tian Ping become anxious. All the doctors in Tong City had seen her, but no one could tell what illness Miss Tian had. Of course, although her stomach was big, they could not find a pregnancy pulse.
However, this was how people were. Although the doctors said that they could not find a pregnancy pulse, and that her stomach was big because there was something growing in her stomach, no one could tell what it was. Therefore, people spread the news, and in the end, the topic was still focused on Miss Tian's pregnancy. There were even people who said, "There's something in her stomach? Isn't that a child? What else can it be? Just wait and see! Miss Tian's stomach must be getting bigger and bigger. Who would dare to marry such a woman? "
Unfortunately, Tian Xi's stomach really grew bigger and bigger as people said. Thus, the richest family broke off the engagement. The young master said to Tian Ping, "Although I believe in Miss Tian's chastity, gossip is a fearful thing. Our family can't bear it." Just like that, not only did Miss Tian suffer from a strange illness, she also became a person whose engagement was broken off. Her fate was miserable.
Tian Ping doted on this daughter very much. It was because of his daughter's illness that caused him to feel dispirited. Not only did he have to endure being criticized behind his back, but he also had to endure Duan Mu An Guo's anger. This caused him to feel even more disgust towards this battle that had been instigated by Duan Mu An Guo.
In an inn in the city, the waiter was carrying a large teapot and explaining to the guests in the room, "Sir, don't worry! Although the water came from the well in the backyard, there was no problem with it. You've been staying in our store for so long, and you've been drinking this water all the time! What did you see? Don't worry! This morning, General Duanmu's personal guards came over to try it. They even dared to drink it themselves, so it's definitely fine. "
"Did someone really taste it this morning?" The guest did not believe the waiter's words and turned to ask his own attendant: "Yun Xiao, did you see them come over to test the water?"
The guest was Feng Zhaolian. He had rushed into Tong City before the city was sealed, and upon entering, he heard about the matter of not being able to drink water. This caused him to be on tenterhooks for the past few days, fearing that he would become one of those monsters that built the city because of drinking water. Saying the same thing, he would dawdle with the waiter every day until the waiter guaranteed that there was no problem with the water source. Only then did he dare to take a few sips.
Yun Xiao heard his question and replied: "There were indeed people who came over to test the water. It's fine to drink it."
"Oh." Feng Zhaolian nodded, "Alright then! Since you said that it's fine, then I'll believe you. Waiter, pour the tea! I'm really thirsty. "
"Alright!" The waiter quickly filled the teapot and said while pouring the water: "Sir, you can't be blamed for being cautious. Recently, the people staying in the store have all been like you, asking about it a few times every day. Because the city was sealed, the people who stayed in the store were unable to leave. They were all like you and have been stuck in Tong City for many days. I don't know when these days will end. You said that Dashun came in from the west gate, so why did he seal the east gate as well? He really has nothing better to do. "
The people of Tong City had some complaints about Duanmu Anguo. Feng Zhaolian could hear people scolding that old thief Duanmu in groups of three to five every day. He would also scold them sometimes, but most of the time, he would just sleep in the guest room. It was as though he had come for a vacation and did not care about what was happening outside at all.
After the waiter finished pouring the water, the little girl Yun Duo took the silver pieces that Feng Zhaolian gave her and went out to buy some snacks for him. Yun Xiao stood at the window and watched for a while until Yun Duo's small figure turned into another alley. Only then did he close the window once more. "Master, why don't you allow this subordinate to investigate where exactly that Duanmu Anguo is hiding? It is said that he is in the prefect's manor, but there is no sign of him inside or outside the prefect's manor. It is possible that it is just a cover, and he might be hiding in some other place. "Yun Xiao laughed coldly, saying again:" Speaking of which, that old thief Duanmu is also old! Thinking back to when he was in the North, he did not live so sullenly. Such an arrogant person is hiding all day because he is afraid of being schemed against, it really is funny. "
Feng Zhaolian crossed his legs and said while eating melon seeds: "This is Zong Sui, it is not the North from back then. But that little Emperor of Zong Sui is about the same as the Emperor of Qian Zhou back then, he is very willing to get close to that old thief and is also willing to listen to what that old thief says. But we are not in a rush, you do not need to waste time looking for him. What did that girl Yun Duo say? Building a city is too dangerous, we cannot go. If we must go to Zong Sui, let's go to the city in front! It sounds very reasonable, but we came to Tong City because we listened to her suggestion. So, there is no rush, with Yun Duo around, we will meet that old thief Duanmu sooner or later. "
Yun Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "How did Master know that Yun Duo is definitely related to that Duanmu Anguo?" As he spoke, he looked outside the window again. Yun Duo had not returned from buying things, he had been observing that girl these few days, but he did not see anything wrong with her. He thought that he was being too sensitive at the start, but when he let down his guard, Feng Zhaolian insisted that there was something wrong with Yun Duo, this made Yun Xiao really curious.
Feng Zhaolian heard him ask this, and his eyes curved into crescents from smiling, narrowing into a line. He told Yun Xiao: "Intuition! My intuition! I have hated that old thief Duanmu my entire life, and even in my dreams, I want to tear his face apart. So, I can smell that old thief Duanmu's scent. Did you notice that pair of eyes of Yun Duo's? They are exactly the same as that old thief Duanmu's. "
Yun Xiao rubbed his nose, was that so? Alright! Now that he said it like this, it really did seem a little similar.
"Say …" Feng Zhaolian began to ponder on his own again, "I wonder how our Hua Hua is doing, I heard that he used his voice to subdue his enemies, thinking about it, he is quite handsome. We left in too much of a hurry that day! We should have left a little later, listened to him play the zither, and watched him fight. Who knows, with a thought from your Master, I, might not take revenge, and go live a carefree and happy life with our Hua Hua! "
The corner of Yun Xiao's mouth twitched, "Then it's better for you to think about revenge." However, he could not continue speaking after that. The Seventh Prince used his voice to subdue his enemies, and he heard that in the end, that demonic zither was completely covered in his blood. There was blood from when his fingers slid across the zither strings, blood from when he bit the tip of his tongue to gather his inner strength, and blood from when he could not take it anymore after playing until the end, and blood spurted out from his mouth … No one knew what happened to Dashun's Seventh Prince, because he had disappeared, and no one knew where he went. Duanmu Anguo's people were searching for him, and Dashun's people were also searching for him, but until now, they had not found him.
Yun Xiao did not want to say these words to Feng Zhaolian, but Feng Zhaolian was not an idiot. He looked at Yun Xiao, wanting to say something, but hesitated, and laughed bitterly. "Don't hide it from me, in that kind of situation, it bodes ill for him. But it's fine, I won't live for long either, we will meet again sooner or later. "
"Do you want to die that much?" Yun Xiao gritted his teeth in anger.
However, Feng Zhaolian shook his head and said: "I don't, I want to live, but if I have to let go of my hatred and live, then I might as well die. Yun Xiao, my hatred, my Imperial Father and Imperial Concubine Mother's hatred, as well as the hatred of everyone in the palace, must be avenged. "
Tong City was sealed, and the citizens were filled with complaints. Every day, there would be people who would go to the four main city gates to try their luck. Actually, they did not really have to leave the city because of something, they just felt that with the four city gates closed, there was a feeling of being locked in a cage, and no matter how they thought about it, it was uncomfortable.
On this day, suddenly, a loud "bang" came from outside the western city gates. Almost half of the people in the city heard it, and people ran out of their houses in fear, standing on the streets and looking in the direction of the sound, but after that loud sound, peace was restored.
Someone said: "It's Dashun's heavenly lightning, right? Didn't we also hear the sound when the city was being built? It's about the same as that sound. Could it be that Dashun has already attacked Tong City? "
"Then what should we do? Should we run? "
"Where should we run to! The city gates are all closed, even if we want to run, we can't run out! Tell me, is that Duanmu Anguo helping Zong Sui or harming Zong Sui? Isn't this helping Dashun trap all of Zong Sui's people to death? "
Someone held a different view: "If Dashun attacked, it is impossible for it to end with just one sound, if we continue to watch, it might be that General Duanmu's people messing around with something again."
Everyone was right, this time, it was really Duanmu Anguo's people messing around. A personal attendant came in front of Duanmu Anguo and reported: "When the brothers were laying down the mines, they accidentally caused an explosion and two people died. But it is good that it did not cause other lightning explosions, it can be considered fortunate. "
Duanmu Anguo used his fist to hit the armrest of the chair, warning his subordinates: "You must be careful, there are not many of those things, there are only so many in total, and they were all brought to Tong City, we can't possibly destroy them in our own hands before they hit the enemy. If we cannot kill Xuan Tianming and that Feng Yu Heng in this battle, I'm afraid that we really won't have a chance in the future! "
After saying this, he waved his hand, ordering his subordinates to leave. He let out a long sigh, closing his eyes and leaning against the back of the chair.
Heavenly lightning? Feng Yu Heng, you didn't expect it right! That thing called lightning, you have it, I have it too!
