Xuan Tian Ming's words were like a calming pill for Feng Yu Heng, as her mood gradually calmed down. She then turned her gaze toward the group of refugees, and she no longer felt that it was very frightening. Everything depended on one's effort. No matter how difficult the situation was, they would face it together. This country, they had already agreed to help him guard it. With him here, the world would not fall into chaos. With her here, even if it was a plague, it would not spread!
Feng Yu Heng raised her head to look at Xuan Tianming. Her gaze was firm and she even curled her lips into a smile. She loudly said, "I'm not afraid!"
Xuan Tianming laughed loudly. Then he suddenly used his internal energy and shouted at the bottom of the city wall, "Everyone, listen to my orders!"
This shout pierced through the rain and shattered the thunder. It even suppressed the sound of the refugees banging against the city gate.
Everyone looked up. The soldiers stood solemnly and the refugees stopped banging against the gate. Those who were lying down sat up and those who were praying put down their hands. In that moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the city wall. Although they could not see clearly who was standing there, they knew that to be able to shout so boldly in this kind of storm, it was definitely not a normal person.
Under everyone's gaze, Xuan Tianming's voice sounded again. It was full of strength, but it made everyone's hearts tremble. This was because he said, "Surround the city gate. Take down all the people who are trying to break through the city gate!"
The soldiers had long been irritated by these refugees, but they were afraid that using force would make the people even angrier. Therefore, they endured it again and again. Now that Xuan Tian Ming had given the order, the soldiers no longer had any reservations. The martial prowess that they had been suppressing was immediately unleashed. In just a short while, all of the refugees that had caused a ruckus had been captured and surrounded.
Feng Yu Heng recognized that more than half of the soldiers outside the city were transferred from the capital's outskirts. Naturally, they were much stronger than the soldiers guarding the city gate.
When the refugees who did not rush up saw that the people in front of them had been restrained, they wanted to go up and help. Unfortunately, those who did not participate in the ramming of the city gate were mostly the old, weak, women, and children. They did not have any fighting strength. Some of them could not even stand up. They could only look up at the city wall. At the same time, they were all thinking the same question: Will they be killed?
Xuan Tianming faced the tens of thousands of eyes below without a trace of fear. He only reached out his hand and pointed at the people who were being restrained. He loudly said, "You all have seen it. Dashun's soldiers only need to move their fingers to easily subdue you. This city gate is used to defend against foreign enemies. This prince had thought that there would come a day when any country's enemy would crash into this city gate; however, I never thought that it would be Da Shun's citizens doing it themselves. "
. "His words made the people below very unhappy. They all began to shout. It was very chaotic, but occasionally, one or two words could be heard. Feng Yu Heng heard the refugees say: Why does the city gate of Dashun not allow the people of Dashun to enter? Our home is gone. Why can't the capital take us in? Which prince are you? Will you kill us?
She tilted her head to look at Xuan Tianming. His face was covered by a golden mask. All of his emotions were hidden underneath, but the color of the blooming purple lotus between his eyebrows was getting deeper and deeper. She knew that the deeper the color of the purple lotus, the greater the fluctuation of emotions in Xuan Tianming's heart. Their hands were tightly clasped. She could almost feel the reluctance in his heart. Those people below the city gate were his people!
"No one wants to kill you!" Finally, Xuan Tianming spoke again, "Listen up, I am the Ninth Prince of Dashun, Xuan Tianming. Today, I swear to all of you that his Majesty loves the citizens as if they were his own children. I, Xuan Tian Ming, am willing to work together with all of my brothers and sisters to resist this sudden natural disaster. I will face all of your sufferings with you. Although you can't enter the capital, I will take county princess Ji An and princess Wu Yang out of the city. I will set up tents for you, cook porridge for you, treat your injuries, and accompany you through this natural disaster. Don't worry, the destroyed homes will be rebuilt by the imperial court. After four days, when the rain stops, I will personally take you to rebuild your homes. Is that alright? "
The voice that was infused with internal energy was like a large bell, ringing into everyone's ears and hearts. Those people that had been on the brink of despair suddenly found a pillar of support. The hope that had been extinguished by the heavy rain also rose up once more.
Xuan Tianming said: "In a while, we will open the city gate in order to walk out. It is to save you. Whether you believe in I or choose to stubbornly charge into the city, it will all be up to you to choose. " After he finished speaking, he did not remain on the city wall any longer. Holding Feng Yu Heng in one hand and his younger sister Xuan Tian Ge in the other, Bai Fu Rong, Wang Chuan and Huang Quan followed behind him. There was also the ghost doctor Song Kang that had been living in the Imperial Palace Yu.
Some soldiers opened the city gate. In that instant, everyone was filled with fear. Even Xuan Tianming did not dare guarantee that the refugees outside would not charge in. Xuan Tian Ge was even trembling slightly. She stared intently outside the gate, fearing that there would be any movement.
However, the refugees were still kind-hearted and reasonable. They also knew that even if they charged into the city, it would be pointless. Could it be that they would have to go and rob people? Go to people's homes to steal food? Then they would not be refugees. They would be rioters. Dashun could save refugees from disaster; however, he definitely would not show any mercy to rioters.
Everyone understood this and stood in place. Nobody moved until Xuan Tianming, Feng Yu Heng, and the others walked out. Only when all of the carriages and imperial carriages carrying supplies stopped outside the city did the city gate slowly close. With a boom, the Ninth Prince, county princess Ji 'an and imperial daughter Wu Yang were all isolated outside the city.
Feng Yu Heng stood next to Xuan Tianming and suddenly laughed. She also felt that Xuan Tianming was using his inner strength and saying loudly: "Now, we are together!"
Unfortunately, her inner strength was not as good as Xuan Tianming's. Her words were only transmitted halfway and the people far away could not hear what she was saying.
Xuan Tianming simply became the mouthpiece: "County princess Ji 'an said, now, we are all together!"
Suddenly, the crowd erupted in cheers! The people did not know why they were cheering. Right now, they did not see any food and did not lie down in a rain tent. They just saw the Ninth Prince and county princess Ji 'an standing here and felt strangely at ease. They all knelt down and kowtowed continuously. All of them muttered that the Heavens had eyes.
A woman suddenly asked: "County princess Ji 'an, are you that divine doctor in the capital? Can you please save my child? His body is very hot and he's about to die! "
As soon as these words were spoken, countless people immediately followed suit. There were too many sick and injured people!
Xuan Tianming hurriedly told the people: "Everyone, don't worry. We will continue to set up rain tents and ensure that everyone can live in them. County princess Ji An has brought out enough medicine, and imperial daughter Wu Yang has brought out enough food. We will set up a temporary clinic and congee shop at the entrance of the city. Everyone will be provided with three bowls of congee each day. Patients and children will also be provided with an extra portion. Everyone, don't panic. There will be soldiers who will bring everyone to receive the food in an orderly manner. The Imperial Astronomer has already observed the weather and in four days, the rain will stop. As long as the rain stops, all of the suffering will be over! "
Xuan Tianming was the backbone of these refugees. They would listen to whatever he said. The soldiers had already begun to set up the tents. The rain tents were very large, and nearly 100 people could fit inside each tent. After a tent was set up, there were soldiers who arranged for a sufficient number of people to stand inside. Every woman that entered the tent would be given a raincoat that Feng Yu Heng had brought. At the same time, they were told that dry clothes were already being prepared. They would be sent out of the city by tomorrow at the latest.
Xuan Tianming set up three large tents at the city gate. One was for the kitchen. Xuan Tian Ge and Bai Fu Rong were responsible for preparing the food. Another was for medical treatment. Its main purpose was to store the medicine that Feng Yu Heng had brought and to treat patients during the day. There was also one for rest. In the face of a natural disaster, there was not much to pay attention to. The tents and beds were all set up in one large tent. The group simply decided to sleep with their clothes on at night. No one would dislike the other.
Things were most frightening when seen with the eyes. The more one looked, the more tired it would be. The more one looked, the more difficult it would be to accomplish. That was why things had to be done with their hands. The eyes were lazy, but the hands were good. The work that looked complicated was done with the combined efforts of 5,000 soldiers and a few hundred soldiers. In just a short while, all of the rain tents had been set up. Feng Yu Heng had also provided a large number of raincoats that could be taken apart. The soldiers placed another layer on top of the rain tents to ensure that the rain would not leak out.
The refugees all hid in the rain tents. Those that were injured or sick were carried by the soldiers to Feng Yu Heng's medical treatment tent. The soldiers saw that the raincoats that the girls were wearing were very practical, thus they asked Feng Yu Heng if there were any more. Feng Yu Heng helplessly told them: "They're all models for girls. Unless there's someone that's small among the men, they really won't be able to fit."
She felt helpless. If she knew that there would be a day when she transmigrated, she would have definitely enriched the things in her space. It would not have been to the point where she did not even have a single raincoat that men could wear.
Xuan Tian Ge set up ten large pots to cook congee. Wang Chuan and Huang Quan were both sent over to help. Xuan Tian Ming had already personally led the soldiers into the rain to set up the tents. He also needed to walk around the tents one by one to comfort the people in each tent.
At present, the only helper left at Feng Yu Heng's side was that Ghost Doctor Song Kang. One by one, the injured were brought into the tent. Feng Yu Heng had already prepared a stethoscope, infusion equipment, various types of Western medicine and syringes from a large suitcase and placed them on a bed. She told Song Kang: "I did not leave you alive for nothing. Didn't you want to learn medicine from me? Do you see, for these refugees, I will teach you the most basic treatment methods. I will also tell you the symptoms of these medicines. I will also let you learn how to administer intramuscular injections and infusions. When you have learned these things, carry the medicine box and go out to save people. No matter how many people you have killed in the past, you will save as many people as ten times that amount. I will send someone to count them for you. When you have saved enough people, I, Feng Yu Heng, will accept you as my disciple! "
