"Dad, where's the water?"

Wang Yan looked at the empty fish tank with a confused look on his face.

I had just poured water into the tank, and in just a moment when I turned around to get something else, the water disappeared.

The porcelain jar was intact and there was no sign of leakage. How could the water be gone?

Weird, so weird!

He rubbed his eyes hard, somewhat unable to believe it.

He fetched another basin of water and poured it in carefully.

Clean water entered the tank without any splash.

It was like a clay ox entering the sea, disappearing without a trace in an instant.

Wang Yan was shocked by this strange phenomenon and subconsciously took two steps back.

This porcelain tank was bought for raising fish. It is 70 cm high and about 70 cm in diameter.

The lines are smooth and the shape is simple and elegant.

The body of the jar is a light and elegant blue-gray color, without any decoration or pattern on it.

It looks very grand and ordinary.

How can an ordinary ceramic jar have such magical powers?

Could it be that this jar... has become a spirit!

This thought made Wang Yan shudder.

In order to find out what was going on, I bravely fetched more than ten basins of water.

I went back and forth again and again, and I was so tired that sweat broke out on my forehead.

But this porcelain jar is like a bottomless pit and can never be filled.

It's really a water tank, it can hold so much water.

Wang Yan saw that this was not a solution, so he dug out a water pipe.

Connect one end to the faucet and throw the other end into the tank.

I don't believe it. I can fill it up by just plugging in the pipe and letting in water.

…

Holy Dragon Dynasty, Mobei border, inside the general's mansion.

Sitting in the main seat, the heroic Tan Junyan had his armor covered with shocking knife marks.

It formed a sharp contrast with her beautiful and delicate face.

Her eyes were like stars, her eyebrows were like distant ink, and her red lips were cracked and chapped due to lack of water.

"Damn, we can't delay any longer. We will fight our way out of this encirclement and get you out of the city at the risk of our lives."

Veteran Han Chonglie knelt on one knee and spoke sincerely.

After the old emperor passed away, the young emperor succeeded to the throne, but he was incompetent and ignored the affairs of state.

He indulged in wine, sex, music and other pursuits all day long, turning a blind eye to the suffering of the people.

He also coveted Tan Junyan's beauty and wanted her to go back and be his imperial concubine.

If you dare not obey my orders, you will be cut off from water and food.

Tan Junyan inherited her father's ambition and only wanted to guard the country's borders. She had no intention of becoming an imperial concubine.

The young emperor was furious. He cut off the food supply at the critical moment when the barbarians invaded the border and the two sides were fighting fiercely.

Due to lack of water and food, the soldiers' physical strength was greatly reduced and they were surrounded by the 400,000-strong barbarian army.

The situation is precarious due to the delay in receiving supplies.

The defeat was inevitable, and the lives of the 100,000 Tan family soldiers and the people in the city were all hanging by a thread.

"Bang." Tan Junyan slammed the table hard.

"Damn dog emperor."

If he really just left, the Tan family army would surely fall apart.

Without the Tan family army guarding the border, the barbarian army would be able to move southward as if they were in an empty land, attacking cities and strongholds, threatening the royal city, and overthrowing the royal family.

In the end, only one in ten of the 60 million people in the Holy Dragon Kingdom will survive.

With such a foolish and incompetent monarch in power, it is really difficult for the country to prosper and the people to live in peace.

If we hadn't stockpiled a lot of food and supplies beforehand, we would have collapsed long ago.

But even so, it became a trapped beast.

If they can't get supplies, not only will the 100,000 Tan family soldiers be trapped to death, but the hundreds of thousands of civilians in the city will also become food for the barbarian army.

Two years of insect plagues and three years of severe drought have already left the land widespread with famine and countless bones.

People in every city are struggling in despair, and people fall down from hunger every day.

The barbarian army is watching eagerly, ready to attack at any time.

In order to survive, they have begun to eat human flesh and drink human blood.

The people of the Holy Dragon Kingdom are called two-legged sheep by them.

General Ziyang stepped forward and said, "General Han is absolutely right. We are running out of food and supplies, and we will become increasingly weak. If you don't leave now, you will have no chance."

Tan Junyan shook her head slightly.

"Years of natural disasters have left the land barren, and the high taxes levied by the imperial court have all gone into the pockets of the eunuchs."

"If I go back and become the emperor's concubine, will you have water and food?"

"The imperial court can no longer support us!"

"Now that the enemy is at the gates, even if the imperial court still has supplies, it's too late."

"***!" Han Chonglie clasped his fists heavily.

"When you go back, at least you won't have to die of thirst or hunger here with us."

"Your Tan family is full of loyal and brave people. You are the last one in the Tan family. We will escort you out of the city even if it means sacrificing our own lives."

"You have led us to guard the border for three years. The Tan family army has grown from 280,000 at the beginning to less than 100,000 now. You can be considered to have done a great job of loyalty to the Holy Dragon Dynasty."

"The dog emperor is a ruthless and incompetent ruler. It's not worth dying for him."

"The soldiers have been starving and haven't had a drop of water for days. They're about to collapse. Don't hesitate while we still have some strength."

"I beg you, General!"

All the generals stood up and expressed their opinions, signaling Tan Junyan to leave quickly.

There was a hint of determination in Tan Junyan's eyes.

"My father and brothers died on the battlefield. How can I abandon the Tan family army and the people of this city and live in shame?"

"Fuck!" Han Chonglie's old eyes turned red and he knelt on the ground.

"You care about the soldiers and the people, which is admirable."

"But we are not asking you to abandon the Tan family army. We just can't bear to see you suffer here."

"If anything happens to you, there will be no one left in the Tan family."

"General Han!" Tan Junyan stepped forward and helped Han Chonglie up.

"You have followed the Tan family since you were young. You have watched me grow up and know what kind of person I am, Tan Junyan."
