Lord Fu quickly helped Madam Fu into the carriage.
They were lucky enough as they had a carriage to take shelter temporarily, but the victims in front of the door were in a miserable state. They huddled together with their heads buried low, letting the yellow earth fall all over their heads.
At this time, someone in the crowd cried out, "Dad, what happened to you? Dad! You can't just leave me like this!"
Chu Chenyin listened to the sound, endured the pain in his eyes and looked into the distance, and saw an old man dying in his son's arms.
They had a bumpy ride, ate a lot of sand on the way, and were delayed for more than ten hours. People with weak health might not be able to bear it.
Chu Chenyin was a little shocked. He had seen sandstorms before, but this was the first time he saw someone die from one.
Humans are truly insignificant, like ants in the face of natural disasters.
Minister Chu on the tower saw the sandstorm getting worse, so he covered his mouth and nose and shouted back at Madam Fu: "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. Since she has married into your Fu family, she is a member of your Fu family. Whether she lives or dies, it has nothing to do with me!"
It’s none of his business whether he lives or dies!
Since he didn't see himself as a daughter, she wouldn't see him as a father either.
Chu Chenyin let the veil rise up, squinting at Minister Chu who was about to leave the tower, with a hint of cruelty between his brows.
She turned around, grabbed Fu Yanting's arm and walked to the back of the carriage, "Come with me!"
Seeing this, Fu Yanting immediately asked her, "What's wrong?"
"It looks like Minister Chu will not open the city gate today." Chu Chenyin glanced at the top of the city wall.
Fu Yanting's eyes turned cold. "Since they won't open the city gate, then we will find a way to destroy it!"
Chu Chenyin smiled and nodded slightly, "My husband, have you thought about how to destroy it?"
Fu Yanting lowered his head and said, "I think Madam should have an idea in mind."
"Wait a minute." Chu Chenyin said seriously. While the Fu family members were on the carriage, she secretly came to the armory in the space and moved out three howitzers.
Fu Yanting helped disperse the victims around the city gate.
Because there was yellow sand all around, no one noticed Chu Chenyin's howitzer placed in the front.
Fu Yanting asked Fu Kanghong to comfort Lord Fu and Madam Fu, and let them sit in the carriage as much as possible.
Seeing that everything was almost ready, Chu Chenyin ignited the three howitzers.
Inside the city, Minister Chu had just come down from the tower and was about to walk towards his residence, his face still full of pride, "Marquis Fu has been showing off in front of me for so many years, now the tide has turned! They deserve to suffer outside!"
"And that Fu Yanting, he's so disrespectful, saying that there are many ways to make us open the door! No matter how powerful their martial arts are, they can't open this copper-walled and iron-walled city gate! Humph!"
