"Waaaaah..."
Zhen Wanwan only came to her senses when she heard the cries of the two children.
Seeing the two children crying until their faces were red, Zhen Wanwan's heart ached, and she rushed forward to hug them.
She gently comforted her, "Don't cry, baby~ They're setting off firecrackers outside!"
Although Guabao and Tianbao didn't know what firecrackers were, their fear dissipated when they lay in their mother's arms.
This scene occurred in every household, but the difference was that the people in other households felt it was God opening his eyes and punishing them with lightning.
People who have a grudge against each other secretly burn incense and pray that God will open his eyes and strike the other dead.
Of course, many people hoped to kill the Northern Hu people and the Yang King directly.
So that they can live their lives in peace!
Meanwhile, atop the city wall of Anqing Prefecture, a hundred miles away, everyone stared in disbelief at the scene unfolding before them.
This is like a god descending to earth to personally enforce the law!
Zhu Yuan's eyes widened slightly. He glanced at his brother-in-law beside him and saw that the man's legs were trembling and his eyes were empty and lifeless, as if he had flown away.
Seeing the excited expressions on everyone's faces, he stepped in front of Zhen Fugui, shielding him behind him to avoid being stared at.
However, his action was completely unnecessary.
Everyone's attention was focused on Cui Jinyi, because it was the cannon he had brought that had been fired.
Cui Jinyi was also completely taken aback; she had no idea what was going on!
Because of the heavy rain today, she was worried about how to complete the task of sprinkling chili powder that Zhen Wanwan had asked her to do.
Zhen Fugui secretly found her and handed her a round, heavy object.
It was said that she should throw this thing out in a critical situation.
Because of the current critical situation, she threw it away without hesitation.
Who knew it would cause such a commotion, making her ears ring and preventing her from hearing the voices of those around her.
But what shocked her most was the scene before her eyes: a large area about 400 meters outside the city, which had been occupied by hordes of Northern Hu people, was now empty.
The empty space was blasted into a deep crater, and the people who were originally in the crater had long since turned to ashes.
Only those closest to them, missing arms and legs, lay on the ground groaning in agony.
Of course, Cui Jinyi couldn't hear the sound at all, but she saw every single bloody scene.
It wasn't until someone tugged at her arm, looked at her with a smile, and spoke silently that Cui Jinyi came to her senses.
She picked at her ear in a very ungraceful manner and yelled, "What did you say? Speak louder!"
Lu Yunshen was sprayed in the face with her spittle, and he quickly took two steps back. After enduring it for a moment, he shouted again, "Where did you get this thing from?"
Cui Jinyi looked at the person whose mouth was wide open, with even their throat exposed, but who didn't make a sound.
I suddenly got a little angry. Is this person sick?
Feeling awkwardly glared at, Lü Yunshen scratched his head and didn't ask any more questions.
He knew that Cui Jinyi came from the Cui family, a family of mechanical masters, and this thing might be their ancestral family treasure!
His willingness to offer this so generously is likely a pledge of allegiance to Zhen Wanwan and Zhu Yuan.
After thinking it through, Lü Yunshen stopped worrying and returned to Zhuyuan's side to discuss the war.
After Cui Jinyi's attack, the remaining Northern Hu people began to feel fear and hesitated to advance.
Adding to the impact of the torrential rain, everyone was tempted to retreat.
But once the war begins, how can they be allowed to retreat at will?
At Zhuyuan's signal, the generals braved the torrential rain and excitedly charged out of the city.
Cui Jinyi touched the remaining thing in her hand, her heart trembling. She slowly shifted her gaze, eager to find Zhen Fugui and ask him where it came from.
Zhu Yuan observed this scene and frowned slightly. He knew that this boy was a wild child that his wife had picked up from outside.
Hearing that his wife liked him very much, he glanced at him and thought that it must be this boy's good looks that had captivated his wife.
Thinking this to himself, Zhu Yuan felt somewhat unhappy.
Out of sight, out of mind, he said to Lü Yunshen beside him, "Bring him down! And let the army doctor take a look at his ears while you're at it."
Clearly, Zhu Yuan had already noticed that Cui Jinyi had a hearing problem. Lü Yunshen was slightly taken aback, then replied, "Your subordinate obeys!"
After Lü Yunshen dragged Cui Jinyi down the city wall, only Zhu Yuan and Zhen Fugui remained.
After a long pause, Zhen Fugui finally came to his senses. His cheeks were flushed, and he excitedly tugged at Zhu Yuan's sleeve.
"Xiao Yuan! This! That! The thing that A Jin blew up just now, it was given to me by my little sister! I didn't expect it to be so powerful!!"
It was as terrifying as thunder from the heavens!
Zhu Yuan's eyelids twitched. He looked around and, seeing that no one had heard, he felt relieved.
He whispered to Zhen Fugui, "Brother, you must never reveal that it was given to you by the Madam! Remember that!"
Zhen Fugui was puzzled and asked in confusion, "Why? This is a joyous occasion!"
Helpless, Zhu Yuan explained to Zhen Fugui in detail the potential series of dangerous factors involved in the matter.
It was at this moment that Zhen Fugui realized that this thing not only brought fame, but also many dangers.
Thinking that his younger sister might be in danger, he said anxiously, "Then! Ah Jin already knows that I gave it to him. What should I say if he asks?"
Compared to Cui Jinyi, whom she wasn't very familiar with, Zhen Fugui felt that her brother-in-law was more reliable.
Zhu Yuan pursed his lips and said calmly, "Just say that Second Brother brought it back!"
“My second brother? But wasn’t he out on business with Lord Feng? It’s been more than half a year and there’s still no news of him returning. Even if I told A-Jin, he wouldn’t believe me.”
Zhen Fugui scratched his head and explained softly.
Zhu Yuan smiled slightly and said calmly, "Brother, don't worry, Second Brother is probably already home! We'll see him after the battle."
"What!" Zhen Fugui's eyes widened in surprise.
"My second brother is back! It's so good that he's back, so good that Dad and Mom are so happy! My little sister and the other children missed him so much!"
Zhu Yuan gave a faint "hmm." Not only that, he also received a letter from them saying they had returned ahead of schedule.
Thinking of the contents of the letter, Zhu Yuan's gaze involuntarily fell on the battlefield where a large crater had been blasted out.
I wonder how the things my brother-in-law brought back compare to what his wife brought back.
On the other side, Meizi Village was no longer the peaceful place it once was. The children who used to play in the village were now confined to their homes by their parents.
Impoverished families lost their will to cultivate the land on the mountain; everyone closed their doors and waited quietly.
They all heard the explosion just now, and Zhou Dashan has already told every household about the reason behind it.
Therefore, everyone clearly understands in their hearts that their husbands, sons, grandsons, and fathers are fighting on the battlefield!
