Chapter 979 Hate and Helplessness
Prince Jun was deliberately looking down on him, disdaining him, and ignoring him. How could it be seen that he was afraid of him?
Prince Jun even displayed such powerful Qinggong in front of him, which was equivalent to slapping him in the face.
Zhou Dingzhen had planned everything well on the way here, but Prince Jun's reaction disrupted all his plans.
Who could have known that Prince Jun would have such a personality?
It's really hateful and helpless.
"Prince Jun, Zhou Dingzhen has been shouting for the princess to leave. He must be trying to use her to lure you out as well." An Nian said to Xiao Lanyuan, "But if the princess doesn't leave, Zhou Dingzhen will definitely put all the blame on her, and the emperor will also take the opportunity to punish her."
At that time, Zhou Dingzhen only needs to tell the emperor that it was the princess who was unwilling to show up and explain Zhecheng's condition, so that he was unclear about the situation and treated the patients wrongly. Then the responsibility will be all on the princess.
After all, An Nian is just a subject and he cannot rebel against the emperor, so he is now worried that the emperor will punish Fu Zhaoning.
Fu Jinchen looked at Xiao Lanyuan.
"If Zhao Ning doesn't leave, the emperor won't be able to punish her." Xiao Lanyuan said calmly, "She will curb the disease and cure these patients. By then, it will be her credit, not her fault."
All they have to do is buy Fu Zhaoning enough time.
Give her time to heal those patients.
"Then we should use Zhaoning's powder. It can temporarily hold back Zhou Dingzhen and these soldiers."
"Okay." Just use the powder.
"Let's see which way the wind blows."
Fu Jinchen stretched out his hand and looked at the sky again. "We have to use the powder before it rains. There will be a strong wind before it rains, and I can determine the wind direction. It will not be suitable to use the medicine after it rains."
He looked at the soldiers outside the city and frowned. "But with so many people, it's not easy to use the powder. Where can we spread the powder and get away safely—"
"Leave this to me." Xiao Lanyuan withdrew from Zhou Dingzhen's sight, made a gesture, and soon more than a dozen black-clad shadow guards appeared.
"Prepare the wind wings." Xiao Lanyuan ordered.
"yes."
The shadow guards retreated quickly again.
An Nian couldn't help but feel curious for a moment.
He had never seen the shadow guards around Xiao Lanyuan before. It was obvious that their lightness skills were much better than those of Qing Yishiyi and his group. They came and went without a trace. Even though they were right in front of them, their speed of coming and going was so fast that it dazzled him.
I can't see clearly at all.
"What is a wind wing?"
"This is a gift from my wife. You won't understand even if I tell you. I'll let you see it when I have a chance."
Xiao Lanyuan's tone was very arrogant when he said this.
This was the blueprint that Fu Zhaoning had drawn for him before, telling him how to use a piece of clothing to assist in light work. He had fifteen sets developed, and it happened to be in use recently.
In fact, it is the same principle as wing suit flying.
Fu Zhaoning mentioned it to Xiao Lanyuan, and he was very interested, so he asked more detailed questions.
Fu Zhaoning originally thought that the materials used for making things here were useless to them, but what she didn't expect was that Xiao Lanyuan had such a team of shadow guards who were good at light work and were all extremely talented in it.
These people are already masters of Qinggong, and with the improved wind wings, they can use it even more powerfully, just like a hawk that can fly.
When Fu Zhaoning suggested using medicinal powder, Xiao Lanyuan had already thought of Feng Yi.
Fifteen people, using the wind wings at the same time, could spread the powder and then retreat quickly according to the wind direction.
Fu Zhaoning received the news and prepared the medicine.
The medicinal powder is divided into fifteen bags in total. When the time comes, they will calculate the wind direction, first use the towering trees, and then use the wind wings and lightness skills to spread the medicinal powder over a large area.
"These powders have an antidote. You should all take the antidote first, so that if you accidentally inhale it, nothing bad will happen."
Fu Zhaoning handed the antidote to them.
Fu Jinchen has already gone to check the wind direction and find the most suitable position to start.
By the time they had finished their work, the hour that Zhou Dingzhen had given to Prefect You had arrived.
Zhou Dingzhen sent people to the bottom of the city wall to make announcements.
"Master You! The time has come. Open the city gates and send the patient out immediately, or don't blame us for being rude!"
Over there, under Fu Jinchen's instructions, the shadow guards wearing wind wings sneaked out silently.
Xiao Lanyuan stood on the city wall again.
His appearance there just happened to attract the attention of Zhou Dingzhen and the others, causing them to ignore other people and allowing the Fengyi Shadow Guards to take action.
"The towers of Zhecheng are all made of blue bricks. Zhou Dingzhen, you want to attack with fire. Is your brain stuck in the door?" Xiao Lanyuan's voice spread far away.
Zhou Dingzhen became annoyed and waved his hand, ordering the artillery to move forward.
The soldiers pushed the artillery cart closer to the city gate.
"Prince Jun, do you think the artillery can destroy the tower of Zhecheng?"
It is still possible to shoot fireballs into the city.
"I am standing right here. Try firing your cannon. It is best to aim well and kill me directly. Otherwise, after returning to the capital, I will go to the palace and ask the emperor in person what you, Zhou Dingzhen, meant by firing at me."
Xiao Lanyuan's words made Zhou Dingzhen angry again.
Is Prince Jun determined to use himself as a shield to force him not to dare to launch a fire attack on Zhecheng?
So, You Zhangwen's promise to send the patient out of the city was also a lie? Was it just to delay time?
"Prince Jun, this general is acting on orders. Now I advise Prince Jun to get out of the way. Otherwise, the artillery fire is merciless. If Prince Jun is really injured by mistake, there is nothing we can do!"
Zhou Dingzhen was determined to take action.
Since they couldn't force him to do it, he could only resort to such tough measures.
As long as they really started the fire attack, he didn't believe that Prince Jun and Prefect You would be able to hold back!
He also planned to send a group of soldiers to attack the city and throw torches directly at the disaster relief site.
Even if we cannot force those patients out of the city, then let them become completely chaotic, causing trampling and forcing them to lose their composure, and then they will want to rush out of the city to seek survival.
With so many disaster victims gathered together, it was difficult for You Zhangwen to completely control them.
When the victims were in complete chaos, with people trampling on each other and crying, he would then lead his troops to set fire under the pretext of trying to quell the chaos.
To this end, he had people prepare a lot of kerosene. Once the torches were lit, they could be thrown all over the sky after attacking the city wall, setting fires everywhere in the city.
"Prince Jun had better persuade Prefect You to send all the patients out. Zhecheng can no longer afford so many people. Prefect You should be happy that this general is here to take over!"
The wind suddenly picked up.
Xiao Lanyuan stood on the city wall and glanced at Fu Jinchen.
Fu Jinchen nodded, "Okay, the wind direction is correct."
Now it depends on whether Fu Zhaoning’s medicine is really that effective.
