When Zuo Dayi heard that Xuan Tianming had something for him to do, he stood at attention and listened to his orders. However, he heard Xuan Tianming say to him, "Since you are the governor of Jiancheng, you should be responsible for this city and all the people. ( . . ) This king orders you to save all the people in Jiancheng."
Zuo Da started to cry after hearing this, "He can't be saved! Your Highness, Duanmu Anguo's evil thing almost got me into trouble! I've heard of that thing, it's called the Walking Corpse Powder, once you take it, you can't get rid of it, if you want to live, you have to keep taking it. But even so, he can't live for more than a few years, how... can we save him?"
"Hmph!" Xuan Tianming snorted coldly and ignored Zuo Da. He also heard that Zuo Da was just a prefect who was playing tricks on others and knew nothing about what Duanmu Anguo was planning. He even never saw Duanmu Anguo again after he entered the secret room.
He looked into the distance, and saw people still rushing forward frantically. Some people had scattered and rushed towards them, howling and shouting, and soon they were also thrown into disarray. Zuo Da took the opportunity to pull his son into the crowd again, and soon disappeared. Bai Ze was anxious and asked Xuan Tianming: "Do you want to chase them back?"
Xuan Tianming waved his hand, "No need, useless person, let him go!" As he spoke, he continued to search the crowd. Not long after, he spotted a small figure. He pointed forward and shouted, "Look! Is that your princess?"
Everyone looked over, but only Bai Ze had seen Feng Yuheng. He argued for a long time and nodded desperately: "Yes, it's the princess, that's the princess. Great, master, we finally reunited with the princess."
But, it's not that easy to reunite. Xuan Tianming rushed towards the crowd again, and saw Feng Yuheng on the other side also saw him and rushed towards him. But he was better off, after all, he was following the crowd, while Feng Yuheng was going against the flow. After several efforts, not only did they fail to get closer, but they were pushed further away.
Xuan Tianming was helpless, and signaled to his men, asking them to use their Qinggong skills, using the shoulders and heads of those crazy people as support, and then they rushed forward in mid-air.
Feng Yuheng was picked up from the crowd by him in this situation. When their hands were clasped together, her first words were: "I have never seen so many crazy people! What are they going to do?"
"Duanmu Anguo gave everyone in the city drugs. Now they are all crazy and want to seek revenge on the Dashun people." He explained simply and concisely: "The drug is in the water. Remember, you can't drink the water used to build the city."
She was shocked. The whole city must have at least 200,000 or 300,000 people. Only that old thief Duanmu could do such a crazy thing. She was a doctor, and she could tell at a glance what kind of drugs these people had taken. The more she saw this, the more distressed she felt because she couldn't cure it. This wasn't a disease, it was an addiction, an addiction to drugs.
"We have to get to the camp before them and let Brother Seven make preparations." Xuan Tianming said as he carried Feng Yuheng and moved forward with Qinggong. People were so crazy that they were not surprised by this behavior at all. They even hated themselves for not being able to fly. Many people even felt that they were flying, and those flying people above were also flying.
A dozen people walked along the way with Qinggong, and finally left those crazy people behind for a distance. Wang Chuan took a breath and asked Bai Ze in a low voice: "None of our people have been infected with that kind of stuff, right?"
Bai Ze shook his head: "Don't worry, we were very careful, and no one got involved at all." After that, he licked his lips with his tongue and continued: "I was so thirsty that I could hardly bear it. I was eagerly waiting for the princess to come and save my life, but what I waited for was the collective madness of building a city."
"If we hadn't met the Lotus King on the way, we would have arrived long ago." Wang Chuan shook his head helplessly, looked at Bai Ze's dry lips, and said, "There will be water to drink when we reach the camp."
At the same time, military reports had already arrived at the place where Xuan Tianhua had set up camp. Hundreds of thousands of people from Jiancheng, including the elderly and children, rushed out and all pressed towards their camp, vowing to fight a decisive battle with the Dashun Army.
Xuan Tianhua couldn't understand. Although he had heard that the people of Zong Sui were very loyal to the country and were very hostile to Dashun, and even in many cities, every household had iron weapons, and once a war broke out, everyone would become a soldier. But it was not to the extent that even the elderly and children would rush out of the city to join the battlefield, right?
As he pondered, he squatted on the ground, propped one hand on the ground, held his breath, and soon felt the abnormal vibration coming from the ground. The vibration was not regular, and was even very chaotic, but it was very fast. He estimated that someone would rush to the camp in a stick of incense at most.
He asked the herald, "Are you sure that those who are rushing over here are all civilians?"
The messenger replied, "It is all the people in Jiancheng, except for the babies who are still breastfeeding. But it also includes the army that Zong Sui originally stationed in Jiancheng, the exact number of people is unknown."
Qian Li shuddered after hearing this, grinning and saying, "Are the people of Zong Sui so united? It's just a war, is it necessary for everyone to rush forward? If the people also go to the battlefield, what are the soldiers for? How can such a war be fought?"
He Gan said, "Fight as you should! Since they have already gone to the battlefield, it means they have given up their status as ordinary people. Since they have picked up swords, they are no different from soldiers. Therefore, we should not regard them as ordinary people, but as enemy troops. We must never be soft-hearted when dealing with enemy troops." After he finished speaking, he turned the gun in his hand, then looked at Xuan Tianhua and asked, "Seventh Prince, how about I take some people to take a look first! After a group of grenades are blown up, the ones behind will be obedient. We can't really let them rush into our camp."
Qian Li also thought that what He Gan said made sense, so he nodded and agreed: "Yes, since we are on the battlefield, we are no longer civilians, so just fight them."
But Xuan Tianhua didn't think so. He said, "Even if everyone is a soldier, it's not possible that the elderly and children will rush over to kill. This matter is definitely not as simple as you think." He looked up in the direction of the vibration and could already vaguely hear people screaming. Qian Li and He Gan were anxious and kept asking him what to do, but he just said, "Ming'er is building the city, and Ah Heng went to meet him this morning. Now that something has happened, they will definitely take action. At least they will come and tell us what happened in Jiancheng."
He was right. Almost as soon as he finished speaking, someone in the camp shouted, "The Ninth Prince and Princess Yu are here!" Someone else ran up to him and asked him if he wanted to let the Ninth Prince in.
Xuan Tianhua ordered with a sullen face: "Please come in quickly."
Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianming rushed over directly using Qinggong, along with a group of followers behind them. After meeting, they went straight to the point and told Xuan Tianhua what happened when he built the city. Then Feng Yuheng suggested: "If it doesn't work, we should retreat first, retreat to Bincheng. I'm afraid the drugs those people took are not strong enough to run to Bincheng in one breath. Let's go back first and close the city gates, at least we can hold them off for a while."
But Xuan Tianxuan shook his head and said, "It's not that easy for the army to retreat. I'm afraid those people will rush over when we move the camp."
"Then we can only fight!" Feng Yuheng said with a sullen face: "Use mines to blow them up, use guns to shoot them, there are only a few hundred thousand people, with me here, there is no need to worry about the ammunition problem."
"Fight?" Xuan Tianhua looked reluctant. "They are all ordinary people who were harmed by Duanmu Anguo. If we fight, what's the difference between that and massacring the whole city? Hundreds of thousands of people! After they die, who will know that they took Duanmu Anguo's medicine? Who will listen to Dashun's explanation?" He said, looking at Xuan Tianming and asked, "Ming'er, if it were you, what would you do?"
Xuan Tianming stared at him and said word by word: "Ah Heng said that when morality and life conflict, the first thing we should consider is always our own life. Hundreds of thousands of lunatics are coming, they have no reason, no sense of pain, even if you cut off their legs, they will crawl to you and stab you again. Hundreds of thousands of people like this are much more terrifying than hundreds of thousands of regular troops. If Seventh Brother is kind to the enemy, it is cruel to himself."
While they were talking, some fast runners had already arrived at the camp and started a conflict with the soldiers. These people were all civilians, and they did not follow the rules when fighting. Not only did they hack and slash at random, but there were even children who climbed on the Dashun soldiers and opened their mouths to bite the soldiers' ears.
The soldiers of Dashun were very passive. They could fight back when facing strong men, but they could not bring themselves to strike back when facing children, old people, and women. They could not bring themselves to strike, but the other side was not ambiguous at all. The women stretched out their hands with long nails to grab the soldiers' faces, and the old people threw the soldiers to the ground and strangled their necks. A little girl, no more than four or five years old, was entangled with a soldier, holding half of the soldier's ear in her bloody mouth.
Qian Li subconsciously took a step back and said in a lost voice: "They are really all crazy, they are really all crazy!"
Xuan Tianming pointed at the scene in front of him and said, "Seventh Brother, you saw it, right? Can these still be considered human beings?"
Xuan Tianhua looked over with a sad face. He said, "But this is not what they are like. You want me to massacre all these hundreds of thousands of people. I can't do it. Ming'er, go back and take Ah Heng back to Fuzhou. Never set foot in Zong Sui territory again. Qianli, organize the troops to withdraw to Bincheng and close the city gates. As long as Jiancheng is not at peace, the gates of Bincheng must not be opened."
"What about you?" Everyone was asking him this question. The army had all left, and Qian Li had taken them away. So what was the Seventh Prince going to do?
Feng Yuheng grabbed Xuan Tianhua's sleeve and said anxiously, "Seventh Brother, don't think that we can all leave and you can stay alone! You can't solve this problem by yourself! If you want to leave, we leave together, and if you want to stay, we stay together!"
Xuan Tianhua shook his head and pointed forward, "Look, the camp is getting more and more lively."
