The entire Jiancheng was like a concentration camp of zombies. Those who had temporarily regained their sanity under Xuan Tianhua's magic piano eventually returned to the city. Even though Xuan Tianhua warned them at the last moment to stay away from their hometown and not drink the water in Jiancheng, where else could they go except Jiancheng? They were born here, grew up here, and even though they knew there was a problem, they still had to return here!
Moreover, the magic harp only temporarily sobered them up, but it could not remove the effect of the blissful Xiaoyao powder in their bodies. Soon, the drug took effect, and the addicted nerves stimulated them to fall into madness again. I don't know who started it first, turning around and running back to Jiancheng, so everyone followed behind, desperately rushing back to Jiancheng, rushing to every well, drinking water in big gulps.
Many people were injured in this battle. When Feng Yuheng sneaked into Jiancheng, he saw a toddler standing in the corner, holding a broken arm in his arms and looking around unconsciously. The arm was his left arm, broken at the root, and blood flowed like a pillar. The child's face was pale, his body was shaking, and finally he couldn't stand anymore, and sat down on the ground with a plop. There was a woman next to him, who seemed to be the child's mother. When she saw the child fall, she wanted to help him, but her own abdomen was also broken with a big hole. When she stood up, her intestines flowed out.
They felt no pain, even if their arms were broken or their stomachs were cut open, as long as they could breathe they would die, and as long as there was a nerve connected they could still move. The woman lifted the child up and dragged him forward to a well, where she personally brought up a bucket of water. The two of them lay over the bucket and drank heartily, as if they were drinking the most delicious soup in the world, with satisfaction all over their faces.
As a doctor, she wanted to help the little boy reattach his arm, or at least stop the bleeding. Otherwise, he would soon die of excessive bleeding. However, more seriously injured people soon came into her sight, not only children, but also the elderly and even pregnant women. Everyone had injuries and needed immediate treatment, but she was alone, with only one pair of hands, and she could not save so many people.
Feng Yuheng had no idea where to start, so she could only stand there and watch, until a group of soldiers came from a distance, and then she came to her senses and hurriedly hid in a corner. Then she saw that the group of soldiers seemed to be looking for someone, searching the city, carefully identifying everyone, but no one was the one they were looking for. She heard someone say, "The seventh prince of Dashun is so injured, even if he escapes, he won't live long, right? What's the point of looking for him?"
Her heart skipped a beat!
Injured like that? What exactly was the injury? Duanmu Anguo's people were also looking for him, which meant that Xuan Tianhua was not dead, and had not fallen into Duanmu Anguo's hands. Therefore, the most important thing now was to find him before Duanmu Anguo did. No matter how badly injured he was, she was confident that she could heal him.
Feng Yuheng took a final look at the zombie city. She was powerless. The dosage of the drug Duanmu Anguo had given was too strong. These people were beyond help. The injured would die soon, and those who had no external injuries would not live for more than three months.
She originally wanted to search for Duanmu Anguo in Jiancheng, but Xuan Tianhua's news made her anxious. She hurried out of the city and returned to Bincheng without stopping.
At that time, Xuan Tianming was standing on the top of the city wall waiting for her. When he saw the small figure approaching from afar, he immediately went down to the city and opened the gate. When they met again, the first thing he asked her was: "Are you hurt?"
Feng Yuheng shook her head, "No, he was not injured, and he was not discovered." She grabbed Xuan Tianming's arm anxiously, panting and said, "Seventh Brother was seriously injured and his whereabouts are unknown. He did not fall into Duanmu Anguo's hands."
"Seriously injured." Xuan Tianming frowned. He was seriously injured, but he didn't fall into the hands of the enemy. So where could he go? "There are many mountains outside Jiancheng, all deep mountains. There are secret guards around the seventh brother. Since he didn't return to Bincheng, he must have gone to the mountains."
"But Duanmu Anguo's people are searching." Feng Yuheng said, "Jiancheng is their sphere of influence. If they spread their nets to look for it, they should be able to find it soon, right?" She was anxious, "Even if we go to look for it, we will definitely not be able to catch up with them. First, the road is far, and second, it is not convenient to move in someone else's territory. Xuan Tianming, what do you think we should do?" She looked up at him, "We can't just ignore Seventh Brother."
"Of course we can't just ignore it." Xuan Tianming took her hand and walked towards the city, saying as he walked, "If we want to ensure the safety of our seventh brother, we must make the three mu of land in Jiancheng our own. That will be the most beneficial. Do you think... can the people in Jiancheng be saved?" He asked Feng Yuheng, "I mean those people who were not injured, can they still survive?"
She shook her head. "Not long, three months at most."
"Three months." Xuan Tianming sighed, "Three months is too long. We can't wait."
"you mean……"
"Attack the city!" Xuan Tianming made the final decision. "Since the people have no way to survive, then Dashun will risk massacring the entire city to save Seventh Brother's life. Let me bear the blame, and if you want to massacre the entire city, then let's massacre it. In this battle, there should always be some trade-offs."
“Have you decided?” she asked Xuan Tianming, and at the same time she stretched out her hand to hold his hand tightly, “If you have decided, then I can do it for you. I am just a woman, I don’t care if I am scolded or not. If people in the world want to scold me, let them scold me. If people in the world want to be cruel to me, let them be cruel to me. My husband should not be misunderstood like that. I…”
"Woman!" Xuan Tianming's face darkened, and even his voice became a little colder, "Woman! Stand behind me!"
The Dashun Army began to attack Jiancheng, using thunder and guns to turn the entire city into ruins. None of the 300,000 civilians and 200,000 Sui soldiers in Jiancheng escaped, and all died in the city. Their blood and flesh turned into mud, flowing into an unknown river on such a winter day.
The sound of thunders made the earth tremble, just like an earthquake. Duanmu Anguo, who was hiding in the secret room of the prefectural government, could no longer sit still, because the spies reported that Xuan Tianming was not only slaughtering the city inch by inch, but also personally led people to surround the 100,000 private soldiers he had dispatched from all over the country. 100,000 people were killed without a single one left!
Duanmu Anguo gritted his teeth in anger, he didn't want to fight Dashun head-on in Jiancheng, those 100,000 people were just to cover up the ears of the new Emperor Sui. It would be best if the zombies who built the city could stop Xuan Tianhua, but if they couldn't, the next Tongcheng would be the place where he would have a decisive battle with Dashun.
But he didn't expect that Xuan Tianhua escaped with serious injuries, and Xuan Tianming, who was like the King of Hell, attacked again. If he had known that Xuan Tianming was here, he would never have let those 100,000 people fight against him. But now it was too late to say anything. Half of the 200,000 private soldiers were lost in an instant. Even if Duanmu Anguo was heartbroken, he was powerless to save the situation.
He asked his men, "Is there any news about the Seventh Prince?"
The subordinate shook his head: "Not yet, the search is still going on, but there are too many mountains and forests around the city, it is not easy to find."
Duanmu Anguo groaned and said, "He is seriously injured and can't escape too far. The magic harp has exhausted all his internal energy. At this moment, the Seventh Prince is no different from a useless person without martial arts. Even if someone protects him, he is still a burden. Unfortunately, we don't have much time. Forget it, since God doesn't want me to do anything in building the city here, then I will settle this account in Tongcheng! Is everything deployed in Tongcheng?"
The subordinate replied: "Don't worry, sir. Our other 100,000 brothers have already deployed defenses in Tongcheng. As long as you arrive in Tongcheng, we will be completely safe."
"Yes!" Duanmu Anguo laughed, "As long as we reach Tongcheng, we will be completely safe. What about the thunder from Dashun? Let's show them what I have prepared for them! Let's go! Let's leave this damn place. If Dashun massacres the city, when Emperor Sui interrogates us in the future, someone will be held responsible for this crime."
Duanmu Anguo left. When the Dashun Army entered the city, the horses' hooves were covered in meat paste. All the soldiers were on horses, and the infantry simply did not dare to enter the city. The feeling of stepping on meat paste with their feet was too terrifying, not to mention that those who died were all innocent civilians.
Dashun had fought so many battles, but had never done such a massacre. But today, they had to do it when building the city. Everyone had seen the madness of the city builders, and they were still frightened when they thought about it. Now these people have turned into meat paste and been trampled under the horses' hooves, but it still gives people the illusion that these meat pastes will reassemble into humans and launch a crazy attack on them again.
The city was taken, but there was no joy of victory. People covered their mouths and noses with black scarves and silently picked up the corpses of the city. Buckets of water were drawn from the well to wash the ground where the city was located, but they could not wash away the blood.
Xuan Tianming sent a large number of people to the nearby mountains to search for Xuan Tianhua, while Feng Yuheng checked the wells in the city one by one. Unfortunately, they finally concluded that the water source for building the city had been completely destroyed.
The army entered from the west gate and left from the east gate, setting up camp 20 miles outside the city. The remains of the city builders were burned together, and the stench of smoke spread far away, even to Tongcheng, which was standing far away.
They settled down here temporarily. Before finding the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua, Xuan Tianming had no intention of sending out more troops.
It was widely rumored that the Ninth Prince of Dashun slaughtered a city of Zong Sui, killing 300,000 civilians and 200,000 soldiers in the city. When Xuan Tianming heard this, he just snorted sinisterly and said, "I will slaughter them. Tell the King of Zong Sui that sooner or later, I will lead my troops to attack the capital of Zong Sui. This is the big show of him and the old thief Duanmu conspiring to rebel against Dashun!"
However, although the rumor of the massacre spread quickly, another rumor also spread. Especially in the next city, Tongcheng, people kept a secret at home: Duanmu Anguo, a popular figure around the emperor, gave the people of Jiancheng a drug that made everyone crazy. The drug was put in the well, and no one could escape it. Even if Dashun did not massacre Jiancheng, the people there would not live long.
So, when Feng Zhaolian's carriage entered Tongcheng, the most common phrase he heard was: You can't drink the water from the well!
