Tian Ping's daughter Tian Xi had contracted a strange disease five months ago. At that time, she had just arranged a marriage. Her husband was the son of the richest man in Tongcheng. He was upright and well-dressed, and there were no concubines in the mansion. The son of the richest man married the daughter of the prefect. This was originally a good thing, and Tian Ping was quite satisfied with this marriage.
The marriage was basically arranged, and the engagement papers had been exchanged, but suddenly one day, Tian Xi had unbearable abdominal pain for no apparent reason. The prefecture summoned a doctor, but he could not find out what was wrong. He thought she had caught a cold, and prescribed some herbal medicine for her to drink, and told her to rest for a few days and she would be fine.
Tian Xi did everything as instructed, and her condition really improved, but within five days, it recurred. After the injection, the pain would occur almost every three to five days. Not only was it painful, but after more than a month, her stomach gradually changed and became bigger for no reason.
The Tian family was shocked and thought their daughter had done something unfaithful, but when questioned, Tian Xi swore that she had never done anything to bring shame to the family, and Tian Ping became anxious. All the doctors in Tongcheng looked at Miss Tian, but no one could tell what disease Miss Tian had. Of course, although her belly was big, she could not feel a pulse.
However, people's minds are like this. Although the doctor said that there was no pregnancy pulse, the big belly was just because something grew inside the belly, but no one could tell what it was. So people spread the word, and later the topic was still focused on the fact that Miss Tian was pregnant. Some people even said in a serious manner: "There is something in the belly? It must be a child! What else can it be? Just wait and see! Miss Tian's belly must be getting bigger and bigger. Who would dare to marry such a girl?"
Unfortunately, Tian Xi's belly really grew as people said. So the richest man's family broke off the engagement. The young man said to Tian Ping: "Although I believe in Miss Tian's chastity, people's gossip is scary and our family can't afford it." In this way, Miss Tian not only suffered from a strange disease, but also became a person whose engagement was broken off. Her fate was miserable.
Tian Ping loved his daughter very much. Because of her illness, he felt listless. Not only did he have to endure people's gossip behind his back, but now he had to endure Duanmu Anguo's anger as well. This made him even more disgusted with this war that was instigated by Duanmu Anguo.
In an inn in the city, a waiter was carrying a large teapot and explaining to the guests in the room: "Don't worry, sir! Although this water is pumped from the well in the backyard, it is guaranteed to be fine. You have lived in our inn for so many days, and you drink this water every day! Do you see what's wrong? Don't worry! This morning, General Duanmu's personal soldiers came to try it. They dared to drink it themselves, so it must be fine."
"Did someone really try it this morning?" The guest didn't believe what the waiter said, and turned to ask his follower: "Yun Xiao, did you see them come to test the water?"
The guest was Feng Zhaolian, who entered the city before Tongcheng was sealed off. As soon as he entered, he heard that the water could not be drunk, which made him nervous these days, fearing that he would become a monster like those who built the city because of drinking water. He would argue with the waiter every day about the same thing, and only dared to drink a few sips until the waiter assured him that there was no problem with the water source.
Yun Xiao listened to his question and replied, "Some people did come to test the water, and it was fine after drinking it."
"Oh." Feng Zhaolian nodded, "Okay then! Since you said it's okay, I'll believe it. Waiter, pour some tea! I'm really thirsty too."
"Okay!" The waiter quickly filled the teapot and said as he poured the water, "It's no wonder that you are cautious, sir. Recently, everyone staying in the hotel is like you, asking several times a day. Because the city is sealed, the outsiders who stay in the hotel can't leave, and they have been stranded in Tongcheng for many days just like you. I don't know when this will end. You said that Dashun broke in from the west gate, so why did you also seal the east gate? You are really bored."
People in Tongcheng had a lot of complaints about Duanmu Anguo. Feng Zhaolian could hear people cursing the old thief Duanmu in groups every day. He would sometimes curse along, but more often he would stay in the guest room and sleep, as if he was on vacation and didn't care about the outside world at all.
After the waiter poured the water and left, the little girl Yun Duo took the change given by Feng Zhaolian and went out to buy him some snacks. Yun Xiao stood at the window and watched for a while, until Yun Duo's little figure turned a corner and went to another alley, then he closed the window again. "Master, why don't you let your subordinates find out where Duanmu Anguo is hiding? They say he is in the prefectural government, but he is nowhere to be seen inside and outside the prefectural government. It may be a cover, and he may be hiding somewhere else." Yun Xiao sneered, and then said: "Speaking of which, that old thief Duanmu is also old! I think he didn't live so miserably in the North Realm. It's really funny that such an arrogant person is now hiding all day long for fear of being plotted against."
Feng Zhaolian crossed his legs and ate melon seeds while saying, "This is Zong Sui, not the original Northern Territory. But the little emperor of Zong Sui is similar to the emperor of Qian Zhou. They are both willing to get close to that old thief and listen to him. But we are not in a hurry, and you don't have to bother looking for him. What did Yun Duo say? It's too dangerous to build a city, so we can't go. If we must go to Zong Sui, we should go to the city ahead! It sounds reasonable, but we came to Tongcheng because we listened to her advice. So, don't worry, with Yun Duo here, we will meet Duanmu sooner or later."
Yun Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "How did the master predict that Yun Duo must be related to Duanmu Anguo?" He said, and looked out the window again. Yun Duo had gone shopping and had not returned yet. He had been observing the girl these days, but he did not see anything wrong. He thought he was too sensitive at first, but just when he relaxed his vigilance, Feng Zhaolian insisted that there was something wrong with Yun Duo, which made Yun Xiao really curious.
When Feng Zhaolian heard him ask this, his eyes curved into a slit with a smile. He told Yun Xiao: "Intuition! My intuition! I have hated that old thief Duanmu all my life. I dream of tearing his face apart. So, I can smell the scent of the old thief Duanmu. Have you noticed Yun Duo's eyes? They are exactly the same as the old thief Duanmu's."
Yun Xiao touched his nose. Is that so? Okay! Now that he said that, it seems to be somewhat similar.
"You said..." Feng Zhaolian pondered again, "I don't know how our Huahua is doing. I heard that he can defeat his enemies with music, which is pretty cool. We were too hasty to leave that day! We should have left later, listened to him play the piano, and watched him fight the enemy. Maybe your master would change his mind and not take revenge, and live a carefree life with our Huahua!"
Yun Xiao twitched his lips, "Then you'd better think about revenge." But he couldn't continue. The Seventh Prince defeated his enemies with music. He heard that later the magic piano was all covered with his blood, there was blood when his fingers scratched the strings, there was blood when he bit his tongue to gather internal strength, and there was blood that spurted out when he ran out of energy at the end of playing... No one knows what happened to the Seventh Prince of Dashun, because he disappeared, and no one knew where he went. Duanmu Anguo's people were looking for him, and Dashun's people were also looking for him, but they have not found him yet.
Yun Xiao didn't want to tell Feng Zhaolian these words, but Feng Zhaolian wasn't stupid. Seeing Yun Xiao hesitate to speak, he smiled bitterly. "Don't hide it from me. In that situation, he is in great danger. But it's okay. I won't live long either. We will meet again sooner or later."
"Do you really want to die?" Yun Xiao gritted his teeth in anger.
Feng Zhaolian shook her head and said, "No, I want to live, but if I have to live without hatred, I might as well die. Yun Xiao, my revenge, the revenge of my father, mother, and everyone in the palace must be avenged."
Tongcheng was sealed off, and the people complained. Every day, people would go to the four city gates to try their luck. In fact, they didn't really have to leave the city for something, but they felt like they were locked in a cage with the four city gates closed, which made them uncomfortable.
One day, suddenly, there was a loud bang outside the west city gate. Almost half of the people in the city heard it, and they were so scared that they ran out of their houses and stood on the street looking in the direction of the sound, but after the loud bang, everything returned to calm.
Someone said, "Is it Dashun's thunder? Didn't we hear the noise when Jiancheng was bombed? It was similar to that noise. Could it be that Dashun has already reached Tongcheng?"
"What should we do? Should we run?"
"Where can we run to? The city gates are closed. We can't escape even if we want to! Tell me, is Duanmu Anguo helping Zong Sui or trying to harm him? Isn't he helping Dashun to trap Zong Sui's people to death?"
Some people hold a different view: "If the Dashun army attacks, it is impossible for it to be over with just one shot. We still have to watch. It may be that General Duanmu's men are tinkering with something again."
People were right. This time, it was Duanmu Anguo's men who were messing around. A servant came to Duanmu Anguo and reported, "When the brothers were laying mines, they accidentally exploded one, killing two people. But fortunately, it didn't cause other mines to explode, so it was a blessing."
Duanmu Anguo slammed his fist on the handle of the chair and warned his men: "Be careful, there aren't many of those things, there are only so many in total, and we brought them all to Tongcheng. We can't let them all be destroyed in our hands before they explode on the enemy. If we can't kill Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng in this battle, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered his men to leave. He then sighed, closed his eyes, and leaned back in his chair.
Thunder from the sky? Feng Yuheng, you never imagined that! You have something called thunder, and so do I!
