Legend has it that there is a treasure in Qianzhou, and the value of the treasure is enough to rival an entire country.
Over the years, the Qianzhou royal family has never given up the search for the treasure. Duanmu Anguo, who had been living in the Northern Territory and had heard of this matter, has never given up his desire for the treasure. Even though he has become a stray dog and has to leave the Northern Territory and go far away, he still dreams of obtaining the treasure and establishing his own country.
Unfortunately, most of the treasure maps were in Xuan Tianming's hands, and it would be difficult to search without a map. However, Duanmu Anguo knew Qian Zhou better than Xuan Tianming, and even knew Qian Zhou better than many people in Qian Zhou, so he could go to some places that many people overlooked.
Just last year, he sneaked into Qianzhou again and searched secretly in a blind spot at the intersection of Qianzhou and Dashun. However, he did not find the treasure, but he unexpectedly discovered a strange tunnel. The tunnel was damaged and blocked at both ends. No one knew where the tunnel led to, but in that unblocked space lay countless frozen corpses. Because of the special climate environment of Qianzhou, those corpses were frozen before they had time to rot, and they were basically well preserved. Many people still had the expression of the moment of death on their faces.
Duanmu Anguo saw despair, fear, and confusion on the faces of those corpses. But these were not the most important things. What really concerned him were the strange clothes those people wore, and the strange objects they held in their arms, tied to their bodies, and placed in wooden boxes around them.
He once found a notebook on a corpse. It was a notebook, but it was different from the notebooks he usually saw. The paper was different, and the cover was made of a material he didn't recognize. In particular, the words written inside looked more like ghost symbols to him, and he couldn't recognize them at all. Occasionally, some individual words looked very similar to words he knew, but they were just similar, and he still couldn't recognize them.
He found this matter very strange, so he hid the notebook in his arms, and ordered people to collect all the strange items in this place and store them together. He then sealed the tunnel and issued a gag order to his men, telling them that no one was allowed to mention what they had seen to anyone else, otherwise there would be only one outcome: death!
Duanmu Anguo hurriedly left Qianzhou and returned to Zongsui with a large number of strange items, and kept them in a secret base. During this period, he kept researching what they were, but to no avail. Until one day, a spy reported that Dashun used some strange things called thunder and guns in the battle against Gushu.
The spy's description of the thunder and firearms made Duanmu Anguo's heart move, and he almost immediately had a new understanding of the mysterious things he had. So he went to the mountains and tried repeatedly, and finally he figured out how to use those things. At that moment, Duanmu Anguo was so happy that he almost thought that the whole world belonged to him.
What is Dashun afraid of if he has the thunder? That is a well-known fact and can be prevented. But he has the thunder in his hand, which is indeed a secret. He can completely use these things to catch Dashun off guard.
Whenever he thought of that adventure, whenever he thought of what he had, Duanmu Anguo couldn't help but laugh. What about Xuan Tianming? What about Feng Yuheng? What you have, I also have. Let's fight to the death in Tongcheng, using thunder and guns!
In the deep mountains on the outskirts of Jiancheng, Xuan Tianhua and his party were trapped in a cave. Eight of the ten secret guards surrounded him. He sat against the mountain wall, with large bloodstains on his white robe, looking a little embarrassed.
He drew a Bagua diagram on the ground, held the broken stones picked up by the secret guard in his hand, sat cross-legged, and threw the stones onto the Bagua diagram from time to time. After a while, he shook his head and sighed.
He built a city for 300,000 people, and that was all he could do. Unfortunately, saving people temporarily could not save them forever. He had no ability to rescue those who were awakened by the magic harp, nor did he have the ability to completely summon their sanity back. All he could do was stop watching people killing each other crazily, that was all.
The hexagram was put away, and the Bagua diagram on the ground was completely wiped out with a wave of his sleeve. The great catastrophe of building the city was not the end of the death hexagram. Xuan Tianhua's brows were tightly furrowed. In other words, after building the city, there will be a greater catastrophe waiting for them. What will it be?
He was silent for a while, then said to the secret guard beside him: "Rest for another night, leave the mountain tomorrow and take a detour to Tongcheng."
The secret guard said with some concern: "Your Highness's internal energy has been exhausted and has not yet fully recovered. Isn't it too hasty to leave tomorrow?"
Xuan Tianhua shook his head, "No hurry, it will be too late if we don't leave now. Ming'er is already searching the mountain, I can't let him find me. Once he finds me, I won't be able to survive the disaster ahead for him, and my trip to the East Realm will be meaningless." He stood up, walked to the entrance of the cave, and looked in the direction of Jiancheng. Ming'er and Ah Heng are here, and since he can't stop them, he can only get ahead of them step by step. The sign of death is approaching, and he can even feel the breath of death. Is it Tongcheng ahead?
The two secret guards who went to Tongcheng to investigate returned to the cave before dawn. They told Xuan Tianhua: "His Highness the Ninth Prince's men are still searching in the mountains, and they will soon find the mountain where we are hiding. In addition, Tongcheng is very strange. Not only was the city sealed early, but checkpoints were set up five miles away from the four city gates. There are a large number of generals guarding them, and no one is allowed to approach. Within five miles from the checkpoint to the city gate, it is as if there is no one."
Five miles of defense and checkpoints? Xuan Tianhua blinked, "If that's the case, there must be clues within five miles, let's explore further."
The loss of Jiancheng was not good news for Zong Sui, but at the same time, the news that the seventh prince of Dashun was seriously injured and dying excited the court of Zong Sui. Using a city to destroy a prince, the people of Zong Sui felt that this was a good deal.
The court officials fully affirmed that Duanmu Anguo could deal such a great blow to Dashun, especially since the seriously injured prince was the seventh prince, which was equivalent to the loss of one of the wings of the ninth prince, and the force was quite great. Although the city was massacred when the city was built, this incident could just be used by Zong Sui to make a big fuss. The ninth prince of Dashun actually massacred the people of the city. Such a person should be despised by the whole world.
In the previous dynasty of the Sui Dynasty, people began to plot against their consciences how to establish Xuan Tianming as a notorious and terrible demon, and the Queen Chun Yuqing in the harem also received the news that Xuan Tianhua was seriously injured. She was heartbroken for a while and had no choice but to summon the imperial physician.
Chunyu Qing learned from her father Chunyu An in the morning that Duanmu Anguo had a trump card to deal with Dashun. She also heard about what happened in Jiancheng. Her father told her that on the surface it seemed that Dashun massacred the city, but in fact, Jiancheng was destroyed by Duanmu Anguo because he fed all the people in the city a kind of medicine. Even if Dashun did not massacre Jiancheng, no one in Jiancheng would survive. The ninth prince of Dashun was just taking the blame.
But both she and Chunyu An knew that the medicine was not Duanmu Anguo's last resort. They were all guessing what the last resort was, but Duanmu Anguo didn't say anything, and the new emperor Li Jian didn't say anything either. This matter became a mystery, and it was always kept in their hearts. It was not right to let it go, and it was not right not to let it go.
The queen suddenly felt a pain in her chest, and Li Jian came to see her after leaving the court. The emperor and the queen talked politely for a while, and Chun Yuqing suddenly said to Li Jian: "I have almost dealt with my family's affairs. Now that the Sui Dynasty is in need of people, it is time for the emperor to let my father go to the battlefield."
Unexpectedly, Li Jian waved his hand and laughed, "Don't worry, Queen. We don't need Zong Sui's generals to fight against Dashun for the time being. With Duanmu Anguo here, I believe there will be victory news soon."
"Oh?" Chun Yuqing was puzzled. "Why is the emperor so sure? Zong Sui has already lost two cities! I met father yesterday, and he was very sad when I told him about this. If father takes action, maybe we can get those two cities back."
Li Jian shook his head. "My Queen, you don't understand what happens on the battlefield. Lost cities can't be taken back so easily. Moreover, they are just two cities. Compared with the life of the Seventh Prince and the life of the Ninth Prince who will be in your hands soon, what are they worth?"
Chun Yuqing's eyes twitched imperceptibly, and he asked carefully, "Your Majesty is so sure that we can win this battle? But does General Duanmu have any other tricks to defeat the enemy?"
"Yes!" Li Jian snorted coldly, with a sinister look on his face, "We are sure we can win, and Duanmu Anguo must win as well. We must consume the thing in his hand in the next battle. I can't let him keep that thing to threaten Zong Sui. It will be a future trouble. If it is not eliminated, I will be restless day and night."
"What is it that makes His Majesty so worried?" Chunyu Qing half-raised herself and asked him, "Can Your Majesty tell me?"
Li Jian raised his lips and smiled, "My Queen, have you ever heard of the Dashun Heavenly Thunder? The thing in Duanmu Anguo's hand is the same as that Heavenly Thunder."
Chun Yuqing was shocked. He was still shocked even after Li Jian had left. Duanmu Anguo had a thunderbolt in his hand! How could he have such a thing? Dashun's thunderbolt was in the light, while Duanmu Anguo's thunderbolt was in the dark. With the dark against the light, Duanmu Anguo had a great chance of winning. If he used a thing like thunderbolt to fight against Dashun, what if the Seventh Prince...△≧△≧△≧△≧
She didn't dare to think further, and hurriedly got off the ground, walking back and forth in the palace, feeling uneasy. The news that Xuan Tianhua was seriously injured had already made her very sad, but serious injury did not mean death, there was still a glimmer of hope. But if she encountered a thunderbolt, she almost couldn't imagine what it would be like for such an immortal to be blown up by thunderbolt. Chun Yuqing felt that she would go crazy, just like the Sixth Princess Li Yue, who would go crazy because of that person in her heart.
Li Yue once told her that Xuan Tianhua, the seventh prince of Dashun, had a kind of magic. Once you put him in your heart, you will never be able to accommodate anyone else. He will always live in your heart and will not come out until the moment of your death!
She thought Li Yue was exaggerating at first, but now she thought about it, she agreed with Li Yue. Yes! Once that person is in your heart, he will take root and sprout.
"Wu Yan." She called out in a deep voice, "He is seriously injured. I am really worried. Send someone to the west immediately to quietly guard. If he is in danger, be sure to rescue him."
The eunuch remained silent after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he finally said, "Your Majesty, he is the prince of Dashun, Your Majesty should not..."
"I know I shouldn't do this." Chun Yuqing held his chest, "but I just can't help it. Let's not do anything else, just save his life, okay?"
"Well done, Chun Yuqing!" Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the door of the bedroom. Chun Yuqing was shocked, and then he heard the voice again: "I will tell the emperor! You actually have such thoughts!"
