"What do you want to say to me? Speak!" He saw what Tian Ping was thinking and took the initiative to speak: "I have no intention of making things difficult for you. Since you are willing to surrender to Dashun, you should be protected and cherished by us just like the people of Dashun. The two people you sent back are my very important friends. I thank you. So, if you have any requests, just ask!"
Tian Ping was very excited. He didn't expect Feng Zhaolian to be the Ninth Prince's friend, and a very important friend. He raised his head, hope rekindled on his face: "Your Highness, I once saved the life of that young master surnamed Feng and helped him escape the pursuit of Duanmu Anguo. When he came to me for help, he said that if I helped him, the Princess Yu of Dashun would cure my daughter."
Xuan Tianming's heart tightened. Tian Ping's mention of Feng Yuheng made him feel very uncomfortable. His eyes turned and fell back to Feng Zhaolian, just in time to see the broken arm next to him. Then his eyes became stern and he pointed: "What is that? Whose arm is it?"
Tian Ping looked back and replied, "It belonged to Duanmu Anguo." Then he pointed at Yun Xiao and said, "He cut it off."
Xuan Tianming's body was filled with icy coldness again, and his eyes seemed to burn the broken arm. He got off his horse, walked to the flatbed cart, grabbed the broken arm, and crushed the joints of the arm with force. Tian Ping, who was standing next to him, saw this and couldn't help but shiver. He was actually asking for help from such a person, and it sounded like he was negotiating a deal with conditions. How brave was he?
But he had no choice. He wanted to save his daughter, so even if he was facing Xuan Tianming, who made him feel extremely terrified, he had to bite the bullet and give it a try. He was a captive anyway, and his life and death were uncertain. What if he tried it? If it didn't work, he would just die. It was nothing.
Tian Ping felt relieved when he thought about it, but then he remembered the rumor that Princess Yu and the Seventh Prince of Dashun were killed in a bombing outside the West City Gate last night, and he became worried again. If Princess Yu died, what would be the point of everything he did?
"Is your daughter's illness urgent?" Xuan Tianming let go, and the crushed arm fell out of his hand. He turned his head and said to Bai Ze who was following him: "Ask someone to pick it up and throw it outside the city to feed the dogs." Then he asked Tian Ping, "If it's not urgent, wait a few more days. My princess had some accidents in this war, but I believe she will be fine, so..." He glanced at Tian Ping and said coldly: "As the governor of Tongcheng, you'd better follow me and pray for the princess and the Seventh Prince to come back soon. Only in this way can my hatred for this city be reduced."
Tian Ping shuddered, he could clearly feel Xuan Tianming's unconcealed hatred. He believed that if he didn't still have a trace of rationality and if Princess Yu still had hope of survival, he would never doubt that the Ninth Prince would turn Tongcheng into Jiancheng and kill everyone here.
Tian Ping lowered his head and said, "Whether it is for the purpose of curing my daughter's illness or not, I will pray for Princess Yu and His Highness the Seventh Prince, and hope that they will return soon."
Since then, Dashun has taken over Tongcheng. The first thing it did after entering the city was to repair the city wall of the west gate. At the same time, the three gates in the east, south and north remained closed, and a five-mile minefield was blocked to prevent anyone from accidentally entering the city.
As for the hidden dangers left by Duanmu Anguo to Tongcheng, everyone from the prefect Tian Ping to the people of Tongcheng hated him and cursed him all day long, calling him a beast. Now Tongcheng is surrounded by minefields on three sides. If they are accidentally detonated, Tongcheng will be blown to pieces. But the mines have been buried and cannot be removed. Even Xuan Tianming has no way to deal with the three minefields.
But it was not a solution for the people to live in fear all day long. After thinking for many days, Xuan Tianming came up with a solution. He discussed with Tian Ping: "When Princess Yu comes back, ask her to take a look at the three minefields to see if there is any way to remove the mines buried underground. If there is really no way, then we can only let the people live there. Jiancheng is empty now, and Tongcheng can be temporarily moved to Jiancheng. If the people can accept living in a different city, we will allocate houses and fields in Jiancheng according to their original living conditions. If they don't want to leave their homeland, then even if it's temporary residence, we will detonate the three minefields after everyone has evacuated, and then rebuild the destroyed buildings, and then move the people back after the reconstruction."
Tian Ping had to admit that Xuan Tianming was very thoughtful. This was the best solution for now. Of course, no one wanted to leave their hometown, but if they didn't move, their lives would be in danger at any time. He was the prefect, and although he was appointed as the prefect by the Sui Dynasty, after Tongcheng was occupied by the Dashun Army, Xuan Tianming did not remove his official position and still let him live in the prefect's mansion to manage the affairs of this city. Tian Ping was grateful for this.
He promised Xuan Tianming: "I will communicate with the people and ask for their opinions. Don't worry, Your Highness, the people are not confused and will definitely cooperate."
After the matter was explained, Xuan Tianming felt relieved. He didn't want to bother with these matters anymore. He still had to focus most of his energy on finding Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua.
Therefore, the figure of the Ninth Prince Xuan Tianming could be seen outside the west gate of Tongcheng all day long. He searched in that open space with countless soldiers, searching for the whole day. Sometimes he didn't want to go back to the city at night, so he sat cross-legged at the place where Feng Yuheng disappeared, and sat there all night.
In a blink of an eye, seven days passed, and Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua still did not show up.
The soldiers were somewhat discouraged, and some wiped their tears while searching. They all thought that Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua would not come back. It had been seven days, and the minefield had exploded, and they had been seriously injured. How could they possibly survive seven days?
In fact, many people did not think that the two people were still alive from the beginning. But they did not dare to admit it, nor did they want to admit it. Not only did they not want to hurt Xuan Tianming's heart, but they themselves would never believe that Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua were dead. Those two, one was the immortal Seventh Prince, and the other was the fairy Princess Yu. They had a deep relationship with each other. As long as there was a little hope, everyone would try their best to find them, and would never want to miss a single chance.
But now there is nothing left. What could be left after such a large-scale explosion? Even the corners of clothes might have been burned to ashes. How could there be anyone left?
More and more soldiers began to cry, crying as they searched. Gradually, the crying became contagious, and everyone who was searching in the minefield started crying too.
The cries of tens of thousands of people spread, reached Tongcheng, and reached the ears of every Tongcheng citizen.
So, the people of Tongcheng were also sad.
In this sad atmosphere, Tongcheng began to migrate. Tian Ping led a group of soldiers who were originally stationed in Tongcheng and led the people from the west gate to the direction of the city. When they passed the minefield, everyone stopped rushing forward and joined the search team around the minefield and began to look for people carefully.
He Gan followed Xuan Tianming, gritting his teeth. He did not join the soldiers' grief, and suppressed the urge to cry in his heart. Like Xuan Tianming, he firmly believed that Feng Yuheng and Xuan Tianhua were not dead. Xuan Tianming told him: "Don't cry. If we all cry, Ah Heng will never come back." Just for this sentence, He Gan said that even if he dug out his eyes, he would never shed a tear.
The sadness of Tongcheng spread thousands of miles away. In Ji'an County, Princess Ji'an's younger sister, Feng Xiangrong, the third daughter of the Feng family, had been seriously ill for many days. Now she was lying on the bed and could hardly open her eyes.
She fell ill suddenly. One night many days ago, she said she was upset and couldn't sleep, so she asked her maid to make a pot of tea and bring it to the yard. Before she could drink it, she suddenly vomited blood.
The maidservant who served her was terrified and quickly called for help. Xiangrong suddenly vomited blood, which alarmed the whole mansion. Even Concubine Yun, who had been holding her breath and didn't want to talk to her, came after hearing the news. An cried and ordered people to quickly invite the doctor from Baicaotang. Although it was night, Feng Yuheng's sister was in trouble. Even if the doctors had already gone to bed, they got up in a hurry. Five doctors came to see her at once, but no one could explain her illness.
Finally, a doctor who was recognized as the best doctor in Yuzhou and Ji'an County told An the truth. He said, "Miss Third doesn't look sick. Although she vomited blood, all her signs are good and there is nothing unusual. Her pulse is normal, and it is also normal when she listens to the stethoscope given by the princess. She is not hot or feverish, and even her complexion is rosy and glowing. So, this is not a disease at all."
An didn't understand. If it wasn't a disease, why did Xiangrong suddenly vomit blood? Not only did she vomit blood, but she wasn't conscious anymore. She was confused and seemed to be mumbling, but she couldn't hear clearly what she was saying.
This situation continued for many days until the Fourth Prince Xuan Tianyi could no longer bear it and sent a letter to the East Realm by flying eagle, asking his people to find Feng Yuheng there. Concubine Yun then suddenly spoke and said, "I seem to understand what the Third Girl is mumbling." She looked at Feng Xiangrong and listened carefully for a while before saying, "She seems to be talking about... the Seventh Prince."
After Concubine Jing Yun reminded people of this, they could really make some connections with the three words "Seventh Prince". Feng Xiangrong kept repeating the three words "Seventh Prince". Xuan Tianyi was so angry that he said she was suffering from lovesickness. It was not a disease, but lovesickness syndrome.
Mrs. An looked at her daughter lying on the sickbed, tears streaming down her face. She couldn't help but say what she had kept in her heart all this time, "If you couldn't let go, why did you refuse the marriage in the first place? Your mother had already promised you, so why didn't you get married? Child, what happened? Why do you have to embarrass yourself like this?"
Concubine Yun looked at the mother and daughter, and listened to Xiangrong's constant mumbling. She could no longer control the irritability that she had been suppressing in her heart. She stood up suddenly and loudly ordered Ban Zou who had been following her: "Pack your things, I want to go back to the capital!"
People didn't understand why Concubine Yun wanted to return to Beijing at this time, but she was the master, so who dared to ask more questions? An thought, Concubine Yun still blamed Xiangrong! So she didn't want to see Xiangrong again.
But no one knew that on the night when Xiangrong suddenly vomited blood, Concubine Yun suddenly woke up from her sleep, sweating and panicking. She knew something must have happened, especially when Xiangrong kept mumbling "Seventh Prince, Seventh Prince", her heart ached as if someone was twisting it hard with their hands. She couldn't stay in Ji'an County anymore, as there was no news here. She had to go back to Beijing. Only by returning to Kyoto could she get the news from the East Territory most conveniently.
Concubine Yun returned to the capital, and Xiangrong fell ill. Xuan Tianming led the army to search for her day and night... At this time, in a pharmacy space of an unknown dimension, a woman slowly woke up from the chaos...
