The ground beneath his feet trembled, and the antique vases in the house fell to the ground one by one and shattered. Xiahou Jun lived very close to the government office, and the explosion caused his ears to buzz so much that he almost thought he was going deaf.
Xiahou Jun leaned against the wall and shook his head to clear his mind. Then he shouted, "What happened? What's that sound? Is it a cannon?"
Before he finished speaking, someone came running in, covered in dust and dirt, and reported anxiously, "Sir, something is wrong, sir!"
"Hurry up and tell me!"
The visitor swallowed and said, "There have been sudden explosions near the government office, and we have suffered heavy casualties, sir!"
It was noon, the time when the patrol team of Tianshu Tower was changing shifts and taking a break. Everyone gathered in the government office to eat and prepare for the handover. Unexpectedly, there was an explosion from the other side of the wall. Those who were unlucky died on the spot.
Xiahou Jun thought to himself, "That noise just now sounded like artillery fire. Didn't the South Vietnamese say that those three cannons were broken and they wouldn't be able to produce new ones for a while? Was it Qingliang Valley or Beimo?"
"Did someone attack with artillery? Why did the government office suddenly explode?"
The visitor added, "I don't know. It just exploded suddenly from the government wall, and we didn't react at all. The brothers were worried about more explosions, so they didn't dare to rush forward to check. The city is in chaos now."
Xiahou Chun said that if there was chaos, then they should quell it. This explosion was definitely intentional, and the location was chosen at the government office. If those zombies were exposed to the people, then the image of loyalty and righteousness that Xiahou Qing had worked so hard to build would be completely ruined.
If this matter is not handled well, Xiahou Qing will have to kill him: "Hurry up and get those stupid people out of here. The things under the government office must not be known to the people of Liang. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I'll do it right away!"
Xiahou Jun took off his dusty coat, changed into clean clothes, grabbed a strange bone flute and his sword, and rushed towards the government office. "If I don't take action, do you think I'm a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others? When I find out who has been secretly trying to trip me up, I will definitely let him taste the interrogation methods of my Tianshu Tower!"
When Xiahou Jun arrived at the scene, there was chaos around the government office because of the explosion. In addition, some residents who were not near the government office heard the explosion and ran from all directions to watch the excitement as if they were risking their lives. Soon, several streets around the government office were blocked by people.
It was at this time that Xiahou Jun truly felt the population of Qinghe County, a once prosperous place.
The people maintaining order saw Xiahou Jun finally arrive and hurried over to greet him, saying, "Sir, the situation is getting out of control. What should we do?"
Xiahou Jun and the man went up to the roof of the government office together to take a look at the current situation. His face darkened and he immediately ordered, "Close the city gates. If you all still want to live, what happened today must not be spread outside the city."
In the past, Xiahou Jun had simply followed Xiahou Qing, bowing and scraping, always with a playful smile on his face. Today, he appeared to be a commanding general, remaining calm and composed, surprising everyone present at Tianshu Tower. For a moment, they even thought Xiahou Jun could perfectly handle today's emergency.
"……yes!"
I don't know if it was luck or if Prajna had really predicted something. Meanwhile, in the northwest courtyard of the town outside Zhiyoulin, Huangfu Bin anxiously waited for the time to pass. Although he tried hard to remain calm, the shaking chessboard exposed his current mood.
After slowly placing the chess piece in her hand back into the box, Prajna said, "Stop shaking. I think it's about time. Go and do your own thing."
"Thank you, senior. Thank you, senior!"
After saying that, Huangfu Bin stood up and rushed into the inner room. Huangfu Xiong had already prepared everything he needed and was just waiting for Huangfu Bin to come. He didn't know why Huangfu Bin trusted that kid so much. He had waited until now even though he had said he would arrive at noon today.
Huangfu Xiong saw that Huangfu Bin would not suddenly ask to wait again this time, so he confirmed again: "Father, are we really going to start now? Are we really not going to wait for news?"
Huangfu Bin nodded and said, "This senior is a hermit master. I trust him. Let's get started. Although I don't know if I can kill the Shengxi Gu, I think it should be no problem to cause damage to it. Let's see how much damage we can do. If we're lucky, maybe we can go home soon."
...When Lin Feng was helping Shi Zairong in the study to deal with the memorial filled with trivial matters, his eyes were fixed on it. He suddenly ran out and bent down, almost vomiting out the overnight meal.
The two men straightened up and said to each other in unison: "Do you smell something disgusting?"
Lin Feng covered his nose and looked at the purple-black smoke rising from the northwest courtyard. He said, "Are they doing something? It's just a small insect, how can it have such a terrible smell?"
After seeing the movement in the northwest courtyard, Shi Zairong seemed to suddenly remember something. He turned around and rushed into the house. He found a square box under the desk, which contained a number of small porcelain bottles.
Shi Zairong bent down and poured out the teardrop-sized pills from the small porcelain bottle and gave one to Lin Feng. He also took one himself. Seeing that Lin Feng was holding the pill and looking at him motionlessly, he urged, "Take this."
"What's this?"
Shi Zairong explained, "I actually forgot about the pills Huangfu Xiong gave me earlier. You take this first. I have to have people distribute it quickly."
After Lin Feng swallowed the medicine, he saw Shi Zairong's hurried look and followed him without caring about anything else: "Is this thing serious?"
"Sure." This pill was given to him by Huangfu Xiong earlier, who said it would temporarily block out the nauseating odors caused by the Shengxi Gu's injuries. Shi Zairong had seen many people with pregnancy reactions before, constantly nauseous and wanting to vomit. It seemed very uncomfortable, so this medicine must be very important to everyone right now.
After hearing what Shi Zairong said, Lin Feng hurriedly said, "I'll help too!"
Shi Zairong did not reject his kindness, but only reminded him: "Cover your face. There are undercover agents from Tianshu Tower in the camp. Follow behind me and don't make any noise."
