Fighting Spirit Coming From the Ruler of Qian Zhou

Inside the city, all of the citizens gathered in one place. Using all of their strength, they shouted as loudly as possible: “We can do it!”

The people then stopped ramming themselves against the gate then took a few steps back to stare at the gate. This sort of order caused the soldiers protecting the city to feel shocked.

It was unclear which soldier took the lead, throwing down their weapon and standing in the crowd of civilians. With someone taking the lead, the rest followed, casting aside their weapons and mingling in with the crowd. Casting a look of disappointment in the direction of Qian Zhou’s imperial palace, they retracted their gazes and turned toward the gate.

The heavenly sound that came from the outside spoke once more; however, it loudly shouted: “Everyone, step back!”

Everyone took many steps back to look at the city gate from a great distance. Not long later, they heard a heaven-shaking sound come from the gate. After the avalanche, the gates of Qian Zhou’s capital were in a poor condition. With the someone ramming it from the outside, the gates were broken with a “boom!”

After the heaven-shaking sound, there was a deathly silence. The soldiers outside the city did not enter, only separating to two sides after breaking down the gate to stand in two orderly lines. The citizens in the city looked over nervously. After all, Da Shun was still the enemy army to them. After the city’s gate was broken, would they treat them well or simply exterminate them all. They were both possibilities.

For a moment, it was as though everyone was participating in a gamble. Whether it was a victory or a loss would depend on the heavens.

Just as everyone was in a nervous daze from seeing the groups of soldiers, they saw the steam coming from the large pots. There were people stirring them with large ladles and smiling toward the city. The fragrance drifted over and invaded their senses once more.

Qian Li took the initiative to step forward. Standing in front of the city’s gates, he loudly said to the citizens: “My Da Shun’s promise and good faith had already been said to you by his Highness Prince Yu. Right now, everyone should line up properly. The elderly and children should be at the front. The women and the sick should be in the middle with the men at the back. After getting settled, slowly follow this general out. There are congee and soup outside. There are also eggs, and everyone has a portion.”

Qian Li’s words caused everyone’s eyes to light up. There would not just be congee and soup. There would also be eggs. Eggs were things that people were unable to eat even if there was no avalanche!

The citizens followed Qian Li out of the city and began to line up for food. On the other side, Xuan Tian Ming and Feng Yu Heng led the army into the city. Roughly 30 percent of the soldiers went to rescue those affected by the disaster. Another 30 percent of the soldiers began to face off against the imperial family of Qian Zhou in a show of force. Prince Lian’s 100 thousand soldiers were led to the Feng family’s lair by Prince Lian and General Hei. There, the people from the imperial family were forced out of the imperial palace, one by one.

Feng Yu Heng stood before the ruined palace and watched the members of the imperial family be led out, repeatedly shaking her head. “There are definitely more than this.”

Prince Lian nodded, “Of course, there are still some living in their palaces. Ya Ya, don’t worry. I have already sent people to capture them. I guarantee that they will all be sent to you.”

“Where’s their emperor?” Feng Yu Heng looked at the group and found that none of them looked like it. “I heard that Qian Zhou’s ruler looks like a weak scholar. Say, where would he be hiding?”
