above the galaxy

Chapter 455 The water thrown out by the married daughter!
"You can't save it? How could you not save it?"

"Yes, you are a saint, what disease can't you cure?"

"Saintess, can you think of a solution? Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

"We know that the saint woman is kind and has a good heart. There is no disease that the saint woman cannot cure."

Lei Zongnan walked up to An Ning and asked in a friendly manner, "Has the Saint tried it?"

Faced with such natural and man-made disasters, these rough people were helpless and could only rely on the magic water and medicine bestowed by the saint.

"I tried." An Ning's voice was tired, and her beautiful eyes were filled with sadness: "After I received the order from the president, I rushed to Wang Sanguang's house as soon as possible."

"As soon as I arrived, Wang Sanguang's family members began to fall ill, convulsing all over and foaming at the mouth. I gave them magic water to drink, dragon blood tree juice, acupuncture and talismans."

"It's a pity that they died too quickly. This virus is so fierce."

"One, two, three. I rushed to each household and treated them one by one."

“Not a single one was saved.”
-
Everyone was horrified to hear this.

They heard several important messages from An Ning's words.

First, the virus is very fierce and even the Saint cannot solve it.

Save one and one dies. It's the same as no rescue.

Second, the disease develops rapidly and death occurs within minutes.

You don't even have time to solve the problem.

Third, the disease is spread not only through eating dog meat, but also through other channels.

Air or water source.

This is the most terrible.

Chen Dayou had clearly never eaten dog meat, but he still died while being imprisoned in the shrine prison.

These black robes don't care about the lives of those below.

No one knows how much burning, killing and looting they have done. They are even more brutal than those predators.

Predators would hide away from the Flame Shrine people, firstly because the Flame Shrine people were so numerous and powerful, and secondly because their eating habits were too ugly to be seen.
Although the predators themselves are not good people either.

Isn't it natural for bad people to do bad things?
You are good people. You claim to be good people. You are the only hope in the end times.

You do bad things in the name of lighting a bonfire to drive away the darkness. You are even worse than the bad guys. Isn't this being both a hypocrite and a traitor?

But they are afraid that something might happen to themselves and their families.

They are all high-ranking members of the shrine, and their wives, children and lovers all live near the shrine.

If this plague spreads on a large scale, won't they also suffer?

Besides, their subordinates are all dead, and the Lingyang branch of the Flame Shrine no longer exists. What kind of leaders are they? Who else can they lead?

Everyone in the village knows that they should sprinkle a layer of grass ash on the leeks after cutting them, so that the leeks can rest and grow more luxuriantly.

How could they not understand this?

Lei Zongnan was also panicked.

Because he met Lei Hu, Mr. Yan who had just had contact with Chen Dayou, the black robes in front of him, and the Saint
He wasn't even sure if he was infected.

They knew nothing about it and had no symptoms before the onset of the disease.

How can this be good?

Lei Zongnan looked at An Ning anxiously and asked, "Is there really no other solution?"

"I'm sorry, President. It's my fault. I really can't do anything about it." An Ning apologized sincerely.

Lei Zongnan quickly waved his hands and consoled her: "Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and calamities sent down by the gods, how can you blame the Saint Girl?"

"Can the Saint think of another way? No matter what, we have to save these sisters and brothers in the society."

"I will." An Ning nodded and said, "I'll check the body again to see if I can find any effective solution. It's just such a pity."

"What's a pity?"

"Unfortunately, we don't have blood testing equipment and can't test the blood. If there is a blood test report, I can prescribe the right medicine and find a solution faster."

Lei Zongnan frowned and said, "Where do we have a blood tester here? Maybe there are a few at the shrine headquarters, but they are too far away.
"I will ask the headquarters for help and have someone send the blood over for testing, but this will take time. Whether we can hold out for that time is the biggest problem."

"Now we can only do our best and leave the rest to fate." An Ning said in a deep voice, with a very pessimistic attitude.

An Ning is a doctor, and she has no confidence, let alone other people.

"May the God of Fire protect you!" Lei Zongnan said.

"May the God of Fire protect you!"

Others also placed their hopes on the Fire God.

Even though they knew better than anyone that the Fire God did not exist.

Behind the black veil that they couldn't see, there was a sarcastic smile at the corner of An Ning's mouth.

This is just the beginning.

Is it a sin?
Then let me go to hell.

if so.
-
An Ning didn't sleep all night.

As soon as the sky was getting light, she walked into the shrine to meet the president Lei Zongnan.

Lei Zongnan got up from the bed, put on his clothes with the help of the maid, and came to the reception room. He asked anxiously: "Saint Lady, you came so early, is there any good news?"

"No." An Ning shook his head, his eyes bloodshot, and said in a hoarse voice: "Although we have blocked the source and sealed off the families who first ate dog meat, the plague is not under control."

"We have been able to confirm that this is a vicious virus that can be spread through the air. As the number of infected people increases, it becomes increasingly difficult to control."

"So far, a total of 127 people have fallen ill and died, and there is no cure."

"What should I do?" Lei Zongnan looked extremely embarrassed.

If we can't come up with a solution in time, I'm afraid the people below will flee in all directions.

Who would still be willing to believe in the God of Fire when they can’t even save their own lives?
If this continues, it will cause huge turmoil and affect the foundation of the Lingyang branch.

"President, we must get the blood test report and prescribe the right medicine."

"I've sent the blood to the shrine headquarters, but it won't be back for a while."

"Seek help nearby." An Ning said.

"Nearby? Who can I ask for help?"

"Hate those people in the mountain."

"Hanshan? Those who came from Xinxing?" Lei Zongnan's eyes were slightly stern, and he looked at An Ning thoughtfully.

He sensed danger and needed to think about whether there was a deeper message hidden in this.

When those new stars came, the virus came.
Do they have anything to do with the virus?

An Ning said that she couldn't solve the virus and wanted to ask for help from those new stars. What is the connection between them?
What do they want to do?
Coming for my Flame Shrine?
"Does the Saint know those new stars?" Lei Zongnan stared at An Ning's eyes, not missing any subtle changes.

"I know him." An Ning was calm and fearless.

Blue Star is so big, but Bandit Tang chose to build his base in Hate Mountain.

It is well known that I also came from the Hate Mountain area.

If you say you don't know him, then you are treating Lei Zongnan as a fool.

An Ning knew that Lei Zongnan was not a fool.

"friend?"

"If they were friends, I would go to Xinxing with them," An Ning said.

"who are they?"

"Tang Fei." An Ning said, "The one who was picked up by Princess Xinxing."

The story of Bandit Tang and Princess Xinxing was widely circulated, and even other regions knew about it.

After all, the fleet that came to greet the Phoenix was very powerful, and countless people witnessed it on the scene.

In this old land where spiritual life is very barren and life is extremely boring, there is a story about a "princess" and a hunter.
Everyone still likes to listen to it very much.

This incident happened in the area managed by Lei Zongnan, so he had naturally heard of this story.

"Oh." Lei Zongnan nodded and asked, "Since he has been taken away by the princess on the new star, why did he come back?"

"I don't know." An Ning shook her head. "I don't care what he came back for. It has nothing to do with me."

"Do you think he'll be willing to step up and help us?"

"I don't know, but I'm willing to try." An Ning said, "If there is no other choice."

Lei Zongnan pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about it."

"Yes." An Ning nodded and said, "President, please draw a conclusion as soon as possible. The virus cannot wait."

"I see."

Lei Zongnan looked at An Ning's back as she left and asked in a deep voice, "Mr. Yan, what do you think?"

Mr. Yan had stood in the shadowy corner of the room without knowing when, and said aloud, "It smells very much like a conspiracy."

"How to say?"

"This virus came too strangely and too cleverly."

"Yeah, I think so too." Lei Zongnan sat down on the sofa and took a long puff from the hookah on the table. "What do you think they want? They don't want to be the new star prince consort, but run to this remote place to compete with a bunch of savages like us?"

“You’ll only know after you come into contact with them.”

"You mean to get in touch with them?"

"Do we have a better choice?" Mr. Yan asked back.

Lei Zongnan remained silent.

People are knives and servants, and I am fish and meat.

Regardless of whether this virus has anything to do with them, they are the ones who need help now.
"Let An Ning go meet Tang Fei. I want to talk to him."

"An Ning must also be on guard." Mr. Yan reminded.

"An Ning doesn't need to worry. She is a powerless woman. We can make her disappear from this world at any time if we want."

"What if she sides with those Nova people?"

"That's our mortal enemy." Lei Zongnan puffed on his hookah, "On the premise that they help us solve the plague problem first."

Mr. Yan looked worried.

Compared with those rising stars, they have too few cards to play.

A plague would make it difficult for them to cope.

For these people, coming to the old land is a dimensionality reduction attack.

It's really frustrating.
-
"Lei Zongnan? Did he ask you to invite me?" Tang Fei asked, looking at An Ning who was sitting opposite him.

Unlike the last time they met, this time An Ning came to visit openly as the Holy Maiden of the Flame Shrine.

"Yes, he wants to talk to you." An Ning nodded.

She was very happy to see Tang Fei again.

And even happier than last time.

Because she saw the changes in Hate Mountain and saw the solidity of the base.

And the powerful ghosts guarding Tang Fei.

My brother has gained a lot in the past few years since he went to Xinxing.

Tang Fei’s strength is also her strength.

This gave her hope of success.

Although she didn't know what her brother wanted.

"What to talk about?"

"There's a plague at the Flame Shrine, and they want you to lend a hand to help." An Ning said calmly. "Plague?" Tang Fei looked at An Ning in surprise.

The last time we met, she said she wanted to give me the Flame Shrine and that she was already prepared for it.

Was this part of her preparation?

"Yes, it is our misfortune that the disaster came from heaven."

Tang Fei quickly weighed the gains and losses of this incident, as well as the final outcome, in his mind.

Now that the old man is not around, I have to find solutions to many problems myself.

Another day of missing the old man.

"Okay, I'll go see him." Tang Fei said.

"It's settled then. I'll be waiting for brother in the shrine." An Ning narrowed her beautiful eyes.

She hadn't slept for a day and a night, and was extremely tired.

However, the moment he saw Tang Fei, all the physical and mental fatigue disappeared.

He even felt that he could fight for another 300 rounds.

"Is there anything you need to tell me?" Tang Fei looked at An Ning's smiling eyes and started smiling too.

"If we can talk, then talk. If we can't talk, then kill him." The smile in An Ning's eyes remained unchanged, but the words he spoke were full of murderous intent.

Seeing Tang Fei's hesitation, An Ning smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, brother. We are ready. We have the ability to take over the Lingyang District."

Tang Fei nodded and said, "I know what to do."

"Then I'll go back first." An Ning stood up and said.

"I'll see you off." Tang Fei also stood up.

Just as he reached the gate of the yard, he bumped into Zhong Tianyi who was walking towards him.

Tang Fei took the initiative to greet him and asked with a smile: "Where are you going, Your Highness?"

"I was just about to come and talk to you about something." Zhong Tianyi's eyes fell on An Ning, who was wearing a black gauze and black robe, and asked, "Who is this?"

"The Holy Lady An Ning of the Flame Shrine." Tang Fei introduced her briefly without explaining the true relationship between him and An Ning.

"Oh, Lady Saint." Zhong Tianyi nodded to An Ning.

In the past, there would have been no such thing as a saint in his eyes.

What is the difference between a saint on the blue planet and a rich man among beggars?
However, after returning to his old homeland, he gradually faced the reality.

The situation is worse than people, so we must bear the humiliation and unite all the forces that can be united
Who knows which piece of barren soil will produce beautiful flowers?
"Your Highness, please come in and wait for a moment. I'll see the guest off." Tang Fei said.

"Don't worry, don't worry. You guys go ahead and do your work. I'll wait for you at the door for a while." Zhong Tianyi smiled brightly.

When Tang Fei came back after sending An Ning away, he invited Zhong Tianyi, who was standing at the door, to come in for tea and asked, "Your Highness, are you used to living here?"

Zhong Tianyi smiled bitterly, looked at Tang Fei and asked, "Do you want to hear me tell the truth or a lie?"

Tang Fei laughed and said, "I know, the conditions here are terrible. It can't be compared with Nova, let alone Phoenix Palace."

When the Phoenix Palace was mentioned, the smiles on Tang Fei and Zhong Tianyi's faces froze.

The Phoenix Palace was flattened by artillery shells from the Shen army.

No, a big black pit was left on the original site.

I heard that the area several miles around the big pit is now cordoned off, and no one is allowed to approach the location of the black hole.

What made Tang Fei sad was that it was his first stop after he went to Xinxing.

It was the arena where he battled with Zhong Daolong and Yan Wenli in wits and courage, and it was also the witness of the love between him and Fenghuang and the friendship between him and Sheng Xinhuai.
It was an important journey in his life.

It just disappeared.

Zhong Tianyi was heartbroken.

That was his home and the symbol of their royal family, the Zhong family.

He was born and raised there, and was extremely familiar with every tree and blade of grass there, and had a lot of affection for it.

He spent the first half of his life in Phoenix Palace, crying for the first time, taking his first bite of milk, wetting the bed for the first time, and achieving the great harmony of life for the first time.
Now, the Phoenix Palace is gone.

It was as if a piece of my body and memory was missing, and the existing part had nowhere to rest.

"We will go back." Tang Fei understood Zhong Tianyi's inner feelings at this moment and comforted him, "I will help you rebuild the Phoenix Palace."

"Thank you." Zhong Tianyi thanked him with a bitter smile, looked at Tang Fei and said, "To be honest, the environment here is very bad, it's far from being comparable to Xinxing."

"But I can accept all of this and never think it's a problem."

"I just want to confirm one thing. What is our next plan? When will we return to Nova?"

"You should be aware of the influence of the Shen family on Nova. If we can't counterattack as soon as possible, we will have to wait until they complete the real unification of the empire..."

"At that time, we will have no hope at all. Not only will Xinxing not be able to return, but based on my understanding of Shen Wuxiang, they will definitely counterattack us."

"In the worst case scenario, they would destroy the entire planet. There is nothing or anyone they care about here."

"What you think is exactly what I've been worried about." Tang Fei looked at Zhong Tianyi's bloodshot eyes and said, "However, it is impossible for the Shen family to achieve true imperial unification in a short period of time."

"They used bloody means to forcibly seize power. It is difficult to gain public support. Of course, they can use brutal means to force all sectors of society to applaud and support them, but they will eventually lose the support of the people."

"The Qin family retreated to the Zhaoling base, with hundreds of thousands of troops armed to the teeth by the Lu family, they can attack or defend. With just this, the Shen family will not be able to deal with it in a short time."

"The Lu family is heading to the desolate land. Although the land there is vast and sparsely populated, with the Lu family's mechanical technology and ability to equip equipment, they want to equip two mecha legions. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"The Imperial Guards and Fengwu Army are only loyal to the Zhong royal family. Although they are infiltrated like a sieve, the temperament of the army and the middle and upper-level leaders are all promoted by the royal family. Even if they are purged, can they kill everyone?"

"Other forces are watching closely, and no one wants to see an unprecedentedly powerful Shen family take the position of the empire's leader. As long as there is a chance, they don't mind stabbing him in the back."

"It can be said that the Shen family is facing internal and external troubles at this time, and it is very difficult for them to sort out military and political affairs, let alone unify the empire."

Hearing that Tang Fei was so familiar with the affairs of the empire and made a well-reasoned analysis, Zhong Tianyi felt both happy and worried.

The good news is that Tang Fei is very concerned about the affairs of Xinxing, and he is not discouraged by the temporary failure. He seems to have great confidence in winning.

What worries me is that, if he cares so much, will he still be willing to hand over power after he truly counterattacks and returns to Nova?

I'm afraid I won't even have the chance to be a puppet emperor?
"It seems that Brother Tang is confident. I feel relieved too." Zhong Tianyi praised.

He is older than Tang Fei, but he takes the initiative to call Tang Fei "brother"
When life is not going as you wish, take out your penis and stare at it, and contemplate the spirit it contains: it can be long or short, thick or thin, and can bend or stretch.
He has been doing this kind of thing a lot recently.

Mainly because I have nothing to do.

"I will do my best and die for your Highness."

Zhong Tianyi stretched out his hand and held Tang Fei's arm, saying: "Don't say such unlucky words. We two brothers should rule the world together and share the glory and wealth of the world."

"That's right." Tang Fei said with a smile.

I thought, who would dare to be your brother?
You almost killed your own brother, let alone this fake brother of mine.

After saying goodbye to Tang Fei, Zhong Tianyi hesitated for a moment and walked to the courtyard where Fenghuang lived next door.

The base gave special care to these important figures of the Zhong royal family.

Each of them was given an independent courtyard. One reason was that they had many servants around them, so even if they were stranded here, they would still have many people following them. Another reason was for safety and privacy. It would be very uncomfortable for them to live together with the doctors and guards who had fled from the Phoenix Palace.

When the maid opened the door and saw that it was Zhong Tianyi, she immediately bowed and said, "Your Highness."

"Yeah." Zhong Tianyi nodded.

"What are you doing here?" Fenghuang asked with a frosty face while standing under the eaves.

After the night of the shocking incident in Phoenix Palace, Phoenix never called his two brothers "brothers" again.

Someone who could shoot his own father.
Such a person is not worthy of being her brother.

Although the two lived very close to each other, they had no contact with each other, as if they had become strangers.

Zhong Tianyi was not angry either. He knew that his sister was extremely disgusted with him, or even hated him.

Still with a smile on his face, he said, "I have something very important to discuss with you."

"There is nothing to discuss between you and me."

"Family and national affairs."

"Those are things between you men. What do they have to do with me?"

"This is the Zhong family's business. Aren't you a member of the Zhong family?"

Phoenix remained silent.

She could deny her brother, but she couldn't say that she was not a member of the Zhong family.

Zhong Tianyi turned around, closed the gate, and walked straight into the inner room.

Phoenix hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Zhong Tianyi didn't need anyone to entertain him, so he found a chair and sat down.

He looked at Fenghuang standing in front of him and asked, "How are you and Tang Fei doing?"

"What do you mean?" Fenghuang stared at Zhong Tianyi and asked.

"Although neither of you want to admit it, I know that you and Tang Fei are in love. I just want to ask, how far have you two progressed now?"

"What does it have to do with you where we are?" Phoenix said impatiently.

"Of course it has something to do with me. Not only with me, but also with the Zhong family and the Phoenix Empire." Zhong Tianyi looked at Phoenix and said, "You can see that Bandit Tang is our only hope to restore our country and seize power. Only if he supports us wholeheartedly can we have hope of success."

Phoenix showed a mocking look on her face and said, "So, you just want to send your sister away?"

"This isn't a gift, this is a perfect match. What's more, you already have a deep relationship, so you can say you're killing two birds with one stone."

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Phoenix said with a cold face.

The smile on Zhong Tianyi's face also disappeared. He looked at Fenghuang and asked, "What do you mean? Did you break up?"

Phoenix was silent again.

She also found it difficult to define the relationship between her and Tang Fei, but she was very sure that she liked Tang Fei.

This was the first boy she liked in her life, her first love.

However, what has happened in recent times has pushed them further and further apart.

The truth was too cruel and the scars were too ugly for her to bear to reveal them.

"If it's possible, I don't want to talk to you about these things." Zhong Tianyi said sadly, looking down at the muddy military boots on his feet: "But, I have no choice."

"You also know our current situation, and you should know my current situation even more."

"Tang Fei doesn't like me. If he has the chance, he will sacrifice me without hesitation. I am very sure of this."

"You brought this upon yourself," Phoenix cursed harshly.

If you were not greedy and willing to be driven by others, how could you have fallen to this point?
Perhaps, the royal family would not collapse, my father would not be captured, and the empire would not fall apart and become what it is today.

"Yes, I did bring this upon myself, and I don't deserve to die." Zhong Tianyi did not deny it, and took the initiative to echo Fenghuang's curse: "But now that things have come to this, we have to find a way to make amends."

"The Phoenix Empire is our Phoenix Empire, the Phoenix Empire of the Zhong family. It cannot be taken away by the Shen family, nor by the Tang family, nor by any family. It belongs to our Zhong family, and it always will."

"This is the hard work of the Zhong family for hundreds of years. If it is lost in our hands, we will be ashamed of our ancestors even if we die."

"If you get together with Bandit Tang, get married and have children, then he will be able to fully support our Zhong family to regain power."

"You just want me to influence Tang Fei's decision and help you regain the position of leader?" Fenghuang understood what Zhong Tianyi meant.

"It's not just helping me, it's also helping you, helping us and the entire Zhong family."

"Have you heard the old saying in the old land?"

"what?"

"Water thrown away by a married daughter."

"."

"Let's not talk about the fact that Tang Fei and I have no relationship now." Fenghuang looked down at Zhong Tianyi's drooping head and said contemptuously: "Even if it's like what you said, we can really get together, get married and have children..."

"At that time, Tang Fei and the child were my family. Why should I help you?"

"."
