Above the stars

"You can't save him? How can you not save him?"

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

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

"We know that the saint is kind and kind-hearted, and there is no disease that the saint can't cure."

Lei Zongnan walked up to An Ning and asked in a friendly manner: "Have you tried it, saint?"

Faced with such natural disasters and man-made disasters, these rough people are helpless and can only rely on the saint to give them magic water and medicine.

"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 began to fall ill, convulsing all over, foaming at the mouth. I gave them magic water, dragon blood tree juice, acupuncture and talismans."

"Unfortunately, they died too quickly. This virus is too fierce."

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

"Not one was saved, not one."

--

Everyone was horrified.

From An Ning's words, they heard several important information.

First, the virus is very fierce, and the saint can't solve it.

Save one, die one. It's the same as no rescue.

Second, the disease is very rapid, and death will occur within a few minutes.

There is no time to solve the problem at all.

Third, the transmission method is not only eating dog meat, but also other channels.

Air or water source.

This is the most terrifying.

That Chen Dayou had never eaten dog meat, but he died in the prison of the shrine.

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

They didn't know how many things they had done, such as burning, killing and looting, and they were even more brutal than those predators.

Predators would hide when they saw people from the Flame Shrine, firstly because the Flame Shrine had a large number of people, and secondly because their eating habits were too ugly.

Although the predators themselves were not good people.

Isn't it natural for bad people to do bad things?

You are good people, you claim to be good people, and you are the only hope for the end of the world.

You do bad things in the name of lighting a bonfire to drive away the darkness, which is worse than bad people. Isn't this a double-edged sword?

However, they are afraid that something will happen to themselves and their families.

They are all high-ranking officials 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, all the younger brothers below them are dead, and the Lingyang branch of the Flame Shrine no longer exists. What kind of leaders are they? Who else can they lead?

The Zhuang family knows that after cutting the leeks, they sprinkle a layer of grass ash on them, so that the leeks can recuperate and grow more luxuriantly.

How could they not understand this truth?

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 was not sure whether he was infected.

They knew nothing about this thing, and there were no symptoms before the onset of the disease.

What should we do?

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

"I'm sorry, President, I failed in my duty, I really can't do anything." An Ning apologized sincerely.

Lei Zongnan waved his hand and tried to comfort them: "Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and the calamities sent by the gods, how can you blame the saint?"

"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 will check the bodies again to see if I can find any effective solutions. It's just a pity."

"What a pity?"

"It's a pity that 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 the distance is too far.

"I will ask the headquarters for help and ask them to send the blood over to ask them to help test it, but it takes time. Whether we can hold on for that time is the biggest problem. "

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

An Ning is a doctor, she has no confidence, and the others are even more uncertain.

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

"May the God of Fire protect you!"

Others also put their hopes on the God of Fire.

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

Behind the black veil that they could not see, An Ning had a sarcastic smile on her lips.

This is just the beginning.

Is it a sin?

Then let me go to hell.

If there is.

——

An Ning did not sleep all night.

As soon as it was dawn, she walked into the shrine to see 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, and asked anxiously: "Saint girl came so early, is there any good news?"

"No." An Ning shook her head, her eyes were bloodshot, and she said hoarsely: "Although we have blocked the source and blocked the families who ate dog meat first, the plague has not been controlled. "

"We have confirmed that this is a malignant virus that can be spread through the air. The number of infected people is increasing and it is becoming more and more difficult to control."

"Up to now, a total of 127 people have fallen ill and died. There is no cure."

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

If we can't come up with a countermeasure in time, I'm afraid the people below will have to flee everywhere.

Who would be willing to believe in the God of Fire if they can't even save their lives?

If it continues, it will cause great turmoil and affect the foundation of the Lingyang branch.

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

"I have asked someone to send the blood to the shrine headquarters, but it won't be back for a while."

"Seek help nearby." An Ning said.

"Nearby? Who to ask for help?"

"Those people from Hate Mountain."

"Hate Mountain? Those who came from Nova?" Lei Zongnan looked at An Ning thoughtfully with a stern look in his eyes.

He felt the danger, and he needed to think about whether there was a deeper message hidden in it.

Those new star people came, and the virus came.

Are they related to the virus?

An Ning said that she couldn't solve the virus and wanted to ask those new star people for help. What is the connection between them?

What exactly do they want to do?

Coming to my Flame Shrine?

"Does the Saint know those new star people?" Lei Zongnan stared at An Ning's eyes, not missing any subtle changes.

"I know them." An Ning was fearless.

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

And I also came out of the Hate Mountain area, which is a well-known fact.

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

An Ning knows that Lei Zongnan is not a fool.

"Friends?"

"If they are friends, I will go to Nova with them." An Ning said.

"Who are they?"

"Tang Fei." An Ning said: "The one who was taken away by Princess Nova."

The story of Tang Fei and Princess Nova is widely circulated, and even other regions know about it.

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

In this old land where spiritual life is very poor and life is extremely boring, there is such a story of a "princess" and a hunter.

Everyone still likes to listen to it.

This incident happened in the area managed by Lei Zongnan, so he 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 his head. "I don't care what he came back for. It has nothing to do with me."

"Do you think he will be willing to come forward 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, "Please make a conclusion as soon as possible. The virus will not wait for anyone."

"I understand."

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

Mr. Yan had been standing in the shadow corner of the room at some point and said, "It smells like a conspiracy."

"What do you mean?"

"This virus came too strangely and too cleverly."

"Yeah, I think so too." Lei Zongnan sat down on the sofa and took a big puff of the hookah on the table: "What do you think? Why don't they do what they want? Why do they come to this place where no one is doing shit and compete with us, a group of savages?"

"We'll know after we get in touch with them."

"You mean to get in touch with them?"

"Do we have any better options?" Mr. Yan asked back.

Lei Zongnan was silent.

Others are at the mercy of others.

No matter whether this virus has anything to do with them, they are now asking for help from others.

"Let An Ning meet Tang Fei. I want to talk to him."

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

"An Ning doesn't need to worry. A woman who is powerless can disappear from this world at any time as long as we want."

"What if she stands with those new stars?"

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

Mr. Yan looked worried.

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

A plague makes it difficult for them to deal with it.

These people coming to the old land is a dimensionality reduction attack for them.

It's really frustrating.

——

"Lei Zongnan? Did he ask you to invite me?" Tang Fei looked at An Ning sitting opposite and asked.

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 she was even happier than last time.

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

And the power of the ghosts guarding Tang Fei.

My brother has gained a lot in the past few years in Nova.

Tang Fei's strength is also her strength.

This gave her hope of success.

Although she didn't know what her brother wanted.

"What are you talking about?"

"There is a plague in 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 they met, she said she would give the Flame Shrine to him, and she had already prepared for it.

Is this part of her preparation?

"Yes, the disaster is our misfortune."

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

Without the old man around, there are many problems that need to be solved by himself.

Another day of missing the old man.

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

"Then it's settled, I'll wait for my brother in the shrine." An Ning's beautiful eyes narrowed.

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

However, the moment she saw Tang Fei, the fatigue of her body and mind was swept away.

She even felt that she could fight for three hundred rounds.

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

"If we can talk, we can talk. If we can't, we'll kill him." An Ning's smile remained unchanged, but his words 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 walked to 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 talk to you about something." Zhong Tianyi's eyes fell on An Ning, who was wearing a black veil and a black robe, and asked, "Who is this?"

"Saint An Ning of the Flame Shrine." Tang Fei introduced briefly, without explaining the true relationship between him and An Ning.

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

If it were in the past, he would not have had any saints in his eyes.

What is the difference between a saint on the blue star and a rich man among beggars?

However, after being stranded in the old land, he gradually recognized the reality.

The situation is worse than people, so you have to endure humiliation and unite all the forces that can be united

God knows which piece of barren soil can bloom beautiful flowers?

"Your Highness, please go in and wait for a while. I will see the guests off." Tang Fei said.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you guys go first, I'll wait 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 that the conditions here are bad. It's really impossible to compare with Xinxing, let alone Phoenix Palace."

When it comes to Phoenix Palace, the smiles on Tang Fei and Zhong Tianyi's faces froze.

Phoenix Palace was flattened by the Shen army with artillery shells.

No, a dark pit was left on the original site.

I heard that the pit is surrounded by fences for miles, and no one is allowed to approach the location of the black hole.

Tang Fei was sad because it was his first stop after going to Nova.

It was the arena where he and Zhong Daolong and Yan Wenli fought wits and courage, and witnessed the love between him and Fenghuang and the friendship between Sheng Xinhuai.

It was an important journey in his life,

and it just disappeared.

Zhong Tianyi was heartbroken.

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

He was born there, grew up there, and was very familiar with every tree and grass there, and was full of affection.

He spent the first half of his life in Phoenix Palace, the first time he cried, the first time he drank milk, the first time he wet the bed, and the first time he completed the great harmony of life.

Now, Phoenix Palace is gone.

It seems that a piece of his body and memory is missing, and the existing part has no place 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, far from being comparable to Nova."

"But I can accept all of this, and I 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 know the influence of the Shen family on Nova. If we can't counterattack as soon as possible, wait until they complete the real unification of the empire"

"At that time , we have absolutely no hope. Not only can we not go back to Xinxing, but based on my understanding of Shen Wuxiang, they will definitely counterattack us."

"In the worst case, they will not hesitate to destroy the entire planet. There is no one or anything they care about here."

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

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

"Qin retreated to Zhaoling base, holding hundreds of thousands of troops armed to the teeth by Lu, and could attack or defend. With this alone, Shen could not solve it in a short time."

"Lu went to the barren land. Although the land there is vast and sparsely populated, with Lu's mechanical technology and explosive equipment capabilities, they want to equip two mecha corps. It's not a problem, right?"

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

"Other forces are watching covetously, and no one wants to see an unprecedentedly powerful Shen family take the position of the lord of the empire. 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 now in crisis with internal and external troubles. It is very difficult for them to sort out the military and political affairs, let alone the unification of the empire."

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

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

The worry is that he cares so much. After the real counterattack back to Xinxing, will he still be willing to hand over the power?

I am afraid that I won't even have the chance to be a puppet emperor, right?

"It seems that Brother Tang is confident, so I am relieved." Zhong Tianyi praised.

He is older than Tang Fei, but he takes the initiative to call Tang Fei his brother.

When life is not going well, he takes out his penis and stares at it, thinking about the spirit it contains: it can be long or short, thick or thin, and can bend and stretch.

He has been doing this kind of thing a lot recently.

Mainly because he has nothing to do.

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

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

"I will do so." Tang Fei said with a smile.

Thinking, who dares to be a brother with you?

You almost killed your real brother, not to mention your fake brother.

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

For these important figures of the Zhong royal family, the base still gave special care.

Each of them can get an independent courtyard, one is because they have many servants around them, even if they are stranded here, they have many people following them, and the other is for safety and privacy. Let them live with the doctors and guards who fled from Phoenix Palace, everyone is very uncomfortable.

After the maid opened the door and saw that it was Zhong Tianyi, she immediately bowed and saluted: "Meet Your Highness."

"Yes." Zhong Tianyi nodded.

"What are you doing here?" Fenghuang stood under the eaves, her face as cold as frost and asked.

After the night of the Phoenix Palace, Fenghuang never called his two brothers "brothers" again.

Someone who can shoot his own father.

Such a person is not worthy of being her brother.

Although the two live very close, they have no contact with each other, as if they have become strangers.

Zhong Tianyi is not angry either. He knows that his sister now hates him very much, or hates him very much.

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 matters 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 this brother, but she couldn't say that she was not a member of the Zhong family.

Zhong Tianyi turned around and closed the courtyard door, and walked straight to the inner room.

Phoenix hesitated a little, and then followed him.

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?"

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

"Although both of you don't want to admit it, I know that you and Tang Fei are in love. I just want to ask, where are you two now?"

"What does it have to do with you where we are?" Fenghuang 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 Fenghuang and said, "You can see that Tang Fei is our only hope to restore our country and seize power. Only if he supports us wholeheartedly can we have hope of success."

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

"This is not a gift, this is a perfect match. What's more, you already have a deep relationship, so it can be said that you kill two birds with one stone."

"I'm afraid I'll disappoint you." Fenghuang said coldly.

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

Phoenix was silent again.

She also found it difficult to determine the relationship between her and Tang Fei. She was sure that she liked Tang Fei.

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

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

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

"If possible, I don't want to come and talk to you about these things." Zhong Tianyi's voice was sad, and he lowered his head to look 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 Bandit doesn't like me. If given the chance, he would sacrifice me without hesitation. I am very sure of this."

"It's all your own fault." Phoenix cursed fiercely.

If you weren't 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 the world it is today.

"Yes, I did bring it upon myself, and it is not a pity to die." Zhong Tianyi did not deny it, and took the initiative to echo Phoenix's curse: "But, the matter has come to this, we must find a way to make up for it."

"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 used to be , the same will happen in the future.”

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

"If you and Bandit Tang get together, get married and have children, then you can make him wholeheartedly support our Zhong family in regaining power."

"You want me to influence the Tang bandits' decision-making and help you regain your position as king?" Fenghuang understood what Zhong Tianyi meant.

"Not just helping me, but also helping you, helping us to help the entire Zhong family."

“Have you ever heard that old saying from the old lands?”

"What?"

"Water thrown away by a married daughter."

"."

"Let's not mention that I have no relationship with Bandit Tang now." Fenghuang looked down at Zhong Tianyi's drooped head and said in a contemptuous voice: "Even if it is like what you said, we can really get together, get married and have children. "

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

"."
