Chapter 34 The Eve Before the Imperial Capital (Part 2)

Chapter 1 After the Descent

After Xu Jingming descended into the Blood Rain world, memories from the 'intelligent idle' phase naturally flooded his mind: "The inn was attacked?" He could see rockets sticking out of many parts of the inn, already starting to burn.

"Protect the master, protect the young lady." Many guards converged toward the Fei family father and daughter.

Xu Jingming, carrying two shields and holding a long spear, also came to Fei Xinlan's room.

*Boom.*

The door of the room opened, and Qiu Tong and two other female guards were protecting Fei Xinlan. Fei Xinlan looked at the flames burning in the inn, without panic, but rather with curiosity: "Another bandit attack? They've started using fire?"

Along the way, Fei Xinlan had experienced too many bandits and was used to it.

"This time is different." Master Fei walked over with the guards, his face serious, "This is already around the imperial capital. What bandits would dare to be so brazen?"

Most of the surrounding guards were Blood Rain Guards, and the silver-haired old man who led them solemnly instructed, "Qu Cheng, take some men to scout outside the inn immediately and see what the enemy is up to."

"Yes." Guard Qu Cheng responded and led five guards under his command, leaping off the second-floor corridor. They dispersed, each moving like a ghost, quietly reaching different parts of the inn, cautiously poking their heads out to observe the surroundings in the dark night.

The flames burning in the inn illuminated the outside scene, and one could see the Black Lotus Sect disciples heavily surrounding the inn.

*Puff puff puff!*

As these guards poked their heads out and looked around carefully, they were immediately attacked by arrows. The six guards returned with their shields, some of which had arrows sticking in them.

"Commander." Qu Cheng respectfully reported to the silver-haired old man, "It's the Black Lotus Sect! I can recognize the clothes they're wearing at a glance—they're all disciples of the Black Lotus Sect."

"There are at least two hundred people."

"They also brought fishing nets and wooden buckets."

Several guards said.

The silver-haired old man's expression changed slightly when he heard this: "It's those lunatics from the Black Lotus Sect!"

"Master." The silver-haired old man bowed slightly and reported, "Since the Black Lotus Sect has come to attack, they must be well-prepared. From my experience fighting the Black Lotus Sect, they must have prepared 'oil' and 'poisonous water'. Once the inn starts to collapse, they will throw oil in! Before we even truly fight, we may suffer heavy casualties. We must break through immediately!"

"Guard Lu, you take charge of everything," Master Fei said.

"Okay."

The silver-haired old man nodded and immediately ordered, "Everyone go to the stable! Use the horses as a vanguard to break out of the inn and choose a direction to charge. Kill anyone who blocks us without mercy!"

Immediately, everyone protected Master Fei and his daughter and jumped directly downstairs, heading toward the stable.

...

*Bang bang bang!*

Fireworks and rockets shot into the sky, extremely conspicuous in the night sky.

"The Blood Rain Guards' cloud-piercing arrows—there are no large cities within a hundred *li* around here, who will come to save them?" The Black Lotus Sect's Dharma King watched, the Fei family team sending out a distress signal, which they had expected and didn't care about at all.

Even if someone saw the cloud-piercing arrows and came to rescue them, by the time they arrived, they would have already succeeded.

"Spare me, spare me." Suddenly, someone carefully walked out of the burning inn, raising their hands.

"I have silver, heroes, please spare me."

These people walked out of the inn hoping for luck, but they were greeted by arrows! The arrows were extremely fast, tearing through the air and piercing through flesh and blood. In the blink of an eye, everyone who walked out of the inn was shot dead.

The Black Lotus Sect disciples watched this scene indifferently. For them, who had been rebelling for years, killing ordinary people was too easy.

But the other people in the inn were somewhat desperate; they were completely implicated.

"We'll be burned to death in the inn, and killed if we go out. What should we do, what should we do?" These guests, as well as the inn's shopkeeper, waiters, and cooks, were all in terror and despair.

"Charge!"

"The fire is getting bigger and bigger. Staying in the inn is certain death. Charge out, and there's still a chance of survival."

These people no longer took chances and each used their own methods to escape in all directions, hoping to escape if they could.

However, the people besieging the inn this time were from the Black Lotus Sect, which destined that none of these people would escape. Soon, under the arrows, these people all fell and died, including a second-rate expert, who was killed by a hidden weapon before even reaching the Black Lotus Sect.

"These are not worth mentioning. The Fei family's team—the guards are all Blood Rain Guard elites, much stronger," the Black Lotus Sect's Dharma King said softly.

As soon as he finished speaking—

"Neigh, neigh, neigh~~~"

Accompanied by the neighing of fine horses, many fine horses rushed out of the inn, rushing out madly!

The rest of the Fei family's team was running, protecting the carriage in the center. What pulled the carriage was not horses, but a guard wearing full armor. These in-flowing experts could burst out with tens of thousands of *jin* of strength in a short time, so pulling a carriage was naturally easy, but this state of explosion could not last long.

"*Bang bang bang—*" Dozens of fine horses galloped, and the force of the charge was quite terrifying. The Black Lotus Sect disciples had to avoid them.

In the Fei family's team, Xu Jingming was currently charging in front.

As one of the seven first-rate experts in the team, and also wielding a spear, he naturally bore the responsibility of breaking through the formation! Led by him, three first-rate experts, along with ten shield experts, were bravely charging at the forefront.

"*Hua hua hua—*"

Xu Jingming glanced and saw huge fishing nets being thrown from afar in the night sky, wanting to cover the Fei family's team.

Immediately, a group of guards in the Fei family's team threw out sections of thick wooden stakes. These were wooden stakes found next to the stable, probably used as firewood. The Blood Rain Guards were familiar with the Black Lotus Sect's common methods, so they naturally brought some wooden stakes with them.

One section of wooden stake, each weighing nearly a hundred *jin*, was thrown out and collided with the fishing nets, carrying the fishing nets back into the Black Lotus Sect disciples' camp. The Black Lotus Sect disciples quickly dodged, and then poisonous water was sprayed over.

"*Chi chi chi.*" Next to Xu Jingming, a guard immediately raised his shield to block the poisonous water sprayed nearby. The shield corroded by the poisonous water made sounds.

Xu Jingming was also secretly amazed.

"This Black Lotus Sect is not an ordinary gang force, its style is more inclined to an elite army," Xu Jingming secretly sighed, "Fortunately, the Blood Rain Guards have been fighting the Black Lotus Sect for a long time and have rich experience."

Fishing nets, poisonous water, hidden weapons, thrown weapons, traps...

The Black Lotus Sect had already set up simple traps while besieging this place, and although the Fei family's team was elite, their numbers were ultimately smaller, and they began to suffer losses.

"Charge." The silver-haired old man beside Master Fei shouted.

Although the Black Lotus Sect disciples were also trying to maintain their distance, they were obviously not as elite as the smaller Fei family team.

The Fei family team finally broke into the Black Lotus Sect's ranks.

"Master Fei must have arranged many experts to protect his only two family members," the Black Lotus Sect's Dharma King silently observed, allowing his disciples to fight with the Fei family team.

"Let the disciples test the Fei family team's strength first."

The Dharma King was very cautious.

His life was much more valuable than the disciples' lives. Without knowing the Fei family team's strength, blindly charging in would easily be attacked by unknown experts! So the Dharma King patiently observed, collecting the information he wanted.

"Kill."

Xu Jingming, holding a large spear, charged in the front, also feeling great pressure! The two first-rate experts who cooperated with him, one wielding a shield and a knife, and the other wielding an eight-foot-long saber, shared the pressure on both sides, and a group of guards helped defend with shields.

"*Puff puff puff.*"

Xu Jingming's spear was as fast as lightning, leaving behind blood-colored spear flowers, and Black Lotus Sect disciples were pierced and fell down. But these disciples also launched attacks, and weapons came, and hidden weapons also attacked.

In this large-scale battle, a large spear had a great advantage.

But in the Blood Rain world, there were few experts who used long spears; using sabers and swords was the mainstream! Carrying them daily, sabers and swords were more convenient. Like Xu Jingming, he usually put two sections of the long spear in a spear bag. He had to take them out and assemble them before fighting, which was really inconvenient for ordinary struggles.

Plus, in terms of self-preservation, long spears were not as good as shields.

Therefore, whether it was the Blood Rain Guards or gang bandits, shields and knives, and shields and swords were more common. Only a few experts insisted on practicing spear techniques! It was really that long spears had their advantages in large-scale battles.

"Throw."

The rotating, sharp knife wheel cut through the air and cut over.

Xu Jingming shook his spear and knocked back the six sharp knife wheels that were close to him.

"Kill him." A Black Lotus Sect expert wanted to stop Xu Jingming, the team's 'tip of the spear.'

But Xu Jingming had long understood the 'Form of All Living Things,' and had entered the *Shikong* (Time-Space) Scroll of the five spear technique scrolls, and had the *Liushui* (Flowing Water) Scroll that adapted to changes in circumstances. Xu Jingming was very good at grasping the situation on the field, and made corresponding changes according to the enemy's situation.

He always looked for the weaknesses in the enemy's formation, like the knife in the hands of a butcher, naturally cutting open the weaknesses of the enemy's formation!

Attacking the weak with strength!

The other two first-rate experts followed Xu Jingming. Their strength was comparable to Xu Jingming's, but their expertise was different. One was good at close-quarters protection, and the other was good at killing! The two cooperated with Xu Jingming, causing extremely strong damage to the Black Lotus Sect disciples.

"Guard Xu is a natural genius in military formations," the silver-haired old man praised from afar, "His sense of smell is very keen, and he can find the enemy's formation weaknesses in the melee, seize fleeting opportunities, and quickly defeat the enemy."

The gray-clothed man next to him also nodded: "In one-on-one fighting, he is only at the first-rate level, but his spear technique and ability to lead the team are indeed suitable for the army."

The two of them were around the carriage, carefully responding.

The Dharma King watched this scene from afar.

"The Fei family team has three first-rate experts at the vanguard! There should be several first-rate experts around the Fei family father and daughter. Master Fei really cares about his family, arranging so many experts," the Dharma King roughly figured out the Fei family team's strength, "The possibility of this team having a super-first-rate expert is very low!"

With an idea.

The Dharma King moved.

"*Swoosh.*"

The Dharma King instantly rushed into the Black Lotus Sect disciples, heading straight for Xu Jingming and the other three. The Black Lotus Sect disciples naturally instinctively dodged.

"Hmm?" Xu Jingming controlled the battle situation at all times, feeling that a large number of Black Lotus Sect disciples were dodging like flowing water, causing a black-haired man to pounce over at an extremely fast speed.

"Be careful." Xu Jingming immediately changed his direction of advance, and the long spear was like a snake, *bang bang bang*, successively flying away three Black Lotus Sect disciples holding shields to resist. Those Black Lotus Sect disciples were smashed toward the black-haired man.

The black-haired man's figure changed like a ghost and was already approaching.

Xu Jingming's two companions also noticed and were extremely wary.

"*Boom—*"

A terrifying mental consciousness erupted, impacting in all directions.

Xu Jingming felt his head go blank, feeling a mental tide impacting his consciousness, making him feel like he was about to fall, and his brain also felt a sharp pain. The two companions next to him also changed their expressions greatly, and one of them, holding a shield and a knife, couldn't help but cover his head in pain.

"*Chi chi chi.*"

Accompanying the terrifying mental impact was a black light! The light was demon-like, unpredictable.

Although Xu Jingming's head hurt badly, the threat of death at this moment made him shudder, and he wielded the long spear in his hand! Defending with the *Dingshan* (Mountain-Settling) Scroll, responding to the enemy's saber light with the *Liushui* (Flowing Water) Scroll, while sensing the aura changes of all living things at all times.

Because the enemy's moves were too fast, he couldn't see them clearly at all. He had to use the aura changes to judge the enemy's moves.

"*Clang clang clang.*"

The strange black light flickered!

To Xu Jingming's left, the first-rate expert who used the shield and knife had covered his head before. When the saber light attacked, he swung his shield to resist, but he was a step too slow. The saber light flashed, and he stood there motionless, leaving a bloodstain on his waist.

The first-rate expert holding a long saber tried his best to block the enemy with his eight-foot-long saber, but he still couldn't stop the terrifying and strange 'black light'. The black light swept past, leaving a bloodstain on his neck.

Xu Jingming's spear successively resisted, while retreating violently.

In the blink of an eye!

Of the three first-rate experts, two died and one retreated.

"Too fast." Xu Jingming looked at his waist, where a piece of cloth was missing, revealing the protective armor worn inside. This was given to Xu Jingming by Miss Fei Xinlan, and now there was a knife mark on the protective armor.

"If it weren't for this protective armor, I would be seriously injured even if I didn't die," Xu Jingming secretly sighed, "A super-first-rate expert, it must be a super-first-rate expert."

Giving him such a terrifying pressure, there was no doubt that it was a super-first-rate expert!

This was the first super-first-rate expert Xu Jingming had encountered since coming to the Blood Rain world.

"Night Dharma King." The silver-haired old man and the gray-clothed man by the carriage only confirmed the identity of the person after seeing the Dharma King make his move.

"Defend to the death!" The silver-haired old man shouted.

"Defend to the death!"

"Defend to the death!"

The guards shouted in unison, and the assault formation immediately changed to a death-defying formation. Circles of what looked like blooming lotus flowers immediately surrounded the carriage, forming a protective formation. Their backs were all handed over to their companions, and they only needed to deal with the front, and they began to prepare to defend to the death.

*Swoosh! Swoosh!*

The silver-haired old man and the gray-clothed man rushed out at the same time, rushing towards the Black Lotus Sect's Night Dharma King.

"Dare to rush over proactively?" The Night Dharma King sneered. Of the three Xu Jingming, two were dead, and the remaining Xu Jingming was also retreating and fleeing. But the silver-haired old man and the gray-clothed man joined forces and killed them nearby.

*Puff puff puff!*

The Night Dharma King and the two instantly fought each other. The silver-haired old man was holding the most common shield and knife, and the gray-clothed man was using a shield and a sword. His sword was a soft sword, fast and strange. The two cooperated, one openly and the other gently and strangely. Both had shields, and they completely blocked the Night Dharma King's terrifying attack.

Although the Night Dharma King's oppression was extremely strong and obviously advantageous! But he just couldn't break through the two's shields, and the two's knives and swords also posed some threat to the Night Dharma King.

"Attack and completely destroy them." The Night Dharma King also issued an order while fighting.

"Even if we die, we must protect the master and young lady." The silver-haired old man roared, and he and the gray-clothed man could only do their best to entangle the Night Dharma King.

"Kill!"

"Attack!"

The Black Lotus Sect disciples went crazy.

Before, they were still reserved, consuming the Fei family team in an orderly manner. But after the Night Dharma King launched an attack and issued an order, all the Black Lotus Sect disciples became crazy! They attacked at all costs.

"Block them!"

All the guards did their best to resist, and Xu Jingming, as a first-rate expert, rescued the situation one place after another according to the situation on the field.

When they checked into the inn, the Fei family team had seven first-rate experts! There were twenty-seven second-rate experts, and a small number of third-rate experts. Most of them were Blood Rain Guard elite experts. Now, under the Black Lotus Sect's siege, even if everyone was back-to-back, even if most of them had inner armor, they still fell one by one!

After all, two fists are no match for four hands, and the number of Black Lotus Sect experts was greater than that of the Fei family team.

"*Puchi!*" A knife pierced into Luo Baichuan's chest. The knife was pulled out, and blood splattered.

"Withdraw."

The other guards very skillfully pulled Luo Baichuan away and pulled him into the inner layer of the team. The entire team's formation shrank slightly again.

"Brother Luo." Inside the carriage, Fei Xinlan, looking at the outside through the window gap, trembled when she saw Luo Baichuan's chest pierced with a bloody hole and dragged to the innermost layer of the team, falling beside the carriage.

"I, I thought... I thought letting you go to the imperial capital together would help you. But, but..." Fei Xinlan felt sad when she saw other guards die, after all, they were all protecting her and her father. And she had special feelings for the three guards she personally selected.

But what now?

At first, she thought it was helping them, giving them opportunities. But now it seemed that it also brought terrible danger.

"*Puff.*"

A guard spat out blood, and there were fragments of internal organs in the blood. Similarly, Black Lotus Sect disciples also fell.

The battle entered the most brutal stage!

The Black Lotus Sect disciples were crazy, wanting to flatten this Fei family team. And all the Fei family guards were also doing their best to guard the carriage.

At this moment, Xu Jingming's emotions were also fluctuating. Companions who had been with him day and night for two months were dying one by one! Xu Jingming's long spear could only try to kill the enemy, try to help his companions, and try to do his best.

At this moment, he felt powerless.

Human strength is sometimes limited! His strength was limited after all! He couldn't reverse the situation by his own strength, and he couldn't defeat the Black Lotus Sect by his own strength. After all, he was still far from the realm of 'super-first-rate expert.'

"*Dingshan* Scroll! Calm your mind! Immovable... as a mountain!" At this moment, under the turbulent emotions, Xu Jingming understood the essence of the *Dingshan* Scroll even more.

The five spear technique scrolls were created by the cosmic legendary existence 'Xuan'. 'Xuan' had different achievements in these five scrolls.

What he accumulated the most was the *Liushui* Scroll and the *Dingshan* Scroll. These two scrolls had the most recorded content. Before becoming a ninth-order... Xuan had extremely high achievements in these two directions.

"If the mind is calm, the spear technique will be stable."

"If it is stable, there will be no chance for the enemy to take advantage." Xu Jingming's inner emotions were turbulent, but his brain was very calm. He sensed the forms of all living things, looking for the enemy's flaws, killing the enemy, and helping his companions.

Do what he could do to the limit!

Sometimes life-and-death fights are just about who makes fewer mistakes and who can seize the opportunity better.

One opportunity will determine life and death.

Xu Jingming was immersed in the mental state of 'mind calm, immovable as a mountain', perfectly displaying his spear technique, constantly killing enemies on the battlefield. Even two Black Lotus Sect first-rate experts killed him, wanting to pull out Xu Jingming's nail.

But Xu Jingming was too stable, not blind, not greedy for merit, and not giving the Black Lotus Sect any chance. He was cooperating with the entire Fei family team's formation, maintaining the formation's operation.

"Three minutes later, the number of dead guards will reach the critical point, and the entire guard team will completely collapse." Xu Jingming understood this, but he still used his spear technique to influence the team and worked hard to persist.

"Haven't broken through yet?"

The Night Dharma King was also held back by the two Blood Rain Guard experts. These two experts were considered top-notch among the first-rate experts, and their cooperation was even comparable to 'super-first-rate experts'. They were also confidants of the Fei family's eldest son. This time, in order to protect his father and sister, he also sent them.

"*Rumbling~~~*" Suddenly, dense hoofbeats came from afar. Because they were running too fast and too densely, the earth was shaking.

"Hmm?"

Both the surviving Fei family team and the Black Lotus Sect disciples, who had also suffered heavy casualties, noticed.

This team was coming at full speed. There were many horses, but not many people.

Each person had three horses! Lightly armed, they came at full speed.

"Black Lotus Sect?" Accompanied by a loud shout, "Kill me, kill all these Black Lotus Sect rebels!"

Figures leaped off their horses, turning into afterimages and killing them.

In terms of long-distance running, experts were naturally not as good as these fine horses! But in a short period of time, in-flowing experts were so fast that their figures were blurred. These dozens of top experts went straight to where the Black Lotus Sect and Fei family team were fighting.

"Wang Jiuyan?" The Night Dharma King saw the figure rushing in front from afar.

That was a burly man, holding an iron spear, his figure like thunder. Before he even arrived, the terrifying mental impact had already spread throughout the battlefield, mainly impacting the Black Lotus Sect side.

"Blood Demon Spear, Wang Jiuyan?" The Night Dharma King's face changed, and he immediately ordered loudly, "Withdraw!"

With an order.

The Night Dharma King immediately flashed and retreated into the darkness. The other Black Lotus Sect disciples immediately dispersed and fled. They had been rebelling for years, and they were very experienced in retreating and fleeing.

The Black Lotus Sect disciples quickly disappeared into the night. The battle was over!

...

As soon as the Black Lotus Sect disciples retreated, the surviving Fei family team immediately relaxed, and many guards collapsed directly on the ground.

Xu Jingming looked a few sizes thinner, evidently the high-intensity fighting also consumed energy.

"Greetings, Lord Wang."

The silver-haired old man and the gray-clothed man stepped forward and saluted.

"Is Fei's brother's father and sister okay?" The burly man walked to the front of the team and asked.

"We resisted desperately and delayed until now, finally protecting the master and young lady. If Lord Wang hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid not many of us would have been able to escape today," the silver-haired old man said.

At this time, the burly man also saw Master Fei and Fei Xinlan who had walked down the carriage.

"I am Wang Jiuyan, a friend of Brother Fei Qing, greetings to Uncle and Xinlan." The burly man smiled, "I was entrusted by Brother Fei Qing, so I brought people and came at full speed. Fortunately, I arrived at a critical moment. If I had been one step slower, I wouldn't know how to explain to Brother Fei Qing."

"Thank you, Lord Wang, for saving our lives." Master Fei was also very grateful. He could tell that this Wang Jiuyan's status should be very high, and he only referred to the Blood Rain Guard Commander of the Eastern Region of the Empire as 'Brother Fei Qing'.

"Quickly treat the guards." The burly man ordered. The many experts he brought were all reinforcements, and immediately helped treat the wounded. Only a third of the many guards could still stand, and the rest were either dead or injured.

"Brother Luo."

Fei Xinlan had tears in her eyes and had already arrived at Luo Baichuan's side, worried as she looked at Luo Baichuan, who had become a blood man.

At this moment, Luo Baichuan's face was pale, and his lips had no color at all. Seeing Fei Xinlan coming over, his lips moved, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it.

"He's not dead yet, so he won't die." The expert next to him helped treat the wound and said casually, "It's lucky to be able to survive such an injury."

In-flowing experts can control every cell in their body, and their vitality is very tenacious. They can control the 'bleeding' in their body, control the wound healing, and control the blood flow rate in their body, so as long as they can survive to now, they can generally survive.

"Good luck." Xu Jingming and Qiu Tong, who had come over, were also happy for Luo Baichuan. Being alive was good luck.

Qiu Tong was Fei Xinlan's senior sister, and she had a broken arm, so she was in the innermost part of the formation and received less pressure, so she survived.

Xu Jingming had been fighting all the time.

The two of them walked to the side, not affecting others from treating Luo Baichuan.

"You are more powerful," Qiu Tong said, "You have become a blood man, but the blood is all someone else's."

Xu Jingming sat down and looked around. Many guards were dead.

"Life is impermanent." Xu Jingming shook his head.

"Have a drink." Qiu Tong threw over a wine pot and sat down next to him, casually saying, "Where doesn't anyone die in this world? People's lives outside the city are as cheap as grass, and there are often gang fights in the city. Being able to join the Blood Rain Guard is already considered a superior person. But as a Blood Rain Guard, you have to fight at critical moments, and you can't retreat half a step."

"No line is easy, and each has its own difficulties." Xu Jingming nodded slightly.

The two of them drank wine.

Soon, food was distributed, and the survivors ate, drank, and chatted. Escorting the Fei family father and daughter to the imperial capital, everyone was prepared to fight to the death. Now that their companions were dead, everyone was very calm, which was expected.

More than an hour later, a large number of people arrived.

"What a big battle." Xu Jingming and Qiu Tong looked up and saw a large group of people arriving. A leader was surrounded by many people. That was a black-robed youth.

The black-robed youth leaped off his horse and came to the front of the team.

"Lord." Some Blood Rain Guard experts, such as the silver-haired old man and the gray-clothed man, immediately stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

"Dad, little sister."

The black-robed youth couldn't help but have red eyes and was extremely excited when he saw his father and sister.

"Brother." Fei Xinlan excitedly rushed over and threw herself into her brother's arms.

The black-robed youth hugged his sister and then smiled happily.

"Brother Jiuyan, thank you." The black-robed youth let go of his sister and thanked Wang Jiuyan next to him.

"It's a small matter." Wang Jiuyan smiled, "And it's mainly the guards' credit. They persisted under the Black Lotus Sect's siege for a while, and the casualties were quite heavy. When I arrived, I just shouted, and the Black Lotus Sect retreated, so I didn't make any contribution."

"Without you, how would they have retreated?" The black-robed youth then looked at the tired guards after the war. Many heavily injured guards stood up to greet the Fei Commander.

"My father and sister can live, and everyone has contributed."

The black-robed youth looked at everyone and said, "I, Fei Qing, will not forget everyone's contribution."

"Thank you, Lord." The guards were a little excited. Xu Jingming, Qiu Tong, and other few people who were not from the 'Blood Rain Guard' also thanked Lord Fei together.

This road was very difficult.

But as long as they successfully sent the people to the imperial capital, that would be a great achievement! Each of them would be developed.

Now that they heard Fei Qing's promise again, they were relieved.
