Marrying a Disabled General and be His Wife - Chapter 69

With the flying ship Yunzhou, Lingjiang was no longer an obstacle for Cui Yuanqing.

However, what really worries Tan Chuyan was not Cui Yuanqing, but the Xiyi people.

Tan Chuyan once met the Xiyi people at the Palace of Qi Kingdom. They were rough-looking and had black, hard, naturally curly hair. For the convenience of traveling, they often tied their hair into two braids hanging in front of their bodies.

Of course, what concerned Tan Chuyan most was not the appearance of the Xiyi people, but their history.

The original settlement of the Xiyi people was Hanyu.

It was an island floating on the sea in an extremely cold place. Because it was surrounded by icebergs all year round and the snow did not melt, it was named – Hanyu.

Although the living environment was harsh, people still lived there, and in order to have a better life, the people of Hanyu began to explore the outside world early and learned to engage in business.

They thought they could always maintain such a peaceful relationship, but unexpectedly, Hanyu Island began to disintegrate a hundred years ago and sank into the sea bit by bit.

In order to survive, the people of Hanyu had to embark on a journey to find a new home.

Because they were in a hurry and didn’t bring much food with them, they landed on the nearest land to Hanyu.

Like Hanyu, this land was also extremely cold, with no four seasons, only white snow. The country ruling here named itself Snow Country.

It was said that the king of Snow Country, considering the friendship between the two sides, could not bear to see so many Xiyi people starve to death in the snow, so he kindly took them in.

But no one expected that the king’s actions would bring disaster to Snow Country.

The Xiyi people harbored evil intentions and launched a coup only three years later, massacring the royal family of Snow Country and the courtiers who were unwilling to surrender.

Since then, in the extremely cold land, there were only Xiyi people and no Snow Country people.

After stabilizing, the Xiyi people turned their attention to the adjacent Dayong Dynasty. Because food could not be grown in the extremely cold place, the fertile soil of Dayong Dynasty formed an irresistible attraction for them.

To guard against the Xiyi people, the Tantai clan, who lived in seclusion in Tianlu Mountain and did not submit to any force, took on the responsibility of gatekeepers.

Although everyone knew that the Tantai clan lived in Tianlu Mountain, no one knew their specific location because of the treacherous terrain.

However, now that things had happened, with the flying ship’s blessing, no matter how difficult it was to climb Tianlu Mountain, it would no longer be an obstacle.

Tan Chuyan pulled Feng Chilie away from him, walked barefoot to the table, and picked up a pen to draw a picture.

Feng Chilie followed and asked curiously: “What are you drawing?”

“Something that might be able to deal with the flying ship,” Tan Chuyan replied, trying hard to recall what his teacher had drawn for him.

After finishing the drawing, Tan Chuyan felt that something was off. He was about to revise it when Feng Chilie asked, “Is what you painted a fire gun?”

Tan Chuyan’s hand paused. “Have you seen this?”

“Not only have I seen it, but I also have one. It was a birthday gift from Feng Chengjian,” Feng Chilie said. “In addition to this, he also gave me guns and bombs. These were all given to me when I turned twenty.”

Tan Chuyan put down his pen and said with unconcealable joy in his voice, “Do you still have these things?”

“Yes,” Feng Chilie nodded. “I’ve kept them all at the Purity Sect.”

The lethality of these items was self-evident. If someone found them at home, even ten thousand members of the Feng family would not be enough to escape punishment. Therefore, every time Feng Chengjian gave him these items, he immediately transferred them to the Purity Sect to avoid any potential consequences.

Of course, today was different from the past. Jing Kingdom no longer existed, so it didn’t matter where these items were.

Tan Chuyan stood up and was about to walk out. “Take me to see them.”

“Wait a minute,” Feng Chilie held his hand. “Tell me first, where did you see the fire gun?”

Feng Chengjian had warned Feng Chilie that these items were brought from his mother’s clan and must not be seen by anyone. He hid them very well, so it was impossible for Tan Chuyan to have seen them.

Facing Feng Chilie’s inquiry, Tan Chuyan did not hide anything. “I have never seen a fire gun. I have only seen an illustration of a fire gun. My teacher drew it for me when I was fourteen years old. It’s been so long; I actually can’t remember clearly.”

After hearing this answer, Feng Chilie’s mind suddenly recalled the last words he accidentally overheard when he was twenty years old.
