Chapter 1202: Chapter 868: Southern Emperor, Please Evacuate!

”Not good! Someone has sounded the alarm bell! There’s trouble in the wine cellar! Quick, quick, quick! Sound the alarm and evacuate everyone outside the city!”

”Quick, quick, quick! Evacuate the city! Everyone! Leave the city!”

”...”

”Ring-ring! Ring-ring!”

”...”

”Leave the city! Everyone move outside the city! There’s trouble in the wine cellar! Evacuate! Quickly evacuate!”

”...”

”Ring-ring! Ring-ring!”

”...”

In the blink of an eye, the entire Xunyang City erupted in chaos, countless citizens joined the commotion.

They are from Xunyang City, made prosperous by Huadiao Wine!

Every citizen here benefits from the world-renowned Huadiao Wine of Xunyang City, and naturally knows that if the underground wine cellars of Xunyang City encounter trouble, it would be a catastrophe!

They had long been prepared, and if any winery’s cellar had an accident, the bell would be sounded immediately, which is why Xunyang City’s bell towers are far more numerous than those in other cities!

The sound of bells echoed, countless citizens flocked to the city gates, which were wide open, as row upon row of city guards anxiously directed people out of the city!

”Bad news! The master is still in the city! Everyone, follow me to the Gu Family! Swear to protect the master and escape Xunyang City!” At the City Lord’s Mansion in Xunyang City, an old scholar, looking like a registrar, changed his expression drastically upon hearing the rising alarm bells, put down his wolf brush, and shouted lowly in the empty room around him.

”At your command!”

”At your command!”

”...”

As the words fell, a dozen cold voices echoed in the registrar’s room, and without further ado, the registrar picked up a black cloak, covered his mouth and nose, and disappeared from the City Lord’s Mansion in Xunyang City...

”Everyone surround the Gu Family’s position, search everywhere for the master’s whereabouts, and if found, immediately escort them out of Xunyang City through the secret path!” This registrar was none other than the head of the undercover pawns left by Empress Xiao for Gu Changsheng in Xunyang City.

Hidden in plain sight, he was concealed within the City Lord’s Mansion as a mere registrar!

But at this moment, his face no longer bore the elegance of a registrar, instead exuding the imposing aura of a dark assassin!

With his words, dozens of figures swiftly headed toward the direction of the Gu Residence...

The registrar glanced at the chaotic City Lord’s Mansion, then swiftly followed toward the Gu Residence...

And at this moment, at the Gu Residence...

In the courtyard Gu Changsheng had designated for surgery...

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

”Bang!”

”...”

Underground, the sound of explosions rang out one after another, while above ground, the earth trembled so much that the bricks on the eaves could barely hold on before falling...

”It’s no use! If there’s trouble in the wine cellar, it’s a disaster that could destroy the city! His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mu, go inform the Southern Emperor, we should retreat! Even if our daughter-in-law... we must not bring disaster to the Southern Emperor...” With tears on his face, Elder Guo clung to Zhou Mu’s sleeve, refusing to let go, ”You can’t go! You mustn’t go! The wine cellar is heavily guarded, and once someone with ill intentions infiltrates, they would act with impunity, a single spark could engulf the entire cellar, I can’t let you take such a risk!”

”You!” Zhou Mu looked at the faintly trembling ground, his face dark as ink, ”Someone set the fire!”

He spoke with absolute certainty.

”Even if someone set the fire! You can’t go! You have no idea what the wine cellars of Xunyang City contain! They house countless stores of wine! Huadiao Wine is strong, highly flammable and explosive; once it catches fire, it’s an unmanageable disaster! We cannot let you risk your life! Neither you nor anyone else can! The Southern Emperor even less so!” Elder Guo said, rushing toward the closed courtyard gate.

Zhou Mu saw this and hurriedly stepped forward, his face darkening like a divine residence to block the way, ”What are you doing? Changsheng has said, if she doesn’t come out, no one is to go in!”

”What am I doing? Haven’t you heard what I said? Underneath Xunyang City is full of wine cellars! One cellars leads to another! If trouble occurs in one, it’s a city-destroying disaster! Xunyang City lives off Huadiao, we’ve long had a contingency plan, evacuate the city, as long as we’re alive, even if Xunyang City is demolished by wine explosions, it can be rebuilt in a few years, we have reserves stored outside, we’re not afraid of this man-made disaster! But I can’t implicate the Southern Emperor, drag you all to your deaths!” Elder Guo shouted toward the courtyard, ”Southern Emperor! Southern Emperor! Stop! Stop! We must evacuate immediately, or everyone will die here!”

Elder Guo had lived through a city-destroying wine cellar explosion before, and even now just the thought of it filled him with dread!

That is outright a natural disaster, beyond human control!

Like thunder through dry wood, unstoppable, and once disaster strikes, it spreads to other wine cellars. In just a quarter of an hour, the entire Xunyang City would be reduced to rubble in an underground wine cellar explosion!

To this day, beside Xunyang City, remnants of the old site of the city remain!

Such wine cellar incidents in Xunyang City have happened more than once or twice!

Fortunately, each time they responded promptly, preventing a man-made catastrophe!

But this time, it just so happens that his daughter-in-law is in labor, and this is fate!

Even knowing that interrupting the surgery would be fatal, Elder Guo had no choice but to intervene!

”Southern Emperor, stop! We need to evacuate immediately! No matter life or death of the daughter-in-law and grandson, we won’t blame you! Evacuate! Quickly evacuate! If we don’t evacuate now, this yard will collapse and explode!” Elder Guo shouted while pushing Zhou Mu beside him, ”Go and call out the Southern Emperor! You all evacuate outside the city! You seriously haven’t seen a wine cellar explosion! Quickly evacuate! All of you evacuate!”

Elder Guo shouted as he broke out into tears!

”Daughter-in-law, I’m sorry! I’m sorry! Southern Emperor, stop! Stop!”

Elder Guo sobbed as he dashed towards the closed courtyard door, banging it loudly again and again...

Seeing this, Zhou Mu’s expression also tensed.

How grand the Guo family’s underground wine cellar is, Zhou Mu had personally toured it under Elder Guo’s guidance. The outer borders of the wine cellar and other families’ cellars were indeed just separated by a few brick walls, serving merely as boundaries...

Saying it this way, if the wine really encounters fire, the consequences are truly unimaginable...

At this thought, Zhou Mu immediately picked up the little one beside him and with a leap, entered the closed courtyard...

”They’re born! They’re born! Both children were delivered safely, we can start stitching now!” Gu Changsheng exhaled nervously as he looked at Guo Xianer cradling the crying little baby girl in her arms. Working non-stop, he carefully replaced the disarrayed internal organs back into position through the abdominal cavity’s membrane...

Underground, one explosion after another rumbled, making the ground faintly tremble...

Gu Changsheng was strenuously searching for the balance point, trying hard to stabilize the strength of his hands.

Zhou Mu, holding the little one, stood in the courtyard, staring at the tightly shut door of the room, frowning, yet not speaking...

”Uncle Wood, should we call out to mother? The ground is moving, the earth tiger is turning over, it’s dangerous...” The little one looked at Zhou Mu, fearfully hesitating as he spoke.

”When saving lives, your mother won’t listen to others...” Zhou Mu watched the closed door, listened to the sounds coming from inside, imagining the actions of his woman, and spoke gently.

”Then... why did we come in?” Hearing this, the little one was instantly puzzled, asking in confusion.

”Even if the skies fall and the earth sinks, we cannot disturb her. I just want to be a bit closer to her...” Zhou Mu patted the little one in his arms, speaking with a smile, ”Are you afraid?”

”Not afraid! With mother here, with Uncle Wood here, Yaoyao is never afraid!” The little one shook his head firmly upon hearing this, full of certainty.

The two silhouettes, one large and one small, like Jade Trees of Qiong Branch, stood a short distance from the door, gazing at the tightly closed room...

Inside the suite, Guo Xianer hastily stuffed the tightly wrapped little babies into Xiao Yuyu’s arms, urging anxiously, ”Go! Quickly go! Something happened to the wine cellar! Quickly take the children and evacuate!”

”Miss! But what about you, Miss?” Xiao Yuyu, holding the just-born little babies in her arms, asked anxiously with tears in her eyes.

”My sister-in-law just gave birth for our Guo family, and the Southern Emperor just went through a lot to save my nephew and niece. If they don’t leave, I won’t either! You, go quickly! Take the children and leave! Make sure everyone evacuates! I’ll persuade the Southern Emperor and the Medical Immortal forebear to leave! Quickly evacuate! Evacuate!” Guo Xianer resolutely said, pushing Xiao Yuyu towards the door...

The moment the door opened, Guo Xianer saw a figure standing not far from the door, like a Divine Residence, a flicker of admiration flashed in her eyes. However, she quickly concealed that admiration, pushed Xiao Yuyu with the two swaddled babies out, and said deeply, ”I will go persuade the Southern Emperor to evacuate now!”

With those words, Guo Xianer turned and went back inside without another word.

”Even if you persuade, it won’t work...” Zhou Mu, looking at the figure disappearing through the door, feeling the increasingly violent tremors and explosions from underground, spoke in helplessness.

No one understood that woman’s temperament better than he did.

In her eyes, perhaps even the Southern Country couldn’t compare to the patients in her hands!

In some ways, she was a medical fanatic, losing herself when fiddling with herbs, disregarding herself when seeing patients...

His woman might not be a qualified Empress, not a qualified Southern Emperor, but she was a competent doctor! A doctor who leaves no room for doubt among doctors worldwide!

”Southern Emperor, stop! My sister-in-law won’t blame you! If you continue like this, we’ll all die here!”

Rushing into the operating room, Guo Xianer grabbed Gu Changsheng’s hand, speaking anxiously, ”Something happened to the wine cellar, the stored wine encountered fire, and soon it will explode, affecting the surrounding cellars, which would be a city-destroying disaster! Southern Emperor, stop! Your status cannot withstand such loss! If anything happens to the wine cellar, it will be both natural and human calamity, water and fire are ruthless! Southern Emperor...”
