The web drama "Tang Brick" starring Zhang Jianing and Wang Tianchen was exclusively broadcast on the entire Qiyi network starting October 29, 2018. For more updates, please follow the official WeChat account "Jiu Yu Not 2"... Dreaming back to Chang'an, fresh ** stains the Xuanwu Gate, and in the depths of the Taiji ** there is nothing but endless sorrow. The people are water, the ruler is the boat, the clear sound still echoes across the land of Chang'an, yet the iron hooves of foreign tribes have once again trampled through the Jade Gate Pass. How can this hatred be measured? Li Shimin in his grave witnesses his people in misery—what kind of furious roar should he let out? Beating the railings in vain, he can only see the land of the nine provinces sinking! His chest is also filled with stifled anger, wishing he could cross the river of history, pluck the flying stars, embrace the sun and moon, and reverse the universe. Well then, hearing the wailing of ghosts outside the window, autumn rain falling, he trims a branch for a bald brush, to continue the story of the flourishing Tang dynasty, removing the ** dark parts. My Great Tang has no sorrow, only the heroic spirit of clashing swords and armored horses, emperors who swallow the sun and moon with their might, fierce generals who have bathed in a hundred battles, high scholars with tall hats and broad sashes, gentle and virtuous empresses, kind fathers and filial sons, a prosperous era that endures—this is my Great Tang, my "Tang Brick."

Extra Story: Dragon Totem, The Age of Great Strife (Part 1) [Qidian Exclusive Extra]

Edward Carter looked up at the gloomy sky, where an orange-red bolt of lightning happened to tear through the clouds.

The Wangcai beneath him let out a helpless, mournful cry, then buried its huge head into Edward Carter's arms.

"Crack!"

Although thunder is slower than lightning, it eventually arrived, and the sound was extremely loud.

Edward Carter pressed Wangcai's two ears with his hands... Ever since the weather changed, this child had started to fear thunder.

He thought lightning would only last for a moment, but unexpectedly, the lightning in the sky seemed endless, bolts flashing almost simultaneously in the dark clouds, interweaving like a spider web.

Then, peals of thunder followed one after another, as if the sky were collapsing.

"Chiluchuan, beneath Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, the sky vast, the wild boundless, when the wind blows the grass low, cattle and sheep appear."

Edward Carter sang this song of the Hu people in a hoarse voice.

It wasn't that he couldn't sing Tang folk tunes, but at this moment, the sky was as dark as iron, the earth as desolate as at the beginning, and singing such a bold song could lift his spirits.

Samuel Clark's injuries were severe, especially since the two of them had just fought their way out of the battle formation. To cover Edward Carter's breakout, Samuel Clark and the last twenty or so riders with them had all perished by the riverbank.

Edward Carter poured some clear water into Samuel Clark's parched mouth, which made him feel a bit better. Grabbing Edward Carter's hand, he said, "If we take Suofang City, will our brothers come back to life?"

Edward Carter opened his hand, and a faint yellow flame suddenly appeared in his palm. Samuel Clark looked at the flame and smiled at Edward Carter, saying, "It's only a hundred and twenty li to Suofang City. I can only accompany you this far.

Yezi, tell me, why did a perfectly good world shatter in an instant? Why did so many familiar people disappear overnight? Truly, alive but unseen, dead but no corpse found.

Yezi, why did three Chang'an cities suddenly appear at once?"

Edward Carter sighed and said, "There have always been three Chang'an cities in Guanzhong: one is Han Chang'an, one is Tang Chang'an, and one is Ming Chang'an. The original Han Chang'an has long been abandoned and disappeared, and Ming Chang'an hasn't appeared yet. Now, with the order of heaven in chaos, they've all popped out at once."

"Why?"

Edward Carter sighed and said, "If I said this was all my fault, would you believe it?"

Samuel Clark said, "Yezi, you are indeed impressive, but not so impressive as to conjure up three Chang'an cities at once."

Edward Carter gave a bitter laugh. Many times, what he said was the truth, but no one ever believed him.

Now, he held four strands of imperial dragon qi in his hand. If he could gather one more, he could reverse this chaotic space-time, at least turn back time a bit, and let Henry Benson and the others live again.

That extremely mysterious figure William Carter was absolutely right: travelers from other worlds are the greatest pests in every world.

Edward Carter didn't know what method he alone could use to take Suofang City.

Nor did he know what state Suofang City was in at this moment. If it was an abandoned city, that would be best...

Edward Carter dug a pit in the ground, placed Samuel Clark in it, and covered it with tumbleweed and reeds. He very much hoped Samuel Clark could hold on until he took Suofang City.

As he left, he saw Samuel Clark's hand reach out from the tumbleweed. It was a fist at first, but in the end, his thumb popped out, which gave Edward Carter great comfort.

"Wangcai, let's go—take Suofang City."

Edward Carter rode Wangcai northward, while Samuel Clark's hand never withdrew, like a marker on this wasteland.

When Wangcai started running, it was no longer afraid of the thunder in the sky. At the same time, Edward Carter's mood also relaxed. Whether or not he could take Suofang City, as long as he did his best, it was enough.

Human strength always has its limits, and in this world, eight or nine out of ten things do not go as one wishes.
