Chapter 19: He Helps Her

But at a time like this, if you seize Gao Shun’s military authority, won’t that make it obvious that you intend to give credence to all those rumors?

As he gazed at the peerlessly beautiful Diao Chan and listened to her music, Cao Ang began pouring himself drink after drink.

If Chen Deng was right and Lü Bu had allied himself with Yuan Shu, then while Cao Ang marched south to attack Yuan Shu, they could send troops to raid his base.

The trusted soldiers nearby had not expected Yun Lang to dare strike first. Several men charged toward him with cleavers in hand, but just as they drew near, soldiers of the Tiger Guard blocked their way. They dared not take another step forward.

For the past two days, the entire county had been abuzz with rumors about the Laifu Restaurant. A single inquiry from Yun Lang was enough to reveal the truth, and the prices were completely transparent.

Ao Xi asked a colleague to take him to the nearest Dahua Supermarket. He had no idea why Dahua was always running special promotions; everything looked incredibly cheap.

To win this factional war, explorers of lesser strength would most likely hunt down the protagonists while they were still growing, whereas the powerful explorers would choose to hunt the Pillars.

Yet he had keenly sensed that the exchange rate of the dollar was weakening. To solve all these problems, raising interest rates was the only path left.

“Sun Mu, Zhang Yang has sent someone to propose an alliance with me. Together, we can exterminate Cao Cao’s eldest son, Cao Ang.”

But once Lü Bu’s blade fell into the hands of the strategist Chen Gong, it would become far too dangerous for him.

His obese body and face covered in coarse flesh were frightening enough as it was. Coupled with his furious expression, they terrified Zhao Yunxue, who had been preparing to deal harshly with Zhao Ning; she dropped heavily onto the floor.

She was very fond of the old duke. Whenever she visited the Prince Weiyuan’s residence as a child, the old duke not only gave her all kinds of delicious food but also taught her to recognize medicinal herbs. Most of the medical knowledge she possessed had been taught to her by him.

The Bull Demon King seized Lord Tongtian by the collar. With his immense frame, he lifted Lord Tongtian straight off the ground.

Rice Blossom sat beside the old madam and failed to notice the changes in everyone’s expressions. Her gaze kept moving between her third and fourth brothers. After watching them for quite some time, she finally realized what was wrong. Although her third brother looked energetic enough, there was an almost imperceptible sickliness between his brows.

Li Yaoyao stopped asking either of them for their opinion. Holding a torch in one hand and pulling Yue Zhien with the other, she began sprinting for her life.

Even the wife of the Assistant Prefect, who crossed paths with her most frequently, merely offered her verbal compliments and was not close to her.

On the top floor of the building, Sikong Xuan watched the sweetly smiling Shiyu on the surveillance monitor, then glanced at Xie Lin. His expression was dark and gloomy.

Ye Zimo’s eyelid twitched. The man’s posture looked strangely familiar to him. At that very moment, the man spoke.

Having said this, Xue Ying spread her left hand and revealed a bizarre black object shaped like an egg in her palm. The strange object suddenly flew toward Ye Zimo and pressed itself against his chest.

“What story could she possibly have?” Mo Nongmo laughed dismissively, yet sat down around Hui’er as instructed.

Then there was his imperial brother, Emperor Zhaoming. Since the weather was unbearably hot this year, his brother was preparing to leave the palace and spend the summer at the imperial retreat, and had ordered him to accompany him.

This provoked an enormous backlash at the time, to the extent that even a film festival with an excellent reputation was abolished because of it.

Gao Xiang no longer knew what to say. As she looked at Song Wan, a trace of pity appeared in her expression.

Butler Lu reached out and patted Jiuzhu’s cheek. Jiuzhu snorted, and Butler Lu gritted his teeth as he pinched her arm.

Her body was held tightly in the man’s arms, her hands and feet restrained, while his legs pressed down on her thighs. She could scarcely move.

If this measure were implemented properly, it could preserve the imperial foundation’s peace for a hundred years. But if the people were poorly instructed, rumors would spread throughout the populace and shake the foundations of the realm.

Qiao Chu knew that he cared about his dignity and certainly would not make things difficult for her. Just as she was congratulating herself, he suddenly bent down and hoisted her over his shoulder.

Beiming Xie closed his eyes in pain. After taking a deep breath, he raised his gaze and saw Ye Qingcheng take a pill from her bosom and swallow it. Then she slowly began unfastening her brocade robe.

The man in black fell once more. A tangle of branches tore across his cheek, and in his panic, his hand closed around a vine.

Some of the court officials finally understood. The sovereign was not merely planning to remeasure the fields and conduct a new census; he clearly intended to establish a Bureau of Commerce! And as for the Ninth Prince, why did he seem to be involved in everything?

That was the lord of Yunzhou. Now that he had come to Chang’an in disguise, Jia Xu naturally dared not treat him carelessly.

The fiercest fighting was actually taking place in the rear. The casualties on both sides had already exceeded a hundred. The entire banner consisted of only ten companies, each one hundred men strong; by now, half a company had been lost. Since reinforcements could not be obtained under the circumstances, Shi Ke could only take advantage of nightfall to withdraw his troops.

She had just pushed open the door to the changing room when she suddenly heard someone call her. Turning around, she found that it was Lin Yanhao.

Tang Zeng nodded, shifted his gaze away from the distant East Sea Dragon Palace, gently stroked Fatty Two’s head, and nodded again.

Tang Seng waved his hand and refused. “No need. This little matter is nothing. I’m not crippled or anything, so there’s no need.”
