Chapter 130: The Grain Shop Was Smashed
"Esen is invading Zijing Pass! Esen is invading Zijing Pass!"
On the fifth day of the lunar month, just as Xue Rui arrived at the archives and before his tea could even be brewed, he heard shouts echoing through the directorate.
The name Esen was known to everyone in the capital; it was a name so fearsome it could stop children from crying at night. Hearing that Esen had truly launched an assault on Zijing Pass caused the students and officials to erupt in chaos. Zijing Pass was one of the capital's vital lifelines; if it were breached by Esen, the city would be in grave danger!
Xue Rui followed the astronomy students to check the imperial bulletins.
"What do you mean by that?" Du Ziyuan asked, finding her expression rather peculiar; it did not look like fear, but rather a sense of hesitation.
The God of Wealth and Lilithia were also cheering for Feng Muzhao under the stage, experiencing the thrill of being fans.
The Martial Detective Academy was not so easily entered; it was essentially a prestigious school for the nobility, and without a solid family background, one could barely take a step forward.
The matter was of great importance, and Chi Weixuan did not feel entirely at ease leaving it to anyone else, even his most trusted confidants.
He was a frequent visitor to this cathedral and did not believe there was anything of value left in a place Tishina often frequented.
"Fahai..." Bai Suzhen murmured the name, feeling something indescribable, as if they had been entangled in a past life.
The Chen family had begun laying their plans during the chaotic times to reach their current status. Now, because of a lack of caution while working for Prince Rong, they had invited trouble and even implicated Consort Hui, causing her to lose influence in the palace. It was truly a loss that outweighed the gain.
Merchant fleet spirit ships, itinerant traders, and even countless rogue cultivators from the seas... like migratory birds, they gathered at these markets to trade.
In the next second, Zhang Jingyun split the thousand-year-old tree heart. Splitting it in two would surely diminish its effects significantly, and Yan Chixia felt a pang of deep heartache at the sight.
I recently extracted some dream-like memory material from a friend; I couldn't use the visuals, but the sound effects were very clear.
This time, Yun Tianlan felt he had no choice but to speak. He narrowed his right eye and curled the corner of his right lip, half his face wearing an enchanting expression. He leaned down, glancing sideways at Shui Qing.
The United States National Guard, referred to as the Federal National Guard, is an important reserve force for the American armed forces, a key component of the overall U.S. military, and a local armed force subordinate to individual state governments.
Murong Feng did not know that Chen Xing was still alive; he only knew of the existence of Tie Niu, so he was very concerned about Chen Yu. He would rather be a nagging meddler than see Chen Yu repeat the fate of Chen Feng. Firstly, he did not want to see Murong Xue sad, and secondly, he wanted to fulfill his duty as an elder to take good care of Chen Yu on behalf of Chen Xing.
"We don't need him. The three of us will just have to put in two more days of work." Grandfather's anger had not yet subsided, and his fury was still burning.
"Cooperation? From a certain perspective, isn't it just mutual exploitation?" Shui Qing saw no reason to deny it.
"Big brother, who is that powerhouse?" one of the robust young men, clad in fifth-tier fire-bull scale armor, asked while following the direction of the violent wind.
Another earth-shaking shout of "Kill!" erupted. This time, the three thousand NPCs of the Flying Tiger Regiment, seeing their commander take the lead and unwilling to let Wu Jie claim all the glory, followed suit and roared in unison.
I let out a curse and hurried inside. It was chaotic in there; there were more people today than that night, and most of them were quite young. It seemed this place would be discovered by the police sooner or later—or perhaps it already had been, and no one just cared to deal with it.
"Alright! Let's go!" Our group walked along the dark side of the road. Hua Wujie glanced back at me, turned at a corner ahead, and headed toward Brother Yi's KTV.
Indeed, if the Galactic Fleet could occupy the moon, it meant that other planets would be no more difficult to take. After all, the technical problems that had prevented Earthlings from venturing into the solar system had already been solved by the super prodigy.
Even so, everyone looked at him as if he were a monster. Sixth-tier alchemists were already rare, and one so young was even more of a rarity. But to be able to refine so many sixth-tier and fifth-tier pills all at once—he was likely the only one.
