"Accuse me of slander? I'm truly terrified. Do you think you're qualified?" Li Yang found it amusing.
"But we don't have any extra troops now. The forty thousand troops in Fan County and Xindu cannot be moved; they need to guard against the enemy in Luo County. The twenty thousand garrison in Chengdu also cannot be moved, and Li Yi is not obeying orders," Liu Zhang said with distress.
This was a good thing. The power of Xuanmiao was the strength she had always dreamed of. By being corrupted, she could possess this power.
But no one noticed, not even the adults, that her tears had already streamed down her face.
The strength of the Ice Emperor team members had indeed increased, especially the Ice Emperor's doubles pair. Their aura was much more robust than when Qian Ye Yun Chuan had left.
Su Qingjiu was startled, then realized that they were actually shouting at the man in black who was holding her.
Upon entering the Bixi Palace, Wang Suxin, seated in the sedan chair, felt her heart pounding with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. She wanted to lift the curtain to see what the imperial palace looked like, but she was afraid of not knowing the rules and being ridiculed later.
The founding emperor of Great Yan, in his compassion for the suffering of the people, had specifically established such a law. All officials had to abide by it, or they would face dismissal.
The White Bone Tree trembled, and then two branches, like venomous snakes, instantly pierced through the bodies of the two, dragging them up.
Tang Wanjun opened her mouth, about to retort, but after a brief moment of thought, she swallowed the words back.
Suddenly, Chen Nian's left arm snapped off and fell into the sea. Chen Nian and Mu Ziyun were both stunned. Chen Nian, as if nothing had happened, said, "Oh dear, divine retribution again." As he spoke, his left arm had already recovered, indicating that this divine retribution was not severe.
The captain, holding a torch, entered the tent to examine the tear and then found bloodstains outside the tent. His face changed color. The army was encamped in a simple manner, relying mainly on the night patrols of soldiers for security. Now, with assassins slipping into the camp to assassinate the army's counselor, a thorough investigation would reveal that the patrolling officers tonight could not escape blame.
Standing at the entrance of the long alleyway in front of the Northern Commandery Guard Office and looking inside, Lu Zhen felt that this corridor appeared exceptionally gloomy, as if even the warm spring sunlight could not penetrate here. A faint chill emanated, making his steps hesitant and difficult.
"Ordinary people are indeed the foundation of the world. I admit that, but their power is too weak, and they can only form the foundation of the world, can't they?" Su Yi said, clearly not agreeing with Zhou Wutian's statement.
Qi Hao was somewhat reluctant but did not insist. He knew it was not yet time. Qin Yue had only met him a few times, and they were still strangers to each other.
Therefore, the following days were rather difficult for Lu Zhen. Besides handling official business, he had to constantly strategize how to deal with the Kong family's potential offensive, which was an extremely tormenting matter.
Liu Yushan held a thick stack of land deeds, at least twenty to thirty. Jiang Anyi breathed a sigh of relief. With these hidden deeds, he was not afraid of the Earl's mansion and the Li family turning their palms over.
He Rehe of the City Defense Department was once Tu Lezan's bodyguard. Luo Na was convinced that Tu Lezan was behind the incident with Xiangyuhang. Attacking Xiangyuhang was meant to sever her ties with Jiang Anyi. Her third uncle had held too much power in recent years and was becoming increasingly presumptuous in his actions. It was time to rein him in; he shouldn't think that because I stay deep in the harem, I don't pay attention to anything.
Chen Lin initially paid no mind to it, but after calling three consecutive times with a ten-minute interval and still getting the same result, he frowned.
