Volume 1, Chapter 32: Besieging the State of Wei to Rescue the State of Zhao

Zhao Yun galloped across the land, arriving in Dongzhou covered in the dust of his journey. Dismounting, he strode purposefully into the Marquis of Dongzhou’s estate.

Lin Jie nodded; he had long known that joining the Dragon Alliance would eventually require him to serve.

Huang Yuechun brought wine to the restaurant and invited Duan Lang, He Bixiang, Li Xiang, and Yue Lingshan to dine. The table was set with eight cold dishes: four meat and four vegetarian. The meat dishes included spiced beef shank, six-flavor pig trotters, colorful pheasant, and shredded octopus. The vegetarian offerings consisted of refreshing cucumber, osmanthus yam, rose-marinated radish, and a chilled three-shred salad.

Having said this, the old herbalist struck his black bone staff hard against the ground, and the wild wolves at his side followed suit, snarling viciously.

Since ancient times, it has been said that there are three great misfortunes in officialdom: a tall tree attracts the wind, a great reputation invites jealousy, and high achievement threatens one's master.

Inside, there were pavilions and verandas, a murky pond, and a garden where shade-loving plants thrived.

"Empty words carry no weight; let us put it in writing." Driven to this point, Jin Wuque decided to throw caution to the wind. Whether he lived or died, he would face it with the dignity of a man, not the cowardice of a cur.

He only needed to stall for one more day. Once the Moon Goddess’s Dark Moon period passed, whether Lin Yi chose to see him would no longer matter.

Both were capable of instant teleportation, yet Cui Fudao could cross a hundred stars in a single step; such staggering speed made Lin Yi feel the true chasm between them.

Xiao Yu attempted to dodge to the side, only to discover that the nine tails of the Nine-Tailed Fox had sealed off the surrounding space, blocking every path of escape.

Even now, hearing such news, I still find it impossible to remain indifferent.

Pang Kai smiled and said, "There is no rush. Uncle Qian, what tea would you like?" As he spoke, he pressed the service bell.

Jun Yuchen was born a prince; he was no ordinary man. The fact that his brother loved him had once made Zichu feel quite helpless. Yet, looking at the bevy of beauties surrounding Jun Yufeng now, she felt a pang of regret for the long-departed Shangguan Wanyin.

And so, another half-month was spent in this nether realm. For reasons unknown, among the changes of the "Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang," only Pang Kai was capable of learning them.

At this moment, at least a hundred people had gathered before the gates of the City Lord's mansion. Judging by their attire, they were commoners of Black Wing City. It seemed the assassins from the previous night had not gained nothing; at the very least, they had managed to offend every resident of the city.

In the distance, Abith and the others watched the scene closely, but after Liu Liangming plunged his hands downward, the two vortices merely shuddered, showing no further change.

In the history of the National Army, this was perhaps the first tactical seminar where a division commander and a company commander sat together as equals.

Knowing that fine wine and food were being served, and that the ever-approachable Prince Ding and his Princess were the hosts, the crowd continued to grow as news spread.

He looked at Feng Shitian with a puzzled expression, genuinely unable to fathom what she was thinking.

Even now, as I stroll through the "Late Maple Woods" of the Third Prince's estate, the maple leaves of early spring are merely a sparse green. Yet, the images of red maples and white tigers unfurl in my mind like a slow-moving scroll, vivid and exceptionally clear.

Karst topography refers to landscapes where the mountain surfaces have little vegetation, consisting mostly of stretches of bare, protruding peaks.

Only they possessed the ability to cultivate special techniques, allowing them to track down ancient treasures and spiritual relics amidst the desolate mountains and vast marshes.

After much planning, nothing was more exhilarating than the moment Mongoose Shao began his move.
