Chapter 63: Chaos in the Realm
In the 30th year of the Garrison of Heaven Era, although the offensive of the State of Guo and Tai at the intersection of the three northern prefectures had stagnated, order in the north deteriorated rapidly. Bandits and rebels sprang up everywhere.
The earlier series of bold sorties by the general of Guo and Tai (Zhao Cheng) resembled a desperate struggle for survival rather than anything else, just so he could catch his breath.
Therefore, now that the strategic situation had slightly improved, they began to seek stability.
Such a smooth and effortless transition from a roving bandit dispersal tactic to a cumulative strategy of "building high walls and storing up grain everywhere."
"Dian Wei, hold on for a moment. Doubtless the strategist still has something to say. It will not be too late to speak after the strategist has finished his words," Zhao Yun dissuaded from the side, stepping in.
As he spoke, Lu Beixia took a cup of fresh red plasma from the cabinet of the tavern and placed it in front of Wuling.
Fortunately, the inner soul of Leng Mochen had already been replaced; otherwise, not only would this have been enough to drive someone to fury and frustration, but there was also no telling when he might have been murdered by someone without even knowing how he died.
"How annoying, cackle! How many times do I have to tell you, you need to call me Mother Fran," Furan said with a smile, cupping her face in one hand.
On the morning of the 17th, the Ministry of the Navy, the Ministry of Finance, the General Armaments Bureau, and the Naval General Staff held another joint meeting. The main topic of the meeting was the revision of the shipbuilding plan.
Old Dao was also immensely excited. At his age, he had no great pursuits left for anything else, but when it came to martial arts and cultivation, those were what he valued most. Now, looking at Lin Feng's momentum, it seemed as though he was about to elevate his cultivation for him. How could Old Dao not be excited?
"Humph... No matter who tries to stop me now, it will not shake my determination to act!" A trace of impulsiveness surfaced in his eyes. Having discerned the contents contained within this energy, Wuling was all the more resolved not to leave this place. Next, he was determined to thoroughly investigate the truth here.
In terms of terrain, if there were any land-based threats, under normal circumstances they could only come from two directions: the northern plains and the southwestern forest.
Originally, Cai Feng really was bursting with suppressed anger. Because these past few days, while training these subordinates—these temporary workers—they failed to satisfy him and frequently made mistakes, angering him into roaring with fury and cursing every single day.
However, all these negative emotions vanished like smoke upon his resurrection. Coupled with a colorful world and an incomparably attractive celestial cultivation system, it completely set his spiritual world ablaze.
You was sweeping the large courtyard, wondering why Yang Ying had come to the Ye Family Village. Too lazy to pursue the question, he knew that asking would be a waste of breath.
At the very least, the only thing that could be known was that the person who would threaten Ouyang Yu in the future was a middle-aged man. Even if he did not know who this person truly was, at least it was someone Ouyang Yu had definitely seen before; he just needed to keep his guard up in his heart beforehand.
Han Yiyi gasped sharply, immediately pulling Mu Chenzhou back, her brow twitching as she forced herself to breathe as lightly as possible.
Yuan Nala did not dare to speak. Although she had never intended to take Su Yunyun's life, she could only say that Su Yunyun had offended someone she should not have crossed. That person had anticipated this outcome from the very beginning and had even bribed Yuan Nala, all for the purpose of making Su Yunyun vanish without a trace during this program.
Are there really no missions left? Impossible, isn't it? How could a sect as large as the Immortal Sword Sect stop issuing all missions within a single day? Could it be that the operation was about to collapse?
[Such a fool!] Xuan Mo glanced sideways at Lantian, cast a look of utter disdain at him, walked over to the pile of bone powder, and raised its paw, pressing it right into the bone powder.
Mr. Tree was slightly stunned. His face was a walking name card, unimpeded wherever he went.
Dressed in a traditional long gown and horse jacket of moderate build, he looked utterly out of place with modern attire, yet somehow harmonious.
After finishing, Ouyang Yu looked at his senior sister with eyes full of reluctance. This gentle senior sister treated him just like a younger biological brother, filling Ouyang Yu's heart with deep emotion.
Although this side of her made Tang Xize somewhat unaccustomed, an inexplicable warmth welled up in the depths of his heart.
