Chapter 65: The Division of Northern and Southern Forces

In the summer of the 30th year of the Shutian Calendar, a new batch of grain carts and soldiers entered Heavenly Wing City. The newly arrived officers, originating from the core clansmen of the Wu family, entered the main camp only to hear an accent vastly different from their hometown dialects echoing throughout the encampments. Upon paying their respects to Wu Hanluan, they discovered that even the speech of Wu Hanluan's son, Wu Hengyu, had been influenced by those outsiders.

As one of the direct descendants of the Wu family army and a cousin of Wufeitang, having done miscellaneous duties and ventured beyond the passes during the Battle of Yongji Pass—

Lin Yichen was stopped by Lian Yi, and glancing into the VIP lounge where she was, he did not find the other two men.

Normally at this hour, Professor Zhai should already be in the laboratory. This was an almost unbreakable routine; nothing could ever make Professor Zhai break the rule, and in the medical school, she indeed possessed both the capability and the qualification to do so.

Xuanyuan Sanfeng's fingers froze in mid-air, his face filled with reluctance and heartache, which then morphed into sullen melancholy and gloom.

However, right at the brief moment of Shen Qian's pause—a moment so unremarkable on ordinary days, yet one that could allow a person to accomplish many things on a battlefield—the burly man in front of Shen Qian drew a dagger and stabbed it toward her.

The next day, the two of them took a car to the provincial capital early in the morning, rented a vehicle, and set up an ambush outside the provincial department.

When getting off work, he even specifically bought a bottle of Maotai to gift to Brother Lai as a parting present.

"Don't worry, I think that werewolf probably isn't in the vicinity anymore. It seemed to just be passing by here by chance last year," Alan comforted Alyssa when he saw she was a bit nervous.

Taking advantage of the flood, they intentionally sabotaged the dam, disregarding the lives of the common people just to drive You'er to her death.

This indeed was the purpose of Zhang Wangyou's visit. Zhao Wanning certainly wouldn't listen to what he said, but Jiang Baizhi said that Zhao Wanning would very likely accept it.

In the pitch-black night, Li Ziyou insisted on getting up to see her off. Even though her legs felt weak, she persisted in helping Lu Jingmo put on her outer garments.

Given Zero's personality, on the premise of knowing full well that trouble might occur inside, he would never allow anyone else to enter. Therefore, the only one who went inside was himself.

He was shaking with anger. His two children, the two dearest treasures of his heart, had actually been schemed against by these people from the very start.

At this point, unaware of what image crossed his mind, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he actually did not dare to meet the gaze of the Senior Sister before him.

To say the house was the best-built was merely to say it was constructed with bluestone bricks and sealed at the top with roof tiles.

Over there, Luo Tian had already subdued Pei Ling, and amidst the latter's resentful gaze, he slowly raised his palm.

The giant octopus drifted along with Wangyue's flute, stopping and going, and along the way even wreaked havoc on several large sharks. Wangyue had no idea where its destination was, let alone why it kept relentlessly chasing after him, so he could only follow along to see what it was all about.

Even with an imperial plaque bestowed by the emperor, if Magistrate Chi wanted to find trouble for his family, he could do so with absolute certainty. Before the eldest brother could even come to rescue them, they might end up being driven out of Yangshui County with nothing left to their names.

Although Long Zhesheng did not directly state his unwillingness, that final phrase—what could be the intention—clearly expressed his dissatisfaction.

The traffic police detachment's accident-handling vehicles and fire engines finally arrived. The firefighters pulled out water hoses and began extinguishing the fire, while a rescue team quickly rushed to the sides of Li Hong, Qin Feng, and the driver whom Qin Feng had rescued from the car, promptly saving the three of them from the accident scene and transferring them to a safe place.

Zuo Zongtang observed every detail of Zhang Liangji's predicament after taking up his post in Wuchang, and had already foreseen that the title of Governor atop Zhang Liangji's head would not last long. Should any matter be mishandled, an imperial edict would be handed down, and Zhang Liangji would be forced to leave Hubei immediately—either to lead troops or to be demoted.

A faint smile curved the corners of Shen Yu's lips. She gave the two of them a meaningful look before walking straight toward the bed, stopping Cha Cha from getting down: "You are with child, why bother with empty courtesies?" Her words were filled with genuine care.
