35 Traveling to the Middle Ages 035

Thus, even if the two men came face-to-face, Song Xinyi would recognize Liu Fuquan, while Liu Fu would not recognize Song Xinyi.
If he were truly driven into a corner, he would no longer care about his reputation. He would simply set fire to the mortuary hall and wipe everyone out.
In the end, the dignity of the Imperial Father-in-Law could not withstand the threat of a sword at his throat. He never received the Holy Emperor’s protection, either. The entire household donned mourning clothes, and Xiao, the Imperial Father-in-Law, personally helped carry the coffin into the residence, where it was to remain for three days.
Compared with the Immortal Banquet in Qingzhou in previous years, this year they had truly witnessed a spectacle the likes of which had never been seen before.
Once you are within the first thousand, each challenge will be limited to the first hundred. Do not aim too high.
“Impressive! Impressive!” the children exclaimed, praising Li Changqing loudly and without the slightest restraint.
Then he vigorously rubbed his eyes, as though he had witnessed something utterly unbelievable. He simply could not bring himself to believe it.
After the main gate opened, Yuan Dahai entered the courtyard first. The light inside was so dim that he could not make out the furnishings. Distracted for a moment, he collided with a water jar, producing a loud clatter.
Chen Yuting’s request made Yuan Dahai’s eyes light up. He thought to himself that this man really knew how to play the game—he had actually thought of using Yuan Dahai to gain access to Wei Zhongxian in such a short time.
But that was only wishful thinking. If he truly walked away just like that, the money would be the least of his concerns. What would happen to Gu Zhong, Li Tiehan, Li Xueqing, and the others? He shook his head helplessly. He bent down, kissed Liang Wei on the forehead, then turned and walked out of the ward.
Before long, Lu Erhu and Xie Fang arrived by car at a vacant plot of land in the outskirts. The rocket artillery position had already been set up. Four gun barrels stood side by side, mounted on the rear of a truck and angled toward the front.
“Going to the capital? The eight o’clock train? You’re not flying?” Chen Meifeng stared blankly. Chundu was more than a thousand kilometers from the capital, and she had not had the energy for such a long journey by car in many years.
Qiao Rumeng knew martial arts, and far too many men had suffered at her hands. With a swift movement, she pulled her hand away before Xue Youdao could touch her.
His suspicions were entirely unfounded. Ji Yong opened the iron box, took out a black metal plaque covered in patches of rust, held it in both hands, and respectfully presented it to Liu Yingkun.
Although she had immense confidence in her own strength, even a god would find it difficult to fight many opponents alone.

The ever-serious and conscientious Earl Herbert was so excited that his hands trembled slightly. He stared intently into the other man’s eyes and asked involuntarily,
Li Zaixian froze. He did not know who the man was and was still guessing at his identity when he saw the secretary whisper something to him before pointing toward Li Zaixian.
Jimei Ru seemed to be quite familiar with the foreigner. After chatting for a while, the two even exchanged the cheek-kissing greeting customary abroad. Seeing this, Ahu nearly went berserk and wanted to twist the foreigner’s head off.
However, he had made inquiries indirectly before. Shen Zhiyou’s husband had never attended university. He was a country man who had merely happened to join the army later and earn a military distinction.
The head of the Seven-Star Fist Sect had no desire to entangle himself with Zhu Chengcai. He gave a cold snort, turned around, and walked toward the door.
The raucous voices and filthy subject matter drew Liu Qi and the others’ attention once more. They discovered that it was still the same group of men at the table they had noticed earlier.
It was like winning the lottery but failing to claim the prize. No matter how large the winnings were, until they were collected, they never quite felt like one’s own money.
Zuo Kaiyu arrived at the entrance of the guesthouse. A short while later, Chen Tianlai’s private car brought Wang Siying there, after which the driver departed.
Earlier, Chu Ling had found it strange. Even though what he had done had indeed crossed the line somewhat—the intention to win people over was obvious, and anyone who learned of it would inevitably become wary—it still should not have made Xu Hui react like that.
But the rope-ladder mechanism had already started, slowly raising them until they reached the mouth of the fissure.
The two of them seriously discussed how they should train after getting married. The aunts eavesdropping behind them rolled their eyes.
“Here!” All four men descended. Remembering Tian Feng, Liu Fan summoned the steward and ordered him to send Tian Feng some tonics and a reward.
Thinking this, he secretly snorted. While cursing himself for being so inept, he also denounced those unscrupulous merchants under his breath and took a step to leave. Suddenly, a burst of commotion came from behind. Deep, resonant shouts were mixed with sharp feminine cries, immediately prompting Gu Luo to turn around curiously.
After the defeat at Fiend Ridge Mountain, the battle had dealt the Thunder Fiend Heavenly King a devastating blow. Unwilling to accept defeat at the hands of the Tang imperial army, he continued to station four generals—Thunder Fiend Dragon, Slaughter Fiend Dragon, Cloud Fiend Dragon, and Rampage Fiend Dragon—at Thunder Fiend Mountain to block the enemy.
“But what are we supposed to do? Our camp was hastily thrown together and is hardly fortified at all! I doubt we can hold it for even a day. How are we supposed to withstand the Champion Marquis’s advance?” Cheng Yi said.

“Everyone, check your ammunition and prepare for the next battle.” The soldiers still able to move began gathering ammunition across the position.
“What’s so special about that?” Old Qian’s voice held little regard. “I already explained it to you. Forging techniques are generally only valued below the Diyin level. Before a true expert, these methods are hardly worth mentioning.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Fan, Jia Xu, and Tian Feng burst into laughter. Dian Wei stood there at a loss. Liu Fan patted his sturdy shoulder and said, “E Lai, you’d better stick to drilling the troops.”
With that, Liu Fan walked away first.
“Now? Who knows what kind of training they’ll have waiting for us later! We should take the opportunity to get some proper rest!” Kaisen said.
Xiao Wei thought Kaisen made sense and said nothing more.
Qian Sheng gave a faint smile. He was not at all overbearing; after all, the Jing Fiend Sect’s territory now belonged to the Vault of Heaven Hall.
Yet she was actually willing to be his sky, the sky above his mother, and the sky above his children—to shield them from every trouble and sorrow, protect them, and love them forever.
Cheng Jinzhou rubbed his eyes and emerged from the room in his slippers, looking as though he had only just woken up.
A vivid crimson streak of blood appeared across Jun Wuji’s hand. Bright red blood flowed freely, scorching the hearts of the Three Young Masters like molten iron.
Inoue Yinghui was thrown onto the couch. Her pistol fell to the floor, and after letting out a scream, she was instantly left dizzy and disoriented, with the world spinning around her.
However, as for the secret of Jian Han’s resurrection, Fang Qinghan would never admit it, no matter what.
In an instant, the power of the great formation began spreading through the area, and the weaker beastkin were refined away on the spot.
Once the squads had assembled, Ren Laifeng looked at the soldiers and, for the first time, conceived the idea of forming an engineering corps. Naturally, that would have to wait. At present, he had neither the time nor the means.
“March!”
Ren Laifeng waved his hand, and the soldiers filed out of the military camp.
