Chapter 636: The Battlefield Is Like an Examination Hall

During the Tang dynasty, Hangzhou City was large; the Qian Dao "Record of Lin'an" volume two, quoting the "Record of Nine Regions", records: the Sui Hangzhou City "circumference thirty‑six li ninety bu."

Its circumference is roughly a little more than one third of the Tang dynasty Chang'an City.

However, Hangzhou City was built by Yang Su; because he was not formally trained like Yuwen Kai, and because the original design served military purposes, Hangzhou City has many inherent shortcomings.

The first shortcoming is that the city's ponds are elongated north‑south.

Jun Mori, upon hearing this, couldn't help recalling the Rouran envoy who came during the Jin era, who declared that Xi Lan would not marry Jun Mori, and then humbled himself to assume the title of a side concubine, instantly filling his heart with doubt.

The church belonging to the fallen deity, under the deity's increasingly vague directives, began to contract its influence; not only did it refrain from meddling with the fallen deity's parishes, it also halted development work on the new continent, abandoning some remote outskirts entirely.

Liu Hao walked briskly, just arrived on the corridor and was about to go down the stairs when he suddenly stopped.

Three German‑made Opel trucks led the way, entering the camp first and stopping at the edge of an open space; but that wasn't the most eye‑catching sight. Following the trucks were four iron‑clad combat vehicles—two T‑26 tanks and two CV‑35 tanks—that drove into the camp, drawing most of the attention.

But as soon as Xi Rui set foot on the cloud supporting Sky City, a guard with a skull head supported by a single leg spotted him.

Shui Mu let out a roar, instantly flinging the Feng Lei brothers away, then entered the next stage of transformation of the seal.

After the two left, the Empress furrowed her brows slightly; her phoenix eyes were full of resentment, and she thought to herself: Could it truly be the Emperor's doing? After years of marriage, is this how he treats me?

For two thousand years he was regarded as an elder brother, for two thousand years as a close friend, never once linked with a hypocrite. He was so upright and sincere; the moment he once scolded me as "despicable and lowly!", that was more genuine than any distant reverence.

Especially during this period, Chu Xueru cut off all her informants with a bold stroke, essentially ignoring her, tantamount to declaring war.

… I don't know how to play, please call, and at five thirty drink, I see your request to take a week off, but the wallet won't allow, truly nothing.

Qi Yun, being both the one who summons the Dao to bear witness and the unilateral beneficiary of the Dao contract, finds it relatively easy to dissolve such a Dao contract.

"Mother Wang, Yue Er wishes to atone to you; I, the unfilial child, have not shared a marital bed with Chu Yang these past months," Long Mingyue, upon hearing her mother Wang speak, hurriedly revealed the truth, thinking she had indeed gone too far; one can imagine how much pressure Chu Yang has endured these years.

When Yun Zijin arrived, just as before, he left the Xuan Wang Mansion silently. From start to finish, Hei Xuan never realized Yun Zijin had ever been there.

"Don't think like that; getting into a good university doesn't guarantee a good career; a boy has to forge his own path!" Li Yanyang said.

Yang Hao nudged his subordinates with his mouth, indicating that too many people cause chatter; Qi Qi immediately realized his slip, his expression changed back to normal, and he led Yang Hao toward a spot on the mountain peak.

"Jiu Jie, the brothers are in position," Skinny Monkey glanced at Li Yanyang, dared not greet, and honestly reported.

Seeing this, a chill ran down Jiang Dongyu's back; his perception somehow missed the danger of that arrow. Had Zhang Zhongsheng not stepped in to help, he might have been pierced through.

However, when everyone stared at Yi Juming, they noticed his mouth twitch, and his expression toward Li Yanyang was full of anger.

By then Mu Qiu had already gone far away; she paid no mind to the passersby's chatter, now thinking only of how to sow these seeds. Yet the young master Jian Gongzi, who remained in place, heard the remarks, grew irritated, and headed back home.
