Chapter 705: The Rule of Friend or Foe

The moon was dark and the wind was high, the cold biting to the bone.

Atop the tall and towering walls of Puzhou City, a squad of several soldiers patrolled past the signing room, not daring to disturb the commanding general Ma Lin and deputy general Sun Zhengzhi, who were discussing matters inside.

Ever since Sun Zhengzhi had led his troops back from Zhiguan Pass, the atmosphere inside Puzhou City had become extremely tense.

Tense outside, even more tense inside! The password for entering the city was changed twice a day, the manner of it already no different from being under siege.

At this very moment, the bronze water clock

Jun Muye stared at the screen, his lips pressed into a cold, hard line, his gaze dark and heavy, watching him in icy silence without uttering a word.

Actually, he had wanted to ask about the Mu family's situation for a long time now; a few days ago, Old Master Mu had come here and taken away ten jin of meat.

Jun Mohan elegantly produced a card from his pocket, then placed it on the cat's paw, pointed at it, and let the cat carry it over.

Yet their conversation left Jiang Wuxing completely bewildered—what "returning to one's place," what "Heaven-Slaughter Star"—he hadn't understood a bit of it. At this point, the immortal, however, said quite nonchalantly.

Jiang Wuxing thought to himself, what was all this about? He could only shake his head in response. Just then, the phone rang again—this time it was Fang Siping, who said over the phone that he had found information about the Qiongqi in an ancient text, and told them to come over right away.

Such a vast family enterprise, yet coming from this girl's mouth, it had actually become nothing more than a simple remark about "running a supermarket"?

Jiang Yun heard that at this critical juncture, her only thought was actually to distance herself from her, and she felt a chill in her heart.

Shen Pianxian looked at the smile on the man's face that showed all his white teeth, and suddenly froze.

Seeing Sui Liming like this, the group did not dare to slack off and quickly hid themselves. In the past, everyone would have cracked a few jokes with Sui Liming, but today, Commander Sui's aura was clearly off, so everyone adopted a self-preserving attitude and stayed far away from Sui Liming.

So even though both her legs were protesting, Shen Pianxian was still held by the hand by the man, running desperately all the way.

Having kept her eyes closed for so long, Cong Xi didn't know for the moment whether she should open them directly in front of Xiang Xinglan and pretend to have just woken up, or... or should she feign it a little, wait until Xiang Xinglan left the room, and then slip away?

The people from the Ping'an Town police station arrived at Shangzhou Village in the afternoon, wanting to take Wu Lianhua and Tan Yuehua away directly, drawing a crowd of onlooking villagers.

A bloody head flew shooting outward, and the members of the Lei family turned pale, their pupils contracting to the size of pinpricks.

When the two met, Shuying was somewhat surprised, knowing that Lin Lan had not been at home lately, and had even asked her for help.

He then sat on the bed opposite Meizha, the two looking at each other, neither saying a word. Lin Lan felt the room seemed a bit hot.

Chu Ning urged the horse onward into the distance. The horse reared up its front legs and let out a high neigh with a "yuh," as a parting gesture.

Songxi Port was extraordinarily bustling. Inside a luxurious hotel, many people dressed in white work uniforms were busy at work.

Indeed, normally when she video-called them, she wouldn't say she had dressed up specially, but she wouldn't look like this—sloppy, with hair as messy as a bird's nest.

The top floor had a half-wall, generally only reaching waist height, so you could still see and meet the neighboring house next door.

His mother's sudden departure had always been the deepest fissure in Liang Ye's heart. He also knew there was a reason for Ye Qing's leaving, but even now, he still hadn't been able to find out what it was.

Now, whether in the military or among special agents, many people already knew of Liang Ye's identity and the things he had done.

This time, El Carlos was no longer in a playful mood. The laws of darkness continuously gathered—he had already decided to completely crush Miranda in a single strike.

Luo Qimo collapsed onto the bed. In the pitch-black room, she stared at the ceiling, slowly turned over on the bed, and sank into inner turmoil.

But after talking with Qin Yu just now, her polite manner still left a deep impression on her.

Helian Yuan choked, his eyes looking at her with displeasure tinged with a trace of grievance, which made Yan Luo'er immediately unable to bear it.
