Chapter 444: A Father's Intuition

Seeing his daughter say nothing, Old Mu suddenly said, "Is it that beast Zhou Guicheng?"

Mu Feiyan's eyes went wide, staring at her own father in disbelief.

"Looks like I guessed right." Old Mu said softly.

His expression was extremely complicated.

"You… you've known all along?" Mu Feiyan asked somewhat haltingly.

Old Mu shook his head and said, "Before, it was only my guess."

Mu Feiyan was very curious, Old

"Here's the plan—in a bit, the brothers will quietly surround this city. Don't open fire yet, wait for my command. Once the moment is ripe, we'll trap them like rats in a cage!" As Liu Jincheng spoke, the brothers below brimmed with fighting spirit, and this troop seemed to come alive in an instant.

Two soldiers pulled a thick, heavy rope, covered with sand and dirt on top. The moment their cavalry arrived, a tug of the rope would send those horses tumbling headfirst into the mud. And they might even capture a whole cavalry battalion without firing a single shot.

After the State of Jin, who knows how many years passed in between, but at the very least the ancient Dian Kingdom did exist during the same period. With that in mind, it's truly hard to say what connection there might be between them. The world is vast, full of wonders; vast and rich in resources, mysterious and brimming with endless color.

"How to find the chance to poison them, I don't need to spell it out, do I?" I pressed my face close to Bai Shaoqi's terrified face and said with a wink and a nudge.

Thinking this way, she cheered herself up—at the very least, she'd gotten a million, enough to solve her pressing financial need.

"Qinghan, let's split into two cars. Both cars are heading to the airport." I suggested to Qinghan.

Now the three veterans could really cut loose, each striking a fighting stance. Wu Gang still used his usual skill, balanced between offense and defense, his sharp eyes observing his opponent's moves, searching for breakthroughs and weak points.

But this was something she couldn't explain clearly to the others, nor could she describe what toxoplasma was. Still, this cat might just be a great help to her.

Among the dozens of weapons, a bronze mask and a black long spear caught Jiang Yi's eye as extraordinary.

Yet relying on his own innate talent, he had painstakingly figured out a method to cultivate the golden liquid, which showed his comprehension was far from ordinary.

"Oh ho, look at that—the moment I mention a fight with me, you puff right up. Alright, what's the way we're doing this?" Zhuo Bufan said with a grin, blinking his eyes.

"I know you're a man? So what?" Leng Qiu said, baffled, wondering why Situ Yi would say such things.

Xiao Xiang nearly popped her eyeballs out in shock—there was actually someone like this??? He would actually offend the most favored Princess of the Great Tang over a mere bottle of fruit juice?

She was no refined soul, yet today she imitated Daiyu burying flowers. If her old friends saw this, they'd surely laugh till they couldn't catch their breath, but at this moment she found it perfectly normal. Perhaps when the environment changes, people change too.

Again that familiar feeling flooded her mind. She didn't remember anything from before transmigrating, but the sensation of holding a blade was deeply familiar. Could she have been a pig slaughterer?

Actually, this detail Ah Ye had heard from others, and had also seen Ah Rong carry needles on her. When she happened to meet a sick person on the street, in urgent moments she would give them acupuncture to ease their ailment, so Ah Ye had brought this up.

A glint flashed in Cheng Xinyan's eyes, her heart stirred slightly, the corner of her mouth twitched faintly, and she nodded and stepped toward Situ Xiangyu.

Cheng Xinyan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but when she looked up she saw Di Yanyi watching her with a thoughtful expression, and the heart she had just set down rose again.

For a minister, what matters is not what you want to do, but what the Emperor wants to do. If you go along with the Emperor's wishes, even if other matters are botched, the Emperor will help cover for you; if you don't go along with the Emperor's wishes, even if you've achieved unmatched merit, the Emperor may not be pleased.
