Chapter 764

When Emperor Zheng of the Human Sovereign was still alive, the Xiongnu were a vassal state of the Qin Dynasty, and Touman Chanyu was enfeoffed as "King of Dai" under Great Qin.

The city of Daiyi was his fief, and within it stood the Dai Wang Fu.

The Xiongnu lived as nomads, and nearly all their herders resided beyond the passes.

Their primary area of activity lay a thousand li from the Great Wall, yet Touman's residence was inside Dai Commandery, beyond the passes.

The intentions of the Great Qin court were unmistakable: they had seized Touman to control the Xiongnu from afar.

Thus, the Xiongnu

Zhan Yinfan's face darkened; nursing private motives in his negotiations with his sister, he was caught red-handed by the Jiang family—truthfully, the atmosphere was awkward.

Tang Qianqian blushed, for since joining the company, she had never directly spoken to her team leader or superiors, and she nodded hurriedly.

"Boss, this herb stops bleeding too slowly—is there something more effective? I don't mind paying more, I need it urgently!" the man said.

The aunt who had always attended to Zhan Yinfan clearly understood his intentions. That is to say, Sixth Sister had sensed Zhan Yinfan's designs on her, and thus came to play matchmaker?

Ming Shu's confidence in letting Zhan Kexin leave was clearly rooted in absolute certainty that he could find her. Ming Shu never took risks in matters beyond his control—he always left no loopholes.

Even some second-rate sect disciples who had acted early to seize the treasures now wore expressions of regret, wishing they had waited a little longer before striking.

The elders of the Mingzun Hall all believed that Minghuang would surely favor this Thirteenth Elder, provided he could defeat Minghuang.

Wu Tianbiao swayed, though he did not fall; maintaining this standing posture had drained every ounce of his strength. In the dim night, stars had begun to appear overhead, and a giant man, drenched in blood, with white hair, trembled upon the earth.

The deep blue blade light and the pale green sword light clashed violently in midair! The expected thunderous crash did not come; instead, a buzzing sound, agitating the mind and surging the blood, pierced Lin Huaiying's entire being.

So the moment she regained her composure, Gu Ange immediately stomped hard on Lou Qiu's instep.

"Cultivating the heart?" The Grand Elder's eyes narrowed. After a long silence, he chuckled darkly: "Enough. The Illusory Heaven Realm is about to open—come with me!" With that, the Grand Elder turned and flew toward the Demon Gate.

The massive shadow planted its front paws on the ground, leaned slightly forward, then settled its hindquarters down, its tail—thick as a staff—swaying a few times behind it. Then its head turned slightly, and suddenly spun around; only then did Chen Feng clearly see the beast's face.

"Is that so? Am I beautiful?" Xin Pingyu's eyes flickered strangely, her fingertip lingering as it brushed across Shen Fan's cheek.

At that moment, the Second Prince said again: "Wu Sake, what news from Abuhan Dan?" It turned out someone else had been in the room all along, silent until now, undetected.

Jiang Nuan first held out her thin, stick-like wrist to measure; the red cord wrapped around it three times with plenty to spare, bound in a garish tangle that lacked all grace. So she untied it from her wrist and wrapped it directly around her neck.

"Handle all these matters entirely on your own—I don't want to expend much energy on this," Shen Fan said with a smile after listening to Alantuo's introduction to his future company.

The plane landed at the Royal Hospital. Feng Tianqi, Jiang Yi, and five or six doctors and nurses waited there.

Even if this ever became public knowledge, outsiders would only assume I valued my dignity and chose not to harm this audacious young man.

The dagger traced from behind Lan Zhonglou's ear down to his soft chin; beneath the sliced skin, a dark fluid could be faintly seen surging.

In the Ming Dynasty, official positions included: Left and Right Provincial Governors, Provincial Censors, Left and Right Assistant Governors and Assistant Commissioners of the Provincial Administration, Deputy Censors and Assistant Commissioners of the Provincial Censorate.
