Chapter 172: We Are All Brothers

Pingyang, White Horse City.

Daylight had fully broken; Li Shuang stepped out from the house door, his face looking somewhat haggard.

After several days of persuasion, Li Shuang finally settled the crisis in the rear quarters, restoring harmony to the household once more.

A vast quantity of supplies and personnel traveled along the Fen River from Bingzhou to Pingyang, making this prefectural city of Jinzhou seem somewhat crowded.

Now, between Li Shuang's walled fortress and White Horse City, tents stretched endlessly across the open ground.

Having heard that Li Shuang was entrusted

Li Xianyuan introduced the two; Xue Shao then invited Wu Youji to take a seat and, without beating around the bush, asked directly what had brought him.

"I... I've finished crying." Wang Yu could only straighten his body obediently while kneeling, wiping the tears from his face clean with his sleeve.

"It is his character. There is no mistake!" The more Wu Zetian thought about it, the more her heart felt blocked. Xue Shao had led the Right Guard for so many years that, in the eyes of the Right Guard's men, there seemed to be no state law and no Emperor anymore, only the bond of comradeship, recognizing only Xue Shao and the generals who led them.

"And after that?" Seeing the number of people on the street growing, the two simply found a place with seats, casually ordered a few types of flavored pastries, and waited comfortably.

By the time Yang Ziwan investigated, naturally she could not obtain any useful information. For this reason, Yang Ziwan could only infer from Xu Chen's consistent conduct that he must be from a prestigious family, after all, sons of poor families rarely possessed Xu Chen's bearing.

Now that I think about it, the stance of our group back then was not firm enough; later, when we witnessed under Huluguan those things clearly beyond what an ordinary person could do.

"Whirlwind Slash!" The principal seized a moment to activate the skill card; instantly, two great blades transformed into a sword-storm that directly shattered the two shadow clones.

Lin Dong did not leave this auction empty-handed either; among the final few items, he bid a flat one million, and the deal was struck immediately, with no one competing against him.

"Are you saying that the left path and the right path we took are actually the same road?" This conclusion left the two staring at each other in confusion; two living, breathing people could clearly see, and left and right are always distinguishable.

"Then isn't that extremely unfair to card makers!" Li Mu and Chen Jing, being card makers themselves, felt indignant upon hearing this news.

Moreover, following the Zhou Tian spiritual qi within the meridians, it would finally enter the other party's Illusory Sea, then form a prohibition; at that time, even if Ye Tian possessed abilities beyond measure, he would be controlled by me.

Sikong Changting truly could not contend with her, so he had to admit defeat and agreed to let her continue staying here.

Behind the main courtyard stood a house resembling a woodshed; the windows were all wrapped in black cloth. Inside the house, a single oil lamp burned, its pea-sized flame the only source of light.

However, Ronggui's dejection never lasted more than three seconds; before the words of the previous sentence had even faded, he had cheered up again.

The Imperial Prince Ximen Xue, who had been summoned by the Emperor to enter the palace, heard Princess Rou's words and felt extremely worried; who would dare to have doubts before the Emperor? What has happened to this eldest princess of the Chu Yun Kingdom? Everything has its reason and measure; how could she make such a basic mistake?

Qi Tong then began to criticize Zhu Qianwei for his blind loyalty, saying he was not worth sacrificing his life for a foolish ruler like Wei Xi. "Why must you leave no survivors? She is not a boy," Zhu Qianwei said.

Originally, Chen Yan believed the struggle for the Yongde Imperial City quota would take a very long time, but he did not expect that within a single day, the top ten were decided.

However, though he thought this in his heart, he dared not say it aloud; after all, he was serving Boss Qin.

"When he first stepped into the early stage of the Tonghai Realm, he once entered the trial ground of the Confucian Sect, the Netherworld Space."

Thinking of this, Baiyue quickly left the Ling Wang Fu, immediately prepared his luggage, and rushed to Gu County overnight.

Lian Zhou was slightly stunned by his words. She raised her eyes, her heart filled with a mixture of emotions. Finally, she nodded.
