Cao Jiu was roused from sleep and could hardly believe his ears. By the time he ran to the city wall, the Qin army’s scaling ladders were already against the ramparts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, she felt as anxious as if preparing to set up her first stall—she had no idea what the future held or what might happen. Xin Yi upended all the bamboo tally sticks from the fortune cylinder onto the table, wiped away the dirt and grime with a damp cloth, and counted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether he found the police station’s air stale or for some other reason, he took several deep breaths before turning and getting into the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the fourth watch, the Chu camp stirred violently. Sima Xin led a force of ten thousand Qin soldiers serving as cooks, carrying pots, pans, and bowls, embedded within the central army. The vanguard consisted of Cao Jiu’s twenty thousand cavalry. Zhang Han, held as a hostage, followed Xiang Yu at the rear to deter Qin pursuit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Da nodded—he understood that “men die for wealth, birds perish for food” was an eternal law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Horns blared; Zhou Bo led a cavalry unit toward Li Shang on the right flank. The two formidable forces crashed together, instantly spraying blood and mist into the air. Men fell, horses overturned, screams and howls filled the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled—though you didn’t see it. Blood trickled down my lip like a wriggling worm, making me feel uneasy. I tried to raise my hand to wipe it, but realized my arm had grown stiff and immobile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This posture lasted only three breaths; after three breaths, the eight swords suddenly merged into one, overlapping completely. That single sword emitted no aura whatsoever—like an ordinary blade of qi—yet occasionally it exhaled faint threads of destruction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Five warhorses galloped over a dozen zhang, all overexerted and nearly collapsing, dragging long trails of blood behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can trust me—I’ll be there on time, every single one. Chances to feast off the rich don’t come often,” Liu Hai said without a hint of modesty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To most people, this would sound like a love confession; from Huo Jidu’s mouth, it carried unmistakable dominance, like a solemn vow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I reached the classroom door just as the bell rang; Li Yanyan and her sisters didn’t catch up, so I was temporarily safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Jidu swiftly swept his arm across, pinning me tightly beneath the quilt, leaving me utterly immobilized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I smiled warmly and greeted the Rong family, though they gave me no friendly looks—it didn’t spoil my good mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the towering skyscrapers surrounding the park, the offices frequented by major shareholders inside the compound were built in Jiangnan garden style; walking through them, you’d never guess you were in a corporate zone—you’d feel as if on a leisurely vacation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a week, Yan You came home each night, bathed, and collapsed into bed immediately, missing several calls from Mo Yishen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ke Jexi’s efficiency was indeed impressive—the external photography crew and equipment were already ready.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie’s mother glanced down at her, saw the exhaustion on her face, and said nothing further, murmuring an acknowledgment before guiding her inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clenched my fist and swung with full force; Nie Zhuoge was knocked sprawling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Hao, Zhou Shan, Tai Youqian—ranked third, fourth, and fifth!
