Chapter 199: The Mirror Is Not Far

The news that General Er Zhu Rong had enthroned Yuan Ziyou as emperor quickly reached Luoyang.

Almost simultaneously came the news that General Er Zhu Rong was heading south, planning to attack Beizhongcheng.

Inside the Luoyang palace, Hu Hou sat on the imperial throne holding Yuan Xu's daughter, listening to the discussions of the ministers below, but her mind was entirely elsewhere.

At this moment, Hu Hou felt some regret.

She had wanted revenge, but in the end she was still hoisted onto the great machine of power in Luoyang,

But when it actually came down to implementation, especially as the Xiping Lake and the entire northwestern farmland irrigation works were gradually completed, they discovered that paddy fields were actually not so troublesome—as long as water was guaranteed, along with some fertilizer and rice seedlings, opening up paddy fields was not as difficult as everyone had imagined.

"My strength has grown stronger, and there's also an extra Seed of a Savage Origin here." Chi Yuan pointed at his own divine mansion.

On the central route, Chi Dakui's Third Battalion had already advanced to within 300 meters of the Japanese positions, while the two flanks were assigned to Qi Guangyuan's First Battalion and Dong Shengtang's Second Battalion.

"Why must the two of you quarrel? Today it was my fault. Captain Venom Dragon, I offer you my apologies here." The general of Thorn Moon Kingdom knew that Venom Dragon had been angered by his own actions; in truth, he too harbored great hopes for the Dragon Slayer Warrior troop, after all the Dragon Slayer Warriors were also a very famous soldier legion.

Tang Chen had no way to stop it, nor could he stop it—that damned Qiankun Ring drowned out the plans in his heart.

"President Xingchen, how does one obtain the Pirate Crystal?" After the trade with the NPC failed, Spade could only turn to Xingchen for help.

More than two hundred meters from the door, Zhang Yi laid out the entire plan and divided up the tasks; the veteran members' faces all changed drastically, feeling it was too risky, while the new members were rubbing their fists and itching to have a go.

Without a doubt, Dugu Jue's strength had already exceeded their expectations, almost reaching the level of half-step Human King realm.

The Lord of Anshui on the side, however, did not have the relaxed expression that Cheng Buyun had; even though Cheng Buyun had made no move whatsoever, his expression was extremely wary, guarding against any possible developments.

Endurance, Amplification, and other Light-series magics were the bread and butter of Light-series mages; a team with a powerful Light-series mage could multiply its combat power several times over.

She even somewhat suspected that beyond considerations of safety and stability, perhaps Song Li was also thinking of taking the chance to grab a share for himself?

The hall was already quiet to begin with; though Huoling Feng's voice was not especially loud, it still let everyone present hear him clearly. Huoling Feng's meaning was very obvious—to push everything onto Qin Tian'ao, both explaining why this banquet was being held at the Lian Prince's Manor and laying the groundwork for everything that would follow.

Gu Li's disappearance was a mystery; at that time none of them had any idea where Gu Li had gone—he had vanished inexplicably.

Bai Shaozi rarely wore such a contented smile; Wu De was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart, although this Noble Consort was a bit dim.

Qing Hong laughed softly, a head of black hair swaying in the wind: "If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it." She shrugged helplessly, peach-blossom eyes gleaming with soft light, her face the picture of innocence as she spoke.

This time Bai Mozhi could not endure it, nor could he endure it: "Tang Tang, if you don't put Your Majesty in a better mood today, I will definitely not let you see tomorrow's sun." He had spoken harshly.

Although Xuanyalan could not stand Nate's inquisition, every day she would still go tease Nate, then set herself on fire; even she felt she was a bit abnormal, as if she had fallen in love with this kind of life.

Some Grandmasters also could not stand listening any longer, but when they tried to retort, for the moment they did not know what to say.

In just a single exchange such a fierce shockwave had erupted; the crowd's excitement boiled over. To see such a brilliant showdown in merely the preliminaries was something they had never expected.
