Chapter 204: Branches Spread Wildly

Jin Yong City.

Jin Yong City can be traced back to the Cao Wei period, when Cao Pi built the Baichi Tower, and later, when Cao Rui ascended the throne, he expanded it into a military fortress, forming a small city.

When Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei moved south, he initially stationed his forces within this city.

This city held great strategic significance as one of Northern Wei’s original Four Garrisons of Henan.

Later, as Luoyangcheng expanded, Jin Yong City was correspondingly augmented with two smaller forts, becoming Jia, Yi, and Bing.

Di Luoba saw the tip of Fan Ku’s sword thrust toward his right palm; he snorted, flicked his right hand lightly, abandoning his sweep against Fan Ji. At the same time, his left palm slammed hard toward Fan Ku’s left ribs. If this blow landed, Fan Ku would either die or suffer grave injury.

Jin Qiang was not tall, with jet-black hair and an equally thick, jet-black beard; his face was broad with heavy flesh, and the dense black beard made him look terrifying.

After Lü Xuan left, Liu Yinshan colluded with Yan Changxiao to slaughter everyone inside Youming Cave; this matter was immediately discovered by Liuchan Shangren.

“Your Excellency, I don’t come without cause—I’ve come to ask for your help.” I stated my purpose at once.

In our society, having money alone isn’t enough—you must also have power. You not only need money and power yourself, but you also need a circle of friends who are wealthy and powerful, so you can conduct business with ease.

Qian Duoduo was about to speak when a powerful, thick stream of true qi entered his dantian.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yunfei’s expression grew grim; such a rule was extremely advantageous to the Morgan family.

Therefore, Wen Xin must arrive there early, so that regardless of any unexpected developments or Wen Xin’s own intentions, he can make timely decisions.

“Run five laps around the playground. No rest until you finish. The monitor will supervise.” The instructor said and left.

“Here’s two hundred yuan—just leave me alone, okay? I really can’t hit anyone!” Luo Qingyang’s face turned bright red; he shoved the money into Duan Chengcai’s hands and turned to flee this place of trouble.

“Where is he?” Huan Yan snatched the envelope, trembling as she asked Lin Xiaotang; An Yiming also showed emotion and turned his head.

After all, when Nan Gong Aoxue stood there, her bearing and grace were truly unlike any other martial artist.

“Thank you, Boss. Once my wounds heal a bit, I’ll definitely track down where they are.” Tie She had no doubt about Yingjun’s ability; if this man could help him seek revenge, then from this moment on, his life belonged to his new Boss.

Any adult hearing this sound would know what was happening—but Director, you’re no longer young! Is it really wise to be so passionate!?

“Can you really endure not seeing each other for a month—or even longer!?” Situ Haoyu’s tone brimmed with accusation.

In ancient times, burial customs included the practice of “mouth inclusion”—placing something under the deceased’s tongue. This had two meanings: first, the dead could carry wealth to bribe the Ox-Head and Horse-Face of the Underworld, thus suffering less; second, it symbolized the deceased’s rebirth into a wealthy family.

This outburst stunned the courtesans present and left Yuan Shao momentarily speechless; in this era, no young woman would raise her voice so loudly in public.

Although her experience had already led her to nearly certain certainty, she could not say such a definitive statement.

“Old man, you called me for something!?” Cheng Lingzhi walked straight into the Director’s office without knocking, and as she entered, she called out—half greeting, half demand.

It was as if he had returned many years ago, to the Peach Blossom Lake in the Shence Mansion, teaching Yue Qinghuan sword techniques move by move.

After thinking it over, Hua Yueling shook her head; trying to use the chamber’s mechanisms to force the opponent out was a fantasy. Not to mention the unknown purpose of those mechanisms—she might end up losing the chicken and breaking the pot, trapping herself in danger instead.
