Chapter 187: Afterglow, the Girl

The procession arrived at this moment, and the commoners, seeing the situation, hurriedly retreated to both sides, bowed, and loudly called out "General Zhe."

Zhe Kuoshi had always been a military official before, but when a Great Song military official reached around the fifth rank, those with great merit or solid backing would be transferred to civil service.

Because military officials could not independently lead troops, a military official's real authority topped out at the fourth-rank assignment, and anything above that was all honorary titles and nominal appointments.

To command troops as a general, or to continue being promoted in assignments, one had to transfer to civil service. In fact, whether during the Zhenzongren Sect era

"What's there to fear? The captain is right here — would they dare do anything to Captain Song?" Tie Jun said indignantly.

Luo Qingqiu waved her hand, stopping him from speaking: "Your master has a Sword Pill here, it's not exactly some rare treasure either — it's been gathering dust for quite a few years. Now is just the right time to bestow it upon you; it will be useful for your future cultivation." Having said that, she took the Sword Pill out from her bosom — it seemed she had been preparing for some time.

After a short while, the disciples in the courtyard's mountain gate arranged themselves into seven long lines according to their respective departments.

Hong Jun felt extremely comfortable, as if in this open-air wind, there was only him and him, and they had completely merged into one.

This spine-chilling demonic sound rang out for a full shichen before stopping, yet everyone was still immersed in terror, unable to recover.

A slight smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and she felt a little regret in her heart — she was only a rough-work Rui Pozi in the garden, so what she could know was limited. If the one the Wangfuren Sect had sent out was her own trusted confidante, then this matter would be beyond all doubt.

Such reality made him utterly despair, yet he was helpless to do anything about it. He could only spend his days washing his face with tears, listless and joyless, guarding that cold palace alone, hoping that one day she might come to see him.

The maidservant deftly held up the door curtain for Yingchun and the others. The moment they stepped inside, Yingchun saw a great crowd of people in my room — at the head, the old matriarch, Lady Xing, Lady Wang, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian as husband and wife, Li Wan, Aunt Xue, Tanchun, Xichun, Yichun, and also Sister Lin and Xue Baochai.

This thought flashed through his mind in an instant, and his memory immediately returned to the time in Xuanyou Wang Cheng. He didn't know what had happened back then, but then the white cat had taken a single arrow-step to shield him in front, and after being struck by something it turned back into a white cat, and afterwards… he had lost consciousness… and still didn't know what had happened?

Yunxiu slipped her hand into her sleeve — on that sleeve cuff was a six-layered flower seal she had patted on in advance.

"All of you shut up! Anyone who doesn't want to learn, get out of here! The college entrance exam isn't far off — if you want to fail, go study with Xia Jiu!" Su Wen furiously slammed the table.

Now he had gone straight to Qi Zihan's station, making the whole station know about it. Even if Qi Zihan had some interest in Chunni, with Chunni's family slapping his face like this, he was afraid he would only be left with hatred for Chunni.

Yu Qiuyu and Song Zhe walked along the road back to the inner yamen. As she walked, she kept thinking about Xun Jialu's matter.

Now, although she and Ye Xuan had long confirmed their feelings, in ordinary daily life she still rarely took the initiative to bare her heart. Words this direct — in the past she absolutely would not have said them.

Although the Emperor did not punish Yu Yifan, he arranged for Zhao Zhichen to serve as the Lingnan Touring Inspector, coming to Lingnan to inspect the work.

"Hmph, I'm not your dad!" the middle-aged man snorted coldly, and directly tossed a card onto the bed.

While asking this question, Yu Qiuyu's eyes stared fixedly at Wuyaying, unwavering, making Wuyaying even more nervous.

Some of the merchants who had also been on the Zijin at the time, upon hearing of this matter, immediately recalled who Ye Xuan was.

The moment her eyes met Mo Jinxi's, she lost the courage she once had, scared into shrinking her neck, her body unconsciously retreating backward. Mo Jinxi's deep eyes seemed like a vortex binding her within, unable to escape her Heart's Thought.

"The Xiliang Cavalry stand ready! Tomorrow once the battle begins, smash through Yuan Shu's formation for me at the very first moment!" Liu Xie said with a solemn expression.

"There probably shouldn't be. According to this subordinate's investigation, in order to regulate the Langzhong main camp, military rations are all distributed monthly; even if there is some surplus, it wouldn't be too much. Earlier Zhang Ren also led ten thousand troops to Jiameng Pass to resist General Huang. Now the Langzhong main camp is probably already short on surplus grain." Wei Yue said with a smile.
