Chapter 239: The Prefect of Kaifeng, the Military Governor of the Eastern Capital (Begging for Monthly Votes)

In the blink of an eye it was already the twenty-seventh of the twelfth lunar month, and Jingcheng was filled with a festive atmosphere.

This year was different from the past; the court had taken the field abroad, expanding its territory, carving out a piece of land equivalent to more than half of Western Xia.

Although such matters brought little real benefit to the common folk, and war even exhausted the people and drained the treasury, a strong nation breeds strong citizens, and strong citizens bolster the nation's might — the two reinforced each other.

When the court ruled the six extremes and received tribute from all directions, governing the vassal states, the common folk would straighten their backs and speak with confidence.

He could not imagine what would happen if his identity were exposed, but one thing was certain: he would never be able to leave this place for the rest of his life. No matter how formidable a person was, he could not fight an entire army, let alone in a place like Base 51.

Right now the most important thing was time; no one knew how long the magical beasts' slaughter would last — perhaps a long while, or perhaps it could end at any moment.

Xue Ming glanced at Gu Lao, yet the aura around him did not dissipate; a thick killing intent surged forth, as if it could erupt at any moment.

Still, his expression remained wary, because in the perception just now he had felt something off — when the fist struck his body, he sensed an unusual feeling, as if the blow had landed on something hard.

That's right, every rogue who knew this man's abilities sighed with the same sentiment upon hearing the news of his release from prison.

Sherazard laughed and said: "Looks like Joshua is already getting impatient. Well then, let's head to the Orbment Workshop for the next exam!"

At this moment, Ling Xiao was glad he had transferred the beauty cream and some research-related materials away. Had he not done so, and the police had taken those important things away under the pretext of investigation, who could he complain to?

Legend upon legend gathered into the myths unique to China, an entire immortal system fully unveiled, and one could not help but sigh at how vast and profound it all was.

First was the manufacture of the machine tools — materials, processes, logic — not a single layer could afford the slightest error.

The four had originally planned to arrive early, but ended up being held up for quite a while by a streamer who was genuinely drunk.

After this, the bride's parents' opposition grew stronger and stronger, so she decided to go all in, married directly, and made the rice into cooked porridge — fait accompli.

Two mid Foundation Establishment cultivators had come, showing that the person behind this was also determined to take Yu Shu's life.

Hearing this, Ning Ye was already gnashing his teeth; if he had any strength at all right now, he truly wanted to kill those two damn fellows on the spot.

But she also did not want to have too much interaction with Bo Jinshen — that would easily expose her — so she nodded and hurried out.

After Zhou Fan went in, he explained his identity, then produced a medical report.

Lin simply floated up, her bottom not touching the ground, barely poking out a head, then braced both hands on the table, and nodded.

"As for the inner disciples, we'll have to count on Junior Brother Ye. You've been in the inner sect for so many years, you should have some connections, right?"

Jun Moshang felt her fingertips trembling, as if something were hidden in her palm. He smiled. The lamplight fell, bathing his stern, handsome face in a fine, scattered sheen.

When spring of the forty-third year of the Xia calendar arrived, the ice and snow in the North Sea had still not fully melted by the fourth or fifth month, so Wang Rui began leading the vanguard out — after all, the distance from She Diao City across all of Xianbeilia to Taixi Continent was a full ten thousand li, and they needed to plan ahead.

Sai Huatuo suddenly yanked his hand back, making the iron chains clank loudly, then patted his belly.

Seeing this, Liu Jun was stunned; he hadn't expected Li Yang to be a trained fighter, and a skilled one at that. By instinct he immediately switched moves, changing from a grappling hand to a military-style boxing technique, throwing a punch at Li Yang's head.

Yet this rough, plainly dressed big man somehow drew a look of genuine respect from Li Tan, the current boss of the Left Gang, who personally poured him a full glass of red wine.
