Cao Cao resolved on a plan to drown Xiapi; Cao Xin was startled by tidings from Yingchuan.

In the fourth and fifth months of the year, Huainan County gradually slipped into a rainy season. A misty drizzle wound itself around the willows along the riverbank, soft and dreamy as spun cotton.

Cao Xin had just returned from inspecting the New Farming Estate. Riding to the county office, he saw Jia Xu sitting by the lake with a fishing rod made from a green bamboo root, leisurely angling with complete ease.

Cao Xin laughed aloud and strode toward him.

"Wenhe, what a fine mood you are in today. Shall we play a game of go?"

"No, no, no, no."

Jia Xu hurriedly shook his head.

It was not as simple as a mere change in the weather, Wu Fei had said. There was something truly strange about it. He was a Daoist, able to view things from a different perspective; what he was thinking, only he himself knew.

Xiao Yun'er was speechless. According to him, Grandfather and Helan Jin had left Ling Feng behind and run back here.

As he spoke, he used the flat bottom of the pan to scrape at the mud again, telling me that although he still had not reached the bottom, there was probably a glass recess built into the inside of this wardrobe. If the entire glass recess were taken out, everything would be seen clearly.

There are many people who may never enter a police station in their entire lives; more accurately, many people never step into an interrogation room at all.

At least she had put on her clothes and arranged her hair into a bun before ordering someone to call for A Xing. She was young and slept more soundly than I did; after the maid called for her several times, no one dared to call again.

The Witch Crane Beast blinked its triangular eyes in confusion and shook its head. It let out a soft cry, unable to help.

Several elders glanced at Chu Yuxi's expression, exchanged looks, and nodded. Clearly, only family discipline would do.

Yet she was tormented by indecision: on one hand, she loved Fourteen with all her heart; on the other, she hated him to the bone. On one hand, she envied Rose; on the other, she remembered the kindness between master and servant. Often she dreamed that she stood at the edge of a cliff, before her a bottomless black pool, behind her a sky-filling blaze of roaring fire. In hesitation and fear, she would suddenly wake. Every night, she was drenched in cold sweat.

After returning home, Lin Yue immediately sat down before his computer, reviewed several times the information previously brought back by the soldiers who had been lying low in Broken Wolf, and rapidly integrated the information he had learned today as well.

Thinking of Mi Xinrou, he naturally also thought of Liu Yinyin. Then, a bitterness beyond words rose at the corners of his mouth.

But... bugs, and delicious? Why did it seem that everyone in this interstellar world was so afraid of insects?

At that moment, father and son had just reached the reception area. The seniors and seniors' sisters who were vying to escort Guo Sheng, along with the new students there, all heard those words and turned to look over.

Perhaps because in recent years the court had always shown weakness in resisting the Japanese pirates, Tao Lian, as the largest pirate force, had grown used to swaggering through the world; even facing the grand procession of officials beside Gu Yunji, he still held his head high in arrogant disdain.

"In that case, don't say I bullied you." Qiao Ranran winked at Ling Xia.

In any case, Su Qi simply cut his way through each level. If he won, he would take only one treasure from the other side's secret place to be devoured by the formation.

Since he was a man from the prefecture of Shaoxing, and of the same Chinese blood, he would surely be much easier to get close to than foreigners like Aiboge. Judging from his earlier skill with the Dutch cannon, perhaps he was an uncommon technical talent.

Mu Xiuqi, after his father coughed up blood, was completely at a loss, and his father's condition was clearly worsening.

In the black-and-white room stood a large bed, two meters wide, with white striped bedding laid out neatly upon it. Beside the faintly translucent white curtains stood a chair upholstered in white leather.

Liu Fengrou comforted Guo Shengye a little, then looked toward Fang Ping and Zhao Xuemei. "The matter in the underground caverns has been temporarily brought to an end. This wave of assault has been cleared, but the fact remains that the attacks by the creatures of the caverns on the cavern gate have become more frequent. From here on, everyone will need even greater resources."

Just after Wanyan Honglie handed over his military authority and was on the road back to the Prince's Residence, an assassination was carried out against him. After Wanyan Honglie's death, the entire Prince Zhao's Residence was placed under tight surveillance.
