094. Beneath a Web of Spies in Xiapi

With a single order from Chancellor Cao, the surging river waters flooded into Xiapi City, turning the entire city into a sea of marshes.

Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun, and Xu Huang led troops in rotating assaults on the city.

Inside the city, Lu Bu personally held the White Gate Tower, commanding his men in defense. Xiapi burned with the fires of war.

"Lu Bu, the Chancellor orders you to surrender at once. If you refuse, not even chickens and dogs will be left alive in Xiapi City."

Cao Hong shouted toward the walls with a huge iron bucket in his hands.

On the battlements, Lu Bu stood his ground.

The Proud King gasped for breath, coughing up mouthfuls of blood from time to time, his eyes already somewhat glazed.

The old man was utterly unremarkable, but the young man wore a feathered crown and splendid robes, his brow and eyes marked by the arrogance of one who stood above others. When he saw the toad-like monster below, he frowned, and a look of clear disgust appeared on his face.

The village head was also anxious about these matters, and going to see the coroner might help take his mind off things. "Come on, let's go see the coroner," he said, raising a hand as he walked off.

What Bronx never dreamed was that a pair of grim reaper's eyes had already locked onto him from the darkness.

Tomorrow, a high-ranking officer would be coming to inspect the regiment headquarters, and the commander had ordered everyone to have the place cleaned up before nightfall. The news spread through the entire headquarters in an instant.

At this moment, however, a man claiming to be Sima Fu had come to offer his allegiance. Although Liu Yong could not personally handle affairs, that did not prevent him from thinking matters through.

Liu Yong had not brought many troops, only thirty thousand men, but as long as they entered the city, that would be enough to accomplish something great.

"All right." After hearing it, Yaochi finally understood. At such an advanced age, he should have been enjoying a quiet retirement, yet he still had the energy to stir up trouble. Ye Chen was left speechless as well.

In truth, Liu Yong was not as happy as he looked. He was somewhat angry. Zhao Wei had secretly come to contact him, yet no one had reported it to him. That alone was bad enough, but what if there were other matters the servants had also concealed? At a critical moment, that could ruin everything.

"I only want you dead! Can you give me that?" One cold sentence interrupted the battle between the two angels.

"Lu Zhuo" was left until the very end, probably because Cao Cao wanted to heighten the intimidation. After all, "Lu Zhuo" was no trivial figure, and he was worthy of a grand finale.

Wang Yang held it in for a long time. He had originally had a great deal he wanted to say, but in the end, only these few words came out.

Moreover, the ancient demons that were destroyed before should have been far stronger than that batch from "Huang." By ordinary logic, since the first attempt had failed, the ancient demons sent the second time ought to have been even stronger.

Suddenly, a middle-aged man riding a water buffalo appeared before them as if out of nowhere, startling them all.

Before long, everyone had fallen asleep. The only ones still awake were the four disciples from Zhongshan Gate on patrol. Yet none of them knew that, at that very moment, not even Huo Min knew that Xu Bufan had never actually fallen asleep.

This was destined to be a battle remembered across the seas. In this war alone, there would be hundreds of thousands of experts, each both famous and formidable.

"Although it still has not changed, in my view it is only a matter of time." Ying Luo shrugged and told Mami about the wish Sayaka had made.

It seemed that having a truly powerful investor was indeed extraordinary; it was practically enough to have the wind and rain at one’s command, and to get whatever one desired.

When he thought of how much Gu Feng had given to save his life over all these years, how many hardships he had overcome, and how many desperate dangers he had faced, he could not help but break into tears of joy.

Shen Zhan first froze, then was overwhelmed by guilt. In the end, what had happened between him and Lin Xinxin had still brought harm to this child.

"Old hubby? Is our husband really that old?" Chen Beibei, quick-witted and mischievous, seized on the flaw in that remark at once and immediately began teasing Shangguan Piaoxue.

I moved the things around a little, then sat down to rest for a while. The apartment had one bedroom and two living rooms, and there was no sign of any man anywhere. No wonder Qin Zeyang felt at ease leaving me in Qiao Chen's care.
