Volume Three: The Xuanwu Gate Incident, Chapter 124: The Commander of Xuanwu Gate

Ever since Li Shimin and his brother met for a detailed discussion, Li Xuanba continued to sneak back into the Mysterious Armor Army camp, hiding in the shadows to stabilize the morale of the troops.

On the surface, Li Shimin appeared severely injured and in need of bed rest, but in reality, he was secretly deploying people everywhere to win over and divide the major aristocratic families, while bribing key figures.

As for Ming Yu, he had promised Li Shimin that he would secure provisions for the Mysterious Armor Army by organizing civilian support. After several days of preparation, he purchased a large quantity of supplies and set off for the military camp, personally leading five or six chefs and over a dozen staff members from the Zhiwei Restaurant.

Whole, fat, round pigs, and entire carcasses of well-fed livestock...

Zhang Yuxin found it hard to believe that it was just a dream, because the words Liu Jingyu had spoken to her at the end were not fully understood or contemplated at the time. Reflecting on them now, it seemed as if Liu Jingyu had implied something more.

He remembered that Qin Bing once had that same look in his eyes; they were about the same age, though their temperaments were different. But that gaze could not be mistaken—it was the gaze of a genius.

"You seem a bit irrational today. Let's talk when you've sobered up. You've been drinking, so I'll drive you home later," Yun Shen said.

With the power imbalance being what it was, Wang Qiang could not think of a better solution. In the end, it was Zhang Fei who voiced his thoughts.

Hidden within the palace gates, Yu Shen Yumi keenly sensed that her subordinates were in mortal danger and transformed into a black shadow, rushing out of the hall.

The moment their eyes met, Sister Bing gave a charming, knowing smile before drifting away.

"Mom, is my sister back?" Zhang Yuxin asked as she and her mother walked toward the living room.

In Jing Pei's experience, this kind of thing only ever happened in stories or on television.

In the world of business, there had never been an occasion where Fu Chengjing had shown such sincerity during a conversation.

Afterward, Bu Hui maneuvered his half-health AMX 13 90 and sped toward the first and second lines, as the three remaining heavy tanks of the Jialan team had already retreated.

He stood up, placed a few copper coins on the table, and accompanied Xue Lian'er back toward the inn where they were staying.

"Wife, stop questioning the child," Father Gong said, trying to pull Mother Gong, who was currently in a fit of rage, away.

The source of the killing intent was Guo Tie, who had just arrived at the doorway. He was gritting his teeth, silently mouthing something. Although Bu Hui could not understand it, he could easily guess what it was.

"You guys performed well. From now on, let's fight as a team according to this standard!" Bu Hui praised.

Nangong Ling pushed deeper, unable to bear the cold distance she was trying to establish between them. He wanted her to feel the pain, to suffer, because that way, at least he could still feel that she was the same person she had always been.

Chu Jinglan spoke as she hauled me up from the ground. I never imagined that her slender frame could contain such immense strength. I looked in terror at her face, which had become twisted and hideous with rage, and resigned myself to her mercy.

"What kind of person is she? Can she turn black into white, call a deer a horse, and still win a lawsuit?" Yu Zinuo did not believe that nonsense and continued to immerse herself in her own carefree world.

Barred walked step by step toward the center of the village. The church loomed larger in his eyes, and everything around him was so peaceful that if not for the sight of Lucius's horse still tied to the church wall, he might have thought everything that happened yesterday was a hallucination, and that Adeline was merely an angel born of a dream.

Back home, Bu Hui lay on the sofa in a daze, suddenly feeling that everything he had done over the past few months was utterly meaningless.

Meanwhile, the members of the "Leisure Abode" guild beside him, all battle-hardened cultivators, realized what was happening almost immediately. They shouted in unison and surged forward in pursuit.

Master Liu had originally suspected that Nie Wei might be a disciple of some major sect, but her actions didn't quite fit; what disciple of a prestigious sect would go off to join the entertainment industry?
