Chapter 13075 — Liu Huang Was Only a Deputy Chiliarch

That was why the other side had spent the time charging up more than twenty Dragon God Cannon blasts in one go.

This way, once the Dragon God Cannons fired simultaneously, even if Wei Zhao and the others were fast enough, it would still be very hard for them to dodge them all.

If they were grazed even slightly, they would immediately follow in He Piaoliang's and Wu Guang's footsteps.

However one looked at it, the situation truly had one conclusion: all was lost.

And that was not all.

At this moment the number of Dragon God Cannons above everyone's heads was still increasing.

Song Na's strictness was more the strictness of a stern teacher. But the current Imperial Academy carried a hint of squeezing the students.

Faced with her ferocious, furious expression, Sun Yuanzheng gave a cold snort and waved his hand for her to be taken away.

It was only when Li Dayong drew closer that he realized most of these people were familiar faces—the village chief himself was among them—and he was greatly startled. Li Dayong remembered clearly that Xiao Mo and his group had set out with fifty-one people; now only half remained, and every one of them was wounded, their clothes torn and tattered like beggars'.

"Father, Liu Huang is only a deputy chiliarch. If we follow him, can we really have a bright future?" Having grasped their current predicament, Huang Jing began to think about the road ahead.

That argument seemed to have some sense to it. In the old days, these nobles and worthies were exceedingly well-behaved before Old Zhu. But now? They had learned to balance between the Emperor and the Grandson, learned to weigh the situation and offend neither side.

In the end, it was Fang Gang who demanded they bring out their tools, and only then did they hand them over to Chen Yan with the greatest reluctance.

If the school leaders had not been sitting right there, these students would have flown into a rage long ago and driven Su Xiao straight out of the classroom.

At some unknown moment, Ren Xiaoyan had come to Chen Yan's side and sat down properly, though her body leaned toward him, whether deliberately or not.

Princess Anqing felt this deeply: Father Emperor could not be offended, and her nephew could not be provoked either. It was simply too difficult.

Zhou Cang spoke then: "Recall the troops!" Whereupon the soldiers of the Wilderness Kingdom abandoned their respective opponents and returned to their formation, and the soldiers on the Taiping Town side likewise returned to Pei Yuanshao's side, watching the Wilderness Kingdom's forces with tiger-like glares.

The southern wind differs from the northern: a mild autumn breeze bearing moisture. Among the trees, beneath the shrubs, soldiers in camouflage were searching for their targets.

Alarm bells rang loud in Fu Yunxi's heart. Last time, because of him, she had been taken down a peg by the Emperor, and the anger in her heart had still not subsided. Today he had come to stir up trouble again—truly a 'ghost' that would not leave her be. If only she had known, she would not have come out.

These past few days, everyone's understanding of the outside world had come through the radio on the bus. They knew that the base now arranged people's lodgings according to their rank of special ability. In this way, they would have to be separated.

Under Su Ruyi's supervision, the two 'wet' nurses were quite well-behaved. Though she was strict by nature, she would not 'force' them to drink greasy, saltless 'meat' soup to 'promote milk'. Their treatment was also better than that on the Virtuous Consort's side—what they ate and used was the same as Su Ruyi's own.

A fair white hand rested on the table, the index and middle fingers tapping the surface in turn. The young man gave no sign of anything, his eyes only occasionally flicking toward the dealer, Qiao Ya. But in the dealer Qiao Ya's eyes, it was precisely this pair of eyes, betraying nothing, that was truly terrifying.

Langya gazed at the old man's desolate back—karma turns in cycles. Back then I gave the jade to Liubo, bringing upon myself that calamity three years ago, but was it not also making your whole family bear to the end the sins of my past life that I should have borne myself? Planting karma—this karma was likely planted in Liuli long ago, was it not?

Li Longfei still sat by the wine table, drinking as he watched the Emperor and that beauty's every move, thinking to himself: who is this beauty, then?

Xiuyiao said with a laugh, "It's not that I know how—it's that the Feng family simply doesn't care for the money." If the Feng family were a bit cheaper and a bit more courteous, these people would certainly not have gone far when the near was at hand, letting my grandfather's household deliver the flour.

"You—" Ye Xuan's words had only gotten halfway out, yet he did not continue. The finger he had raised froze in midair and moved no more, as though he were a stone carving.
