Chapter 113: When the City Gate Burns, the Fish in the Moat Fear the Flames

Symphony of the Night is the name of a cabaret in Jingping City. After wandering through the city, Yu Baichuan and Li Wanbai finally found it.

However, someone else had arrived there before them.

"Go, go, go! Our cabaret has been closed for a long time. I don't care why you came here, but this is not a place for someone like you!" the staff member, playing his part, stood with hands on his hips in front of the entrance, addressing the person attempting to enter.

This was clearly a sign that both malevolent spirits were unable to sustain the illusion any longer. After all, they were not the Old Village Chief, who had become powerful and formidable due to the purple plants.

Accepting the medicinal pill handed over by Lu Wuchen, Ye Gucheng swallowed it without a moment’s hesitation, showing no concern that it might not be the antidote.

But regret was useless now. Liu Bei pondered for a long time, unable to conceive of a way to dismantle Zhou Yu’s malicious scheme. He could only hope that Zhuge Liang would see through the trap and prevent Guan Yu from coming to Lujiang. Once Guan Yu fell for the ruse, even if he harbored no intention of treason, the deed would be done—and who could silence the wagging tongues of the world?

This time, in the position of goalkeeper—long considered the weakest link by Portuguese fans—Ricardo made a miraculous save. Though he looked quite disheveled, he still managed to stretch out his leg and deflect the ball past the end line.

The American advisory group led by Jonk stayed in Pyongyang for nearly a week before boarding an American steamer back to Tianjin.

This entire vast space was, in reality, an industrial and residential complex designed for the production of Titan Golems.

In all fairness, apart from the two great strategists Wolong and Fengchu, Pang Shanmin felt most at ease in the company of Zhou Yu and Guo Jia. Although they served different masters, he found their temperaments highly admirable.

Japan and the Chinese government reached an agreement on withdrawing troops from the Korean Peninsula, yet neither side felt the slightest sense of relief.

The Beiyang Army in Guanzhong discovered they were surrounded by the Revolutionary Army; their morale collapsed, and officers and soldiers began to desert in droves.

Thinking about it carefully, this remark and what Scolari said to Jonk really carried the same implication.

With Yin Xiangdong fleeing to the United States with a massive sum of money, Cao Hu had originally intended to execute Gu Changbei as well, never expecting that Gu Changbei would prove to be far more difficult to handle than he had imagined.

If the decision was correct, such a large loan would bring a very generous return, and perhaps a promotion in rank; if it failed, the consequences were self-evident and likely to be quite devastating.

Of course, one cannot deny that Dr. Shelley had other flaws—gossipy, long-winded, and prone to stubbornness—but these did not overshadow his shining qualities.

Two thugs hauled Xie Dong downstairs, and after Wang Qiang dropped those words, he gently closed the door and hurried to catch up to the stairs.

"Honey, Ling looks more handsome in this outfit. As expected, it really depends on who is wearing the clothes," Mother Jin said with a beaming, teasing smile.

"What happened? Didn't you call for rescue? It’s going to be unbearably hot in a little while, and you’re just flagging down cars like this?" Chen Shu stepped out of the vehicle, inspecting the situation while he spoke.

Ye Yashi stared with wide eyes, while Ye Yashin’s expression turned cold in an instant. A piercing chill radiated from her eyes, making her seem as cold and daunting as an iceberg.

Watching Hu Lijing’s smug face, Gu Yiran felt a wave of frustration. She withdrew her gaze and prepared to continue toward the classroom.

"Are you all right?" Bright rays of light shone in. Outside the door, Sikong Han gripped Yu Yun’s shoulders, looking her over. For a fleeting moment, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"I left my room key inside, so I was hoping to borrow a place to stay for the night. I wonder if that’s possible," Ning Wanxi said with a detached, indifferent tone.

Although the officer offered a reward to Zette, he didn't care about the money and simply told Bi Tianye to keep the horses moving. This brief farce passed, and Zette’s party entered the Kingdom of Red Ice.

Although they didn't know what Rhine was talking about, Lingmei and Yukana knew it was best not to interfere and simply waited quietly for him to finish his questions.
