Chapter 102: On Edge
Before the Crown Prince’s main entourage had even returned, a messenger had already galloped into the capital. The elderly Emperor held an extraordinary early morning court session, summoning his officials to discuss the arrangements for welcoming the Crown Prince back to the capital.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince’s performance in providing disaster relief across the four prefectures has been remarkable. When he departed, the common people scrambled to see him off; I have heard the crowd stretched for over fifty miles. In all the dynasties of the past, I ask you, which Crown Prince has ever achieved such a feat?" a third-rank official began...
However, He Ming was at a loss; with his current capabilities, he truly had no way to obtain it for the time being.
Zhang Nianzu waved his hands vigorously. "Nothing happened between us!" He then briefly recounted his current predicament in a few words.
When the Magic Blade arrived and saw that the wound cut by the Black Rose could not be healed by the Soul Controller, he immediately understood why Leng Feng had summoned him.
Lin Ruofeng’s phone was filled with search histories similar to the above. Not only that, he had already prepared himself to take charge of his wife’s and children’s meals moving forward.
What surprised Zhao Meili, however, was that after she said this, the radio earpiece—contrary to its usual state—did not broadcast Wang Lang’s shameless teasing, but instead fell suddenly silent.
"What is there to look at?" Li Changgui said, though he still handed the paper to Li Asi with great care.
But they had underestimated how resilient Wolong City was under the leadership of Yu Lihuang and Chen Zhenhai. They had already steeled themselves with the determination to die and perish with the city, and the reinforcements from the Flying Dragon Brigade ignited their hope once more. In war, there is nothing more formidable than a soldier who possesses hope.
As Wang Lang carried her on his shoulder toward the bedroom, Yao Rao did not forget to "provocatively" greet Bai Xinyi.
Zhang Shuxin squeezed the flash drive in his pocket, his spirits soaring. This was not because he was brimming with confidence in his own expertise, but because he had recently found a new focus in life. Ever since his wife passed away, he had never felt as determined as he did now. He knew clearly that all of this was brought to him by Zhang Xiaoliang.
Seeing that Feng Shisanlang’s handsome face remained as calm as a breeze, showing not a hint of fear, Dugu Zhaojun finally announced with a helpless, solemn, and resonant voice, displaying a touch of royal temperament.
Once the reconstruction began, Zhou Ziming could obtain massive amounts of capital from the relocated residents and the wealthy. Simultaneously, by having the construction company front the costs, he could use these billions to plug the holes in his own finances.
Chu Zhiheng looked at the four characters, "Sword-Wielding the Ends of the Earth," beneath the post, smiled, and clicked accept.
Feng Jiuxiao, accompanied by Jiang Ye and Feng Yu, enjoyed a hearty meal of roasted meat at Qin Zuihuan’s place before returning to their rooms, fully satisfied.
Seeing the reporters around him, Tang Lianhai wept with even greater pathos. He hoped to use the power of the press to force Su Jinge into submission. As long as the newspaper readers believed that Su Jinge had a connection to him, the Su family, for the sake of their reputation, would surely force her to marry him. Even if they did not, they would at least offer him a generous settlement.
The shockwave caused by a grenade fired from a tank was naturally quite powerful. So, when the adjutant crawled up from the ground, he found the officer who had been blocking the General with him lying to the side, a metal fragment lodged in his throat, spitting blood and clearly beyond saving.
Ning'er was winding thread, while Ping'er was brewing tea nearby. Xue Ru was watering the flowers and plants on the windowsill.
Wang Meigong nodded, realizing that Lu Fuxiao might be planning to rescue Prince Yong. Saving her man was her choice. He said nothing more.
However, the man in the black robe had not summoned these zombies to provide Gu Ying with help; therefore, he possessed specific methods to control them.
Murong Xiao did not mind the man’s hostile tone; he placed his left hand on the man’s shoulder, and a faint, bloody radiance flowed from his palm into the man’s body.
"Everyone, take a look! This is what he calls a useless talisman, and now look at the spirit talismans we sell." Jiang Wulin placed the two talismans side by side.
