Chapter 43: Confrontation at the Door

Besides, Shen Aoqing, you are neither lacking in food nor clothing. If you were to say that your career bombed and you had no money left to buy food, while still having a wife and children to support at home, that kind of anxiety would be understandable. But the problem is, aren't you the child of a wealthy family?

The moment this thought occurred to Zhan Fuping, his heart leaped with excitement, and his gaze toward Gu Xing turned burning hot.

After pondering for a while about the divine hands, Gu Xing withdrew his gaze from them and finalized his plans for the United States.

All power of life and death was controlled in Kruger's hands. Other anomalies with powerful abilities could only ensure that they themselves would not enter Kruger's dream world. Once they entered Kruger's dream world, they would become entirely at his mercy. If Kruger so desired, he could even cause those who entered his dream world to die in reality as well.

After Long Yu left, everyone began to look around with curiosity, though there wasn't much to see in the cave. However, quite a few people couldn't resist the temptation when looking at these crimson eggs and captured some of them.

Just at that moment, a large crowd surged out from beyond the perimeter, led by Yun Chu, forming a secondary encirclement around them.

"As long as no one can see or constantly keep their eyes on the suspect's assistant, it should be judged as unmonitored," Lan Haichen nodded and said.

Gu Xing never expected that he would encounter a time loop, something that only existed in television dramas. But upon reflection, since such entities as anomalies already existed in the world, there was no need to be surprised by encountering something like this.

Although Qiqi didn't think the area of unclaimed fertile land mentioned by Sun Wukong was very large, this gesture was truly precious. Sun Wukong actually knew how to be considerate of her, and moreover, he had become so sensible without her having to spell it out. Even if he was just lying to make her happy, it was still wonderful.

Yin Sha suddenly let out a cold shout. The ten disciples who were lunging toward Zeng Nianyu paused, and then, noticing the intense flash of murderous intent in Yin Sha's eyes, they shuddered involuntarily before turning around to slaughter the opposing Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

At the same time, I was wondering in my heart: if this was really done by the xuexue, what was its purpose? What good would it do for it? Wasn't it afraid of being found out by Master Xie? Or could it be that it was unwilling to submit to Master Xie's command and had decided to rebel?

Following the imposition of additional training levies, the supreme commander was to train thirty thousand men, the governor twenty thousand, the regional commander ten thousand, and the brigade general five thousand. Although over seven million taels of silver were collected, the effect was identical to the suppression levies previously proposed by Yang Sichang... which is to say, entirely ineffective.

"Cao Cao is a crafty hero. Yuan Shao occupies Jizhou, and Jizhou borders Bingzhou and Qingzhou. Once Cao Cao makes a move, Yuan Shao will inevitably seize the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, with the two holding each other in check. If someone were to keep Yuan Shao occupied, Cao Cao would undoubtedly be able to leverage the emperor's name to continuously expand his own power," Chen Gong said.

However, this trip truly opened my eyes; the Ming dynasty army of this era indeed possessed many unique strengths when it came to firearms.

"Ling Lan, I have some good news to tell you," Gu Hanhao said to Ling Lan with a smile, pulling her over to sit on the living room sofa.

Next, although both sides sharply rebuked each other, they delayed taking action for a long time. This bought Ling Xuan a tremendous buffer, giving him ample time to devise a countermeasure.

Along the way, I was tightly covered with a black cloth specifically to prevent anyone from seeing me, and a rotting, putrid stench began to emanate from my body, accompanied by an unbearable, itchy sensation.

"Yes, indeed it is. I admit it," Xin Jiancheng turned his head away, resuming an expression of utter indifference.

The matters that required discussion were precisely these. Zhang Yu sat across from Xu Jiang. Xu Jiang's expression was poor, likely because the tension between them had not yet been properly resolved, but he did not appear anxious.

Amidst the discussions among the crowd, Yu Qinghuan slowly walked into the grand hall. He had already laid an inescapable net across the streets surrounding the hall, waiting simply for Xi Yang to appear so they could swarm him together and kill Xi Yang to avenge Yu Qinghuang.

Tang Luoluo, regardless of the consequences, preemptively told this lie to Gu Qianmo.

Jiang Dao stopped the movement he was about to make to step on the gas pedal, and the car proceeded smoothly along the road. After exiting the airport highway, the sky had grown completely dark. Another car merged from a side ramp, and the two cars—one in front and one behind—sandwiched Shang Yixiao's vehicle in the middle. This was clearly a case of malicious intent.

Although Tan Yi's attitude toward Shen Moxiao was somewhat indifferent, it was still passable. At this moment, watching the aggressively pushy Dong Lan, Tan Yi's lazy expression shifted slightly, a chill surged upward, and his departing tone turned thoroughly frosty.

"A visitor? Who could it be?" He had already issued instructions; people outside shouldn't be so tactless as to barge in and disturb him again.

Lin Yihui ignored them, walking straight inside to find Gao Yunzhi, whose hair was disheveled and who was bound hand and foot, and a smile touched her lips.

Looking back, even without the memories of those seven reincarnations, she probably still would have plunged headfirst into the exact same trap without a second thought.

The smile at the corner of Zhang Xuan's mouth stiffened slightly. If Mayor Tan didn't like to eat it, why had she brought it? She had originally intended to showcase her domestic proficiency, but since the words were already out, Zhang Xuan could only nod.

He picked up a piece and smelled it. This fragment happened to land beneath the bricks and tiles, escaping much of the wind, sun, and rain, and a faint, lingering trace of pine branch scent could still be detected. He looked at several other logs nearby that had not completely turned to charcoal, reached out to touch them, and found them somewhat slick. Bringing them closer to sniff, they too carried a very faint scent of pine branches.

Ji Weiyan had just put down his phone and before he could say anything, he felt the snowy ground beneath his feet begin to vibrate. His brow furrowed almost instantaneously.

"Indeed very beautiful, except that it is beautiful enough to break one's heart." Transparent droplets of water continuously dripped from Cheng Cheng's hair, drop by drop. Some fell onto Jiang Chen's face, only to be gently wiped away by Cheng Cheng.
