When it happens to someone else, one cannot help thinking, “Why can’t they manage something so simple?”

“Hehe, Mother Consort is right. Your son understands now,” Situ Huoqing said, unable to hide his smugness.

At last, amid the excited cheers of the Lusong soldiers, the earth-built city gate collapsed with a thunderous crash, revealing a passage into the city.

Thinking of how her son had hurried away as soon as he had rested, Qin Shu knew he would surely stay up late, perhaps not sleep at all that night. The apple she had bitten halfway through suddenly became difficult to finish.

He picked up the memorial again, but for some reason, though he stared at the large characters on the page, he could not take in a single one.

This situation quickly changed after the Songjiang Army defeated Aman’s forces in Tiannan Commandery.

As for why two people had to share a horse, it was probably so they would have enough manpower on the return journey to reclaim the livestock that had been requisitioned.

Because he cared far too much, Saladin fired off a string of questions in one breath, leaving the messenger unsure which one to answer first.

The common people lined the streets to welcome them, greeting the returning soldiers with fervent enthusiasm and treating them like heroes.

Meng Fu had not even called you out, nor was there any reason for her to apologize to you. So what was the point of suddenly issuing a “statement saying no apology was needed”?

Whether it was the aerial beast or the Starlight Leopard in the rear, they had little time left. That was why Ning Feng resolutely took the potion.

At that moment, Ning Jiayu finally could not hold back any longer. He strode over, burrowed into Ye Xun’s arms, and took his large hand, placing it on his own shoulder.

Ning Jiayu licked the corner of his mouth, stepped forward, and reached out to pull him from behind Yu Qi.

The instant the order was given, it suddenly felt as though heaven and earth were collapsing. Thunderous hoofbeats rang across the endless wilderness stretching for a thousand miles.

An Sheng nimbly dodged Du Man’s attacks while teasing her and deflecting every assault. Once she had nearly exhausted herself, An Sheng lifted her up and threw her from the arena.

The round-faced man could not answer An Sheng’s question just then, because it involved confidential matters. That was also the part he had withheld earlier. Guan Zhengyu was indeed suspected of murdering Li Na and Ying Xi, but there was still no evidence proving that he had killed Li Yan. Therefore, he could not explain the matter clearly to An Sheng.

After receiving the memories of his predecessor, Qin Yan had gained a rough understanding of basic combat and how to deal with enemies.

“Zhuang Rui, will you treat me well?” Yang Ai did not ask whether he liked her, but whether he would treat her well. She knew that treating her well was something Zhuang Rui could do. As for whether he liked her, that was a matter for later. Perhaps, she thought, he would come to like her eventually.

She remembered what had happened at the Go club the previous year, and then recalled the chessboard belonging to Teacher Ge and Wanmín Village.

“Not only Chu Ning—even Yuhan’s peeling is my responsibility.” Lin Yuhao’s hand paused, and then he gave a bitter smile.

“I know it may be fake, but it could still be a sign of her true feelings. Since she has already decided not to return, why should I go and disturb her? Wouldn’t it be better to let her live in peace?” Long Qing said.

“You went to such trouble!” Yingchun said. Compared with a ready-made gift, something made by hand indeed required considerable effort to prepare.

A trace of irritation from having just woken up showed on that handsome yet cold face. Looking at the scene before him, it seemed that unless he, the person involved, said something, the two sides would not calm down so easily.

Concubine Guan had brought two maids with her, and together with the two serving Yingchun, the four young women—though all still young—were utterly devoted to their mistress. They actually managed to restrain the unusually strong wet nurse.

She actually thought that all one needed to prepare for struggles within a wealthy household was antidote and wound medicine. Her imagination was truly impoverished.

“What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so absent-minded?” Long Qing sat on the sofa and looked at Situ Xing’er, who had entered looking dispirited.

Two days later, when Fang Weinan and Engineer Wu presented Fang Zhenghao with the estimated costs and the latest construction plans, his face was filled with delighted surprise.

A handsome face appeared before Jiayu. Sweat from his forehead dripped straight down his cheeks onto the ground. His lips were pressed tightly together, and his deep-blue eyes flashed with hostility, while an extraordinary coldness showed on his face.

Seeing him like this, Leng Yue knew he was certainly up to no good. In particular, the way he looked at her made her feel inexplicably uneasy, so she grabbed him at once.

Fear showed in the maid’s eyes. She hurriedly nodded and, weeping all the while, pointed out the way for Zhan Xiao.

“It’s nothing. I’m not going to die. A few days of rest will see me right,” said the cheap father standing before Lü Feng.

Feng Youwei sat upright on the bed with his eyes closed in feigned sleep. The chest remained quietly beside him, untouched. Suddenly, after being shut for a long while, his eyes opened. His true essence spread outward, as though he had sensed some disturbance.

Since Ao Ba and the other two had discovered that he could draw upon the power of the Ancient Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Qin Yu no longer bothered to conceal it.

“We must first confirm that the sea chart is genuine!” John gritted his teeth, then said to Old Nine.
