Chapter 60 Shen Wanning Seeks Death

Madam Gu turned her head away with a cold snort. "No wonder the Third Young Miss is so arrogant; it turns out she has the Military Governor protecting her. Indeed, once a beast follows the right master, it gains influence."

Pei Ji's gaze pierced through like a knife.

Seeing this, Song Lin took two steps forward and drew a bright yellow imperial decree from his bosom.

"Third Young Miss Shen uncovered the underground palace case of the Spiritual Auspices Temple, and His Majesty has personally bestowed rewards. Would Madam Gu care to take a look?"

What underground palace case? What bestowed rewards?

Shen—

What made her even more puzzled was that countless ants seemed to be crawling inside her body. She shivered all over, biting her lower lip tightly. She did not know that the orange juice Old Gao had given her earlier had secretly been spiked with a drug. It had a rather pleasant name: "Drifting Life in a Dream." And at this moment, the effects of the drug were beginning to take hold.

Not only that, as she dragged herself forward, it seemed to be accompanied by the sound of bone joints dislocating. Coupled with her incoherent, low moans, it appeared exceptionally eerie along the somewhat desolate mountain path.

"Bulls***, we just came out from Brother Li's place, and he even said the two of you are too daring and reckless. Even though it's a simple mission, he was afraid you'd stir up other trouble." Rolling his eyes, Lu Yang refused to believe Zhang Zhao's bluff.

After all the people of the Muta tribe died, others came to occupy their pastures, and so they began dealing with these people. This was also what displeased Gongshu Jia; the newly arrived tribes always needed to be bribed up and down, otherwise their village would have no peaceful days.

Zhan Feihuang argued stubbornly with Xiangyang for a long time without managing to persuade him. Enraged, she beat her chest and stamped her feet for a long time, having no choice but to depart in fury to lodge a complaint with Zhan Feiyu.

The fleet of vehicles stopped in the middle of the road, each maintaining a distance of four to five meters. That solitary figure stumbled and almost collided with the vehicle behind. Immediately afterward, more figures began to appear one after another in the rearview mirror on Zhang Zhao's side, all of them walking leisurely.

Master Changqing motioned for her to sit, instructed the monks to brew a pot of fine tea, and told them that all visitors were to be denied entry. Having said this, she stood at the doorway and looked around for a moment to ensure no one was about, before finally closing the door.

Elam's injuries were not very severe, amounting to nothing more than a coma, a fact Chu Yun had deduced immediately. Even so, he was still sent to what was said to be the best hospital in the city—a privilege many of the heavily injured victims of the explosion lacked.

Ares, Melqart, and Toby exchanged glances, concluding that the bunch of lowlife scum they had encountered on the outskirts of Luwenia must be the rookie assassins Chamberlain had mentioned.

They felt their demands were not excessive; they merely wanted to settle down here. They were law-abiding, paid their taxes just like everyone else, and wished to engage in free trade and residency in Great Ming—this was not an unreasonable request.

Had it not been for the precious pagoda emitting a brilliant rosy glow and the divine refining technique operating at the very first moment, Liyou's consciousness would have disintegrated and scattered in an instant, no different from his soul perishing entirely.

The difficulty in the development of any power lies not in its inception or the intermediate process, but in the crucial execution of the wrap-up.

This Wangjiang Tower was the most famous restaurant in Songhu, and its chefs excelled at making Jiangnan cuisine. The crab meat and roe of hairy crabs were meticulously extracted and paired with rice to make a pot of crab rice—the flavor was truly peerless.

After all, the guards Qin Qiong gave him all had families, unlike Wang Er and the others, who were orphans taken in by Cheng Yaojin.

Ever since his trip to Tianjin, the Hongzhi Emperor monitored the stock market daily, focusing particularly on the shares of the Egyptian Canal Trading Company in which he himself held a stake.

The origin of the matter was simple: the Ottoman Empire had violated the previously signed agreement by prohibiting Great Ming merchants from engaging in free trade within its borders while intentionally delaying the payment of reparations.

However, with a thoroughly villainous persona, one could play any hand freely. Berating people was merely temporary; as long as Zhao Qingchan refrained from berating people in the future, he would become a good person—the greatest kind of good person in the eyes of players.
