Chapter 146: Tank Filled to the Brim

Another day passed. The bandits remained uncaptured, yet the Imperial Capital dispatched a new City Lord.

To everyone's absolute astonishment, the new City Lord turned out to be none of other than White Wolf, who had even changed his name to Bai Lang.

Those who knew him understood well in their hearts that this fellow had already betrayed the Gu family and pledged his allegiance to a new master!

The very first thing Bai Lang did upon taking office was not to summon the various clans within the city, but rather to visit the Qiu family estate.

...

Clearwater Bay was surrounded by mountains on all sides, featuring a complex terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. Yet precisely because of this, once breached by enemy forces, all the cities would suffer a catastrophic disaster. At this moment, Mo Li was acutely aware of the importance of holding Clearwater Bay, and thus made up his mind to live and eat right here alongside Jin Lian'er, ensuring they would not be caught off guard should the Fire Demons strike.

He was still that same Yu Fan, the one who could walk shoulder-to-shoulder with them and sleep in the same room by their side.

Even if she chose to leave Huo Ziyin and start over entirely on her own, she could still live a wonderful life. The men pursuing her, even after rigorous screening, would form a vast, bustling crowd. Yet, she did not do so. Naturally, she had her own considerations in mind.

Old Fu Qiu and Aunt Zhang Cui'e knew that the time for a last-stand battle had arrived. Possessing the latent talents of seasoned actors, they collapsed onto the ground and wailed bitterly together.

The carriage's cabin and canopy were both golden and exquisitely decorated, instantly revealing it to be something found only in a major metropolis. Everyone stood there staring in a daze.

Chen Guangsheng was already dead, and the guards in his estate had long since scattered in all directions. Yuan Chen casually laid down a restrictive barrier, and the bedchamber instantly grew quiet.

Qin Shi Huang established the first unified empire in Chinese history, pioneering the precedent of a centralized unified state, yet his dynasty perished with his second emperor, making it a short-lived regime. The extreme scarcity of minted Qin Banliang coins was enough to demonstrate their immense value.

Zhuge Yue’s skeptical laughter was like mocking a mantis attempting to stop a chariot with its own arms.

The moment the White Lady landed, Black Wolf Mountain towered from above, seizing the opportunity to viciously peck at the White Lady’s avian head with his aggressive beak.

"Eldest Senior Brother, please come and take a look! I have no idea how to deal with these," Mo Li said, at a loss as to how to handle the hair. Improper handling might trigger a trap, with unimaginably disastrous consequences.

Hu La replied indifferently, which made Jack anxious. Only by acquiring Hu La's apartment could he possibly raise that damn thirty thousand, and then embark on his grand ambitions. Seeing that Hu La did not seem very enthusiastic, he once again churned out a wealth of sweet words.

The injury on Tu Baobao's forehead had healed remarkably well, almost invisible unless inspected closely. Gazing at the faint remaining scar in the mirror, Tu Baobao let out a sigh.

However, Xu Baitong was not alone. After following Xu Baitong for a short distance ahead, Ji Fa spotted Zhu Zi, Qu San, and several familiar Xiqi guards waiting anxiously and worriedly for him near a dilapidated thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain.

Hearing this news while feeling somewhat bewildered and lost due to the arrangements for the hostages, Ji Fa was both startled and suddenly enlightened, a brilliant idea flashing through his mind.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and offered a sweet smile, instantly leaving the guard frozen in place with a dazed and foolish expression.

Therefore, she wanted to make her escape before being punished by Lin Mohan, venturing out to avoid the limelight. Once Lin Mohan's anger subsided, perhaps he would forgive her, and returning at that time would not be too late.

I have not forgotten. In every lifetime hereafter, a plum blossom birthmark will grow upon my chest. Even though I have memorized all the Buddhist scriptures of this world until I can recite them fluently, it remains entirely in vain.

"Where on earth could this person have gone?" If he continued searching in this completely unfamiliar place, it became a questionable matter whether he could even find his way back to You Su City. Just as Zhan Xiu was feeling somewhat at a loss, the clatter of horse hooves echoed from afar.
