Returning Grain Tax

According to the original trajectory of history, he did not change much at all, merely gathering his resolve to be admitted to Jiangdu University. Not long after that, Hang Yu relapsed into laziness, becoming no different from an ordinary person.

At this moment, the Xianbei forces on the battlefield gradually steadied their footing, initiating a counter-offensive against the Han army. Meanwhile, the Xianbei soldiers who had fled earlier swarmed back from all directions, pressing toward the battlefield.

Yet now, the most important night of her life would also be spent together with this young man.

At this thought, Hu Sanniang snatched a flying dagger from her shield, urging her golden-maned steed in fierce pursuit of Pei Baogu. Locking her gaze on the back of Pei Baogu's head, she raised her hand and hurled the blade.

After leaving Lin Feng's residence, Cheng Xin did not return to her own room. Instead, she went alone into the depths of the mine tunnel and began to speak.

Lin Zhengfeng felt a sudden sense of abruptness. By then, Wu Junyan had already left her desk and was walking out of the office.

The figure in black stripped away his dark robe, revealing a youthful face. However, this face was deathly pale, coupled with faint purple lips, imparting an eerie and bewitching aura.

Looking around the reef, she found it was not very large, which explained why no one ever came here.

Yet right now, if he were to take in Liu Chan, it would inevitably worsen their relations further, and Liu Bei might fly into a rage and launch an immediate attack on Xiangyang.

"Kazuhiko-kun, I... I..." Just like always, whenever she faced Kazuhiko Ebisawa, Bai Huixin was at a loss. The words she had carefully prepared beforehand vanished completely from her mind.

Zhang Yuanhang did not know whether he should feel sad for them. Of course, the thought also brought a secret sense of joy to his heart.

The armed helicopters and transport helicopters were the most advanced and latest models, having just completed their trials, with many still classified.

Qingdai had naturally considered this matter, but pondering certain things now was useless; until that moment arrived, no one could foresee what they might encounter.

Watching his opponent about to cut down his last remaining subordinate, Xiang Bo spun around and forcefully squeezed himself into the stone door that had not yet fully opened.

"We aren't afraid of those Xianbei, but don't forget why we came to Yongzhou this time!" Shi Yong said. "We came to plunder the wealth and grain of the Han people, not to fight a war with the Xianbei! Besides, the Xianbei outnumber us; if a real battle breaks out, we won't necessarily have the upper hand."

Competing with Xiu Yi in wealth was truly a miscalculation. Xiu Yi hung out with Raymond, and Karily's daily income was in the tens of millions—she had more money than she knew what to do with. Xiu Yi merely took a fraction of her loose change, yet it amounted to over a hundred million. How could he possibly care about a mere million gold coins?

After settling the white tiger at the foot of Yingtai Mountain, Kong Xuan brought Yunlan straight into the Infinite Golden Palace to pay his respects to the Immortal Mingyang. Entering the palace, they saw Mingyang sitting cross-legged on a cloud couch with a boy attending by his side. The two hurriedly prostrated themselves.

Within Zheng Shiyi's body, his vital energy instantly surged, a flush rising to his cheeks. He paused for a moment before managing to stabilize the internal turbulence.

Chen Ao thought to himself that since the negotiations had already been settled, this fellow still dared to speak insolently. Clearly, this was not hinted at in secret by Alliance Leader Chen, but rather because this person was utterly unreliable and spoke without thinking. His lewd expression plainly revealed some untoward thoughts regarding the so-called Supreme Lord.

Following Dr. Gero's death, Sun Wutian, having acquired the controllers for the androids, brought an end to the twenty-year-long panic they had caused. He rescued countless humans imprisoned by Dr. Gero and destroyed all the androids. Just as Bulma had hoped, Sun Wutian became the savior of Earth.

If Xiao Zhan's act of showing off could be considered posturing, it completely transcended the conventional definitions, because he flaunted his superiority every single moment, and in a way that commanded absolute admiration from everyone.

Thus, through various altercations, Elder Brother He came into conflict with others. Over the years, relying on his younger brother's influence, he had taken to styling himself a lord. Accustomed to smooth sailing, how could he stomach such an insult? Consequently, he used unscrupulous means to seize their shop.

With the order given, the members of the Yixing Sect stopped lingering in combat and withdrew one by one. This had been prearranged, and the Heroic Breeze Knight naturally had his own ways of escaping.

Bai Junyan surveyed the people in the room. Aside from Duan Wuqi, Xiong Guang, and Elder Mo, brothers Liang Sizhi and Liang Xingzhi were seated in the corner. Although Bai Junyan did not recognize the two, he greatly admired their extraordinary martial prowess and repeatedly expressed a desire to befriend them, only to be repeatedly rebuffed.

"Brother Lu can rest easy. I am merely gathering herbs nearby, and the enemies have detoured to climb the mountain from the other side," Linger said.

Her brown hair flowed like water, her eyes resembled the blue sky, her teeth were white as pearls, and her eye sockets were deeply set like those of all foreign races—yet this depth only served to make her eyes appear larger, radiating an exotic and soul-stirring beauty.

If there hadn't been a lack of better options, she wouldn't have settled for just five. Since she had to choose, she might as well select them all at once to avoid having to pick again later. Choosing them now meant they could be trained and put to use when the time came.

Despite her dissatisfaction, Hutou still put in a few good words for Shen Shaojun. After all, they were blood relatives, and Uncle Shaojun bringing honor upon himself was a supreme glory for the entire Shen clan.

Zhang Ling looked closer and saw two urns of ashes placed where the first two coffins had been displaced, and frost was actually emanating from them—not white frost, but black frost, which filled him with profound astonishment. Those two urns must be the ashes of Cai Yanyan and Fang Hai, right?

Wang Weiyan thought he had offended this unfathomable senior, and hurriedly showered him with flattering horse-tributes, uttering nothing but praise about how brilliant and martial he was, or how lucrative this Luofu Sect must be.

Qin Shiting covered her mouth and smiled, having never seen Bao Bao, who was usually so eloquent, reduced to a loss for words.

The other soul-race generals were equally enraged by Huo Er's arrogant maneuver. Hundreds of thousands of soul-race warriors had yet to evacuate the city; once Huo Er lured the mammoth behemoth inside, whether those hundreds of thousands of soldiers would still exist remained a serious question.

The Patriarch—was that not the two saints Jieyin and Zhunti? When a saint makes a move, it is naturally extraordinary. Bafeng Han currently possessed sufficient strength, talent, and cultivation techniques, yet he truly lacked a powerful artifact.
