Volume 1, Chapter 30: Wu Sangui Arrives in the Capital! Zhu Youjian Summons the Commanders!

"Your Majesty, on behalf of the Ministry of War, I have issued orders to summon commanders Lu Xiangsheng, Shi Kefa, Sun Chuanting, Cao Wenzhao, and Cao Bianjiao to the capital."

"They have all arrived at the Ministry of War and are currently waiting for your summons."

Sun Chengzong spoke up at the opportune moment to deliver his report.

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Zhu Youjian's eyes.

"Never mind, fetch me a basin of water so I can wash my face. The Lady of Ruyin County was right; I really should arrange for some women in this courtyard to wait on me. I’ve suffered a loss today, and you haven't even been quick enough to help," Han Yi said impatiently.

Seeing the rare glint of humor in Cai E's eyes, Yang Shuoming could not help but smile.

The surprise of the entire audience deepened, and the atmosphere was fully ignited. Everyone could not help but stretch their necks to look forward, their faces filled with excitement and glee.

"I have already requested a joint wargame between the Army and the Navy. Does Mr. Ishiwara wish to know the conclusion?" Kanji Ishiwara asked with a confident smile.

What Wheat and Hai Mimi liked to do in private could be easily imagined through the sound of Hai Mimi’s moans.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a sumptuous feast was laid out early in the morning in the luxury suite of the Army Group's liaison office in the capital.

Early November in Seattle was still lush and green. This city, known as the Emerald City and the largest in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, was also the hometown of Bill Gates, the founder of the world-famous Microsoft Corporation; his company was just a stone's throw away. The air here was incredibly moist, fresh, clean, and clear.

"The people of Liaodong are not to be feared; Youzhou and Jizhou can be pacified within ten years," Han Yi said nonchalantly, as if speaking of something entirely unrelated to himself.

With great difficulty, Yu Changyi finally regained his composure and began signaling the second-rank police inspector repeatedly. The inspector first held his neck stiffly and shook his head ever so slightly, his eyes filled with terror. Only when pressured by Yu Changyi did he reluctantly nod and slowly walk over, forcing a smile to cover his entire face.

Lu Tianyu had come to the pharmaceutical factory primarily to treat the illness of Lu Wu's sister, Lu Yan. His romance with Liu Shaofen was merely incidental. Once his task was completed, Lu Tianyu left the factory with a "tender and lingering" gaze.

Lin Junqiang left the conference hall and found Chen Xinghai, recounting the discussion with the fifteen mine owners to him word for word.

"Honey, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble..." Yang Lili said, already sobbing uncontrollably.

According to his plan, he set up a concealment array in Murong Yuntian's room and instructed him not to leave the array unless he gave the order.

Ye Bai then walked to the front, first smiling at Tang Lulu, and then pulling a handgun from the jackets of each of the two men in sunglasses.

If calculated this way, this inheritance was stained with blood; to obtain it was to crawl through a sea of gore.

"The technique you are practicing is somewhat sinister, which is why this condition has appeared. I suspect those black spots will continue to grow and multiply as your cultivation increases. Eventually, your entire body might be covered in them," Ye Bai speculated.

After walking a few steps, the hunched old man turned his head to look at Ye Bai, leaving him with a mysterious smile.

Lang Hongxiang's expression also turned grim. At this distance, as long as Gou Xingjie waved his hand, he would undoubtedly die.

The two opposing sides stepped forward simultaneously to meet Chen Xinghai's group, stopping halfway to stare at each other. Looking dazed and confused, the same thought crossed all their minds at once.

"I'll go too. I need to buy some kitchen supplies in Wildflower Village and help take care of your grandfather's IV drip," Zhiyin said.

The word "Auntie" was still stuck in my throat when she pushed me aside, walked right past me, and entered the door.
