Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Grand Guard of Ta Pan

Everyone hurriedly asked what was wrong with Sumer, whether there was another ghost. Sumer shook his head and said, it wasn't a ghost, but seemed more like an animal. Fatty Zuo stubbed out his cigarette: "Making a fuss over nothing! What mountain doesn't have animals?" He then turned to me. "Comrade Xie Xiaopi, after all your tricks, have you finally found the location of the sable?" I nodded and said I had found it...

Zhang San smiled and recounted his visit to the Princess's residence, even taking out the Princess's calling card for Li Si to see. The entrance hadn't been blocked, and the scene in the room next door was still faintly visible; Qin Lie hurriedly turned his head away.

For Turkey, whether they lost by a single goal or were completely routed, the result was the same: packing their bags and going home. So, after falling behind, Turkey fought back with everything they had. At least in terms of courage, Turkey deserved recognition.

Hao Yu had just rolled away when, at the spot where he had stood, a shower of sparks erupted. Amidst the swirling smoke, several blinding laser beams shot from the ruins of distant houses, flying straight toward Hao Yu, who had barely landed.

When Zhang Xiangling returned to the dormitory after her date, Song Guyan was giving Zhou You a lesson in ideological and political education. Two cats lay lazily on the sofa, sleeping.

Zhou You spoke to himself, fully aware that the cats and dogs before him couldn't understand, yet he felt compelled to finish his words. Even if only a cat or a dog understood a little, life would be a bit better, and what he did would be meaningful.

Emotions require complementary personalities, while similar temperaments are better suited for friendship. From Han Si's description, that girl was entirely different from him. This freshness was something Han Si could never resist.

Another aspect is the private traders; smuggling is often hugely profitable, and those who succeed in it are skilled at dealing with all sides, both legal and illegal. Many are entangled with officials for mutual benefit. These major iron merchants are a kind of official-business collusion.

How could he not know that another palace coup would mean completely breaking with the new ruler, making it impossible to balance against Ming Wang together with the new ruler?

"Sir, is there something urgent you need me for?" After so many years, the physician was quite familiar with Liu Tong and his peers. On seeing Liu Tong, he asked directly.

One sentence startled Hu Xiao. In Hu Xiao's view, Master Gu inviting him to the dinner was simply to thank him for saving his life.

Just then, the voice of Song Shichang came through the communication stone, instructing everyone to go to the training grounds.

Ye Qingyu's eyes shimmered with a hint of haze, his half-drunk demeanor making Ying Xuan begin to feel he was putting on airs.

Defending in a secret passage naturally offered some advantages, but the drawbacks were obvious. Wang Si's group was most lacking in a way out.

Though the lighting was dim, Yan Yanqi still noticed that the person's gaze paused for a moment before finally landing on her, five meters away.

Liu Ye saw through her intentions and held her hand, refusing to let her leave. Behind him, Old Gu had already placed needlework supplies on the table—neat, clean cloths, premium silk threads, and that double-sided plum blossom embroidered handkerchief, all laid out before her.

"Look! Sister bought a lot of groceries. Let's celebrate together today!" Qing Rong said, lifting the bag of food in her hand.

"We can't manage the mountain path with our wounded, so we have to take the main road!" Wang Si spoke decisively. The current situation left him no choice, so he turned to Han Zhengdong and said this was the only option for now.

"Hey, what's with your attitude? How can you talk to Tingting like that?" Liu Qian, being Zhang Tingting's close friend, naturally stood up for her.

Ning Fan, of course, had no idea what she was thinking. Even if he knew, he would only smile and never accept any gratitude.
