Volume One, Chapter 31: The Power of Money

"Is this, is this really going to work?"

After hearing A-Long's plan, my heart was in a state of turmoil.

A-Long rolled his eyes upward and said with great confidence, "Why wouldn't it? That Old Wolf doesn't have much influence around here. He's just a gambling agent, and his main purpose for coming here is to make money."

"He sent A-Qing here to livestream for the same reason—to make money."

"With my plan, he can still make money, and even more of it at that."

"Let me go talk to Brother Tiger. As long as Brother Tiger is willing to put in a word, I don't believe that Old Wolf wouldn't give him the face!"

Being able to resolve this in another way without spending my own money was naturally agreeable to me, so I immediately patted A-Long on the shoulder and smiled...

The widest part of the road could accommodate a hundred carriages moving side-by-side. Its width was beyond the reach of any highway in later generations, making it the world's earliest, longest, and widest super-road for chariots and horses.

Everyone was of the unanimous opinion that Head Nurse Zhang had a soft spot for Xiang Qianjin; otherwise, why would she bother with Li Guoshi? She even brought him so many delicious treats. To say there was nothing going on, everyone would sooner die than believe it.

The turn of events on the battlefield naturally affected the other eight generals among the Western Liang rebels. The second to achieve glory was Cheng Pu, whose martial prowess ranked second among the five present. Distracted by the developments on Hu Che'er's side of the battlefield, the two rebel generals besieging Cheng Pu were caught off guard and struck down by his spear, followed by two simultaneous cries of agony.

Clearly, Xue Yu did not wish to sacrifice the lives of his teammates for the sake of some so-called opportunity.

The cancellation of the marriage between the Duke of State and the royal family was a welcome sight for many nobles in the capital. Tang Xiao being beaten publicly by Princess Yitai also served to vent the pent-up frustration they had once suffered under the oppression of Tang Yuan, the Duke of State.

Within a religion, incorporating positive elements can galvanize an entire nation into action.

The weather had gradually turned chilly. Soldiers on the Great Wall gripped their icy weapons as Hua Xiong watched nervously at the black mass of enemy cavalry in the north, which looked as numerous as ants.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is difficult to verify the truth of this matter based on a single monk's testimony. I believe we should immediately urge the Embroidered Uniform Guard to confirm this news..." Yuan Chonghuan maintained a cautious stance.

Therefore, in order not to lose their jobs or to fill their empty lives, many models fall into a vicious cycle of non-stop work. High-intensity labor naturally brings immense pressure; even Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell have been embroiled in drug scandals.

The Ma Teng army's current posture of besieging Huangbai City without retreating clearly showed their determination to annihilate the remnants of Li Jue's forces there at any cost.

"The Great Zhou is indeed not big enough for me to stretch my legs right now, but why should I leave? I can make the Great Zhou bigger—big enough for me to stretch my legs," Xie Guichen said solemnly.

In a short time, Lu Chen scanned the names of all the martial arts techniques, and then spent some extra time reading the descriptions of several long-range combat techniques.

By now, the eye contact between Shao Baocai and Qian Zheng had ended, and thus Xiao Pinming's aggressiveness was caught red-handed.

The Imperial Training Ground was vast, featuring over a dozen fighting rings each over fifty meters in diameter. Surrounding the rings were rows of bleachers over ten meters high, providing a bird's-eye view of all the matches below.

The Fang family brought out new bowls and chopsticks, and Yuan Yongping warmly invited the two to join them at the table for a meal.

Seeing Ye Zi gulp and nod after a moment of hesitation, Chu Xuan brought her under the Lord God's sphere of light and turned back to extend his right hand to her.

He also told him to find a way to slowly win over the beggars in town to form an information network, promising them food or small amounts of silver as payment.

With blood and bile flowing from his mouth, Qin Feng's eyes grew cloudy and unfocused. Even though he could no longer breathe, he still used every ounce of his strength to bite down without letting go.

After all, he wasn't someone who just idled away his time; he couldn't let his own sister be attacked right at their doorstep.

On the Bagoli side, only the Domain Lords could participate in the naming vote, and Ye Yun and his team were not at a numerical disadvantage.

He had always believed that White Ghost, once brought over to his side, would unfailingly execute his orders.

Various chopped fruits were placed together like a mixed salad, which severely triggered his obsessive-compulsive disorder.

"Sigh... he really isn't here anymore..." Shu Huaishan sighed and was about to turn away when he suddenly saw that the back door of the courtyard seemed to be left slightly ajar.

She was such an unlucky soul. At this moment, she wished so much that it were she lying there instead. Why was it that she only suffered some superficial wounds?

Han Yang frowned, his heart filled with deep shock. This scene was something he could never have imagined.

Going to find her father was a lie; avoiding Shen Yue was the truth. That guy didn't know when he had quietly unlocked the door; needless to say, he definitely hadn't been asleep.

I listened carefully from the side. The boy, who called himself Yun Huan, said his wallet had vanished after he woke up, and it contained his money and ID card.

Before this, no matter when I returned to my room, one thing would happen: being recorded by the surveillance camera. This was absolutely impermissible.

As soon as the cocktail party began, Luo Donghui brought Stun Walker over to where Ji Yuxi and Mo Huaijin were.

"Since that is the case, how did you conclude that the person was abducted by Zhang An?" Mu Jiusi glanced at the young man kneeling to the side.

It might be pretty, but it only added to the workload of the patrol security. These lush, dense trees were simply perfect hiding spots for people.

"Your Highness, when you went to the prison's inner ward today, you... could you see?" The lighting had been extremely dim, yet Nangong Xiaotian had been able to see even the holes in the wall. For someone who was night-blind, this was unscientific.

They were none other than Tang Renxiao, Tang Shouyi, Xue Qingling, and the second senior brother of the Tang Sect's inner courtyard, Tang Er.

"Rest assured, Your Highness, I know what to do. But, Ling Yu dares to ask, when will Your Highness send someone to rescue my two brothers?" Ling Yu's eyes were filled with anticipation. His only hope now lay with this Prince of Yan. If he refused to help, then he and Ling Qi would surely die here.
