Chapter Fifty-Two
To be honest, Duan Jing also felt it was a pity, but safety mattered more than anything else: "The same trick will not work a second time. This forcible collection of grain probably wasn't even because the granary was raided, but simply their routine requisition. If that is really the case, they will definitely discover the theft of the granary by tomorrow morning at the latest. By then, the number of guards will increase, and we will have no chance to sneak in again."
Jiang Bai knew that the majority of the grain was actually hidden outside the city, and this batch brought inside—
Jiang Yunyi remained silent. The moment a bolt of lightning flashed, she covertly observed Shi Yi, missing not a single detail. Shi Yi was already used to it; every time he met Jiang Yunyi, it always began this way.
"Ha-ha, sir, just follow me," Xu Gui chuckled softly, not even looking back as he spoke.
"I am a Holy Spirit Body, far more valuable than this Emperor Yuan, old man Qingfeng! Why do you have zero sense of value?!" Wu Feng's handsome hair was tugged into a complete mess, his face full of exhaustion.
Hearing this, the two nodded and stepped up onto the carriage first. Liang Lingwen boarded last. Then, with a crack of the driver's whip, the fine steeds trotted forward, departing from the gates of the Chen residence and galloping across the broad roads of Qiaoshan Town, racing all the way toward the direction of Yunshan Town.
The Miao Mercenary Corps took in two new members, growing from 27 to 29. After a brief rest, they set fire to the wildcats' den. The remaining wildcat spirits had long since scattered in all directions; anyone who still chose to hide inside would simply become a dead cat.
Wu Zongxian, who had hidden far away, Zhang Hanyu inside the house, and Li Keqin, who was hiding behind Lin Zhiling, suddenly shouted as they rushed out from every corner. They quickly swarmed around the popcorn, staring at the white kernels inside the mesh net with gasps of continuous amazement.
Miao Renfeng's heart stirred at the thought. Could the "Hundred Flowers Heart" refer to an elixir capable of restoring one's youth and appearance?
Hearing this, Song Zheng instantly breathed a sigh of relief. He truly feared that Feng Xiaogang would recklessly insist on booking out the theater. If New Picture Pictures managed to seize upon that as a handle against them, goodness knows how much dirty water would be splashed onto them by then.
Could it be that, simply to challenge him, they had set up a combat stage here and specially selected the most formidable person to challenge him?
"Heh-heh-heh! It seems I was wrong; these people are not shabby at all!" The person let out a laugh, then stepped forward on tiptoe, testingly stroking the beautiful coat of Flying Sand. It continued to chew on the grass, showing complete indifference to the approach of a stranger.
The playing cards that had rebounded backward slashed past the back of Greedy Wolf once more. At this moment, Greedy Wolf was covered entirely in blood, with not a single inch of intact skin left on his body. At that moment, King let out a cold laugh, then spoke indifferently.
As for my side, discounting that alternative-style girl, there were still nine others, and they had guns too. There were hundreds of ghosts, and some from ancient times—probably left over from the Ming Dynasty. Just as humans grow astute with age, ghosts grow wise with time; the older they were, the higher their cultivation. If you casually picked a few dozen of them to go up, they could wipe out the Seireitei directly.
Suddenly, one day, upon going downstairs and seeing promotional photos all over the streets, Yin Sizhe paused his gaze.
Binghan saw Xiang Jun glance in this direction, hesitated for a moment, and then hurried away. He sighed, got to his feet, and walked outside.
"Answering Your Imperial Majesty, this son did not think as far ahead as the Crown Prince; I merely thought that this task is probably something Eighth Brother would be willing to do." Fourth Prince immediately distanced himself. He truly hadn't thought that deeply into it, and of course, at this time he had practically no opportunity to come into contact with the Imperial Household Department, so he naturally wasn't very clear about the inner workings of it all.
"It's good that you understand. You and I are on good terms, and your wife can also be considered my sister-in-law, so naturally I must protect her. Fine, I'll tell you this: the forces that moved to injure this ghost sister of yours come from two sides," said the Fairy of the Green Fields.
