Volume 1 Chapter 54: The Assessment Begins

The next natural disaster is a cold snap?
And it will last for three months?
As soon as the announcement came out, Zhuang Fan and Zhong Xiaohan instantly lost all mood for flirting.
Zhong Xiaohan hurriedly stood up and asked nervously, "Zhuang Fan, what should we do? Is the temperature going to drop immediately, and we haven't prepared anything yet."
Thus, Chenchen happily pulled Li Bai's hand and walked in front, while Leng Ruobing walked behind them.
Lü Jiawen's reputation in Kaifeng Prefecture was utterly notorious, and the unruly commoners of Kaifeng were famously bold. Leaving aside Lü Jiawen, the Minister of the Court of Imperial Supplies, even later figures like Cai Jing had been blocked at their doors and cursed at.
Listening to this, Li Zunxu also felt that this made sense. He asked a few more questions regarding diplomatic etiquette and then let him return.
For beneath the gentle facade of the Song Dynasty's imperial court lay an incomparable concentration of absolute power. Later, Zhu Xi once evaluated the local governance policies of the Song Dynasty thus: the military power was taken back, the financial power was taken back, and even rewards, punishments, and penal administration were completely reclaimed.
Didi's safety standards were much higher than the current ones; not only did it require various registrations, but vehicles also had GPS tracking, and even if drivers detracted from the route... as long as this actually happened and a complaint was filed, Tang Jueheng would definitely resolve it, which naturally won people's praise.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, completely ignoring my words as if he hadn't heard them, and stubbornly kept holding my hand. It seemed he was afraid I would run away.
Come. I had anticipated this day long ago, but I hadn't expected it to arrive so late—so late that it came only when I was already deeply entrapped and hopelessly addicted.
"I see. Since there is such a disaster, old Lu certainly wouldn't harm me. Thank you very much this time, sir." Zhu Erdan bowed again.
Hearing this, several military generals immediately nodded in deep agreement. Yiqi Gan furrowed his brows without raising any objections.
"Let's go!" Seeing Lan Xin and the others board their spacecraft, Li Bai quickly collected his thoughts. Future matters could wait until later.
"Many thanks to Shopkeeper Su for your generosity." The young man turned and bowed to Su Ying. He was a scion from an impoverished family, and practicing body-refinement was a measure of absolute helplessness. He had thought this trip meant certain death with zero chance of survival, yet not only did he manage to survive, but his cultivation realm had also achieved a breakthrough.
"Greetings, Peak Master Miao. I wonder what guidance Peak Master Miao has for this trip?" Lin Zhan cupped his fists toward Miao Wu.
Asuka and Daigo did not specifically mention what they said to Tiga, and then the two of them left Tiga's house. When Daigo came to the second floor and looked at Bai Ye, his expression inexplicably seemed somewhat unnatural.
The spring breeze swept across, and an acacia tree beside the ruins rustled. White petals and withered yellow leaves fluttered down in the wind.
The practice of aristocratic clans raising personal guards of retainers was something basically everyone knew in their hearts, but it was strictly forbidden by the law. Once discovered, it was a crime punishable by the execution of the entire clan.
Before Bai Ye could continue asking, Yuelian vanished into the room with a swoosh, instantly leaving Bai Ye utterly bewildered. Was he really that terrifying? Or was he asking about something he shouldn't have, making her run off without even finishing her sentence, leaving behind only a head-scratching puzzle for Bai Ye?
"Yes, and no! Laifu, why don't you explain it properly to the young master?" Xiao Huasheng said with a smile.
Back in the day, Golden Hair was, after all, the leader of the "Five Fiends of the Heavenly River," and his ferocious reputation was passed down through the ages. Therefore, the one cultivators feared the most was naturally him; the one most capable of drawing aggro and attracting firepower was also him.
Ever since she obtained the medicinal powder from Ruyi in the painting last time, it seemed to have become a habit. Every day at a specific time, she would leave the palace to find Ruyi, and every night she would also regularly make pastries for Princess Mingyue to eat.
"Maybe what I said was closer to American English, and not very fluent! The two of them claimed to be Germans, but given their advanced age, judging by their accent, they should be native British. English has slang just like our hometowns, and there are huge differences in pronunciation between countries." Guo Jinfang thought for a moment and speculated.
