Chapter 100: Suiyang

Dong Yi said, “Hurry back to the Bai household and tell them the good news.”
Bai Huan was eager to run home in a heartbeat, yet once she had finished with Dong Yi and prepared to leave, she felt as if she were somehow at fault, especially since he was injured.
“No trouble. I’ll take you back,” he said.
“No. Feiyu, escort Lady Bai home.”
Seeing that his face had turned slightly ashen, Bai Huan no longer pressed the matter. “There’s no need for Feiyu to escort me; I can go on my own. Lord Dong, hurry back. Rest and recover, and I will come later to thank you.”
The young man withdrew his gaze, shot a calm and indifferent look into the rear-view mirror, and by then had already made his decision.
She wore a loose blue-and-white striped convalescent gown, her hair disheveled; now her eyes were burning with hatred, as if she were about to strangle Qiaoye’s neck.
Below, Sheng Four seemed to know his brother would not come downstairs, so he went to receive the honored Prince of Scandinavia himself. The two conversed smoothly in English, deep in cheerful conversation.
Clan Chief Leng seemed to have known long in advance that the Divine Emperor would summon him. He had already dressed meticulously and was seated in the grand chair in the hall.
Dr. Zhang blew away the dregs floating on the surface of his tea, took a sip, and nodded and sighed, “A fine young man, usually so clever—how could one frighten him into losing his wits, alas.”
“You two idiots!” Bai Muchen snapped, wanting to jump from the carriage and pursue on his own, but a subordinate blocked him.
Xia Zhonghua’s face darkened in an instant; he tried to shake off Qingyu’s arm, but Qingyu held him all the tighter.
Of course, if the person had been rescued, who could say he would never set foot in Great Yan within twenty years?
At that moment, countless people who had seen the trailer like Chengge felt exactly as she did—thrilled and eager.
Though Madam Qin usually kept her husband in a tight grip, in matters of great importance she would not dare to oppose her husband’s decision.
At that moment Great Hong Stronghold was holding a victory feast—more like a welcome to shake the dust from Liao Fan’s shoulders. Aside from Chu Pengtian, even the platoon leaders of Great Hong Stronghold knew Liao Fan’s identity; naturally, all those men gathered together there mainly to welcome him.
“Report, Brother Fan, is there an emergency?” Sun Boyong entered the headquarters. In the Independent Thirty-Third Division, Sun Boyong’s logistics section was the busiest one now; all construction across the Taihang Mountains depended on logistics.
The light weapons were all standard rifles of the same type, with quite a number of light and heavy machine guns and mortars as well. Most important was this: the army had been short on ammunition, but now the stock was by no means lacking. These bullets were exactly what was needed to make up the present shortage.
He never wanted Liyuan to bring danger to Changjuan in these last two years. After Dong Ping mentioned that the situation here was exceptional, he had already formed that thought. He resolved to make this place, along with Changjuan and the Hubei County Government, their last hidden refuge. If things became desperate, they could withdraw here and hold out.
Feng Lingxiao believed what Hua Qingyi said. Whenever Hua Qingyi arrived there, they would always find some work to do.
Kali’s sensuous rosy-red lips shifted slightly to one side as she gave Demos a dim, bitter smile.
Elder Chen divided hundreds of disciples into teams of four, assigning each team to a district to slaughter the city’s civilians. Anyone who resisted was met with still harsher repression, and for a moment the place became like hell on earth.
After Shibu Gu entered Elder Yi’s room, Elder Yi casually closed the door. At once the courtyard grew lively again, but only Yimao, Yixiu, and Yitianxing were not.
Noah kept his eyes on Karette, who was dressed in full formal wear, as he asked—he had already realized that this outfit was clearly meant for going out.
Xueli’s body and voice trembled slightly. A single tear slid down and fell into the tea cup she held.
The members of the Crown Prince Faction, already tight with pent-up fury, had no trouble at all in twisting off the Blue Wolf Gang thugs—men who had seemed formidable to the security guards. The crisp crack of breaking bones, followed by wailing cries, was deeply chilling.
