Chapter 158: I Am Going to Save My Mother

The Chi family's wine?
Yun Shuang suddenly remembered that yesterday He Wenjun had told her she had spent a heavy sum to buy two jars of wine specially for cooking during the banquet for the visiting Prefect of Suzhou.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
She pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps the robbers simply didn't realize the value of these two jars of wine?"
"The wine brewed by the Chi family always bears their own emblem on the jar. The Chi family's wine enjoys quite a reputation in Shanyang County. If the culprit is a local from Shanyang County, it is unlikely—"
Watching the workers leave, only Fu Junzhi, the Liu siblings, the eight robust servants of the Liu family, and the relatives of the Xie family remained.
Realizing that the cake was still left inside the refrigerator and she hadn't yet asked Song Tian for her birthday gift, all of today's plans had been completely disrupted by the sudden appearance of Yang Yangyang. It was impossible for him not to feel resentful inside.
Su Qing fell silent, her expression filled with despair. She never expected that her own father would actually utter such words.
How could he not understand? He simply did not want to burden Su Wanqiu any further. If that were the case, she believed Su Wanqiu would never want to learn so much from this place.
He knew that such actions were futile; even if he blocked a hundred numbers, as long as Han Jiaran was willing, she could easily continue using a hundred and first number to harass him.
"There's nothing uncertain about it. Even if I return to work at the company in the future, at a single word from you, I will drop everything and return to your side. Business can never be finished, and work can never be completed, but your need for me has a time limit, and I'm afraid of missing it." Lu Zeyan turned his face slightly and kissed her.
With a swift turn as he spoke, Du Feng kicked the man in black who was blocking his path flying out.
How could he not understand what kind of situation this was? He had clearly been harmed by a practitioner of the Dao.
Lin澤 looked back and, just as he had guessed, they were being sent out from that hidden door.
"Sigh. I don't know what's so great about Li Xiang. It would be so much cleaner to just kill him directly," the parrot guest complained.
Yu Jin barely managed to hold out for thirty rounds, knowing well that he was no match for Zhao Yun. Seizing the opportunity when Zhao Yun retracted his spear, Yu Jin feinted a slash, wheeled his mount around, and fled into the midst of the chaotic troops, galloping toward the rear.
Within this Grade-A territory also lay the domains and dependencies owned by Star Fall, including one Grade-A primary territory, two Grade-A independent territories, one Grade-A settlement, and a manor.
Xian'er's fingertips trembled slightly, and she fixed her gaze upon that piece of crystalline stone. There was even a hint of yearning on her delicate face, a desire entirely different from the covetous urge she had shown when snatching the earrings.
Normally, anyone facing such a situation would choose to gracefully concede and punish themselves with three bowls of wine, allowing Liu Guangyun to crack a few jokes and say a few polite words on behalf of Chief Zhang, letting the matter pass with general laughter and banter.
The fiery warmth of the wine spread throughout his entire body. Drinking almost to his limit, he flung the vessel aside, the blood-like hue staining the pristine snow.
Facing Dongfang Zhi's question, Si Cheng smiled with a somewhat bashful shyness. It wasn't that it was inconvenient to speak of, but rather that there was simply no way to explain it, nor anything left to say.
With the massive armies of two wandering marshal divisions laying siege, even negotiating the surrender of the Wolf Alliance, which had just captured Guangzong, became difficult. After all, the reputation of the [God of War of Yushan] preceded him, his troops posed a genuine and terrifying threat, and the captives within the city were deeply emboldened, stubbornly refusing to surrender. The private militias, in particular, remained steadfast in their resolve.
Then, the figures of miscellaneous minions already appeared in the river. Once attacked by them, Oda Nobunaga would find himself in serious trouble today. At that crucial moment, one of Oda Nobunaga's trump cards was finally forced out—a ten-second invincibility skill, after which he turned on his heel and sprinted away, vanishing into a powerful stealth technique the moment he reached the shore.
Fighting two opponents simultaneously, Zhao Yun showed not a sliver of fear. His Bold Dragon Spear swept forth in a roar, resembling towering waves and echoing with the roars of tigers and dragons. Within twenty rounds, he thrust his spear through Qiao Rui, killing him instantly.
Stepping into the white light, the surrounding environment shifted once more. The setting transformed into a desolate, uninhabited city, where the sun overhead cast patches of mottled light and shadow upon the ruined walls of the ancient stronghold.
