Chapter 1222: The Fate of Eavesdropping

"The governor of Zhouhai Commandery has taken office and requires all magistrates of Zhongshan Commandery to attend a meeting tomorrow?" received notice Mangu, who had just clocked off after a busy day.

He was currently dealing with matters left by both the previous and the pre-previous governors, making these past few days incredibly hectic.

Fortunately, with two senior martial brothers here to assist, he was able to leave work on time.

"A new governor has finally arrived," Mangu lamented, reflecting on how uncommon it was to have two changes in governors within just a few days.

Mangu thought,

Since he had free time anyway, he would ask Mother Xue to help gather intelligence, and the next time he left the residence, he would have Mother Xue recount it to him.

Eunuch Liu's shrill voice echoed outside the hall, and instantly, everyone inside fell to their knees; Qi Min forced himself up from the bed to bow in salute, but was firmly held down by the Empress Dowager sitting beside him.

With things turning out like this now, Ji Xinchen's infidelity would certainly cause tongues to wag outside, yet this was still better than clinging to Ji Xinchen and facing a miserable future.

"Elder Wei did make a move, but none succeeded; instead, he was counterattacked on the spot by Chu He!" Zheng Wuying stated.

This was an old man over half a century old, visibly aged yet vigorous of stride, giving off an impression of immense vitality.

The people of the Luoshi Continent only knew that dragons were terrifying, but as to how terrifying they actually were, they had no real understanding, or rather, their understanding lacked concrete detail.

Right at that moment, around his neck, a white silken ribbon emitted ripples of gentle light; tied tightly against the skin, this white ribbon was exceedingly difficult to detect.

Coupled with the perfectly candid gaze of that Young Master Shen, Guo Hua'an felt that either this matter had absolutely nothing to do with him,

Three youths sat clustered around the two of them; Ma Jun could see nothing special about this gun, and he now felt completely detached and bored.

Seeing Lin Xiao agree, Meng Xuan instantly leaped with joy. As for the sarcasm in Lin Xiao's words, Meng Xuan simply chose to ignore it entirely.

He beckoned to Han Lingshou, saying, "Old Han, come, come, let's sit for a while. Don't you see the Commander already has a plan? We are bound to win today's battle. Hey, you! Go fetch us some wine!" he shouted toward Han Lingshou and the guards standing nearby.

In that fleeting instant, the beauty smiled, and only when facing that solitary, slender silhouette would she reveal such a breathtakingly exquisite side—one rarely shown to the world; a face once cherished not for a lord, but withered for a lover's heart, her devotion bound, never to love another.

Tossing aside the quilt, Long Tianyi slowly sat cross-legged and a spirit pill appeared in his hand; with an open mouth, it entered his body. As the pill integrated, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him underwent a violent transformation, jockeying and surging toward Long Tianyi in a frantic rush.

With his arm draped over Duanyue's shoulder, Peacock strolled with the other two along the grand street, appearing quite leisurely. Yet Duanyue noticed that the gazes of the passersby held a peculiar look.

However, this was as far as his thoughts could take him for now; dwelling on it further would offer no help to the situation. I composed my mind, forcing myself to temporarily halt these reflections.

The statement from the chef, Wei Zhuangyong, offered nothing new; after they finished eating and rested for a short while, they began playing mahjong. Until the gathering dispersed at midnight, the five of them took turns playing, and nothing unusual occurred.

Whew! Sitting quietly below the stage, Wu Qian exhaled a long, heavy breath upon hearing these words, and Wu Hao also silently breathed a sigh of relief.

The remaining Gale Wolves, along with the Snow Wolves that were still plotting against Lin Yang, saw their leader flee and dared not remain; they all tucked their tails and slunk away in disgrace.

Wu You's explanation thoroughly bewildered Guan Daxing; after all, what difference did it make whose money it was? They were all wealthy men.

"Nonsense, this is no child's play. You are not practitioners of the Dao; tag along and you won't be able to help at all, only leaving us distracted. Go find a hotel outside to stay in, and return in two days," Senior Zhang said, departing from his usual temperament.

Looking at Belial before him, Lucius had to admit that the man truly looked different from before; having undergone the baptism of blood, he no longer resembled a raw recruit chasing after a life of combat every day, but rather a proper, upright warrior.
