Chapter 65: Your Highness, I am Here to Discuss Official Business

Why go to such lengths to infiltrate the Princess's Manor?

What else could it be for?

The Lin Xuan case has already been scheduled. It will be tried jointly by the Three Judicial Offices at the Shuntian Prefecture on the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month—the very last case handled by the imperial court before it closes for the New Year holiday.

If Lin Xuan remains alive, he will pose endless future troubles. Presently, he is locked up in the Dali Temple, heavily guarded by that brat Su Mu, making him nearly impossible to approach.

They are forced to strike from other angles.

For instance, targeting someone capable of swaying Lin Xuan's mind, so that Lin Xuan—

At this moment, the Jurchen cavalry behind closed in once more. Shangguan Yun violently yanked the reins, and Trixue pranced in place for a few strides before spinning around to charge straight back at the enemy soldiers. Rushing forward with unstoppable momentum and a fierce intent that completely disregarded the curved sabers of the Jurchens, the steed appeared all the more majestic and heroic.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Po’s palm strike was merely a feint. His right hand instantly morphed from a palm into a claw, lunging to seize the Dazhui acupoint on Hou Qimo’s back, while his left hand abruptly changed trajectory, whistling fiercely toward the twin palms of Huo Wuyi. None of the three anticipated that Nangong Po would resort to such a perilous move; seeing that he was about to subdue Hou Qimo, it was already too late to counter.

Meanwhile, despite enduring excruciating agony, the benefits were immediate. Under the energy control of the system, the power within Luo Xiu's body was converted into the Five Elements Geomagnetic Primordial Force, which served as the ultimate method for forging his physical body.

"That was due to extenuating circumstances. Who told him to sneak off and go street-racing behind my back? Beating him is getting off easy; it's a miracle I didn't kick him out of the house," Mr. Cheng said bitterly.

Ever since Zhang Rui publicly exposed Qu Xiaoxiao for underbidding and intercepting sponsored resources, everyone knew whose side she was on, and that she was at odds with Yin Yi.

Luo Yufei's body shuddered and his face paled, while ahead of him, the Water Element Attendant lunged forward directly, thrusting an ice sword straight at him. Gritting his teeth, Luo Yufei rolled across the ground, narrowly dodging the blade. At the same time, the Fire Element Attendant whipped her long cord around, thrusting viciously forward.

The pilots of these fighter jets stared at Leona suspended in the sky, their hearts tightening instantly. It seemed she was the very person who had turned their continent completely upside down. Glaring at her with furious eyes, the pilots locked onto her targets immediately, launching several missiles straight in her direction.

The Maritime Trade Supervisorate maintained brokerages specifically to regulate private trade, responsible for assessing commodity prices so that the quoted prices did not deviate too drastically from actual market values, while facilitating commercial transactions between Chinese and foreign merchants.

Who could that be if not the Soul-Breaking Blade, Fang Xiaoming? Shrieking at the top of his lungs while brandishing his steel saber, Fang Xiaoming used his other hand to desperately haul up his sagging trousers as he closed the distance.

"This isn't just an ordinary shade of brown. Don't you think this brown is so dim it's almost black?" Yan remarked indifferently.

After walking for a good while, the sounds of fighting behind them gradually faded until they were barely audible. True to expectations, hidden projectiles were once again launched at the two of them from directly ahead.

Upon hearing this word, even those who had previously been burning with unresolved indignation felt a chill strike their hearts, their faces draining of blood. How could they not be terrified? Such a situation meant that although their master possessed a noble status, she lacked any backing within the court of the Rongnan Dynasty. Should any unforeseen crisis arise, she would find herself utterly isolated, trapped in a dilemma where advancing and retreating were both blocked.

Leaning against the window to count the sleeping water lilies scattered across the pond one by one, An Yourong deeply feared that she might choose to go completely insane out of sheer boredom, just to comfort her rapidly expanding talent for blanking out.

As for what the title "Tengri Khagan" meant, they could not understand it, so they uttered a similar expression in the Wajin language, treating it purely as a phonetic translation without conveying its actual meaning.

Yet, within this calculated compliance, she wondered how much genuine desire there was to truly be with her.

"You are all excused from formalities," the Demon Emperor's voice radiated an oppressive authority, making the fur on Xue Meng's body stand on end.

Suddenly, the tribesmen behind all came to a halt, and Jesse in the front stopped as well. He turned back, gesturing for her to remain silent, before sinking into a low crouch as though poised to launch an attack at any second.
