Chapter 62: Flame-lit Sword Dance

At the banquet, roasted roe deer, whole roasted venison, barbecued wild boar, sliced raw venison, and raw rabbit meat were served successively, filling the air with a rich aroma. There were also vegetarian dishes and refreshing, grease-cutting soups freshly made by the imperial kitchen using mushrooms and bracken ferns gathered near the hunting grounds.

As one delicacy after another was continuously brought to the tables like a flowing stream, Jiang Zhuo's initially tense state of mind gradually relaxed amidst the harmonious and joyful atmosphere.

Except for the imperial Jinbo tribute wine, which she could not drink because she was still in the period of mourning, Jiang Zhuo tasted all the other dishes.

The dark figure showed no fear whatsoever, directly striking out with a palm that carried an overwhelming, mountain-toppling momentum and an unstoppable might. The two of them engaged in combat instantly, exchanging blows. With every gesture and movement as they fought, the entire room trembled incessantly.

"Continue, then. I would really like to see what kind of scheme this mysterious person can pull off." Having said this, Zhang Yina waved her hand, and Wu Nana walked outside respectfully.

Zou Xiaojing grew angry as well. She was usually gentle simply because she was not provoked; once angered, however, she could probably send countless tough men flying with a single slap and curse them out until dawn.

When he gave a tug, he discovered that the soldier was completely limp, as if he had no bones at all. Gao Pengpeng felt a trace of bewilderment in his heart. Upon closer inspection, he found no wounds on his brother's body, save for a slow trickle of fresh blood seeping from his mouth and nose.

"Fine, I will keep my distance from you. We will arrive at the imperial city tomorrow. Are you pleased?" Sima Ang did not mind Liu Yue's repulsion toward him at all. He believed that with time, Liu Yue would discover that he was far better than Chu Yuxuan, the one she held in her heart.

By that time, Hu De would reveal the identity of the special envoy before everyone. Even if Waci only put on a show for the sake of his subordinates, he would still have to obey Hu De on the surface.

At this thought, Li Qingcheng could not help but marvel at Lin Ning's deep consideration, and his previously rigid tone softened.

"The Empress Dowager's reprimand is justified; Yue'er will remember it." Liu Yue had no wish to stir up extra trouble, so she simply chose to admit her fault. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager did not say anything further, merely rising to give her a piercing look.

"No, Father. If you truly do this, goodness knows how your mother will misunderstand again. No matter what, she is still my mother." Just how agonizing Liu Yue's inner pain was, probably only she herself knew best. Even if her biological mother could be heartless toward her, she could not bring herself to go against her again.

"This is a military exercise; why spend over two hundred thousand to hire those people for it?" Two hundred thousand or so was not a huge sum of money to Li Li, but spending it on those people was simply not worth it in her eyes.

"What are you rushing for? Neither I nor he is in a hurry, so why are you?" Mu Jingxi tossed out the words casually.

Zhen Xin looked with lingering fear at the space several thousand meters away that was still undergoing violent explosions, and let out a deep breath.

This Mu Jingxi was increasingly suiting his taste; he had always detested people who were excessively modest, pretentious, and hypocritical. Often, they would utter humble words with their mouths while feeling smug and looking down on others in their hearts.

Old Madam He had never once intended to return the dowry. Without a single word, she had spent it all, and what could they possibly do to her?

"I merely wanted to play with you just now, but unfortunately you disappointed me far too much." Frieza raised two fingers and said.

The pitch-black night sky suddenly turned blazing red, the violent fluctuations of spiritual energy drawing the attention of countless sensitive individuals.

As for Guo Qiang and Chen Song, Qiu Jinchong's words caused them to look toward Qi Yang. After all, Qiu Jinchong was their fellow sect member, and along the way, he had relied on his formidable martial arts to protect his junior and senior brothers on multiple occasions.

The Battle Flag Company, the entire military's only specialized company, was established during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Two decades ago, during the military reorganization, its designation was revoked, but it had since been reinstated.

Xiao Zhan took a sip of water and began to elaborate on various types of encounter combat formations to Jin Zi, leaving the other completely awed as if listening to a heavenly being.

The Jade Emperor glared at him and walked away. With offerings dedicated to him throughout the Four Great Continents, he went wandering about to consume the sacrificial offerings and enjoy the incense-burned worship.
