Chapter 48: Bus 404 (17)

This time, Jiang Shengsheng was pushed to the very front.
The person standing behind her paused in breath, eyes flickering with a cunning light.
Since you’ve already grabbed the big shot’s leg, don’t be so selfish—sharing won’t cost you a thing.
Nervously, Jiang Shengsheng pinched her earlobe and stepped forward, expertly selecting a black ticket.
Those observant noticed faint creases on all four corners of the black ticket.
The number of creases matched what he remembered in a flash.
The Crown Prince felt something was amiss but couldn’t pinpoint the problem; following the plan, he brought the village head before Prince Qi.
Prince Qi pondered for a moment—he hadn’t visited him in a while. With the full moon approaching, what gift should he send?
Under heavy rewards, brave warriors abound. After hearing the Khan’s promised bounty, the Eastern Hu soldiers howled as they charged toward Dongyu City’s gates, leading the assault valiantly.
Money had ceased to matter much in Old Chen’s eyes; fortunately, he still had spare funds on hand—why not use them here?
Just like Xu Shu, who secured his position in the army through a devastating fire at Baoshan.
The Spaniards naturally concentrated their colonial efforts on the four major islands: Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and Jamaica.
Originally fierce, the sword formation could not be sustained for long; but now, with the earth’s veins intertwined below and stars aligned above, the formation grew stronger with each passing day.
Guan Yu was rather strict with Guan Ping, a manifestation of his high hopes for his son, yet he occasionally revealed rare moments of paternal affection.
“Brother Shaohui, rest assured! If it’s just about debating the way, that’s one thing! But if you want to play rough, I fear no one!” Long Xing said with a solemn tone.
“Don’t worry, I would never jump ship to Qidian!” Yu Zhe, catching the implication behind his words, chuckled.
Besides earning work credits on the job, the patch of land on Yujia Mountain remained undiscovered. The Yu family continued to cultivate it, never lacking grain over the years. Now, the household could eat whatever they pleased, alternating between white flour and rice.
After adopting this new tactic, the Takeda army’s assault on the Tokugawa clan’s castle town accelerated markedly; deprived of surprise attacks, the Tokugawa forces, even knowing Takeda’s new methods, had no viable countermeasures.
Saila drew her sword, clashing blades with Marlow’s saber. The metallic ring rang clear and crisp. These two weapons had been among the most popular among warriors for centuries—swords light and nimble, sabers heavy and forceful—each with its own strengths, playing pivotal roles in combat.
Though her culinary skills were already quite good, Shinano still felt many shortcomings and longed to seek advice from Fusang but didn’t know how to bring it up.
As the New Year’s Eve drew near, though still some time away, preparations for the festival began. Especially with so many guarding the town, a good celebration required plenty of provisions.
Given humanity’s current technological level, let alone altering their chromosome count…
Hu Ba pointed at the money on the table and pushed it toward Big Gold Tooth. The three exchanged glances, abandoning their meal to immediately dash off and find another tavern for drinks.
Of course, such blunt racial classifications were not strictly enforced; for instance, the Orifen tribe, though small in number, were formidable warriors who paid no heed to the so-called top three tribes, and those tribes were equally helpless against them.
Jiang Liuer watched Pigsy with curiosity, while the girls in the vine basket babbled excitedly, waving their arms about.
Hu Li said, “Really, Master Ji?” Her eyes sparkled mischievously as she looked at Ji Fengyu. Ji Fengyu finally understood why Hu Xuan avoided this girl—if she was like this, her mother must be even more formidable. Hu Xuan’s temperament would hardly withstand such a pair.
