Chapter 149: City-Toppling Beauty

Setting aside whether he had the capability to kill Li Dechao, if he were to call upon the dozens of men he knew, the number of desperate outlaws who would actually dare to follow him would likely be very few—perhaps four or five?

That should be the extent of it.

For all of them, attempting to make a move against Li Dechao was an impossible task.

"If you are..."

Bao Guowei stood where he was, stunned for a long moment before finally relaxing. Finding no chair, he simply sat down on an empty patch of ground.

"This—this is actually a high-grade spiritual talisman!" The old Daoist stood up in surprise, pacing back and forth across the room several times, examining the protective charm from every angle, too shocked to speak.

In this age of declining spirituality, anyone who could perceive supernatural entities and possessed the methods to deal with them was already considered a master.

Meanwhile, Hua Defo was still exerting all his strength to expel the fragments from his body, struggling to heal his own wounds.

"President Cao is questioning me now. As an assistant to Sister Zhihua, I am naturally also an assistant to President Cao."

He stared at Bai Lingsu, completely bewildered; it was only her following sentence that left Chen Chou utterly shocked.

His eyes still held a trace of heartache. In the next second, amidst the desperate expression of the Great Arctic Emperor, he tackled him to the ground once more, pinning him down and raining down punch after punch.

Off to the side, the silent Liu Lianhu noticed the anomaly with the gold watch. He placed a hand gently on the shoulder of the man in the gold watch and gestured with his chin toward Mrs. An.

Although Lu Hao was speechless about the opponent's five-ban support strategy, he still pre-selected Rakan.

In the early stages of the match, the junglers on both sides cleared their respective bottom jungle areas steadily before heading toward the top jungle together.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, what—what is this for?" Fan Bai had not heard the conversation between Mu Yinyin and Mu Shijin. Seeing both Momo and Yinsha heading in his direction, he retreated in haste.

Before Village Chief Li could speak, someone nearby began to condemn her with righteous indignation. Jiang Yuan glanced over and recognized Jiang Yuexiu.

The hour was still early, but the palace was already bustling. Outside the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, concubines who had just finished paying their respects were emerging; every one of them was a beauty.

If one incited others to cause a scene in public, resulting in personal injury, it would constitute a criminal offense and lead to detention.

Having witnessed Ye Bing's talent, and acknowledging the validity of his reasoning, he could not help but feel secretly distressed.

If not for Chu Xing taking action, had it been any other Ming Dynasty commander, this matter would have been absolutely impossible to accomplish.

As it turned out, one day these foreign missionaries would stand before you, boasting eloquently and showing off their learning; you might understand every word, but the specific meaning remained entirely incomprehensible.

"Help Wang Tingchao put pressure on Hua Qing. Ask her when she plans to honor the partnership with Wang Tingchao," Xu Qing said casually.

"Understood." The chubby man nodded. It was true that such situations existed; even beggars were portrayed more beautifully than young masters of wealthy families, which made no sense at all.

Historically, this contingent of troops should have belonged to the rebel leader Li Zicheng, as the commanders leading them were Dang Shousu and Hao Yaoqi. Now, without Li Zicheng to lead them, they had become wretched wanderers; government troops chased them down, and fellow rebel armies refused to feed them.

Moreover, his face was far too ordinary. Chu was young; staring at that blank-slate face day after day would surely be unsettling.

Linlang was a master of stirring up trouble; she was accustomed to being the dealer. Even with the worst hand, she could remain unmoved. Li Qianji, however, possessed immense commercial talent but was entering the game with his heart for the first time. As a novice, he was clumsy, revealing his flaws, and naturally suffered a crushing defeat.

When she and Ye Xueying repeatedly tried to awaken Ye Chengxuan but failed, she decided to borrow the identity of Xia Haitong.

"Qinglian, you must help me take care of Mom. Tell her not to worry about me," Mengzhu instructed Qinglian, sentence by sentence.
