Chapter 73: Your Wife Has a Younger Sister

Emperor Yunshen returned to his room. Gazing at the person sleeping soundly on the bed, he gave a faint smile and lay down as well.

Early the next morning, Su Qingli was awakened by the commotion outside. Still groggy, she sat up and nudged Emperor Yunshen beside her.

"Time to get up, Li'er, stop kicking."

"Mm..."

...

Liang Yi knew the punishment for theft was severe. Back when he caught a thief in Xizhou, although the stolen goods were worth only a few thousand taels of silver, the man was still heavily punished. For someone like him, who had stolen over ten thousand and showed no signs of reform, with other offenses besides, even execution would be considered lenient.

Li Bing took one look and thought to himself, so this old man is the true culprit. He had sensed earlier that the old man's three souls and seven spirits were not quite right—much stronger than those of ordinary people, yet showing no trace of cultivation. Li Bing was still puzzled, wondering if this was natural. But as soon as that sword was drawn, a wave of demonic energy filled the air, revealing the old man's true nature as a demon as well.

Amidst the chaos, he managed to pull out a few talismans. Li Bing checked them and was relieved—not mistaken after all, as their positions hadn't changed. These were the ones.

Afterwards, Liang Yi, Zhu Chen, and Zhang He chatted eagerly. He Yuxiang, however, remained silent from start to finish, only refilling his cup when it was empty. The conversation eventually, and deliberately, shifted toward him, though nothing specific was discussed.

Cain let him punch as a way to release energy; otherwise, he likely would have been bedridden for some time.

Gu Zheng pushed the data cart into a conference room, and immediately began reviewing the box Mr. Gage had described as especially important.

Suddenly, he stepped forward, roughly lifted Shangguan Wan's skirt, and tore open the fabric over her left leg.

"Haha, good! I haven't thanked you for what you did today. Naturally, you must be treated to the best wine," the village chief said with a laugh.

At Lü Bu's command, the captain had him subdued at once, forced to his knees! Several of his guards tried to intervene, but were immediately surrounded and had no choice but to relinquish their arms and submit to being bound.

By that time, Jin Yexuan already knew Qiqi's true identity. No wonder he had been so desperate for me to come home that night... Suddenly, I completely understood Jin Yexuan's strange behavior that evening, and nodded seriously.

"General, please go ahead to scout the enemy's strength. I, together with General Gao Lanying, will follow with forty thousand troops," came the reply, in a tone strikingly different from previous orders, making it clear that Zhang Kui and Gao Lanying held a special place in Zixin's heart.

Just as both sides were about to come to blows, a thunderous noise erupted. Before everyone's eyes, an ancient city suddenly rose from the earth, stretching for tens of thousands of miles—a domain as vast as several human empires, truly an awe-inspiring sight.

Taking the Imperial Seal and the young emperor with him, Dong Zhuo retreated to Hedong High School. Relying on the seal, he began forcefully raising troops. For the likes of the Yellow Turban rebels, he offered great rewards and brazenly colluded with them, inciting the fury of all.

"Yes!" Seeing the old cavalrymen thus, Yi Ning's lips trembled as if he had a thousand words to say, but in the end, he forced himself to remain silent. Tears streamed down his face, full of sorrow and reluctance.

"Heh, if you want to kill me now, you don't have enough experts for that," Yun Jie replied carelessly.

The summit of Peach Mountain was not broad, and at its very center stood a single, ancient peach tree, alone and desolate.

At that moment, Sirius' soul issued a sharp warning. Yun Jie sensed danger and immediately shifted form, trying to break free from the combat circle.

"Shopkeeper, did these evil spirits of Yellow Fang Mountain only appear in the last couple of days?" Lei Ming suddenly interjected.

Because You Xiaotian's mother had an 'unfortunate' background, very few people actually knew of his existence. Even the entrusted ministers Jiang Ling and Ouyang Wenqing were unaware of him.
