Chapter 186: The Final Choice

Having finished speaking, Yuwen Deguang wore a faint smile and closed his eyes slightly, quietly waiting for the final choice of the people before him.

As far as Yuwen Deguang was concerned, he had never believed in the so-called loyal ministers and brave generals. Therefore, today he wanted to see whether the subordinates of Shi Le, the Left Worthy King legendary for ruling the realm with benevolence and virtue, would also practice those two words of loyalty that he despised the most in his heart.

......

Unfortunately, she did not die at the hands of those seeking revenge, but rather perished at the hands of the person she trusted most.

"You certainly dare to speak your mind," Han Yuan said with a huff and a laugh. Brother Qi's evaluation was truly harsh, yet it laid bare the helplessness shared by all of them as subjects.

Past memories surfaced in his mind. Lin Hanxing slowly closed his eyes and began to tap his fingers rhythmically against the bed railing, as if using the motion to recall something.

Two bowls of noodles and two fried eggs were placed on the dining table. To practice Qian Wan's philosophy of "nutritional balance," Xia Jie had additionally brewed a bowl of carrot and beef soup, which looked and smelled utterly appetizing.

"Always focusing your thoughts on useless matters, without considering how to bring a withered tree back to spring—no wonder the entire Lin family has fallen into a state of decay and corruption in just over a decade." These words, drifting into Shen Shuer's ears, carried profound meaning.

"It certainly is lively." After entering the city, Wang Lingyun politely closed the door. Although the crossbar wedged across the middle of the east side gate had broken, the other bolts remained intact, allowing the east side gate to be barely shut, even if it lacked its former sturdiness.

Kong Shen seemed to have been provoked into a fury by Xiang Lian, with flames of wrath blazing up behind him. It felt as though the entire shop was about to be ignited by Kong Shen's anger.

She truly disliked the feeling of being suppressed by others; even if Taosang were his eldest brother, she still wouldn't like it.

"Then aren't you, someone who has entered the top six of the clan trials twice in a row, a monster among monsters? Besides, I more or less know the abilities of the others, but regarding you, who will be my next opponent, I am completely clueless," Su Mu shook his head and smiled.

"When this subordinate went to intercept and kill that assassin, the arrow had already been loosed. General Liu failed to knock it away, so..." Shadow One dropped to one single knee, having only just recovered from the shock of the previous assassination attempt.

Under such circumstances, no matter how calm Yan Bian usually was, his emotions at this moment were quite turbulent. Naturally, this emotion could not be one of joy or happiness, but rather of profound disappointment.

The island nation's helicopters were identical to those produced by the 331 Base. Judging merely from their appearance and firepower, one could discern no difference at all. Since they had been manufactured using the wreckage as a template in the first place, the discrepancies were naturally minimal. While the island nation's military-industrial manufacturing capabilities were lacking, their capacity for imitation was undeniably top-notch.

Lü Ting, Gao Ya, and the others subconsciously followed along, but upon catching my gaze, they immediately halted their steps.

"Very well, I have already expelled the curse within your body. You can give me the route map now!" Ryan looked at Aru's grandmother and said straightforwardly.

Liu'er believed Gao Huaiyuan's words, so she stopped speaking of Qiutong. She helped Gao Huaiyuan take off his clothes, hung his saber and scabbard on the bedpost, and upon seeing Gao Huaiyuan's strong and robust muscles, her face suddenly flushed red, filled with an apologetic expression.

"Alright, enough of this. There is a matter Mother wishes to entrust to you." Tantai Yue even changed her form of address.

At that moment, Mongolian soldiers and generals had already begun to swarm onto the city walls not far away. Waving their sabers, spears, maces, and axes, they engaged in brutal hand-to-hand combat with the Song soldiers on the ramparts. Despite the Mongolian army's reckless and ferocious assaults, they were ultimately succeeding in breaching the walls.

"Then have my master come and rescue me!" Sun Wukong, knowing full well that his previous actions toward the Bull Demon King and the others had gone too far, hastily spoke up.
