Chapter 28: Send Them Away, the Farther the Better

The next morning, Wen Min called shortly after eight o'clock to say that the jadeite raw materials had arrived.

In a freight yard near the port, a white medium-sized box truck sat with its rear doors open.

Wen Min smiled slightly and said, "These materials are a gift for you. No matter what is inside, I will have no regrets."

"What if there's imperial green jade inside?" Zhao Chen curled his lip, not quite believing her.

The truck bed was filled with uncut raw stones. There were no windows cut into them, and no signs of quality were visible from the outside—he didn't even see any stones with sand skin. It was impossible for them to be high-quality goods.

After all, three tons of material was no small amount; if they were all carefully selected high-grade pieces, the total value would be in the hundreds of millions.

Zhao Chen jumped into the truck bed...

Cao Yi felt a mix of laughter and frustration, yet he had to admire Chen Ao's eloquence. A matter that could have been labeled as contempt for royal authority and disturbing the capital was actually spun by him into a patriotic feat.

Suddenly, just a few steps into his run, he heard a thunderous roar from ahead. He squinted and saw dozens of white-robed foreigners charging toward them. Chen Ao was startled; he never expected to encounter enemies from this direction.

Before the new year, Marquis Shen had submitted a memorial stating that he was getting old and wished to return to the capital to retire. His eldest grandson, he noted, had grown into a man and could now share the burdens of the Emperor.

Upon arriving in Russia, Du Lianhuo acted like a man just released from prison. He was jubilant, pointing out everything he saw and constantly chattering to Xiao Zhan, displaying extreme excitement.

"We aren't going there specifically for that. We were already planning to have dinner at my uncle's house," Zhang Ren explained with a smile.

The Central Dynasty still had a garrison of nine thousand at the foot of the Seven Sacred Mountains. As long as Atushi could link up with them, he would have no reason to fear Sun Wukong; at the very least, his life would be secure.

After a long time, the First Prince finally stabilized his surging emotions. He sat back down and asked, "Since Mu Jinxi intends to use these to participate in the Imperial Merchant competition, what is her specific plan? Have you found out?" Asking this question meant he had believed Ling Muhua's words.

Looking at the blurred images of the Four Divine Beasts, Qin Ling felt pensive. Suddenly, the knowledge of altar cultivation that Gongsun Jing had just passed on to him surfaced in his mind. It happened to include the concept that when a divine altar is first formed, the Four Symbols stand guard. He immediately began to investigate what these so-called divine altars were all about.

As soon as Jue Lin heard Mu Jinxi's words, she understood her intentions. She wanted to let the previous incident pass and ensure that no one would ever mention it again, right?

The jade pendant fit perfectly into the indentation on the stone platform. Xing Ran dared not be careless; she gripped the edge of the platform and twisted it. With every full rotation, the stone wall shook violently. By the third rotation, a crack appeared in the wall.

Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Opening her eyes slightly, she saw Lan Shengyan with his head bowed, biting down hard on her chest.

Lin Yi's eyes snapped open as she looked at him. However, this was clearly an elderly man with wise, bright eyes, bearing no resemblance to the handsome youth in blue robes she had seen on the streets of the Xiqi capital that day.

Those who had previously harbored similar thoughts, upon hearing about Ruan San'er and seeing the pile of gore at the front gate with their own eyes, dared not say another word. They could only pin their hopes on the Fang family.

With food in one hand and her bag along with his laptop bag in the other, he carried Pengpeng, and the three of them left McDonald's together.

Shen Wuan felt deeply guilty at this moment. Looking at Min'er's heartache, he felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.

Actually, Wang Xiang could also testify. When he saw the Empress last night, he had not sensed that she was going to leave.

Hearing her aunt lead the people away, Helan Jin finally emerged from the other end of the corridor, feeling both anxious and worried. If her aunt returned to the Qiang Kingdom and news of her own arrival reached them, the child's life would be in danger.

Staring into the distance, I thought, we will rise in the future... because we are all people who refuse to fall into depravity.

Ling Ying froze upon hearing his words, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. Judging by his master's tone, it seemed... he was extremely angry? Beyond furious?

Early the next morning, the train transporting the Second Replacement Regiment halted at a temporary stop thirty miles from Miaotou Town.

In view of the current state of the Second Replacement Regiment, Zhang Wei slightly modified the training plan, placing the soldiers' physical condition above all else. Without physical fitness and basic stamina, any training would be in vain.

It could be said that his understanding and recognition of the power of the Main God exceeded that of the vast majority of Asuras.

With a loud "splash!" a massive sound of hitting the water rang out. Both of them fell heavily into the pool, sending up countless sprays and ending up looking like drowned rats.

Su Jinyue raised her hand, killed a wolf, and then glanced in the direction of the Black Water Mysterious Snake. Seeing him leaning against the barrier with a depressed look on his face, the words the snake had just spoken within the restrictive barrier involuntarily surfaced in her mind.

Once the power of the Main God was unleashed, Barien's combat strength became equivalent to that of an Asura powerhouse using the power of the Main God, directly elevating him from his original 7-star combat capability to the 10-star level.

The lone remaining "Magpie Stepping on a Branch" was guided by the sword seal formed by Zhao Wu'an's right hand. It seemed to take root, firmly condensing a foot in front of his right hand, brimming with surging sword intent.

After the Second Replacement Regiment entered Burmese territory and drove from Wanting to Lashio, British trucks took over the task from the Fifth Army's transport regiment. After completing the handover at the border, hundreds of American-made GMC ten-wheel transport trucks manned by the British slowly carried the entire Second Replacement Regiment to Lashio.

Black Star clung to her like a spoiled child, refusing to let go no matter what. The words coming out of his mouth were full of coquettishness, leaving Jian Yang feeling both miserable and strangely sweet.

The more critical the situation became, the calmer Yang Ming remained. Knowing full well that the tiger would not die instantly and would pounce on him, he knelt on one knee, raised his repeating crossbow, and prepared himself.
