234: Chapter 234 Imperial Aura? The Empress Ignores It Completely

The first to make a move was not Gu Yuexi, but rather Chu Sheng, who was lazing about in his original form, sleeping in Gu Yuexi's hair.

Is this Mu Linyuan not a complete idiot?

Originally, it was just out of consideration for the promise made to Ye Qingzhou that he couldn't be bothered to lay a hand on him for the time being.

Yet this guy still had to come up and blather on, and his tone was actually like a male green tea bitch?

Consequently, Chu Sheng acted on the spot, directly fusing a Soul-Exploding Flame Feather and throwing it right at Mu Linyuan's face.

"Then we shall settle on Chuanxiong and Borneol. Chuanxiong is pungent and warm in nature; it has the effects of promoting Qi, relieving depression, activating blood circulation, and alleviating pain. It is one of the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicines for invigorating blood and resolving stasis..." The oldest doctor was summarizing while shaking his beard when, unexpectedly, a childish voice continued.

"How is it? Are you getting used to the taste?" Lang Lele swallowed with difficulty and asked, lacking confidence.

Amidst the sound of rain, Zhao Cui's voice sounded somewhat sharp and grating. Zhang Yi remained silent, watching him quietly.

Zhang Hao was stunned like a fool; that gemstone was clearly the Heart of the Azure Water he had seen last time, hidden inside the Blue Phantom.

The several elders had all sorts of expressions on their faces, with Grand Academician Han being the most embarrassed. It was clear that he desperately wanted to turn the tables and regain some face.

Although everyone was having afternoon tea and chatting, they couldn't help but be curious: how much did that guy with the iron shovel actually dig, and did he find any gold?

After another noisy discussion, Mrs. Zhou finally said to let it go. She was helpless; what else could she do? They were all from the same village, and since the other party had apologized, she had no choice but to let it slide. She couldn't keep pressing the issue; otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stand her ground in the village, and everyone would distance themselves from their family.

Mo Tiange and Nie Wushang both nodded. A person with independent consciousness and a puppet obviously have different levels of power; this was self-evident.

"Father—no, I mean, the Duke of the State said it was kept for emergencies." Qiaozhen hadn't paid attention and had blurted out "Father," then quickly corrected herself. They weren't even married yet; calling him that already was just too embarrassing, as if she were so eager to get married.

Gong Yuanke frowned slightly and pursed his lips tightly. His spirits weren't as high afterward; although he tried his best to hide it, both Ming Fei and Gong Yuanhe could see that he was preoccupied.

"Duanxia is ignorant; I beg the Empress Dowager to forgive me." Duanxia bowed deeply, her smooth forehead hitting the ground heavily. Because she was worried the Empress Dowager might feel uncomfortable, she hadn't removed the thick fur cushion, so even if Duanxia used a lot of force, it didn't hurt much.

"Commander-in-Chief Hu, I need your help!" Commander-in-Chief Zhu walked into Hu Guoshan's office.

Large tracts of land were reclaimed, forming fertile fields that could even be sown, allowing for self-sufficiency.

The corners of his mouth curled into an arc. Looking at Wanyan Hongzhi, Shangguan Long, and the others not far ahead, Tang Xiao's eyes were filled with wickedness.

Lin Baifeng gripped the hilt of her sword and said, "My Yunshan will not kill a single innocent person; we only want to find the culprit. As for your punitive expedition, my Yunshan will absolutely not participate. If anyone comes to persuade us, they shall be like this cup." Upon hearing this, the sound of a teacup shattering was heard.

"Order the troops to cease their attack!" Xue Boling still issued the command to pause the attack. He had to ensure the truth of what was said in Liao Fan's telegram; it was better to be safe than sorry! If what they took back was just a patch of ruins, and so many soldiers had sacrificed themselves, they would have suffered a huge loss.

Al was startled; this was indeed his exact thought process from just a moment ago. Al was now able to control his inner voice well, not letting his psychological thoughts be easily emitted in the form of sound, so these were not leaked by himself.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Li Ziyuan still decided to re-equip the First Company with 7.9mm rifles. Moreover, although the Czech-style rifles had better performance, ammunition for these rifles was relatively difficult to obtain. Except for Wang Tieshi's puppet troops, other puppet troops on the southeastern Shanxi battlefield generally still used 6.5mm rifles or Hanyang-made rifles as their main weapons.
