Chapter 277: Eye-Opening! “So the west and south sides might be more likely. But last time, they came through the mountains, so we can’t let our guard down there either. That river by the village—my dad and I followed it downstream. It connects to Gufeng, Changping, and even reaches Guiyuan Town in Linhai Prefecture. Those places are still okay, but upstream you’ve got Longxing and Fengming. They’re border towns, just like our Crouching Tiger. The Northern Rong are used to crossing mountains.…- 477.5 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 276: A Good Official "Huaiwen and your younger brother seem to be very close," Magistrate Tian remarked with a sigh. Now that Crouching Tiger City was under lockdown, Yan Huaiwen and Liang Manshan, the newly appointed Household Registrars, had quickly grown familiar with their colleagues. From what he had observed, Yan Huaiwen was a man who knew how to adapt, upheld integrity, cared little for wealth, and valued promises above all. If fortune favored him in the civil exams, he would surely…

- Chapter 275: Prince Ying's Consort To act so brazenly in broad daylight—whoever did this clearly had nothing to fear. There were only two parties who could pull something like this off. Either the Crown Princess Consort herself, or the household of Prince Ying, whom she was about to marry into. The former was unlikely. The latter, far more suspicious. If Prince Ying had ordered it, there would’ve been no need for such elaborate measures. Guanzhou was his fief, far from the capital’s reach.…

- Chapter 274: Another Kind of Merit Yan Huaiwen could tell his younger brother wasn’t speaking from the heart. Tian You had always valued money, and this time, though it was a narrow victory, he had taken it through proper means. How could he not feel resentful? “For now, let’s handle this matter according to the precedent set in Crouching Tiger. I’ll look into the details myself, then we’ll decide what to do.” Guanzhou was a poor region. Officials here, whether civil or military, couldn’t…

- Chapter 273: The Reward Silver Li Xuemei said, “You know how our village folks are. If no one takes the lead, who dares to touch anything from the Northern Rong? Go explain it to them clearly. If it happens again, they’ll know what’s coming.” “As for why no one’s taking the corpses to claim the reward, I have an idea.” Yan Lao’er and Yan Yu both turned to look at her. “Our family’s donkey was brought back. Just the cheapest one, but Village Chief Luo personally delivered…

- Chapter 272: The Freedom of Paper Houses, land, possessions—as long as we’re alive and well, there’s nothing we can’t earn again. At the end of the day, life is about people, not dead things. Yan Yu understood her mother was right. Getting involved with that family would only bring trouble. “It’d be best if they stayed far away from us and never came looking again. We could go our whole lives without crossing paths.” Li Xuemei thought for a moment and said, “There might be a way to…

- Chapter 271: Letting Go Yan Yu was nearly scrubbed bald again. A freshly washed, pink-cheeked little girl was presented before Madam Cui. “Oh my, whose darling little one is this? Come, let Auntie dote on you a bit.” Madam Cui’s expression softened, and she picked up a long towel draped nearby. Pulling the little girl into her arms, she gently began drying her hair. After a few affectionate strokes, she handed the big baby back to her mother. “Sister-in-law, better let you do it. My hands are…

- Chapter 270: Fellow Villagers Reunited The man from that household had caught the plague while out searching for food. When he realized something was wrong, he pushed his wife and children away, keeping them at a distance. He wasn’t the only one. Several other families had also had someone taken away. Some had been taken recently, others much earlier. The uncertainty gnawed at Yan Yu. “Dad, the Divine Water…” Yan Yu reminded softly. Yan Lao’er quickly explained the so-called Divine Water…
