"The net of heaven is wide, but it lets nothing slip through. Qin Chuanyun, in the end, you could not escape this prince’s grasp." Xiao Ming’s spirit surged. That bastard had nearly gotten him killed, and this was a debt he had never forgotten. Wang Xuan had already heard of the Qin family’s betrayal during his return and said, "Such a heartless traitor should be hanged at the city gate to serve as a warning. The entire Qin clan should be executed to prevent future troubles." Pang Yukun did not…-

A chorus of ghostly wails rang in his ears, and the memory of that explosion experiment came rushing back again. 'What a familiar experience,' Xiao Ming thought. As he stood and patted himself down, he was overcome with a surreal feeling — he was alive! In front of him, Li San was straddling Li Kaiyuan, punching his face over and over again. The dock was in chaos. Qin family's merchant ship was slowly sinking in flames, and the violent explosion had affected nearby vessels as well. From time to time,…

The pitch-black night was dyed crimson by raging flames, the acrid stench of smoke thick in the air. In front of the official granary, the pungent scent of scorched wheat stabbed at Xiao Ming’s heart like a blade. This was months of rations for the Qingzhou Army... months of rations. "Your Highness!" A loud shout rang out, accompanied by urgent hoofbeats. Niu Ben and Lu Fei arrived with the Qingzhou troops. "Those damn bastards! Who did this?!" Lu Fei roared furiously, charging into the fields and…

"Li San, I order you to immediately send people to monitor all medical clinics. Do not let anyone who buys medicine for bruises and injuries escape surveillance." In the Qi Prince’s residence, Xiao Ming spoke solemnly to Li San. Li San had already learned about the burning of the government estate on his way back. At present, Wang Xuan was in Cangzhou City, responsible for gathering intelligence on the grasslands, while Li San handled affairs within the fiefdom. This incident filled him with guilt…

The scent of wheat mingled with the earthy aroma of soil, wafting on the breeze. In the nearby river, gentle ripples shimmered under the sun. It was a peaceful and idyllic scene—standing there amid the fields, one could almost forget the looming threat of war. If not for the barbarians, this would’ve been a picture-perfect moment of rustic tranquility. After chatting a bit more about the upcoming harvest, Xiao Ming finally shared with Niu Ben, Lu Fei, and Luo Xin the news of the barbarian envoys’…

The lone moon hung high, its silver light blanketing the earth like morning frost. In a small grove opposite the Qingzhou Army’s official estate, dozens of shadowy figures shifted among the trees, black silhouettes in the night. “Big Brother, what now? The estate is guarded day and night by the Qingzhou Army. There's no chance to make a move,” whispered one of the men. Through gaps in the trees, one could clearly see the glint of moonlight reflecting off the soldiers’ silver armor. “Yeah, the…

Bishui Pavilion was serene and elegant, peaceful and quiet—just like Consort Zhen herself. Lately, Emperor Xiao Wenxuan found himself weary of the gaudy, painted faces in the harem. What he longed for now was this calm and tranquility. Here, he could almost forget all his burdens—at least for a little while. Perhaps it was age. Perhaps just exhaustion. These days, he found himself recalling his own youth as a prince. Back then, Prince Wei, Prince Ning, and the other princes were still by his side.…

Twenty fire lances were laid neatly on the ground. After assigning the logistics to Pang Yukun, Xiao Ming turned his gaze toward the line of bronze tubes. Unlike the heavy cannons he’d developed, these fire lances were narrow at both ends and bulbous in the middle—primitive firearms, more like oversized metal muskets than true artillery. The bore was tiny, and their effective range? Not worth mentioning. Clearly, the recent insult from the barbarian envoys had stung Emperor Xiao Wenxuan—he’d…

"And also bring some beautiful women, or else be careful with your worthless life." The silent envoy glanced at Zhao Xing indifferently and spoke. Zhao Xing turned pale with fright, hurriedly apologized multiple times, and only then slowly retreated. Seeing Zhao Xing’s submissive demeanor, one of the guards said, "Taiji, now that we've come to Chang’an, we should enjoy ourselves before going back. It's said that not only is there fine wine here, but the women of Chang’an are also exceptionally…

"Squire Liu, how do you find the power of this cannon?" Xiao Ming's voice pierced through the gunpowder smoke, reaching Liu Chuang's ears and filling him with despair. Could the Prince of Qi, armed with such a deadly weapon, ever be defeated? The thought flashed through his mind but was quickly shattered. At the city gate, Liu Wei's desperate pleas for mercy could be heard—his brush with death had driven him nearly mad. "I suspect Liu Wei will be much more willing to reveal the source of the…
