Chapter 272 Zhilan's Banquet.
Chapter 272 Zhilan's Banquet.
After escorting Gu Yiheng, the former war god of Da Yu, Zhang Liu had a stroke of good luck. He climbed his way up to the third rank in the officialdom, but for three years he could not advance any further. At that time, Master Zhang was very anxious.
Aunt Zhao and her daughter Gu Zhilan, who went back with Zhang Liu, are now called Zhang Zhilan. This noble lady from the capital city is quite popular among aristocratic ladies. She appears aloof and beautiful.
In particular, Zhang Zhilan always wore a luxurious and fashionable robe whenever she appeared, and her dark hair was adorned with exquisite and eye-catching precious hairpins.
The woman in red with her hair in two buns complained to the girl in yellow beside her:
"Hmph, with that vixen-like face of hers, Brother Rong can't even see us when he comes!"
She was Xue Yulan, the second daughter of the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. The pampered young girl had been in love with Di Rong, the handsome and talented heir of the Dongbo Marquis's mansion, since childhood. Unfortunately, for many years, he only treated Xue Yulan as a younger sister.
The woman in yellow was sixteen years old. She had black hair, fair skin, and crescent-shaped eyes. She was Wei Furong, the legitimate daughter of the newly returned General of the Cavalry.
A dozen or so young women of different appearances sat in the secluded flower banquet hall. The young woman in the head seat was dressed in a magnificent and elegant manner. She was Princess Yuansheng of the Dayu Dynasty. It is said that on the day she was born, many beautiful five-colored birds flew around the roof. She was also a woman who was predicted by the national advisor to be blessed with a phoenix destiny.
No one knew that she was an imposter; the real Princess Yuansheng had been switched at birth and sent to suffer in a remote mountain valley in the north.
The woman who swapped the children was a high-ranking female official. She resented the princess's mother for taking away the man she loved. Thus, a ridiculous and terrifying child-swapping scheme was successfully staged. Before she died, the female official regretted her actions and told the story to a master named Liaokong at the Minbei Temple.
The following day, bandits robbed the temple's distinguished guests, and Master Liaokong was accidentally injured by the bandits and became a vegetable for many years.
This secret was hidden away as if it were a child's play. The real princess died a day earlier, and then less than ten seconds later, the interstellar mecha warrior Bolan had her mecha secretly damaged by an enemy who planted an invisible time bomb inside while repairing the mecha.
The once-proud Lady Bolan fell in space. When she awoke again, she found herself lying on the rocks at the foot of a mountain, wearing a tattered hemp robe.
Bolan felt intense pain in her back and head. She looked at her outstretched, scarred hand. Her body was covered in hidden injuries and marks from being abused.
"Have I traveled through time?"
Having read many electronic time-travel novels, Bolan never imagined that one day he would become a member of the time-travel army.
Is Shi Hai here?
……
hiss...
"Master, Shi Hai is severely damaged and is repairing itself."
Bolan breathed a sigh of relief. She took out a blue, high-grade repair potion from her spatial storage, unscrewed the cap, and gulped it down.
In less than ten seconds, Bolan felt a sharp pain in his head, which had subsided to a tolerable level of occasional stinging.
The bloody scrapes and bruises on her back had instantly turned into scabs.
Bolan stood up and walked around the area. The air here smelled wonderful, filled with the fragrance of grass and trees, much better than the air she smelled in interstellar space.
Suddenly, Bolan felt a sharp pain in her head as a large amount of the original owner's memories flooded into her mind.
ten minutes later……
A hoarse and cold whisper rang out:
"Damn it, how dare she treat a newborn human infant like that..."
Bolan angrily crushed a stone in his hand.
rustle……
"Hiss..."
