Chapter 466: Chapter 105: Inner Breath Soars, Incident at the City Gates!_3

"No worries! Captain Jiang, proceed as originally planned!"

"Tonight is when every household has their family reunion dinner, the weakest moment in our defenses."

"It’s also the best time to break through the city gates!"

Upon hearing these words,

the leader grinned.

"Good! Then let’s stick to the original plan!"

"Tonight, the city will fall!!"

...

In the blink of an eye,

night fell,

and the cold moonlight hung high on the branches.

It shone on the snow in various parts of the city, the reflected moonlight making the county town as bright as day.

In the outer city, there were only a few red decorations,

but in the Inner City, every household had hung up fiery red lanterns.

Along the roadsides, red lanterns were also hung every ten steps.

Inside Jiang Ning’s mansion, large and small, the candlelit red lanterns were strewn across courtyards and trees.

In the main hall,

"Big sister-in-law, come sit down and eat! There’s already plenty of food!" Jiang Ning said, seeing Liuu Wanwan bustling back and forth.

By then, sixteen dishes had already been set on the table.

Such a lavish New Year’s Eve dinner was even more grand than anything he had experienced with his parents in his past life.

Upon hearing this, Liuu Wanwan turned to glance at Jiang Ning.

Then she gently smiled, "Ah Ning, you go ahead and drink with your brother first. Just two more dishes and everything will be ready."

Jiang Ning chuckled and said, "I’m not in a hurry. The reunion dinner has to wait until sister-in-law joins us for it to feel complete."

"Alright," Liuu Wanwan said, "just two more vegetables, and they’ll be ready soon!"

With that, she hurried back to the kitchen.

Jiang Ning, seeing this, turned his gaze to Jiang Li.

"Why are you looking at me like that, brother?"

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Big brother is truly fortunate to have married a virtuous wife who can grace a hall and manage the kitchen."

At that moment, he felt quite emotional,

reminding himself of some questionable people he had met on matchmaking occasions in his past life.

He shook his head, no longer wanting to dwell on those thoughts.

Having been granted a second chance at life, he reflected that his former life was like smoke drifting away.

Now, he just wanted to make the most of this life,

as he had nothing left to weigh him down from his past.

A moment later,

"Lv Yi, come sit down and eat with us!" Liuu Wanwan wiped her hands on her apron, then took it off and spoke to the somewhat reserved Lv Yi.

Hearing Liuu Wanwan’s invitation, Lv Yi looked at Jiang Ning.

"Come sit down and have some food," Jiang Ning said. freewebnøvel.com

Hearing that, Lv Yi nodded.

A moment later,

"Let’s eat!!" Little Dumpling sat on his chair, joyfully swinging his legs.

Jiang Yiming immediately poured him some fresh juice.

The idea of fresh juice was Jiang Ning’s.

The bowls of Jiang Ning and Jiang Li were also filled with clear spirits,

and in front of him, the table was set with eighteen steaming hot dishes,

including chicken, duck, fish, and meat.

At the center of the table, a pot of donkey meat bubbled with hot steam, alongside creamy white tofu.

Looking at the scene before him, Jiang Ning felt a myriad of emotions.

The next moment,

everyone had just begun to eat,

and Jiang Ning and Jiang Li had just clinked their bowls.

Boom—

Boom—

Boom—

Suddenly, several booming and cracking sounds mixed with fireworks erupted in the sky outside.

The blasts came from above Luoshui County, lighting up the sky outside.

The sound echoed like thunder, instantly spreading throughout the entire county town.

"Is that... a signal flare?" Jiang Ning asked, as he looked directly at Jiang Li.

Just then,

Bang—

Bang bang—

Bang bang bang—

The sound of drums being struck fiercely, like relentless thunder, grew increasingly rapid.

Hearing the drumming, the expressions of both men changed.

"War drums!" Jiang Li immediately stood up.

Jiang Ning nodded, slowly putting down his bowl filled with spirits.

"It must be trouble at the city gates, I need to check it out!"

"Little brother, I’ll go with you!" Jiang Li said.

"No need!" Jiang Ning shook his head and continued, "Big brother, you stay at home. The house needs a pillar of strength. As for me, don’t worry! With my current strength, I’m among the top three in the entire county town!

If there’s a crisis I can’t handle, I’ll immediately return, and then big brother, big sister-in-law, and I will first leave the county town across the lake!"

Having said this, Jiang Ning immediately left the house.
