The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1696

Chapter 1696: 826 Seizing the City! (Chapter 1)

The sky had not yet brightened, the east was a gray haze; it seemed today would be cloudy.

After autumn set in, Shengdu suddenly cooled down. Although it wasn’t a bad thing, for the people of Shengdu who were accustomed to the autumn heat, it felt strangely unsettling.

The army was departing today, and with such weather, it didn’t seem like a good omen.

Many thought pessimistically.

In a rundown alley of Shengdu’s outer city, Li Shen had not slept all night.
