childhood friend (idiom)

Strive for defeat

childhood friend (idiom)

Fight for mercy

Arranged in a crisscross pattern

Be attracted to each other

swindle and falsify

be in one's declining years

Lying on the back of the mountain

Windy

Plant hair and wear crown

official loyal to his sovereignand good high-ranking military officers

Fight for power and money

Lament to heaven and knock one's head on earth

Pulp extraction

Having maps on the left and history books on the right -- a home library

Upright

family producing public officials for successive generations

Draw a sentence

Be surrounded by beauties
