"How would I know that? It seems that Jia Cong is exceptionally capable, which is why this situation has arisen!"

"Then we can't let him continue to exist. I'm afraid the changes in the Ning and Rong mansions started with this kid!"

"What's the use of just talking tough? The main problem is that we can't even get close to the military camp, let alone get close to that kid Jia Cong. We can only stare helplessly!"

"Should we continue to hold out? Who knows when we'll find an opening?"

"Then let's try to get closer. If it doesn't work, we'll leave. If the opportunity arises, we might end up wasting a magical artifact!"

"Monk, you are so generous! If it were me, I certainly wouldn't waste this magical artifact!"

"What do you know? If you don't suffer some losses, how will you explain this to the Fairy Maiden later?"

"Oh, I see. It's because you, monk, have too many tricks up your sleeve. How could I, a Taoist priest, have thought of such things?"

"Stop being so sarcastic. If we ever have the chance, we should definitely team up!"

The monk and the Taoist priest made their decision and quickly put it into action!

At this very moment, Jia Cong's troops also launched their bandit suppression operation.

At this time, Jia Cong and his three thousand men had established a standard procedure for suppressing bandits.

They rarely contacted local officials and instead carried out bandit suppression missions independently!

The preliminary reconnaissance is complete; now it's time to take action!

Despite the extremely dangerous location of the target stronghold, Jia Cong and his soldiers were all full of confidence and did not take the enemy seriously at all.

This confidence comes from hard work, not from blind arrogance!

As before, Jia Cong also personally took charge. Although he did not go directly to the front line, he still followed the expeditionary force, serving as both commander and reserve force.

For some reason, Jia Cong felt uneasy ever since leaving the military camp!

It felt like a powerful enemy was secretly watching, and I was being targeted; this feeling was not pleasant.

If it were Jia Huan, he would be on high alert by now, and might even cancel the operation altogether.

He has a keen sense of danger and would never risk his life.

Even if Jia Huan's physical abilities and military skills at this time had reached the peak level that mortals in the Dream of the Red Chamber world could achieve, he would not be too arrogant.

The world of Dream of the Red Chamber is quite mysterious; who knows if there are any special methods used by people to harm others in the common world?

Knowing of the existence of Fairy Disenchantment and the Realm of Illusion, Jia Huan naturally dared not underestimate the experts and extraordinary individuals of this world, otherwise he wouldn't even know how he died.

However, Jia Cong lacked the experience of his previous life and was completely unaware of the peculiarities of the Dream of the Red Chamber world. Coupled with his confidence in his own martial arts skills and his men, he naturally wouldn't abandon his plans just because some ominous feelings suddenly arose in his heart.

Doing that would severely damage the morale of your men!

But when the monk and the Taoist priest found an opportunity and launched a fierce attack on him, Jia Cong was filled with horror and sensed a strong aura of death.

"court death!"

Jia Cong roared, his blood surging within him. The spear in his hand was like a venomous dragon emerging from the sea, carrying an incomparably terrifying power that overturned the ocean. Accompanied by the condensed killing intent and baleful aura on his body, he forcefully blocked the fierce attack from the monk and the Taoist.

"Assassins! Protect the general!"

In the blink of an eye, Jia Huan's personal guards reacted and immediately surrounded him.

At the same time, a fierce and violent rain of arrows, like a storm, hurtled towards the monk and the Taoist.

They were careless, or perhaps they underestimated Jia Cong's martial arts skills, or perhaps they were unwilling to waste a powerful magic weapon. As a result, their first attack missed, and they lost the opportunity to strike again.

As mentioned before, Jia Cong's men were already considered elite.

Having experienced numerous battles to suppress bandits and been in a state of constant readiness, their response was remarkably swift.

"go!"

The monk and the Taoist priest reacted quickly, immediately fleeing in the face of the rain of arrows.

When the ground was covered with countless arrows, where could the two of them be found?

Jia Cong was still shaken, but he did not stop the bandit suppression operation. He simply became more cautious, always under the protection of hundreds of personal guards, and did not reveal the slightest flaw.

He felt incredibly lucky. The arrogance that had grown from his consecutive victories vanished completely; he was genuinely frightened.

By the time he realized what had happened, he couldn't even remember what the assassin who had suddenly attacked him looked like!

It just came to mind by chance that the other person seemed to be wearing a monk's robe and a Taoist robe?

Fortunately, the bandit suppression operation went smoothly, and some remarkable items were even found among the spoils, which greatly improved Jia Cong's mood.

Once they returned to their temporary post, they breathed a sigh of relief and wrote down their experiences in a letter, which they then delivered to Jia Huan as soon as possible.

Even if he didn't report it, the martial arts instructors from Ningrong Street who followed him couldn't possibly hide it from him.

This is also a way for Jia Huan to protect him!

They were afraid that Jia Cong's higher status would lead him to develop an unwarranted arrogant attitude.

Because of pride, they were unwilling to proactively disclose the danger they were facing, which led to a major disaster!

As I said before, the world of Dream of the Red Chamber is probably not shallow!

If you are too arrogant and careless, you won't even know when you'll capsize, and that would be truly tragic.

Jia Huan wasn't trying to monitor Jia Cong's every move; he wasn't that unreasonable!

The main purpose was to plan ahead, so that if Jia Cong encountered a formidable opponent, Jia Huan would be able to know about such an enemy immediately.

He will either come directly to help, or find a way to provide more reinforcements!

The purpose was very simple: besides ensuring Jia Cong's safety, it was to give him a final push.

The Ning Rong Street branch only has so many resources!

After Jia Huan enters the army through the military examination, most of the resources will be used for him.

At that time, Jia Cong will be able to rely on his own abilities and the network of connections among the four major families of Jinling in the army.

Jia Huan had already explained these things very clearly to Jia Cong!

If he was unwilling, Jia Huan certainly wouldn't force him. After all, Jia Cong had already reached a certain level, and it was normal for him to have his own thoughts and ideas.

Whether they can return to their previous close relationship in the future is another matter entirely.

The monk and the Taoist priest suddenly appeared in the mountains a dozen miles away from Jia Cong's army camp.

There were no signs of battle on his body, but his breathing was slightly unstable.

"My god, that kid Jia Cong actually cultivated the Qi and Blood Martial Arts! He almost got hit!"

"Fortunately, we didn't use any magic when we attacked, otherwise we would have suffered a terrible defeat!"

"Monk, who knew that Jia Cong's martial arts skills were so amazing, and he even exuded a chilling killing intent and murderous aura? He's truly incredible!"

"Hmph, it's only because I didn't use my magic weapon back then, otherwise he would already be down by now!"

"There's no point in talking about this anymore. Shall we continue?"

"How can we continue? That kid is definitely on guard now. It will be very difficult for us to succeed!"

"Hey, who knew that kid's martial arts were so good? He was able to react even when we launched a surprise attack together. Only a few so-called top masters in the martial arts world have that kind of strength!"

"Stop talking nonsense, let's head to the capital!"

"That's all we can do. Hopefully, the situation in the capital won't get too out of hand!"

After saying that, the monk and the Taoist priest vanished in a flash.

Because they were worried about accidents, they walked slowly.

However, what made the monk and the Taoist quite uneasy was that they actually noticed that the closer they got to Zhili, the stronger the official atmosphere became.

They dared not enter the city, but simply continued along the official road.

When it comes to resting, people usually either find a dilapidated temple by the roadside or stay overnight in a village.

Even in slightly more prosperous towns, they are not very willing to settle down.

This is the frustration of cultivators in the Dharma-ending Age; the mortal environment is simply too unfriendly.

After traveling all the way to Tongzhou, they did not continue towards the capital.

There was no other way; even though they were fifty or sixty miles away, the capital city gave them a very dangerous feeling.

As a cultivator, it's impossible not to take this feeling to heart.

They didn't even need to ask; they already knew what had happened.

Although the current court is still in a situation where two suns are in the sky, it is very different from the past.

The previous situation was described as two suns vying for glory, but now it's one sun shining brightly while the other is about to set.

The current emperor has already gained an absolute advantage, and the national fortune and dragon energy covering the capital city can no longer be as great but weak as before!

The Great Qian Dynasty was at its peak, and the dragon energy of the capital city exerted an astonishing suppressive effect on cultivators.

Given the level of cultivation of the monk and the Taoist priest, they probably wouldn't even have the courage to enter the city gate.

"We can't even enter the capital now, what are we going to do?"
