The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

Even without high-ranking generals, it would be acceptable to appoint more capable clansmen as mid-level officers in the various armies of the capital.

Unfortunately, according to Jia Huan's knowledge, none of the core members of the Ning and Rong mansions had any intention of supporting collateral branches.

Without going into further details, Jia Huan and Xue Pan arrived at the city gate tower.

The weather is quite nice today, with a clear blue sky and not a cloud in sight, and the blazing sun radiating boundless heat.

The two men raised their monoculars and carefully observed the martial arts battle taking place in the distance.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall!

Jia Huan had no desire to take any risks and directly rejected Xue Pan's bold suggestion to observe from a distance. What if something unexpected happened?

It was clear that Xue Pan didn't take it seriously, but then an unexpected incident actually occurred.

Through the monocular telescope, Xue Pan's ten carefully selected guards, armed with clubs, stormed into a courtyard four or five miles away.

In the short time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, they went in with great fanfare, only to be kicked out in an even more disheveled state.

Jia Huan's hand holding the monocular telescope tightened suddenly; he was startled by what he saw.

Suddenly, a man strode out of the courtyard, his hands striking out in rapid succession with the ferocity of a tiger, his fists and palms brimming with immense power.

It's too far away, and we don't know the specifics.

Through the monocular telescope, any Xue family guards hit by this fellow were sent flying backwards as if they had been hit by a moving tractor, weighing about 180 pounds.

It's similar to the fighting style in movies and TV dramas, and the power it displays is exaggerated.

Such experts are naturally few and far between. Even ordinary skilled guards from the Xue family could handle them, and might even gain the upper hand.

Unfortunately, there was no true master who could deliver the final blow. Most of them were easily defeated by that incredibly strong man. Judging from the way they were sent flying backward, they were probably seriously injured!

Jia Huan's teeth ached from looking at it!

I didn’t think that ordinary martial arts in the Dream of the Red Chamber world could be that powerful or lethal.

Now it seems that I underestimated the martial arts foundation of this world.

Then my heart was filled with passion!

He never expected that the martial arts of blood and energy in the Dream of the Red Chamber world would be so powerful at such a high level. Naturally, he didn't want to let it go. Who doesn't dream of becoming a master?

"Trash, they are all a bunch of trash!"

Xue Pan, standing nearby, was not in such a good mood. His face was grim, and his tone was extremely dissatisfied: "You all bragged so much before, but it turns out you're all just empty shells!"

Of course, that's a bit of an exaggeration. Apart from the incredibly strong man on the other side, the other skilled fighters could only fight the Xue family guards to a standstill, and were even clearly inferior.

Unfortunately, Xue Pan wasn't one to reason things out. No matter how powerful the opponent was, once he lost, he lost and there was nothing more to say.

Thinking back to how he had patted his chest and made repeated promises to Jia Huan, even someone as thick-skinned as him couldn't help but feel embarrassed and blush. It was truly fucking awful.

At the same time, a wave of fear washed over me. Luckily, I had listened to Jia Huan's advice and hadn't rushed to the front lines, otherwise I would be in grave danger. Just thinking about how I had been punched away by that burly man was unimaginable.

"No need to be angry, your people were just bait!"

Jia Huan chuckled, "Look, the person I shook has arrived!"

Xue Pan hurriedly looked closely, and the scene in the monocular telescope made his face turn pale. He couldn't help but gasp and exclaim, "Huan-ge'er, why did you bring them out?"

No wonder he was so shocked. Through the monocular telescope, a group of elites from the Embroidered Uniform Guard suddenly appeared and captured both sides who were fighting fiercely.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard, those are the Embroidered Uniform Guard's men!

While not everyone would avoid them like the plague, few normal people would willingly interact with them.

"No need to be surprised!"

Jia Huan said calmly, "When the Embroidered Uniform Guard was established, the founding nobles contributed a lot and even arranged for many people to enter it!"

However, the royal family later tightened its control and went through several purges, and the manpower of the various noble families gradually dwindled. But the connections remained, so it was not difficult to ask them for some small favors.

There's no need to tell Xue Pan about these things.

Let this guy figure it out himself; he might come up with some unexpected results.

That's right. He had spent a full three thousand taels of silver to ask Qiu Liang for help, which was to get the Embroidered Uniform Guard to cooperate with the Xue family's guards.

If the Embroidered Uniform Guard were to be dispatched alone, Jia Huan was worried that it would scare away the experts in the courtyard. Who knew if they had set up a safe passage?

Now things are really messed up. Their attention was completely drawn by the Xue family guards, and before they knew it, the Jinyimen forces caught them off guard, capturing most of them, if not all of them.

Ok?

Jia Huan's smile suddenly froze, then turned into a rather amused expression.

Through the monoculars, one could see a powerful man who could take down almost every guard from the Xue family with a single punch.

Faced with the sudden appearance of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they did not choose to surrender immediately, but instead launched a fierce resistance without hesitation.

This fellow was like a tiger descending from the mountain, his fists and feet flying with astonishing power, forcefully blasting away the three or four Jinyiwei men who had surrounded him.

Judging from the fact that these Jinyiwei (Imperial Guards) personnel were still in mid-air, spitting out blood, they would probably be seriously injured even if they didn't die, and would be bedridden for at least a few months.

The remaining Jinyiwei troops were shocked and enraged. Without saying a word, they swarmed forward. After more than a dozen of them were knocked away, they finally managed to seriously injure and capture the fierce man.

Now, even a fool would know that these guys have a problem again.

The Embroidered Uniform Guards dared not delay and quickly dispatched men to search the courtyard.

Jia Huan smiled slightly upon seeing this, realizing that his guess was correct.

This is a major case, an absolute major case!

"Let's go, let's hurry home and guard the house, we hope nothing bad happens!"

Putting away the monocular telescope, Jia Huan grabbed Xue Pan's arm and headed straight down from the city wall.

In his heart, he was extremely glad that he had been careful and had not shown his face from beginning to end.

Even if the other party is desperate and tries something rash, they won't be able to find him for a while.

But his underlings, those arrogant thugs, might be in danger, and even the small martial arts school itself might not be safe.

We need to go back and make arrangements quickly, lest we suffer a setback at the last minute.

"Brother Huan, why be so cautious?"

Xue Pan followed with quick, small steps, wondering how Jia Huan, at such a young age, could walk so fast.

"Heh, what kind of person do you think would dare to resist the Embroidered Uniform Guard's arrest?"

Jia Huan glared at the fellow with annoyance and warned, "He's not someone we can afford to mess with!"

"Brother Huan, Brother Huan, you mean, a traitor?"

Like a bolt from the blue, the shock left Xue Pan dazed and terrified. His face turned deathly pale, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat, making him so frightened that he could barely speak.

Jia Huan moved swiftly, speaking calmly: "Besides that, they could also be a powerful outer core force kept by a wealthy and influential family, the kind that can't be brought into the open!"

"Brother Huan, you have to save me and the Xue family!"

Xue Pan was even more frightened, his legs went weak and he could hardly stand.

With lightning speed, she lunged at Jia Huan, grabbing his right thigh and refusing to let go, her voice trembling with tears.

Even if he wasn't very bright, he knew he had gotten himself into big trouble, and the entire Xue family might be doomed.

Jia Huan sighed and stopped walking briskly.

If he hadn't been afraid of hurting Xue Pan, he almost couldn't resist kicking Xue Pan's big head to wake him up.

There happened to be a tea shop next door, the semi-open-air kind.

He simply went in with Xue Pan, found an empty spot to sit down, and didn't have to worry about being overheard.

He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Things haven't gotten to that point yet, what's the panic?"

"But this time, it was the Xue family guards who took the lead. A quick investigation will reveal the truth!"

Xue Pan wasn't stupid either, and hurriedly said, "If they retaliate, won't they be targeting the Xue family directly?"

"You little rascal, now you're scared, aren't you!"

Jia Huan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, as long as you avoid the most dangerous period in the next few days, there shouldn't be any problems. Don't scare yourself!"

Seeing that Xue Pan didn't believe him, he said irritably, "If there's a big problem in this matter, it will definitely be reported to the Emperor. Do you think the Emperor will remain indifferent then?"

"Either the government follows the trail and rounds up all these lawless bastards!"

"Either those guys hiding in the shadows have no choice but to jump out and cause trouble!"

"No matter which one it is, it will be a catastrophe for them!"

"Even if some escaped afterward, wouldn't the Xue family's guards be able to protect themselves?"

"Besides, once Ni Er and his group gain control of the entire canal, they can use江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the martial arts world) methods to deal with the other side. There shouldn't be any major problems in the short term!"

"To put it bluntly, the better Ni Er and his group develop, the more secure we will be!"

Of course, there was something Jia Huan didn't say aloud.

When that time comes, it won't be long before Ni Er and the others are out of control.
