Remarried to a top-tier playboy, her reborn ex-husband is filled with regret.

When Xiao Fang led his men overboard into the Prince of Jin's mansion, the entire city was so quiet that only the sound of the night patrol's clapper could be heard.

The lanterns in the backyard swayed gently in the wind, casting a dim yellow light on the stone steps.

Lu Zhao led ten men to the left, and Lin Hui led ten men to the right.

The rest of the people followed Xiao Fang and headed straight for the main courtyard.

The two guards outside the door had just heard footsteps and hadn't even turned around when someone dislocated their jaws from behind.

A flash of light from the blade grazed their throats, and the two men collapsed limply to the ground.

Xiao Fang didn't stop walking, passing through the covered walkway.

The lights were still on in the main hall.

Two night watchmen were dozing on the steps.

One person heard a noise, opened his eyes, and then everything went black.

Just as the other was about to draw his sword, Lu Zhao appeared out from behind him.

He grabbed the guard's head and slammed it heavily against a nearby pillar.

The man didn't even utter a sound before collapsing like a tattered sack.

Xiao Fang kicked open the carved door to the main hall.

The door hinge made a cracking sound.

The servants inside screamed and shrank into the corner.

Xiao Fang ignored them and walked straight to the East Warm Pavilion.

Outside the East Warm Pavilion, two armored guards were the first to react, raising their swords to strike.

Xiao Fang ducked, and one of the men's knives slashed past his ear, the wind whipping his hair.

He wiped it away with his backhand.

Blood spurted from the man's neck, spraying directly onto the screen behind him.

Before the other person could stop his momentum, Xiao Fang kicked him in the chest, sending him flying backward and knocking over the lamp stand.

Xiao Fang stepped over the still convulsing body on the ground and pushed open the door to the warm pavilion.

The Prince of Jin was sitting up from his couch.

The fighting outside had alerted him.

He wasn't wearing shoes, just a robe, and his hand was reaching under his pillow for a knife.

Xiao Fang came in first.

"Xiao Fang?"

The Prince of Jin's pupils contracted sharply.

He never imagined that this person would dare to bring such a small group of people straight into his bedroom.

There are at least several thousand private soldiers outside. Is this man insane?

Xiao Fang didn't answer. He drew his long sword from his waist and walked over step by step.

"Prince Jin, you harbored Long Yuanming and plotted a rebellion. I, the commander, sentence you to death!"

The Prince of Jin suddenly shouted.

"Guards! Kill him for me!"

Nobody came.

The only sounds in the courtyard were short screams and the thud of weapons hitting the ground.

Those personal guards, bodyguards, and even the experts kept in the palace were all as fragile as paper.

Xiao Fang brought few men, but they were extremely ruthless.

That's not killing, that's harvesting.

Some people didn't even have time to draw their knives before Lu Zhao slit their throats.

Some people, relying on their skills, tried to retreat into the back room to call for help, but Lin Hui wrapped a soft whip around their ankles, dragged them back, and killed them with a single blow.

The Prince of Jin's face gradually turned pale.

"You had already set up this scheme."

He gritted his teeth and said.

"You know perfectly well that my territory is heavily guarded, yet you still dare to bring such a small number of people to storm my residence."

Xiao Fang had already walked up to him.

"If I didn't barge in, would you have opened the door for me willingly?"

The King of Jin suddenly understood.

From the moment the city was besieged, Xiao Fang had no intention of wasting time with him.

The presence of 30,000 men outside the city only made him think that this was a protracted war.

Make him feel that he can protect it, so that he won't run away.

It also made him feel that Xiao Fang wouldn't dare to really push this old prince to the brink of despair.

Who knew that this kid would sneak in that very night.

No wonder he slaughtered all 70,000 Northern Hu cavalry.

If it weren't for the shortage of food supplies, the Northern Hu royal court would probably have been destroyed long ago.

The Prince of Jin stared at Xiao Fang, then suddenly smiled.

That smile was bitter and hateful.

"I lost to you because of your age."

You're too young, so young that I thought you were just bluffing.

"I underestimated you."

The Prince of Jin suddenly drew his sword from under his pillow and slashed at Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang did not dodge.

A flash of light.

The King of Jin only swung his sword halfway.

His throat split open first.

Blood gushed from his mouth, mixed with a very faint word.

"Xiao..."

He lay back on the couch, his face upturned.

His eyes were still open, filled with resentment and a hint of resignation.

The commotion outside the warm pavilion gradually subsided.

Xiao Fang's men have already searched the entire palace.

Of the three sons of the Prince of Jin, two died in the midst of the guards, and one tried to escape from the back hall.

Lu Zhao blocked him at the door, kicked him over, and stabbed him in the heart.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, some of the loyal retainers drew their swords and committed suicide, while others rushed towards Xiao Fang with their lives on the line.

They all collapsed three steps away from him.

After killing fifty or sixty people, the Prince's mansion was completely leaderless.

The rest of the people had already collapsed to the ground, not daring to even lift their heads.

Xiao Fang ordered his men to lock the female relatives in the west wing.

"Don't touch them without my permission."

Then he went to the front yard and had the city gate opened.

"Welcome the Dragon City Guards into the city."

The city gate slowly opened.

Torches outside the city shone as brightly as day.

Thirty thousand Dragon City Guards filed in, like a black tide pouring into the Jin Prince's City.

Most of the private soldiers guarding the city were still asleep when they heard the commotion; by then, a knife was already at their throat.

Some people tried to resist but were killed on the spot.

Many others, seeing that all was lost, threw down their weapons and knelt by the roadside.

They hadn't been unaware that Xiao Fang would break in.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

It happened so fast that no one had time to put on their armor.

Xiao Fang stood in front of the Prince of Jin's mansion and said to Lu Zhao.

"Martial law was declared throughout the city, all city gates were rotated, and flags bearing the character 'Xiao' were hung."

Lu Zhao accepted the order and led his men to carry it out.

Lin Huiyin led a group to search and confiscate the Prince's mansion.

That night, the city of Jin was filled with the sounds of horses' hooves and armor.

Torches stretched from one end of the city wall to the other.

The people huddled inside their houses, and no one dared to come out and see.

By daybreak the next day, the large banner with the character "晋" (Jin) on the city wall was gone.

Instead, a large black banner was erected.

The flag only has one character, "Xiao".

The people were terrified for a while, but then they found that the Dragon City Guards did not make things difficult for them.

Xiao Fang and his men, however, had no time for that; they were happily ransacking the house!
