You, a spoiled young master, actually became a god by investing in the Empress and getting a bargain

Patrol Battalion - Barracks Gate.

Two soldiers dressed in captain's armor stood motionless in place.

It was Yang Jie and another man with a thick beard.

The other captains were assigned to guard other entrances and exits!

They have been standing here motionless for two hours.

For these people who have served in the military for many years, guarding the gate and standing guard are nothing at all.

But... how embarrassing!

In terms of status, which one of them wasn't the most influential person in this patrol battalion?

Now, however, he stands at the gate in the scorching sun, like a newly enlisted soldier.

The soldiers passing by couldn't help but steal a few more glances.

This time, they've completely lost face!

Yang Jie gripped his sword tightly, his head bowed, not daring to look at anyone.

I regretted my thought so much!

I wanted to give them a hard time.

Now look what happened! They've shot themselves in the foot and embarrassed themselves right here at the camp gate!

But when Yang Jie recalled Xiao Yunting's terrifying strength in breaking a halberd with his bare hands and tearing apart a bull horn bow, his heart couldn't help but tremble.

Especially the heavy sword that was thrown later.

It's ridiculously heavy!

Not a single captain in the entire camp could budge him!

But when it fell into Xiao Yunting's hands, it was as easy as using his own arm!

"Oh shit!"

"I wonder which bastard started that rumor!"

"If even someone like the Commander is useless!"

"Then aren't we even worse than trash?!"

Upon hearing this...

The bearded man standing to the side also expressed some dissatisfaction.

"Yang Jie! Look at this terrible idea you came up with!"

"Now we're all embarrassed along with you!"

These words were spoken.

Yang Jie immediately objected.

"Cao Meng! Listen to what you're saying, is that even human language?"

"Who was it this morning who was banging on the table and yelling that they weren't convinced!"

"Now you're blaming me?"

Cao Meng got angry when he heard this and retorted in a rough voice.

"What's wrong with me making a few noises?"

"You were the one who leaked the information before, saying that the Commander was a good-for-nothing."

"Now you're putting all the blame on me?"

These words left Yang Jie speechless, and he could only grunt in silence.

It sullenly moved into the shadows, avoiding the scorching midday sun.

The two remained frozen in place, neither speaking for a long time. Only the furtive glances from the patrolling soldiers made their faces feel hot and cold.

Not long after, the sound of horses' hooves came from afar at the camp gate. Zhang Kui rode over slowly and smiled at the two men from a distance.

"Hey~ You two are pretty good at looking at this door."

"The sun is so bright, and it hasn't moved an inch in two hours!"

It turned out that Zhang Kui had arrived.

Cao Meng immediately went to meet him.

"Hehe~ Brother Zhang~"

"Has the Commander forgiven us?"

"Did you tell me to call us back?"

Before Zhang Kui could even speak...

Cao Meng was pulled away by Yang Jie.

Yang Jie strode up to Zhang Kui with an aggressive air.

"Zhang Kui!"

"You brat, did you already know the Commander's secrets all along?!"

"Yet they deliberately didn't tell us!"

"No wonder you slid down on your knees so fast!"

"You look like you have thick eyebrows and big eyes!"

"I never expected him to use even the smallest schemes on his own brother!"

Faced with Yang Jie's questioning.

Zhang Kui showed absolutely no remorse.

Instead, he showed a smug expression!

"How dare you talk to your buddy like that!"

"We were all captains before, and you called me by my first name, so I didn't mind!"

"Now please call me Deputy Commander!"

Seeing Zhang Kui's arrogance.

Yang Jie couldn't hold back any longer!

"oops!"

"Look at my temper!"

"You're really putting on an act, aren't you!"

As he spoke, Yang Jie's previously calm demeanor vanished.

He rolled up his sleeves, ready to go and beat up Zhang Kui.

But Cao Meng, who was standing nearby, quickly pulled him back.

"Deputy Commander Zhang!"

"You are now a favorite of the Commander."

"For the sake of our past brotherhood..."

"Please put in a good word for us, brothers!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Kui waved his hand.

"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore!"

"This was just a minor offense; the Commander has already forgiven you."

"Don't say I didn't warn you guys."

"The Commander's abilities go far beyond just physical strength!"

That's all I wanted to say!

"Let's go back to camp!"

"The Commander-in-Chief has a mission!"

Upon hearing this, the two dared not delay any longer. Yang Jie's dissatisfaction vanished instantly, and he quickly straightened his wrinkled armor and followed Zhang Kui to the central command tent.

Cao Meng also followed quickly behind, barely daring to breathe too loudly the whole way.

After the two returned to their tent, the other captains had already returned.

It was only after two hours of being exposed to the sun.

The skin of these people was noticeably several shades darker.

The expression on his face no longer held the contempt and disdain he had shown before.

They all obediently stood on both sides of the camp.

Upon seeing this.

Yang Jie and Cao Meng did not hesitate at all this time.

He stepped forward and knelt on one knee.

"Greetings, Commander!"

Looking at the two of them, Xiao Yunting's lips curled into a smile.

"Alright, go back to your positions!"

Upon hearing this...

The two of them obediently stood on either side.

Seeing that he had already subdued the group of captains.

Xiao Yunting also spoke up.

"Alright!"

"What happened before was the first time."

"I hope this is the last time!"

"Let bygones be bygones!"

As he spoke, Xiao Yunting glanced at everyone again.

Then he continued.

"Thirteen women have recently gone missing in Beijing."

"According to the message received by this commander..."

"This was the work of evil cultivators lurking within the city!"

"The goal is to improve one's cultivation by absorbing yin and yang energies before the Langhuan Jade Vein is opened."

"Let's try to secure a spot inside!"

"Now, our mission is to rescue these women... and to exterminate all these evil cultivators!"

The entire camp was only slightly quiet for a moment.

A clear and loud response rang out!

"yes!"

"We will surely eradicate this evil cultivator!"

"Rescue the hostages!"

......

At the same time.

In a temple on the western outskirts of the capital.

Li Shuyao slowly opened her eyes.

To her horror, she discovered that all around her were unconscious girls of eighteen or nineteen years old, their hands and feet bound.

Beside her, Yu'er remained unconscious.

Seeing this, Li Shuyao sighed inwardly that she was really unlucky.

She went to Jiangyunxuan to annul the engagement.

He was almost killed by a hail of arrows.

This time, I originally planned to sneak out of the palace with Yu'er for a trip.

Unexpectedly, while passing through a small alley, she encountered an old monk begging for alms.

Li Shuyao originally thought that doing good deeds was just a simple matter.

He then gave the old monk fifty taels of silver directly.

The old monk then presented a Buddhist amulet as a return gift.

But to her surprise, she lost consciousness the moment she touched the amulet.

As for the guards she brought, they didn't show up here, so they're probably in grave danger too!

Looking at the scene before her, Li Shuyao felt a little scared.

But I remained relatively calm!

What I need to do now is stall for time!

I ran away from home by stealth!

Given enough time, his father would surely discover that he was missing.

At that time, I might be saved!

The only problem now is how to ensure the safety of myself and Yu'er before my father discovers the situation and comes to rescue me.

If the other party suddenly moves their base, how should I leave a mark?

Just as Li Shuyao was pondering.

Suddenly, the temple door was pushed open.

Seeing this, Li Shuyao quickly closed her eyes again.

A kind-looking monk slowly walked in.

But a hint of lewdness flashed in those seemingly compassionate eyes!

His gaze soon fell on Li Shuyao.

"I never expected that this casual stroll would turn out so badly."

"How could I possibly encounter such an exceptional person!"

"The maidservant beside her is quite nice too."

"After I take a bath tonight, I'll enjoy myself properly! A dragon and two phoenixes, please!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing that nothing was amiss, the old monk quietly withdrew.

Listening to the old monk's filthy words.

Li Shuyao couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Father...please come quickly and save your son!"

"And...that guy..."

At this moment, Li Shuyao couldn't help but recall the image of Xiao Yunting protecting her behind her back at Jiangyun Pavilion...

The old monk had just stepped out of the temple at that moment.

Then they encountered two more figures.

One glance was enough to make the old monk unable to move!

A man appeared, his face as cold as frost, yet his appearance was unparalleled.

Her figure is incredibly hot.

He also possesses an indescribable aura of authority!

The other person was also an absolute beauty, but unlike the former, the latter was playful and cute, with a slightly youthful appearance.

When she walks, her chest bounces up and down!

She has a youthful face and huge breasts!

Her pink hair was particularly eye-catching!

Before the old monk could even approach him, the two women walked towards him.

"master!"

"We are members of the Three Absolutes Palace, passing through this area."

"I'd like to ask for a bowl of water!"
