Martial Arts Crossover: Starting as a member of the Imperial Guard, all the ladies are demons

Upon receiving this news, all the officials were terrified, fearing that they would be the next to suffer.

Mao Xiang also immediately presented all the charges against these people to Xiao Jingyi.

Looking at the stacks of reports in front of him, Xiao Jingyi carefully read through them.

"I never imagined that the Wang family would grow so large over the years that they would even implicate three local military generals."

He wasn't surprised that the Wang family could win over the civil officials of the southern border.

After all, they are a prominent family, so it's normal for them to have contact with these civil officials.

He just hadn't expected that the Wang family and the generals would also be involved, which made things a bit complicated.

After a moment of contemplation, he immediately said to Cai Quan, who was waiting beside him: "The Wang family has colluded with officials, seized land from the people, and won over military generals, intending to rebel. I hereby issue an imperial decree to exterminate their entire clan."

"All other officials shall be dismissed from their posts, imprisoned, and punished according to their crimes, and sentenced as appropriate."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Cai Quan respectfully accepted the list of crimes handed to him by Han Le, and then withdrew.

He knew that many officials would be brought down again, but he had no intention of pleading for them, because they all deserved to die.

After speaking a few more words with Mao Xiang, Xiao Jingyi then told him to go and rest.

After finishing his work, Xiao Jingyi yawned: "Now that things are done, let's browse the online store."

As he spoke, he habitually opened the exchange shop.

The next moment, something immediately caught his attention.

Thousand Machine Crossbow: 10 points per unit.

"Zhu: Capable of firing up to one thousand crossbow bolts simultaneously, possessing extremely high destructive power, even effective against Grandmaster-level martial artists."

"The Thousand-Machine Crossbow?"

Upon seeing the new items recently added to the store, Xiao Jingyi immediately became interested.

For martial artists, from the ninth rank to the first rank, they train their bodies and internal strength, also known as internal power.

After reaching the Innate Realm, one's internal energy becomes a powerful force that can be emitted from the body, much like sword energy or knife energy.

At this point, internal energy transforms into true energy, a more powerful and special form of energy that can perform extremely powerful functions.

After reaching the Innate Realm, a Grandmaster not only possesses more True Qi, but the strength of True Qi also increases, and a True Qi shield forms around their body, which is also a protective aura. Under such circumstances, ordinary swords and blades cannot harm them.

Either fight against equals, or overwhelm him with sheer numbers, or suppress him with a military formation.

Of course, besides this, there is another type of weapon specifically designed to deal with martial artists, such as the Breaking Crossbow and the current Thousand Machine Crossbow.

The Grandmaster realm involves the infusion of true qi throughout the entire body. Whether it's the skin, internal organs, or bones, true qi provides protection, indicating that one has developed their body and true qi to their limits.

It is said that long ago, there were no three realms: Innate, Grandmaster, and Great Grandmaster.

Instead, one progresses from the ninth rank to the first rank, then directly achieves the Vajra Realm, and gradually breaks through other realms.

These three realms were developed later, and Xiao Jingyi did not know why, nor were they recorded in history.

"The Thousand-Machine Crossbow, that's a good item. Shall I exchange for one and give it a try?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi immediately changed to another bottle.

He then took it out of his spatial storage, and saw that the Thousand Machine Crossbow was enormous.

It is ten meters long and five meters wide, and on it are placed a thousand bows and arrows, each one zhang long, arranged in ten rows of one hundred each.

The arrows exuded a chilling aura, making even Grandmaster Xiao Jingyi feel the danger.

However, this thing could not harm him in Daliang because he had Daliang's fortune with him.

After a quick look around, Xiao Jingyi discovered that this crossbow had two firing modes: one was to fire all the crossbow bolts at once, and the other was to fire them one by one, with the direction adjustable.

This reminded Xiao Jingyi of Katyusha.

"This is Katyusha of the martial arts world."

"The refilling process was much easier than I had imagined. I had thought I would have to refill each one individually."

After studying it for a while, Xiao Jingyi discovered that the Thousand Machine Crossbow was loaded in rows.

"If there were enough arrows, this would definitely be a deadly weapon on the battlefield."

"Since I'm planning to conquer various countries, I'll exchange for a few more."

After glancing at his remaining 20 points, Xiao Jingyi immediately redeemed two more aircraft and used all the remaining points to buy more points.

Then he sent someone to summon Mao Xiang.

"His Majesty!"

Mao Xiang entered the imperial study and respectfully bowed.

At the same time, he noticed the row of crossbows in the main hall, and even felt threatened, which made his pupils shrink.

No, I've only been gone a short time, when did these three things appear?!

What divine weapon has Your Majesty acquired this time?

Even I, a Grandmaster at the peak, felt the danger.

"hehe."

Noticing Mao Xiang's gaze, Xiao Jingyi chuckled and stepped forward, asking Mao Xiang, "Mao Xiang, what do you think of these three Thousand Machine Crossbows?"

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang came to his senses and bowed respectfully to him: "Your Majesty, this is a divine artifact. Even I dare not guarantee whether I could survive facing it."

"You're being modest. If you had dodged with all your might, it probably wouldn't have been able to hurt you."

He patted the Thousand Machine Crossbow.

Mao Xiang scratched his head: "Your Majesty, one might be manageable, but there are three here. If they're all aimed at me, I have no way to dodge."

098 The determination to perfect the law, the power of a thousand crossbows (Please subscribe, please customize, please do everything)

Upon hearing Mao Xiang's words, Xiao Jingyi chuckled softly, "So I plan to secretly send them to Northern Yan, so that Prince Jing and his men can fight more easily."

What do you think?

"Your Majesty, I have no objections."

As he spoke, Mao Xiang glanced at the Thousand-Machine Crossbow and then at the door of the Imperial Study.

With a troubled expression, he said, "But if we want to transport it out, I'm afraid there will be some difficulties."

Noticing his gaze, Xiao Jingyi looked at the Imperial Study again, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Ahem, you don't need to worry about this matter. I have my own way of handling it."

"Go back immediately and gather people. I order you to deliver it to Prince Jing in complete secrecy and without any damage!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"

Mao Xiang immediately accepted the order, then stood up and curiously examined the items. He rubbed his hands together and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, do you have any extra Thousand Machine Crossbows?"

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard might be useful sometimes when they block doors."

To be honest, Mao Xiang was very envious when he saw the Thousand Machine Crossbow.

With this thing, next time he blocks the door, we can just have him line up in a row and fire at him like crazy.

Just imagining that scene made him feel excited.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi immediately kicked him in the shin: "You dog, you want to take everything you see. Don't even think about it this time. We'll allocate more to you later."

"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, your divine power is unparalleled, and your benevolence and virtue are boundless. Mao Xiang thanks Your Majesty for your reward!"

Mao Xiang immediately expressed his gratitude.

Anyway, for him, the first thing to do was to express his gratitude, and that way the Thousand Machine Crossbow would definitely not escape.

Seeing his mercenary demeanor, Xiao Jingyi laughed in anger and immediately retorted with a smile, "If you cause any problems with this transport, I will make sure you're the one in trouble."

"Your Majesty, rest assured, it certainly won't happen!"

Mao Xiang immediately gave his guarantee.

"Get out! Get out! Get out!"

Upon hearing Xiao Jingyi's words, Mao Xiang immediately ran out.

"This guy."

Watching his departing figure, Xiao Jingyi smiled and shook his head, then walked to the three Thousand Machine Crossbows and put them back into his spatial backpack.

They then went to a secluded corner and placed them there, leaving the purchased bow and arrows aside.

After doing all this, he ordered the Imperial Guards to come and guard the area, and then went to find Xu Weixiong.

Recently, since Xu Weixiong is pregnant, Xiao Jingyi has been visiting her and taking the opportunity to visit the other women as well.

There's no way around it; everyone is desperate for a child.

As the emperor and husband, Xiao Jingyi found it difficult to refuse their invitation.

The next day, Mao Xiang secretly led a group of elite troops to send the Thousand Machine Crossbow to the front line.

In the days that followed, the upheaval caused by the elimination of the Wang family continued.

Until Cai Quan brought all the judgment documents to Xiao Jingyi to report.

"Your Majesty, these are the convictions against these officials over the past few days. Please take a look."

Cai Quan and the officials behind him were all holding a large number of charges against them.

"Yes, just decide on the verdict. I trust you to handle things."

Xiao Jingyi didn't even look up before speaking.

It wasn't that he didn't care, but as he said, he believed Cai Quan could handle it well.

Unless it involves powerful and influential figures, or even royalty.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he wouldn't interfere; at most, he'd just inquire about the outcome.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cai Quan accepted the order, and just as he was about to leave, Xiao Jingyi remembered that after ascending the throne, he had asked him to rewrite the laws, so he wanted to ask him how things were going recently.

"Cai Quan, how is the recent revision of the law progressing?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Quan's expression changed slightly, and her heart skipped a beat.

But he quickly turned the tables, kneeling down and saying, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have failed Your Majesty's trust. These past few days, I have been reviewing the laws of past dynasties, hoping to find any omissions and fill in the gaps, but with little success."

"Oh? With your talent, you shouldn't have only achieved so little."

Upon hearing his reply, Xiao Jingyi looked up and put down the memorial in his hand.

"Tell me, what difficulties have you encountered?"

Upon hearing this, Cai Quan paused for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, the rewriting of the laws faces enormous resistance and involves the interests of various parties. I have no clue what to do."

"We beg Your Majesty to punish us!"

At this point, Cai Quan realized that she had disappointed Xiao Jingyi and quickly apologized.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyi was not surprised. He then rubbed his temples while recalling the laws of the Great Liang Dynasty that he had read.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and said, “Cai Quan, I do not blame you. If you have no clue, then take your time. Even the laws of the Great Qin were not compiled overnight.”

"Therefore, the laws of the Great Liang Dynasty are also the same."

"However, I can remind you that I have asked you to rewrite this law. As long as you achieve the following objectives, the first is sentencing. For example, Article 39 of the Great Liang Law states that thieves who are caught will be punished with caning for minor offenses and have their hands cut off for serious offenses."

Speaking of this, Xiao Jingyi gave an example. When he first saw this law, he felt it was too general. He only understood it after he looked into it.

The country of Daliang is not small.

As a result, apart from some major crimes such as taxation and murder being described in great detail, crimes such as theft were described in a very general way.

He was aware of this as well.

The reason is simple: the Great Liang Dynasty used to be very poor, and the national treasury was not enough. It also had to pay tribute to various countries, so some people suggested that criminals could pay ransoms.

For crimes like theft, if the fine is paid in full, punishment can be waived.

There is too much room for human intervention, so it is written in a very general way to facilitate operation.

This money was initially intended to replenish the imperial treasury, but who knows what it was actually used for later?
