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

Thinking back to how Xu Weixiong had been counting money so arrogantly these past few days, Yanfei clenched her fists tightly.

Bear, you cheated!

Just wait, I'll report you tomorrow. You're disrupting the balance!

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiao Jingyi looked down at her with some confusion: "Feiyan, what's wrong with you? You haven't said anything. Is there something you can't say?"

"Are you still worried that I can't afford to pay for it?"

"It's alright, speak freely. My wealth is beyond your imagination, I will definitely compensate you double."

Xiao Jingyi thought she was worried about his lack of money, so he immediately acted like he was a tycoon.

Upon hearing his words, Yan Fei immediately came to her senses. Her big eyes darted around, and she made a "one" sign with her delicate white hand.

“Your Highness, I didn’t lose much, just like Xiongxiong, 10 taels of gold.”

!!!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi almost lost his composure.

No, just how big of a fight did my women have?!

He lost 100,000 taels of gold in one go!

For the first time, Xiao Jingyi felt that an old saying was very true.

Once a woman starts spending money recklessly, men have no say in the matter.

One is Xu Xiongxiong, and the other is Feiyan.

He really didn't know what to say, but when he looked down at Yan Fei's expectant gaze and her luscious, tender red lips, he realized she was looking down on him.

Fine, I'll give it to you then.

Xiao Jingyi sighed inwardly, then said to him, "Alright, I will send someone to deliver it to you tomorrow."

"But Feiyan, I've already given so much, how do you plan to repay me?"

Xiao Jingyi looked at Yan Fei with anticipation, oh no, he looked at her mouth.

Xiao Jingyi had been looking forward to it for a long time ever since he last used her mouth.

Noticing his predatory eyes, Yan Fei lowered her head shyly and murmured, "Whatever you say..."

.....

Just as Xiao Jingyi was enjoying himself, the quiet capital city was bustling with activity.

At this moment, only squads of guards were patrolling the road, completely unaware that on the rooftops on both sides, rows of people dressed in flying fish robes were walking in the dark.

They were like elves in the darkness, wandering silently over Kyoto.

Under the moonlight, amidst the water chestnuts, they slowly approached their prey.

018 Not in the imperial court, yet more powerful than in the imperial court (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly tickets)

Kyoto, the residence of Li, Minister of War.

In the dimly lit courtyard, a figure silently descended.

Behind him followed a dozen or so people.

Mao Xiang looked around and, finding no one there, immediately made two hand gestures. The dozen or so people behind him then split into three groups.

One team guarded the entrance and exit of the courtyard, another team stood guard at the gate, and a third team followed behind Mao Xiang.

"clang!"

The door was pushed open by a member of the Imperial Guard, and a group of people filed in.

Mao Xiang was the first to be attacked, and he went to the desk with the Embroidered Spring Knife pressed against his neck.

"who!"

"Who...who are you?!"

Minister of War Li Lin then realized what was happening. He looked up at Mao Xiang, but because Mao Xiang was wearing a mask, he couldn't see his face at all. He could only see his cold eyes.

"Instead of asking who I am, Lord Li, please take a look at this."

Mao Xiang did not answer Li Lin, but instead took out a charge of crime and placed it in front of Li Lin.

Under duress, Li Lin had no choice but to obediently pick up the evidence and examine it.

He was terrified when he saw it.

"This...I...."

Li Lin was somewhat apprehensive, and even stuttered a little when he spoke.

"Minister, what do you think your fate would be if this evidence were handed over to the current emperor?"

"You don't want to end up with your family destroyed, do you?"

Mao Xiang said coldly.

Upon hearing his words, Li Lin felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew that if this evidence were exposed, even he, as the crown prince, would not be able to protect himself.

The worst outcome is demotion, while the worst is exile.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing this, Li Lin gave in. He knew that struggling was futile, and especially when he noticed that they were all wearing uniforms, he guessed that they must be someone's faction.

He just didn't know whose people they were working for.

Prince Yu?

Or is it His Majesty the present?

No, Your Majesty has the Suspended Mirror Bureau, could it be Prince Yu?

"It's nothing. My master just thinks you are a talented person, and what you're doing is just going along with the court's lead."

"That's why I was sent here to speak with you, Minister."

Mao Xiang said calmly.

But Li Lin took a different meaning to his words.

He sighed and said, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

"Nothing more than my master's desire for you to submit and serve him," Mao Xiang said bluntly.

Li Lin thought to himself, "Just as I suspected." Considering that these people were definitely not the Crown Prince's men, he combined this with his previous guesses.

"You are... Yu Wang's men!?" Li Lin exclaimed in surprise.

He never expected that Prince Yu would have such methods, not only controlling three ministries, but now also targeting him.

"Don't make wild guesses. How could my master be someone like Prince Yu?"

Not Prince Yu?

Li Lin was stunned.

He found it hard to imagine that among the many princes of the Great Liang Dynasty, apart from Prince Yu and the Crown Prince, who else possessed such means and such great strength to win over someone like Mao Xiang.

There are even such methods to find evidence of one's own crimes.

"Lord Li, time is running out, please give me an answer."

"Should I say yes or no?"

Feeling the blade of the Embroidered Spring Blade approaching his neck, the icy chill made Li Lin shudder.

"I understand, I will do as instructed."

"In that case, Lord Li, please offer a pledge of loyalty."

Immediately afterwards, Mao Xiang produced a letter of surrender and had Li Lin write down in detail what he had done for the Crown Prince over the years. After signing and affixing his seal, he left.

A group of people came quickly and left quickly.

Li Lin stood at the door as if in a dream, looking at the courtyard that had become quiet again, and couldn't help but murmur softly, "Kyoto... is about to change."

At the same time, he knew he had no way out; the letter of surrender and the schemes he had written were his death warrant.

Unless you completely disregard the consequences, if you don't obey, those things might end up in someone else's hands the next day.

For the first time, he felt as if an invisible hand was enveloping the entire capital.

Tonight is destined to be anything but peaceful, not only for Li Lin, the Minister of War, but also for the Minister of Works.

Besides these two big fish, many other officials were also visited by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

However, they had no idea who sent them.

The next day, they wisely kept quiet about what had happened that day and continued with their work.

But I felt uneasy inside.

Inside the study of Prince Yi's residence.

"Hehe, Mao Xiang, not bad, your Embroidered Uniform Guard is indeed fast."

Xiao Jingyi looked at the news Mao Xiang brought back, and happily glanced at the pledges of loyalty, nodding in satisfaction.

This is not just a pledge of allegiance, but also a representation that he now controls one-third of the court.

You should know that before this, he didn't have a single person in the court.

In just one night, he gained a considerable number of courtiers.

Even though these talents have just surrendered, they are destined to be caught in Xiao Jingyi's clutches.

"I thought it would take you a few days to get it done, but it only took one night."

"Excellent, very good."

No one dislikes someone who is efficient, especially someone like Mao Xiang.

He is capable, competent, and most importantly, loyal.

"My lord, these are all my duties."

Mao Xiang did not become arrogant despite his achievements, and replied respectfully as before.

"Yes, you all worked hard last night. I will record this in my book of merits. You may go and get some rest."

"Yes!"

Mao Xiang respectfully withdrew.

Xiao Jingyi picked up the items and began to look through them, sighing as he did so: "These guys seem to have been scared out of their wits by Mao Xiang. They even brought up the time when they were kids, peeping at the widow next door taking a bath."

"We really are afraid to act rashly for fear of harming the innocent."

Xiao Jingyi smiled faintly, looked through the items for a while, and then put them in another cabinet on the bookshelf.

Although he can't move these people, it still comes down to the same thing.

If they commit the same offense again, they will not be spared, and these things will be the swords hanging over their heads.

If you're not careful, you'll fall.

After finishing all this, Xiao Jingyi stretched and said, "It's been a while since I've gone out, hasn't it?"

"Perfect timing, let's go out of town for a stroll today."

"I heard Kyoto has been quite lively lately."

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi immediately walked out of the room and said to Dian Wei, who was guarding the door, "Dian Wei, come with me for a walk."

"Ah, yes, Your Highness."

Dian Wei was somewhat surprised to hear this. He had been following Xiao Jingyi these past few days and knew that this prince almost never went out.

It's really unusual that I'm going out today.

However, thinking of his safety, he said, "Your Highness, should we notify the others?"

"What, you can't protect my safety?"

How could Dian Wei bear such words? He immediately patted his chest heavily and said, "Your Highness, I can do it!"
