Looking around, there were countless items, including character cards, cultivation cards, and various precious medicinal herbs.

Even in the level one access store, there are many things that are very useful to Xiao Jingyi right now.

However, the most expensive option is the Grandmaster category, while the lowest is 1 point, which can be redeemed for small items such as spicy strips and liquor.

A dazzling array of goods, nothing is too strange to be found.

"The items are quite complete, the only downside is that there are no points, damn it."

Looking at his current points, Xiao Jingyi felt somewhat helpless.

I had to suppress my urge to shop.

Just as he was about to close the interface, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a section called "Points Lottery".

He clicked on it out of curiosity.

The next moment, a disc appeared in front of him.

"First draw is free!"

But when he noticed the four characters in the center of the disc, his breathing became slightly rapid, and his eyes shone brightly.

"Sure, the first draw is free."

Just when I was worried that I didn't have enough points to enjoy the system's features, a free first draw appeared.

Without saying a word, he started smoking!

Click the button in the middle of the screen.

Would you like to participate in the prize draw?

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, the pointer on the disc began to spin rapidly, and a system notification appeared in his mind.

"Mystery cannot change fate, and spending money cannot change destiny."

"Mystery cannot change fate, and spending money cannot change destiny."

"Mystery cannot change fate, and spending money cannot change destiny."

"..."

Okay, so this is advising people to be rational when participating in lotteries?

"Your system still uses this kind of trick?"

Xiao Jingyi chuckled, then immediately retorted, "What's the difference between this and writing 'Smoking is harmful to your health' on cigarette packs or 'Drinking is harmful to your health' on liquor bottles? It's just pure self-deception, isn't it?"

Just as he was complaining, the pointer on the disc slowly slowed down.

After a few breaths, the pointer moved at a snail's pace.

Finally, it stopped on a pattern of a large round hat.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for drawing the Imperial Guard. You have obtained 1 Imperial Guards, Commander Mao Xiang, a Grandmaster, and the commanders of the Imperial Guards throughout history."

!!!

Depend on!

It was them!

Those familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty know what kind of organization the Embroidered Uniform Guard was.

This is exactly the kind of knife that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty used!

Xiao Jingyi was very surprised. He never expected that he would be so lucky in his first lottery draw and actually win the title of Imperial Guard.

Still 1 people!

With 10,000 people, even if he only starts planning his succession now, it's practically a perfect start.

"Not bad, not bad, the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Xiao Jingyi smiled.

Over the years, he hasn't been idle. In the past 12 years, he first deployed the generals he had initially selected to the army, allowing them to develop their skills as spies within the military.

He secretly spent a fortune building his intelligence network throughout Daliang, which he named Dark Night.

Now it has spread throughout the entire Great Liang Dynasty. If he wanted, he could know immediately what color underwear the Great Liang Emperor was wearing today.

Oh, he doesn't wear a bra, he wears underwear.

Although there is no shortage of skilled people in the dark, the only thing he currently lacks is a knife.

A knife that killed for him!

The emergence of the Embroidered Uniform Guard perfectly compensated for this.

"System, when will the Embroidered Uniform Guard report?"

The thought that if all 10,000 Imperial Guards came to his residence, it would definitely cause a sensation the next day, which would be bad. Therefore, he needed to know the situation of the Imperial Guards before making any arrangements.

It's worth noting that although he's been seen as a dashing prince by outsiders all these years, he still has quite a few spies around him.

If the presence of the Embroidered Uniform Guard were discovered, it would definitely attract a lot of attention.

"Ding! Mao Xiang, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and a group of deputy commanders are on their way to the Prince's residence to report."

"Only them?"

"Ding! Yes."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"If only they come to report, they won't be noticed."

"Ding! Information about Mao Xiang and others is being sent. Please check your inbox."

Just as Xiao Jingyi was pondering, a lot of information suddenly appeared in his mind.

After he learned about it, he realized that it was the system's arrangement for Mao Xiang's identity.

It's very simple. Like the general he drew before, he was saved by his mother many years ago. Later, in order to repay his mother, he joined Xiao Jingyi.

Under his arrangement, a group of skilled men were recruited and the Embroidered Uniform Guard was established.

"Hmm... this cliché identity setup again. System, can you come up with something more original next time?"

"Ding! I'll definitely do it next time."

Well, we can discuss this?

Xiao Jingyi raised an eyebrow, secretly marveling at how interesting the system was, but he didn't delve any deeper into it.

He then looked at the disc and, upon discovering that another draw would require 1 points, closed the panel.

Because he sensed someone outside his door.

"Knock knock knock!"

Hearing a knock on the door, Xiao Jingyi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Come in."

"Squeak!"

The next moment, a group of people dressed in flying fish robes, with embroidered spring knives at their waists, and exuding an aura that kept strangers at bay, appeared before us.

Then everyone stepped forward, stopped five steps away from Xiao Jingyi, and knelt down on one knee in unison to pay their respects.

"Mao Xiang greets his lord!"

"Jiang Huan greets his lord!"

"Song Zong greets His Majesty!"

"..."

Everyone knelt down in worship, their attitude extremely respectful.

In their eyes, Xiao Jingyi is their only god.

Their lives all belong to Xiao Jingyi.

"Hehe, I was just worried about developing my great cause and having no one by my side, and then you all came back. Good, very good."

"Get up, everyone."

Xiao Jingyi walked up to Mao Xiang and helped him up, then helped everyone else up as well: "You are my left arm, sit down, all of you, sit down."

His courteous and respectful attitude deeply moved Mao Xiang and his comrades.

Even if they are Xiao Jingyi's loyal followers, with a loyalty level of 100%, it doesn't matter.

But how could I not be moved by how he treated me?

After arranging for everyone to sit down, Xiao Jingyi returned to the main seat.

After he sat down, Mao Xiang spoke, his tone filled with doubt and a hint of murderous intent: "My lord, you just said that you want to develop your great cause and that you have no one by your side."

"If I may be so bold as to ask, is someone obstructing you? If so, I will kill them right now!"

"Your subordinate is willing to go!"

Upon seeing this, the others clasped their hands in obeisance and accepted the order.

Their faces were solemn, and they exuded a chilling aura.

It's safe to say that they would kill anyone Xiao Jingyi asked them to, without batting an eye, even if that person were themselves.

003 The Embroidered Uniform Guards are actually a bunch of brutes?!

Seeing everyone's reactions, Xiao Jingyi was very satisfied.

But he still laughed and cursed, "Kill, kill, kill! Is there nothing else in your heads besides killing?"

Mao Xiang immediately clasped his hands and said, "My lord, we are not good at political maneuvering, nor do we know how to deal with people, but we still know that if anyone obstructs you, we will fight to the death to remove the obstacle for you."

"We were just momentarily agitated because our lord has no emotional weapons. We hope our lord will not take offense."

Look at this, that's what true loyalty and unwavering devotion are.

That sounds nice.

Xiao Jingyi smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, you'll have your turn to kill them in the future. When I rule the world, you will be the ones to cleanse the court of corrupt officials for me."

These words were Xiao Jingyi's way of hinting at his ambition.

That is, the struggle for the throne!

Upon hearing his words, Mao Xiang and the others' pupils contracted, replaced by wild joy.

What does it mean to rule the world?

That means our lord has finally become interested in becoming emperor!

Heaven has eyes! Our lord has finally shown his ambition!

Mao Xiang had always believed that Xiao Jingyi was the best candidate to lead the Liang Dynasty.

However, over the years, no matter how Mao Xiang hinted or said in his letters, he seemed unmoved, which frustrated Mao Xiang for a long time.

That was part of the reason he came back this time.

But before he could speak, Xiao Jingyi blurted out how to keep Mao Xiang and the others from getting excited and happy.

But they were also clever; they kept their excitement to themselves and didn't say anything.

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with excitement.

Xiao Jingyi let them calm down, and only after they were almost done did he speak: "Mao Xiang, where have you arranged the Jinyiwei men now?"

"Reporting to my lord, the Embroidered Uniform Guard currently numbers 1. To avoid attracting the attention of the Langya Pavilion and the Xuanjing Division, I had them return to the capital in batches, and they are all in place now."

"At our lord's command, we can immediately take up our Embroidered Spring Blades and charge to..."

"Stop! Stop!"

It was clear that Mao Xiang was about to rebel at the slightest disagreement.

Another order?

What, are you really that reckless?

Xiao Jingyi then glanced at the others and noticed that they were all interested.
