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

"Yes!"

Upon hearing her words, the other disciples responded.

Seeing this, she slowly drew her longsword and said coldly, "Kill!"

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The dozen or so people quickly dispersed and rushed toward their respective targets.

The silent Li residence soon came alive with the movement of the horse-headed insects, but quickly fell silent again, though a faint smell of blood lingered in the air.

On the other side, on the deserted street, only one horse-drawn carriage slowly drove by.

The person sitting inside was none other than Shen Lindao, the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.

He had just come out of the East Palace, looking quite smug.

"I never expected that helping the Crown Prince impeach Prince Yi would result in me being personally received by the Crown Prince. Haha."

Thinking about having dinner with the Crown Prince earlier made Shen Lindao very happy.

Suddenly his carriage stopped, and he lost his balance and almost fell over.

This enraged him: "Ping Sheng, what kind of carriage are you driving!"

In the past, after he finished speaking, Ping Sheng outside would have answered him, but this time, it was eerily quiet.

Shen Lindao frowned, immediately lifted the curtain, and said to Pingsheng sitting to the side, "Pingsheng, didn't you hear what I said?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Shen Lindao realized something was amiss.

Because he saw that Ping Sheng's neck was bleeding, and the blood was flowing down his clothes, and there was a large pool of blood on the ground.

"My whole life!"

Shen Lindao's expression changed drastically. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a figure standing in front of the carriage.

"Who...who are you? Do you even know who I am?!"

"The Yin-Yang School purged traitors for the Qin Emperor. Do you think I knew that?"

The speaker brandished his longsword, and with a single strike, pierced the man's neck.

In addition, several other officials have also been involved in incidents tonight.

Some of them fell into the water by accident, and some died on a woman's belly.

Not only those who impeached Xiao Jingyi, but also some of those who did not impeach him were harmed.

The next day.

News of the murders of numerous officials spread like wildfire, causing widespread panic among the court officials, who all went out with a large number of guards.

This matter was also reported to the palace by Xia Dong.

"boom!"

"Rebellion! Rebellion! These Jianghu forces dare to lay a hand on officials of my Great Liang! Do they have a death wish?!"

Emperor Liang stood in his study, holding the report from the Suspended Mirror Bureau, and flew into a rage.

Because he never expected that Jianghu forces like the Yihua Palace and the Yin-Yang School would kill more than a dozen ministers in one night.

You have to understand that this is a provocation to him!

To challenge the authority of his imperial power.

"Xia Dong, I don't care what methods you use—whether you investigate, arrest, or dig three feet into the ground in the capital—you must catch them!"

"Those who dare to cause trouble in the capital of Liang will not be let off lightly by me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I obey!"

Seeing the territory so angry, Xia Dong dared not say anything more, immediately accepted the order, and then withdrew.

She took the knife from the guard, looked up at the clear sky, and frowned slightly: "What are they doing in my territory?"

Despite his confusion, Xia Dong rushed back to the Suspended Mirror Bureau and ordered his men to begin an investigation.

Inside the study, Emperor Liang sat in a chair, deep in thought.

"Who...who could it be?"

With such a powerful force suddenly emerging in Kyoto, Emperor Liang could not possibly ignore it.

Then he picked up the list of the murdered officials, and suddenly, as if he had figured something out, he picked out a few names: "If I remember correctly, these people just impeached Jing Yi yesterday."

But today they…

"Could it be...?"

Emperor Liang was startled. If his guess was correct, then it was truly terrifying.

However, this matter was of great importance, and he could not simply conclude that Xiao Jingyi was responsible without reason. Instead, he quickly summoned the people he had previously placed in Prince Yi's residence to inquire about the situation there.

But when he heard the report that nothing had happened at the Prince Yi's residence in recent days, he became puzzled: "If there's no movement at the Prince Yi's residence, could it be Jing Yi?"

"Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Just then, Gao Zhan walked to Emperor Liang's side with a teacup in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang glanced at him, took the teacup, and after he drank the tea, sighed: "Gao Zhan, do you think this matter could have been done by Prince Yi?"

"No."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang was taken aback and glanced at Gao Zhan: "Today is truly unusual. If I had asked you in the past, you would never have spoken with such certainty."

"Tell me, why do you think it wasn't Prince Yi who did it?"

“Your Majesty, you are aware of Prince Yi’s situation, so I won’t go into details. Just take Li Mo, who was killed by Yihua Palace, for example. He did indeed wrong a woman a few years ago, and you even punished him for it.”

"And there's Shen Lindao, who was killed by the Yin-Yang School. He used to be on the side of the Great Qin, and now the Yin-Yang School is working for the Great Qin."

Gao Zhan gave these two examples, and he explained them very logically.

Upon hearing his words, Emperor Liang instantly felt that everything became clear.

The doubt on his face disappeared, and he patted his forehead with a smile: "Look at me, how could I forget all of this? The Yihua Palace killed all the unfaithful men in the world, and the Yin Yang School dealt with the traitors for the Great Qin."

"As for me, I'm getting senile, and I actually connected this matter with Jing Yi."

"With Jing Yi's current abilities, how could he possibly get these two major forces to make a move? You're overthinking it."

At this moment, Emperor Liang had no more doubts about Jing Yi, and even felt guilty for having doubted Jing Yi just now.

"What you said today must not be spread, especially not to the Prince Yi's residence."

"Your Majesty, even if Prince Yi knew, he wouldn't say anything to you."

"It's better not to know. Prince Yi did nothing, yet he has been subjected to my unfounded suspicions. He will definitely feel bad if he finds out."

Emperor Liang sighed and said, "Never mind. I was planning to scold him in a few days, but I won't. If he wants to be a carefree prince, let him be."

...

"Good heavens, who is trying to harm me?"

Inside the Prince Yi's residence, Xiao Jingyi listened to Mao Xiang's report, his brows furrowing slightly.

He had just told Mao Xiang yesterday to get rid of the people, and last night all those who impeached him were killed.

Some even went so far as to harm their own families.

In other words, the Embroidered Uniform Guard discovered it early and reported it to Xiao Jingyi, who immediately sensed that something was very wrong.

After all, these people were the ones who impeached him, but now they've been eliminated. Even if he didn't lift a finger, he can't clear his name of suspicion.

So he went all out and gave Mao Xiang several lists to kill more officials.

This is to create confusion and avoid putting oneself in the spotlight.

"My lord, according to the information gathered by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, those people are indeed from the Yihua Palace, the Yin-Yang School, the Yin Kui Sect, the Xuanji Gate, and the Lieying Divine Sect. We are currently tracking their whereabouts."

Mao Xiang immediately replied.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi's expression turned solemn: "That's strange. Why did they suddenly kill these people? Is there some hidden reason?"

Xiao Jingyi would never have guessed that the people who ordered the attack were none other than the group of women in his backyard.

Unbeknownst to the women, their actions nearly thrust Xiao Jingyi into the eye of the storm.

"Investigate thoroughly, we must find out the truth."

"What talk of killing all the unfaithful people in the world, what talk of purging traitors? Why didn't you do it earlier? Why now of all times?"

"It's all too coincidental."

Although Xiao Jingyi couldn't figure out who was behind it all, he was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Since you've chosen to show up, don't even think about running away.

"Yes, I will do my utmost to find out the truth."

Mao Xiang said respectfully.

This is the first time we've clashed with major powers, and it's a truly significant event.

Mao Xiang felt as if the cells in his body were boiling. He was determined not to disappoint Xiao Jingyi this time.

"Okay, you can go now."

"Yes!"

Watching Mao Xiang retreat, Xiao Jingyi narrowed his eyes: "The Yihua Palace, the Yin Yang School... have quite a few experts in the Vajra Realm and the Finger Profound Realm. If we were to fight head-on, we would definitely not have a good outcome."

"It seems I need to speed things up and improve the fortune of the Great Liang as soon as possible to enhance its strength."

...

A court official was murdered, and the Suspended Mirror Bureau investigated the case.

In the past few days, the entire capital of Kyoto has been on edge, everyone is on edge, and everyone knows that the one sitting in the palace is really angry.

As a result, everyone has become much more restrained.

Of course, many people were also confused, not knowing why the Yihua Palace and others were going to act at the same time, and what their purpose was.

Even Mei Changsu couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time, so he could only ask his Jiangzuo Alliance to intensify their investigation.

Now that he's back in Kyoto, he doesn't want these outside forces to affect his future plans.

"Brother Su."

"Jingrui, Yujin? What brings you here?"

At the Xie Marquis's residence, Mei Changsu saw Xiao Jingrui and Yan Yujin arrive and immediately put down the detailed record in his hand, rising to greet them.

"Brother Su, have you forgotten that today is the day Princess Nihuang holds a martial arts contest to choose a husband? We came to find you to invite you to come along."

Yan Yujin stepped forward and said, "Besides, didn't we say we were going to meet Prince Yi? His Highness Prince Yi will be there today too."

"how?"

"I see. I didn't realize that today is the day Princess Nihuang is holding a martial arts contest to find a husband. I should go and watch."

Upon hearing that several old friends would be present, Mei Changsu, eager to see them, immediately agreed.

"Brother Su, you're going? That's wonderful!"

"Yujin and I were still debating what would happen if you didn't agree."

Upon hearing Mei Changsu's agreement, Xiao Jingrui immediately stepped forward with delight.

“Princess Nihuang’s marriage proposal is no small matter. If one could be fortunate enough to witness it and see the talented men of Liang, it would be a great honor.”

"And I remember you two participated too, right?"

"Brother Su, you must cheer us on! Jingrui and I will both participate."

"Then I will definitely cheer you on."

"Brother Su, please."

"please!"
