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

"So slow."

Xiao Jingyi rubbed his temples, but he quickly composed himself. After all, once he ascended the throne, he would accumulate points quickly.

"It seems that we need to finish dealing with the four ministries first, and then depose the Crown Prince and Prince Yu. We need to speed things up."

Thinking about his plan, Xiao Jingyi composed himself and focused his attention on the general cards and random troop cards.

"I wonder what kind of military general will come this time."

Xiao Jingyi rubbed his chin and then said to the system, "System, use the general card."

"Ding! The general card has been successfully used. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Grandmaster general: Guan Yu."

!!!

Lord Guan!?

Upon hearing the name of the general he had drawn, Xiao Jingyi was immediately stunned.

Well, my current generals are: Dian Wei, Zhao Yun, Gao Shun, and Han Sheng.

Which one of them isn't from the Three Kingdoms period? Now we've added Guan Yu to the mix.

He wouldn't be surprised if Cao Cao came one day.

"However, Guan Yu's arrival came at just the right time. Gao Shun still has a quota of 5000 men under Prince Jing, which is perfect for Guan Yu to take over."

"Gao Shun can now focus wholeheartedly on managing the patrol battalion."

In an instant, Xiao Jingyi had already decided where Guan Yu should go.

He then turned his attention to the random unit card, which was the first time he had seen it, so he glanced at the description.

随机兵种卡：使用之后可获得一品到九品之间的士兵，数量为1千、1万、5万、10万、20万、50万、100万随机获得。

"hiss!"

That's great!

Upon seeing this introduction, Xiao Jingyi immediately gasped.

If he's incredibly lucky, he might acquire a first-rank soldier worth 100 million.

He said no more and chose to declare himself emperor on the spot.

After all, they already have a million-strong army, and they're all top-ranking officials, so who would bother with taking their time?

They would directly dominate Daliang, and then find a way to annex other countries.

Don't ask, the answer is simply arrogance.

"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, may the Supreme Lord Laozi appear quickly! One million for a first-grade item, one million for a first-grade item."

Xiao Jingyi quickly came to his senses and began muttering something that seemed to be a very ancient and useless ritual.

After he finished reading, he suddenly opened his eyes: "Use! Random Unit Card!"

"Ding! Random troop card successfully used, obtained 10 sixth-grade soldiers. Please allocate them as needed."

hold head high?

Xiao Jingyi was taken aback at first, then his face lit up with ecstasy.

Although the number is not 100 million, and the soldiers' cultivation level is not first rank, having 10 sixth rank soldiers is still quite good.

You should know that just those 10 sixth-rank soldiers would be enough for him to accumulate points for quite some time.

At the very least, it would take several years, though it would be shorter if one became emperor.

However, that requires points; this is a freebie!

Cool!

So cool!

Xiao Jingyi rarely lost his composure like this. He raised his fists, his face full of excitement. He knew what having these 10 elite troops meant.

"I was just thinking about how to distribute my people, but now it seems there's no need to worry about it anymore."

"Directly distribute these 10 men to Zhao Yun and his men. As for the extra men, they can be used as their reserve force."

With this army of 10, Xiao Jingyi was now filled with boundless pride.

At the same time, he knew that with these 10 people, the distance between him and the throne had been greatly reduced.

After he had completely suppressed his excitement, Xiao Jingyi immediately wrote three letters and then called out to Mao Xiang outside the house.

"Mao Xiang!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

Mao Xiang strode in. These past few days, he and Dian Wei had been standing outside the study door, waiting for Xiao Jingyi's summons at any time.

Upon hearing his words, Mao Xiang dared not hesitate and immediately walked in.

"Give these three letters to Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, and Gao Shun respectively."

"Yes!"

Mao Xiang glanced at them and noticed that each of the three letters was signed. He didn't think much of it and quickly put the three letters away. Just as he was about to leave,

But then Xiao Jingyi asked again, "Mao Xiang, how many men are still available in the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Upon hearing this, Mao Xiang was taken aback. After making a quick estimate in his mind, he bowed and said, "My lord, I have deployed more than 2000 people in the capital and more than 2000 people in the cities near the capital, for a total of 5000."

"Currently, the number of people that the Embroidered Uniform Guard can mobilize is mostly around 5000."

"5000....."

Xiao Jingyi pondered for a moment, then got up and walked to the bookshelf behind him, picking up a pile of incriminating evidence from a box.

"Last time I asked you to take control of the civil and military officials in the court. This time, I hope you will use these to take control of the local officials outside the court."

Xiao Jingyi gained control of the imperial court by leveraging the influence of the Qin Banruo clan.

The evidence he is now presenting was collected over the years by Dark Night, the organization he personally founded.

Although he had no ambition to become emperor before the system was in place, it didn't mean he wouldn't have a backup plan for himself.

These pieces of evidence were one of his backup plans.

Now that the situation in the imperial court is clear, the next step is for these local officials.

Xiao Jingyi didn't want anyone to disobey him after he ascended the throne, so he wanted to keep them under his control now.

046 Taking action against local officials has caused trouble for Yaoyue? (Seeking flowers, ratings, and monthly votes)

Upon hearing Xiao Jingyi's plan, the clever Mao Xiang already knew what he was going to do.

My lord must take action against local officials!

If we say that court officials are those powerful and influential officials with a high degree of influence, then...

Taking them down could influence the course of events in the court and the issuance of every policy.

Local officials are the implementers of these policies.

Although they don't have as much influence as the officials in the imperial court, the advantage is that controlling them is equivalent to controlling that region.

If we could have all of them in our hands, they would be connected into one.

It's the entire main beam!

It can be said that even if Xiao Jingyi did not have the support of officials in the imperial court, with these local officials around, he only needed to raise his arms and shout, and everyone would respond.

Kyoto? .

Court officials?

It's just a lonely city!

Mao Xiang was terrified, but he was determined to help Xiao Jingyi do this well.

He composed himself, bowed respectfully, and asked, "My lord, what should we do if any of these people refuse to agree?"

"Keep those nearby under surveillance, kill those far away."

Xiao Jingyi spoke without the slightest hesitation.

He was determined to have all the local officials under his control, and he wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone who dared to defy him.

However, in order to avoid being discovered, he adopted a strategy of targeting nearby targets from afar.

As the saying goes, "the mountains are high and the emperor is far away," even if news of these people being killed reached back, it would take a very long time.

At that time, it was uncertain who would sit on the throne.

"Yes, I understand."

Mao Xiang felt a chill run down his spine; he had a feeling that he would be killing a lot of people this time.

"Hmm, I'll give you three months. Three months. I hope to see these people's pledge of allegiance."

Xiao Jingyi said calmly.

Mao Xiang nodded respectfully: "Yes, Your subordinate understands!"

After giving a few more instructions, Mao Xiang left.

He looked up at the sky, full of energy: "This time, we must not let our lord down."

After saying that, Mao Xiang quickly left.

In three months, they had to travel and suppress various officials.

Time was of the essence, so he dared not delay and planned to set off immediately.

"Your Highness... Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

Not long after Mao Xiang left, Hou Ji rushed into the study, his words filled with panic.

She stopped right in front of Xiao Jingyi: "Your Highness, just now... just now someone sent word that... Lady Yue'er received a letter from an old friend and went out."

"Oh, fine, I'll go then."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi waved his hand dismissively.

After all, every now and then, a group of people would come to see Yaoyue. Xiao Jingyi had asked her who she was, and Yaoyue said that she was her younger sister from her hometown, Chen Xing'er.

Since Yaoyue married far away, Chen Xing'er is currently managing the family business.

They would only come once every few months, supposedly to report on their work.

Xiao Jingyi had also met Chen Xing'er; she was a great beauty.

But Yue kept a close eye on him, not giving him any chance to chat with Chen Xing'er, so so far Xiao Jingyi only knew about his sister-in-law.

She is beautiful, has a lovely voice, and is very capable.

It's gone.

"No, no, no... No, the people who came this time were not Lady Yue'er's family members. They looked fierce and there were quite a few men among them. Lady Yue'er's expression was also very solemn when she went out. It must be something serious."

"I...I dare to guess, it should be...it should be an enemy."

Upon hearing Hou Ji's words, Xiao Jingyi frowned slightly.

"Enemies?"

He recalled the first time he met Yaoyue; she was injured.

Could it be one of her old enemies?

He didn't expect the other party to be so vengeful, still unwilling to give up after so many years.

But he knew it was just his guess.

However, since it concerned Yaoyue, he had to go regardless of whether the two had a grudge.

After all, anything that Yaoyue cares about must be very important to her. Xiao Jingyi wouldn't care about the past of his women.

But once someone follows him, he'll kill anyone who dares to cause trouble.

He immediately stood up and said with a serious expression, "Dian Wei."

"Your subordinate is here." Dian Wei immediately appeared at the door.

"Notify the guards to accompany me out."
