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

A good man?

She didn't believe it.

What good man has thirteen women?

He's clearly a womanizer!

You fall in love with every girl you see, Yaoyue, I think you're blinded by love.

You're useless.

Of course, Dongfang Bubai would never say these things.

Led by Yaoyue, Dongfang Bubai then toured the Prince's Mansion.

However, none of the women showed up. This was something that Yaoyue and the other women had agreed upon. Whenever any of the sisters had family members or friends visiting the Prince's Mansion, they would try to stay out as little as possible.

They claimed it was to avoid disturbing their sisters' reunions with family and friends.

Actually, everyone was worried about being recognized.

Later, led by Yaoyue, the group found Xiao Jingyi.

Upon hearing that Dongfang Bubai had arrived, Xiao Jingyi immediately put down what he was doing and personally received him.

After dinner, Yaoyue politely declined Dongfang Bubai's request to stay the night and personally escorted her to the carriage.

Before leaving, Yaoyue suddenly called out to Dongfang Bubai.

"East."

"What? You were just telling me to leave, but now you don't want to?"

Dongfang Bubai glanced at Yaoyue, noticing that the latter's expression was more solemn than ever before: "Have you made a decision?"

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, Yaoyue nodded, her eyes turning cold: "Some people do indeed deserve to be killed."

"Haha, I knew you would agree, Sister Yue'er, that's good."

Dongfang Bubai was overjoyed upon hearing this.

But a single sentence from Yuexia froze her smile.

"No, I just wanted to agree to your request sooner so you could get lost."

“…”

Upon hearing this, Yaoyue felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.

You've changed, Yue.

You've changed so drastically!

Chapter 053: The Secret Favor of the Great Liang Dynasty, Xiao Jingyi's Arrangements (Seeking first subscriptions, seeking subscriptions, seeking everything)

Despite the complaints, Dongfang Bubai was still very happy that Yaoyue agreed.

Because she knew that the Yihua Palace and the Sun Moon Cult were working together.

The martial arts world of the Ming Dynasty is in good shape!

On the way back, however, she had a slightly amused expression on her face: "I never thought that Yaoyue would do something like this with a man. I would never have dared to imagine it before."

"but...."

As she spoke, she narrowed her eyes: "If I am not mistaken today, all the guards and servants of Prince Yi's mansion, even the lowest-ranking ones, are at least fourth-grade cultivators."

"Fourth rank... Even in the Ming Dynasty, this was a standard only held by the Imperial Guards in the palace."

"Moreover, this is still the Great Liang Dynasty. Given the Great Liang's fortune, it would be very difficult to cultivate people to reach the fourth rank or even join the army."

"If she truly trained him herself, then the person beside her husband, Yaoyue, is probably no ordinary person either..."

Dongfang Bubai was not without brains; on the contrary, after her visit to Prince Yi's residence today, she was quite shocked.

A minor prince, yet all his guards are fourth-rank officials.

This alone shows that it is extraordinary.

Furthermore, during this time she also detected that there were many experts, Grandmasters, and Masters around Xiao Jingyi.

Although these people are nothing to her.

But be careful, this is the main beam!

The weakness of the martial arts in the Great Liang Dynasty, and the lack of fortune in the martial arts of the Great Liang Dynasty, meant that martial artists in the Great Liang Dynasty could only reach the level of Grandmaster, but Xiao Jingyi had so many experts around him.

Based on this alone, Dongfang Bubai became very curious about Xiao Jingyi.

"Red Slave".

Thinking of this, she called out softly, and a clear, cold voice rang out from outside the carriage.

"Master, Red Slave is here."

"Send someone to investigate Prince Yi..."

"Yes!" the person outside the carriage replied, then vanished in a flash.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Bubai sat in the carriage, a faint smile on his face: "With so many people, either Xiao Jingyi is no ordinary person, or..."

"Is that woman, Yaoyue, supporting him behind the scenes? Could it be that she wants to install a prince of Liang as emperor, and then wield absolute power in Liang?"

The more Dongfang Bubai thought about it, the more likely it seemed, but she quickly frowned: "But Yaoyue, if others find out what you're doing, it will disrupt the balance."

It's understandable that she thought that way. After all, although the Great Liang was weak, it was still a dynasty, and many dynasties and martial arts forces were eyeing this lucrative prize.

However, a natural swamp separated the Great Liang from other dynasties.

This is one of the important reasons why the Great Liang still exists today.

To cross this formidable barrier, one must either take special medicine to ward off the miasma.

Either they possess strength above the Grandmaster level and wield overwhelming power to dominate.

There is no other way.

As for what she said about disrupting the balance.

This was because decades ago, some people from other dynasties and powers came to Daliang, hoping to use powerful experts to control the very few nobles in Daliang.

Unfortunately, the situation escalated, leading to the death of the previous emperor of Liang and plunging the Liang Dynasty into chaos.

The masters of various dynasties and forces fought each other, suffering heavy losses.

After the current emperor came to power, he took this opportunity to sign secret treaties with various dynasties.

As long as the major dynasties do not cross the border, the Great Liang will pay tribute to them.

The various dynasties, originally unable to send large armies to occupy the Great Liang due to its natural defenses, eventually agreed.

Furthermore, it helped the Liang Dynasty to deter various martial arts forces, preventing anyone from overstepping their boundaries.

From then on, the Great Liang Dynasty rarely found peace, and even those at the Grandmaster level or above became extremely rare.

However, only a few people knew about this, and Dongfang Bubai only learned about it after becoming the leader of the cult.

This was also a secret between the Great Liang Dynasty and the various other dynasties.

"However, if you, Yaoyue, truly have such thoughts..."

As he spoke, a glint of excitement flashed in Dongfang Bubai's eyes: "That must be incredibly tough!"

..

While Dongfang Bubai was thinking about these things, Xiao Jingyi was sitting in the study at the Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness, we have thoroughly investigated the whereabouts of Mu Dongfang, the friend of the Fifth Madam."

“They did come from the Ming Dynasty. I have already sent people across the swamp to investigate. I believe we will have results in less than a month.”

Since Mao Xiang was away on business, Jiang Huan is now in charge.

As the second commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in history, he dealt with Lan Yu's rebellion.

The case implicated thirteen marquises and two uncles, resulting in the execution of 15,000 people, including almost all the generals who fought for Zhu Yuanzhang in the past.

They are ruthless killers.

Of course, Xiao Jingyi also had high hopes for his abilities, otherwise he wouldn't have been put in charge of Kyoto and its surrounding affairs after Mao Xiang left.

"Hmm, let's investigate."

"It makes me feel more at ease interacting with them."

Xiao Jingyi nodded.

He doesn't care what his women did in the past, nor do he care about their past identities.

But now that she's with him, he has an obligation to help her clear away obstacles.

So after meeting Dongfang Bubai for the first time, he sent people to investigate Dongfang Bubai's background, also because he was worried that Yaoyue would be used.

"Yes!"

"By the way, how are your contacts with Xie Yu going?"

Thinking of Xie Yu, Xiao Jingyi remembered that he had sent Mao Xiang to make contact with him before, but there was still no feedback, which made him frown slightly.

"Your Highness, Xie Yu has been secretly contacted by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but he doesn't seem to fully trust us yet."

Jiang Huan lowered his head and said.

"It is my fault for failing in my duties. I beg Your Highness to punish me!"

"It's alright, Xie Yu..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi sneered: "His only support is Xia Jiang of the Suspended Mirror Bureau. Once I bring Xia Jiang down, I believe he will submit."

In the storyline, after Xie Yu was captured, he kept fantasizing that Xia Jiang could rescue him.

Because Xie Yu had incriminating evidence against the Chiyan case from years ago, he was certain that Xia Jiang would never eliminate him unless absolutely necessary.

That's why he's still persisting.

Xiao Jingyi understood this as well, so he wasn't in a hurry to deal with Xie Yu.

He then asked, "I sent you to monitor Xia Jiang, how is he now?"

"Your Highness, according to the report from the Embroidered Uniform Guard spies, Xia Jiang is on his way back after learning of Xie Yu's accident."

Jiang Huan replied.

"It's good that he's back; we can get rid of him then."

Xiao Jingyi didn't care about Xia Jiang. Mei Changsu could easily take him down with a little trick. He was now well-equipped and could easily bring down Xia Jiang.

"Your Highness, should I go and get him...?"

Jiang Huan made a throat-slitting gesture, clearly asking whether Xia Jiang should be killed first.

In his opinion, Xia Jiang was going to die sooner or later anyway.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi shook his head: "No need. After he returns, I will let him die with dignity. This is what I promised Mei Changsu."

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Huan immediately put aside his thoughts.

Then, Xiao Jingyi reviewed Lou Zhijing's charges and asked calmly, "How is the interrogation of Lou Zhijing by Qi Min of the Ministry of Justice progressing?"

"According to the spies, Qi Min is very keen on interrogating Lou Zhijing, and seems to want to uproot the princelings in one fell swoop."

"However, Lou Zhijing was also very stubborn, only admitting to his crime of visiting prostitutes, and refusing to talk about anything else."

Upon hearing Jiang Huan's report, Xiao Jingyi frowned.

"This Qi Min is a master at taking sides and engaging in factional struggles, but how come she's so bad at judging people!"

"There are still people lining up to fall off their horses, which is wasting my time. Take this and have someone give it to Qin Banruo so she can present it to Prince Yu."

As he spoke, Xiao Jingyi closed Lou Zhijing's case, which contained all the illegal things he had done over the years.

Xiao Jingyi had originally planned to have Qi Min pry Lou Zhijing open his mouth.

But now that I hear it, well...
