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

So, he used over 2 points to acquire an elite force and 13 mid-to-low-level soldiers.

This was a good deal!

"It's a pity I didn't participate in the lucky draw; I was thinking of doing it before."

Thinking about the lottery, Xiao Jingyi decided to try his luck next time, no matter how high or low the odds were.

What if they come up with something good again?

He then asked the system when his guards would return and where they were, before closing the interface.

He then went to his desk, wrote a letter, and got up to walk outside the study: "Waiting for an auspicious day, waiting for an auspicious day."

"arrive!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a slightly chubby figure jogged up to him.

It was Hou Ji, the steward of Xiao Jingyi's household.

He had been by Xiao Jingyi's side since childhood and was one of the few people Xiao Jingyi could trust.

"Your Highness, please give your orders," Hou Ji said, panting heavily as he bowed respectfully.

"Houji, I've told you many times, you should lose weight. Look how fat you are, you get out of breath after just a few steps of jogging."

Looking at Hou Ji, Xiao Jingyi couldn't help but chuckle.

Upon hearing this, Hou Ji revealed a smile that was more like a grimace: "Your Highness, I also want to lose weight, but I just can't control my mouth."

"After each workout, I eat a lot. You know, I've loved eating since I was a child."

"Then do you want me to help you? Lock you up for half a month?"

Xiao Jingyi looked at Hou Ji with a mocking expression.

Seeing this, Hou Ji became anxious: "Your Highness, I have been by your side since I was a child. If you lock me up for half a month, I will feel uncomfortable if I don't serve you for a day. You are not laughing at my diet, you are taking my life."

"I beg Your Highness to rescind your order."

"Get out of here, stop with all this nonsense. Take this letter and hand it to the people in the palace so they can give it to Father."

Xiao Jingyi chuckled and cursed Hou Ji.

They feel restless if they don't take care of themselves for a day.

What inappropriate and offensive language.

"Yes, I'll go right away."

Since the matter concerned sending a message to the palace, Hou Ji knew it was a serious matter, so he knew he should make the trip himself.

He accepted the letter with both hands before taking his leave.

Watching his departing figure, Xiao Jingyi smiled and shook his head, then dismissed his attendants and walked towards a separate room in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness."

Upon arriving at the outside of a courtyard, the person guarding the entrance greeted them respectfully.

"Yes, keep a close watch on it."

Xiao Jingyi nodded and then walked into the courtyard.

There were no residents in the courtyard, only some guards. Xiao Jingyi immediately strode to a stone wall and pressed down on a brick.

"Click-click-click!"

A mechanical sound rang out, and the wall next to him slowly shook, revealing a hole.

Xiao Jingyi immediately stepped forward and descended the stone steps.

Below this courtyard was a dungeon that Xiao Jingyi had dug.

Over the years, although Xiao Jingyi has been "enjoying himself," he has also arrested many people who wanted to harm him.

He came here today because of the people Mao Xiang had captured a few days ago.

"Lord!"

Upon seeing Xiao Jingyi approach, Mao Xiang and the others who were waiting there rose to greet him. Since that day, this place had become their temporary resting place.

There was no other way; it was convenient for Xiao Jingyi to use him.

"Where is the man?"

"My lord, please follow me."

"Ah."

Then, led by Mao Xiang, the group arrived at the outside of an iron prison.

Inside lay a frail woman.

She wore a light purple dress, her hair was loosely styled in a bun, and she was surrounded by pearls and jade, showing off her exquisite beauty.

Seemingly sensing someone's arrival, the woman slowly opened her eyes and looked outside the cell.

At first, her vision was a little blurry, and she couldn't see who it was.

But when she saw it clearly, her pupils contracted, and she exclaimed in surprise, "It's...it's you!"

"Open."

Without answering the woman's question, Xiao Jingyi ordered Mao Xiang to open the prison door.

Then, led by him, a group of people went inside.

Approaching the woman, Xiao Jingyi looked down at her and said, "Qin Banruo, do you recognize me?"

This woman was Qin Banruo, a strategist serving Prince Yu.

Although she made many foolish decisions for Prince Yu, she also helped him a lot. Now that he has been granted the title of Seven-Bead Prince, Qin Banruo deserves much credit for it.

Moreover, he possessed some things that interested Xiao Jingyi.

So when he gave orders to Mao Xiang and the others to take action that day, he had Mao Xiang capture him.

Hearing Xiao Jingyi's words and feeling the majesty emanating from him.

Qin Banruo was momentarily lost in thought.

After a moment, she came to her senses and said with a wry smile, "Your Highness Prince Yi, how could I not know?"

"But everyone in Daliang knows that His Highness Prince Yi is obsessed with beautiful women and indulges in wine and women; he is a carefree prince."

"But I guess no one expected that these were just your tricks to lull everyone into a false sense of security, Your Highness. You were biding your time, weren't you?"

Although Qin Banruo made many blunders, she was not stupid.

On the contrary, considering that he had been arrested, and that Xiao Jingyi had appeared here, he was even more confused.

She knew that this legendary prince was quite different from what was said in the public.

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

I am not afraid of someone being mediocre or incompetent.

The worst fear is that this mediocre and incompetent person is faking it, and has been doing so for over a decade, making everyone believe he is a carefree prince.

At this moment, her eyes were filled with apprehension as she looked at Xiao Jingyi.

When she asked him a question, Xiao Jingyi did not answer. Instead, he squatted down behind her and looked at her carefully: "I never expected that the strategist by Prince Yu's side would be like this."

"Prince Yi, what do you mean by that?"

At this moment, Qin Banruo calmed down, suppressed her fear, and looked at Xiao Jingyi to answer.

"It's nothing, I just find it a bit funny. My silly brother doesn't even know his own identity and has a woman from the Hua tribe lying in wait by his side."

"He's really not afraid of the impact on him if your identity is exposed."

The Hua tribe was a race that the Emperor of Liang greatly feared.

After all, Emperor Liang ascended the throne with the help of the Hua tribe.

Later, in order to erase his dark history, the Hua tribe was wiped out, and from then on, a feud was formed between the two sides.

Now Prince Yu wants to rely on the Hua tribe.

This made Xiao Jingyi wonder whether the Hua tribe was more cunning or just more cunning.

Why do both father and son rely on them so much?

!!!

Upon hearing this, Qin Banruo was greatly shocked. She hadn't expected that Xiao Jingyi would know her identity, which made her feel inexplicably flustered.

My heart, which had just calmed down, was thrown into turmoil again.

"How...how did you know!?"

Qin Banruo asked in alarm.

But Xiao Jingyi shook his head: "How I know is not important. What is important is that you are in my hands now."

This is both a threat and a warning.

Xiao Jingyi lifted Qin Banruo's chin and said, "I'll give you two choices. First, have your men do something for me. If they do, I'll grant you your freedom."

"Secondly, I will not agree, but I have other means to make you agree."

Is this a two-day journey?

It's clearly just one road!

008 Qin Banruo surrendered, intending to control the officials.

Qin Banruo felt flustered upon hearing Xiao Jingyi's words, but she did not lose her composure.

He laughed and said, "Prince Yi, if you have any orders, you can simply send someone to give them. There's no need for such a big fuss."

"How could I, a mere woman, allow you to personally come forward?"

Despite saying this, Qin Banruo was very uneasy.

After all, Xiao Jingyi even knew her identity as a member of the Hua tribe, so she couldn't be sure how much more he knew.

So she decided to play dumb and talk things out.

"ridiculous."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi chuckled and patted Qin Banruo's face.

Yes, it is indeed quite slippery.

Is this the special effect of the Sliding Tribe?

He withdrew his hand, stared at Qin Banruo, and said calmly, "Qin Banruo, Princess Xuanji's disciple. After her passing, you will take over Hongxiuzhao."

"Red Sleeve Pavilion is ostensibly a brothel, but it is an intelligence organization in all its aspects."

"Furthermore, you have also placed Hua ethnic women in the homes of various officials in the imperial court to monitor them, and you have many spies to be activated when needed."

"Am I right?"

Xiao Jingyi knew exactly what Qin Banruo was thinking.

So he directly revealed all of Qin Banruo's background.

"And with your help over the years, Prince Yu has been able to rival the Crown Prince."

"So, are you still pretending to be confused in front of me now?"

“…”

"You...you...."

Hearing Xiao Jingyi's words, Qin Banruo panicked. She felt a chill run down her spine and was terrified.

She felt as if she were completely naked, exposed to the person in front of her.

She quickly retreated, looking at Xiao Jingyi with a fearful expression.

"Don't panic. As long as you cooperate with me, I won't hurt you."

Seeing her flustered appearance, Xiao Jingyi stood up and said to her.

Little did he know that the more he said this, the more flustered Qin Banruo became.
