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

"Your subject greets Your Majesty."

"Mao Xiang greets Your Majesty."

Coming to his senses, Emperor Liang looked at Xiao Jingyi with a puzzled expression and asked, "Jingyi, why are you here? Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Father, are you confused? Didn't you want to summon the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Xiao Jingyi stood up and looked at Emperor Liang, speaking in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

"What does my summons of the Embroidered Uniform Guard have to do with you...?"

Emperor Liang replied subconsciously, but when he was halfway through his sentence, he suddenly realized something was wrong. His pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at Xiao Jingyi with a look of astonishment.

"Jingyi, these Imperial Guards...are...are they yours?!"

"Father, the Embroidered Uniform Guard is the very bodyguard that I have developed over the years."

Xiao Jingyi replied.

His words, however, sounded particularly harsh to Emperor Liang.

What do you mean?

Guards?

Are your guards that powerful?

Grandmaster, and a group of well-trained subordinates, just crush my Suspended Mirror Division!

Emperor Liang was momentarily stunned. He looked at Xiao Jingyi, seemingly pondering how his son had managed to establish the Embroidered Uniform Guard right under his nose.

But as he pondered, Emperor Liang suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Xiao Jingyi with astonishment.

"You...you are the mastermind behind the upheavals in Kyoto?"

In the days since hearing what Xia Jiang had told him that day, Emperor Liang had been wondering whether Prince Yu was the mastermind behind everything in the capital.

However, this idea was abandoned after Xiao Jinghuan rebelled and was easily captured.

why?

A shrewd person will never put themselves in a dangerous situation.

Someone who can manipulate the entire Kyoto, including himself, is definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Therefore, there is only one truth: Xia Jiang was misled.

So these past few days, Emperor Liang has been secretly wondering who it could be.

He thought of Marquis Yan, and he also thought of Prince Ji.

But she just never thought of Xiao Jingyi.

But upon seeing this today, especially after learning that the Embroidered Uniform Guard was also Xiao Jingyi's man, he immediately guessed that Xiao Jingyi was very likely the mastermind behind all of this.

After all, the fact that someone could train the Embroidered Uniform Guard right under his nose was enough to demonstrate his powerful methods, and it wasn't impossible for him to do other things as well.

Xiao Jingyi was not surprised to see that Emperor Liang had guessed it.

He's already revealed his hand, even if it's just by showing that he's the head of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Given Emperor Liang's intelligence, he would definitely have guessed that he was the mastermind behind it all.

If he couldn't guess it, Emperor Liang wouldn't deserve to have sat in that position for so many years.

He did not deny it, but smiled faintly.

“Father, it is indeed me.”

I'm coming clean, I'm not pretending anymore, I'm the mastermind behind it all!

!!!

???

Upon hearing his answer, Emperor Liang sat stunned on the dragon throne as if struck by lightning, his face displaying an unusually rich array of expressions.

There was surprise, panic, fear, and even murderous intent.

This is Emperor Liang. Can you say he had no fatherly love?

Have!

He will absolutely love you as a father until you become a threat to him.

But if you threaten his position, he will be both shocked and hateful, wishing he could get rid of you as soon as possible!

"You...how can you be you...?"

"I've thought of all sorts of people, but I've never thought of you!"

"Hahaha!"

"Jingyi, you have deceived the world, and you have even deceived me. What a clever trick, what a clever trick!"

Emperor Liang laughed heartily, but his trembling body betrayed his current fear.

For the first time, he discovered the horror of his son.

He plotted for twelve years, tarnished his own identity, and lived a carefree life in the world.

But who would have thought that this carefree prince, ridiculed and laughed at by everyone, is now the mastermind behind the turmoil in the capital?

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.

Even Emperor Liang admired his methods.

"Father, these are just means of self-preservation."

"Methods of self-preservation?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Liang gave a self-deprecating laugh, then looked at Xiao Jingyi: "Do you think I would believe that?"

"Whether Father believes it or not is not my concern; as long as I believe it myself, that's enough."

Xiao Jingyi shrugged.

To be fair, he did all that back then simply to protect himself. After witnessing Emperor Liang's ruthlessness, he knew that even if he had no interest in the throne, he could not allow himself to be slaughtered.

0 ········Requesting flowers··· ········

Until the system awakened, he was forced to embark on the path of vying for the throne.

"Then tell me, what exactly do you want to achieve by doing all this?"

Suppressing the complex thoughts in his mind, Emperor Liang looked at Xiao Jingyi and said in a deep voice.

He actually has all sorts of problems.

But in the end, he still decided to ask the question that concerned him the most.

"The throne."

Xiao Jingyi calmly gave his answer. He looked at Emperor Liang and said, word by word, "Your subject wants your position."

"How dare you!"

"boom!"

Emperor Liang slammed his hand on the table and glared angrily.

"Shh!"

Seeing this, Mao Xiang stepped forward, took out a dagger, and left the Embroidered Spring Blade outside.

It is the rule not to carry a weapon when entering the palace.

"Mao Xiang, step back."

Xiao Jingyi saw Mao Xiang standing in front of him and gave him an order.

Hearing his words, even though Mao Xiang was still worried, he obediently stepped aside, but looked around warily.

Little did Emperor Liang know that this scene would greatly alarm him.

He was quite surprised that a grandmaster would listen to Xiao Jingyi so readily.

It should be noted that even he did not have any Grandmaster-level experts under his command.

“Father, it’s not that I’m being bold, but I can’t stand by and watch. In my eyes, no matter who controls the Great Liang, it’s a waste of its resources.”

... ...

"So I took action."

"Hmph! That sounds nice, but you still want the throne!"

Emperor Liang scoffed at Xiao Jingyi's words.

In his view, Xiao Jingyi was all high-sounding and mighty. If he wanted to fight, he should fight. Why pretend to be virtuous when he was actually doing something he didn't?

"That's part of the point, isn't it?"

Xiao Jingyi did not deny it, staring straight at Emperor Liang, choosing to ignore his angry gaze.

"Hoohoo!"

Seeing Xiao Jingyi's posture, Emperor Liang almost fainted, but he managed to stay upright.

Because he knew that if he fell, it would mean that he was weaker than Xiao Jingyi by even a fraction.

From now on, there will be no possibility of suppressing him.

After taking a deep breath, Emperor Liang asked, "So, for your own selfish desires, you stirred up trouble in the entire court. Have you considered the consequences?"

"as a result of?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi smiled and said, "I haven't discovered the consequences, but I have managed to eliminate a bunch of parasites."

"Moths?" Emperor Liang frowned.

"The external threats to the Great Liang have never been eliminated. However, the struggle between the Crown Prince and Prince Yu in recent years may seem insignificant, but it has drawn the attention of all officials to the factional strife."

"Without ambition and instead forming cliques for personal gain, how many people in the entire Great Liang are left who can actually get things done?"

Xiao Jingyi looked at Emperor Liang and asked bluntly.

"That's one point."

"The Crown Prince used the Ministry of Revenue to amass wealth and establish a private artillery battalion, competing with the people for profit. Prince Yu embezzled funds under the guise of disaster relief, exploiting the victims. Yet, the Emperor turned a blind eye, allowing these things to continue unchecked."

As he spoke, Xiao Jingyi held up two fingers: "This is the second point."

"Father, you are the ruler of Great Liang, yet you are obsessed with the art of political intrigue. Now, corruption and collusion are rampant in the court."

"The officials have committed countless crimes; don't you know that?"

"But have you taken any action?"

"That's the third point!"

After Xiao Jingyi finished speaking, he withdrew his hand and looked at Emperor Liang: "These three points are enough to show that there are many corrupt officials in the Great Liang Dynasty. That is why I took action to clear away these corrupt officials on my way forward."

"Does Father think that what I did was wrong?"

"thump!"

Xiao Jingyi's three questions immediately caused Emperor Liang to slump onto his dragon throne. His face turned pale and then purple as he looked at Xiao Jingyi, wanting to say something, but in the end, he said nothing.

Because he couldn't refute it!

"Well... well, what a great way to get rid of the termites..."

"Does that mean that after these small parasites are dealt with, you're going to take action now and clean up this big parasite, me!"

When Emperor Liang said this, his eyes were filled with a cold light.

He had clearly decided to kill him.

But Xiao Jingyi seemed not to see it and pointed to Mao Xiang beside him: "Father, if I want it now, he can do it for me right away."

"Clang!"

Mao Xiang drew his dagger, looking ready to strike.

Meanwhile, the imperial guards on both sides drew their swords, ready to attack at any moment.
