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

"The system has been updated, but there was no notification?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi asked the system indignantly, "System, what do you mean? You don't tell me you have something good?"

"Ding! The new items added to this system will change according to the dynasty's fortune. Unless there is a qualitative change, such as upgrading from level one to level two and adding a large number of items, there will be a system notification. Otherwise, the items will be added silently."

"Please pay attention to the changes in the store."

"Ah, this..."

The system's words completely baffled Xiao Jingyi.

Is it my own fault?

After thinking about it, Xiao Jingyi didn't say anything more but opened the exchange shop. Sure enough, as the system said, many things had been added to the shop recently.

This is actually his own fault. Ever since he became addicted to lotteries, he has used all his points to participate in lotteries and hardly ever looked at the in-game store.

"It seems we'll have to keep an eye on changes to the online store in the future."

"Since I have some time now, let me see just how many good things have been added during this period."

In the period that followed, Xiao Jingyi actually saw quite a lot of things.

For example, crossbows can pose a threat to martial artists at the Grandmaster level or above.

In battle, it can suppress the enemy general's formation.

Moreover, the prices were not cheap, leaving Xiao Jingyi, who originally thought he had a lot of points (60), speechless.

"I originally thought that with more income, I could buy whatever I wanted, but now I realize that it's not enough at all."

"Well, looks like I'm still poor."

After thinking about this for a moment, Xiao Jingyi bought a White Tiger Token, a Vermilion Bird Token, and then four military formations.

Wind, forest, fire, mountain.

It is as swift as the wind, as slow as the forest, as fierce as fire, and as immovable as a mountain.

These four military formations are capable of both offense and defense, covering all aspects.

Therefore, Xiao Jingyi planned that all future Liang armies should train in this formation so that they could shine in future battles for supremacy.

"Spending 60 at once, I really don't have enough points to go around."

Seeing that he still had over 4 points left, Xiao Jingyi opened the army lottery and drew four times.

"Ding! Congratulations on acquiring 5000 sixth-rank soldiers."

"Ding! Congratulations on acquiring 1000 fifth-rank soldiers."

"Ding! Congratulations on acquiring 1000 fourth-rank soldiers."

"Ding! Congratulations on acquiring 200 first-rank soldiers."

What a lucky day it is today that they've actually drawn a first-rank soldier?

Xiao Jingyi has drawn countless lottery tickets during this period, but the highest rank he can get in the army is only fourth grade, which is considered very high in both the Qin and Ming dynasties.

But he was slightly dissatisfied.

Because I've never tried the first grade!

It just so happens that it was drawn today.

There were only two hundred soldiers of the first rank!

But you should know that even a single soldier of the first rank has 200 points.

This was undoubtedly a huge profit for him!

"Well done, my Imperial Guards are settled now."

Xiao Jingyi was originally thinking about how to build his Imperial Guard, but now that he has these first-rank soldiers, he has some ideas.

All Imperial Guards must be first-rank soldiers!

The minimum establishment size is 2!

Even the emperors of the Qin and Ming dynasties couldn't have done something like this!

Thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi was overjoyed. He then browsed the mall for a while before closing the panel.

He then incorporated all the troops that had attacked Northern Yan into the White Tiger Command, totaling 40 men. He planned to add another 20 men later.

Zhao Yun's army was incorporated into the Vermilion Bird Command.

Meanwhile, in Gyeongju...

Since the Zhang family began their operation, some officials have been indifferent, while others have followed their advice.

"I'm sorry, I just checked and found that there are currently over 680 villages in the county, but unfortunately there is no land available to build a school at the moment. Lord Yang, could you please grant me a few more days?"

Lin Yuansheng of Wuyang County in Qingzhou was an official who followed the arrangements made by the Zhang family.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhihuai's face turned ashen. How could he not know that Lin Yuansheng had done it on purpose?

How could a county magistrate, a man of such high standing, say he has no land?

He doesn't believe it!

He said in a deep voice, "Magistrate Lin, I am here to supervise the construction of the school by order of His Majesty. This is not something to be taken lightly. If the construction is delayed, it will be a responsibility that neither you nor I can bear."

Lin Yuansheng, however, said calmly, "Lord Yang, this magistrate is also powerless to help. We can't very well go and rob those common people if we don't have land, can we?"

"If His Majesty finds out, even if the school is built, neither of us will be able to escape unscathed."

"Hmph! Magistrate Lin, don't you know whether you truly have no land or are pretending?"

Yang Zhihuai was also angry at this moment, and glared at Lin Yuansheng.

Upon seeing this, Lin Yuansheng's smile vanished: "Lord Yang, would I lie to you? I truly have no land! If you don't believe me, I'll have someone report to you personally."

“In that case… Lord Lin… I have done all I could.”

Yang Zhihuai sighed, and then, under Lin Yuansheng's surprised gaze, said to the people behind him, "Commander Cheng, I've done my best."

"Clang!"

"It's alright. Anyone who outwardly obeys His Majesty's decrees but inwardly disobeys them will be killed!"

The Imperial Guard commander following behind Yang Zhihuai drew his embroidered spring knife and walked toward Lin Yuansheng with a gloomy expression.

"What...what are you going to do?"

"I am the magistrate of Wuyang County. How dare you lay a hand on an official appointed by the imperial court?"

Seeing his panicked appearance, the commander took out his Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) badge and showed it to him: "Execute first, then break; this is a special permission granted by the Emperor."

Lin Yuansheng recognized the token in the hand as belonging to the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

He panicked instantly, then stared wide-eyed at Commander Cheng, exclaiming in horror, "You...you're a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?"

Yang Zhihuai may not be afraid, but the Embroidered Uniform Guard had killed quite a few people not long ago.

"Pfft!"

Without giving Lin Yuansheng any chance to explain, Cheng Qianhu slashed his throat with a single blow, killing him instantly, blood spurting high into the air.

Cheng Qianhu remained unfazed, took out Lin Yuansheng's charges, and read them aloud to the public.

After he finished speaking, he walked up to Yang Zhihuai and said, "Lord Yang, as His Majesty wishes, the affairs of Wuyang County will be temporarily handled by you until the newly appointed magistrate arrives."

"well."

Yang Zhihuai replied with some fear. He was quite startled, as a person who had just been alive had died right in front of him.

This Imperial Guard is truly daring to kill.

Your Majesty has made up your mind.

With this in mind, Yang Zhihuai decided to handle things carefully to avoid being targeted by the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Meanwhile, the same thing was happening in other parts of Gyeongju.

Those who cooperate will be allowed to proceed without hindrance; those who obstruct will be killed without mercy.

The key is to expose his crimes after killing him.

This is to tell everyone that the Embroidered Uniform Guard did not kill people indiscriminately; they only killed corrupt officials.

This made the already timid officials of Qingzhou even more fearful.

Of course, those who chose to stand with Xiao Jingyi were incredibly lucky at this moment, because they felt they had chosen the right path.

The road has widened.

.....

Today, a group of uninvited guests also visited the Zhang family's ancestral home.

"Who...who are you?!"

Looking at Song Zhong in front of him, Zhang Linhao roared angrily.

Behind him, a martial artist at the Grandmaster level changed drastically upon sensing Song Zhong's aura.

He then whispered, "Patriarch, the person who has come is a Grandmaster."

"What? A Grandmaster?"

Zhang Linhao was startled.

At this moment, Emperor Song also made a move. He took out a letter that Zhang Linhao had written to an official: "Zhang Linhao, you are trying to incite court officials to outwardly comply but inwardly defy, and disrupt the order of the court."

"I have come to arrest you on His Majesty's orders. Please surrender and avoid being beaten."

!!!

Upon hearing this, Zhang Linhao was shocked, and his face turned deathly pale.

Xiao Jingyi, he really dares... he really dares to attack the aristocratic families?!

Doesn't he know that I come from a prestigious family?

The Zhang family, one of the eight great families!

Isn't he afraid that his throne will be unstable?

Seeing Zhang Linhao's terrified expression, Song Zhong sneered, "Patriarch Zhang, I advise you to surrender and stop having any illusions. Apart from me, all the Imperial Guards in Qingzhou have been dispatched to arrest all the members of your Zhang family."

"As for those officials you notified, they've probably all been taken down by now."

"Come with me to the capital to meet the Emperor; it will be more dignified that way."

"Impossible! How dare the emperor make a move! I am from a prestigious family, isn't he afraid of being scorned by the world!"

Zhang Linhao said ferociously.

Upon hearing his words, Song Zhong smiled contemptuously: "The whole world despises you? His Majesty's promotion of education is for the benefit of the people. Do you think those scholars you've informed will listen to you?"

"Of course, there are some unruly scholars, but don't worry, they're either being skinned alive or being whipped right now, so they probably don't have time to spit on them."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Linhao's expression changed drastically; he felt as if his worldview had been turned upside down.

A tactic that used to work every time is now being rejected by some.

Not only did they refuse to listen, they also arrested him.

This time, Zhang Linhao felt only utter coldness and fear.

Seeing that he was stunned, Song Zhong waved his hand: "Take him down."

After saying that, he walked up to the grandmaster and said calmly, "I believe you won't seek death, will you?"

...

Within days, the Zhang family collapsed.

Xiao Jingyi dealt with the Zhang family with swift and decisive measures, and also dealt with officials with ruthless methods, showing everyone his ruthless side.

This also scared away many powerful families, because none of them wanted to become the next Zhang family.

Especially after the Embroidered Uniform Guards brandished their butcher's knives, they became even more terrified.

Of course, some pedantic scholars took the opportunity to criticize, but their words did not cause any ripples, because in the face of the evidence presented by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, everyone knew that these people had only themselves to blame.
