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

Zhao Ziyi took out his house deed and handed it to Jia Xu.

He added, "I heard that Lord Jia has just arrived in the capital and has no place to stay. This is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."

Upon seeing the property deed, Jia Xu feigned surprise, a glint of greed flashing in his eyes.

Then he quickly took the property deed, looked at Zhao Ziyi, and sighed: "Alas, Lord Zhao, I appreciate your kindness, but I cannot accept your things now."

Seeing that Jia Xu had returned the things he had taken, Zhao Ziyi was startled and asked, "Lord Jia, why are you doing this?"

"Don't worry, I just want to ask you some questions, I won't make things difficult for you."

"But it's really difficult for me to be on good terms with you all right now."

Jia Xu said with a bitter expression.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ziyi's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong. He then looked at Jia Xu and asked, "Lord Jia, what do you mean by that?"

"Please enlighten me, Lord Jia."

To further escalate the situation, Zhao Ziyi also took out a stack of silver notes and stuffed them into his hand: "Lord Jia, just tell me, I will never mention it to outsiders."

Looking at the house deed and then at the silver notes, Jia Xu was overjoyed, but he pretended to be conflicted and spoke after a long while.

"Alright, it's fine to tell you anyway, you'll find out in a few days."

"Actually, the envoy from Ye Qin met with His Majesty and claimed that he wanted to form an alliance with Daliang to attack Dayu together. At that time, the entire Dayu would be divided into six parts and four parts, and Ye Qin would also provide military expenses."

"His Majesty was very interested after hearing this, and has summoned many court officials to meet with him in recent days to discuss whether this matter is feasible."

"What?! Lord Jia, are you serious?"

"What good would it do me to lie to you? If you don't believe me, just wait for my reply."

Hearing Jia Xu's words, and seeing the conflicted look on Jia Xu's face just now, Zhao Ziyi was already mostly convinced. He said in a deep voice.

"Brother Jia, please help me keep His Majesty of Daliang in check. I will definitely have a reply within five days. Please take this deed."

After saying that, Zhao Ziyi left in a hurry.

Watching his departing figure, Jia Xu glanced at the house deed in his hand and chuckled softly, "First one sorted out."

On the third day, Jia Xu used the same trick again, deceiving the envoy from Ye Qin, and he even made sure Zhao Ziyi knew about their meeting.

In the following days, Jia Xu traveled between the two men, telling them separately that the other side was going to join forces with the Liang dynasty to beat them up.

When the news reached the emperors of both sides, their first reaction was to try to form an alliance before the other side.

Seven days later, Ye Qin secretly signed an alliance treaty with Daliang without making it public, and returned to prepare for war against Dayu.

Three days after Ye Qin left, Dayu also left satisfied, clearly having formed an alliance with Daliang.

Of course, they also paid a heavy price for this alliance.

For example, money, grain, cattle, sheep, etc.

Inside the palace.

Listening to Jia Xu's report, Xiao Jingyi chuckled and said to him, "Jia Xu, you are truly a master at manipulating people's hearts."

"Your Majesty, I only know a little bit about this, but I am no match for Your Majesty. You can see people's hearts and judge loyalty and treachery at a glance."

Upon hearing Jia Xu's words, Xiao Jingyi did not argue with him, but instead looked at the two exquisite boxes that Jia Xu had ordered someone to bring over.

Pointing, he asked, "What's in here?"

"Your Majesty, these were given to me by the envoys of Dayu and Yeqin these past few days. I dared not touch a single piece of it. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jingyi opened it and took a look, discovering that its value was not low.

He chuckled lightly: "You're really willing to give me this much money?"

“Your Majesty, this money was used to buy information. Within the territory of Liang, my life belongs to Your Majesty. Moreover, I was acting under orders this time, and I was merely collecting this money on your behalf.”

Jia Xu replied with a smile.

Hearing this, Xiao Jingyi sighed, "He truly is a sophisticated and self-interested person; he's so thoughtful."

It's important to understand that most officials, even if they were to hand over the entire amount in this situation, wouldn't do so.

But Jia Xu did not do that; he simply did not budge an inch, which was also a way for him to protect himself.

Xiao Jingyi glanced at it, then took out the house deed: "Since you are going to hand it over, I will gladly accept it. However, I seem to remember that you do not have a place to live yet. This place is quite nice, so I will bestow it upon you."

Jia Xu did not refuse and immediately accepted the reward with a smile: "Your Majesty, I thank you for your reward."

Seeing his stubborn and unyielding manner, Xiao Jingyi smiled.

Without saying anything more, he had Han Le hand the deed to Jia Xu...

"You have done a good job in receiving the envoys this time, but unfortunately we cannot announce it now. You will have to bear with it for a while, and I will reward you with honors later. How about that?"

"It is entirely up to Your Majesty to decide."

"Okay, let's go down first."

"Your Majesty, I take my leave!"

Watching Jia Xu leave, Xiao Jingyi chuckled softly: "He's a good talent. If used properly, he could indeed be very beneficial to my Liang Dynasty. It's just that his plan was too ruthless."

"Your Majesty, I have come to see you."

Just then, Xu Weixiong, carrying a bowl of soup, walked forward gracefully.

"Oh? Bear, what brings you here?"

"If I remember correctly, this should be your first time visiting my imperial study, right?"

Xiao Jingyi was very surprised to see Xu Weixiong coming over.

Unlike the other women, Xu Weixiong spent almost all her time in her own palace or the palaces of other concubines after moving into the palace, and would never appear in her office.

It was as if they were trying to avoid suspicion.

"Your Majesty~"

Upon hearing his words, Xu Weixiong immediately threw himself into his arms, staring intently at him without saying a word.

"What's wrong with you?"

Seeing that Xu Weixiong remained silent, Xiao Jingyi looked at her with some confusion.

But Xu Weixiong still wouldn't say.

Seeing this, Xiao Jingyi touched her forehead: "You don't have a fever?"

"Did you lose at cards again?"

"Or did you hit someone?"

"Did they bully you?"

"If neither of those are the case... then you just want to... hehehehe..."

“…”

Seeing that Xiao Jingyi's guesses were getting more and more outrageous, Xu Weixiong was stunned. He rolled his eyes at Xiao Jingyi and then whispered in his ear, "I'm pregnant."

"boom!"

One sentence was like a bomb exploding in Xiao Jingyi's heart.

He was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, and then smiled and picked up Xu Weixiong: "Xiongxiong, what did you just say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again."

"Your Majesty, I am pregnant. The imperial physician just diagnosed me today. As soon as I heard the news, I came to see you immediately."

Xiao Jingyi was overjoyed to hear Xue Weixiong's confirmation.

He hugged Xu Weixiong and spun him around, repeatedly saying, "Haha, I have a child!"

Having never been a father before, Xiao Jingyi didn't know that hearing such news could actually make people happy.

After that, he made no attempt to hide his joy, showering everyone he met with gifts, and even clinging to Xu Weixiong and refusing to let her down.

Seeing his happy expression, Xu Weixiong stared at him intently, because she could sense Xiao Jingyi's loss of composure.

It's worth noting that very few things could make him lose his composure.

"Your Majesty, please put me down. You still have official duties to attend to."

"I will not deal with this anymore. I hereby announce to the world that the court will also be closed for three days!"

"Your Majesty, this is not a good idea. People will talk about it."

"In my court, I have the final say."

...

And so, the news of Xu Wei and Xiong Youxiong's pregnancy spread throughout the entire Daliang.

Xiao Jingyi even lowered taxes, which made the whole country rejoice. The people were naturally grateful and had a great fondness for this unborn prince/princess.

Upon hearing the news, the officials breathed a sigh of relief.

Because His Majesty finally has an heir, they no longer need to worry about the royal family having no successor.

Having children at the age of 25 might be normal in modern times, but in the historical context of the Great Liang Dynasty, it's somewhat outrageous.

The news that Xu Weixiong was pregnant also spurred Yaoyue and other women to action.

They were extremely envious of Xu Wei and Xiong Nengzhong.

Because they also wanted to have children, but unfortunately there was still no progress, they could only search for Xiao Jingyi even more frantically.

This time, they didn't care about being reserved and teamed up in pairs.

Yan Fei and Yao Yue, Jiang Yu Yan and Ni Huang, Xue Nu and Zi Nu....

These successive attacks made Xiao Jingyi extremely happy.

095 The desperate struggle of Northern Yan, for the fate of the nation (Please subscribe, subscribe yourself, or do anything)

"Your Majesty, the Liang army has captured Ye City, and the entire Xia Yin Prefecture has now fallen!"

"In just half a month, we have already fallen in three states!"

"Furthermore, the Liang army has only taken a short rest and has already begun its advance. If Cangzhou falls again, the capital will be wide open, and Northern Yan will be in grave danger."

Inside the Northern Yan imperial palace, an official spoke with grief.

Upon hearing his words, Emperor Feng Tian of Northern Yan was furious: "Bang!"

"This is outrageous! The Great Liang has truly gone too far!"

Feng Tian slammed his fist on the table in anger. He was heartbroken to have lost three states in a row.

At the same time, he felt very regretful. If he hadn't acted rashly back then, thinking that he would gain some benefits by attacking Daliang at this time, he would have been in trouble.

And now?

It's utterly pointless and offers absolutely no benefit!

They even lost three prefectures to the Great Liang!

It should be noted that Northern Yan was not as wealthy as Great Liang, possessing only fifteen prefectures, while Great Liang had fourteen prefectures in just Jiangzuo.

As a result, one-fifth of the fifteen states have been taken over!

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Great Liang's intention to abandon Northern Yan is blatantly obvious. If we do not find a way, I fear that Northern Yan will not be able to survive!"

At this moment, Liang Yongdong, the Minister of War of Northern Yan, stepped forward and spoke.

Upon hearing his words, the court officials present all tensed up, their expressions turning somewhat grim.

In the past, they might not have thought this way.

After all, it's not like we haven't fought against the Liang before; every time it was all bark and no bite.

But now the Liang army is completely renewed, and with the sudden appearance of the Mo Dao Army, they have utterly annihilated them.

None of the generals who went to war have returned alive.

Daliang may truly harbor the intention to destroy Yan.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan, but I don't know if it's feasible?"

Then an old minister stepped forward; he was Cai Yongsheng, the Minister of Rites of the Great Liang Dynasty.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at him. They were all very familiar with this old minister, who was always taciturn and rarely spoke in court.
