[Fantasy] My World (Complete) - 5

Chapter Two: The Assassination Plan
May 5th, Year 42 of Emperor Kangxi, Evening.
Today is the day I will assassinate Fu Jitang.
May 5th is the imperial festival for offering sacrifices to Heaven, and also a celebration of Empress Ren's recovery. Today, Emperor Kangxi held a grand banquet in the palace at noon, and the evening, after the banquet, Fu Jitang's journey home will be the perfect opportunity for my assassination.
Fu Jitang, the Minister of War, comes from a prestigious family. He is the third younger brother of the head of the Fu family. Twenty years ago, he went to the capital alone and won the top spot in the capital's martial arts examination. In recent years, with the constant recommendation of the Prince of Zhennan, he rose to the position of Minister of War at the young age of forty-two, making him one of the top three in the military.
The reason for this is that thirty years ago, when the Prince of Zhennan led the army to defeat the southern rebels, he befriended the then-unremarkable Fu family.
With the Prince of Zhennan's help, the Fu family gradually grew stronger, and outstanding talents emerged from its ranks. Ten years ago, with the Prince of Zhennan's secret assistance, they defeated the combined forces of eight sects in one fell swoop, thus becoming the dominant force in the southeast.
Conversely, the Fu family also repaid the Prince of Zhennan handsomely. Whatever the Prince of Zhennan did was their business; any enemy of the Prince of Zhennan would surely die at their hands, no matter the cost.
Therefore, in the martial arts world, the Fu family was called "Zhennan's beloved dogs"... while those who had grudges against the Fu family directly called them "Zhennan's vicious dogs." Thus, to a large extent, Fu Jitang served as a bridge between the Fu family and the Prince of Zhennan.
In recent years, Fu Jitang and the military giant, the Prince of Zhennan, had increasingly worked in concert in the court, controlling most of the military affairs, and their men were everywhere in the army.
According to his godfather, Lord Han's calculations, they controlled at least 40% of the military power, meaning they commanded 400,000 soldiers of Liufeng Kingdom.
Fortunately, only less than 50,000 soldiers were truly loyal to them; otherwise, the Prince of Zhennan would have already forced Emperor Kangzong to abdicate.
Damn it!
If I had ever considered using the people of Wushuang County to crush them when facing enemies before, then if Fu Jitang knew I was the one to kill him this time, he could easily divide his forces of 200,000 and crush the Liu family and the people of Wushuang County together.
At this moment, the sky was dark, dark clouds hung low, and a storm was brewing.
I chose Fu Jitang's assassination location on Fumen Street, a bustling street in the northwest district.
Firstly, it was very lively, with a constant flow of people even late at night, making it easy to hide; secondly, it was Fu Jitang's only route back to his residence. He, who held immense power and had the Prince of Zhennan as his backer, greatly enjoyed such a grand and imposing procession—what we would call "show-off." When I had drunk my seventh cup of wine, Fu Jitang's entourage finally arrived.
Like the other ministers who had passed by before, his entourage was first led by his personal guards on both sides, followed by a typical military protection method—a tight "well" formation.
The carriage caravan moved slowly by. There were three carriages in total, all identical in appearance, but only one carried Fu Jitang. Although the exterior of this carriage was made of ordinary wood, it was undoubtedly reinforced with thick iron plates inside, making it impervious to crossbow bolts.
I circulated my inner energy to examine it, then gently wrote the number "three" on the table. Little Turtle and Little Bird nodded in understanding.
Just like last time, the three of us had disguised ourselves inconspicuously. Besides, the capital was a melting pot of all sorts of people, and no one had time to pay attention to us.
Fu Jitang was sitting in the spacious carriage, resting with his eyes closed while recalling the events of the day at the palace banquet, trying to guess the intentions of his allies and enemies.
Suddenly, a very uneasy feeling welled up in his heart.
Then, with two
loud "bangs,"
the iron-clad carriage walls on both sides were suddenly torn open with true energy, as easily as ripping paper.
The battle-hardened Fu Jitang steadied himself, let out a loud shout, and simultaneously extended both palms, unleashing a sweeping force of internal energy to deflect the enemies attacking from the left and right.
"Bang!"
The dull thud of internal force shattered the metal walls of the carriage once more, instantly exposing Fu Jitang, while the two black-clad assassins were sent flying.
Although he had knocked the two assassins away, he knew that his energy had only penetrated a little into their bodies before being unable to advance further; they had merely been propelled away by the force of the impact, not injured.
Only then did Fu Jitang realize that four of his thirty-six Iron Guards had fallen, and the two assassins who had been thrown out were now fighting with the other Iron Guards.
Under their fierce palm strikes, the numerically superior Iron Guards gained no advantage. The surrounding crowd was too large, and the noise and panic further disrupted the Iron Guards' defenses, preventing them from even forming a proper formation.
The two assassins, however, seemed to be holding back, merely engaging in hit-and-run tactics, not fighting to the death.
For some reason, Fu Jitang felt even more uneasy, even though the other guards were already tightly surrounding him.
At this moment, after a brief panic, the people on the street, having had more than a dozen of them killed by the Iron Guards, dared not rush into the middle anymore, but instead hid to the side, secretly watching the fight.
Just as I expected, everyone's attention was drawn to the little turtle and the little bird.
The time had come, and it was my turn to appear.
After putting on a demon mask, I lightly touched the railing with my toes, and my legs shot straight towards Fu Jitang, who was standing on the carriage, like lightning.
As expected of the number one expert in the capital, upon hearing the whooshing sound, Fu Jitang shouted and swung his "Dragon Slayer" sword. A flash of white light appeared, and a fierce gust of wind of blades rushed towards my feet.
Just as my legs were about to be struck by the Dragon Slayer sword, I strangely flipped backward, turned around, and slammed my hand heavily on the large sword that hadn't had time to change shape.
"Pfft!"
Fu Jitang used the vomiting of blood to dissipate most of the true energy that had invaded his body. Even so, his body still swayed.
After making contact with him, I didn't fly away. Instead, I flipped upwards, rising three zhang before quickly falling back down, my palms reappearing above Fu Jitang's head.
Fu Jitang cried out in agony. Knowing the strength of the attacker, he wondered how a peerless master could have come to assassinate him.
On the other hand, he didn't hesitate to leap out of the carriage, temporarily avoiding my unstoppable attack.
My palms didn't miss. I flipped again, moving my feet to the horse's back; using the momentum, I flew again, relentlessly pursuing Fu Jitang.
However, after this delay, he was already surrounded by guards.
As soon as I got close to Fu Jitang, no less than ten swords and knives came flying at me.
I sneered, my palms striking their swords and knives almost simultaneously. Instantly, everyone I touched coughed up blood and was sent flying to the side.
Although the guards nearby saw their master in danger, with the skillful coordination of Little Turtle and Little Bird, they could only parry and couldn't even protect themselves. They could only watch helplessly as their casualties gradually increased.
At this moment, I had already moved again and appeared beside Fu Jitang, striking him with both palms with lightning speed.
Around him, because all the dozen or so guards had coughed up blood and flown away, I had temporarily created a vacuum, and no one was beside him.
Helpless, Fu Jitang could only do what he had done before, slashing horizontally with his sword to meet my palms.
Just when he thought he would be knocked away by me again, he was horrified to find that his sword strike, which he had wielded with all his strength, couldn't make contact with any energy.
Realizing he had been tricked, he didn't have time to retract his sword, but I used my energy to pull him and his sword to my front.
Fu Jitang's reaction was first-rate. He unleashed his power, severing the connection between his broadsword and himself. Without hesitation, he released his weapon and retreated swiftly, intending to regroup with his subordinates who were rushing towards him.
How could I let him have his way? With a forceful twist, I snapped the Dragon-Slaying Blade in two and hurled it at him like lightning.
Then, with a light touch of my toes, I soared into the air and struck down suddenly. In this way, I created a three-pronged attack on Fu Jitang's front, each attack imminent.
He sighed and reluctantly took to the air. Although he dodged the two broken blades, he had to do the thing he least wanted to do—clash head-on with me, a peerless master whose skill far surpassed his own.
I dared not be careless. I unleashed the Heavenly Demon Art, attacking this top master of the capital who was descending from below with all my might. After a loud
"bang!"
, the Minister of War fell limply from the air.
From his pale face and trembling body, everyone knew that he was in bad shape.
After I shouted "Go!"
, the little turtle and the little bird forced back the Iron Guards and flew after me.
The Fu family Iron Guards, no longer caring about chasing the enemy, rushed to their master, whose fate was uncertain.
At this moment, his wife ran out from another carriage and hugged him tightly.
Some of the Iron Guards channeled their inner energy into him, while others fed him healing medicine. Everything they did was to save the life of this clerk from the Ministry of War.
With everyone's help, Fu Jitang finally managed to keep his breath, and with a mighty effort, he opened his mouth: "Tell... Master... that... the... Yuwen... family... killed me!"
After saying this, he couldn't catch his breath, his head lolled to the side, and he died in his wife's arms.
"Husband..."
A shrill cry pierced the dark sky.
My final move to kill Fu Jitang was a mimicry of the Yuwen family's secret martial art, the "Jade-Severing Technique." After reaching the eighth level of the Heavenly Demon Art, I could freely manipulate the flow of my inner energy. Furthermore, the palace secretly possessed a copy of the "Jade-Severing Technique," which I mastered after only one reading.
After shattering Fu Jitang's protective inner energy with my internal force, I finished him off with the "Jade-Severing Technique," completely erasing any trace of the Heavenly Demon Art.
Even the head of the Fu family couldn't distinguish it; only the top experts of the Yuwen family who knew the "Jade-Severing Technique" could tell the difference.
But would the Fu family believe the Yuwen family's explanation?
Since they wouldn't, and given their existing enmity, such a significant assassination attempt would naturally provoke a life-or-death struggle between the two sides.
If the Fu and Yuwen families clashed, the power struggle between their backers in court—the Prince of Zhennan and the Prince of Tang—would inevitably come to the forefront.
Meanwhile, Emperor Kangzong could also take advantage of their chaos to promote his own people to the position of Minister of War, gradually resolving the long-standing problem of military power being held by Zhennan Yu.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but admire my father-in-law's cunning and methods. As long as Fu Jitian and the others were eliminated, significant changes would occur both inside and outside the court, and he could reap so many benefits… It seems I must be careful of him before getting Yunfu.
Damn it! Who told me this emperor was weak and easily bullied? In this world, there are more than just you, young master, who can play the fool!
Flying to a secluded location, after changing clothes and removing my mask, I swaggered towards Prime Minister Han's residence in the northeast district with Little Turtle and Little Bird.
This assassination was a complete success. Not only did I kill the capital's top expert—Minister of War Fu Jitang—in one fell swoop, but I also successfully framed the Tang King's group.
Throughout the entire operation, Little Turtle, Little Bird, and I were completely unharmed, which filled me with immense joy and gave me even more confidence in my upcoming plan to control the martial arts world.
The three of us, chatting and laughing, arrived at the bustling entrance of Zuoloufang in the northeastern district when we heard the sounds of fighting.
Looking around, we saw commoners craning their necks to peer into the center of the street, where a large group of guards in brocade robes and several groups of conspicuous masked men in black were locked in a fierce battle. People were falling one after another, but no one seemed to care.
The men in black were charging towards the caravan in the middle like madmen, while the guards in brocade robes desperately tried to stop them. Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and the clash of weapons filled the air.
"No way?"
Little Turtle, Little Bird, and I exchanged a shocked glance. An assassination attempt here too?
The capital city is certainly not peaceful tonight!
Looking closer… oh no! It's my godfather and future father-in-law, Prime Minister Han's caravan! Amidst the fighting, we heard several familiar, anxious shouts.
"Ah?"
My face hardened, my scalp tingled, and I flew over at top speed.
Just as I reached the center of the fight, a man in black blocked Su Yue's sword. Immediately, three more swords thrust at her from the front, back, and left. Su Yan, who was fighting fiercely beside her, couldn't help her in time. Even Su Yue herself was pale, her weapon disabled, leaving her with nowhere to retreat.
"Roar!"
Without hesitation, I unleashed the Heavenly Demon's Roar, a clear howl that caused both sides to pause.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I flew down and landed beside Su Yue, snatching the broad-backed, thick sword from the man in black who had blocked her sword. With a skillful twist and slash, I cleaved him in two from chest to top.
Then, I wrapped my arm around Su Yue's slender waist, raised my right leg, used my left leg as a pivot, and spun rapidly, my sword flashing horizontally, instantly severing the three swords that were about to pierce her delicate body.
With a swift movement, my raised right foot delivered three consecutive kicks, striking their chests hard. The three men groaned and flew backward—judging from the large dents in their chests, they were certainly not going to survive.
After dealing with the enemies surrounding Su Yan, I carried Su Yue to the side of Lord Han and his wife, who were pale but unharmed.
The shaken Su Yan and Su Yue gripped my hands tightly, their palms cold yet sweaty.
The entire rescue, though seemingly complex, was actually completed in the blink of an eye. So fast that before anyone else could react, I had already rescued Su Yue and Su Yan from the onslaught of swords and spears.
At this moment, Little Turtle and Little Bird also drew their weapons, rushing in with swords and blades to block the pursuing enemies.
With the help of the two possessing the Heavenly Demon Art, the guards quickly regained their footing, and the battle gradually reached a stalemate.
At first, Little Turtle and Little Bird were incredibly imposing, their swords flashing as they charged and slashed at the men in black. But when they encountered two seemingly leader-like figures wielding longswords and skilled in combined attacks, they were entangled by the experienced Little Turtle and Little Bird, and the battle reached a stalemate.
"Ri'er, it's them! They killed the ten golden-clad guards the Emperor sent to protect me!"
Prime Minister Han's expression was grim as he looked at the two locked in a fierce battle with Little Turtle and Little Bird. "If those ten golden-clad guards hadn't fought so desperately to stop them, I'm afraid..."
I nodded. "Father, don't worry! Your son will definitely capture them and cut them into a thousand pieces!"
Actually, if I hadn't specifically instructed Little Turtle and Little Bird not to team up but to fight separately, even if their combined attack was powerful, it wouldn't be as effective as the wondrous combined attack technique of "Heavenly Demon Breaking Immortal."
Taking out weapons and not using combined attacks were both ways to distinguish themselves from the assassination attempt on Fu Jitang earlier. The capital city is full of hidden talents, so I can't be careless. I have to be careful in everything I do. Otherwise, if a smart person sees through my disguise, not only will I not be able to marry Guai Yunfu, but I will also be besieged by the Fu family and the Yuwen family, and I will also have to bear the wrath of the Prince of Zhennan.
Emperor Kangzong could easily renege on his promise, but I wouldn't be able to escape. I could manage on my own, but my father, uncles, stepmothers, mothers-in-law, and wives… they would face far greater trouble!
Speaking of which, I, Liu Ri, have changed a lot lately, becoming more thoughtful. While I wouldn't call myself cunning, my vision and mind are far broader than when I first entered the martial world.
Because we're under the Emperor's nose, things are naturally much more efficient.
A large-scale assassination attempt in a bustling marketplace, unless it's a one-hit kill, could easily be surrounded by the authorities.
Within the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, a large number of Imperial Guards arrived, first sealing off Zuo Lou Fang, then surrounding Lord Han and his group, along with the fighting crowd.
With their addition, along with the palace's gold and silver-clad guards, they quickly killed or captured the black-clad men, except for the two fighting the little turtle and the little bird, bringing the situation under control.
Seeing this, Lord Han grew even bolder: "Listen to me, if you let an assassin go, you'll all come back with your heads!"
The guards roared in agreement. With their superior numbers, they moved with even greater speed and ferocity, slaughtering the group of men in black who cried out in agony, yet not one of them retreated.
Huh?
Watching the fight with a cold eye, I noticed something surprising.
Why...why do these two people's martial arts look so familiar?
For example, this move "Severing the Sky and Taking the Clouds" seems similar to this "Injuring Jade and Injuring the Spirit"...isn't this the Yuwen family's "Severing Jade Sword Technique"?
They are from the Yuwen family.
After identifying the assassins, a cold smile crept across my lips. I hadn't expected that after searching for assassins impersonating the Yuwen family, the real deal would appear here.
The two men in black saw their companions dying or being wounded one after another, and the survivors being captured. Even with their combined strength, they could only barely hold their own. The most ferocious young man from before hadn't even moved, clearly feeling it was unnecessary.
They exchanged a glance, made a strange gesture, and then both shouted and feinted, forcing back the little turtle and bird. Suddenly, their swords pierced each other's chests!
The blades were incredibly sharp, and both men fell slowly to the ground without uttering a sound.
Death warriors?
The moment those two words crossed my mind, the captured masked men in black, seeing this, also groaned and fell to the ground, a trickle of black blood visible from the corner of their mouths—to everyone's astonishment, they had all committed suicide.
Countless men in black lay dead on the ground; not a single one was left alive.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, a sense of awe rose within me towards the Yuwen family—no! To all future enemies—that I could not underestimate them.
But… but… are people of the martial world really so damn indifferent to life?
If every martial artist I encounter is so fearless and willing to fight to the death, then… I, the young master, should practice my lightness skill more!
As the saying goes, it's better to run than to fight well. Escaping is the primary goal of us martial arts practitioners; only with life can we enjoy other wonderful opportunities!

Chapter Three: Still Shocked
Under even tighter protection, we, along with the still-shaken Lord Han and his entourage, safely returned to the Left Prime Minister's residence.
Just as we sat down, "Bang!"
, "Bang!"
, "Bang!"
—three cannon shots shook the capital.
Lord Han was startled and stood up from his chair, his expression uncertain. "Could it be that I wasn't the only one assassinated today?"
Seeing my bewildered expression, he explained, "These three cannon shots signify an emergency martial law in the capital. This measure can only be implemented if an official of at least the first rank is assassinated."
"Godfather, I heard from Yan Yan and Yue'er that among those who oppose you in court, Minister of War Fu Jitang is the most difficult to deal with, is that right?"
I asked casually.
At this moment, only my godfather's family and I were in the small hall. I had called the little turtle and the little bird outside to keep watch, so I wasn't afraid of being overheard. Besides, the eldest young master of the Liu family was a top practitioner of the Heavenly Demon Skill; an ordinary person approaching within ten feet would alert me.
"Ri'er, you mean..."
Prime Minister Han's doubt was tinged with a hint of surprise.
My godfather wasn't stupid; he was the "Poisonous Prime Minister" who had stood firm in the court for over twenty years. "However, how can you be so sure it's Fu Jitang?"
I gently squeezed Su Yan and Su Yue's hands; from the moment we started, the two beautiful young women still wouldn't let go of me.
Then I smiled and said, "Father, you've given me your two precious daughters, so I should do something to repay you."
The matter of Emperor Kangzong ordering me to assassinate Fu Jitang was completely unknown to a very few people in the palace, so I wasn't afraid of my lie being exposed. Moreover, even if my godfather had asked me to kill Fu Jitang, I would have done it, so I felt no guilt whatsoever.
My godfather's body trembled, his eyes gleaming again as he laughed heartily, "Good! Ri'er, you truly deserve to be the beloved son-in-law of the Han family!"
Upon receiving this news, Prime Minister Han's mind raced, and he immediately began planning his next move.
Fu Jitang not only hindered Emperor Kangzong's important affairs but also impeded the infiltration of many powerful officials into the army. If it weren't for the support of the Prince of Zhennan, he would have been killed long ago.
Anyone serving as an official in the court knows that military power is the most important and practical thing. In case of any crisis, having the support of the army will certainly provide much greater security.
As a civil official, Prime Minister Han had always suffered from a lack of cooperation from the army, and because of Fu Jitang, he couldn't find anyone to cooperate with him.
Now that I had actually killed Fu Jitang, Prime Minister Han naturally had to start considering how to get his own people into the army to further strengthen his power.
When Lord Han helped his frightened godmother back to her room, I was also dragged back to my boudoir by two beautiful women with grim faces.
As soon as I turned around after closing the door, two fragrant, beautiful bodies, whimpering, threw themselves into my arms.
"Little brother—"
their sweet cries echoed in my ears, and my shoulders became wet. "I...sister...sister...thought...I'd...never...never...see...you...again..."
The fear of death and the heartbreaking separation from their loved ones caused the twin beauties' emotions to erupt in that instant.
"Ah!"
This time it was me who cried out, because the two sisters, in perfect unison, opened their little mouths and bit my shoulders.
Damn it, they're still the same as before, biting me whenever they get excited.
At the same moment, they clumsily and awkwardly helped me remove my clothes, revealing a well-fitting, sleeveless, golden soft armor.
Sigh! This golden silk armor shouldn't just protect against swords and weapons; it should at least protect against bites!
Soon, my clothes were completely stripped off, and the two beautiful older sisters quickly removed their own garments, revealing two stunningly beautiful, snow-white bodies before me. Their almost identical full breasts and shapely buttocks were enough to stir any heart.
"Little brother... I want... you to cherish your older sister!"
the two devilish sisters whispered. Their beautiful faces still bore streaks of tears, making their sweet voices even more alluring.
At this moment, the beauty desperately needed her lover's strong caresses and comfort, to use the passionate embrace and pleasure in bed to dispel her fear and dread.
Who else but the righteous and awe-inspiring young master could undertake such a daunting task?
I laid Su Yue flat on the bed, lifting her snow-white, shapely legs onto my broad shoulders.
Then I knelt before her, my knees pressing against her half-raised, plump buttocks.
My huge, thick, hot penis lingered at the entrance hidden by the dark pubic hair, gently rubbing her two pink and alluring labia. My hands kneaded and squeezed the red gem above her vulva, teasing her.
"Mmm...ah..."
Su Yue squirmed restlessly, and I quickly pressed her down with my other hand: "Yue'er, call me 'husband' and let me hear it."
"Oh...husband..."
Su Yue's voice was like honey, making my bones go weak.
My desire surged, and I wanted to tease her a little more, but remembering what had happened before, I didn't dare to provoke this devilish beauty who loved to bully me.
So, with a thrust, "whoosh!"
I broke through all the barriers, reaching the soft, tender flesh of her womb.
"Oh..."
We both sighed in pleasure at the same time.
I instinctively shifted my hands, firmly grasping Su Yue's slender waist, not wanting her to escape my fierce thrusts.
But it turned out this was completely unnecessary. The already fierce and beautiful woman, stimulated today, fearlessly gripped my wrists, repeatedly thrusting forward, perfectly matching my large penis.
In this way, my penis struck her clitoris every time, brutally stretching open her narrow vagina, each time bringing forth streams of lustful fluid.
"Yan Yan, come here!"
I called over my twin sister, who was standing idly to the side, and had her straddle Su Yue's snow-white body, her squatting buttocks perfectly aligned with Su Yue's small mouth.
At the same time, I had her lean forward, her hands tightly wrapped around me, and with a suck of my tongue, I rolled her sweet, delicate tongue into my mouth.
Su Yue, without needing my instruction, opened her small mouth and took Su Yan's viscous vulva into her mouth, her tongue constantly teasing her clitoris.
With the combined efforts of my husband and me, each of us received double stimulation. In the room filled with a thick atmosphere of debauchery, our lust surged rapidly, causing our movements to become not only larger but also faster.
"Ah... um... ah... oh... oh... oh... ya... yo... oh... um... um..."
The mouths of the two beauties were blocked, preventing them from making any sounds; only the cloying nasal sounds could be heard from their noses.
"Ugh!"
The first to collapse was naturally the older sister, Su Yan, who was less vigorous. She was the first to have her yin essence sucked out by her younger sister and fell down, while her spurting yin fluid splashed all over Su Yue's face.
I took the opportunity to move her aside, and only then did I see the wonderful scene.
On Su Yue's stunningly beautiful face, sweat, yin fluid, and her own saliva were mixed together, making me lose myself in her mixed charm of saint and harlot.
"Yue'er..."
I shouted her name forcefully, leaning forward and pressing her soft legs forward until I could touch her face before stopping.
I hooked Su Yue's tongue, guiding her to lick the mixture of fluids on her face with me.
Su Yue's honeyed orifice opened even wider, like a beautiful flower attracting mad bees to pluck it.
Although my penis could penetrate more easily, the pleasure I felt was a thousand times greater because of my intense focus. Fortunately, Su Yue beneath me gradually softened, no longer as frantic as before, perhaps because her previous forceful counterattack had expended too much energy.
"Ah... little brother... beautiful... um... um... sister... beautiful... beautiful... so... oh... good... good... fierce... yeah... oh... oh... ya... yes... harder... um... little brother... so... sore... sore... ah... again... touched... um... comfortable... so... comfortable... ah... coming... ah... out... ah..."
With the beautiful woman's screams, a surge of intense vaginal fluid made my glans feel incredibly good.
Most miraculously, Su Yue's yin essence, during her unprecedented climax, gushed forth incessantly. I was so delighted that I could only grit my teeth and exert my inner energy, trying to control my ejaculation and resist this unprecedented situation.
Just as I was wondering why Yue'er was being so obedient today, not biting me during her climax, the devilish beauty, as expected, opened her small mouth and bit my chest again.
"Oh..."
Although Su Yan and Su Yue weren't biting me as fiercely as before, at most only causing some pain, I was caught off guard and, in a moment of shock, couldn't control my ejaculation. My yang essence rushed and shot deep into Qin Yue's uterus.
"Ouch!"
The beauty, scalded and dizzy, could no longer bite my muscles, her head going limp and collapsing. As she collapsed, she pressed my neck down, and I ended up pressed against her voluptuous and beautiful body. The wonderful sensation from her perfect breasts was incredibly moving.
After she had enjoyed her climax for a while, I looked at Su Yan and knew she had recovered her energy. I gently nibbled on Su Yue's round earlobe and said, "My dear Yue'er, let your husband go and see Yan Yan first, then we'll have a three-hundred-round battle..."
The beauty wrinkled her little nose, hummed, and closed her eyes comfortably, but didn't answer me. With a
"pop!"
, the huge penis brought up a lot of milky white semen and smoothly inserted itself into another beautiful cave that had been prepared.
Amidst the continuous moans, the fierce battle in the room continued...
※※※ Just as my twin sisters and I were happily fighting on the bed, the Ministry of War's mansion was filled with solemnity and sorrow.
A majestic and imposing middle-aged man, amidst the weeping, carefully examined the body of the Ministry of War's Minister Fu Jitang.
He was none other than Kang Zong's own brother, the number one warrior of the dynasty, known as the "God of War," the Prince of Zhennan, who had rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.
"Indeed, it is the Yuwen family's 'Jade-Severing Technique'!"
After examining it, the Prince of Zhennan clenched his fists, his face filled with murderous intent, and gritted his teeth as he muttered a name: "Chen Hua..."
He was angrily calling out the name of the Prince of Tang. The Yuwen family would never dare to kill the Minister of War; only the Prince of Tang had given them the courage to act so brazenly! This
was a top-three figure in the imperial court and military, a trusted confidant he had painstakingly cultivated for over a decade, who had died so easily at the hands of an assassin! The Prince of Zhennan's anger and resentment were unimaginable.
The implications that followed were endless, and no thought was unreasonable.
But one thing was certain: after this assassination attempt, Fu Jitang, the most suitable candidate for Minister of War, was dead. The Prince of Zhennan would find it difficult to find another person comparable to Fu Jitang to fill the position in the short term. It was easy
to imagine that in the near future, countless forces from all sides would flood into the Ministry of War, devouring his own power.
At this moment, a man walked over, approached the Prince of Zhennan, whispered a few words, and then withdrew. The
Prince of Zhennan, upon hearing his words, wore a complex expression, his eyes fixed on a spot, lost in thought.
"Your Highness!"
The speaker was a middle-aged man with a red face and thick eyebrows, standing beside Fu Jitang's body.
He looked at the Prince of Zhennan with concern, wondering what news he had heard this time.
It took Zhennan Wang a long time to come back to his senses. He sighed and said, "Ru Kuan, it wasn't just us who were attacked today. Even Han Laodu was stabbed..."
The one he called Ru Kuan was Fu Ru Kuan, the second most important person in the Fu family in the capital. He was also an outstanding member of the Fu family. Although he did not serve as an official in the court, he was usually very resourceful and helped Fu Jitang solve his problems.
Hearing this, he temporarily suppressed his grief over the loss of his loved ones and calmly analyzed, "That's fine... With Han Laodu dead, we're even. The greater chaos in the court is actually beneficial to us... Your Highness, was he also killed by the Yuwen family?" The Prince
of Zhennan nodded, then shook his head, "It was the Yuwen family who killed him, but Han Laodu didn't die. He suddenly gained a son-in-law with extraordinary martial arts skills, and it was this person who rescued him in time, preventing the Yuwen family's fifty-eight assassins from succeeding!"
In such a short time, the Prince of Zhennan's spies had already ascertained Liu Ri's identity and reported it to him. Such a highly efficient spies system demonstrates the Prince of Zhennan's foresight and composure; he is truly a remarkable figure.
A great reputation is never undeserved; this probably refers to someone like the Prince of Zhennan.
He changed the subject: "That old poisoner Han is lucky... but I think those fifty-eight people combined aren't as powerful as the three who killed Ji Tang... Hmph! Unrivaled masters? Find out, and I'll make sure you face a life-or-death situation!" The Prince
of Zhennan's voice was thick with killing intent; this was the same Prince of Zhennan who had previously routed hundreds of thousands of enemy troops and was invincible.
"Ru Kuan, convey my order: summon the 'Three Hands' to the capital! If we don't teach Chen Hua a lesson, he'll really think I'm a toothless tiger!"
"Yes!"
Fu Ru Kuan's expression relaxed, and he went to relay this order, which concerned the future of the capital. ※※※ On the sixth day of the fifth month of the forty-second year of Ieyasu's reign, the third assassination attempt.
It was nearly noon when I finally managed to get the two beautiful older sisters
, whose bellies I had filled with semen the night before, out of bed. Their bodies were still limp, and I, the young master, had taken care of everything from their underwear to their outer garments. I held the two women in my arms, helping them dress one by one, enjoying their soft, fragrant bodies.
Overjoyed, I delayed getting dressed until the afternoon before we were properly dressed to visit our godmother, Madam Han, who was now in much better spirits.
Having survived such a perilous assassination attempt, everyone truly appreciated the preciousness of life. During the meal, Madam Han whispered something to her two daughters, making them blush with embarrassment. I overheard her mentioning "children," and immediately understood—Madam Han longed to have a grandchild soon.
The family enjoyed a harmonious lunch. Su Yan and Su Yue stayed to keep their mother company, while I left the mansion according to plan—my destination was the Ministry of Personnel's residence. Emperor
Kangzong had strictly forbidden anyone from revealing that I had cured the Empress, undoubtedly for the sake of my upcoming plan to dominate the martial arts world. The fewer people who knew about my abilities and connections in officialdom, the higher my chances of success.
I calculated that besides Madam Han's family, the four elders of the palace, Emperor Kangzong and his wife, Yun Fu, only the eldest daughter of the Ni family knew about this.
As for Xiang Ting, I wasn't worried; the young lady's heart was firmly set on me, and she was incredibly intelligent. Ming, where would I utter a single word?
My purpose in coming today is to propose marriage to Lord Ni, to solidify our relationship, and to put my little darling at ease and happy.
It seems I'm already quite well-known in the Ni family; as soon as I gave my name, four burly gatekeepers ushered me into the mansion.
A pretty young woman arranged for me to sit down, then excused herself and hurriedly left.
A short while later, as I was idly observing the elegant furnishings of the hall, a fragrant breeze carried in a beautiful woman.
"Brother..."
Her sweet voice was as gentle and affectionate as ever.
I embraced the beautiful woman, greedily sucking on her smooth tongue for a while before releasing the panting Xiangting: "Tingting, did you miss your brother?"
Since learning that my life was no longer in danger, Xiangting returned home under Emperor Kangzong's orders; it's been quite a while since we last saw each other.
"I think... Tingting has been thinking about her brother from beginning to end... even her dreams are filled with his image."
The beautiful woman whispered in my ear, her eyes still glistening with tears.
"Alright, your brother came today to propose to your parents."
I hugged her tightly. "My dear... I also want to marry you as soon as possible!"
She left my embrace, looking at me with inexplicable surprise: "Really?"
I nodded earnestly.
The beautiful woman, having received my affirmation, blossomed into a dazzling smile, her already captivating beauty radiating even more: "Brother..."
After another tender and lingering moment, Xiangting shyly nestled in my arms, listening to the endless sweet words, showering me with kisses, teasing my desire.
"Brother..."
Not long after, Xiangting stood up from my arms, took my hand in her small hand, and said shyly yet firmly: "Let's go see our parents."
The Ni family elders doted on their daughter, and they never refused her request.
Ever since they learned that their beloved daughter had fallen for me and vowed to marry no one but me, Minister Ni and his wife had already mentally agreed to the marriage.
Although they knew I had many wives and concubines, what capable man in this day and age didn't have a harem?
Besides, their daughter marrying me alongside the two daughters of the Han family wouldn't be a loss of face for them.
So, after a few words of advice, the two elders readily agreed, and the marriage was settled. Overjoyed, they immediately hosted a family banquet, where our whole family drank, ate, and chatted together, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
"Tingting, don't you have two older brothers? Where are they?"
After the meal, I sat in the pavilion with my beautiful wife in my arms.
Xiangting smiled sweetly: "Oh… my eldest brother went to the northwest frontier for a rotation, and my second brother went to Qingqu County as an official; neither of them are in the capital… Brother, you'd better be careful, my two brothers said that if you can't beat them, don't even think about marrying my sister…"
Hmph!
I smiled coldly to myself.
Try to fight me?
What difference is there between them and fat pigs waiting to be slaughtered under Butcher Yao's knife?

Chapter Four: Undercurrents
On the seventh day of the fifth month of the forty-second year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, today's court assembly was full of exciting events and climaxes.
First, Emperor Kangxi flew into a rage over the assassination of Fu and Han the previous night, dismissing Lu Ju, the Commander of the Capital Guards, and temporarily appointing Zhang Mu, the former Deputy Commander of the Imperial Guards, to his post.
Next, his godfather, Lord Han, rushed to the center of the hall, delivering a moving and emotional plea with excellent storytelling and singing, which earned Emperor Kangxi's immense sympathy and many rewards to calm him down. Thirty additional golden-clad guards were also dispatched to protect his godfather's family.
Then came the war of words between the Prince of Zhennan and the Prince of Tang.
These two were truly scheming, arguing for two hours about whether the assassins were members of the Yuwen family.
With Prime Minister Han's covert assistance, the Prince of Zhennan gained the upper hand—although he failed to persuade Emperor Kangzong to exterminate the Yuwen family, he still managed to dismiss five Yuwen family officials of the third rank or above in the capital, and demote a Yuwen family prefect in a local area by three ranks, significantly weakening the power of the Prince of Tang's faction.
The final scene was the essence of the entire court assembly.
Minister of Personnel Ni Chu stepped forward and proposed that the position of Minister of War should not remain vacant and should be filled immediately.
Because the event was sudden, no one except Kangzong's faction was prepared. Therefore, a swift and decisive decision was made: Kangzong appointed Zhijian, the former garrison general of Shangyue County, to the position. This general had served on the northeastern frontier for over ten years, possessing high merit and extensive experience; his appointment was unchallenged by the other officials.
However, everyone knew that Zhijian was Kangzong's trusted and beloved general, which would significantly increase Kangzong's power within the Ministry of War.
Last night's death of Fu Jitang prematurely ignited the conflict between the Zhennan Prince and Tang Prince factions, and also forged a deep-seated enmity between the Fu and Yuwen families, who had previously maintained a peaceful relationship.
It seems a fierce life-or-death struggle will soon unfold.
This outcome is, of course, welcomed by everyone except themselves.
Kangzong, in particular, praised me highly after court, his expression clearly showing increased confidence in me.
I seized the opportunity and asked to retrieve some equipment and elixirs from the palace, which he readily agreed to.
Hmph, I'd long heard that the palace was filled with countless treasures. How could I not take some while I could?
So, led by Yunfu, I, along with Little Turtle and Little Bird, arrived at the palace's treasury.
Once inside, after dismissing everyone else, I told Little Turtle and Little Bird to fetch what they wanted, and then I cuddled Princess Yongyue and pulled her aside for a passionate embrace.
First, through her clothes, I fondled the beautiful princess's breasts, which were no less impressive than Xiaoli's, until she gasped softly. Only then did I release my hold.
"Fu'er, your husband really wants to marry you today!"
I said, my burning gaze fixed on the alluring princess.
Yunfu clearly enjoyed hearing her lover's words of affection. She pouted, revealing two charming dimples. "Ridi, your words are so sweet, Yunfu loves them!"
"Of course, but your husband is more than just sweet-talking!"
I chuckled wickedly, guiding her small hand to my erection. "Look, baby, it misses you more than I do!"
The beauty smiled coquettishly, reaching into my pants and grabbing my penis. After playing with it for a few moments with her slender, smooth fingers, she unexpectedly pulled it down hard.
"Ouch..."
I plummeted from heaven to earth.
Before I could speak, her warm, moist lips brushed against my ear, her voice gentle and devoid of any anger: "This princess isn't as easily fooled as silly Xiangting! I'm warning you... if you dare bring a new wife back from your journey, I'll chop you up first, then kill them all!"
She paused, her expression softening, "After you complete your mission, little brother... Yunfu's virginity is waiting for you, you little pervert, to break it... huh?"
Tch!
This emperor's daughter is just as ruthless as her father!
After she marries into the family, I'll have to train her properly. How can a woman not listen to her man?
Yes! I'll just use my precious spear to make her unable to get out of bed every day.
That's what I was thinking, but my face remained solemn as I replied, "With such a beautiful wife as my sister, of course I won't stray. Besides, I think those barbaric women of the martial world are definitely not even a fraction as good as my good princess..." Seeing that
the beauty seemed about to say something more, I quickly and alertly sealed her cherry lips with a kiss. Amidst a passionate kiss with the beauty, a commotion was averted thanks to Young Master Ri's quick thinking.
"Young Master, we've found it!"
Just as I was about to reach under Yunfu's clothes again to caress her large, firm, and smooth breasts, two oblivious creatures appeared to spoil the mood.
The beauty quickly buried her blushing face in the back of my neck, and only then did I see the treasures they had chosen.
My eyes widened: "Huh? What are you carrying?"
The little turtle was stuffed with bottles and jars; upon closer inspection, I could even see gold and jade gleaming in the sunlight.
The little bird was even more direct, carrying two enormous bundles that almost bent him over; it was clear he had taken valuable and heavy gold and silver jewelry.
"You...you're not moving the Emperor's house, are you?"
Amidst Yunfu's giggles, I felt a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
“No, no, we only took necessities. Young master, look at this bottle of ‘Hundred Flower Dew Pills,’ Zhang Zhen ordered these from us, each one worth a hundred gold coins… And look at this Thousand-Hand Guanyin, I’m going to take it back to Zhuzhu’s mother, she’s a devout Buddhist… And that box of ‘Red Leaf Maple Needles,’ perfect for Gao Ma to use for sewing…”
They got more and more excited as they talked, completely oblivious to my turning pale face.
“I sent you to choose supplies for the battle in the martial world, and here you are, choosing gifts to take home.”
I sneered, “Why don’t I also make a thousand-layer turtle and bird cakes to take home to my family!”
The two scoundrels were so frightened by this that they quickly dropped what they were holding and ran inside, afraid that I would catch them and beat them up.
The beautiful Yun Fu, however, laughed so hard she bent over, her silvery laughter echoing throughout the treasure vault.
※※※The Nanhua Mountains in the southeastern part of the Great Yuan Kingdom comprise eleven large mountains, each home to a Miao tribe, forming the famous Eleven Miao Villages.
In Miao territory, the most powerful figure is not the chief of the village, Lu Haqi, nor the holy maiden, Lu Xiqiong, nor even the village's foremost warrior, Ti Wuhe, but rather the chief high priest, Si Shuishu—this woman holds the lives of over 300,000 people in the Eleven Miao Villages in her hands.
At this moment, in the most beautiful place of the Eleven Miao Villages—the Cliff of Yearning—
in the exquisite hut of High Priest Si Shuishu, a middle-aged woman with delicate features lies on a bed, a veiled young girl, and a middle-aged man with peculiar appearances.
A middle-aged man sat by the bed, anxiously gripping the middle-aged woman's hand. "Shuiyan, can you... still hold on?"
The middle-aged woman gave a forced smile. "Brother Qi, I... I'm afraid I can't make it... I'm entrusting Qiong'er to you..."
From her pale face and dark brow, anyone with medical knowledge could tell that this woman's condition was very serious.
"No!"
The veiled girl cried out in anguish and collapsed beside the bed. "Mother, don't leave me and Father!"
A large group of people outside the room heard this heart-wrenching cry, their hearts filled with sorrow, yet they dared not speak.
The High Priest's illness had struck suddenly, and only a very few knew the cause.
But whether they knew the cause or not, everyone sincerely prayed for the High Priest. Without her, Miao Jiang would no longer be the beautiful Miao Jiang, and many hardships would descend upon it again—almost everyone thought so.
The next day, the beloved daughter of the chief chief of the eleven Miao villages and the High Priest Si Shuishu, the most beautiful flower of Nanhua Mountain—the Holy Maiden Xiqiong—disappeared!
※※※On the tenth day of the fifth month of the forty-second year of Ieyasu's reign, after searching the Imperial Palace for three days and three nights, young master Liu Ri finally gathered everything he wanted.
Gold and silver treasures were, of course, very important. Haven't you heard the saying, "Even a hero can be driven to his death by a penny"?
I don't want to end up like those heroes in tales, "eating in the wind and sleeping in the dew," or "the earth as my bed and the sky as my roof"—that wouldn't suit my status as a young master!
Hehe, I didn't take many gold coins; a measly thirty million gold coins were enough to satisfy me.
Very expensive?
How could that be? It's a business trip on official pay, so I need to have enough.
Secondly, I also took quite a few elixirs and
panaceas—these are life-saving items… Why are there "One Night Stand Pills" and "I Love a Piece of Wood"? Ahem, adult matters, children shouldn't ask. I also took some things from my future father-in-law, the Emperor, like the Nine Dragon Jade Pendant and the Military Token—basically anything that will make me look powerful.
Next, it's time to arrange things at home.
Yuan'er, Wenwen, Suyan, Suyue, the Beautiful Girl Sex Slave Group, Little Turtle, Little Bird—everyone… I'm not taking a single one.
When I announced this, it naturally caused a huge uproar.
Suyan and Suyue, representing all my wives, strongly objected.
Young Master Ri said confidently, "Yuan'er and the others need to recuperate from their injuries and protect Father and Uncle's two families (Prime Minister Han and Minister Ni are naturally protected by their big boss—the Emperor). How can they wander around aimlessly? Besides, Yan Yan and Yue'er's martial arts skills still need to be improved by them. Don't think you have nothing to do. Your task is to stay with Yuan'er and the others and protect your husband's rear. Only then can I, Liu Ri, go out to handle matters with peace of mind." (
Just kidding, with you guys with me, all the beauties in the martial world will be completely out of my reach. I'd like to give you a few more sisters!) Unexpectedly
, the loyal servants, Little Turtle and Little Bird, actually took out knives with serious expressions and placed them on their wrists, saying that if I didn't take them, they would cut their wrists. When asked why, they replied, "It's a servant's
duty to protect his master. If anything happens to me, they'd rather not live either."
Damn it!
What loyalty to their master? You two slippery little devils just want to come with me to that colorful world and have a good time! Even the knife used for wrist-cutting had the back of the blade facing the flesh and the edge facing outwards. Did they really think they could fool me with these tricks? With the combined efforts of Nanbang Kingdom and Candy, Little Turtle and Little Bird were finally appeased. It was then decided that Little Turtle and Little Bird would return to their hometown, while the beautiful girl sex slave group would stay behind in Wushuang County to care for their father. With Yuan'er and Wenwen there, Uncle Tuyi City was a fortress. I also conveniently entrusted the task of teaching Su Yan and Su Yue martial arts to Yuan'er, who was also at the same level as me. Of course, I secretly asked Little Turtle and Little Bird to convey that I needed to help me temper Yan Yan and Yue'er's fiery tempers, but I absolutely couldn't let the twin sisters hear this, otherwise Young Master Ri would be in big trouble tonight, at least tortured for half a day. ※※※ The western part of Liufeng Kingdom is a plain bordering the Green Sea. Beyond the sea lies an unfamiliar territory. While the surrounding hundreds of miles of water are frequented by fishermen, the vast, boundless depths of the ocean remain unexplored. Occasionally, curious youths venture out in boats, but none return. Thus, the local fishermen remain unaware that deep within this ocean lies a small yet beautiful island—one of the sacred sites of the martial arts world—Wu Kong Island. Wu Kong Island's fame stems solely from the presence of a legendary figure from the Holy Sect. No one knows her origins, age, or the source of her martial arts skills. Her renown stems from her capture and slaying of "Blade" Cao Zheng fifty years ago, her sword killing of "Bitter Gallbladder" Li Yusu thirty years ago, and her finger-pointing death of "Sunny Days with Rain" Shu Yiyi ten years ago. In her three recorded appearances in the martial arts world, she averted three catastrophes by killing only these three individuals. Aside from "Sunny Days with Rain" Shu Yiyi, the former leader of the "Soul-Stealing Sect," the other two are unfortunately Demon Lords of the Heavenly Demon Path. The reason Wukong Island is not famous is because she agreed to become the guardian nun of Liufeng Kingdom on the condition that no one from Liufeng Kingdom could venture more than 500 li into the Green Sea. The emperor agreed, so the government never sent out fleets to explore, and merchant ships were also prohibited from sailing far out to sea. She, of course, is the "Wuxing Divine Nun" revered by all. Although Wukong Island is not very large, its flat areas are about the size of a small village, so it is not inhabited by Wuxing Divine Nun alone. If you look closely, you will find that on this island, which is neither too big nor too small, in addition to large bamboo forests and fields, there are dozens of elegant bamboo houses. Everything looks so elegant and comfortable, with an otherworldly feel. In one of the rooms, two women are talking, surrounded by several beauties whose looks and figures are all stunning. A graceful and noble woman, about thirty years old, looks angrily at the young girl in front of her and says, "Wan'er, don't you admit your mistake?" The woman called Wan'er raises her head, revealing a bewitching face that should not appear in heaven or on earth. She said, sounding aggrieved, "I...I thought they were just ordinary seabirds..." As she spoke, she exuded an eerie, seductive charm; one could tell from her expression that her allure was truly innate. While the teenage girl was undeniably beautiful and captivating, compared to her inexplicable allure, she paled in comparison. The other beauties surrounding her created a scene reminiscent of stars surrounding the moon. At this moment, several beautiful women nearby interjected, "Master, please spare Wan'er! No imperial carrier pigeons have arrived in the past ten years, so it's understandable that Junior Sister doesn't know their importance. Besides..." They added with charming laughter, "You know about this little girl's bad habit." Hearing this, the beautiful woman's tense face relaxed, she smiled, and lightly tapped the girl's forehead: "You're hopeless..." Seeing that the beautiful woman was no longer so angry, Wan'er first smiled gratefully at her senior sisters, then quickly threw herself into the woman's arms: "Master, Wan'er won't do it again." She then pressed her flower-like face against the woman's neck and acted coquettishly, sticking out her tongue at her senior sisters, appearing very innocent and adorable. The beautiful women smiled knowingly, and for a moment, this idyllic paradise was filled with laughter as usual. Chapter Five: Encountering the Assassin Again . At my suggestion, Emperor Kangzong only announced to the world that the Empress's injuries had been healed by a reclusive master, without revealing my identity. Furthermore, Empress Ren gave me a new identity—her nephew. Empress Ren had been suddenly made Empress of the Western Palace by Emperor Kangzong, and no one knew her origins. Now, with this new nephew, the gossip among relatives and nobles alike was incessant, with everyone trying to find out if they could marry their daughters to this newcomer. Unfortunately, they gleaned very little information. I had never appeared in their sight, and Empress Ren herself said her nephew had already left the capital for a trip. Speaking of which, I admire Empress Ren and Yunfu quite a bit. These two seemingly frail women had managed to keep the inner palace as secure as an ironclad fortress; no one could obtain any information they didn't want to share. Our family had been in the palace for so long without anyone revealing a single clue—such perfect secrecy made me somewhat envious of my father-in-law. Sigh, back in the day, Wang Pangzi and Gao Ma betrayed me to others about how many times I wet the bed and what color underwear I wore. Damn it, it was so embarrassing that I didn't dare to go out for a long time. But hehe! Soon I'll have that benefit too! Looking at the beautiful princess sitting beside me doing needlework, I smiled smugly.

"Young Master, a fight has broken out!"
Just as Yunfu and I, disguised and having a romantic lunch at the Left Prime Minister's residence, were enjoying our meal, Little Turtle ran over to tell me this wonderful news: "Great news! Young Master, the Prince of Zhennan and the Prince of Tang are fighting!
" "What about the casualties?"
The outcome of my own drama had greatly lifted my spirits, and I asked excitedly.
"The Prince of Tang's men have lost three officials of the third rank, and his second prince's martial arts school has been smashed! The Prince of Zhennan's side suffered no losses and even killed nineteen assassins."
Little Turtle and Little Bird quickly reported the information they had gathered.
"Did the Prince of Zhennan's side send out 'three hands'?"
Yunfu asked sweetly, sitting in my lap.
"Young Madam, you're so clever! The people who gathered the information said it was those three who made the move." "
In contrast, Yunfu preferred them calling her 'Young Madam,' and Little Turtle and Little Bird cleverly catered to her preference. Little Turtle even made an exaggerated expression to show his surprise.
Sure enough, Yunfu nodded with satisfaction and turned to me to explain, 'Brother Ri, these 'Three Hands' are one of the four great masters of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. They've been very influential in the martial arts world these past two years, and many of the Zhennan Prince's enemies have died at their hands.'
After a pause, the beautiful princess added, 'The term 'Three Hands' refers both to the fact that there are three of them and that the three of them together only have three hands. The eldest has two hands, the youngest has one hand, and the youngest has none! But Brother Ri, don't underestimate them. The eldest of the 'Three Hands' is ranked thirty-fifth on the assassin's list, while the second eldest is ranked twenty-third, and the youngest, who has none of his hands, is ranked ninth.'
Oh?" "How can a cripple be ranked among the top ten assassins on the mainland? Did he get in through connections?"
I smiled and said, "Since the Prince of Zhennan's subordinates are so capable, let us serve His Highness Prince Tang one more time!"
That night, on a not-so-wide street in the southern suburbs of the capital, three figures, elongated by the moonlight, approached from afar. They
walked seemingly slowly, yet in the blink of an eye, they reached the other end of the street. Their figures formed a triangular shape, each step remarkably synchronized, creating the impression that the three were fused together. Unless attacked simultaneously, they would be extremely difficult to kill.
Coincidentally, at the end of the street, there was a table, a chair, and the same three figures.
I was sitting in the chair, with two others beside me, also disguised as Little Turtle and Little Bird. The three who approached were, of course, "Three Hands." "Three Hands" walked up to us and immediately stopped. They knew we were enemies, but they didn't make a move beforehand, standing like statues.
The eldest, with two hands, was hunched over, his temples white, and his eyes tightly closed; the third, with one hand, was a middle-aged, overweight man with a constant smile on his face; the third, without arms, was a handsome young man, dressed in white, exuding an elegant and refined air.
"If you can tell me who leaked the information that we were going through here, I'll spare your lives tonight!"
The third man in white cut to the chase without mincing words, his gentle tone cutting straight to the point.
Since their secretive operation had been discovered, there must be a traitor.
Finding the traitor was their top priority; as for the three of us, in "Three Hands'" eyes, we were just cannon fodder! ... "Three Hands" had killed countless people in his life, encountering countless assassins, yet none had ever succeeded.
I, the young master, was no pushover either. I smiled even more gently and said, "If you can make them all have their arms removed like you, and then crawl between my legs like dogs, I'll promise to spare your lives."
No one could stand such words. The old man suddenly opened his eyes, his anger turning into a sneer: "If I don't tear you to pieces, I'm not a Zhong!" Before the words
were even finished, a white shadow rushed straight at me!
It was the eldest brother who spoke, but it was Zhong Laosan who made the move.
Although I was prepared, I hadn't expected Zhong Laosan's lightness skill to be so exceptional. I only had time to use the "Jade-Severing Technique" to strike his foot with my fist.
I expected a master like Zhong Laosan to use the force to bounce back, but unexpectedly, he continued his momentum, meeting my fist head-on.
"Pfft!"
He was thrown back by my internal force, spitting out a mouthful of blood. Before he even hit the ground, Zhong Laosan shouted, "Go!" He
then sped off into the distance like lightning.
His two elder brothers, seeing this, followed without hesitation, shooting into the darkness.
Their speed was so great that I, sitting at the table with an air of superiority, couldn't stop their escape at all.
Caught off guard, we looked at each other in disbelief: Damn! These were the legendary "Three Hands," the ones who would kill gods and Buddhas alike! If I could understand their unique way of communicating, I wouldn't be so surprised.
During their brief standoff, the three Zhong brothers had a conversation: Third Brother: "Eldest Brother, these three are not simple. I can't tell their strength." Second Brother
: "What? Third Brother, you can't even tell… Could they be the three who assassinated Lord Fu a few days ago?"
Eldest Brother: "Hmm, possibly. Third Brother, we'll try to get information out of them, then you go try the one in the middle who's leading them… If it doesn't work, retreat immediately!" "
Zhong Laosan realized my skills far surpassed his, and knew a direct confrontation would be futile, so he wisely chose to retreat. Caught
off guard and lacking experience, we were naturally unable to stop them in time, and could only stand there dumbfounded watching 'Three Hands' escape—this was something I only understood a long time after returning home. Damn
it, 'Three Hands' are shameless!
Just as I was cursing 'Three Hands' for being shameless, Little Turtle and Little Bird, oblivious to the situation, came up to me and mocked, 'Young Master, you can't just go and kill someone and then ask them to stick out their head for you to chop off, can you? No wonder they've gotten to this point, tsk tsk!'" "Amazing, amazing..."
Actually, the little turtle and the little bird weren't that afraid of me; their nemesis was my wives.
Now that they weren't around, they were taking advantage of my misfortune, so they spoke with great gusto.
The clever young master also gleaned another meaning from their words: these two hoped that I would learn from "Three Hands'" cunning and resourcefulness in my future life in the martial world—sometimes experience is more important than martial arts skills. Like today, if it weren't for the three's rich experience in the martial world, they certainly wouldn't have been able to return to the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Half an hour later, in the study of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
"Little San, is it really the 'Jade-Severing Technique'?"
The Zhennan Prince asked, looking at Zhong Laosan, whose face was slightly pale.
"Yes!"
Zhong Laosan nodded firmly: "I don't know how the Yuwen family suddenly produced such a master. Judging from his internal strength and reaction, even the three of us brothers combined couldn't withstand more than three hundred moves!" However, this person is indeed a newcomer, lacking experience in the ways of the world, otherwise…”
The Prince of Zhennan calmed down, clearly understanding the implication in his beloved's words; he could naturally sense the man's formidable nature.
Yet, a lingering doubt remained in his heart. He couldn't quite articulate what this doubt was; it was purely an intuitive reaction honed by decades of warfare.
“Should we call Master Zhao and the others back?”
Zhong Lao Er suggested.
“No need, they have more important matters to attend to.”
The Prince of Zhennan shook his head. “You can leave this matter for now. Go and rest. Tomorrow, continue with ‘that matter’ outside the capital!”
"Yes!"
"Three Hands" breathed a sigh of relief. Not having to fight that terrifying expert head-on was exactly what they wanted.
※※※ In the afternoon of May 18th, the 42nd year of Ieyasu's reign, the largest jewelry store in the capital, "Xianggu Zhai," was filled with the managers of the eighteen major jewelry stores in the city.
They sat together in the hall, seemingly having been there for a long time, and appeared somewhat impatient.
A very wealthy-looking fat man grumbled, "What's going on? We've been waiting for over an hour, and Old Wang still hasn't come out. He's in such a hurry to find us but didn't even greet us. He's practically treating us like strangers."
A pale-faced, beardless middle-aged man smiled sinisterly: "Boss Shen, if you can't wait, you can leave. Nobody's stopping you!"
The fat Boss Shen rolled his small eyes and raised his voice: "Xue Ji, I didn't say anything about you, why are you interrupting? I didn't say I couldn't wait any longer!" The two
gradually started arguing. Strangely, the other shopkeepers didn't seem to care at all; instead, they watched their quarrel with great interest.
It turned out that besides "Xianggu Zhai," which was undoubtedly the best, the jewelry stores of this fat Mr. Shen and Xue Ji were the best in the capital. They not only competed fiercely in business but also constantly attacked and bickered each other when they met, always trying to suppress the other. They were
unhappy and uncomfortable if they didn't argue.
Having seen this so many times, and since they didn't dare to actually fight, only engaging in verbal sparring, their competitors... Treat it as a joke.
Everyone knows that these two businesses, able to rise to prominence right under the emperor's nose, are backed by powerful figures—Boss Shen's backer is the Prince of Tang, while Boss Xue's is the Prince of Zhennan.
The owner of "Xianggu Zhai," Wang He, who they're waiting for, doesn't have an official background, but he's also the head steward of the Wang family, one of the "Three Heroes of the Continent," in the capital, making him an untouchable figure.
Besides these three powerful figures, the owners of the other dozen or so businesses also have, to varying degrees, connections to gangs and government officials.
Collusion between officials and businessmen is quite common. This is a matter of fact.
Whether it's a prince from the imperial family or a powerful martial arts clan, they all face a very real problem—food.
A gang can't develop without money and manpower, especially money. With money and good conditions, they can attract talent, which provides the foundation for development and allows them to seize more territory.
Look at the major martial arts forces that are renowned today; which one doesn't manage both the economy and military power?
The Wang family's jewelry business spans the entire continent; the Nangong family's shipping and fleet are practically equivalent to an envoy of a nation; the Dugu family... The dozens of horse farms owned by the government also supplied civilian horses to three countries; even a pure sect like the Holy Gate was supported by thousands of temples, Taoist monasteries, and nunneries across the land, along with countless devout men and women.
Officials fared better; they generally had no shortage of food.
But to live a carefree and joyous life, like Magistrate Liu training beautiful female dogs and leading an extraordinary life… well, then we must do as Magistrate Liu said: “Based on upholding His Majesty’s sanctity, we can still engage in reasonable and appropriate business!” "
Therefore, all the high-ranking officials have their own businesses or cultivate their own cronies to help them make money.
After all, a wealthy life is what everyone desires, isn't it?
The two bosses hadn't argued for over ten days, and this time they had just accumulated boundless energy. Just as they were getting more and more into their argument, a rustic-looking old man with a goatee slowly walked out from the inner room.
Upon seeing him, the arguing stopped abruptly.
The eighteen shopkeepers stood up together and respectfully greeted, 'Old Wang.'
They were all seasoned veterans and wouldn't forget the tragic fate of the nouveau riche jeweler who had looked down on this unassuming Mr. Wang years ago. How could someone who could become the leader of the jewelry industry in the capital, a place teeming with hidden talents, be easily trifled with?
But judging from his appearance, this Mr. Wang was not only not scary, but also rather kind and approachable.
At this moment, his face was full of smiles as he politely said, 'Please sit down, everyone! Don't be so formal, we're all family, haha.'" "
In the business world, everyone knows how to exchange pleasantries, so everyone was extremely polite, almost as if they were related to Old Wang.
After the pleasantries, the guests and hosts took their seats.
Wang He didn't waste any time and quickly got to the point: 'Actually, I called you all here today because I have a big deal to introduce to you,'
he paused, pleased to see the eager looks in your eyes, and continued, 'In other words, our chance to make a fortune has arrived!'
'Old Wang, please be clear! Whether we make a fortune or not doesn't matter, we'll listen to you.'
Boss Shen was quick-witted, getting to the point while also flattering him.
'That's right! Old Wang, we'll never forget your kindness!'
Boss Xue chimed in.
'Good, good! It's rare to find someone with such a kind heart.'
Wang He played along, 'Now, come in with me!' " "
After saying this, he took the lead and walked into the inner hall.
Everyone else hurriedly followed. After passing through several doors, Wang He stopped in front of a room with a half-open door: "You must all be wondering why I took so long to show up, right? Actually... I've been spending my time in this room since this morning." "
With that, he smiled mysteriously, piquing everyone's curiosity. Under their intense gazes, he suddenly pushed open the door...

Chapter Six:
A Dazzling Display of Jewels!
Aside from Wang He, no one could believe their eyes.
In this enormous room, thousands of display shelves were densely packed with all sorts of jewels, their glittering light dazzling everyone present.
This immense collection of jewels instantly made the experienced shopkeepers' blood boil. They couldn't help but rush forward, grabbing each piece, admiring and playing with them with obvious delight, while simultaneously, like children, greedily eyeing the jewels not yet in their hands.
Seeing everyone's reaction, Wang He smiled slightly, recalling his own first encounter with these treasures. Wasn't he just like them?
"I say, everyone! Please hear me out!"
Wang He infused his voice with true energy, jolting those lost in their world of jewels awake: "I think it would be best if we went outside to talk."
Although everyone knew Wang He meant to find a quieter place to discuss the business in peace, they still lingered for a while before reluctantly putting down their jewels and leaving this veritable jewelry den. "How can I acquire them? "
The eighteen shopkeepers walking along the corridor all pondered the same question.
Once the eighteen shopkeepers returned to the hall, sat down, drank a cup of strong tea, and their breathing calmed down, Wang He stroked his goatee and said, "This batch of goods was entrusted to me by a client. What do you say, are you interested?"
"Heavens! Old Wang, this…this…"
one shopkeeper blushed, speechless.
"A jade palm pendant for five thousand gold coins… a green jade flower cup for seven thousand gold coins… a hundred-longevity diamond for eleven thousand gold coins…Oh! Old Wang! These treasures add up to hundreds of millions of gold coins!"
The shrewd shopkeeper Xue had already roughly estimated the value of this large room full of jewels and exclaimed in disbelief.
Hearing the words "hundreds of millions of gold coins," the others' bewildered eyes brightened, and after a quick calculation, they all became excited again.
The annual tax revenue of Liufeng Kingdom was only a little over 500 million gold coins; any one of their shops could only earn 200,000 to 300,000 gold coins a year at best.
According to the rules, a 10% profit margin meant that with these jewels, a 10% profit would be 10 million gold coins. If the profit were divided equally, each shop would receive over 500,000, equivalent to two or three years' worth.
Thinking of this, everyone smiled happily.
"Old Wang, just say the word! We'll do whatever you say. I mean, you're the boss, of course, but just give me a little bit," Boss
Shen said hypocritically. As soon as
he finished speaking, the others also chimed in with enthusiastic compliments.
"Old Wang deserves a larger share!"
"Anyone who dares say Brother Wang doesn't deserve a larger share? I'll make them pay!"
"That's right! Old Wang, if anyone dares to object, I'll give them a taste of their own medicine!"
"..."
"Good! Good! Good!"
Wang He smiled and raised his hand, signaling everyone to shut up, then said, "I appreciate the kindness of all the shopkeepers. You can rest assured, I, Wang, will definitely share the money for this batch of jewelry equally with everyone. We should all work together so that everyone can make money, right?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd naturally cheered joyfully again.
The old man was quite good at winning people's hearts, but he didn't say that he originally wanted "Xiang Gu Zhai" to take it all for themselves, but because the seller behind the scenes demanded that nineteen jewelry stores in the capital buy it together, he had to give up.
"Good! Now, let's welcome the owner of these jewels..."
Wang He mysteriously pointed to the curtain beside him. Following his finger, everyone looked over with envy and excitement.
I had assumed it would be a wealthy, elderly man with white hair, but to my surprise, a handsome, even slightly shy, young man emerged.
Having been bored in the room for a long time, I inevitably witnessed their utterly astonished expressions upon seeing my face.
Sigh, according to my own words, when venturing into the world, one should disguise oneself as a fierce and intimidating figure, enough to scare people to death.
But my two future wives, Yunfu and Xiangting, firmly refused, insisting that my true appearance was a perfect disguise, guaranteed to lower everyone's guard.
Under their persuasive influence, I reluctantly agreed, deciding to venture into the world disguised as myself.
Now, seeing their reactions, I couldn't help but feel a little smug, because they indeed showed the expressions I had anticipated.
"Uncle Wang, this young master is..."
After Wang He nodded, everyone immediately began a new round of calculations.
They were thinking about how to lower the price from this inexperienced young man and maximize their profits.
Those with a more ruthless mind were already planning to follow me after the auction, find a quiet alley... and acquire a huge fortune without anyone noticing—how exciting!
Thinking of this, several businessmen from less-than-ideal backgrounds naturally revealed sly smiles.
Wang He was a shrewd old man; how could he not understand their wicked thoughts?
He chuckled inwardly, thinking, "These fools!" He could have simply walked away; given the newcomer's status and martial arts skills, they had absolutely no chance of succeeding, and he'd even be happy for his opponents to suffer a great loss.
But what was this person's status?
If anything happened within his sphere of influence, the Wang family would be implicated.
So he stood up and smiled subtly, "I imagine everyone has heard about the recent rumors circulating in the capital, right?"
He respectfully pointed to me and introduced, "This is His Highness Ren Lanting, the nephew of Empress Ren of the Western Palace of our Liufeng Kingdom."
What?
This was the newly risen, incredibly powerful court official, the legendary, mysterious figure?
Everyone hurriedly stood up, knelt down, and bowed, saying, "
This humble subject greets Lord Lanting, Lord Ren." My status as his nephew didn't appear out of thin air.
The imperial edict stated that I had the reason for visiting Empress Ren's ailing body, and the one who cured her was a highly skilled member of the Ren family who had accompanied me.
Thus, firstly, as a member of the imperial family, and secondly, having rendered a great service by saving the Empress, I was ultimately bestowed the title "Lord Lanting" by Emperor Kangzong, granting me the power to oversee all officials, and a Heavenly Dragon Gold Medal, allowing me to
execute officials below the first rank without prior approval. In the official system of Liufeng Kingdom, the titles of "Duke," "Marquis," "Earl," "Viscount," and "Baron," while prestigious, were merely honors, only having real effect when linked to official rank and authority.
Retired officials, though holding high positions, lacked real power, and their words carried little weight.
But if these nobles were still in office and held real power, their words were worth a thousand pieces of gold.
Now, I, the "Lord of Lanting," who holds the power to oversee all officialdom in the land, am a powerful figure who controls the fate of thousands of officials, large and small, in the Liufeng Kingdom.
"I can execute any official below the first rank without prior approval ." In other words, aside from the six ministers, the two prime ministers, the three grand marshals, the dozen or so dukes, the princes in the palace, and the emperor, I can execute any official I want.
Not to mention ordinary people. When Kangzong explained this authority to me, he said, "With these powers, Liu Ri can walk all over the Liufeng Kingdom with impunity!"
Walk all over the kingdom?
I won't, but Young Master Ri can make those he doesn't like crawl on their knees!
Those scheming shopkeepers, as they knelt, felt a chill run down their spines.
They thought how fortunate it was that Wang He had warned them beforehand, otherwise they would have been in deep trouble. Not only would their entire families be implicated, but their bosses behind the scenes would also die without a burial place.
In the Liufeng Kingdom, the crime of murdering a state official is second only to treason, punishable by the execution of nine generations of relatives, and the execution is always by dismemberment in the marketplace.
This punishment, of course, had little deterrent effect on the vagrants and bandits of Wushuang County who frequently attacked my father, but it was incredibly powerful against these wealthy, powerful, and influential businessmen.
I calmly waved my hand: "Get up!"
After they stood up, I continued: "You probably can't completely believe what Old Wang says, can you? Look at this!"
I pulled out a palm-sized, gleaming gold plaque from my pocket, engraved with a majestic celestial dragon.
Upon seeing it, the last trace of doubt in everyone's hearts vanished immediately, and their straightened legs bent again. This time, even Wang He knelt down: "Long live the Emperor!"
On the back of the gold plaque were the four large characters "As if the Emperor were present," and the object of their kneeling was now Emperor Kangzong. Except for a few individuals, no one in Liufeng Kingdom dared not kneel.
I put away the gold medal and sat down beside him. "Get up, everyone! Elder Wang, we can begin now!"
"Yes!"
Wang He got up and, after instructing the servants, said to his colleagues, "As per His Highness Lanting's wishes, all these treasures will be auctioned off through bidding, with the highest bidder winning!"
Soon, servants brought the jewels, boxed one by one, into the room, and the bidding began. Someone
asked me, "If you're going to auction it this way, why bother arranging the jewels on shelves? Wouldn't it be easier to just put them in boxes and sell them directly?"
Heh heh, what do you know? Taking them out one by one from their boxes can't compare to displaying them all at once, creating a powerful visual impact.
And why create that impact? Heh heh, it's a secret, a secret, I can't tell.
"Ten thousand gold coins!"
"Eleven thousand gold coins!"
"I bid twelve thousand!"
The managers, back in their seats, carefully examined the quality of the jewels while enthusiastically bidding.
Those accompanying them were utterly bewildered, only to see the three head managers continuously and passionately bidding, buying up many jewels at high prices, even exceeding the allotted price.
The shopkeeper, who had a good relationship with Boss Shen, took the opportunity to ask him, "Brother Shen, why are you bidding like that? There's hardly any profit left, and it's not like you at all!"
"Fifteen thousand!"
Boss Shen, continuing his bidding, smiled mysteriously. "Brother, you don't understand. This Lord Lanting is a rising star in the court! How can we not spend a little money to get to know him? You know, such opportunities don't come around often. Once this opportunity is over, it will be difficult for you to see him. At that time, even if you want to give him money, you won't find a place to do so! Besides..."
He lowered his voice slyly, "The money we spend is considered official business, and we can get it back from the higher-ups. It's reimbursable money, so why be stingy? When the people behind you reimburse your expenses, they won't say anything; they'll definitely praise you highly! It's a win-win situation, so why not?"
"Oh!"
The man suddenly realized. He was quick-witted too, and immediately raised his hand and shouted, "Twenty thousand gold coins!"
He eagerly joined the bidding.
The shopkeeper, who was on good terms with him, then asked him, and he told him the answer directly.
Nearby, the Wang and Xue families also received hints, and after a few whispers, everyone started bidding without reservation.
It's not like they're using their own money, so why worry about the cost?
I, of course, heard these words and shook my head inwardly: "Damn it, these merchants are really shrewd!"
But since they liked to flatter me, I should play along.
When someone bought jewelry at an inflated price, I cast admiring glances at him, nodding occasionally and mentioning their names: "Boss Lu, you're really generous!"
Encouraged, the crowd bid even higher, each one acting like they were fighting for their lives.
I took half of the jewelry left over from the last auction, which my master had left behind, and put it up for auction.
Yunfu and Xiangting were valued at around 100 million, but they managed to auction them off for a staggering 150 million gold coins.
Afterwards, these jewelry store owners treated me like their own father, as if I had given them money, not earned it from them.
Young Master Ri, his pockets overflowing with silver notes, sat excitedly in his sedan chair on the way back to the Left Prime Minister's residence, recalling his previous achievements while pondering other matters.
Now, it was time to proceed with the second part of my plan to conquer the martial world!

Chapter Seven: Setting Up a Trap in the Streets,
Part Three. Early in the morning, I gathered my men and headed to the streets of the capital.
I was accompanied entirely by palace guards, all carefully selected and absolutely loyal.
In their eyes, I was certainly qualified to appear as "Lord Lanting," Ren Lanting.
Before we left today, Empress Ren had solemnly instructed them to protect her nephew. The guards, brimming with enthusiasm, naturally patted their chests and guaranteed not to let anyone harm a hair on my head.
As for my two most trusted attendants, Little Turtle and Little Bird, I had sent them back to Wushuang a few days ago. Before leaving, they cried and refused to go.
Fortunately, I, the young master, invoked the title of "The Five Rampage Demonesses of the Liu Family," saying that if they didn't return soon, they would be furious.
Upon hearing this, the two rascals didn't even have time to wipe their tears before they swiftly mounted their Ferghana horses and galloped towards Tuyi County...
"Truly 'leaving no trace'!"
I said, shaking my head as I watched the billowing dust.
The capital city seemed like a bustling marketplace every day, teeming with people.
I walked alone through the streets, marveling at the vastness of the capital's territory while searching for my prey for the day.
The imperial guards, because of my orders, had already scattered around me, providing covert protection.
Although I said they weren't allowed to act without my orders, but... just now, someone who tried to cross over to greet the person opposite me had barely raised his hand behind me when several burly men quickly tackled him, dragged him aside for interrogation and torture, scaring his acquaintance across from me so much that he wet himself on the spot.
I didn't want to deal with any of that; my mind was entirely focused on today's plan.
As time passed, I still hadn't found my target, and I couldn't help but feel anxious. So engrossed in my thoughts, I didn't even notice the many beautiful women passing by.
Suddenly, someone lightly pinched my buttocks with two fingers. Startled, I instinctively released my inner energy from my buttocks, and
with a "thump!" I heard several people cry out in pain.
I turned around quickly and saw a well-dressed, muscular young man lying on top of several servant-like figures, staring at me in astonishment.
Before I could react, he scrambled to his feet, approached me, and began scrutinizing me with a peculiar look, making clicking sounds as he did so.
The palace guards nearby, witnessing this, inwardly groaned. They
had assumed this man, with his imposing appearance and entourage, was harmless and hadn't noticed his deliberate approach to "Lord Lanting" in the crowd, and his subsequent actions.
Remembering how they had assured the Empress of "Lord Lanting's" safety that morning…
their faces flushed red, and they glared at the young man with murderous intent, ready to react in anger, when I gave them a signal that stopped them in their tracks.
Since I had gestured to the guards not to rush forward as I turned, I had ample time to observe him.
Hmm? This guy's gaze reminds me of Ma Xiaohua's when he harasses women.
Could it be…?
I glanced at the servants behind him; they were also looking at me with a half-smile—and I suddenly remembered the legendary kind of person!
Damn it, I'd actually met a "husband" who liked men's buttocks! This conclusion made me both laugh and cry.
First, I hadn't expected the trouble I'd been so eager to find to come knocking on my door when I was at my wit's end; second, I'd hoped for something easier, but this was such a difficult one. Judging from the way he looked at me, he seemed intent on devouring me alive.
I knew that it wasn't just many gentlemen in Wushuang County who kept a few "rabbit babies" (sex slaves); I'd heard that in some parts of the mainland, handsome young slaves were more expensive than slutty women.
But I didn't know anyone with this fetish, so it felt a bit unfamiliar.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly resent my two future wives who insisted I walk in my true form.
Tch!
What "absolute lethality"—it certainly had enough lethality, but it was misplaced.
All these thoughts flashed through my mind, and I, whose masculinity had been insulted, sneered inwardly—kid, I don't know if it's your bad luck or mine!
After making a "tsk tsk" sound, the guy also made his move, reaching for my face with one hand.
Suppressing the urge to vomit, I pretended to be scared and took two steps back, dodging his advances, and said in a frightened manner, "You... what are you going to do?"
Seeing me dodge, he immediately assumed my fall was an accident, relaxed, and said with a smile, "Kid, I think you're quite pleasing to the eye, come with me for a drink at a brothel!"
Damn it, I thought after drinking at the brothel we'd go to bed and build rapport, right?
But even an act has to be played out completely, so I said timidly, "I...I don't want to go! My mother told me to go home early."
"Go home what? From now on, you'll be living the high life with me!"
The young master grinned wickedly and tried to pull me away again, but I dodged him.
By this time, because of our tug-of-war, a crowd of onlookers had gathered around. They whispered among themselves, but dared not speak up.
The guards who dared to speak up, however, could only clench their fists, their eyes wide, and vowed that when His Highness Lanting gave the order, they would beat him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.
From the reactions of the people around me, I knew that this young master was Xi Chao, the son of the Left Guard Commander of the City Patrol, who had a lot of bad reputation in the capital. Others abducted women, but he abducted both men and women.
Damn! Isn't that making him a bandit?
However, the people who were talking only dared to talk, which made me sigh that the people in the capital were really more pragmatic than people in other places, so good at protecting themselves.
I lowered my head to receive the information around me, but Xi Chao interpreted it as me being shy: "Little darling, once you've tasted the young master's flavor, I guarantee you'll be in heaven!"
With that, he boldly reached out and grabbed me, trying to pull me into his arms.
Enough, I can't keep up this act!
I broke out in goosebumps all over my body. I quickly reached out and pressed an acupoint on his wrist, then simultaneously pressed a numb acupoint, rendering him immobile.
I then called over the guards who had been holding back, instructing them to handle the situation as they saw fit, and rushed to a corner
to vomit.
Tch!
This young master Xi is really something; he actually forced the almost invulnerable young master like me to this point. What a "talent"!
When I returned after vomiting, I saw that the crowd hadn't decreased, but rather increased.
Hmm? Still not done?
I cut in line to take a look and was stunned.
Wow!
"You...you captured these monsters? Where is that person?"
What I saw were several things that didn't resemble pigs, nor half-horses, nor horses, and definitely not humans...Why is Half-Horse-Face doing business so early? Isn't it still before nightfall?
"Reporting to the young master, they are the bastards who molested you earlier!"
the guards said through gritted teeth. "Should we kill them all?"
Before I could speak, a vicious voice came from the side: "Which bastard has such a big mouth, daring to kill my son?"
Then a group of soldiers in city guard uniforms drove away the onlookers, forming a large circle around us, surrounding dozens of people.
The driven-away crowd didn't disperse; instead, they formed an even larger circle around the soldiers. Even worse, some people who lived nearby ran home, brought out stools, and sat down, as if watching a play...well, they really were watching a play.
Appearing in the center of the city guard was a middle-aged man with a white face, no beard, and a murderous aura, dressed in the uniform of a third-rank military officer.
With a slight wave of my hand, I once again promptly stopped the guards from retaliating with insults.
These fellows had always served the supreme emperor and his family of Liufeng Kingdom. In their hearts, let alone a mere third-rank military officer, they didn't even consider the high-ranking officials of the court worthy of their attention.
Now, with the Empress's own nephew beside them, being humiliated on their own turf made them feel as if their own mothers had been bullied.
If they weren't waiting for Prince Lanting's orders, they would have already wanted to tear those brats to pieces.
Now, seeing a mere third-rank military officer swaggering around, their anger was even more intense. Just as they were about to teach him a lesson, Prince Lanting stopped them, leaving them utterly bewildered, but they could only obey orders and wait aside.
Seeing their indignant yet confused expressions, I sighed inwardly. How could these hot-blooded youths understand my brilliant plan?
If I revealed my identity now, how could I properly carry out my plan?
Originally, I planned to make an example of Xi Chao, but after overhearing the people discussing how Xi Youde, the Left Military Commander of the Capital Patrol, who was backed by Right Chancellor Wu Siguo, was several times worse than his son, I immediately changed my mind and decided to take down this big tiger!
However, how to take down this big tiger depends on how I set a trap!
"Who are you, daring to cause trouble under the emperor's nose? Do you have any respect for the law?"
Xi Youde shouted, slapping a huge accusation on him, and then quickly ordered, "Guards! Arrest them all and take them to the government office for interrogation!"
As expected of a veteran official, seeing the situation was unfavorable to his son, he hurriedly tried to suppress them with his official power, seemingly giving both sides equal punishment and taking them back for interrogation.
But in reality, once they were in his government office, he would decide right and wrong. There, he could insist that the young master of the Liu family was a promiscuous woman who had forcibly molested his son, and no one would dare to disagree.
"Hmph, too bad you've run into me, Liu Ri, a hot-blooded young man who fears neither power nor death, and whose only desire
is justice." I straightened my face and said loudly, "May I ask, Your Honor, what crime have I committed? Why are we being taken to the government office?"
Beneath my righteous indignation, a hint of fear in my eyes inadvertently slipped through my fingers, which, unfortunately, was spotted by the astute Lord Xi.
Xi Youde was no fool; his eyes darted around, and he tentatively said, "As the patrol commander responsible for protecting the capital, I naturally bear responsibility for this street fight. Before the matter is clarified, both parties must come to the yamen to settle things!"
I smiled and said, "What if I don't want to go?"
My words were light, but the subtle clenching of my hands was again noticed by the clever Lord Xi.
He was already somewhat puzzled by the presence of so many seemingly skilled guards surrounding me.
After all, this was the capital city, and there were many people with higher positions and greater power than him. Therefore, he planned to take the man back to his headquarters of the Left Guard Commandery to find out the situation first.
If it was someone he couldn't afford to offend, then he would let it go peacefully.
If it was just an ordinary wealthy merchant's son, that would be even easier; he could frame him for a crime, have his entire family executed, and confiscate all his property.
This two-pronged approach would ensure he wouldn't suffer any losses.
Inspector Xi's thinking was entirely correct, but I, young master, had already anticipated his scheme.
Under the trap I had deliberately set, he concluded that I was merely a wealthy young master with a few coins.
Therefore, he decided to abandon the pretense and unleashed his official power: "How dare you! A mere commoner dares to disobey an official's order! According to my established laws, he shall be severely punished with thirty strokes of the cane in the street!"
His voice boomed, "Men, come down here! Slap him twenty times and then give him thirty more strokes of the cane!" "
Xi Chao, who was beaten beyond recognition, breathed a sigh of relief when his father arrived. His savior had finally come.
While several military doctors were applying medicine to his wounds, he couldn't help but glance at the boy who had beaten him.
Wow! Perfect figure, handsome face, shy yet stubborn demeanor, judging from his appearance, this must be his first time in this area... Tsk tsk, a real gem! A real gem!
As he looked at him, he fantasized about this boy becoming his captive... Xi Chao smiled smugly.
Luckily, I didn't know his thoughts, otherwise I would have killed this trash with one blow.
The military doctors applying medicine to him, seeing that the young master Xi was beaten like a pig's head yet still able to laugh, secretly shook their heads: If this kind of scum were beaten into a madness like this, it would truly be a great joy for the people of the capital.
Just as Xi Chao was lost in his fantasies, he heard his father ordering people to beat his future darling, and he panicked: Father, don't hit him, don't hit him!" "
His shout stunned not only Xi Youde and me, but also the soldiers, guards, and even the onlookers: Had this man been beaten senseless?
Hearing his precious son's cry, Commander Xi stopped his men who were about to attack: 'Son, what's wrong? Your father is helping you get revenge!'
'I don't need your help! Don't hurt my darling...'
Xi Chao stood up, staggered to my side, and struck what he thought was a very dashing pose, 'Baby, I don't blame you. As long as you obediently come home with me to enjoy life, I'll ask my father not to make things difficult for you!'
Everyone, including me, then realized the purpose of his 'Don't hit' shout.
Although I wanted to make a big scene, but... but you don't have to give me this opportunity, do you?
Before his hand could touch me, I stepped back again, dodging him: 'Sir, are you just going to let your son harass an innocent young man in the street? Do you even deserve to be our magistrate?'" "
Commander Xi was already furious at his son's public humiliation, and now, provoked by me, he fell into my trap and blurted out, 'Do you think I need you to tell me how to be an official? Men, beat this bastard to death!'

Chapter Eight: A Great Satisfaction for the People
'Stop!'
I channeled my inner energy, stopping the soldiers rushing towards me. 'Sir, if I heard correctly, you called yourself 'I' and called me 'bastard,' is that right?'
Because I also sent a burst of true energy into Xi Youde's ear, making his eardrums and even his head feel dizzy, he cursed again without thinking, 'Damn it, I called you a little bastard, a little scum, what are you going to do about it? Get him, cripple him!'
If I knew that this Commander Xi was originally a waiter, and only rose to prominence because his sister became the eighth concubine of Right Chancellor Wu Siguo, I wouldn't be surprised by his character!
'Alright, I won't do anything to you!'"
I clapped my hands, retreated among the palace guards, and casually tossed something from my bosom to Zhang He, the head of the guards responsible for protecting me today—the deputy chief of the Imperial Guards: "Thank you, brother guard, please handle this on my behalf!" Zhang He, already
furious, took the item and exclaimed with delight, "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness! I will certainly not disappoint!"
He swiftly punched Xi Chao and several soldiers to the ground with his left and right fists, venting his anger briefly, then raised the item high and shouted, "Everyone kneel down and respectfully receive the Heavenly Dragon Gold Token!"
Zhang He's shout stunned the remaining soldiers who were about to rush forward to arrest us, along with their superior, Xi Youde. "What? The Heavenly Dragon Gold Token?"
"Ah! Look! It's the Heavenly Dragon Gold Token!" "
Quick! Quick! Kneel down! Disrespecting the Emperor is punishable by the extermination of nine generations of your family!" "
Not only the soldiers, but also the civilians watching from outside all knelt down. They all looked in awe at the gleaming Heavenly Dragon Gold Token in Zhang He's hand, not daring to make the slightest move.
Thus, apart from our people, only the lone, trembling, and sweat-drenched Grand Commandant Xi Youde of the Left Guard of the Capital City remained kneeling.
Under the bright sun, this once imposing third-rank official was now drenched in cold sweat: 'You...you...who exactly are you?'"
He knew that anyone possessing this Heavenly Dragon Gold Token had the power to kill him. Besides, he had heard that the Emperor had recently bestowed this token upon the Empress's nephew—the "Lord of Lanting, "
who held the power to oversee all officials below the first rank and could execute them without prior approval. "Lanting…Your Highness, this humble servant…this humble servant is a man of Right Chancellor Wu…"
he stammered, hoping this newly rich man would spare him out of respect for the powerful Right Chancellor.
"What audacity!"
Zhang He slowly walked up to him, kicked him to the ground, and roared, "You have offended His Highness! You have committed a capital offense! Even if the Right Chancellor himself came, I, Zhang, would still execute you!" "
He probably felt it wasn't enough to vent his anger, so he kicked Xi Youde's buttocks several more times, the force so strong that the pampered official fainted.
Unexpectedly, these kicks drew thunderous cheers from the onlookers. They had also deduced from the Heavenly Dragon Gold Medal that Lord Xi's days were numbered, and in that instant, their pent-up anger erupted: 'Well done, sir! Kick harder, sir!'
Zhang He, somewhat smug from the crowd's praise, responded to the crowd's demands and, after kicking Xi Youde repeatedly, summoned the guards to tie him, Xi Chao, and their servants up.
'Wait!'
Just as they were about to escort the Xi family father and son to the Imperial Prison, I stepped forward and stopped them.
Now it was my turn to perform.
'Fellow villagers, you have suffered greatly!'
I said earnestly to the thousand or so people around me, 'The court has not done a good enough job of thoroughly investigating and severely punishing these corrupt officials who are turning a blind eye to the problem. I'm sorry !'" "
After a few words, they saw my eyes redden. Moved and speechless, they too shed tears of emotion.
I continued to circulate my energy, drawing blood to my eyes, and said with satisfaction, 'Now, I, by the decree of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of our Liufeng Kingdom, announce the verdict against the Xi family father and son!'
My voice turned cold and stern: 'Such a vicious father and son, according to the laws of Liufeng, should be hanged… However, considering the oppression our fellow villagers have suffered at their hands, I hereby grant you special permission to execute them, to quell the hatred in everyone's hearts. Is that acceptable?'
These words received an incredibly enthusiastic response: 'Long live Your Highness! Long live the Emperor!' " "...
Seeing such a commotion, I was extremely pleased with myself.
Hehe! Just kidding, since I was ten years old, I've been standing in front of the county government office, inciting the people to serve the Liu family's cause. Of course, my silver tongue has been honed to an extraordinary level!
However, after only a few shouts, the once enthusiastic crowd receded like a tide, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Oh no! Your Highness, run!"
Zhang He and his guards reacted quickly, pulling me along as we ran forward.
We hadn't gone far when we heard a deafening roar. I turned around and saw thousands of people rushing out of their homes, armed with cleavers, wooden sticks, benches, and various other weapons.
The crowd surged towards the Xi family father and son and their servants. Not only that, but even the hundreds of disarmed soldiers kneeling on the ground who hadn't managed to escape were quickly overwhelmed by the horde.
"That was close! That was close!"
the guards gasped for breath as they made it out of danger.
I asked what had happened, and Zhang He explained, "A similar situation occurred last time. The result was that not only were the thirty-five bandits being executed trampled into mincemeat, but countless yamen runners maintaining order were also trampled to death. Luckily, we reacted quickly this time, otherwise…"
Oh! It seems being too good at inciting the masses is a problem!
Looking with compassion at the distant screams, I said, "Lord Zhang, please write down the titles of martyrs for those soldiers and instruct the Ministry of Personnel to treat their families well!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Also, tomorrow I will petition the Emperor to allow you guards who accompanied me today to confiscate their property! Do a good job!"
"Yes! Thank you for your reward, Your Highness!"
Everyone was intelligent enough that the words didn't need to be so explicit.
No sooner had this matter been settled than, on the third day, I arrived at the Ministry of Revenue's office, carrying the 150 million gold coins I had obtained from the jewelry auction a few days prior.
I summoned the four departments—the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Gold, and the Ministry of Granaries—and instructed them to distribute the 150 million gold coins, in my capacity as "Lord Lanting," to the five western prefectures of the empire that had just suffered from floods. The officials of the four departments, who were
racking their brains over the medical care, food, housing reconstruction, and land compensation for millions of people, were utterly astonished to see a super-rich tycoon suddenly appear before them, treating me like a god.
They uttered no less than ten thousand phrases throughout the morning praising me with terms like "brilliant and mighty," "naturally wise," and "loves the people like his own children." I was bombarded with such praise that I practically crawled out of the Ministry of Revenue office at noon.
By the time I left, Young Master Liu had already completed the first three steps in his conquest of the martial arts world: selling jewelry to display his wealth, punishing evil to demonstrate benevolence, and aiding disaster victims to show compassion.
In the following days, these three actions caused a huge sensation in the capital, no less than the assassination of the Minister of War a while back.
Not only did the high-ranking officials express great interest and envy in my wealth, but the common people of the capital also spread rumors that I was a celestial being sent down to help the people.
Whether I am a celestial being or not, I don't know, but does a celestial being feel as happy as I am now? As the Tyrannosaurus Rex Spear rapidly thrust into the bodies of several beautiful maids under Yun Fu's command, eliciting lewd cries, I had this question in mind.
Originally, I disagreed, but my future wife felt that holding back for too long wouldn't be good for my health, so she insisted on giving me several of her personal maids.
Of course, I initially refused, but Yunfu's words, "Anyway, they won't be family members in the future, so what's the difference between accepting them now and later?"
made me stop arguing. "Ahem, my dear wife, you said it yourself, don't blame your husband for being fickle again!"
As I mentioned before, women in various parts of the continent have little status. In slightly larger families, when a daughter marries, several maids accompany her as concubines.
When Wenwen married, she had more than twenty maids with her, but at that time, my mind was on Yuan'er and Wenwen, plus so many other things that suddenly happened, so I didn't have time to enjoy the beautiful young girls.
Not to mention our only princess of Liufeng Kingdom, I heard from Eunuch Rui the other day that the princess has more than a hundred maids!
If I were to take over the emperor's father-in-law's position again, hehehe...
However, these beauties are only for playing around. To obtain beauties like the ones at home, I'd have to work hard to find them myself.
That being said, when I saw the beautiful maids Yunfu sent, I was still quite shocked!
These seven beautiful palace maids were not only stunningly beautiful and had exceptional figures, but they were also of outstanding character. I was so happy that I immediately pinned them down on the bed and began to have my way with them.
In a day and night of intense battle, the valiant young master ejaculated all his stored semen, and the maids also experienced multiple orgasms.
When I got up, satisfied, they were already passed out from pleasure on the bed.
These beauties had received special training; otherwise, given their initial experience of being deflowered, they could not have endured my twelve hours of brutal torment. No wonder Yunfu casually said, "Take your time with them!"
When I walked to Yunfu's room, refreshed, I was pleasantly surprised to see Xiangting, whom I hadn't seen for several days.
Yunfu, who had been happily whispering among herself, smiled mysteriously at me upon seeing me.
I assumed she was hinting at my battle with the palace maids, but unexpectedly, Xiangting had also seen it. With a soft "whimper," she threw herself into my arms, shyly whimpering, "Brother... Sister Fu... she laughed at me!"
Her voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.
"Hmm? What does this have to do with my Xiangting?"
I gently patted the beauty's shoulder, asking in confusion.
"Um, brother..."
For some reason, the beauty's delicate face grew increasingly red, and her charming body trembled slightly.
"Let me speak for you!"
Yunfu, sitting on the table, walked over with a smile, comfortably leaning on my other shoulder, her eyes filled with seductive allure, and said, "You little rascal, my sweet Xiangting wants to give you a little baby before you leave the capital!"
Upon hearing this, Xiangting immediately trembled, collapsing into my arms, a surge of heat rising within her.
Ah?
I excitedly called out, "Tingting, do you want your brother to marry you right now?"
"Oh, please... I... I just want a... baby!"
No matter how docile and gentle she usually was, she now had a touch of coquettishness mixed with shyness.
"Okay! Okay! Brother will give you a baby!"
I grinned. I originally thought I could only pick these two flowers after completing a difficult task, but I didn't expect such a big surprise before I even set off.
So I didn't hold back and found Xiangting's sweet mouth to suckle until she was almost out of breath.
I glanced over and saw Yunfu watching from the side, still smiling, but there was an inevitable trace of melancholy in her eyes.
I quickly guessed the reason, and forcefully pulled her into my arms, kissing her again without caring about anything else. At first, the princess beauty
resisted with "Oh... Mmm...", but under my powerful offensive, in no time, her initially resistant hands tightly gripped my clothes.
Our lips parted, and I teased the panting princess, "My darling Fu'er, look how well-behaved our Tingting is. When will you be like her and give your husband a chubby little boy?"
Hearing my words, the beauty first glared at me, then seemed to remember something, her face flushing red, her eyes becoming misty as she looked at me. "Mmm..." she murmured, collapsing
into my arms. "Little brother, if you... like... I'll give you a whole bunch of... babies..."
"How can that be?"
I solemnly lifted her jade-like head. "Liu Ri must do as agreed with the Emperor. I will give you all the martial arts in the world as a betrothal gift! Until then, even if I have to endure a thousand times more, Liu Ri must preserve your chastity!"
When the stunning beauty heard me say no, her face turned pale instantly, but her complexion gradually improved as she listened, until finally her eyes shone as she looked at me.
She was probably worried about the same thing as me.
If I took her virginity before fulfilling my promise, the experienced members of the royal family would definitely notice. Then, the princess, who was already engaged, would face severe criticism and difficulties from her elders, and even Emperor Kangzong wouldn't be able to help her.
The final outcome would definitely be Princess Yongyue being imprisoned in the deep palace, and I, the young master who took her chastity, would not only have my entire family executed, but I would also receive the "dismemberment by six horses" treatment befitting a state guest—in short, it would be utterly miserable!
Therefore, even though the beautiful princess longed to give her virginity to her beloved as soon as possible, she had to restrain herself to avoid bringing trouble upon him.
My words struck a chord with the princess, making her feel that her chosen husband was truly unparalleled!
Yunfu also greatly admired my understanding and felt that she and her beloved were kindred spirits… truly, what more could one ask for in life than such a husband?
Not only her, but Xiangting, who had been tenderly cuddling in my arms, also raised her chin, gazing at me with burning eyes, seemingly eager to immediately engage in passionate lovemaking with Young Master Ri!
