When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

It's no wonder, Jiang Huai's family has been generals for three generations, but his father Jiang Zhen was involved in a corruption case and was sentenced to exile by the current emperor.

Jiang Huai disappeared in Kyoto not long after. It turned out that he was hidden away for military training.

King Dongshan shook his head, Jianghuai---what a pity!

He was young and promising, and should have been a rising star like Xiao Jingxing, but due to his greedy father's influence, this rising star of the Jiang family fell.

This is how things are in this world. Just because you have talent doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll have the opportunity to serve the court.

Sometimes you just can’t get ahead if you’re just unlucky!

The atmosphere in the silver shop was heavy. Although the guards were troubled by the large number of enemies this time, they remained orderly.

They acted quickly, operated the mechanisms skillfully, and adjusted the settings flexibly, demonstrating a high degree of professionalism and tacit understanding.

They hung their swords on their waists, held bows and arrows, quickly occupied advantageous positions, and prepared for battle. Each of them showed determination and courage on their faces.

These guards moved skillfully and coordinated well, and seemed to have long been accustomed to this tense combat environment.

They united closely together and formed an indestructible line of defense.

This gave the merchants hiding here a little psychological comfort, at least these guards had never given up on them.

One of the merchants, not knowing whether he was moved by the fact that the guards still held on to the silver building despite the huge disparity in numbers between the enemy and us, or in order to further encourage the guards to fight back, shouted:

"I am Ma Yongfu from Suzhou. As long as you can hold on to the silver shop, I will voluntarily contribute two hundred taels of silver to help you sharpen your swords!"

Wow! I've heard of people paying for writing, but this is the first time I've heard of people paying for cutting.

The guards' nervous mood was amused by his words.

"Haha... knife lubrication fee, this is the first time I've heard of it." The guards also joked.

"Thank you! Thank you! We will do our best even if you don't pay us. This is our job." A guard replied generously.

Because these guards are dressed alike, it is difficult to tell who is the captain of the guard team.

It seemed that each of these guards had their own clear division of labor, and there had been no sense of chaos since the start of the battle, and they had always appeared very calm.

When other customers heard this, they were inspired and also wanted to pay for the knife.

"I'm Nanpu Liu Siqiang. I'm willing to pay three hundred taels to help my brothers with their swords." Nowadays, you have to give some benefits to the gatekeepers before they are willing to work hard. How can you not give some money to show your appreciation if you want these guards to risk their lives?

The merchants’ expressions were very direct. Just give some silver as a token of gratitude!

"Jiangbei Han Yiga is willing to pay three hundred taels!"

"Zhang Li of Fenzhou is willing to pay five hundred taels!" He is a wealthy man and very generous. At this moment, money is not as important as life!

……

At one time, if the silver paid by the merchants was added up, it would have amounted to several thousand taels!

The guards listened happily, but their eyes were fixed outside and they did not dare to relax at all.

Some people here contribute money, some people contribute manpower, and the atmosphere is at least very harmonious.

Those people on the other side are in a very miserable situation.

Seeing so many of their brothers dying on the ground in front of them, and now they are about to follow in their footsteps, they must be feeling very depressed.

Jiang Huai felt bad too, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, a small soldier suddenly asked: "Why do we have to attack the silver shop? Are we bandits?"

Although they were sent here by various means [some were bought from human traffickers, some were captured, and some were deceived]

But I always thought I was serving in a certain army, and now what they are doing doesn't seem to be what a regular army should do.

But who can answer their questions?

Jiang Huai, the only person present who knew the truth, had no way of telling them the truth because he was also part of the scam and now he dared not utter a word.

Jiang Huai could only say: "We are just following orders." As for whose military order he was following, he was absolutely not allowed to say it out loud.

Jiang Huai was ready to go, and he felt extremely ashamed as he watched them about to die.

He lowered his head, not daring to look into those pairs of lively eyes, and mechanically gave orders:

"The front row of shieldmen will go first, the back row of spearmen will follow closely behind the front row, the middle row will draw their swords and prepare for battle, and the back row will hold the line and prepare to go!"

Both sides are ready, the war is about to begin!

At this moment, the door of the office building slowly opened silently, revealing only a narrow gap.

Then, more than ten members of the security team, armed with various weapons, rushed out from the crack of the door like hungry wolves. They moved quickly and fiercely, rushing towards the enemy like lightning.

These team members are agile and well-trained, and their every move is a deadly one.

The weapons in their hands flashed with cold light, and every swing carried a deadly threat. The private soldiers who were originally ready to fight were caught off guard in an instant and had no power to fight back.

The members of the security team work in harmony and have clear division of labor.

Some are responsible for attracting the enemy's attention, some are responsible for taking advantage of the opportunity to attack, and some are responsible for protecting their companions. They work closely together and support each other.

When the security team members finally broke through the siege, they directly confronted Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai had a calm expression with a barely perceptible smile on his lips. He looked at the situation in front of him quietly, feeling relieved in his heart.

fair enough……

As a general, Jiang Huai should have his own personal soldiers.

But at this moment, he had nothing.

It is a private army, so it is impossible for it to follow the regulations of a regular army. It just looks intimidating.

Faced with the powerful enemy before him, he had to take action himself.

Although the soldiers around him were not comparable to ordinary people and their fighting ability was stronger, they were still vulnerable compared to those martial arts masters who were good at fighting alone.

They were unable to contend with these martial arts masters and could only die in vain.

Therefore, the security team reached Jiang Huai with almost no hindrance. Jiang Huai was the only one with relatively good martial arts, but facing so many members of the security team, he still had no chance of winning.

The security team did not show any martial ethics to Jiang Huai. Relying on their large numbers, they rushed forward and surrounded Jiang Huai.

Several people surrounded him, punching and kicking him without any mercy.

When he was young, Jiang Huai was captured alive by security team members. He was dragged to the ground with a bruised face and swollen nose, unable to move.

These private soldiers around me died one by one, and the people who killed them seemed to have no effort at all. Who would take the initiative to step forward and die?

It seemed that the private soldiers were so obedient that they dared not move again, and the security team did not take the initiative to attack them.

My martial arts skills are too weak and I don’t want to fight with these people.
