The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Inside an estate, a group of people were drinking tea and chatting, enjoying the life of the wealthy.

Startled by the sudden shouts of battle, he immediately lost his appetite for tea.

"Do you know that Jia Daoshi is no ordinary person? The imperial court has mobilized so many troops to deal with him this time!"

"I heard they're the imperial court's Blood Droplets! They're all top-tier fighters! I heard that once the Blood Droplets are deployed, nothing grows! Within a hundred paces, your head will be gone in a snap!"

"That's right, I know that these Blood Droplets always go out to exterminate nine generations of a family. It seems that this time, our Yilan County will be devastated and rivers of blood will flow!"

The people chatting were all wealthy and influential families in Yilan County. They happened to be having a small get-together today, and when the topic came up, they all shook their heads and sighed.

Regardless of the circumstances, such a large-scale disturbance in Yilan County will more or less affect their businesses.

"That's what they say, but if the Flying Guillotine were to face Jia Daoshi, it's really hard to say!"

Just when everyone was pessimistic about Jiajiazhuang, a different voice suddenly rang out.

"Hmm? Chief Jiao? Are you implying something? Is there some big secret about Jia Family Village?"

Upon hearing this, everyone who had been discussing the matter turned around and looked at the old man who had spoken!

Their eyes were filled with a strong desire to watch the drama unfold.

This old man was none other than Jiao Xie, the leader of the Hundred Flowers Gang, also known as the Deadly Blade.

Just last year, he was a very important figure in Yilan County!

"Stop! I'll say it again, the Hundred Flowers Gang is history! There is no more Hundred Flowers Gang in the martial world, and I am no longer the Deadly Blade, nor the gang leader!"

Jiao Xie's tone and expression were very serious and earnest.

"Old Jiao, look how nervous you are. It's just a friendly greeting among ourselves, what's the big deal?"

An old man chuckled.

"Old Zhou, listen up! I said you can't shout, and that means you can't shout. The Hundred Flowers Gang is gone, understand?"

Jiao Xie repeated it very seriously, his expression beginning to turn somewhat unpleasant.

Although in the martial arts world, the Hundred Flowers Gang is just a small sect, and Chief Jiao is only a nobody.

However, in Yilan County, Jiao Xie still held a very high position. Seeing that he had put on such an attitude and said such things, even if the people around him disagreed in their hearts, they still had to obey him on the surface.

As for why Jiao Xie is so averse to the title of "Chief Jiao," it can only be said that our old Chief Jiao has a hard life!

Now, the title of gang leader has become a shadow in his heart.

Only he himself understands this pain!

"If Lao Jiao says not to mention it, then we'll listen to Lao Jiao. Besides, I also feel that calling him Lao Jiao is more endearing."

"By the way, where were we?"

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, an old man stepped forward, chuckled, and changed the subject.

Soon, everyone's attention was diverted back to the once-in-a-century conflict outside.

Of course, simply engaging in empty chatter would clearly not satisfy the appetites of these retired tycoons.

Soon, someone opened a betting line.

"Old Jiao, judging from your words, you seem to have a high opinion of Jia Daoshi, right? How about we make a bet?"

Old Zhou seemed eager to try.

"Oh? How do we play?" Jiao Xie was not intimidated by the provocation.

In addition, everyone around gathered around.

Old Zhou laughed heartily: "That's easy! If you think the imperial court will win, bet on the imperial court. If you think Jiajiazhuang can weather this crisis, bet on Jiajiazhuang. The minimum bet is one hundred taels of silver. The winner will treat everyone to a trip to Yilan County tonight to find some girls and have some fun!"

“That’s a good idea!”

"I'll join!"

A group of elderly people around them became interested.

Jiao Xie naturally had no objections.

Everyone else put their silver notes with the imperial court.

Only Jiao Xie, after pulling out a stack of silver notes from his pocket, placed them directly on the character "Jia" representing Jia Family Village without thinking!

A full three thousand taels!

Old Zhou frowned. He couldn't understand what Old Jiao was thinking!

The imperial court has mobilized a large army; surely they can't take down a mere Jiajiazhuang?

Are you kidding me?

But he couldn't be bothered to care, since it wasn't his money that was being lost.

Jiao Xie felt disdainful at the confident looks he received from those around him.

Although he has retired from the martial arts world, he still cares a great deal about news from it!

He knew perfectly well what Jia Daoshi had done to wreak havoc in Nanjing and Jiangnan a while ago!

How could such a formidable figure be dealt with by ordinary soldiers of the imperial court?

After placing their bets, everyone became bolder!

He secretly opened a side gate of the manor and carefully slipped out.

Then they quietly crept up to a relatively high hillside nearby, and one by one they lay down on the ground to look!

His agile movements were so impressive that even young men would be impressed!

This hilltop is a place they often come to camp and have outdoor games, so they are quite familiar with it.

I had just hidden behind the rock when I was startled by the scene before me!

The imperial army, like a black mudslide, surged toward Jia Daoshi's manor!

But strangely, just as this mudslide was about to reach Jiajiazhuang, people and horses suddenly fell off their horses!

After the first cavalryman fell from his horse, the men and horses behind him were moving at such a speed that they couldn't avoid him and crashed into him!

As a result, the black mudslide stopped abruptly at this place, as if it had encountered an invisible barrier, and quickly turned into a huge black "pool" on the spot!

The men behind, seeing the carnage ahead, were so frightened that they immediately turned their horses around and fled!

Some soldiers who blocked the way without knowing why were even killed by deserters!

This left the few old men who were perched on the hilltop watching this scene from afar completely dumbfounded!

Isn't this a flying guillotine?

Isn't this a terrifying force within the imperial court?

How come they all collapsed before they even reached the manor?

There were even their own people killing each other?

This is absolutely outrageous!

If things continue like this, what's the point of gambling?

Why not just stuff the silver into Lao Jiao's arms?

Old Jiao, the gang leader, sneered inwardly. This was the experience he gained in the martial world at the cost of the entire Hundred Flowers Gang. How could you old codgers possibly understand!

At this moment, the person who is most depressed is Xia Jingtian!

He never dreamed that his men would be shot dead before they even reached within eighty meters of the manor!

Moreover, the way this shooting occurred was extremely bizarre!

Those people on the other side were holding a gleaming golden cylinder, and then they started firing at them!

The needles fired from the cylinder were so thin, small, and indestructible that there was no way to stop them!

Simply put, it's like rain!

Densely packed!

Even if you are only scratched by these little things, your limbs will twitch, you will vomit black blood, and you will die on the spot!
