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

Time flies, and another week has passed.

Whether in the imperial court or in the martial arts world, undercurrents are surging everywhere.

The manor, however, remained as peaceful and tranquil as ever.

In the past few days, with the help of Weng Changting and several blacksmiths, Jia Daoshi has completed the manufacture of the Barrett.

In addition, a Desert Eagle was also crafted.

This weapon was made for Murong Jiu after all. You can't just carry a Barrett around all the time, can you?

As for bullets, some were also forged.

It must be said that the ancients had their own wisdom. After Jia Daoshi drew up the blueprints, these ancient masters indeed created what he wanted!

It has to be said, it's truly amazing!

This craft reminded Jia Daoshi of the Sanxingdui civilization before he traveled through time!

Eighth day.

There was a commotion outside the manor!

It was Hong Jingbao who returned in a large horse-drawn carriage!

The carriage was pulled by six horses, and on it sat a huge human-shaped object covered with a black cloth.

Needless to say, it was Hong Jingbao who successfully located Po Tu Qilang and then transported the items back!

Upon seeing Potu Qilang, Weng Changting couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

Because this thing is the masterpiece of their Deadwood School.

"Hata-shichiro... I never expected to see the light of day again under these circumstances."

Weng Changting looked on with a sigh, his full head of silver hair dancing gently in the wind, giving people a sense of broken beauty.

“Changting, this won’t be the last Qilang who breaks through the ground,” Jia Daoshi laughed. “Next, we’ll have ten, a hundred Qilang who break through the ground!”

Most of the weapons and supplies captured from the Blood Droplets army have been sorted and melted down for recasting. In the past few days, a number of mechanical beast parts have also been made.

"Patriarch! Chen Long and the others are back!"

Just then, Jia Bing ran over to report.

"Oh?"

Jia Daoshi's heart skipped a beat.

This time, Chen Long and his group were dispatched to kill the Fifth Prince Wu Quan, and according to the timeline, they should indeed be back.

"Master, they didn't bring back Wu Quan's head," Jia Bing added from the side.

"Could something have happened?"

Jia Daoshi pondered for a moment and said, "Given Wu Quan's status and position, assassinating him would indeed be quite troublesome. Let's go and hear what they have to say first."

living room.

Chen Long, Yuen Biao, and Hong Baoqiang all looked dejected, their initial high spirits gone.

The three of them now look like children who have made a mistake.

Judging from the expressions on the three men's faces, Jia Daoshi knew that this mission had definitely gone wrong.

I just don't know what went wrong.

"Who will say it?"

Jia Daoshi smiled, his gaze toward the three men carrying no reproach.

Just a few months ago, they were farmers in the village, toiling in the fields and worrying about making a living.

Killing a prince was simply a fantasy to them!

Following Jia Daoshi's words, Hong Baoqiang looked at Chen Long, while Chen Long's gaze fell on Yuen Biao.

Then, Hong Baoqiang's gaze also fell on Yuen Biao.

"Cough cough..."

Yuen Biao coughed and stepped forward half a step: "Patriarch, then let me speak."

"This mission to assassinate the Fifth Prince wasn't too difficult. Even if we couldn't complete it, Brother Baoqiang alone could easily overwhelm the guards in their residence!"

"However, when we were assassinating and infiltrating our way there, we discovered that the Fifth Prince... was gone! He disappeared very mysteriously!"

"We clearly saw him go into that room, but there was no one inside!"

"Then, we staked out the place for a long time and searched other places, but we still couldn't find him."

Yuen Biao has finished speaking.

"You mean, Wu Quan just vanished into thin air?" Jia Daoshi narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

This fifth prince has always wanted to kill him!

He wanted to kill Yi Qianxiao when he got married!

"I was too soft-hearted. I should have acted sooner," Jia Daoshi sighed inwardly.

In this situation, it seems the other party saw that he was difficult to deal with and simply went into hiding to avoid trouble.

Seeing Jia Daoshi frown, Chen Long took half a step forward and said, "Patriarch, Brother Yuan is right. This Wu Quanzhen is a scoundrel. A prince, yet he acts like a coward!"

"interesting."

Based on what Jia Daoshi saw and heard during his trip to Jinling, there might be other experts around the Fifth Prince who moved him away before Chen Long and his group found Wu Quan!

However, since there are such experts, why not target Chen Long and his group?

Jia Daoshi sat in the chair, tapping the back of the armrest with his fingers, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Seeing that Jia Daoshi remained silent, Yuen Biao and Chen Long also kept quiet.

As for Hong Baoqiang, he was never one to utter a word, so he's even less likely to say anything now.

After a long pause, Jia Daoshi nodded and said, "Alright, since we can't find him, let's put this matter aside for now. I'll have someone investigate his whereabouts. As long as this kid dares to show his face, that's your chance to strike again!"

"We will certainly live up to the patriarch's expectations!"

Hong Baoqiang clasped his hands together, his face resolute.

"Okay, you can go now."

Jia Daoshi waved his hand.

"Yes!"

Chen Long and his two companions left.

Jia Daoshi sneered, "Fifth Prince, is it? I'd like to see how long you can hide."

……

On the school field.

Hong Baoqiang began to train desperately.

"Baoqiang, we just got home, why don't you rest for a bit?" Chen Long said speechlessly, a blade of grass dangling from his mouth.

"No! I failed to kill the Fifth Prince this time, it must be because I'm not strong enough!" Hong Baoqiang said with a determined look.

"Why are you so stubborn, kid? Everyone else has already hidden in the ground. What good is it if you're so strong?" Chen Long was speechless.

"Anyway, I want to become stronger!" Hong Baoqiang was not affected by Chen Long's words at all.

……

at the same time.

The Great Jing Dynasty.

Royal capital!

Imperial Palace, Hall of Supreme Harmony!

This is where the Great Jing Dynasty holds its meetings.

The decoration alone used a thousand tons of gold, making it look magnificent!

Unlike the solemn atmosphere of the past, the Hall of Supreme Harmony was now in complete chaos!

A group of court officials were arguing so heatedly that they were almost about to come to blows!

"So what if he's the commander of the Imperial City Guard? Does that give him the right to go against the imperial court? Three thousand men! Three thousand men! He killed them all!"

"If you ask me, this is the greatest traitor to the nation! He should be executed!"

"That's not right. The Blood Droplets acted on their own and went to cause trouble for Jatis, and our Empress didn't say anything. What right do they have to mobilize them without authorization?"

"Moreover, not long ago, Jia Tisi fought bravely against the demons in Jinling, eliminating many major threats to the court! If the court were to send a large army to punish him, wouldn't that discourage a meritorious official?"

"The most pressing threat right now is the Green Turban Army!"
