His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

Since arriving in Da Xi City, Immortal Ziyun has been constantly plotting his revenge.

He first secretly infiltrated the residences of the Zhou, Wang, and Li families, eavesdropping on their every word and action, and learned a great deal about the internal affairs of the court, as well as the current position of the Empress of Da Xi.

The culprit who killed his own disciple is currently recuperating in a Taoist temple.

He couldn't let the three high-ranking officials of the court make fun of his disciple. He was already a dying man, so he didn't care about the rules of heaven and earth. The dragon energy backfired.

His heart was filled with murderous intent.

However, if he were to kill these court officials at this time, his "bridge of immortality," which was already a "dangerous bridge," might be impacted and risk collapsing.

At that point, the revenge plan will completely fall through.

He only had one chance, and he had to kill all the people he wanted to kill in one fell swoop with overwhelming force.

The Immortal Ziyun scattered a strange poison in the wells of the three mansions of Zhou, Wang, and Li.

It is a slow-acting poison; no symptoms are apparent for the first week after ingestion. After a week, the poison gradually takes effect, causing boils on the face, ulceration all over the body, and swelling in the lower limbs.

It won't kill you immediately, and the poison isn't lethal.

But it was extremely painful; he wanted to make them wish they were dead.

The Purple Cloud Immortal moved like a phantom. After administering the poison, he crouched down in a certain spot and closed his eyes to rest.

Quietly waiting for night to fall.

Tonight, he will first enter the Taoist temple to capture the Empress, and then go to find Xu Bing.

Kill those two scoundrels together!

……

Because of his limited vocabulary, Ji Yuan's insults against Xu Bing were as light as a tickle, limited to words like "unfilial son," "discarding the bridge after crossing the river," "insidious and cunning," and "bastard."

Xu Bing simply replied with four words: "Golden-haired big ass."

Ji Yuan was so angry that she almost fainted.

They were no match for each other. They couldn't beat the opponent in a fight, and they couldn't win an argument with them. It was incredibly frustrating.

At this moment, Ji Yuan's hands were tied behind his back, and his legs were bound with thin ropes. The golden ropes were even tougher than black iron, making it impossible for him to break free.

She completely lost the ability to resist.

Xu Bing then took out a cloak, completely covering Ji Yuan's curvaceous, voluptuous, and sexy figure, which was slightly disheveled but also possessed a certain alluring beauty.

Ji Yuan also gave up struggling completely. Everything had settled down, and she had completely fallen into Xu Bing's clutches once again.

The moment she put on the cloak, she truly lost all control of herself.

Ji Yuan, who was extremely arrogant in his life, was surprised by his own stupidity for the first time when he thought about how he had walked right into a trap.

Xu Bing led Ji Yuan downstairs, got into the carriage at the back door, and headed towards the Red Eagle Escort Agency.

When they returned to the escort agency, Zhao Xiaodao was lying on a stretcher, his body wrapped in bandages, barely breathing, and looked extremely pitiful.

Zhong Ziqi was struck in the chest by a palm and in the waist and abdomen by a fist. His injuries were not minor, and he had just coughed up several mouthfuls of blood.

As for Lei Yong, he had three bloody, blackened finger marks on his abdomen. His lips were purple; he had been poisoned, the opponent's finger technique was poisonous.

None of the three who went into battle returned intact.

Upon seeing Xu Bing and Ji Yuan behind him, everyone inside the escort agency made way for him.

No matter how many times they met, they were always amazed by each other's appearance and demeanor.

At this moment, Xu Bing slowly walked over, as if even the wind and snow made way for him. His natural charm was indescribable.

Ji Yuan's gaze swept over everyone, taking in their expressions. For some reason, her mood calmed down a little. This guy's looks were irresistible even to men. Let alone herself, a woman, some reactions were only natural.

"What a traitor! What's the point of being so good-looking? What a waste, what a waste."

Ji Yuan cursed inwardly, but had to admit that, in terms of appearance alone, no one could surpass him.

The bodyguards quickly made way, bowing respectfully with eyes full of awe.

"Boss, Xiao Dao... he might not make it."

One of the bodyguards, whose badge number was "Silver Three," looked sorrowful and was sobbing with tears in his eyes.

The Red Eagle Escort Agency has only five silver-level escorts: Silver One: Zhong Ziqi, Silver Two: Lei Yong, Silver Three: Lai Nei, Silver Four: Zhou Shi, and Silver Five: Li Qiao.

These five men are loyal and devoted to each other, having followed Zhao Dadao all the way to Zhao Xiaodao, and their bond is very strong.

Hearing their conversation, Ji Yuan glanced at the young man lying on the stretcher.

He was barely breathing; his injuries were too severe, and all five internal organs were damaged.

It's very difficult to save him now.

She shook her head slightly, feeling only regret. She had heard of Zhao Dadao, and his son Zhao Xiaodao was also a man of integrity.

Unfortunately, the trust was placed with the wrong person.

He risked his life, only to be used as a pawn by Xu Bing to tarnish the reputation of the Red Eagle Escort Agency.

How could it not be tragic? However, she had no right to criticize Xu Bing, because she was the same kind of person.

If she were kind and lovely, Xu Bing wouldn't have had to torment her like this. She's arrogant, cold-blooded, and suspicious…

Therefore, Xu Bing was wary, humiliated, and mocked. It would be naive to think that one could subdue an emperor based solely on a few days of contact.

Ji Yuan's vulnerable image at this moment was merely a result of being forced by the situation.

Xu Bing knew this all too well. If it were anyone else, seeing Ji Yuan, the dignified Empress, being so easily manipulated by them, they would probably be ecstatic.

If he were even more of a sycophant, he might have already helped her regain the throne, dreaming of a peaceful future where the emperor and his ministers would rule the Great Xi Dynasty in harmony.

Only when Ji Yuan returns to that position will this woman's true colors be revealed.

Cold-blooded, suspicious, greedy, and vindictive.

At least in Xu Bing's mind, Ji Yuan has always been this image.

"let me see."

Xu Bing walked up to Zhao Xiaodao, grabbed his wrist, and took his pulse.

His injuries were extremely severe, and he was on the verge of death, but this was not difficult for Xu Bing, who had mastered the Yama Needle, to resolve.

He took out silver needles and inserted them into Zhao Xiaodao's acupoints one after another to stabilize his injuries.

Then, by applying vital energy and using silver needles to transport blood and qi, the injury can be stabilized.

Finally, he ordered someone to bring paper and pen, and quickly wrote down the medical instructions and formulated a recuperation plan: one dose of decoction every morning and evening, a medicinal bath every two days, and rice as the main food.

In this way, Zhao Xiaodao not only regained his senses, but could even recover completely within a week.

This diagnosis was so miraculous that it opened everyone's eyes.

In particular, the movements when applying acupuncture to patients with chronic illnesses are fluid and pleasing to the eye. The finger techniques with distinct joints have formed a unique style.

It has a certain inexplicable charm.

Xu Bing then examined Zhong Ziqi. Although his injuries were not minor, they were still within his tolerance. After Xu Bing administered acupuncture and he recuperated for two more days, he would recover completely.

Next was Lei Yong, whose three finger marks were blackened from poisoning. He had been hit by the "Three Yin Claws," a vicious and insidious technique.

However, after Xu Bing administered the acupuncture, the toxins were expelled on the spot, and as the drops of black blood fell, Lei Yong's face quickly became rosy.

"The boss is truly a genius."

Everyone was amazed.

Zhao Xiaodao also perked up, wanting to thank Xu Bing.

"Don't move, just take good care of yourself."

"Xiao Dao, you did a good job. Like father, like son."

Xu Bing praised, saying that he had seen today's performance and that his praise was heartfelt.

Although Zhao Xiaodao couldn't move, his lively eyes were enough to show how happy he was to have gained Xu Bing's approval.

"Win...or not?" he asked.

"We won! We won the fourth match! Xiao Dao, you can rest easy now," Zhong Ziqi said quickly.

Zhao Xiaodao breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Ji Yuan, who was wearing a wool cloak: "Thank you... thank you for your help, heroine."

Ji Yuan spat, feeling choked up whenever she talked about it.

He could have run away, but he foolishly fought. The worst part is that after the fight, he walked right into a trap.

It's turned into this again.

"Thank you for your help, heroine," the bodyguards said in unison, bowing respectfully.

Ji Yuan simply closed her eyes, feeling not only a tightness in her chest but also an awkward sensation.

She, the dignified empress, not only fell into the hands of thieves, but was also taken back to their den.

Ji Yuan suddenly gritted her teeth and turned her head away.

Xu Bing looked at Ji Yuan with surprise, wondering what the woman was thinking.

Everyone assumed the female knight was aloof, and they all gave awkward smiles, not daring to approach her to speak.

This matter with the Martial Arts Bureau can be considered the Red Eagle Escort Agency's ticket to soaring again.

In the future, Xu Bing will only need to spend some more money to have the storyteller in the city's restaurants retell the events of today and talk about them over tea and after meals.

His reputation will surely spread.

If things go smoothly, the Red Eagle Escort Agency will develop rapidly.

Xu Bing walked up to Zhong Ziqi and Lei Yong. Although they were not the main characters in today's battle, they had done their best.

They deserve a reward.

Xu Bing waved his hand and awarded each person fifty taels of silver and one jin of rice.

In an instant, those bodyguards were all ready to risk their lives for Xu Bing.

Not only that, but each of them was also awarded a merit. Although this "merit" had no real substance, it was one of the indicators for promotion to gold-medal bodyguard.

In the early days of the Red Eagle Escort Agency, there were many opportunities to make contributions. If someone could seize this opportunity, their future power and status would be unimaginable.

Ji Yuan saw this and frowned. Xu Bing's current worldly wisdom was completely different from before.

He is fair in rewarding and punishing, and considerate of his subordinates.

The relationship is harmonious, yet the authority remains intact.

The degree of control was excellent.

She was completely different from before the meditation festival; it wasn't just her appearance that changed.

Ji Yuan had to admit that Xu Bing's personal charm was also undeniable.
