"When we arrived, Prefect Shen assigned us two important tasks: first, to ensure the safety of the Junior Prefect, and second, to capture Nashi Bai."

Prefect Shen knew that the young master had three experts by his side: Zhao Cheng, Wang Xing, and Lü Liang.

“From now on, these three must stay by Lord Shaofu’s side at all times until Nasba is captured.”

“There’s no need for that, I can protect myself,” Zhao Xian said.

"Your Excellency, do not be careless. This is Prefect Shen's order, and it must be carried out. Moreover, what Nashi Bai did was all aimed at Your Excellency."

If he finds out that his plan has been exposed, he will definitely resort to desperate measures and attack the Minister of the Imperial Household.

It is said that Nasba's martial arts skills are unfathomable, and we may not be able to capture him. Lord Shao, you should be cautious.

Before Bao Ping could finish speaking, Zhao Cheng and his two companions were invited in. The three had dealt with Bao Ping many times and were already very familiar with him.

"Greetings, General Bao." The three men stepped forward to greet him.

Bao Ping didn't say much. He first briefly introduced his main mission for this trip: the task of protecting the young master fell to the three of them.

From this moment on, the three of them will stay by the side of the young master of the mansion without ever leaving his side.

The three were taken aback. They never dreamed that Nashbai was in Narcissus Village and had been right beside them all along, yet they had no idea. This was a serious dereliction of duty.

Seeing the three men's embarrassed expressions, Zhao Xian couldn't help but laugh and said:

“You don’t need to be nervous. Actually, I recognized Nasba when he first came to Narcissus Village, and I was wary of him.”

Although I don't know kung fu, I still have ways to deal with Nashbai here. It's impossible for him to hurt me.

Therefore, I did not tell you about this matter, but only informed the government about the discovery of Nasbah, and let the government handle the matter.

"I didn't expect Prefect Shen to close the net so quickly. This Nashi Bai is really pitiful. He just spent eight thousand taels of silver to buy the inn in the second phase of the project, and before he even saw a trace of the inn, he was handed over to the village head."

Everyone laughed when they heard that.

Now that the government has taken action, I have no choice but to cooperate fully and not distract Bao Ping.

If we fail to capture Nasbad and he escapes, it will be a disaster.

"Does Master Yu know about this?" Zhao Xian asked.

"After receiving the imperial edict, Prefect Shen immediately notified Clerk Yu, who then kept a close eye on Na Shibai."

For safety's sake, Master Yu suggested that the arrest operation be carried out after Nasbad had fallen asleep.

Zhao Xian nodded. Making arrests at night was indeed a safer option and could also avoid harming innocent people.

"Is there anything I can do to help with the capture of Nashbai?" Zhao Xian asked.

"No need for help. We will stay in the workshop for now and not go out. We will go to the restaurant immediately to arrest Nasba when Master Yu gives the signal."

"Okay, I know what to do. First, have the chef cook. Only when they are full will they have the strength to capture people."

"Then thank you, Lord Shaofu," Bao Ping said.

It was nearly midnight when the waiter from the restaurant quietly approached the workshop under the cover of darkness.

As soon as he arrived at the workshop entrance, a large hand pulled him inside.

There were seven or eight soldiers in the workshop, fully armed, standing in a row, waiting for Bao Ping's orders.

Upon seeing Xiao Er being brought in, the soldiers immediately became excited.

"General Bao, Nashi Bai is on the third floor and is fast asleep. Master Yu sent me to inform him that we can make the arrest." The waiter said.

"Understood. Lead the way and let's go."

As the group walked out the door, Bao Ping glanced back at Zhao Cheng and the other two. Seeing them standing closely beside Zhao Xian, he said nothing and walked out of the workshop.

Bao Ping, accompanied by several soldiers and a waiter, quietly approached the restaurant. The restaurant door was ajar, and the group slipped inside.

Two candles were lit in the hall, casting a dim light that made everything appear hazy and indistinct.

Bao Ping raised his hand, and the soldiers subtly drew their swords, filling the hall with a gleam of cold light.

Bao Ping followed the waiter in front, with the others close behind, tiptoeing towards the third floor.

The stairs were made of wood, and several people lifted their legs high and landed lightly to avoid making a sound.

Oil lamps were lit in the stairwells and corridors; although not very bright, they illuminated everything around them.

The group quickly arrived at the door of a room on the third floor and blocked the doorway.

Bao Ping stood at the door, looked around, and then kicked the door.

With a loud crash, the door was kicked open and smashed to pieces, and several people rushed into the room like lightning.

There was also an oil lamp in the room, emitting a faint light.

In the dim light, one could see a person sitting up from the bed.

Regardless of whether this person was Nashbai or not, the soldiers rushed towards him without further ado.

The person on the bed was Nashbai. He was asleep when a loud noise woke him up, and he instinctively sat up in bed.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw several figures rushing towards him, and he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

With a gurgle, he rolled off the bed, and the men missed their target. Nashbai grabbed a sword hanging on the wall and stabbed at one of the men who was lunging at him again.

With a "thud," a soldier was stabbed in the chest. He pulled out his sword and immediately stabbed another soldier. Bao Ping's sword arrived, heading straight for his heart.

Nashbai quickly withdrew his sword to block Bao Ping's thrust.

Bao Ping's sword was powerful and heavy, and Na Shibai barely managed to deflect it.

After just one round, Nashbai knew he was no match for Baoping.

He knew in his heart that if he continued to stall like this, he would definitely be caught, so escaping was the priority.

Without hesitation, as Bao Ping swung his sword at him, Nashbai rammed into the window.

With a crash, the wooden window shattered, and Nashbai, along with the broken window, fell to the ground below.

Nashbury's swift and decisive escape through the window indicates that he was prepared, and that escaping by jumping out of the window was the most convenient method.

This room is located on the third floor, which is nothing to someone with high martial arts skills.

Seeing Nashbai jump out of the window and escape, Bao Ping became a little anxious, blaming himself for being careless. He thought it would have been better if he had arranged for a few people downstairs beforehand.

Without a word, Bao Ping followed Nashi Bai and jumped down. Seeing this, the soldiers did not hesitate and followed suit.

Nash jumped out of the window and quickly escaped.

During his time in Narcissus Village, Nasba was well aware that he was in danger and had already prepared contingency plans.

He was very familiar with the village environment and the roads outside the village. This incident happened suddenly, and he did not expect the government to arrest him at this time.

Although he was prepared, he was still caught off guard. Now, escaping was the priority, and he needed to shake off the people who were trying to capture him.
