Chapter 87 Main Story

He arrived at the Divine Power Marquis's mansion with three thousand imperial guards, displaying his extraordinary encounter by kicking open the mansion's gate.

"Who goes there? How dare you trespass into the Marquis of Shentong's residence?"

The gatekeeper was too late to stop him and shouted sternly.

If not now, when?

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he stepped forward and presented his gold medal: "Imperial Guards are handling this case; bystanders, please step back. Seize them!"

The three thousand imperial guards behind him rushed forward, and in no time, all the servants and guards in the Divine Power Marquis's mansion surrendered.

As for the martial arts masters kept in Fang Yingkan's mansion, although they were highly skilled in martial arts, they did not have the courage to openly oppose the imperial court, and could only surrender without resistance.

Those who tried to escape were no match for her twenty-foot-long attack range and were struck down by her sword with a single blow.

"Reporting to the General of the State, everyone in the Marquis of Shentong's mansion has been captured, but the traitor Fang Yingkan has not been found."

Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she nodded; she already knew this.

She had already opened the focus list when she entered the room, and Fang Yingkan's name had never appeared on it, so she guessed that he might no longer be here.

It's unclear whether the news leaked from the palace, allowing him to escape, or if it was simply a coincidence that he happened to be out on business at that moment.

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he still leaned towards it being just a coincidence, but on the surface he spoke very seriously: "The traitor Fang Yingkan has already escaped. He must have planted people in the palace beforehand, otherwise how could he have received the news so quickly?"

"He must have been plotting a rebellion all along. You should go back and report to the Emperor immediately, tell him what happened here, and ask the Emperor to issue a nationwide warrant for the arrest of the traitor Fang Yingkan."

This is such a good opportunity, we must kill him.

"yes!"

The commander of the Imperial Guards accepted the order and left, but Xiu, having experienced a strange encounter, did not rush to leave.

Why are you leaving? She hasn't even had time to loot her spoils yet!

Since Youqiao Group can control national grain prices, it must be very rich, right?

Showing off his extraordinary adventures, he searched the entire Marquis's mansion but found nothing of value. A clever imperial guard below, seeing this, quickly spoke up.

"General Zhenguo, I've heard that the traitor Fang Yingkan has a residence outside the city called Bujiezhai. It's said that's where he usually lives. Shall we go and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Xiu Chuqi's eyes lit up.

"Okay, what's your name?"

The imperial guard, eager to curry favor, hurriedly introduced himself: "This subordinate is Zhang Lin."

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he patted Zhang Lin on the shoulder, just like a big shot in a TV drama: "Zhang Lin, right? Well done, lead the way."

Encouraged, Zhang Lin straightened his back and said in a loud voice, "Yes!"

On the other side, Fang Yingkan, unaware that the Marquis of Shentong's mansion was surrounded by the Imperial Guards, was sitting on a magnificent chair, looking at the three trembling women at his feet with a mocking gaze.

"You guys are really bold, daring to betray me?"

What was just an ordinary sentence sounded like a devil whispering in the ears of these three poor people.

"You, you're not human!"

"If you hadn't bullied us because we were weak, insulted us, killed our parents, and forced us to this point, why would we have chosen to appeal?"

"Yeah?"

Faced with the woman's accusations, Fang Yingkan nonchalantly replied, "So, did you succeed? Aren't you kneeling at my feet trembling right now?"

He stepped forward and used his fan to lift the woman's chin: "If you ask me, you'd be better off serving me properly. So what if your parents and brothers are dead? At least you'd be alive and have fine clothes to enjoy. Why did things have to turn out like this?"

"Pooh!"

A mouthful of spit was sprayed onto Fang Yingkan's face: "You beast, what do you know about human ethics and common sense?"

"You think everyone is like you just because you're greedy and greedy for pleasure? We are human beings, and we can never become beasts like you!"

Fang Yingkan's face finally darkened.

He wiped the spit off his face and slapped the woman to the ground.

He straightened up and said in a sinister tone, "Since you don't know what's good for you, then die."

"I want to see if you can withstand my punishment, and see if you can still be whole people."

"Take him away. I will personally carry out the execution after I have bathed and changed."

He waved his hand, and the guards behind him immediately stepped forward and dragged the women away.

The three women being dragged away looked terrified, their eyes filled with unspeakable hatred. They struggled and shouted curses as they went.

"You beast, we'll haunt you even as ghosts!"

As the woman's shrill curses faded into the distance, Fang Yingkan was about to return to his room to wash up when he heard a commotion not far away.

"What's wrong?"

With a frown, Fang Yingkan was in a very bad mood and spoke in an unfriendly tone, "What happened now? What am I feeding you all for? You can't even handle such a small matter?"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a figure was kicked in from outside the door.

Fang Ying looked closely and realized that the person kicked in was none other than the guard who was on duty at the gate that day.

“For you, young marquis, this is no small matter.”

As the voice of her extraordinary encounter slowly rang out, she stepped into the room: "After all, this matter concerns your life. If you are not careful, you will never see the sun rise again tomorrow."

As a young marquis who often resided in the capital, Fang Yingkan had a keen eye. He immediately recognized that the armor worn by the person following behind Xiu Chuqi was in the style of the Imperial Guard. His heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling.

Ignoring his almost provocative words about his extraordinary encounter, Fang Yingkan turned to a familiar face: "Vice Commander Zhang, may I ask what brings you here today?"

Who is Zhang Lin?

A smooth-talking, ambitious deputy commander of the Imperial Guards. A man who always wanted to drop the "deputy" title and become the true Grand Commander of the Imperial Guards.

Seeing that Fang Yingkan was about to fall, and even Prime Minister Cai Jing was about to be implicated, as the instigator of this whole affair, who had shown off his extraordinary encounter and gained the emperor's favor, and was about to rise to prominence, did he not know whose coattails he should curry favor with at this time?

He spoke righteously and sternly, rebuking, "You audacious traitor! The General of the Nation has deigned to speak with you, yet you dare to evade the question and ignore the General of the Nation?"

As he spoke, he turned to look at the person who had shared their extraordinary encounter, and a smile appeared on his face.

"General, shall I give the order to capture him?"

Fang Ying's face immediately darkened.

"What traitor?" He hadn't received the news yet, unaware that his extraordinary encounter and some clever maneuver had turned him from a minor nobleman into a traitor personally ordered to be arrested by the emperor.

But at this moment, no one was willing to answer him; everyone was waiting for the moment when he would reveal his extraordinary encounter and give the order.

He felt a moment of secret pleasure after showing off his extraordinary encounter, then shook his head.

"No need. You are no match for him. To avoid unnecessary casualties, I will deal with him myself."

"The general is truly righteous."

Before Zhang Lin could finish his flattering remarks, Fang Yingkan, who had already sensed something was wrong, made his move.

With a clang, the sound of two swords clashing rang out.

Showing off his unexpected encounter, he realized that Fang Yingkan was indeed a show-off.

His weapon was clearly a longsword, but he always waved a fan, pretending to be dashing, but in reality, he was not dashing at all, making people just want to beat him up.

Even if one's mind wanders, it doesn't stop the martial arts assistant from outputting its skills.

Even though Fang Yingkan bought a lot of Na Yuan Pills from Xiu Chu Qi Yu, his martial arts skills were still far inferior to Guan Qi's. Xiu Chu Qi Yu easily beat him into serious injury.

Zhang Lin also chimed in at this moment: "General, your martial arts are indeed superb. The traitor Fang Yingkan has been captured. Shall we conduct a thorough search to see if there is any other evidence of crime here?"

No wonder he's a government official; his speech is always so dignified.

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he nodded in satisfaction: "Go ahead, I will praise you in front of the Emperor."

"Thank you, General!"

Zhang Lin left happily after receiving the promise of a wonderful encounter. The person who had the chance to show off his wonderful encounter gave some instructions, arranged for someone to keep an eye on Fang Yingkan, and then went out to search for treasure on his own.

For some reason, she wandered around the Undisciplined Fasting Hall several times but couldn't find any interactive or collectible items.

"Could it be that the developers have secretly updated something again?"

Just as she was recounting her extraordinary experience and questioning her existence, Zhang Lin stealthily approached her and handed her a box.

"General, this is a gift for you."

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he opened the box and found it contained a box of gold notes, totaling a whopping 20,000 taels of gold.

"I see."

Showing off his unexpected encounter, he suddenly realized, "The spoils of war still need to be handed over by my underlings. Luckily, I took them in on a whim, otherwise I would have lost 20,000 gold for nothing!"

Back in the hall, the Imperial Guards, who had turned the place upside down, led in three badly wounded women.

"General, we found these three women in a dark room. They want to accuse Fang Yingkan of abducting women, murdering wives, and wiping out entire families."

"!!!"

Showing off her amazing encounter, she looked at them in shock and quickly helped them up. As she passed Fang Yingkan, she didn't forget to kick him hard.

"You really are a piece of trash!"

The women, who thought they were doomed, were unexpectedly rescued and were even able to witness Fang Yingkan's disheveled state, which filled them with immense satisfaction. Large tears, however, rolled down their cheeks.

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he frantically wiped away their tears.

"Don't cry. I've already caught Fang Yingkan. Don't worry, he's a traitor to the court now and he definitely won't survive. If you have any grievances, just tell me and I'll stand up for you."

Upon hearing this, the three women, who were already shedding tears, burst into even more sobs.

"I'll stand up for you."

They had waited so long for these words, and after all their despair, they never imagined they would see this day again. The torment and suffering they had endured during this time were simply too much. At this moment, all they wanted to do was cry out all the grief and anger in their hearts.

Having experienced the Bat Island incident, Show's adventures have given him some experience.

They patiently waited for them to finish crying before offering them handkerchiefs to wipe away their tears.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, sir."

The woman who had wiped away her tears looked at the woman who had shared her extraordinary experience with embarrassment, only to realize that the woman in front of her looked even younger than them. A feeling of shyness welled up inside her.

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he shook his head: "If you have grievances in your hearts, just cry it out."

Upon hearing this, the women's tears, which had already stopped, began to flow again.

Pressing her hands to stop the tears from falling again, the woman slowly recounted Fang Yingkan's sins.

It turns out they were all maids in the Marquis of Shentong's mansion. Fang Yingkan not only forcibly took them, but also killed their parents and relatives to silence them in order to maintain his reputation.

Before them, more than thirty maids and their families had already fallen victim to Fang Yingkan's cruelty.

"In order to seek justice, the three of us tried to ask a kind-hearted girl to help us appeal to the capital. But we never expected that our plan would be exposed, which is why Fang Yingkan threw us into the dungeon."

"If the young lady had arrived even a moment later, we would probably have been silenced by him long ago."

If initially, Xiu's desire to kill Fang Yingkan stemmed from personal grudges, his urge to kill him reached its peak after learning of Fang's evil deeds.

Looking up at the three victims, he asked, "Do you want to kill him with your own hands to avenge yourselves and your families?"

Unexpectedly, the three poor girls were taken aback by the question posed after sharing their extraordinary adventure. The next moment, their eyes blazed with hatred: "Yes, of course we want to! We dream about it!"

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he nodded, casually drew Zhang Lin's sword from beside him and handed it to them, pointing it at Fang Yingkan, who was lying on the ground unable to move: "Come on, he's lying there, go kill him."

"General!"

Zhang Lin exclaimed in surprise and looked at Xiu Chuqi: "Fang Yingkan is a traitor whom the Emperor ordered to be arrested. Wouldn't it be a bit inappropriate for us to execute him in private like this?"

Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she resolutely snatched his sword and handed it to the girl in the lead.

"It's alright, I'll take full responsibility. I'll just say that the traitor Fang Yingkan refused to submit to the law, and it was difficult to hold back in a battle between experts. I had no choice but to kill him."

"this……"

Zhang Lin hesitated for a moment, turned his head to look at the room where no other Imperial Guards were present, and gritted his teeth.

“Alright,” he said, then looked at the three poor girls, “You mustn’t be ungrateful and betray us. If you do, I’ll show you the Imperial Guard’s methods.”

The girls shook their heads repeatedly: "Don't worry, sir, we are not ungrateful people. You risked your lives to fulfill our wishes, how could we betray our benefactors?"

With just a few words, Fang Yingkan's fate was sealed. Severely injured and unable to move, Fang Yingkan was filled with grief and indignation.

He not only couldn't understand why things had come to this, but he also couldn't accept that he would die at the hands of a few defenseless women.

He wanted to shout loudly to attract the Imperial Guards outside. He simply showed off his extraordinary adventures, never giving the villains a chance.

Not only did she refuse to explain what she had done to warrant the Emperor's order for the Imperial Guards to arrest him, but she also personally sealed all his acupoints after severely injuring him, leaving him lying on the ground at the mercy of others.

He watched with resentment as he witnessed the extraordinary encounter, felt the pain of the sword piercing his body, and ultimately could only perish with this resentment and unwillingness.

"Fang Yingkan is dead. What are your plans now?"

Seeing the girls looking bewildered after killing their enemies, Xiu, fearing they might take their own lives, quickly asked them what had happened.

The women shook their heads: "I don't know. Our families are all stunned by Fang Ying's gaze, and we have nowhere to go."

After thinking for a moment, Xiu Chuqi extended an invitation to them: "Have you heard of Baichuan Pavilion? I am the Pavilion Master of Baichuan Pavilion. Would you like to join Baichuan Pavilion?"

"Of course I've heard of it!"

As Fang Yingkan's maids, even though they didn't know any martial arts, they had all heard of the famous forces in the capital.

"Baichuan Pavilion is one of the three largest powers in the capital. Can we join even if we don't know martial arts?"

“Of course,” Xiu Chuqi nodded. “Baichuan Pavilion is so big that not everyone needs to know martial arts to join.”

“We happen to have quite a few businesses. Those who can read can be apprentices, those who can do math can be accountants, those who can cook well can be cooks, and those who can sew and mend can help out in the embroidery workshop. We can always find a place for you.”

The women nodded quickly: "We are willing to join, please accept us, Master."

Seeing that a glimmer of hope for the future had finally appeared in their eyes, Xiu Chuqi felt relieved and led everyone away from this place.

Upon returning to the palace, he briefly reported the outcome to the Emperor. He also specifically mentioned Zhang Lin, instructing him to report on the evidence collected at the Unrestrained Abode and to showcase his extraordinary encounter, thus completing the mission of capturing the traitor.

"You've worked hard, my dear minister."

The Emperor watched with satisfaction as Xiu swiftly displayed her extraordinary encounter, thinking that if all the court officials were this efficient, how could he worry about the decline of the Song Dynasty?

"I bestow upon you a General's Mansion and ten thousand taels of gold. My dear minister, you may return and rest for now. I will summon you to an audience once this matter is settled."

Showing off one's extraordinary encounter is truly touching.

This was the first time she had ever seen an emperor so generous, and she would never secretly call him a fool again.

Fools are good! Fools are generous, unlike some emperors surnamed Li who are stingy and treat our dignified Parrot Hongyi like a donkey—and the worst part is, he's not even as valuable as a donkey!

Zhang Lin, who was also commended by the Emperor, personally escorted Xiu away from the palace after her extraordinary encounter: "Today, I thank the General for speaking well of me before His Majesty. If you need my services in the future, please inform me, and I will certainly obey without question."

Showing off his extraordinary encounter, he nodded, casually mimicked a few lines from a TV drama, and then took his leave.

After touring her new house and showing off her amazing adventure, she returned to Baichuan Pavilion, where she was greeted by a group of people, including Qiao Feng, who looked on with admiration.

In front of acquaintances, the slight smugness that had been somewhat diminished from showing off his extraordinary adventure resurfaced. He raised his head, chin held high, and said, "Wasn't I amazing?"

Wang Xiaoshi nodded repeatedly: "Amazing, absolutely amazing!"

He gave a thumbs-up to Xiu Chuqi: "Not only did you effortlessly resolve the Youqiao Group issue, but you also implicated Cai Jing, the biggest traitor in the capital. You accomplished what countless ambitious people could not do; you are truly amazing."

"Cai Jing?"

She seemed to have heard this name before?

After carefully recalling his extraordinary encounter, he finally remembered that it seemed to have been something Zhuge Shenhou had specifically mentioned to the emperor.

Now, reflecting on this experience again, I can truly appreciate the meaning behind this extraordinary encounter.

Well, you're something else, Zhuge Xiaohua!

I never imagined that someone as seemingly kind and handsome as you would secretly sabotage and cause trouble for others!

Showing off unexpected encounters doesn't evoke anger at being exploited, but rather joy at the diverse and intelligent personalities of NPCs.

This game is getting more and more fun.

Wait, a game?

Showing off her adventure, she realized that she had been in this level for so long that she had completely forgotten to check what the main quest was.

It's all because Seasun Games did an excellent job of creating an immersive experience in this game, making players unconsciously become engrossed in it.

Opening the task panel, I couldn't help but widen my eyes when I saw the amazing encounter.

It turns out that the main mission this time is to kill Cai Jing.

This is truly a case of finding something you've been searching for with great effort, only to have it come to you effortlessly.

Unexpectedly, my stroke of genius actually advanced the completion of the main quest without my realizing it.

Thinking of Zhuge Shenhou, whom he had just criticized, he couldn't help but secretly repent in his heart after showing off his extraordinary encounter.

"Zhuge Shenhou, I will never complain about you again. You are such a good person!"

Next, she just needs to patiently wait for the emperor to issue an edict to punish Cai Jing, and then she can request permission to personally execute Cai Jing to complete the mission.

Thinking about this made me feel cheerful about sharing my wonderful experience.

Never before in the world has the mission been so simple to complete.

"Could it be that I've been spending too much time with Kunyu Xuanjing and have caught his good fortune? Maybe I should go herding livestock outside the city later and try to scam the Western Wind from beyond the Great Wall?"

Thinking about his extraordinary encounter, he turned around and looked at Qiao Feng and the others.

"I'm planning to go horse racing outside the city. Who among you would like to come with me?"

Everyone looked at each other, wondering how the topic had suddenly jumped to this point.

Qiao Feng took the initiative to speak: "I'll go with you. I have something I want to talk to you about."

Wang Xiaoshi glanced at Qiao Feng and nodded understandingly: "You guys go ahead. Baichuan Pavilion has just swallowed up the Mitian Alliance, and there are still many things to do in the pavilion. I won't go; I'll stay here and help out."

The two arrived outside the city together, and after showcasing their adventure, chose a scenic spot and summoned the tamed lightning to graze.

She caught this horse to farm achievements and as a prerequisite for the Wilderness Steed, but after catching it, she complained that the Lightning level was too high and it would take too long to raise, so she hasn't been able to raise it yet.

Looking at the foal that had been summoned out of thin air by the show's extraordinary encounter without any surprise, Qiao Feng affectionately stroked the horse's back and said in an admiring tone, "This horse is good, it looks very magnificent."

Showing off his adventure, he nodded: "Yes, it's level twelve. It's called Lightning. If you like it, I'll give it to you once I've raised it."

Qiao Feng chuckled. He just had something he wanted to say but didn't know how to start, so he just picked a random topic to get through the time. How did he suddenly end up asking for a fine horse?

He quickly shook his head and refused: "No need for that. I came out with you today to take my leave. How can I travel with a horse?"

Showing off his extraordinary adventure, his attention was no longer on the lightning: "Goodbye? Are you homesick?"

He nodded understandingly: "Okay, I'll take you home later. I'll come find you to play again next time."

Qiao Feng was surprised that he agreed so easily after showing off his extraordinary encounter, and he felt a little embarrassed.

"I promised to be at your beck and call, but I..."

Showing off her extraordinary encounter, she quickly interrupted him: "What are you saying? I already said from the beginning that I asked you to come and help, and also to let you relax in a different environment. You can go back anytime you want, there's no need to feel guilty."

Seeing that Xiu Chu's tone was sincere and that she was indeed not the kind of person who was two-faced, Qiao Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Actually, I wanted to say this after Bai Choufei betrayed us, but I didn't know how to bring it up."

Upon hearing this, Xiu Chuqi immediately became alert: "You're not saddened by this, are you? That's why you want to leave, is it?"

Remembering that he had also been betrayed in his original world, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Qiao Feng after showing off his extraordinary encounter suddenly became tinged with pity.

"Don't let irrelevant and unworthy people influence you. There are far more brothers in Baichuan Pavilion who trust you than those who betray you."

Qiao Feng chuckled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I'm not disheartened, I've just figured things out."

"Have you figured it out?"

Qiao Feng nodded and looked into the distance: "Before coming here, I was indeed always bothered by my identity as a Khitan. I felt that if it weren't for this identity, the Beggars' Sect wouldn't have had internal strife, and my adoptive parents wouldn't have been killed by my biological father."

"Although you, the miracle doctor, saved their lives, there is still a hurdle in my heart that I can't get over."

"However, after arriving here, I witnessed all sorts of deceit and treachery, and also made many close friends. I also personally experienced Bai Choufei's betrayal. This time, I suddenly realized that none of this had anything to do with identity, but only with interests and ambitions."

“I did nothing wrong. Even if I am a Khitan, I am still a man of honor. There is no need to torment myself over this and blame all my misfortunes on my identity.”

He then turned to look at Xiu Chuqiyu and said, "So I want to go back, to face my past, to get rid of all burdens, and to live an upright life."

-----------------------

The author's note: The three people who wanted to sue Fang Yingkan in the original novel were truly pitiful. They were mentioned in the "Invincible Under Heaven" volume of the original novel, but I didn't dare to write it out. Fang Yingkan is a real beast.
