Chapter 28 Street Assassination
The long sword pierced the air, fiercely attacking Jiang Shuoye's face.
The cold glint of the blade was reflected in his dark pupils.
Just as the blade was about to strike him, he lay back on his horse to dodge the attack, while keeping his spear at the same angle and thrusting it straight at Mirhan's heart.
Mirhan tightened the reins, and his horse immediately changed direction. He himself also suddenly turned to the side, dodging the attack.
The two men and their horses passed each other, then immediately turned their horses around and attacked each other again.
The first tactic is to test the waters.
They had gained a certain understanding of each other's strengths.
Jiang Shuoye could tell that the unfamiliar general in front of him was quite capable, but still somewhat inferior to Muhammad.
Mirhan, who had initially dismissed the matter, became more at ease and dared not be careless anymore.
The commander of the Northern Desert in front of me is indeed very strong.
The two clashed again, their blades striking the spears with dazzling sparks and a teeth-grinding sound.
Jiang Shuoye's spear pressed heavily on the longsword.
Mirhan could only passively resist by raising his longsword.
He roared and squeezed his legs tightly around the horse's belly, his arm muscles bulging as he tried to push the spear away.
However, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest and his pupils contracted sharply.
Jiang Shuoye suddenly stood up, and an even more terrifying weight pressed down on him. Mirhan gritted his teeth, but the long sword was still pressed down lower and lower, almost touching his shoulder.
The sharp tip of the spear was almost touching his neck.
This was an extremely dangerous position; if Jiang Shuoye deviated even slightly from the angle of the spear, it could pierce his neck.
Mirhan roared and slammed his legs into the horse's belly, causing the warhorse to suddenly bow its head, and the rider on its back also lowered down.
As the force of their close clash dissipated, Mirhan took the opportunity to lean back and avoid the spear's attack.
Jiang Shuoye's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly withdrew his spear, only to thrust it out again with lightning speed.
This time, however, he stabbed Mirhan in the abdomen.
Mirhan instinctively raised his knife to block.
As the weapons clashed, Jiang Shuoye's arm went numb, but he did not lose strength. Instead, he twisted the spear shaft, and the iron lock at the connection between the shaft and the spearhead wrapped around the blade.
Mirhan instinctively pulled on the hilt of his sword, and Jiang Shuoye also pulled his spear back with all his might. The warhorses beneath them neighed and raised their front legs high.
As the two forces pulled against each other, Jiang Shuoye suddenly loosened his grip on the gun, and the sharp tip of the gun slid towards Mirhan's chest.
Mirhan was startled and subconsciously loosened his grip, but Jiang Shuoye suddenly grabbed the spear and pulled it back along with the long sword.
They were disarmed!
Mirhan was terrified and immediately spurred his horse to flee.
However, he hadn't run far when he heard a whooshing sound behind him.
He thought it was a spear coming at him, so he quickly ducked to dodge, but what came at him was his own longsword.
The long sword slashed down fiercely, severing his right arm.
Fresh blood gushed out.
Mirhan roared and fled in a disheveled state towards the military camp.
The remaining Tatar cavalry rushed over to cover him and quickly prepared to retreat. However, the Northern Desert cavalry, who had been easily shaken off before, were unusually difficult to deal with today.
The soldiers from the northern desert were able to simply loosen the reins and fight them with both hands holding guns.
Previously, the northern cavalry had to hold the reins tightly with one hand to avoid falling off, but now they seemed to have the ability of the Tatars, sitting steadily on their horses!
In this way, the Tatar soldiers' previous advantage disappeared.
On the contrary, due to the characteristic of cold weapons that "the longer the weapon, the stronger it is", the advantage of the long spears of the Mobei cavalry became prominent.
Therefore, it did not take long for the Tatar cavalry to fall behind.
Seeing the deputy general escape with a severed arm, the morale of the army collapsed, and the sound of "retreat" could be heard. The Tatar soldiers scattered and fled.
The border between the northern desert and the Tatars was a vast "Yanbian Grassland," with the Gobi Desert to the south, as well as the garrisons of the northern desert army and border towns.
To the north lay even more expansive grasslands and the Tatar tribes ruled by the Muhammad court.
There were dozens of Tatar tribes, large and small, which were only brought under the rule of the Muhammad tribe a few decades ago, who then established a royal court.
In order to better defend against Da Ning, King Muhammad sent his younger brother Muhammad to lead the Muhammad army to garrison the other side of the Yanbian grassland.
Previously, when the Qin family army was guarding the northern border, the Tatar army rarely came to harass them.
Afterwards, in order to put Emperor Yingzong on the throne, Qin Taiwei led half of the Qin family army to the capital and important places within the pass, while the remaining 50,000 Qin family troops were led by General Qin and his wife, Qin Xiao's father and mother, and remained stationed on the northern border.
Because of the Qin family army's fearsome reputation, and with General Qin and his wife left behind to guard the area, the Tatars did not dare to invade rashly even though only 50,000 Qin family soldiers remained.
However, not long after Emperor Yingzong ascended the throne, he could not stand the Qin family's growing power and extended olive branches to the Jiang family several times, wanting them to annex the Qin family's 50,000 troops guarding the northern lands.
The Jiang family's ancestors gained power during the reign of Emperor Gaozong, and later during the reigns of Emperor Mingzong and Emperor Wuzong. During the later years of Emperor Wuzong, their power was repeatedly reduced, and by the time of Emperor Chengzong, they only had 20,000 troops left in Guannei, and they were almost merged into other armies.
At that time, Jiang Shuoye's father, clan elders, and other relatives actually preferred to pursue a literary career. In addition, Qi Zhili from the Qi family became the Censor-in-Chief, so the Jiang family felt that entering the imperial court seemed like a better option.
Unfortunately, none of their family members had any talent in this area, and their family's fortunes declined further.
Under these circumstances, it was like a windfall for Emperor Yingzong to want to give them important positions.
Therefore, Jiang Shuoye's father accepted the offer without much hesitation, leading the Jiang family and 20,000 soldiers from within the Great Wall to the northern desert.
Unexpectedly, just as they were about to arrive, they received news that the Tatars had suddenly invaded, and General Qin and his wife had both perished.
Emperor Yingzong ordered the Jiang family to rush over immediately, take over the remaining 40,000 Qin family troops, and launch a counterattack against the Tatars.
None of the Jiang family members had ever been to the battlefield, so Jiang Shuoye's father had no choice but to go, and as expected, they suffered two defeats in a row.
Fortunately, Jiang Shuoye arrived at that moment.
Jiang Shuoye was only seventeen years old at the time. He had not stayed in the Jiang family for nearly ten years, but had been traveling the world with his master, learning martial arts and helping the world.
He learned by chance that the Jiang family had moved to the northern desert, so he bid farewell to his master and rushed to the northern desert.
His original intention was to persuade his family not to be used by Emperor Yingzong. The Qin family army had rendered meritorious service in defending the border and should not be discarded like a used tool. At least the Jiang family should not become that "knife".
But when he arrived, he learned that General Qin and his wife had both died in battle.
This was clearly suspicious, and he even suspected that it was a scheme orchestrated by Emperor Yingzong in collusion with the Tatars, but there was no evidence.
Given the current situation, any deal between Emperor Yingzong and the Tatars is no longer valid. Emperor Yingzong cannot control the Tatars, and they clearly intend to take advantage of the Qin family army's leaderless state to invade the northern desert.
Jiang Shuoye had no choice but to don his armor and go into battle.
He was only seventeen years old and an unknown junior. Not to mention the Qin family army, even the 20,000 troops from within the pass brought by the Jiang family didn't take him seriously.
However, all of this changed after Jiang Shuoye went to the battlefield.
He inherited the martial arts talent and military command skills of the Jiang family ancestors, and learned a lot of skills from his mysterious master. He had been in the martial arts world for many years and had seen all kinds of deceit and treachery. He was almost self-taught in military strategy.
Therefore, when he went to the battlefield and the two armies faced off, he killed the Tatar army's commander-in-chief with just one shot.
Then he led his soldiers to drive the Tatar army back to the other side of the Yanbian grassland.
He became famous overnight.
Jiang Shuoye was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Desert by Emperor Yingzong, holding the rank of Second Grade.
The Qin family army and the Guannei army merged to form the new Mobei army.
After that, he submitted another memorial requesting to recruit more soldiers, and only then did the number of soldiers gradually increase.
Now, eight years later, the former Qin family army and the Guannei army have completely merged into one, becoming the current 80,000-strong Mobei army.
Jiang Shuoye's reputation gradually spread along with the fame of the Northern Desert Army, intimidating the Mukhan royal court and the Tatar tribes.
However, since the beginning of spring this year, Tatar troops have been raiding the border more and more frequently.
They never actually launch an attack; each time it's all bark and no bite, as if they're waiting for some opportunity or brewing some conspiracy.
Jiang Shuoye was deeply worried, and that's when he began to intensify the training of more cavalry.
Fortunately, with the guidance of the high priest, he now has the treasures of stirrups and saddles, which have truly solved his urgent problem.
The soldiers cheered excitedly, celebrating this victory, which was easier than any they had ever achieved before.
"General, you're amazing! With these stirrups and saddle, I can swing my spear with even more power."
"That's right. Before, when I rode a horse, I was afraid of falling off, so I had to hold the reins with one hand. Now I can just let go and I'm not afraid of falling."
"Look at how those Tatars are fleeing in disarray, it's so satisfying!"
Jiang Shuoye slowly exhaled.
He had previously tried to explain that the "stirrups and saddles" were a divine instruction, but he couldn't quite put his words into words.
Perhaps that immortal was indifferent to fame and fortune, which is why he did not want him to publicize it extensively.
But hearing the soldiers' praise, he only felt ashamed.
This battle was a resounding victory, and it won't be long before the people of the north will know about it. They will surely praise the bravery of the soldiers and commend their commander for his skill in training troops.
But a large part of the credit actually belongs to the high priest, and he doesn't want to take credit for it.
Perhaps we should wait until we see the High Priest again and ask if we can spread his deeds, so that the people and soldiers will remember the High Priest's kindness.
He ordered everyone to take the bodies of the fallen soldiers back to the camp and bury them on the back mountain.
Everyone then got to work.
Chu Jiubian never expected to witness such a passionate and intense battle, but he finally gained a firsthand understanding of Jiang Shuoye's abilities.
He looked in the direction of the camera.
On the vast grassland, a young general, clad in silver armor, sat atop a tall horse, spear in hand, gazing at the fleeing Tatar army. Bloodstains splattered on his handsome, cold face only accentuated his ruthless and murderous aura.
He was indeed a brave and powerful general, and not reckless at all, but rather cautious and intelligent, with almost no weaknesses.
No wonder the court was wary of him; they were wary of not only the 80,000 troops of the Northern Desert Army, but also Jiang Shuoye himself.
Suddenly, Jiang Shuoye seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction.
Chu Jiubian met his gaze through the camera lens and couldn't help but smile.
They remain as vigilant as ever.
However, given the current state of the other party, it seems unlikely that they will easily fall asleep or relax. They might ask their subordinates to review the battle as soon as they get back.
"System, how can I remind him to go to sleep?" Chu Jiubian asked.
It's really troublesome that he has to be asleep or in a daze to enter the divine realm. If there's any emergency, he won't be able to notify or summon his followers immediately.
[Hello, host. This system provides a space teleportation service. You only need to spend 500 points to reach any believer, but the duration cannot exceed one minute.]
[Friendly reminder: This spatial teleportation service violates the rules of the three-dimensional world. The host may experience side effects such as dizziness and minor internal bleeding. These will automatically recover in two or three days, so there is no need to worry.]
Seize the young?
five hundred?
And there are so many side effects!
Chu Jiubian decisively replied, "No need."
Seeing his stinginess, the system added: "This system also provides a message transmission service, which can transmit your words to believers. Each message of no more than ten characters costs two points. For messages exceeding ten characters, an additional one point is charged for every three extra characters."
Chu Jiubian: "..."
They really seize every opportunity to accumulate points.
He might call believers into his dreams more often in the future, and send them messages from time to time, which would consume two or more points each time.
It's true that you have to spend money everywhere, but it's getting harder and harder to earn it.
No wonder the system doesn't issue tasks, because even if it doesn't, Chu Jiubian will try his best to earn faith points and then feed them to the system.
Do you have monthly or yearly subscription services?
This feature does not provide this type of service. Thank you for your understanding.
Okay, at least we can still contact each other.
"What if the believer wants to contact me?" Chu Jiubian asked.
[The host can activate the real-time monitoring function, which costs only 30 points per month. Once activated, the system can monitor the believer's status in real time. If a believer is in a life-threatening situation or needs to contact the host, the system will promptly notify the host.]
Now they know about monthly subscriptions.
Chu Jiubian said speechlessly, "I bought it."
This feature is so important, thirty points it is.
Jiang Shuoye naturally felt that familiar sense of being spied on, and his heart tightened involuntarily.
When did the High Priest appear?
Was the other side there to see the role of stirrups and saddles in actual combat?
No wonder he's a celestial being; his predictions are always so accurate.
However, the high priest would only come and leave each time, so he never had the chance to thank him in person.
Why doesn't he try to persuade her to stay now and ask to meet her?
I don't know if this might offend the gods.
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly felt the cheers of the soldiers around him stop, and there was only silence in his ears. Suddenly, a distant and ethereal phoenix cry rang out.
He subconsciously looked up and saw a phoenix with a long, bright golden tail flying down from the clear sky!
The divine bird, draped in five-colored rays of light, flew over and circled once above his head.
He heard the high priest's clear, cold voice echoing in his ears: "At noon, I will seek you in my dreams."
With its long wings flapping, the phoenix cried out as it flew toward the blazing sun and disappeared.
Jiang Shuoye was deeply shocked. When he came to his senses, he looked at the soldiers around him, but saw that they did not have any strange reaction and were still moving the bodies of the dead soldiers.
So only he could see that miraculous scene just now.
He was the only one present who was favored by God.
An indescribable excitement took root in my heart.
It was noon.
Jiang Shuoye glanced at the sun; there was still about half an hour left. He needed to hurry back to the military camp to sleep.
The high priest said he wanted to enter a dream, so naturally he had to fall asleep first.
I just don't know if he'll be able to fall asleep in his current excited state.
Chu Jiubian was also worried about this.
[Please rest assured, host. The images conjured by the system can calm the mind and soothe the spirit. Believers can enter a state of emptiness even if they cannot sleep, as long as they wish to dream.]
The system image just now transformed into a golden phoenix, and the gold dust falling from the phoenix has the effect of inducing dreams.
And it won't make people who don't want to sleep fall asleep, so it's a good thing.
These are all hidden features of the system, which is why they have become more and more perfect because they have been used by many people before.
Therefore, before him, the system must have followed quite a few other hosts.
The Causal System was its original name, but it was changed to the Infrastructure System after it was bound to Chu Jiubian, based on the path he might take in the future.
But ultimately, it was all to help Chu Jiubian correct some cause and effect.
But what exactly is wrong with this world?
Chu Jiubian sat on the divine throne in deep thought for a long time until someone fell from the divine realm, at which point he looked up.
Jiang Shuoye was already very skilled at it, and once again he jumped down from mid-air without giving Jin Feng a chance to catch him.
Chu Jiubian propped his cheek with one fist, watching the person emerge from the clouds.
"Jiang Shuoye has met the High Priest."
The young general bowed and saluted, still wearing his silver armor, exuding a chilling aura.
"Please sit down," Chu Jiu said.
"Yes." Jiang Shuoye was clearly excited, and his whole body was a little stiff as he sat there.
There was no reason to expect the gods to speak first, so Jiang Shuoye spoke again: "Thank you for the blueprints and books you gave me, High Priest. Our Northern Army's great victory over the Tatars today, thanks to these stirrups and saddles, is all thanks to you."
"It's just that someone asked me before, and I wanted to say your name but couldn't, which led others to misunderstand that it was my doing. I'm really ashamed."
Knowing that Chu Jiubian had been watching him closely, and fearing that the other party might misunderstand that he was taking credit for himself, he quickly explained.
"It's alright," Chu Jiubian said calmly. "If anyone asks again in the future, you may mention my name, but you must not mention anything about the Divine Realm."
He granted Jiang Shuoye the authority to spread his message, but he left the matter of the Divine Realm aside, as that was his biggest secret.
Jiang Shuo Ye Mang should be right.
Chu Jiubian paused for a moment before slowly speaking again: "You have passed the test and may become my disciple."
Jiang Shuo Ye Yi Xi.
To be accepted as a disciple of an immortal is an immense honor.
Seeing his reaction, Chu Jiubian continued, "From now on, you will refer to yourself as my subordinate. Are you willing?"
He spoke in a cryptic, rambling manner, like a charlatan spreading heresy, but Jiang Shuoye immediately rose and bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, High Priest. I am willing to serve you with my life!"
He didn't make this decision on a whim, but because he had truly witnessed Chu Jiubian's abilities.
If he can become a disciple of the immortal, he will surely be able to fight for more benefits for the Northern Desert Army and the people of Daning.
Of course, he wasn't an ungrateful, heartless person. Since the high priest gave him good things, he naturally wanted to repay him.
"I just don't know what I, a mere mortal, can do for you?" he asked respectfully.
As expected of someone of noble birth, he knows that both humans and gods need to exchange benefits. Right now, without Chu Jiubian even having to ask, people are already asking him for a "mission".
Chu Jiubian was very satisfied with his reaction, and naturally he would not hold back at this moment. He said in a low voice, "I am undergoing tribulation in this world. I need believers to have faith in me in order to achieve great success. You only need to have faith in me."
Tribulation Transcending?
Belief?
Jiang Shuoye understood immediately after thinking about it.
"Tribulations" are certain obstacles on the path to godhood; overcoming them will make one stronger.
To overcome this so-called "calamity," the believers' faith is required.
However, since the high priest came from outside the world, his reputation in this realm was not as great as that of the gods in the temples and monasteries, so no one knew of his prestige and he could not gather faith.
Moreover, the gods and Buddhas in those Taoist temples and monasteries need incense offerings and require faith, and the high priest also needs faith to prove that the other party is definitely a legitimate deity.
Even the high priest didn't need incense offerings, nor was he asked to build temples or monasteries. He only asked that more people know about Him and believe in Him. That was far too little!
He's practically a saint, incorruptible and virtuous!
Jiang Shuoye felt even more awe and became even more respectful: "Please rest assured, High Priest, I will handle this matter well."
This person is so sensible, and of good character; he's upright and grateful.
Chu Jiubian felt that the Northern Desert Army would definitely become his strongest support from now on.
However, the current strength of the Northern Desert Army is still not quite up to par, and it is far from the kind of "divine weapon" he desires.
The most obvious problem is the shortage and backwardness in combat readiness.
Chu Jiubian had just noticed the weapons used by the soldiers. Whether it was the spears of the Northern Desert Army or the long swords of the Tatar Army, they were actually very ordinary ironware, with porous iron and impurities.
This forging method resulted in weapons with very short lifespans and a low success rate.
Jiang Shuoye's spear was somewhat better, but it was still far inferior to the steel spears seen in later generations.
There were also iron stirrups. The one Jiang Shuoye used earlier was a bit deformed; he stepped on it and bent it while standing up to fight.
This also shows that the ironware at that time was of poor quality.
If only we could make steel.
Chu Jiubian remembered that in his original world, there seemed to be a steel-making technique during the Western Han Dynasty. After repeated forging, one could obtain "hundred-refined steel," which was on a completely different level from ironware.
If we could work a little harder, we might even be able to utilize the "steel casting technology"...
Chu Jiubian's thoughts wandered further and further, until he had built a skyscraper in his mind with steel bars before he finally stopped.
He looked down at Jiang Shuoye, who was already sitting quietly in a chair. Despite being a decisive and ruthless general, he looked like an honest and well-behaved student at this moment.
Chu Jiubian was deep in thought, so he waited quietly without interrupting, showing great tact and understanding.
These believers, one by one, are all very well chosen.
Good believers deserve good investments.
Chu Jiubian, in a good mood, said, "I have a method for refining steel, which I will now give to you."
He bought a book called "From Blacksmithing to Steel Quenching" from the system's online store and gave it to someone else.
Jiang Shuoye's eyes lit up as he looked at the books that had appeared out of nowhere on the table.
He didn't know what "steel" was, but with the precedent of stirrups and saddles, and the three military books and horse-breeding techniques that had benefited him greatly, he was sure this must be a good thing as well.
He first thanked Chu Jiubian for his kindness, and then carefully picked up the book.
Books have evolved to suit the times, both in terms of text and binding methods; only the paper is much better than it is now.
From forging iron to casting steel?
Jiang Shuoye understood as soon as he saw the name.
Steel should be a better weapon material than iron, and it was evolved from iron.
Such a wonderful thing must never be known to outsiders.
Even the four great families and seven vassal kings of Da Ning were kept in the dark as much as possible.
It seems he needs to find some suitable blacksmiths to build a workshop. These people must be discreet, reliable, and have a clean background.
Just as he was making his plans, he heard the high priest say, "This method of steelmaking can forge divine weapons. Do not let others know about it, lest it bring trouble."
Jiang Shuoye immediately stood up and bowed, saying, "Your subordinate understands."
"If you ever need anything from me in the future, you may simply recite my name and state what you wish to ask," Chu Jiubian added.
Jiang Shuoye immediately agreed with delight.
In that case, he can then proactively seek out the High Priest for anything he needs.
"Is there anything else you wish to report?" Chu Jiubian asked.
"I'm fine," Jiang Shuoye replied.
"Then go." Chu Jiubian said, and then had the system send the person out.
Inside the tent, Jiang Shuoye opened his eyes and immediately got up to look at the pillow. Sure enough, he saw the book on steelmaking.
He walked to the corner of the wall and pressed the button to open a hidden compartment.
The hidden compartment contained many letters, as well as the three books and blueprints that Chu Jiubian had given him before. He also put this new steelmaking method into it.
He'd put the workshop setup on hold for now; he needed to first clarify the matter of stirrups and saddles.
The high priest needs faith, so this matter should be spread as widely as possible.
Chu Jiubian also came out of the Divine Realm. Seeing that it was still early, he took a nap before getting up.
He didn't go to work in the morning, and in the afternoon he thought he would go to the yamen to take a walk and get to know the local officials again.
He instructed Xiao Xiangzi to prepare a sedan chair, and they proceeded towards the palace gates.
In the study in the west courtyard of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, Qin Chaoyang reported, "My lord, the young master has left the palace, and the secret guards have all followed him."
Qin Xiao was reviewing the memorials without even looking up.
Qin Chaoyang continued, "Those people have also made a move."
Qin Xiao paused, closed the memorial, stood up, and said, "You stay and guard His Majesty."
Qin Chaoyang agreed, but when he looked up again, his master was nowhere to be seen.
There was a soft sound behind him. Qin Chaoyang turned around and saw a man dressed in black and wearing a straw hat.
A black mask covered his face, and the man sat lazily in a chair with one leg propped up.
Qin Chaoyang was not surprised at all, and nodded slightly, saying, "You've arrived."
The man's voice sounded young, and he said with a smile, "Tell me about that Ninth Young Master."
Outside the palace.
Chu Jiubian boarded a sedan chair and traveled along Chang'an Street.
There was still some distance to the Six Ministries, and the wide road was always flanked by high palace walls, with tall, straight, and sturdy trees planted both inside and outside the palace walls.
Chu Jiubian was browsing the system shop in the sedan chair when he suddenly felt the sedan bearers slow down, and then stopped completely after only a few steps.
"Young master, someone is blocking the road," a sedan chair carrier said calmly.
Before he could finish speaking, Chu Jiubian heard the sound of an arrow whistling through the air and the clash of weapons coming from outside.
Someone intercepted the arrow that was shot from the shadows.
This place is not far from the imperial palace and the six ministries.
In broad daylight, on this wide and solemn official road, these people dared to attack officials appointed by the imperial court.
They didn't take the Imperial Guards seriously, nor did they care about the so-called imperial power.
This is what a prestigious family is like.
How arrogant!
Dozens of footsteps sounded from all directions, and dozens of assassins appeared, attacking the sedan chair in the center.
At that moment, twenty guards emerged from all directions, forming a circle to protect the sedan chair in the middle.
In close combat, the guards and assassins were already locked in battle.
None of them spoke; only the faint, chaotic sounds of footsteps, weapons, and the occasional thud of someone falling to the ground could be heard.
It's like a silent film.
Suddenly, several arrows shot towards the sedan chair.
The four sedan bearers closest to the sedan chair drew long knives hidden in a secret compartment and cut the arrows in half, preventing them from touching the sedan chair at all.
Arrows have a limited range, so those people must be nearby.
Chu Jiubian slightly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair at the window, took out the binoculars he had just bought, and sure enough, he saw several people squatting in the tree in the distance.
He originally thought these people would try to trick him into going to some remote place, or try to poison him, but who would have thought that these people were so lawless that they would directly confront him by force.
So you're going to use force, huh?
You want to kill him, huh?
A strange light flashed in Chu Jiubian's eyes.
This is an era where human life is as worthless as grass. As a powerful figure in the court, if someone wants to kill him, he can kill them back without bearing any responsibility.
[Host, are you sure you want to spend 99 points to purchase the glOCK19 pistol?]
"Sure."
It felt heavy in my hand, and cool to the touch.
Loading.
Chu Jiubian raised his hand, and the muzzle of his gun peeked out from the slightly open sedan curtain.
