Open up and break into another world

Military discipline is like a mountain!

Zhai Ba and Lin Muqing hadn't expected that the First Prince would pay attention to such a small matter here; however, they both knew what these four words meant—military discipline is like a mountain, so Xu Kai, who disobeyed military orders, must be severely punished according to regulations!

Immediately, Zhai Ba and Lin Muqing knew what to do.

They were from the First Prince's faction, so of course they had to resolutely execute the First Prince's orders.

If they executed the order, even if something happened, the First Prince would help them bear it; but if they didn't execute it, they would have to accept the First Prince's wrath in return.

Thinking of this, Zhai Ba straightened his back all of a sudden. He looked at Wen Shuai like a blockhead: "Third Prince, are you trying to interfere with military affairs?"

It must be said that Zhai Ba's rhetorical question was very skillful.

A prince interfering in military affairs is a major taboo. If Wen Shuai dared to answer "Yes," he would definitely not be able to handle it, and the inheritance of the throne would have nothing to do with him!

Wen Shuai narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhai Ba.

Zhai Ba was getting goosebumps from being watched. He could feel Wen Shuai's anger—the Third Prince's anger was not something a small centurion like him could bear.

However, with the First Prince's order in front of him, he had no choice but to obey. Because if he didn't listen to the First Prince, the consequences would be even worse.

Suddenly, Wen Shuai smiled: "Interfering in military affairs, what a big hat, it's really going to scare me to death!—But Zhai Ba, I, Wen Shuai, have some status in the capital, if I really want to interfere in military affairs, is your little place qualified for me to interfere?"

"Then I don't know what the Third Prince means!" Zhai Ba said, "It doesn't seem inappropriate for me to punish a soldier who disobeys military orders, right?"

"I won't beat around the bush with you!" Wen Shuai sneered, "Hand Xu Kai over to me, consider it my request to you, and also consider it me owing you a favor!"

A favor from Wen Shuai!

Zhai Ba couldn't help but be moved.

To be honest, a favor from Wen Shuai was indeed incredibly attractive to Zhai Ba, a chiliarch who was neither high nor low. However, with the First Prince's deterrence, dare he accept this favor from Wen Shuai?

He dared not!

"The Third Prince can't compete with the First Prince. In the capital, only by closely following the First Prince's steps is the right thing to do!"

Thinking of this, Zhai Ba returned to his official business-like face: "Third Prince, the military has its own rules; Xu Kai violated military regulations, so he should be severely punished. I'm sorry I can't do you this favor! If there is nothing else, Third Prince, please leave!"

"Impudent!"

"Bold! How dare you speak to the Third Prince like this!"

Wen Shuai's guards were extremely angry. If this wasn't the Yun Qi Guard's base, they would have directly captured Zhai Ba.

"Boss, let's * * * * him!" Sun Ji couldn't bear it any longer.

Xu Ming shook his head, and then stepped forward.

Zhai Ba seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and was about to laugh wildly, but saw Xu Ming take out a stack of things.

This thin stack of paper seemed inconspicuous; however, Zhai Ba accidentally caught a glimpse of the pattern and was stunned.

"Ten thousand taels of gold?" Zhai Ba looked at it in surprise, "It seems that each one is worth ten thousand taels, this stack must be four or five hundred thousand taels!"

Xu Ming's words confirmed Zhai Ba's thoughts: "Here are five hundred thousand taels of gold, as the price for Xu Kai's disobedience of military orders, and also as me making a friend with you!"

Five hundred thousand taels of gold to redeem a Xu Kai who is only at the third level of outer training?

Everyone present looked at Xu Ming's actions in surprise.

Five hundred thousand taels of gold is undoubtedly an astronomical figure for ordinary martial artists; even for Zhai Ba, the chiliarch, and Lin Muqing, the rich second generation, it is a huge fortune that is difficult to obtain. People like Zhai Ba and Lin Muqing have never possessed such a huge fortune in their lives.

And now, five hundred thousand taels of gold is only for redeeming a Xu Kai who is only at the third level of outer training?

Is it worth it?

It must be known that five hundred thousand taels of gold is more than enough to buy ten thousand obedient slaves who are at the third level of outer training!

Is it worth it? Of course it is!

What is five hundred thousand taels of gold? Xu Ming doesn't recognize money, he only recognizes one sentence—Xu Kai is my brother!

With a cheat in hand, Xu Ming has a way to earn more gold; however, once a brother is lost, it cannot be recovered!—Using wealth that can be reacquired to exchange for brother Xu Kai, why wouldn't Xu Ming do it?

At this time, even Wen Shuai looked at Xu Ming in surprise, but in his heart, he recognized Xu Ming even more, and was even more determined to befriend Xu Ming as a brother.

Zhai Ba's breathing gradually became a little heavy. Wealth moves people's hearts, and five hundred thousand taels of gold were in front of him, which had deeply shocked him!

Zhai Ba knew that as long as he nodded, five hundred thousand taels of gold would be at his fingertips!

"With this gold, I can immediately escape from the Yun Qi Guard, away from the capital, and live the rest of my life happily in a small city that no one knows about!" Zhai Ba couldn't help but think.

With Zhai Ba's age and talent, wanting to go further in martial arts is really hopeless to be honest; and with his cultivation, wanting to go further on the road to becoming a general is equally hopeless—with his late-stage inner training cultivation, it is actually very difficult to be a chiliarch, and it is impossible to be promoted to a lieutenant general.

"If I can have five hundred thousand gold, why shouldn't I live out my life in a dashing way?" Five hundred thousand taels of gold is enough for Zhai Ba to buy three thousand beauties, and then find a small city to be his local emperor.

Suddenly, Zhai Ba's mind flashed across the First Prince's gloomy face.

"No!" Zhai Ba was startled, "If I betray the First Prince, even if I hide in the deep mountains and old forests, I may not be able to survive. How is it possible to find a small city to live a happy life!"

If you hide in the deep mountains and old forests, what's the use of more gold? Moreover, even if you hide in the deep mountains and old forests, whether you can survive is still unknown!

After struggling for a while, Zhai Ba looked at the gold notes with incomparable heartache, as if he had lost five hundred thousand taels of gold. Then, his voice was sonorous: "Military discipline is like a mountain!"

"You…" Xu Ming didn't expect that Zhai Ba would make such a choice after being conflicted for a while.

After being silent for a moment, Xu Ming said coldly: "You have to think clearly—since I have taken out these five hundred thousand taels of gold, then either put it in your hands, or put it in… Hidden Assassins!" Saying this, Xu Ming glanced at Lin Muqing intentionally or unintentionally, "I think, this money should be enough to buy two lives!"

The two lives referred to were naturally Zhai Ba and Lin Muqing.

"You… you dare to threaten me!" Zhai Ba didn't know if he was frightened or angry, but his finger was pointing at Xu Ming and trembling.

Lin Muqing's face turned pale—if Xu Ming really took so much gold to the Hidden Assassins to put a bounty on himself, then he would probably only be able to hide in the Lin family and never come out to survive!

Hidden Assassins, a killer organization that is enough to make anyone in the upper class of the Flying Cloud Kingdom change color.

Of those who have a mission from the Hidden Assassins on them, only one in ten can survive!

"You have thought about it!" Xu Ming stretched out his hand like this, holding the five hundred thousand taels of gold.

In fact, Xu Ming's heart at this time was like a volcano erupting; if this wasn't the Yun Qi Guard, he would have beaten Zhai Ba half to death first, how could he have taken out so much gold to negotiate here.

Zhai Ba's finger trembled for a long time, suddenly, he put down his hand, and a hint of self-deprecating smile flashed across his face: "You are forcing me? It's useless for you to force me, things have developed to this point, I have no choice! Xu Kai must die! Even if you want to go to the Hidden Assassins to put a bounty on me, he must die!—And this, can't blame me, it's all because of you!"

"Because of me?" Xu Ming was annoyed—you designed to frame Xu Kai, now that I have taken out such great sincerity, you still refuse to let it go, and you still want to blame me?

"Of course it's your fault!" Zhai Ba laughed hysterically, "Who doesn't want five hundred thousand taels of gold? But to blame, you can only blame you for offending someone you shouldn't offend; and Xu Kai is a little warning that person gave you! Not to mention five hundred thousand taels, even if you take five million taels, fifty million taels, I dare not want it—money is good, but you have to have a life to spend it!"

Offended someone he shouldn't have offended?

Without guessing, Xu Ming knew who it was.

Who else could make Zhai Ba ignore the Third Prince Wen Shuai, ignore the five hundred thousand taels of gold, except for the First Prince Wen Man!

"So…"

Zhai Ba was about to say something to formally announce Xu Kai's fate; but suddenly, the faces of him and Lin Muqing became very wonderful.

Zhai Ba and Lin Muqing simultaneously received a voice transmission, a voice transmission from the First Prince.

The voice transmission was obviously extremely urgent, even with a hint of panic: "Immediately! Release! Xu Kai!!!!!!!"

Zhai Ba and Lin Muqing looked at each other—First Prince, what are you doing? Didn't you just send four words "Military discipline is like a mountain", how did it turn into "Release him immediately" in the blink of an eye?
