That night, Rong 'er didn't say a word to me again, causing me to be snubbed a few times. I felt strange in my heart, not knowing what words had offended her. He tossed and turned the entire night, unable to fall asleep, so he got up and sat cross-legged to meditate.

At dawn, I entered the palace and waited in the study room. Not long after, Kang Xi arrived. When he saw me, he said,"We're going to do something big.”I said,"Working for the Emperor is a great courage."”Kang Xi paused for a moment and said,"Oboi is bold enough to offend his superiors. He has long been plotting against us. Today, we will seize the opportunity to capture him while he enters the palace to report to the emperor."”"That's great!" I said. "This old thief doesn't have the Emperor in his eyes. I've long wanted to deal with him. Today, with you backing me up, what do I have to fear? It's just that this fellow's martial arts are strong, and Hai Dafu has been coughing so badly these few days. I'm afraid that with our combined strength, we might not be able to take him down."”I didn't dare to say that Hai Dafu wasn't willing to help, afraid that he would know that I already knew his plan.

When Kang Xi heard that Hai Dafu was seriously ill, he couldn't help but reveal a hesitant expression. In the blink of an eye, he returned to his normal state and said,"Since Eunuch Hai is sick, we won't ask him to participate in this matter. Go and pick twelve young eunuchs from the cloth storeroom to serve him. Later, when he comes here to discuss matters, I will use the cup as a sign. You and the young eunuchs will go up and take him down.”

Although I knew his plan, I still pretended to be excited and said,"It's indeed a brilliant plan. However, Ao Bai's kung fu is so high, and the twelve eunuchs haven't learned it for long. This matter might not succeed. Why don't we call sixteen of them and a few warriors from the cloth warehouse? The warriors from the cloth warehouse are ostracized by Ao Bai's subordinates outside and hate him very much. When Ao Bai comes, everyone will pretend to be wrestling. Once you use the secret signal, they will attack together. This way, you will be more confident.”

Kang Xi didn't seem to know that the relationship between the cloth warehouse and Ao Bai was so bad. He was very interested when he heard what I said and quickly asked about it. I told him that Zhang Debiao and his gang went to ask for merit but were suppressed by Ao Bai. Kang Xi was overjoyed and said,"That's wonderful. I didn't know who in the palace wasn't the one who was waiting to worship, so I found some new eunuchs to do things. Now with the warriors in the storeroom, things are much easier. Call Zhang Debiao and five warriors. Don't tell them yet. I'll explain when they come.”I agreed and was about to leave when Kang Xi stopped me again. He took out a dagger and handed it to me."You and I each take a dagger. If we really can't defeat him, we can only risk our lives.”I took the dagger and inserted it into my boots. We looked at each other and shook hands. We nodded. I took a deep breath and turned to go to the cloth warehouse.

After seeing Zhang Debiao, he first asked him to choose sixteen young eunuchs who were well trained, and then asked him to choose five martial artists with the best skills. The group then rushed back to the study. Zhang Debiao saw my nervous expression and thought that the person who killed Shi Song had been exposed. He asked me a few times and I told him that it was fine. I only said that the emperor wanted to play wrestling and asked him to wait on him. Only then did Zhang Debiao relax.

In the study, Kang Xi took out a plate of ingots, each about fifty taels, and said to the eunuchs,""I want you to practice martial arts. I don't know if any of you are lazy. Today, we will do an inspection. Later, a high official will come. When you see that I broke the cup, go and catch him together. If you lose, hmph, I will kill all of you.”The eunuchs repeatedly agreed.

Then, he called Zhang Debiao and the others behind the screen and said in a low voice,"Today, the few of you will follow me to take the bow.”The few warriors were shocked, but they did not seem to be afraid. It seemed that these martial artists all had this bad habit. No matter if they had the ability or not, they would not be convinced by anyone. They were actually not afraid of an expert like Ao Bai. And he seemed a little excited. The warriors knelt down together and said,"I will do my best to serve the emperor. I will not disgrace the emperor's orders."”Kang Xi was very satisfied with their reaction. He looked at me, nodded, and said to them,"You all hide behind the screen. If the eunuchs are no match for you later, come out together and take Ao Bai down.”The warriors kowtowed and accepted the task.

Kang Xi then returned to his desk, picked up a book, and started reading. I stood at the side, trembling with nervousness. My palms and feet were covered in sweat, and I was very dissatisfied with myself. Although I had Wei Xiaobao's body, I had lived for more than 20 years. I had experienced many things and had killed a few people. I didn't expect that I would still be afraid at this critical moment. It seemed that I really wasn't someone who could do big things.

After a long while, the guard outside the door reported that Ao had come to pay his respects. Kang Xi sent Ao in. As soon as he entered, Kang Xi smiled and said,"Ao Shaobao, I'm watching the eunuchs wrestle. You're an expert here, so why don't you come and take a look?”"The Emperor likes to watch wrestling," Ao Bai said happily.”

Kang Xi smiled." Little Gui Zi, send the guards outside far away, lest the Empress Dowager hears about it and forces me to study again."”

I went out to pass on the message to the guards. The guards respectfully retreated. I saw that they had gone far away before returning to the house. At this time, Kang Xi had already ordered the sixteen eunuchs to start catching the couple and throwing them. Kang Xi looked at the field and smiled as he picked up his teacup. I suddenly felt my head heat up. Damn it, I'm going to do it. I'll go all out. At most, I'll die. If I can survive, Xiao Lian, Rong 'er, Shuang' er, and Ah Ke will all be mine. I'm still waiting to rob this old thief Ao Bai. As the saying goes, wealth comes from danger. Old logic is not wrong. Such a good opportunity must not be missed. For a moment, he forgot his fear.

Kang Xi and I looked at each other and I nodded. Kang Xi loosened his grip and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

When the 16 eunuchs heard the signal, they pounced forward at the same time. Some hugged their waists, some pulled their legs, and some pulled their arms. They did their best. Ao Bai was stunned. He didn't know why, but when he saw the Emperor smiling at him, he thought the Emperor was playing with him. He laughed and said,"I'm afraid these few eunuchs won't be able to defeat me.”He raised his arm and threw the two eunuchs out. As soon as my arm was free, two eunuchs who didn't squeeze in rushed up and hugged me tightly. I saw that this was a rare opportunity, so I ran behind him and rose into the air. My palms carried internal energy and hit his temples. My palms seemed to hit the wall. This guy's head was really hard. My hands immediately went numb. The judge might ask at this time, Why is my hand numb? F * ck, even if you hit me, you'd still be numb.

Ao Bai didn't fall after being hit by my killer. What kind of acupuncture is this? My hand is almost swollen, but he's still standing. Ao Bai shook his head. I quickly hit his Dazhui acupoint again. After this hit, my hand really swelled. Ao Bai suddenly turned around and threw the eunuch who was wrapped around him to the ground. Seeing Ao Bai turn around, I rubbed my hand and hit the Shanzhong acupoint. Ao Bai's body shook, but he didn't fall down. Instead, he became energetic and roared. He punched at me. I bent down and hit his waist. I had hit the fat warrior in this position and knocked him to the ground. Maybe Ao Bai could not bear the pain and be subdued. Unexpectedly, Oboi was tall and big. He leaned forward slightly and grabbed my collar. He lifted me in front of him with one hand and shouted,"Little thing, what are you doing?" My face was only 0.03 centimeters away from his angry eyes, and I was scared out of my wits.

Oboi suddenly let go of my hand and turned around. I fell to the ground and saw a dagger stuck in Oboi's back. It was the one hidden in Xiao Xuanzi's boot.

Kang Xi finally made his move.

Seeing this, I shouted,"De Biao, show yourself!"”

**********************************************************************

Ao Bai laughed coldly and said," These kids have been jumping around for a long time, but they still haven't hurt me. I haven't made a move yet. If any of you can throw a few notes to cheer me up, I'll put on a martial arts show and let everyone see blood." If you like to collect them and watch them slowly, then I will capture these children and torture them every day. I guarantee that there will be wonderful programs for you to watch every day.”
