American Comics: BOSS Invasion

Ingenious Scholar Zhu Cong, the second of the Six Freaks of Jiangnan, was second only to Ke Zhen'e in martial arts.

His best skill was 'Ingenious Hands Emptying,' and he usually liked to show off his knowledge. His behavior also carried the air of a scholar. Added to that, he had a beard, making Zhu Cong the most refined and elegant among them.

This man was meticulous, quick-witted, skilled in martial arts, and possessed the art of 'Ingenious Hands Emptying,' making him perfect for gathering information.

No sooner said than done, he left the others in the restaurant to continue eating and drinking while Zhu Cong went downstairs.

About an hour later, Zhu Cong returned with a grave expression.

They were old brothers and very familiar with each other. Seeing their Second Brother's face, the rest of the Six Freaks felt a thump in their hearts.

Han Baoju couldn't help but ask, "Second Brother, what's the situation?"

Zhu Cong plopped down, picked up a cup of tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

He shook his head and sighed softly, "The Six Doors, what a Six Doors! Eldest Brother, we truly underestimated it!"

"What do you mean?"

"We've lived in the desert for over a decade, unaware of the changes in the world. The Great Song Dynasty is no longer what it was a decade ago.

And the fundamental reason for this change is the emergence of the Six Doors.

This Six Doors is extraordinary. Its headquarters are in the capital, independent of the Cabinet and the Six Ministries, reporting directly to the Emperor. It specializes in apprehending criminals and investigating illegal activities throughout the land. Its power is astonishing."

"This Six Doors divides the land into nine circuits, each with thirteen halls. Each hall has three thousand Swift Wind Constables and tens of thousands of secret agents. The intelligence network crisscrosses and covers the entire land!"

The others gasped upon hearing this.

Zhu Cong smiled wryly, "That's not the most serious thing. Even if the Six Doors has great power, we can't just back down here. Just in Zhangjiakou, there are more than 500 Swift Wind Constables."

Han Xiaoying said, "Only 500 or so people, it shouldn't be too troublesome, right? After all, they have to manage the security of the entire Zhangjiakou. There won't be too many people gathered in one place. As long as we are careful, rescuing that little brother shouldn't be difficult!"

"Seventh Sister, you're wrong! Swift Wind Constables are different from ordinary yamen constables. They all have martial arts skills, and each one is quite skilled!"

Zhu Cong glanced at Guo Jing and said, "I've already inquired about the situation that day. The constable who arrested that little brother was just an apprentice. Xing Butou, who sat there drinking tea from beginning to end, is the real Swift Wind Constable.

Jing'er, you've met Xing Butou, what do you think of his martial arts?"

Guo Jing thought for a moment, "His aura is strong, his inner strength should be considerable, and his movements are very agile and silent. He should be an expert!"

Ke Zhen'e frowned, "Second Brother, just say what you want to say!"

"Yes, Eldest Brother!"

The room fell silent instantly. The others looked at each other, somewhat in disbelief.

They believed that the Six Doors established by the imperial court had many people and great power.

But gathering so many experts in one breath sounded like a fantasy.

"Eldest Brother, this matter needs careful consideration!"

The others remained silent, waiting for Ke Zhen'e to make a decision.

After a while, Ke Zhen'e suddenly asked, "Have you found the Six Doors prison?"

Zhu Cong smiled wryly, "I've found it. It's not far from here, but it's heavily guarded with high walls and large courtyards!"

Ke Zhen'e leaned on his crutch, stood up, and said in a deep voice, "Brothers, we've lived in the desert for over a decade and have become disconnected from the Central Plains. Since that's the case, why not take this opportunity to test the Six Doors?

Let's see if this tiger is real or fake?

Martial arts have been passed down for hundreds of years, and true experts never stoop to being the court's lackeys. Second Brother's words are too alarming. I think it's likely that the court is deliberately exaggerating it, and there must be a trick to it.

In any case, the Six Freaks of Jiangnan are not cowards who retreat in the face of difficulty.

No matter how dangerous the Six Doors prison is, we brothers will break into it today!"

The Six Freaks of Jiangnan stood up and said in unison, "We respectfully obey Eldest Brother's orders!"

Han Xiaoying was a little worried about Guo Jing and said, "Eldest Brother, Jing'er is still young, why not…"

"He's going with us. We can protect him for a while, but not for a lifetime. Some things, he has to face himself."

Han Baoju also advised, "Seventh Sister, you're overthinking it. It's good for Jing'er to gain some experience!"

Seeing that several elder brothers agreed, Han Xiaoying said nothing more, but reached out and patted Guo Jing's shoulder, signaling him to be careful.

Once the group made up their minds, they didn't linger.

Zhu Cong and Quan Jinfa immediately went out to prepare various items. They needed to prepare everything, such as hidden weapons and night clothes.

Zhu Cong had already explored the surrounding terrain and memorized where to buy what he needed.

The two only went out for a short time and prepared all the necessary items.

The group of seven changed into night clothes and quietly waited for the third watch of the night before heading to the Six Doors prison.

They all had martial arts skills, making it easy for them to move through houses and over walls.

Like flying, they ran to the high wall of the Six Doors prison. Zhu Cong looked around, suddenly slapped the wall with his palm, and instantly rose up, somersaulting in the air, easily flipping over.

As soon as Zhu Cong landed, Ke Zhen'e's ears twitched. He stomped his foot fiercely and jumped over the high wall, landing right next to Zhu Cong.

The others cooperated with each other and flipped over one after another.

The courtyard was extremely quiet, with only lanterns emitting light.

The enemies were hidden in the bushes, watching the entrance from afar. Two constables with sabers stood guard with high spirits.

Ke Zhen'e listened intently, waved his hand, and threw out a few iron pellets, striking the constables' acupoints in mid-air, directly immobilizing them.

Zhu Cong led the group of seven in quickly, one after another. As expected, the Six Doors were extremely cautious, and there were not many guards inside the prison.

Ke Zhen'e used iron pellets to clear the way, and they proceeded almost unimpeded.

The group entered the underground prison area very smoothly.

They lightly swept past several prison cells. Guo Jing immediately saw Huang Rong lying in a prison cell.

Overjoyed, he rushed up and whispered, "Little brother, little brother, are you alright? I've come to save you!"

Huang Rong suddenly looked up and saw Guo Jing suddenly appearing in front of her. First, she was overjoyed, then her eyes showed horror.

"Why did you come? This is the Six Doors prison! Leave quickly! If others find out, it will be a terrible crime!"

Guo Jing asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly…"

"Suddenly become timid, right? That's because you don't know the terror of the Six Doors. You should leave quickly, take your friends and leave quickly, or it will be too late!" Huang Rong said anxiously.
