Liver into a martial arts legend: starting with Embroidered Spring Blade

Chapter 10 The Difference Between Jianghu and the Imperial Court
The fight in the teahouse attracted the attention of many people, but because of the Jinyiwei's reputation for brutality, no one dared to get close to watch. They just stood in the distance, pointing and talking in low voices.

Pei Lun and the other two ignored the people and stared at the last battlefield in front of the teahouse entrance.

The fight between Shen Lian and Wen Lianggong was simply spectacular.

Both of them are at the second-rate level, with exquisite swordsmanship and extremely rich combat experience. Combined with the Jinyiwei's unique wind-chasing step, the game of moves is dangerous yet beautiful.

Jiang Xuan wondered if he could fight with the two of them at this moment.

But after observing for a while, he had to admit that there was still a big gap between his current strength and that of these two people.

It's not only about swordsmanship and body movements, but more about combat experience.

Unless he used a bow and crossbow to catch the enemy by surprise, he would definitely die within ten moves if he fought against any of these two people.

Perhaps, only when both my sword skills and my body skills have reached perfection can I fight him...

clang!
Suddenly, there was a loud crisp sound in the field. Wen Lianggong groaned and was repelled by Shen Lian. Then he was kicked in the chest by Shen Lian and fell out of the battlefield.

Obviously Shen Lian is better.

He is worthy of being the destined protagonist. His strength is unknown, but he becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent.

"Shen Lian!"

Just as Shen Lian was about to step forward to continue the fight, Pei Lun suddenly shouted, "You've been secretly collaborating with the rebels. First, you killed Eunuch Guo Zhen of the East Factory, then you set fire to the archives, broke into a prison to rescue people, and even killed General Ling Yunkai. These are already heinous crimes punishable by the death of nine generations of your clan. If you still want to resist, don't blame me, Pei, for being ruthless!"

Yin Cheng also sighed and advised, "Master Shen, don't make a mistake."

slam-la-

A group of Ti cavalry immediately stepped forward, aiming their bows and crossbows at Shen Lian, ready to fire.

Shen Lian paused, listening to Pei Lun listing his sins. His face changed slightly, and he quickly said, "I didn't!"

"Pei Lun, I only saved Beizhai. I didn't burn the archives, and I didn't kill Guo Zhen. Don't put all the blame on me!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in surprise.

Jiang Xuan's eyes moved slightly. He naturally knew that Guo Zhen was not killed by Shen Lian.

But if the fire in the archives was not done by Shen Lian, then it was... Lu Wenzhao?

"Humph!"

Pei Lun suddenly snorted coldly, "It's not up to you to decide whether this is true or not. If you've truly been wrongly accused, then surrender immediately and follow me to the Northern Division to explain clearly to Lord Xu. Tell me who was behind this. Perhaps, considering your meritorious service, he will consider reducing your sentence."

Upon hearing this, Shen Lian's expression changed.

"Shen Lian!"

At this moment, Hokusai on the side suddenly shouted: "You can't say it, even if you die, you can't say it!"

Shen Lian's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said angrily: "I don't know anything, what can I say? Didn't you say that your lover could be dealt with? Where is he now? Why didn't he come to save you?!"

"Oh!" Pei Lun sneered, glanced at Beizhai, and said, "Brother Shen, you are really confused. You don't even know who is behind this girl, and yet you are being used as a pawn. It's true that heroes can't resist the temptation of beauty!"

"It's just that you like her, but it seems she doesn't like you. In her heart, she only has the 'master' behind her!"

Shen Lian's face turned pale.

Pei Lun's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into his bloody heart again, making him feel excruciating pain.

Pei Lun sneered, no longer hesitated, and waved his hand, saying, "Take it!"

"Don't even think about it!"

Hokusai took two steps back, looking desolate and resolute. He suddenly pulled out a dagger from behind his back, pressed it against her white neck, and said through gritted teeth, "Sooner or later he will kill all of you eunuchs and avenge me!"

"No..." Shen Lian's face changed and he quickly reached out to stop her, but it was too late.

laugh!
The blade cut through the artery, and scarlet blood spurted out, staining Hokusai's clothes and cheeks red...

She slowly collapsed to the ground, looked at Shen Lian, a trace of apology flashed in her eyes, and murmured: "My name is Miao...Miao Xuan..."

"No!!" Shen Lian knelt on the ground in pain, his face full of grief and anger.

pain!
It hurts so much!
Pei Lun frowned slightly, but his eyes remained unchanged. He waved his hand and said, "Catch him!"

Several Jinyiwei immediately stepped forward and handcuffed Shen Lian. Shen Lian's face was blank and desperate, and he did not resist anymore, allowing the Jinyiwei to lock him up.

Pei Lun took out the Death Book and dipped the tip of his pen twice on the tongue of the captain standing nearby. He then began to record: "The traitor Beizhai, with no hope of survival, committed suicide on the spot; Shen Lian was captured alive; the rest of the traitors were all shot dead..."

"By the way, brother, what is the name of this woman?" Pei Lun turned around and looked at Jiang Xuan.

"Ding Baiying." Jiang Xuan said lightly.

"Oh."

Pei Lun suddenly realized something and continued to record with his head down: "Ding Baiying..."

Jiang Xuan looked at the tragic scene in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

A first-rate master and a dozen second- and third-rate masters were all killed so easily.

This is the difference between the underworld and the imperial court!

Jiang Xuan took a deep breath, and his determination to become stronger as quickly as possible and continue to climb the ladder became even stronger. Otherwise, no matter how high your martial arts skills are, facing this ferocious imperial organization, you will surely die!

……

Northern Pacification Office, Pacification Commissioner's Hall.

"grown ups!"

A lieutenant hurried into the hall, panting, "Your Excellency, there's news from East City. Pei Lun, a captain from the Southern Pacification Division, is leading his men to capture the rebels Shen Lian and Beizhai!"

"what?"

Xu Xianchun was a little surprised and stood up and asked, "News so soon?"

Lu Wenzhao, who was standing next to him, changed his expression.

He stood up suddenly, a flash of anxiety in his eyes, and said with a bow, "Sir, to prevent the rebels from escaping, why don't I also lead some people to reinforce them!"

Xu Xianchun glanced at him and said calmly, "The Nansi is arresting people, why are you in such a hurry?"

Lu Wenzhao lowered his head and said, "I... I also want to share your worries."

"Come on, wait!"

Xu Xianchun waved his hand and said, "The North and South Divisions are working together to find the person. Since they found him first, it's no big deal for you to help. If you don't know better, you might think you're trying to steal the credit."

Xu Xianchun paused as if thinking of something, then looked at Lu Wenzhao meaningfully and said, "Besides, I'm afraid you won't be needed for help. Lu Wenzhao, I really envy you for having two subordinates who know how to share your worries."

Lu Wenzhao was stunned for a moment: "Your humble servant...doesn't understand what you mean, sir."

"You'll soon understand."

Xu Xianchun said no more, turned around and sat back, waiting patiently.

Lu Wenzhao's expression changed, and he always felt a little uneasy.

"Report~!"

Soon, another captain came to report: "Your Excellency, Pei Lun, the captain of the Southern Division, has escorted the prisoner to the Imperial Prison and is requesting an audience outside the gate!"

Xu Xianchun waved his hand: "Let them in."

"Yes." The captain left.

After a while, footsteps were heard and four figures, one in front and three behind, strode in.

"Your humble servant Pei Lun, and the flag officers Jiang Xuan, Yin Cheng, and Wen Lianggong, greet you, sir!"

Lu Wenzhao's face changed and he stared at Jiang Xuan and Yin Cheng closely.

At this moment, he finally understood what Xu Xianchun meant.

Among the people who arrested the criminal, two of them were his men.

And he himself was totally unaware of this...

"Huh? One more?"

Xu Xianchun was a little surprised. He glanced at Wen Lianggong and asked, "Which captain are you from?"

Wen Lianggong was excited and stepped forward, bowing: "Your Excellency, I am a subordinate of Captain Xu of the rear office."

"Xu Panxing's people?"

Xu Xianchun nodded slightly and said with satisfaction: "Not bad, it seems that our Beisi is also full of talented people!"

As he spoke, he looked at Pei Lun and said, "Tell me, have all the rebels been captured?"

Pei Lun bowed solemnly, "Your Excellency, we have successfully captured the suspect Shen Lian. However, the traitor Beizhai, knowing he had no hope of survival, committed suicide at the scene. Furthermore, the other traitors, led by Ding Baiying, have all been killed!"

"Bang!" With a crisp sound, Lu Wenzhao crushed the teacup in his hand, and his fingers turned white.

Everyone looked at him.

Xu Xianchun frowned and asked, "Captain Lu, what's the matter?"

Lu Wenzhao was startled, but quickly suppressed his emotions and replied respectfully, "I... I have nothing to do. I just heard Master Pei say that the rebels were killed, and I am happy for you."

Xu Xianchun nodded in satisfaction, stood up, looked at Pei Lun and the other three, and said with a smile: "Not bad! Not bad! Hahaha..."

"I will immediately report to the East Depot and commend you four for your contributions. You four will all be handsomely rewarded!"

The four of them were overjoyed and quickly bowed: "Thank you, sir!"

"Defend day and night, it's hard to guard against house thieves!"

Xu Xianchun waved his hand and said, "Let's go. Take me to see Shen Lian, the little thief!"

"I accept my order from my humble position!"

Everyone left.

Lu Wenzhao stood there, finally unable to help himself, his whole body began to tremble slightly, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes: "Junior sister..."
