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

Chapter 21: Mutation! [Seeking follow-up reading]

After a while, Jiang Xuan arrived at the location the scholar mentioned.

The former residence of General Jinglu.

From a distance, the house looked dilapidated, with spider webs all over the walls and weeds growing around them.

There is a stone house not far away. Although it is also very dilapidated, it is very clean, which is in sharp contrast to the general's mansion. It is probably the scholar's home.

This dilapidated general's mansion doesn't look like it's suitable for living, but the scholar shouldn't lie.

Jiang Xuan originally wanted to climb over the courtyard wall to see what was going on, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

Although the intelligence said that Yang Huizhen did not know martial arts and was just an ordinary woman, Jiang Xuan felt that there was more to her than that.

Since Lu Wenzhao has already found out that Yang Huizhen is in Jingyun Town, and if she doesn't know martial arts, the investigators can just deal with her directly. Why did he have to send them hundreds of miles away?

So there is no need to alert the enemy for the time being.

Since the location has been determined, it is better to notify Xu Longqing and Chu Mo first. It will be safer for the three of them to act together at night.

But that scholar is a hidden danger.

He and Yang Huizhen are neighbors, and the two should have had contact with each other.

What if that guy comes back and meets Yang Huizhen and asks that question? Wouldn't that also alert the enemy?
Jiang Xuan frowned and thought for a moment. He wanted to deal with the scholar first, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary.

The scholar was just an innocent ordinary person, there was no need to get involved.

"Forget it, let's wait and go back."

Jiang Xuan shook his head and sighed, thinking that he was still too soft-hearted.

The price of being soft-hearted is only suffering for yourself.

Jiang Xuan looked around and found a secluded place to hide. He observed the movements in the general's mansion while waiting for the scholar to return home.

The clouds rose and fell, and before we knew it, it was dusk.

There was no movement in the general's mansion, but in the distance, a figure was slowly walking towards them on the dirt road. It was the scholar who sold calligraphy and paintings.

Jiang Xuan frowned and looked at the location of the general's mansion again.

There was no movement for the whole day. Is Yang Huizhen in there?

Seeing the scholar opening the door and going home, and it was getting dark, Jiang Xuan knew he couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately set off to return to the inn.

At this time, Xu Longqing and Chu Mo also came back and sat in the lobby waiting. When they saw Jiang Xuan coming back, they quickly stood up.

"Go back to the room and talk!"

Jiang Xuan waved his hand and led the two back to the room. He said in a deep voice, "Get ready. Move as soon as it gets dark!"

Before the two of them could speak, they were stunned when they heard the words, and then their faces suddenly showed joy.

"Sir, have you found it?" Xu Longqing asked.

Jiang Xuan nodded. "I've been watching for a whole day, but haven't noticed anything. Let's go out together tonight and test the waters. If there's an opportunity, we'll act decisively and leave immediately after we succeed!"

"Yes!" The two nodded solemnly.

Before it got dark, Jiang Xuan came to the lobby and asked the shopkeeper to prepare some food, which he quickly ate to replenish his energy.

Then he returned to his room, closed his eyes, and waited quietly.

When the night fell completely, Jiang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, picked up the sword beside him and stood up. He checked the double-arrow crossbow at his waist again, and after making sure there was no problem, he walked out the door.

"grown ups!"

Hearing the noise, Xu Longqing and Chu Mo from next door also went out at the same time.

"action!"

At the command, the three of them quickly went downstairs and headed to the general's mansion on foot.

The moon quietly climbed up the branches.

The three of them arrived at the gate of the general's mansion.

"Enter from the side!" Jiang Xuan had already made a good choice and knew where the wall was lower so that he could easily climb in without making any noise.

Arriving at the side corner of the main gate, Jiang Xuan looked up at the five-meter-high wall. After taking a deep breath, he tapped the ground with his toes and lightly soared into the air, standing on the wall. He then looked down at the two people below: "Hurry!"

Seeing Jiang Xuan climb over the wall so easily, Xu Longqing and Chu Mo looked at each other, both of them looked a little surprised.

During this period of time, they watched Jiang Xuan practice his body movements with their own eyes. It was clear that he had only achieved minor success in the past few days, but looking at Jiang Xuan's body movements that were as swift as a goose passing by without leaving a trace, it was obvious that he had already reached the major success level!
Moreover, even the Wind Chasing Step at the Great Perfection Realm cannot be performed so lightly.

Leaping four or five meters in the air without making any sound, this can probably only be done by someone with second-rate or higher martial arts skills.

After all, the Wind Chasing Step is just a light footwork, not a light skill, and its potential is always limited.

The two men were confused, but they knew that this was not the time to ask questions, so they also used the force to climb over the wall, but they still made some slight noises.

Fortunately, the yard was very large, and there were many insects chirping in the weeds, which masked their movements.

Jiang Xuan half-crouched, stood on the wall and looked around carefully, and soon locked the location.

There was a faint candlelight in a house to the east of the general's mansion, and faint sounds of conversation could be heard.

Jiang Xuan made a gesture and the three of them quietly moved over.

"Crack~" Just as they were about to reach the door of the candlelit house, a strange noise suddenly came from the night, sounding like a dead branch being stepped on.

The three of them froze, thinking something was wrong.

Sure enough, the next second——

"who?!"

Suddenly, a loud shout was heard from the room, and then the door suddenly opened. Several figures rushed out and looked over here vigilantly.

Jiang Xuan cursed inwardly and turned to look at Xu Longqing, who smiled awkwardly, "Sir, my Qinggong isn't very good..."

Jiang Xuan sighed in his heart. He had wanted to see the situation first, but since an accident had happened, there was no need to be sneaky anymore.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Xuan turned around to look at the dark figures in the yard and asked loudly, "Is Miss Yang in the yard?"

"It's you!"

Just as Jiang Xuan finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded from the courtyard, filled with surprise and anger.

"Huh? Qiu Moyan?!" Jiang Xuan's expression changed slightly.

He looked carefully, and with the moonlight illuminating them, he saw a slender figure holding a sword among the four people. It was the chivalrous woman, Qiu Moyan, who had saved them yesterday.

Qiu Moyan walked out from the shadows, his face grim. He stared intently at the spot where Jiang Xuan and the other two were hiding, and said coldly, "Come out!"

"Sir?" Xu Longqing and the others looked at Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan sighed, shook his head and walked out, saying helplessly: "Miss Qiu, I hope you are well."

"It's really you!"

Qiu Moyan raised the sword in his hand, pointed it at Jiang Xuan and the other two, and said coldly, "What are you doing sneaking here?"

"Senior Sister, do you recognize them?"

At this time, another young woman walked out from behind. Although she was wearing a simple white linen dress, it could not hide her slender figure and she had a cold and light temperament.

Needless to say, this woman was obviously the Miss Yang mentioned by the scholar, and the target of Jiang Xuan and his two companions' trip, Yang Huizhen, the daughter of Yang Lian.

But I never thought that this girl was from the same school as Qiu Moyan.

Qiu Moyan said coldly, "They are the three people I told you about yesterday."

"what?"

Yang Huizhen frowned slightly, and then her expression changed. She turned to look at Jiang Xuan and the other two and said coldly, "It seems you are not here to look for anyone!"

Jiang Xuan said helplessly, "We are indeed here to look for someone, but not a friend. We are here to look for you, Miss Yang."

"Looking for me?" Yang Huizhen frowned. "What do you want to see me for?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Suddenly, a deep, shrill laugh was heard.

sigh~
A dark figure flew up from the nearby courtyard wall, holding a spear and standing with his hands behind his back. He looked down at Yang Huizhen and the others and said with a smile, "Miss Qiu, Miss Yang, General Shi, General Lu, long time no see!"

Qiu Moyan's expression changed slightly, and he stared at the man closely: "Xuanbi Mountain, Xue Yanchuan!"

"Ms. Qiu has good eyesight, it's Xue!"

Xue Yanchuan laughed strangely, turned sideways, and finally revealed his true face.

This man was tall and slender, wearing black armor and holding a spear about eight feet long. He looked like a fierce general in the army, but his face was extremely ferocious and cold, and he had only one eye. He exuded a terrible evil aura.

Looking at the people in the courtyard, Xue Yanchuan shifted his gaze to Yang Huizhen and said with a smile, "Miss Yang, you still don't know their origins?"

"You know?" Yang Huizhen stared at him coldly.

"Ms. Yang, you are really... innocent and cute!"

Xue Yanchuan sighed, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll tell you."

As he said this, he glanced at Jiang Xuan and the other two, "The three of them are all Jinyiwei from the capital. They came to Jinglu Tunbao this time with orders to kill you!"

Jinyiwei? !

The expressions of several people on Yang Huizhen's side changed, and then they stared at Jiang Xuan and the other two, with murderous intent in their eyes.

"A running dog of the East Factory!" The middle-aged man next to Yang Huizhen spat.

Qiu Moyan also glanced coldly at Jiang Xuan and the other two, then turned his gaze to Xue Yanchuan: "What about you?"

"Xue Yanchuan, what are you doing here?"

"I?"

Xue Yanchuan's face showed a ferocious look, and he said: "Of course I am here to kill you too!"

slam-la-

As soon as Xue Yanchuan finished speaking, dark shadows suddenly appeared on the surrounding walls, all of them wearing armor and holding sharp weapons, and at the same time, the sound of bows and arrows being strung could be heard.

At first glance, it was crowded, there were no less than a hundred people!
