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

Chapter 24 We Have No Choice

The atmosphere, which had just relaxed, became tense again.

Jiang Xuan and Qiu Moyan stared at each other from a distance, neither saying a word. There seemed to be a sharp electric current flashing in the courtyard.

"Uncle Lu..."

Suddenly a cry of grief broke the silence.

Everyone turned around and saw Yang Huizhen kneeling in front of the body of a middle-aged man in the corner, weeping and moaning.

This middle-aged man was Lu Ding'an, one of Yang Huizhen's two guards.

As for the other guard Shi Wenqiao, he was shot by arrows at the beginning of the battle and was lying at the door at this time, his life or death unknown.

"General Lu! General Shi!"

Qiu Moyan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly ran over to check on the two of them.

But the two men had been hit by several arrows and had multiple knife and gunshot wounds on their bodies. They were already dead at this moment.

Yang Huizhen looked sad: "Uncle Lu and Uncle Shi, they did this to protect me... woo woo..."

A trace of sadness also flashed across Qiu Moyan's eyes. He then took a deep breath and turned back suddenly: "It's all because of you!"

Stupid!
The sword tip turned, and Qiu Moyan stared coldly at Jiang Xuan and the other two, with murderous intent in his eyes.

Xu Longqing and Chu Mo's faces changed slightly. They quickly forced themselves to stand up, retreated to Jiang Xuan's side, and looked at her warily.

"A running dog of the eunuch party!"

Qiu Moyan gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for you, the two generals wouldn't be dead, and Xue Yanchuan wouldn't have brought people here. He Hu should have killed you directly the day before yesterday!"

Yang Huizhen also slowly put down Lu Ding'an's body, picked up the dagger on the ground, walked to Qiu Moyan, and confronted Jiang Xuan and the other two.

"Sir?" Xu Longqing looked at Jiang Xuan weakly.

Jiang Xuan took a deep breath, looked at the two women and said, "Do you think that you were attacked tonight because of us?"

"What else?" Qiu Moyan said coldly.

Jiang Xuan shook his head: "Have you ever thought about why the court sent us to kill Miss Yang, and why we knew you lived here?"

The two women were stunned.

Jiang Xuan sighed and said, "In what happened tonight, we are actually victims as well. I offended my superior, Lu Wenzhao, because of a case. In order to get rid of me, he sent me to kill Miss Yang."

"This Xue Yanchuan was most likely sent by Lu Wenzhao. Regardless of whether we completed the mission to kill Miss Yang or not, Xue Yanchuan would eventually get rid of the three of us."

"But even if Xue Yanchuan wasn't there, Miss Yang would still be dead."

"It was the intention of Wei Zhongxian, the head of the Eastern Depot, to kill Miss Yang. He already knew that Miss Yang was not dead, so he hid in the Jinglu Tunbao. If we don't complete the mission, the Eastern Depot will definitely send people again."

"Wei Zhongxian!" Yang Huizhen's eyes showed deep hatred.

"so what?!"

Qiu Moyan sneered, unmoved: "You are all running dogs of the East Factory. As long as you are a eunuch party, you deserve to die!"

Jiang Xuan shook his head: "If we were eunuchs, would we still be sent here to die?"

"In your eyes, the Imperial Guards are the court's lackeys and the East Factory's running dogs, but to us, it's just a job."

"My father is a Jinyiwei, so I am also a Jinyiwei."

"Since I'm a member of the Imperial Guard, I have to follow my superiors' orders. If I don't accept this assignment, I'll die. If I accept it, I'll also die. I have no choice."

Jiang Xuan looked at the two women calmly: "We just have different positions and destinies."

"I'm saying all this not because I'm afraid of death, but because I don't want to die in vain, feeling both wronged and aggrieved."

"You and Xue Yanchuan consumed at least 70% of your strength in the fight. Although I'm injured, I still have the strength to fight." "If you attack me now, I may not die, but you will definitely die."

"Once the imperial court knows you're still alive, the next person who comes won't be on the same level as us three."

Qiu Moyan said coldly: "Come one, I will kill one, the result is nothing more than death. Since you dare to go against the eunuch party, we have already made this preparation!"

Jiang Xuan sighed and slowly raised the long sword in his hand: "Then, come on."

"Senior sister!"

Yang Huizhen's face changed slightly, and she quickly grabbed Qiu Moyan.

"Junior sister?" Qiu Moyan frowned.

Yang Huizhen shook her head and said, "Senior Sister, he is right. Our real enemy is Wei Zhongxian. They are just pawns being used. As long as Wei Zhongxian is alive, it will be useless for us to kill them. Instead, it will attract stronger enemies."

After that, she turned around and looked at Jiang Xuan and asked, "So what are you going to do?"

Jiang Xuan took a deep breath and said, "It's very simple. Let's end this matter here. There's no need for both of us to suffer losses."

"From today onwards, you will hide your identities and leave this place. When I return to the capital, I will report to the higher-ups that you are dead."

Qiu Moyan said coldly: "How can we trust you?"

Jiang Xuan said calmly, "I have no choice, and neither do you."

"If we release you, we will also be taking risks. If you are exposed in the future and the court knows you are still alive, the three of us who deceived our superiors will also be guilty of the death penalty."

Hearing this, Qiu Moyan and Yang Huizhen fell silent.

For a moment.

Yang Huizhen's eyes flickered as she looked at Jiang Xuan, then glanced at Xu Longqing and Chu Mo beside him and said, "You think so, what about them?"

Jiang Xuan turned around and looked at the two of them.

Xu Longqing quickly assured: "It's all up to you, sir. I will keep my mouth shut!"

Chu Mo frowned and hesitated: "Sir, this is against the rules. If we let them go, what will we do if the matter is exposed..."

laugh!
Chu Mo's body froze, and he looked at Jiang Xuan in disbelief, stretching out his hand: "You..."

Bang!
Before he could finish his words, he covered his neck and fell down. After struggling for a few times, he gradually became motionless.

Xu Longqing's eyelids twitched, and he felt extremely relieved.

Damn, luckily I expressed my opinion in time!
Chu Mo is such an idiot. Doesn’t he know that there is a top-notch master on the opposite side?

The master had a lot of trouble convincing that woman and found a compromise so that they wouldn't have to fight to the death, but you're still standing here being indecisive and meaningless.

He deserved his death!

Jiang Xuan's face was calm, as if he had just killed a chicken. His expression did not change at all. He turned around and looked at Qiu Moyan and Yang Huizhen again.

The two women looked a little shocked at this time. They looked at Chu Mo's body, then looked at Jiang Xuan, and couldn't help feeling a little cold in their hearts.

This man, who looked younger than them, was cold-blooded and decisive, which was really scary!
After a moment of silence, the two women looked at each other and nodded.

Yang Huizhen took a deep breath and said, "Okay, we'll do as you say. After tonight, we will remain anonymous and never reveal that we're still alive."

Jiang Xuan felt relieved and nodded, "We are the same."

Yang Huizhen was only barely second-rate and was not a concern, but Qiu Moyan was extremely skilled in swordsmanship, so if a fight really broke out, he would not be able to win.

If you can avoid taking action, it is better not to do it.

As for the hidden dangers that this plan may leave behind, we can only find a way to solve them later.
