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

Chapter 3 Do you have the final say?

the next day.

As Jiang Xuan expected, as soon as he arrived at the yamen, he heard that Beizhai was not dead, and Shen Lian took the initiative to take responsibility.

And this guy is pretty cruel to himself.

In order to fabricate the facts, he stabbed himself in the shoulder and claimed that an accident happened last night. He was ambushed as soon as he entered the door and was injured by thieves, so he let Hokusai escape.

It is said that Lu Wenzhao was furious when he learned about this, and immediately ordered Ling Yunkai to take over the case and search the whole city for Hokusai.

The matter was thus exposed.

However, Yin Cheng, who knew the truth, was very puzzled.

"It's clearly just Hokusai, and he doesn't know any martial arts, so how could there be an ambush?"

"What on earth was Lord Shen thinking? He actually let the person escape?"

Jiang Xuan said calmly, "It has nothing to do with us anyway, so let's just pretend we don't know about it. Cousin, you should also watch your mouth."

"I understand." Yin Cheng nodded.

At this time, a captain came trotting up to the two men and said, "Master Yin, Captain Jiang, Lord Shen wants you two to go."

Hearing this, the two looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

coming!

"understood."

Yin Cheng responded, then moved closer to Jiang Xuan and whispered, "Just as you said, we both know nothing."

Jiang Xuan nodded.

Then, the two of them entered the yamen together.

When we arrived at Shen Lian's office, we saw Shen Lian sitting on a chair in uniform, his left hand wrapped in gauze with faint traces of blood seeping out of the gauze, and his face was a little pale, it really looked like that.

"Your humble servant greets you, sir." The two men pretended not to know and stepped forward to salute.

Shen Lian stood up and stared at the two of them calmly for a moment before saying, "What happened last night has nothing to do with you two. You two should keep your mouths shut and pretend nothing happened. Understand?"

Yin Cheng nodded quickly: "Don't worry, my lord. My cousin and I went home as soon as we finished our shift last night. I don't know anything!"

Shen Lian nodded, his expression slightly relaxed, and said: "Yin Cheng, you have been with me for quite some time. I will notify you first if there are any cases in the future, and I will also keep an eye out for you if there are any general flag vacancies."

"And you, your name is... Jiang Xuan, right? Do your best in the future and try to fill your father's shoes as soon as possible."

"Thank you, sir!" Yin Cheng's face immediately showed joy.

Jiang Xuan shook his head secretly. If you get involved in this matter, you can't even protect yourself. You'd better take care of yourself first.

However, he did not say much and thanked Yin Cheng together.

Then, the matter ended there.

Jiang Xuan followed Yin Cheng and continued to patrol the streets.

After finishing his shift, he deliberately persuaded Yin Cheng a few words, reminding him to drink less and keep his mouth shut, and then he hurried towards home.

As we walked along the street, Jinyiwei would pass by from time to time, posting portraits of Hokusai everywhere and searching for his whereabouts, making quite a big fuss.

It seems that Ling Yunkai really wants to improve.

Since it was none of his business, Jiang Xuan didn't bother to pay attention to it. It was just right for him to focus on practicing martial arts next.

However, just as he crossed an alley and reached the corner, and was about to reach his doorstep, Jiang Xuan paused.

Damn, is it such a coincidence?
Jiang Xuan cursed in his heart.

In the alley ahead, a woman was hiding stealthily in the corner, looking terrified. Who else could it be but Hokusai?

"You..." Hokusai was shocked to see someone coming to this remote alley. When he saw Jiang Xuan's face clearly, his expression changed suddenly.

She turned around and wanted to run, but this was a dead end, and at the end was Jiang Xuan's yard.

She had nowhere to escape, so she could only turn and look at Jiang Xuan, gritting her teeth and cursing, "Eunuchs! Dog officials!"

Obviously in her heart, Jiang Xuan was also a member of the eunuch party.

Of course, this is actually not wrong.

The current Jinyiwei was controlled by Wei Zhongxian alone, and even the commander-in-chief and the Northern Division Pacification Commissioner were Wei Zhongxian's adopted son.

Jiang Xuan ignored her and frowned in consideration.

To arrest or not to arrest?
If we catch him, it will be a great achievement, but there is a possibility that we will be involved in this trouble again.

If I don’t arrest him, this guy has been sent right in front of me, and you still dare to call me a eunuch?
Jiang Xuan stared at her coldly.

But after weighing the pros and cons, I chose the former.

The current situation is turbulent and the capital is in turmoil. If you are not careful, you will be crushed to pieces and become a victim of the power struggle. You can know this by looking at the ending of Shen Lian and others in the original drama.

Can't take any chances!

Never mind, just pretend you didn't see it...

Shaking his head, Jiang Xuan shifted his gaze and prepared to walk past Hokusai and go home.

stomping on...

But at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from behind, and a figure wearing gray and white tights and a black cloak also rushed into the alley.

"Miss Hokusai!"

Seeing Hokusai in the corner, the man seemed relieved and shouted out quickly.

But when she saw Jiang Xuan standing beside her, her expression suddenly turned cold again: "Eunuch Party!"

"..."

Jiang Xuan was speechless. The label of being a eunuch party could not be washed away.

This person was dressed like a male ranger and had a high ponytail, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was a woman disguised as a man.

There's no way, my chest muscles are really exaggerated and can't be hidden.

Ding Baiying's disciple, Ding Chong!

Jiang Xuan quickly guessed the identity of this person, probably coming to pick up Hokusai.

Sure enough, when he saw this person appear, Hokusai's face suddenly showed joy, and he hurriedly shouted: "Master Ding, be careful!"

"Don't worry, girl!"

Ding Chong nodded, glanced at the captain's uniform on Jiang Xuan, and said with disdain, "You think you can arrest people? You little eunuch, today is the day you die!"

Wow!

As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly lifted her cloak and grabbed a black gold round shield from behind her, and then pulled out a dagger from behind the shield.

"die!"

With almost no pause, the moment he drew out his sword, Ding Chong suddenly stepped forward, holding up his shield with his left hand and pointing his dagger with his right hand, and stabbed towards Jiang Xuan.

"Fuck! Wait, there's a misunderstanding..."

Jiang Xuan's face changed slightly, and he immediately withdrew, not wanting to fight her. Unexpectedly, Ding Chong's expression was stern, and he didn't even look at a small Jinyi officer. If he met him, he would kill him without hesitation. After all, the eunuchs deserved death.

stomping on...

In a moment, Jiang Xuan was forced into a corner with no way to retreat, but the cold and sharp blade was already coming towards him.

Helplessly, Jiang Xuan had to dodge sideways.

"Ding!"

The tip of the knife stabbed into the wall, making a crisp sound.

Ding Chong was slightly surprised, but did not hesitate. He turned the blade and continued to cut towards Jiang Xuan along the wall.

Hey, hey, hey...

Sparks suddenly flew off the wall.

Jiang Xuan retreated again, shouting, "Stop, I'm just passing by!"

"That must die too!"

Ding Chong snorted coldly. Seeing that his horizontal slash missed, he stomped his foot on the ground, jumped into the air, and kicked Jiang Xuan in the face with his right foot.

Jiang Xuan's face changed slightly. The distance was too close and he had no time to dodge, so he had to raise his right arm and hold it in front of him to block her kick.

boom!
With a muffled sound, Jiang Xuan retreated several steps. Before he could stabilize himself, a flash of a knife appeared in front of him.

"Too deceiving!"

Jiang Xuan gritted his teeth, refusing to back down, and raised his left hand holding the knife.

choke--

In the dim alley, a cold light flashed, like a silver moon rising into the sky, and the Embroidered Spring Sword was suddenly unsheathed.

The silver blade light created a semicircular arc, clean and sharp, slashing towards the oncoming blade and colliding head-on with it.

"clang!"

The blades collided, and the crisp sound of the collision resounded throughout the alley.

A huge force swept over, and Ding Chong's body was unstable. He was directly knocked back. He took four or five steps back before he could stabilize his body.

She looked up in astonishment and once again examined the young man in black in front of her. A hint of seriousness finally appeared in her eyes: "A mere captain, how could he have such swordsmanship?"

"die!"

Jiang Xuan shouted coldly. This time, he took the initiative and was equally ruthless.

He threw away the scabbard, took a few steps forward with the knife in both hands, and approached quickly with a strange but rhythmic pace, and slashed Ding Chong's head with a diagonal blow.

bass--

A sudden chill arose, and Ding Chong reacted quickly, immediately holding up the shield to protect her head, but Jiang Xuan suddenly burst out with great strength. Just as she raised her hand, a heavy knife hit the round shield. After a crisp sound, she was cut back several steps again and hit the wall next to her.

"you……"

Ding Chong turned around and was about to speak when a cold light approached again, rising from the bottom to the top, aiming at her vulva.

Shameless!
Ding Chong was shocked and angry, but he did not dare to hesitate. He immediately moved down with his shield to block the knife and keep some distance.

But Jiang Xuan didn't give her a chance to breathe. After his first move missed, he approached again with the 'Wind Chasing Step'. His cold knife was as fast as wind and thunder, and it attacked Ding Chong's right side.

The fifth move of Embroidered Spring Blade - Cutting the waist!
The blow was so fast and sharp that Ding Chong had his shield in his left hand and had no time to move back to defend himself. He could only continue to retreat and create distance, narrowly avoiding the blow that was meant to chop him around the waist.

laugh!
As soon as one knife was struck, another one came.

But seeing that Jiang Xuan's sword missed, he took advantage of the momentum to move his body, turned around and chopped down another sword. It was the eleventh move among the Thirteen Moves of Xiuchun: the Rotating Sword Move!
clang clang clang clang...

Ding Chong defended herself with her shield again, but was hit by five or six swords in an instant, and was forced to retreat repeatedly without even a chance to fight back.

Is this guy crazy?

Ding Chong was both angry and anxious. He had only chopped him twice and failed to hit him, but this guy kept biting him like a mad dog, not giving him any time to breathe.

But now she was being chopped continuously, and her blood was rushing back. She didn't even have a chance to breathe, nor could she speak. She could only bite the bullet and take the rotating blade style of the Embroidered Spring Knife.

Finally, after slashing thirteen or fourteen times in a row, Jiang Xuan stopped.

Ding Chong was able to catch his breath and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to call for a stop, but the next second, another powerful blow fell from above his head.

Ding Chong's pupils shrank and he quickly raised his shield to block.

"clang!"

There was a loud bang, and Ding Chong groaned. He was hit by the huge force of the knife and his body went limp, half-kneeling on the ground.

"Wait...wait, no more fighting!"

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ding Chong hurriedly shouted.

"You decide?"

Jiang Xuan spoke in a cold tone and kicked Ding Chong in the chest.

Ding Chong's face turned red, and he groaned in pain again. He was kicked several meters away and staggered backward.

The scene reappeared, and before she could catch her breath, a dark shadow was approaching rapidly in front of her, and with it came the icy blade that was emitting a chill.

Ding--

The blade slashed on the black gold round shield again, splashing sparks.

But this time, the blade spun closely against the shield, making a sharp sound.

Ding Chong thought it was not good. She glanced at the shield and her hair stood on end. She saw a cold light pass through the shield and pass in front of her eyes...

laugh--

Jiang Xuan held the knife in his backhand and stood still, with a little blood stain on the blade.

"Clang——" the shield fell to the ground.

Behind her, Ding Chong's body stiffened. She raised her hand and touched her neck. When she saw the blood-red spots on her fingertips, her pupils suddenly shrank and fear reflected in her eyes.

"you……"

Before she could finish her words, blood gushed out from her neck, blocking the rest of her words from her throat.

"Bang!" She opened her eyes wide, her pupils gradually dilated, she fell heavily to the ground, twitched twice, and then gradually became motionless.

The dim alley was instantly filled with dead silence.

The cold wind blew, freezing to the bone.

Hokusai stood in the corner, staring blankly at the scene. It took him a long time to react. His face suddenly changed, and he cried out in grief and anger: "Master Ding..."

stomping on...

At the same time, dense footsteps were heard outside the alley, and then a group of fully armed Jinyiwei rushed in.

The leader was none other than Ling Yunkai.

When they saw the scene in the alley, everyone was shocked and looked at each other. Then they looked up at the young man standing in front of them with a knife in his hand and an expressionless face. They couldn't help but feel a chill.
