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

Chapter 36 Newly appointed, General Lu Jianxing

[Martial Arts: Embroidered Spring Sword Technique (Perfect)]

【Progress: 0/5000】

Jiang Xuan looked at the system panel with a flickering gaze.

After the swordsmanship reached perfection, the system progress did not disappear, but increased to five thousand points.

This means that perfection is not the limit of swordsmanship and it can continue to improve.

Perhaps, when the progress is complete, you will be able to practice the legendary sword moves and become a top master?

"Anyway, I don't have any internal energy techniques at the moment, and my energy isn't strong enough to break through the Ren and Du meridians, so I'll just try practicing for now."

Jiang Xuan shook his head and made a decision.

His current strength is barely enough. After his sword skills are perfected, he can defeat dozens of armored soldiers even in the army with this sword skill alone.

If he were to encounter the same situation as Lu Wenzhao and his men attacked him half a month ago, and if he combined his advanced body movements and archery skills with his own strengths, Jiang Xuan would be confident that he could easily kill them all.

"In addition, you can continue to practice the Kuangfeng Sword Technique and the Duanyun Body Technique, but the Xiuchun Sword Technique will still be the main focus."

Generally speaking, after reaching a first-class level, most people will choose to practice more martial arts in order to enhance their strength and internal energy.

After all, many skills are not overwhelming.

Jiang Xuan also chose to do so.

While majoring in the Xiuchun Sword Technique, one also practices other Kung Fu as well, trying to enhance strength and maximize benefits.

"But tonight is almost over. If we continue to practice, it will be dawn, and we still have to go on duty tomorrow."

Looking up at the sky, Jiang Xuan shook his head, put away his weapon, went to the well to fetch some water to wash himself, and then went back to his room to sleep.

……

The next day.

Jiang Xuan got up and reported to the Northern Pacification Office on time.

At this time, he had changed into a black flying fish robe, a black official hat with a jade head, and an embroidered spring sword in his hand, looking very heroic.

The Feiyu suit was bestowed by the emperor and was exclusive to the Jinyiwei. Currently, only officials of the rank of centurion and above were qualified to wear it, and the colors of Feiyu suits of different ranks were different.

A centurion could only wear black, a thousand-householder could wear white or red, a pacification envoy could wear silver, and a commander could wear yellow.

Jiang Xuan has become quite successful now.

However, when walking on the street, pedestrians tried to avoid it.

After all, the Jinyiwei are indeed notorious for their viciousness.

Jiang Xuan didn't care. He just hid. He was not in a hurry to get married. Making people afraid of him would save him a lot of trouble.

The Northern Pacification Office was located outside the north gate of the imperial palace, one to the south and the other to the north of the Embroidered Uniform Guard Commandery, guarding the imperial palace.

The Southern Pacification Office was under the jurisdiction of the Jinyiwei Commandery, so it did not have the qualifications to open its own office and usually worked in the Jinyiwei office.

Arrived smoothly at the Beisi Yamen.

As soon as he entered the door, Xu Longqing, Du Ziqi and others were already waiting inside. Seeing Jiang Xuan coming, they all saluted:
"Greetings, Lord Centurion!"

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, looked at Xu Longqing and said, "Have you received the appointment documents?"

"Got it. Thank you for recommending me for the credit!" Xu Longqing was a little excited.

He didn't expect that he would be promoted after returning from a field trip with Jiang Xuan.

He has been waiting for this position for two or three years!

Jiang Xuan smiled slightly and said nothing more: "Let's go, follow me to see the governor."

"Yes!"

The two went to the lobby of the Pacification Commissioner.

There were already quite a few people standing inside at this moment. In addition to the other four centurions, there were also quite a few general flag-level officials.

Seeing the two people enter, everyone looked over and looked at them curiously.

Of course, the most important one is the centurion Jiang Xuan.

He was promoted to the rank of centurion after only half a year in office. It has to be said that he was truly a legendary figure.

Ignoring the looks from others, Jiang Xuan led Xu Longqing inside and saluted with dignity, "I pay my respects to you, sir!"

"Well, are you here?" Xu Xianchun glanced at the two of them and nodded slightly.

It was actually Jiang Xuan who asked to come here personally, as the Pacification Office needed such talents.

In other words, the Zhenfu Division is not qualified to manage a thousand households, otherwise he would have wanted to bring Pei Lun over as well.

"Captain Jiang, do you have enough manpower?" Xu Xianchun asked.

Jiang Xuan bowed and said, "Your Excellency, I only brought the team I managed when I was the general flag officer."

"So there are still fifty left?"

Xu Xianchun nodded and then called out, "Lu Jianxing."

"The humble position is here!"

A tall, tough-looking man walked out and saluted Xu Xianchun with a calm demeanor and solemn expression.

Xu Xianchun said calmly, "Your team should follow Captain Jiang from now on. Captain Xue has mentioned to me several times that you should fill your father's position. I've heard it so many times that my ears are numb. Follow Captain Jiang and do your job well. If you do well, you'll be promoted next year."

Lu Jianxing's face suddenly became excited, and he quickly bowed: "Thank you, sir!"

After saying this, he turned and saluted Jiang Xuan: "I am Lu Jianxing, your humble servant, and I am honored to meet you, Lord Captain!"

"You're welcome, Mr. Lu." Jiang Xuan raised his left hand, his eyes flashing slightly.

This is another master.

In terms of skills, I'm afraid he is not inferior to Shen Lian and Lu Wenzhao. They are both top masters in the second-rate realm.

At this time, Xu Xianchun continued, "Captain Jiang, you've just taken office, so take your men out to the streets to familiarize yourself with the situation over the next two days. There's a case going on right now, and the murderer hasn't been apprehended yet. You can try to investigate and see if you can solve it. Ask Lu Jianxing about the details, and he'll tell you."

"Yes, sir." Jiang Xuan nodded.

"Alright, everyone go about your business. If anything happens, send someone to let me know. The factory owner has been in a bad mood these past few days, so I have to go to the East Factory to comfort him."

Xu Xianchun stood up and left after saying this, without hiding his intention to go to the East Factory to flatter.

No one dared to say anything more. They bowed and saw him off. They only dispersed after Xu Xianchun left.

Jiang Xuan led Xu Longqing and Lu Jianxing out of the yamen before asking calmly, "General Lu, what case did Lord Xu just mention?"

Lu Jianxing bowed and said, "My Lord, this has been going on for many days. Since half a month ago, women have been raped and murdered in the city. Six have died so far, but the murderer has never been found."

Jiang Xuan frowned: "Another flower thief?"

Lu Jianxing nodded. "I'm afraid this isn't just any flower thief. He's brutal. All the women he's violated have had their throats slit. His actions were clean and efficient. I suspect this was done by someone from the underworld."

It’s bad enough that he picks flowers, but he also kills people to silence them after picking them?
It sounds like he is indeed much more cruel than Tian Boguang.

Jiang Xuan frowned, "Who was in charge of this case before?"

"It's Captain Xue."

Lu Jianxing said in a deep voice, "When the first case occurred, Captain Xue took charge of the case and said he would solve it within three days. But now, half a month has passed, and there is still no progress in the case. Instead, it has caused panic among the people in the capital."

"A few days ago, the pacification envoy was furious and ordered everyone to do their utmost to solve the case. Whoever could solve the case would receive the credit."

"But the thief left no evidence at the scene, and there were no witnesses. Everyone knows this case is difficult to solve. The governor can only order the five core institutions and the five city military headquarters to strengthen their defenses."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "If that's the case, then we can only rely on luck. If he doesn't continue committing crimes, I'm afraid it won't be easy to catch him."

"My lord is right."

step, step, step
At this moment, a young man wearing a small flag uniform hurried over and said anxiously, "Brother..."

Lu Jianxing frowned and said quickly: "Yichuan, don't be rude!"

"Can't you see the captain is here? How can you be so flustered? Why don't you apologize to the captain right away!"

As he spoke, he bowed to Jiang Xuan and said, "Sir, this is my flag officer, Jin Yichuan. It was your first day on the job, and he didn't recognize you, so he was impolite. I beg your forgiveness."

Jin Yichuan's face changed slightly, and he quickly leaned forward to apologize: "Your humble servant Jin Yichuan greets you, sir. I have no intention of offending you, please forgive me, sir!"

Jin Yichuan?
Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully sizing him up twice, and said calmly, "Ignorance is not a crime. Get up! What brings you here in such a hurry?"

"Why don't you explain it to the captain quickly!" Lu Jianxing said hurriedly.

"Yes." Jin Yichuan bowed, then a trace of anxiety appeared on his face. He said, "Your Excellency, the flower thief has committed crimes again. The daughter of Mr. Wang in the west of the city was murdered last night. It is said that someone saw the flower thief."

"What?!" Everyone present was shocked.

Jiang Xuan was also slightly stunned. What a coincidence?
