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

Chapter 54: Dragon Gate Inn, Gold Inlaid with Jade! [Seeking monthly ticket for follow-up reading]

Longmen Pass has been a border fortress of the Ming Dynasty since ancient times and an important channel connecting the Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions.

In today's world, many heroes have emerged and countries are competing for supremacy.

Although the major dynasties dominated and occupied most of the territory of Middle-earth, there were still some remote areas that were unoccupied, and many forces survived in the cracks.

The Western Regions was an unowned land located between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

Inside Longmen Pass, you can reach the Western Regions by crossing a section of desert and leaving the pass.

As for the name Longmen, it is said to have come from the inscription on a stone tablet.

There was a rumor in the martial arts world that the Longmen area was the Great White Kingdom three hundred years ago, which is now the capital of the rebuilt Western Xia Kingdom. But for some reason, it was later buried by wind and sand, forming a yellow sand belt.

But rumors are just rumors after all. After so many years, it is impossible to find out what the truth is.

In short, the Longmen Desert is not only a fortress connecting to the Western Regions, but also an important channel for trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty or the northwestern countries. On weekdays, many caravans leave from here.

But with the recent arrival of autumn, the weather in the desert has become changeable and the wind and sand are very strong, so there are fewer caravans passing through.

The sun is shining brightly.

Only occasionally would a caravan on horseback or camel pass through the pass and enter the desert.

This desert is still the territory of the Ming Dynasty, so after passing this checkpoint, there are several post stations in the desert. At the end of the desert, there is the last checkpoint "Longmen Pass".

The Longmen Guard was stationed there and was under the jurisdiction of the Guanxi Dusi.

Jiang Xuan and his three companions galloped all the way, and after several days, they finally arrived at the pass in front of the desert.

As we walked out of the checkpoint, the environment suddenly changed. All we saw was a vast desert of yellow sand, with no sign of human habitation.

"The smoke rises straight up from the desert, the sun sets over the long river..."

Looking at the scene before him, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but think of a line of poetry written by a Tang Dynasty frontier poet in his previous life.

Hearing Jiang Xuan muttering poetry, Jia Ting looked at him in surprise, then said in a gloomy tone, "I didn't expect Lord Jiang to have such poetic talent."

"However, no matter how good the poem is, if we can't find Zhou Huaian and the Second Boss gets angry, we won't be able to persuade him. Lord Jiang, please take care of yourself."

Jiang Xuan said calmly, "Don't worry, Lord Jia. Eunuch Cao has already ordered the garrison troops to seal the border, and the wanted order for Zhou Huaian has already been sent to the border garrison. No one can leave without Eunuch Cao's order, and Zhou Huaian can't escape."

"Even if he can't get out, Lord Jiang still won't be able to explain if he can't be found." Lu Xiaochuan said with a snort.

Jiang Xuan ignored him and looked ahead. "I heard there's a Longmen Inn in the desert. Many passing merchants choose to rest there. Let's go there and take a look."

"Then let's listen to Lord Jiang." Jia Ting did not object.

The four of them continued on their journey, following the footprints of the caravan ahead, going deep into the desert and heading towards the Longmen Inn.

Ding Xiu followed Jiang Xuan, glanced at Jia Ting and the other man behind him, and whispered, "If you can't find the person, that Eunuch Cao will never let you go. What will you do then?"

"No, it's not that they won't let me go, but they won't let us go." Jiang Xuan's face was calm.

"..."

Ding Xiu's mouth twitched: "Does the lord think you are humorous?"

"What's the rush?"

Jiang Xuan said calmly, "Since I dared to let the black-clad assassin go, I am sure I can find them."

"Besides, even if we can't find it, there will be other ways to deal with it."

Anyway...punished?
That also requires Cao Shaoqin to be able to return alive!

……

It's getting late.

Deep in the boundless desert, thirty miles away from the border, stands an inn built of rammed earth. This is the famous 'Longmen Inn' in the Longmen Desert.

The inn looked weathered and extremely old and dilapidated. It must have been quite old. Even the signboard with the four characters "Longmen Inn" hanging on the flagpole at the entrance had been eroded by wind and sand and was almost invisible.

But the many horses tied to the stable at the door proved that there were still people living here, and quite a few of them.

at this time.

Outside the inn, yellow sand was raging and it was desolate and deserted, but inside the inn it was extremely lively.

There were no fewer than twenty people sitting in the small and dilapidated inn.

But it was obvious that they were not from the same group. One of the groups was Qiu Moyan, He Hu and others.

The group looked exhausted and it was obvious that they had just arrived here.

He Hu and Tie Zhu each carried a large basket on their backs, covered with a hat, and Yang Yuxuan's two children were hidden inside.

The other group near the corner were all ferocious looking. Judging from their clothes, they seemed to be often walking in the desert. However, there was a faint smell of blood on their bodies, and weapons were hidden under their clothes. At this moment, they were looking at Qiu Moyan and his group with ill intentions.

Qiu Moyan and the others had obviously noticed that something was wrong with this group of people, but they all drank tea and waited calmly, obviously not taking this group of people seriously.

He Hu glanced at the group of people opposite him and sneered in a low voice: "The horse bandits in the desert treat us as fat sheep. They really don't know how to live or die. They may not know that I am the ancestor of bandits!"

Qiu Moyan said calmly, "He Hu, wait and see what happens, don't start any trouble."

"Don't worry, I have a plan in mind." He Hu hummed.

"Oh, why is this inn so lively today?"

At this moment, a woman came down from upstairs. Although she was only wearing an ordinary coarse linen dress, it could not hide her graceful figure.

Coupled with that delicate and bright face, she looks charming and full of charm, making all men unable to take their eyes off her.

Only Qiu Moyan remained unmoved.

Needless to say, this woman is obviously Jin Xiangyu, the proprietress of the Longmen Inn, which is famous in the northwest desert.

Jin Xiangyu glanced over and immediately noticed Qiu Moyan and his group of new faces. She walked over with a smile, leaned on Qiu Moyan's shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Where are you gentlemen from?"

"From Wuzhou." Tiezhu quickly replied.

"So where are we going?"

"Go to Huaningzhou!"

Jin Xiangyu nodded, not knowing whether to believe it or not, but the smile on her face remained unchanged. She hooked her arm around Qiu Moyan's neck and said with a smile, "The wind and rain from all directions are not as strong as the rain in our Longmen Mountain. Since you are all here, why not stay a few more days?"

"Boss lady, what are you talking about? How can there be wind and rain on such a sunny day?" He Hu and others were a little confused.

"It seems like you guys have really come from far away!"

Jin Xiangyu understood and instantly figured out He Hu and the others' intentions. She immediately turned around and went to the table of another group of people and whispered, "This place is mine, and the goods are mine too. If you break my rules, don't come to my son to sell the stolen goods in the future!"

The leading man snorted softly, "Jin Xiangyu, don't think we're afraid of you just because you have a thousand guards protecting you. These are some fat sheep, whoever has the guts can eat them!"

"Then try it yourself. Do you really think I'm made of mud? Fuck!"

Jin Xiangyu cursed and turned around to greet Qiu Moyan and others.

However, this group of horse thieves seemed to be unable to hold back any longer and slowly drew out the weapons hidden on their bodies.

Qiu Moyan and the others looked slightly cold, and their hands hidden under the table slowly touched the weapons.

Seeing that a war is about to break out.

The law——

Suddenly, a sound of horses neighing was heard from outside the door, and then four figures pushed the door open and walked in.

With the entry of third-party forces, the originally solemn atmosphere was suddenly broken.

The two sides looked at each other, snorted coldly, and put away their weapons.

Jin Xiangyu, who was standing at the counter, also breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and looked at the door, her eyes suddenly lit up: "What a bright candle!"

Having said that, he hurried forward to meet him.

"This handsome young man, are you here for a meal or to stay overnight?"

Thank you all for reading and voting.

I have also read some comments. The plot of Dragon Gate Inn may be a little slow, but there is a word count requirement for the new book period. Each chapter can only be written between two to three thousand words, and four to six thousand words a day, so everyone may wonder why it has not been finished after so many days.

However, if the two chapters are combined, the plot will end in four or five chapters at most, three chapters for the foreshadowing and two chapters for the climax. These plots were drafted more than ten days ago, and I didn’t think about this issue carefully at the time. I am very sorry if it causes any trouble for everyone in reading.

In addition, two chapters are released at regular intervals every day, which may also have an impact.

After the explosive update is completed after the book is put on the shelves, I will adjust the number of words in a single chapter and the update time. Then everyone's reading experience may be much better. The big plot will be completed in a week at most, and the small plot will be completed in two or three days. I promise that after the book is put on the shelves, there will be at least more than 10,000 words updated every day. If my writing is not good, I will work hard to update it and will never let you down.

There are only three days left in this month, so Sanjiang probably has no chance. If nothing unexpected happens, it will probably be put on sale at the beginning of the month, and will soon reach 500 monthly votes. Can it break 500 votes before the end of the month? Thank you everyone!
