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

Chapter 6 Ambush! [Please read]

After the promotion, Jiang Xuan can lead a team of ten people like Yin Cheng, but the content of his work remains the same, still patrolling the streets.

And now there is an additional mission, to capture Hokusai and Shen Lian.

Portraits of the two men were posted everywhere on the streets, and everyone related to them was called in for questioning.

Jiang Xuan did not meddle in other people's business. He just pretended to cooperate in the search and did not put his heart into it.

Otherwise, what would it matter if he found it? He couldn't beat Shen Lian.

That guy is a master of swordsmanship and he survived the Battle of Sarhu. He has extremely rich combat experience and is probably about to reach the first-class level.

The team he led was just an ordinary captain, and he was the only one who reached the third rate. If they really encountered an enemy, I am afraid that several of them would be killed or injured before other reinforcements arrived.

If I am not careful, I might get killed by Shen Lian, which would be really unprofitable.

So, just survive if you can, the most important thing is to stay alive.

In this way, Jiang Xuan slacked off until the end of his shift, then hurried home to continue practicing.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the door of his house and before entering the yard, Jiang Xuan felt something was wrong.

Because there were no other relatives at home, my predecessor was worried that thieves would break into the house while he was away on business, so he would usually stuff a leaf or a dead branch into the door crack or door handle when he went out.

This way, you can know whether someone has broken into your house, and thieves won't pay too much attention to them, thinking that the leaves and dead branches fell from the jujube tree in the yard.

After Jiang Xuan traveled through time, he continued this habit of his predecessor.

He clearly remembered that when he went out in the morning, he stuck a dead branch in the crack of the door.

But now, the dead branches are gone...

"Either there's a thief in the house? Or...someone has been here!"

Jiang Xuan reacted instantly, his expression alert, and his right hand slowly placed on the hilt of the knife. Instead of going in directly, he quickly thought about the possible identities.

His previous life was a loner. After his father's death, he often kept to himself and had no other friends except his cousin Yin Cheng.

Yin Cheng was on duty at the yamen today, so it was even more impossible for him to come to his house.

If not a friend, then you can only be an enemy!

And who has he offended recently?
Ding Chong!

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Xuan's heart tightened, and he turned and left without any hesitation.

Although it was possible that it was just a petty thief who broke in, he didn't dare to take the risk.

Maybe the other person is waiting for him at home.

If you make a wrong bet, you will definitely die!

The safest way is to go directly to the street outside to find a patrol team of Jinyiwei, and then go in to find out what's going on...

Unexpectedly, just as Jiang Xuan turned to leave, a surprised female voice came from behind him: "I wanted to wait until you entered the door before finishing you off, but you were very alert. It seems that Chong'er really died at your hands!"

sigh~
As the voice was spoken, a figure suddenly jumped onto the gate of the courtyard. He was wearing a long light purple robe, with his hair tied up high in a bun. He had a beautiful face but cold and sharp eyes. He was holding a long Miao knife in his hand. He looked heroic and murderous.

It was Ding Chong’s master, Ding Baiying!
not good!

Hearing the sound, Jiang Xuan's face changed. Without any hesitation, he immediately quickened his pace, trying to rush out of the dark alley.

Ding Baiying didn't rush to chase him. A hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He waited until Jiang Xuan was halfway through the run before he said, "Tai'er!"

boom!
As Ding Baiying finished speaking, a figure jumped out from the wall beside the alley. He was dressed in black and his clothes rustled. He was like a wolf flying into the sky. A dark golden wolf-tooth stick brought out a terrible gust of wind and smashed down towards Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank, and without time to think, he drew his sword with his backhand and slashed upwards diagonally, using the "sword-lifting style" to meet the attack, trying to deflect the attack of the wolf-tooth stick.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two came into contact, a terrifying force surged over. With a "ding" sound, Jiang Xuan groaned and was directly knocked away.

"Cough, cough..."

Jiang Xuan half-knelt on the ground and slid back several meters before he could steady himself. Suddenly he felt a surge of blood and qi flowing backwards, and he couldn't help coughing violently a few times.

Looking up at the black figure in front of him, his heart sank slightly.

Ding Baiying’s second disciple, Ding Tai!
"You are the one who killed my junior sister?"

Ding Tai slowly walked forward, blocking Jiang Xuan's retreat, and spoke coldly. At the same time, he casually swung the wolf-tooth stick in his hand, making a buzzing sound, which was extremely deterrent.

"She is allowed to kill me, but I am not allowed to kill her?"

Jiang Xuan did not deny it. As he spoke, he looked around, looking for a way to break through.

"You, a eunuch in the court, are worthy of being compared with my junior sister? Today I will use your head to sacrifice to my junior sister!" Ding Tai said coldly.

Jiang Xuan sneered, "I was just passing by my house, and she wanted to kill me without giving me any explanation. In the end, I was not good enough in learning the skills, so I killed her in return. She didn't ask why, and didn't distinguish between right and wrong. Is this the way you, the descendants of the Qi Family Army, behave?"

Ding Baiying's eyes moved: "Do you know our origins?"

Jiang Xuan glanced at the Qi family sword in her hand: "Except for the descendants of the Qi family army, ordinary people can't control this kind of sword!"

"You're not stupid."

Ding Baiying raised his eyelids slightly, acknowledging his origins, and then said calmly, "Regardless of whether Chong'er was right or wrong in killing you, just because you were so audacious that night and dared to do something inappropriate to Miss Beizhai, you deserve to die."

Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and did not explain too much: "Hokusai is in your hands?"

"The dead don't need to know."

Ding Baiying glanced at Ding Tai: "Tai'er, kill him!"

Hearing this, Ding Tai no longer hesitated and moved like a tiger. His wolf tooth stick was fierce and domineering, emitting a cold and dark light, and seemed to have a force of ten thousand kilograms as he roared and smashed towards Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan's face was solemn. He gripped the knife with both hands, preparing to strike, and closely watched Ding Tai's movements. The moment Ding Tai's sweep came, he suddenly leaned back and lunged forward, his feet sliding downward, his scalp barely glancing off the club, narrowly avoiding the blow. Knowing that Ding Tai's wolf-tooth club was renowned for its power, why would he seek such hardship by engaging in a head-on confrontation?
All the actions were just to confuse Ding Tai and Ding Baiying, waiting for this moment!
After avoiding the attack, Jiang Xuan rolled to his feet, then lightly tapped the side wall with his toes. With a little leverage, he flew over the wall like a wild goose and ran forward quickly on the rubble.

"Ok?"

Ding Tai turned around in surprise.

Ding Baiying also frowned: "This skill... I underestimated you!"

"But, after waiting for you for so long, how could I let you get away?!"

A murderous look flashed in his eyes, and Ding Baiying moved accordingly. His body was also extremely agile. He jumped over the wall and quickly chased after Jiang Xuan, his speed more than twice as fast.

The distance between the two quickly closed.

Jiang Xuan had never felt that this alley, which was only a few dozen meters long, was so long.

But in a moment, a fierce gust of wind swept over from behind him, full of murderous aura. Jiang Xuan felt like a thorn in his back, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

"See where you can escape to!"

Ding Baiying sneered, her right hand formed into a claw, and she grabbed Jiang Xuan's neck with absolute strength. She was obviously confident enough in herself and even planned to capture Jiang Xuan alive.

bass!
Suddenly, a cold light streaked across the night sky, creating a crescent arc.

At this thrilling moment, Jiang Xuan didn't think twice and just turned around and slashed with his sword based on his feeling. It was the eighth move of the Xiuchun Sword Technique - the Returning Sabre.

"Master!" Ding Tai shouted a reminder upon seeing this.

Ding Baiying was also slightly surprised. She had obviously never expected Jiang Xuan to have the courage to fight back. However, she had great experience in the field. Although she did not take Jiang Xuan seriously, she was always on guard. She immediately changed her strategy and quickly drew her sword to fight back.

clang--

The clash of the two armies was like the clash of golden swords and iron horses, shaking the night sky.

At the moment of contact, Jiang Xuan felt that the power of Ding Baiying's sword was even greater than that of Ding Tai's wolf-tooth stick. The huge force swept over, and the Embroidered Spring Sword was directly chopped out of his hand, and he was also thrown out. In an instant, the blood in his chest surged, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered internal injuries.

Seeing that Ding Baiying was chasing him again, he didn't care about his injuries. He reached back with his left hand and took out a small crossbow. He raised his hand and pulled the trigger without caring whether he could hit the target or not.

huh huh~

Two sharp arrows shot out.

Ding Baiying's pupils shrank slightly and he quickly dodged to the side.

But it was just this delay that when she looked up again, Jiang Xuan had already run out of the alley and onto the street outside.

Just then, a patrol of Jinyiwei passed by. Jiang Xuan was immediately delighted and quickly waved and shouted, "This way! There are thieves here!"

"Hmm? Hurry!"

The team of Jinyiwei was alarmed and immediately surrounded the group without hesitation. They happened to see Ding Baiying chasing out of the alley and drew their swords to meet him.

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~

Ding Baiying easily took on the attacks of several Jinyiwei, but as the commotion grew louder and another group appeared around the corner, she could only fight and retreat. She glanced at Jiang Xuan, who was hiding behind the crowd, and said coldly, "I will kill you!"

After saying that, she forced back the people in front of her with a knife, climbed up the wall, and shouted, "Tai'er, retreat!"

The master and disciple moved extremely quickly. After a few leaps on the roof, they disappeared into the night.

There was a dead end ahead. Everyone chased to Jiang Xuan's house, but when they saw they couldn't catch up, they had no choice but to give up.

"It's a pity they didn't bring the signal arrow, otherwise they wouldn't be able to escape!"

The leading flag officer shook his head regretfully, then turned to look at Jiang Xuan behind him. Seeing that Jiang Xuan was also dressed in flag uniform, he didn't dare to neglect him. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I am Wen Lianggong, a flag officer under Captain Xu. May I know who you are, sir?"

"Jiang Xuan!"

Jiang Xuan's face turned pale as he bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Wen, for saving me!"

"It turns out to be Jiang Xiaoqi who just took office. Brother Jiang, you are too polite."

Wen Lianggong smiled slightly, then glanced in the direction where Master Ding Baiying and his apprentice had left, and asked, "I wonder where these two thieves came from? How did they end up against Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Xuan took a deep breath and shook his head, "I don't know either. I just passed by here and was attacked by these two people."

Wen Lianggong's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded, "I will record and report this matter, and find out the identities of the two thieves as soon as possible. By the way, Brother Jiang, are you injured?"

"It's nothing serious." Jiang Xuan shook his head.

"Sir, your sword." At this time, a captain picked up Jiang Xuan's sword and presented it with both hands.

"Thank you." Jiang Xuan took the knife and took a look at it, his eyelids twitching.

I saw that there was a gap in the middle of the blade, nearly half an inch inside.

Wen Lianggong also noticed the knife edge, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. It seems that this thief has a great background!

"Oh no, there's a fire!" a lieutenant suddenly shouted.

Everyone turned around quickly and saw thick smoke rising from the yard at the end of the alley. In a moment, flames shot up into the sky.

"Nima!"

Seeing the fire, Jiang Xuan's face suddenly changed and he shouted, "This is my house, put out the fire!"

Wen Lianggong twitched his lips and waved his hand, saying, "Quick, put out the fire..."

The early plot will be a little more compact, leaving little time for the protagonist to practice and develop. After all, he just travels to the beginning of the plot of "The Blade of the Assassin". However, the direction of this book is still a refreshing one, and there will be no deliberate abuse of the protagonist. Even if he cannot win, the protagonist can find a way to resolve the crisis.

The revenge begins in the next chapter...
