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

Chapter 61 Cao Shaoqin arrives! [Seeking monthly ticket for follow-up reading]

bang bang bang...

As the knocks on the door continued, the shouting and cursing grew louder and louder: "Fuck, why don't you open the door? Are they all dead?"

"I'm coming!"

Heizi hurried forward to open the bolt.

bang——

"Why are you closing down? Are you not doing business anymore?!"

The door was kicked open, and then a group of border soldiers wearing black and red armor strode in.

The leader was a bearded man in his forties. He spat and cursed, "Why haven't you opened the door for so long? What are you doing hiding in there?"

Heizi forced himself to smile and said, "Please forgive me, sir, something happened in the inn..."

"What the fuck is more fucking serious than me...huh?!"

Before Xu Hu could finish his words, he saw the corpses scattered all over the floor of the inn. His expression suddenly changed: "What the hell! What's going on?!"

Choke, choke, choke——

The soldiers behind him also changed their expressions and drew their swords.

Xu Hu glanced around and shouted angrily, "Jin Xiangyu! What's going on? Why are there so many dead people?!"

"And who are you bastards?"

"How dare you cause trouble on my territory? Do you think I don't exist?!"

Just as Jin Xiangyu was about to speak, Jiang Xuan walked straight forward.

Snapped!
Before everyone could react, they heard a crisp sound.

A red mark from the slap appeared on Xu Hu's face, and his eyes were blank, as if he hadn't reacted.

Everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.

"Fuck you!"

The next moment, Xu Hu flew into a rage. He drew his sword from his waist and cursed, "You even dare to do this to me..."

Before he finished speaking, a black token engraved with the words "Jinyi Personal Army" appeared before him.

"Hit, beat...sir?!"

Xu Hu's pupils shrank, and then his legs and feet went weak, almost kneeling down. He quickly leaned forward and bowed, saying, "I am Xu Hu, the captain of Longmen Pass, and I pay my respects to you, Your Excellency!"

slam-la-

Upon hearing this, the group of border soldiers behind Xu Hu also hurriedly saluted: "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"Why are you here if you're not guarding the pass?"

Jiang Xuan said calmly.

"Sir, I heard that there is a wanted criminal here, so I came here to inspect and capture him." Xu Hu broke out in a cold sweat.

Although Jiang Xuan's identity was unknown, the four words "Jinyi Personal Army" on the token were scary enough.

What's more, Jiang Xuan knew that he was a thousand households, but he still dared to slap him in the face. It was obvious that he was not afraid of his identity, so he behaved very honestly.

Jiang Xuan said coldly, "I was ordered to arrest the imperial prisoner, but the prisoner hasn't arrived yet. Last night, a group of horse bandits showed up and dared to target me. How do you manage to be a captain of the border army?"

"Sir, please forgive me!" Xu Hu swallowed and quickly bowed his head to confess his guilt.

Jiang Xuan snorted coldly, "You knew the imperial criminal would be passing through here, yet you still brought people here with such fanfare. If you scare the criminal away and ruin Eunuch Cao's plans, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the responsibility!"

"Take your men and get out!"

"Yes Yes!"

"I'm leaving right now, leaving right now!"

Hearing the words "Eunuch Cao of the East Factory", Xu Hu's heart trembled. He didn't dare to refute at all. He quickly led his men out, cursing his bad luck in his heart.

He had indeed received an order from the Eastern Depot to seal the border, but he did not come here to look for any imperial criminal. Instead, he was going to ask Jin Xiangyu for this month's fees. However, he did not expect to meet someone from the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Thinking about the orders he had received in the past few days and the wanted posters posted everywhere, he still didn't understand the purpose of the Jinyiwei coming to the Longmen Inn, so he didn't dare to interfere at all.

This slap was in vain.

"Bah! Aren't the Jinyiwei also dogs raised by the East Factory? What's so arrogant about them?"

Only after leaving the inn did Xu Hu dare to curse under his breath, then he jumped on his horse and shouted, "Retreat, return to camp!"

A group of people came in a mighty procession and soon left in disgrace. The whole process took no more than five minutes.

At this time, everyone in the inn was a little dazed.

This was the first time they saw that power could be so useful.

A captain of the frontier army, a fifth-rank military officer in charge of more than a thousand people, was so frightened that he could not speak at all just by seeing a token. He did not dare to fight back even after being slapped, and left in disgrace.

No wonder so many people in the world want to be officials. This is much more useful than martial arts.

Especially Jin Xiangyu, after she came to her senses, she was suddenly overjoyed and secretly glad that she had made the right bet.

She originally thought that at Jiang Xuan's age, even if he became an official, his rank would not be very high.

But as she was a Beijing official, Xu Hu would probably give her some face and let her leave with Jiang Xuan, so that she could escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

But he didn't expect that in front of Jiang Xuan, Xu Hu didn't even dare to fart.

This backer is obviously much bigger than Xu Hu, and he is also younger and more handsome than Xu Hu. Even in that aspect... he is so powerful.

Jin Xiangyu felt so happy that she ran forward excitedly, hugged Jiang Xuan's hand, and said with admiration: "Husband, you are so amazing!"

"..."

Jiang Xuan frowned: "Who is your husband?"

"Of course it's you!"

Jin Xiangyu said coquettishly, "I don't care. I'm going to follow you anyway." Jiang Xuan shook his head, not wanting to pay attention to her. He turned to look at Zhou Huaian and the others and ordered, "Hurry up and send the child away first."

"it is good!"

The crisis was resolved, and Zhou Huaian and others did not hesitate and immediately turned around and went to the kitchen to take action.

"You should take your people and go first." Jiang Xuan turned and looked at Jin Xiangyu.

"I do not."

Jin Xiangyu shook her head and said, "I want to stay and help you too."

Jiang Xuan frowned: "This is not a joke. If you stay, you might die."

Jin Xiangyu snorted softly: "You can die if you want. Anyway, I will stay with you."

Jiang Xuan frowned: "Are you really not leaving?"

"I won't leave!" Jin Xiangyu was firm.

"What about you?" Jiang Xuan looked at Heizi and others.

The guys looked at each other and shook their heads: "Wherever the boss lady is, there we are!"

"It's up to you guys, if you die it's none of my business."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan was too lazy to persuade him anymore. He shook his head and turned to walk upstairs.

……

According to Jin Xiangyu, the rumors about the Longmen treasure are very likely to be true. Under this desert, the old capital of the Great White Kingdom, 'Black Water City', is indeed buried. However, it is covered by hundreds of miles of yellow sand, making it extremely difficult to excavate.

She had come here for the treasure in the first place.

But in the end, they only found a secret passage leading outside the pass, and did not find the treasure.

Gradually she gave up.

However, relying on this secret passage and the Longmen Inn built above the entrance of the secret passage, she has helped many wanted criminals escape to the outside of the country over the years and made a lot of money.

In the room, Jiang Xuan listened to Jin Xiangyu recounting the past, and he seemed to be lost in thought. He couldn't help but think of the plot of the sequel to the movie "Dragon Gate Inn", "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate".

The movie revolves around the treasure of the Great White Kingdom.

But now the plot of Longmen Inn has changed, and I don’t know whether there will be a treasure plot later.

Moreover, there is no Western Factory in the current imperial court, let alone the ruthless Western Factory Director Yu Huatian...

After pondering for a long time, Jiang Xuan shook his head, too lazy to think about it anymore.

The most urgent task is to find a way to deal with Cao Shaoqin first.

He opened the system panel.

[Skill: Shadowless Divine Needle (Perfect)]

With the diligent practice over the past few months, the Shadowless Divine Needle has been brought to perfection.

At this moment, Jiang Xuan's vision, hearing, and physical reaction have all been greatly improved.

This was also the main reason why he was able to catch Jin Xiangyu's willow leaf dart with his bare hands last night.

As for the Invisible Divine Needle, if it is used at close range, its speed and power far exceed those of a bow and crossbow.

Moreover, this battle is not suitable for using bows and crossbows.

Now that I have this hidden weapon, it can make up for the shortcomings of the bow and crossbow. When it is inconvenient to use the bow and crossbow, I can use the invisible magic needle to win by surprise.

Jiang Xuan looked at the Embroidered Spring Sword Technique again:
[Martial Arts: Embroidered Spring Blade Technique (Position)]

[Progress: 7%]

During the three months since leaving Beijing, I have been mainly practicing the Wind Chasing Step and the Shadowless Divine Needle. My improvement in the Embroidered Spring Sword Skill has been slow. In addition, I have only practiced occasionally to avoid getting rusty, so the progress has not been very great.

But with the support of the sword, its power is not weak.

A 'Shi'-level sword technique, plus a perfect body technique and a perfect hidden weapon technique should be enough.

What's more, there is also Zhou Huaian who is in the middle stage of the innate realm, two first-rate masters Qiu Moyan and Ding Xiu, and many second- and third-rate masters such as He Hu, Tie Zhu, and Jin Xiangyu to assist.

Even if Cao Shaoqin is truly a consummate innate being, he can guarantee that nothing will go wrong...

Jiang Xuan's eyes flickered, and then he closed his eyes to rest, reviewing the next plan in his mind again, waiting for Cao Shaoqin to arrive.

at the same time.

He Hu and others also successfully sent Yang Yuxuan's children out of the pass through the secret passage, and then ordered the two brothers to take the children to find a place to settle down and wait, while they came back through the secret passage to help.

Jiang Xuan didn't say much about this.

This was a deal that had been negotiated in advance, otherwise it would not have been so easy for them to find the secret passage out.

Everything is ready.

Next, we just have to wait for Cao Shaoqin’s men to arrive.

time flies.

Soon it was dusk.

The sun was already halfway down when suddenly there was a loud sound of horse hooves in the distant desert.

Even the entire inn seemed to be shaking slightly, which was clearly a sign that a large group of people were approaching.

"coming."

Inside the inn, Jiang Xuan suddenly opened his eyes, picked up his sword and went downstairs.

"Hide well and act according to the plan!"

Glancing at Zhou Huaian and the others in the kitchen, Jiang Xuan gave a simple instruction before leaving with Ding Xiu, choosing to face Cao Shaoqin directly...
