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

Chapter 92: Playing Erhu with full health, wandering around with low health [31]

After three rounds of drinking.

Lu Xiaofeng asked with a smile: "Brother Jiang, I also have something I don't understand."

"Those innocent people were harmed by the Hangzhou Shengci incident. Brother Jiang was merciful and let them go today. If something happens in the future, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Jiang Xuan shook his head and said, "To be honest, Brother Lu, I was a little troubled just now, not knowing how to deal with the follow-up of this matter."

"But now that I've met Brother Lu and Brother Hua, I'm no longer worried."

Lu Xiaofeng was slightly startled, then smiled and nodded: "No problem."

"Brother Jiang is in the imperial court and has been able to do this. How about Brother Hua and I solve this problem for Jiang Xuan?"

"I don't have money, but Brother Hua, as the son of the Jiang family, has plenty of it. Helping a few people shouldn't be a problem."

Hua Manlou shook his head helplessly: "This isn't just one or two people, but hundreds of people..."

At this time, Jian Chen interrupted and said, "If you two need it, I can also lend a hand."

"It would be great if Brother Jian Chen is willing to help." Lu Xiaofeng immediately bowed.

Jian Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's a pity that I can't be as free and easy as you two, nor can I be like Brother Jiang, who can make the Censorate release the people with just a few words."

“Everyone’s stance is different.”

Jiang Xuan took a sip of his drink and said calmly, "With your abilities, if you want to enter the officialdom, it should be easy for you to reach my level."

"No, no, no, Brother Jiang, you are wrong."

Lu Xiaofeng shook his head: "It is precisely because we all have different standpoints and personalities that what you, Brother Jiang, can do, we may not be able to do."

"In today's world, all we can do is stand up for the weak and fight for justice in the martial arts world, and occasionally use our own methods to deal with those injustices. If we are asked to bow to the eunuch party and do some despicable things in the court, we will never do it."

Jiang Xuan's mouth twitched: "Brother Lu, are you praising me or insulting me?"

"Haha, Brother Jiang, please don't misunderstand."

Lu Xiaofeng bowed and smiled, "Before, I might have thought that Brother Jiang was just like those eunuchs in the court, a vain and unscrupulous person who pursued power. But after this incident, I know that Brother Jiang is definitely not that kind of person."

"It's just that everyone's background and stance are different. Sometimes you have no choice, and that's normal."

"But we are all trying to mend this tattered world in our own ways. Perhaps we won't be able to change anything in the end, but all we need is a clear conscience."

"In my opinion, Brother Jiang is also such a person, so I said that we are all kindred spirits."

"well said!"

Jian Chen smiled and raised his glass: "Let's drink to this 'fellow traveler'!"

"Dry!"

The four of them raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Longqing and Wen Lianggong sat aside, but could not get a word in.

Firstly, their status was not high enough, and secondly, they could not understand or comprehend the way these people were communicating, which was like playing dumb from time to time.

But maybe this is the way the world is.

There is no need for much communication, as long as you are interested in each other, you can become friends.

However, I don't know whether it is good or bad for you to make friends with these people in the underworld...

Xu Longqing was a little worried.

Wen Lianggong kept his head down and drank calmly without saying a word.

……

"Brother Jiang, I wonder what you think of the current situation where eunuchs are rampant?"

While chatting and laughing, Lu Xiaofeng suddenly looked at Jiang Xuan and asked this question.

Perhaps fearing Jiang Xuan might misunderstand him, he added, "Do you think there's still hope for the Ming Dynasty?"

After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.

Xu Longqing's eyelids twitched. He took a big gulp of wine, then lay on the table pretending to be drunk, praying that he didn't understand.

Wen Lianggong's eyes flickered as he stared at Jiang Xuan.

A moment of silence.

Jiang Xuan said calmly, "Brother Lu, this kind of thing is not something we can decide."

"Before you are able to change the world, it is better to learn to be patient and wait for the right opportunity."

"The world is unpredictable. Who can predict what the future will hold?"

Jiang Xuan used the same words he had used to answer Pei Xing before to give Lu Xiaofeng the same reply.

After hearing this, everyone was stunned and speechless.

for a long time.

Lu Xiaofeng looked at Jiang Xuan deeply, raised his glass and said, "Brother Jiang, I, Lu Xiaofeng, recognize you as my friend."

"If you need me, Lu Xiaofeng, in the future, just spread the word in the martial arts world. No matter how far away you are, I, Lu Xiaofeng, will rush to help you."

"This cup, Lu Xiaofeng toasts to you. I wish Brother Jiang a bright future. May you soon wait for the day when the wind blows and realize your ambitions!"

Jiang Xuan nodded with a smile and raised his glass: "Cheers."

He knew that Lu Xiaofeng understood his ambitions.

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

Living again in such a brilliant world, who would be content with being ordinary?
……

into the night.

Under the dark night, the entire city of Hangzhou was silent.

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou had already left, perhaps drunk in some corner, or perhaps they had already left Hangzhou.

For wanderers like them, it makes no difference whether they stay overnight in an inn or in the wilderness.

Perhaps, this is what a true Jianghu person is.

Jiang Xuan has not yet reached their level at this moment.

Because he still has concerns and pursuits.

Just as he and Lu Xiaofeng said.

At this moment, he is still waiting for the opportunity.

No one can predict what the future situation will be like.

If you want to seize the opportunity and take off when the time comes, you need to have enough strength.

In the night, Jiang Xuan sat cross-legged, practicing Rama's internal energy. His internal energy moved along the meridians, slowly impacting the fourth 'Hand-Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian'.

In the past few days, he has been attacking this meridian.

Tonight, I should be able to make a final push and completely open up this meridian.

As his internal energy circulated, Jiang Xuan also fell into a meditative state, his breathing was long and almost inaudible.

The room seemed to be plunged into eternal darkness, with only the moonlight outside the window flickering.

I do not know how long it has been.

A figure quietly climbed in through the window, groped around the room quietly, and with the faint moonlight, he soon found the package on the table.

The man in black had a vigilant look on his face. He glanced at the figure sitting quietly on the bed, then gently opened the package and soon found two manuscripts in it.

found it!
The man in black was delighted, and gently picked up the imperial register. He then walked back the same way with cat steps, preparing to climb out of the window again.

But just as he reached the window, a sword light suddenly struck him.

laugh!
Before the man in black could react, a bloody hole appeared on his chest. The sword energy passed through his body, instantly cutting off all his life.

"you……"

He stared with eyes wide open, his face full of unwillingness, staring at the sword-wielding figure that appeared in the window, staggered back to the center of the room, and finally collapsed powerlessly.

In the moonlight, a face with eyes open was revealed, and it was none other than Wen Lianggong.

Tread...  

Jiang Xuan had opened his eyes without knowing when. He slowly walked to the side of Wen Lianggong's body, took the two imperial records from his hands, sighed, and said, "Why bother?"

"If you don't take the right path, you'll be tempted to take shortcuts..."

Xiyu walked in from the window and said lightly: "The hidden line connecting him has also been solved by me."

Jiang Xuan nodded.

Since Han Yao was on guard against him, it was naturally impossible for him to send Wen Lianggong alone.

One light and one dark is the best combination.

It’s a pity that the devil is always one step ahead of you.

"Dying in Hangzhou, a city of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, is the best destination for you."

Shaking his head, Jiang Xuan waved his hand and said, "Deal with the body."

No one can be seen in life, no corpse in death.

Since he chose to break the rules and tried to take credit for his own things, then this is his best destination.

Anyway, he came to Hangzhou City with me, and everyone in the Censorate could see it. Who knew why he suddenly disappeared?

As for the dark line, since it cannot see the light, then if it dies, it is dead.

Without evidence, who could prove he was involved? Han Yao was certain to suffer this loss.

Xiyu sighed, walked forward, picked up Wen Lianggong's body, jumped out of the window, and quickly disappeared into the night.

Jiang Xuan walked to the window and prepared to close it and go to sleep.

But at this moment, a sad erhu sound suddenly came from the wind, followed by a sigh, suddenly ringing in Jiang Xuan's ears:

"Little brother, although you are in the court and have no control over your own affairs, sometimes, being too murderous may not be a good thing."

Jiang Xuan paused, then said calmly, "Senior, since you already know that one cannot control one's own fate in the court, then you should understand what I have done."

"If I don't kill him, I'll be in trouble when I go back."

"I'm sorry for making your place dirty, senior. I will clean it up for you."

The voice was silent for a moment, then sounded again: "No need, you can leave here tomorrow. I just want to live a simple life and don't want to be involved in these troubles."

"Yes, I will leave tomorrow." Jiang Xuan said.

That voice never came again.

In the darkness of the night, only the slightly sad sound of the erhu continued to echo.

The strange thing was that although the voice was flat in tone, it was very loud, but no one in the inn was awakened by it.

It can be seen that this person's skills are very deep. He can control the sound so that only Jiang Xuan can hear it.

This kind of kung fu is similar to the legendary sound transmission into the ears. It transmits the sound through internal force and directly transmits it into the target's ears. It not only requires extremely profound skills, but also requires strong control over the internal force.

And now, in this Zhonghua Pavilion, there is only one person who can use such profound skills—

The martial arts legend of twenty years ago;
Play Erhu with full health, wander around the whole map with low health;
Tian Jian, the second of the ten great swordsmen of the Ming Dynasty——

nameless!

……

The next morning.

Jiang Xuan got up and called Xu Longqing, and the two went downstairs.

Xu Longqing was a little confused: "Sir, aren't you waiting for General Wen?"

"He disappeared last night." Jiang Xuan said calmly.

Xu Longqing's heart skipped a beat, and he inexplicably remembered Chu Mo who had disappeared in Jinglu Tunbu before. He vaguely understood Wen Lianggong's fate, so he tactfully said nothing more.

When we arrived at the lobby, Jian Chen was still sitting at the counter.

Seeing Jiang Xuan coming downstairs, Jian Chen stood up and asked, "Brother Jiang, are you ready to leave?"

Jiang Xuan smiled and bowed, "Brother Jian Chen, I have something important to attend to, so I won't disturb you. See you later."

Hearing this, Jian Chen did not ask any more questions and replied with a bow, "Brother Jiang, we will meet again. If you have the chance to come to Hangzhou again, remember to come to Zhonghua Pavilion."

"must."

Jiang Xuan nodded, turned around and left with Xu Longqing.

Jian Chen watched them leave quietly, then frowned as if he had thought of something: "That's not right, weren't there three people yesterday?"

Just then, a middle-aged man came down the stairs with his hands behind his back.

"Master!" Jian Chen saluted quickly.

Wuming nodded slightly and walked to the door. He looked at the two figures walking away on the street, shook his head and said, "Chen'er, this man has too strong murderous intentions. It's not a good thing to get too close to him."

Jian Chen was stunned for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Master, he saved the people in the Censorate Prison..."

"He does have compassion for the people."

Wuming nodded, then shook his head and sighed, "It's just that everyone in this world has a glimmer of hope, and once he strikes, he will leave no room for maneuver and will not give his opponent the slightest chance to mend his ways."

"It would be fine if such a person could always maintain a kind heart towards the people."

"But if one day he gains power and loses this compassionate heart, it will be a disaster for all people in this world."

"Chen'er, you are also very clear about the current situation of the Ming Dynasty."

Jian Chen nodded, understanding Wuming's meaning.

Then, he turned around and looked at the deserted street again. After a moment of hesitation, he shook his head and said, "No, Master, I believe Brother Jiang will not become such a person."

"Besides, even if I am the only one who makes a mistake, it is impossible for Brother Lu and Brother Hua to make the same mistake at the same time. Master, you also said that Brother Lu and Brother Hua are both very smart people."

Hearing this, Wuming shook his head and sighed again, then nodded and said, "Chen'er, you have grown up. Since you have your own judgment, your teacher will no longer interfere."

"However, the people in this world are unpredictable and often more dangerous than you can imagine."

"I hope that when you travel the world alone in the future, you will be more cautious."

Jian Chen nodded: "I will, Master."

……

"Sir, where are we going now?"

The two men were walking down the street leading their horses, and Xu Longqing turned around and asked.

"Go to the Provincial Administration Office and return to the capital after Pei Xing and the others come back." Jiang Xuan said calmly.

"Yes." Xu Longqing nodded.

……

Five days passed quickly.

On the official road southwest of Hangzhou City, three fast horses galloped past, heading towards Hangzhou City.

The three figures riding on the horse were naturally Pei Xing, Ding Xiu and Lin Pingzhi who had just returned from Fuzhou City.

After finding the relic left to him by his parents in the old house in Xiangyang Lane in Fuzhou City, Lin Pingzhi took a careful look and discovered that it was just as Jiang Xuan said, that was the Sword Manual of Exorcism passed down by his grandfather Lin Yuantu.

It not only contains complete sword moves, but also a set of luck methods.

This method of fortune-telling begins with eight words: If you want to practice this skill, you must first castrate yourself.

The sword manual must be combined with the luck method to unleash the maximum power of the sword moves, but it requires castration of the self to practice it.

For a moment, Lin Pingzhi felt lost.

But thinking of his parents who had died tragically and his master Jiang Xuan's reminder, he finally made up his mind and burned the cassock that recorded the sword manual.

He then went to his own escort agency to take a look and found that the entire house had been burned down by people from the Qingcheng Sect.

Despite his grief and anger, Lin Pingzhi could only endure it for the time being. Accompanied by Pei Xing and the other two, he briefly paid tribute to the dead people in the escort agency, and then rode back to Hangzhou City on horseback.

Therefore, the round trip, a journey of more than a thousand miles, took only six days.

Seeing that Hangzhou City was just around the corner, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and gradually slowed down their pace, giving their horses a rest.

Galloping for a long time is not only unbearable for the rider but also very tiring for the horse.

The three of them chatted casually while walking leisurely towards the west gate of Hangzhou City.

But when they were less than five miles away from the city gate, a group of figures suddenly came out from the fork in the road and blocked the way of the three people.

"You little bastard, you really made it hard for me to find you!"

The leader was wearing a dark green Taoist robe and was short and fat, but he did not have the demeanor of a Taoist master at all. Instead, he was full of cold murderous aura.

The dozen or so people behind him also had murderous looks on their faces, and they all held long swords in their hands, which shone brightly in the sunlight, reflecting cold light!

"Yu Canghai!"

Lin Pingzhi's face suddenly changed, and a strong hatred instantly appeared in his eyes. He stared at the short and fat Taoist priest.

"Qingcheng Sect?"

Hearing this, Pei Xing and Ding Xiu looked at each other and frowned slightly.

Yu Canghai was filled with murderous intent, his aura locked onto Lin Pingzhi, and he said coldly, "Little bastard, how did 'Ren Ying' and the others die?!"

Lin Pingzhi sneered: "Are you talking about those beasts? Naturally, they got the retribution they deserved and were taken away by God!"

"you wanna die!"

Yu Canghai was furious.

The 'Four Beauties of Qingcheng' were the four most outstanding disciples under his command.

Among them, the fourth brother Luo Renjie died at the hands of Huashan's eldest disciple Linghu Chong last month.

The remaining three people were originally sent by him to hunt down Lin Pingzhi and seize the Sword Manual of Exorcism, but just two days ago, when he left Hengshan, he suddenly received a message from the government in Changzhou, asking him to come and claim the body.

Only then did he realize that the three people were dead.

So he rushed to Changzhou without stopping and claimed the bodies of several disciples.

After much investigation, they finally confirmed that Lin Pingzhi was not dead, so they used their connections in the underworld of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to find out the whereabouts of this little beast.

Knowing that the latter was heading to Hangzhou, they arrived here in advance to intercept him.

For a copy of the Sword Manual of Exorcism, not only did his own son die, but his disciples also suffered heavy casualties.

When he attended Liu Zhengfeng's retirement ceremony in Hengshan, he was humiliated by various factions.

At this moment, the murderous intent in Yu Canghai's heart boiled to the extreme.

But he glanced at Pei Xing and the other man beside the little beast.

Thinking of the corpse of Mu Gaofeng that he had seen when he claimed the bodies of his disciples in Changzhou a few days ago, Yu Canghai suppressed his murderous intent. He clasped his fists towards Pei Xing and the others and asked, "Excuse me, my friends on the underworld, what is your relationship with this little beast?"

Pei Xing narrowed his eyes and said, "Master Yu, even in the martial arts world, one must uphold morality. You've already wiped out the entire Fuwei Escort Agency. Now, he's the only one left in the entire Lin family. Are you still planning to kill him? Isn't that against the moral principles of the martial arts world?"
