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

Chapter 93: Isn’t it too late to bow your head now? [32]

Yu Canghai frowned, and did not respond to Pei Xing's words. He said in a deep voice, "This little beast killed my beloved son and my Qingcheng disciples. I will wipe out his entire family to avenge my son and disciple. It is only natural. Even in the martial arts world, no one dares to say anything wrong about me, Yu!"

"Do you two really want to intervene in this matter and protect this little beast?"

Ding Xiu sneered and said, "If you want to fight, then fight. Why waste time talking?"

"You covet the family sword manual, yet you still have to come up with a high-sounding excuse. I've seen a lot of scum like you!"

Yu Canghai's face darkened: "If that's the case, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"Master Yu!"

Pei Xing raised his voice, pulled out his badge from his pocket, and warned, "Lin Pingzhi has now joined the Jinyiwei. Sect Leader Yu wants to take action, but have you thought it through?"

"Jinyiwei?!"

Everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

Including Yu Canghai.

No one expected that this little beast would find the Jinyiwei as his backer.

In this case, it is not surprising that the old hunchback died.

"Master?"

The Qingcheng disciples looked hesitant and looked at Yu Canghai.

No matter what the matter is, once it involves the court, it will be difficult to handle.

Especially since the other party is Jinyiwei.

The Ming Dynasty law: Anyone who kills a Jinyiwei will have his entire family exterminated.

If they were bandits, there would be no need to be afraid. They would kill someone and run away, and it would not be easy to catch them.

But the Qingcheng Sect is a well-known martial arts sect after all. Their identities are probably recorded even in the imperial court. Where can they run to?
Once you get into this trouble, your future will definitely be a dead end.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Yu Canghai's eyes. He glanced at Lin Pingzhi who was staring at him, and the murderous intent in his heart became even stronger.

At this point, the two sides have become mortal enemies.

Although the main purpose of this trip is to obtain the Sword Manual of Exorcism, it is also important to eradicate the evil spirits.

Not to mention that Lin Pingzhi has now joined the Jinyiwei. If he is allowed to develop and hold power in the court in the future, the Qingcheng Sect will be in even greater danger.

Thinking of this, Yu Canghai made up his mind.

"My lords, this little beast killed my beloved son. He is the mortal enemy of the Qingcheng Sect and I must kill him. Please give me some face. I will give you a great gift afterward!"

Yu Canghai looked at Pei Xing and the others and made a final effort.

Pei Xing shook his head: "Master Yu, I advise you to think it over carefully. Lin Pingzhi has been accepted as a disciple by my chief. If you want to touch him, are you prepared to go against the imperial court?"

Thousands of households...

Yu Canghai's heart sank.

This little bastard actually found a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to back him up, which makes him an even greater threat.

If we don't get rid of him today, I'm afraid that within a few days, that captain will find ways to cause trouble for the Qingcheng Sect.

The only solution now is to get rid of this little beast first, and then find a way to apologize to the captain afterwards.

He still had some understanding of the Jinyiwei's working style.

As long as the money is in place, there is nothing that cannot be solved.

I am just a disciple, and I can only offer you a thousand taels of silver at most.

If that’s not enough, then ten thousand taels or one hundred thousand taels!

Give it until the thousand households are satisfied.

In short, no matter what, this little beast must be eliminated!
"In that case, then... I'm sorry!"

"Kill this little bastard!"

Yu Canghai shouted loudly, drew his sword, and rushed towards Pei Xing and the others.

Pei Xing frowned, threw the badge to Lin Pingzhi, and whispered, "Go find the master!"

He saw that Yu Canghai was quite powerful and that he would be no match for him in a head-on fight, so he revealed his identity, hoping that Yu Canghai would be cautious and not dare to attack.

But I didn't expect that this old guy would not be moved by any tricks and was so determined to kill me. There was nothing I could do.

After giving Lin Pingzhi the order, Pei Xing drew the sword from his waist and went forward to meet him.

ding ding ding-

In an instant, the sound of weapons clashing filled the air.

Ding Xiu also drew out the Imperial Guard's sword and stood in front of Lin Ping to clear the way for him.

Yu Canghai seemed to have seen through the two men's intentions. After repelling Pei Xing with a sword, he turned around and entangled Ding Xiu, shouting, "Kill that little beast!"

"kill!"

A group of Qingcheng disciples immediately rushed forward.

Pei Xing's face changed slightly, and he immediately rushed forward with a knife and joined the battle.

But Yu Canghai's swordsmanship was exquisite, and his "Pine Wind Swordsmanship" had been practiced to the highest level. It had the strength of an ancient pine and the speed of a gust of wind. It was powerful and heavy, and extremely swift. Soon, Pei Xing and the other two were forced to retreat.

Lin Pingzhi also had some third-rate skills, so facing the siege of the Qingcheng disciples, he would not sit and wait for death. He immediately drew his sword to protect himself.

But his barely mastered Exorcism Sword Skill was no match for these elite Qingcheng Sect disciples. He was quickly stabbed twice and groaned.

Pei Xing was anxious. While dealing with Yu Canghai's swordsmanship, he also blocked many fatal sword moves for Lin Pingzhi, but in the end he was still not enough.

Seeing that Lin Pingzhi was injured, he gritted his teeth and took Yu Canghai's sword head-on. He was stabbed in the left shoulder and retreated. Then he swept his sword horizontally, forcing back the nearby Qingcheng disciples, and then stabbed the butt of the warhorse that Lin Pingzhi was riding.

"Xilulu!"

The warhorse felt pain, raised its front hooves, neighed, and madly pushed away the people from Qingcheng in front of it. Finally, it rushed out of the battlefield and galloped towards Hangzhou City.

"It happened!"

Yu Canghai's face changed drastically, and he shouted quickly: "Chase him! We must kill him!"

A group of Qingcheng disciples hurriedly chased after him.

Yu Canghai held Pei Xing and Ding Xiu tightly.

His swordsmanship was actually far superior to the other two, but at this moment he was still very wary of the Jinyiwei and did not dare to kill them. However, he was unable to break free from the two's entanglement for a while, so he had to deal with them with all his strength and fought with them.

……

"Drive! Drive!"

Lin Pingzhi looked sad and angry, and kept urging his horse to move forward. His hatred for Yu Canghai also reached its peak.

He never thought that even now, Yu Canghai still wouldn't let him go.

But thinking of Pei Xing and Ding Xiu who were still helping him resist Yu Canghai, he could only suppress the hatred in his heart and gritted his teeth as he rushed towards the Hangzhou city gate.

Behind him, a group of Qingcheng disciples were chasing him relentlessly.

It was as if I was back to the time when I was being chased a few days ago.

But at this moment, things are different after all.

When he was being hunted before, he was aimless and didn't know where to go for help.

I went to report to the government, but they said that matters should be handled by the underworld and it was not the government's business.

He went to live with his only relative, his grandfather, Golden Knife Wang Yuanba, whose family lived far away in Luoyang. Moreover, the power of the Golden Knife Sect was far less than that of the Qingcheng Sect, and he did not want to implicate his grandfather's family.

He could only keep fleeing, hoping to escape the Qingcheng Sect's pursuit, no matter where he went.

But now, he is no longer alone.

As long as he finds his master, his master will definitely protect him and he won’t be afraid of the Qingcheng Sect!
With this belief, Lin Pingzhi quickly rushed to the outside of the west gate of Hangzhou.

At this time, there were not many people entering the city through the gate, and the soldiers on duty stood at the gate with a lazy look on their faces, checking and registering.

When they heard the sound of horse hooves, the soldiers looked up and quickly became alert. They quickly stepped forward, waved their hands, and shouted, "Who are you? Stop!"

Lin Pingzhi did not dare to delay and raised his badge from a distance, shouting, "I am a Jinyiwei. Someone is chasing me. Help me stop them!"

Jinyiwei?
The soldiers were startled. Although they couldn't see Lin Pingzhi's badge clearly, they didn't dare to stop him. They quickly stepped aside. After Lin Pingzhi entered the city, they drew their swords and blocked the Qingcheng people who were chasing him. They shouted, "Who are you? How dare you chase and kill the imperial guards?!"

A group of Qingcheng disciples stopped at a distance when they saw the guards blocking their way, their faces looking extremely ugly.

But looking at Lin Pingzhi who had already rode into the city, he knew that he had no chance. He could only grit his teeth unwillingly and shouted, "Retreat!"

the other side.

Lin Pingzhi, relying on the Jinyiwei badge in his hand, rode at full speed all the way without any obstruction. He soon arrived at the gate of the Provincial Administration Office and shouted, "I am the Jinyiwei of the capital. Please help me find the captain Jiang Xuan!"

When the gatekeeper saw the badge, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurried in to report.

Soon, Jiang Xuan and the other two received the news and walked out of the yamen. When they saw Lin Pingzhi covered in wounds and blood, their faces suddenly changed slightly.

"What's going on?" Jiang Xuan asked in a deep voice.

"Master!"

When Lin Pingzhi saw Jiang Xuan, he relaxed and could no longer hold on, and collapsed directly from the horse. Fortunately, Xu Longqing stepped forward in time to support him and prevented him from falling to the ground.

After regaining some strength, he hurriedly said anxiously, "Master, the people from the Qingcheng Sect are chasing me. They are in the woods five miles west of the city. Go and help Brother Pei and Brother Ding..."

Qingcheng faction!
Jiang Xuan's face darkened, and he waved his hand, saying, "Take good care of him."

After saying this, he immediately jumped on his horse, and with one man and one sword in hand, he galloped towards the west city gate. ...

In the woods, Yu Canghai had been fighting with Pei Xing and Ding Xiu for nearly a hundred moves, but the winner was still undecided.

Firstly, he had concerns and did not dare to kill the Jinyiwei.

Secondly, Pei Xing and Ding Xiu are also very skilled.

Pei Xing is in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. He has perfected the military sword technique with one hand, and combined with his internal force, he is able to exert strength far beyond that of a first-class master.

Although Ding Xiu has not practiced internal skills, his Qi family swordsmanship is also at the perfect level. Moreover, he has been a bandit in the martial arts world for many years. His swordsmanship is not practiced step by step, but is acquired through killing.

With rich combat experience, his strength is much stronger than that of ordinary first-class masters.

It can be said that in terms of swordsmanship alone, Pei Xing and Ding Xiu are no weaker than Tian Boguang who died at the hands of Jiang Xuan before.

Without Lin Pingzhi's restraint, the two of them focused on their work. Working together, even Yu Canghai felt a little overwhelmed and was deeply shocked.

Just two Jinyiwei actually have such combat power.

Has the power of the imperial court become so strong now?

But after all, he has been practicing for many years. In addition to Songfeng swordsmanship, he is also proficient in many Qingcheng unique skills, and his internal strength is superb, so he always has an advantage in protracted battles.

Finally, after fighting for dozens of moves, Ding Xiu's physical strength gradually failed, and Yu Canghai soon seized the opportunity to slash him with a sword, and he was injured and left the field.

Pei Xing felt a lot of pressure at once, and was soon suppressed by Yu Canghai.

At this time, Ding Xiu took a short rest and went forward to help, but he was unable to reverse the situation.

This is the difference in foundation.

Yu Canghai took the opportunity to catch his breath and shouted, "How about you two just stop now?"

Pei Xing and Ding Xiu looked at each other, knowing that since Lin Pingzhi had already escaped and Yu Canghai didn't dare to kill them, there was no point in fighting any further, so they stopped at the same time.

Hoof-clack, hoof-clack...

At this moment, the group of Qingcheng disciples who went to chase Lin Pingzhi also came back.

Yu Canghai turned around and didn't see Lin Pingzhi. His face suddenly darkened: "Where is he?!"

"Master!"

The disciples stepped forward and reported in a low voice, "He took the Jinyiwei badge and ran into Hangzhou City."

Yu Canghai's face looked grim, and his heart sank completely.

The result he was most worried about finally happened.

Now that the little beast is under the protection of a captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and has an official status, there is no chance to eradicate him.

Instead, he had to find a way to deal with this matter to prevent the captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard from using this as an excuse to cause trouble for the Qingcheng Sect.

The people do not fight with the officials.

Even though the Qingcheng Sect belongs to the underworld forces, it will definitely not have a good ending if it goes against a court agency like the Jinyiwei.

Today, the Ming Dynasty's government is corrupt, and its control over the Ming Dynasty has gradually weakened.

The underworld and the imperial court were clearly separated and neither interfered with the other.

But there is a prerequisite, that is, don't let the court get hold of any evidence.

Otherwise, you will offend the imperial court, and the imperial court will send troops to the border in the name of suppressing rebels. No other fellow martial artists will dare to come forward to help.

Because you are not right.

If you want to get involved in this business, first you need to have strong fists, but most importantly, you need to be reasonable.

Unless your fist is stronger than the court, then you can make your own rules.

Otherwise, if you want to survive in the Ming Dynasty, you will eventually have to abide by the rules set by the court.

Taking a deep breath, Yu Canghai forced himself to suppress the resentment in his heart and clasped his fists towards Pei Xing and the others.

"Please tell me the name of that captain. I will prepare a generous gift to apologize to him someday for what happened today!"

Pei Xing and the other man looked at each other and naturally understood Yu Canghai's concerns.

"Master Yu, isn't it a little too late to bow your head now?" Ding Xiu said coldly.

I just tried to persuade him with kind words, but he refused to listen. Now that I know there's no chance of eradicating the problem, I'm still thinking of making peace. How can that be so easy?!
“Brother Ding, forget it!”

Pei Xing gave him a wink and stopped Ding Xiu.

Both of them were injured by Yu Canghai. Although they were unhappy, the current situation was not favorable for them. There was no need to further intensify the conflict. It was better to stop while the going was good.

Jiang Xuan will get back the damage they suffered today in the future.

Nodding towards Yu Canghai, Pei Xing said, "My master is Jiang Xuan, the captain of the Right Division of the Capital."

"I will convey Sect Leader Yu's words to you."

Or the thousand households in the core five institutions?
Yu Canghai felt even more headache after hearing this.

He naturally knew that within the Jinyiwei, different thousand households had different statuses.

The most favored among them was the Northern Pacification Division, but the Northern Pacification Division did not have a thousand households.

Therefore, the highest-ranking thousand-household offices are the core five.

The next step is to add six more institutes and three more functional institutes.

The five core branches and the six additional branches of the Jinyiwei are all responsible for handling cases.

However, those who usually go out to work are basically people from the six additional institutes. The five core institutes are mainly responsible for cases within the capital and rarely go out.

He originally thought that Pei Xing and others should be the six additional Jinyiwei.

Since his status is not high, it won't cost much to get rid of him.

But I didn’t expect it to be from one of the five core universities.

This is a bit difficult to solve.

After all, the higher the status, the greater the cost.

Moreover, he felt like he had heard the name Jiang Xuan somewhere before...

Yu Canghai didn't think much about it. Things had already happened, so he could only bite the bullet and deal with it.

"I've made note of it. Thank you for telling me."

Yu Canghai sighed inwardly, bowed to the two of them, and said, "Goodbye!"

"Drive! Drive..."

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves from behind, and it seemed that there was only one horse.

Everyone frowned and turned to look.

In the distance, a figure was seen riding a horse. He was dressed in black and had a long sword on his waist. His appearance could not be seen clearly.

But Pei Xing and the other two recognized the person at a glance, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "The master is here!"

"Sir? Is this the captain?"

Yu Canghai's eyes moved, and he was about to leave, but stopped at this moment.

Now that we have encountered this situation, we might as well take this opportunity to end it.

Perhaps, I can discuss with this captain to see if there is a chance to get rid of that little evil creature and get back the Sword Manual of Exorcism.

Even if it costs a little more, it's worth it.

So Yu Canghai took his men to wait there.

Pei Xing and the other two glanced at him, ignored him, and walked forward to greet Jiang Xuan.

Soon, the horses approached, and the figures on the horses' backs were completely revealed to Yu Canghai and others.

"This captain is so young?!"

Yu Canghai was stunned.

The other Qingcheng disciples were also a little surprised.

This captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard looked only a few years older than them, probably in his early twenties at most.

He is so young, yet he can become a captain of one of the five core institutes of the Embroidered Uniform Guard?
At this moment, a disciple seemed to have thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he suddenly approached Yu Canghai and whispered, "Master, do you still remember that there were rumors in the martial arts world last year that a top master had emerged from the Jinyiwei, and that he had been promoted to the rank of Qianhu at a young age..."

"It turns out to be him!"

Yu Canghai suddenly realized, and looked at Jiang Xuan carefully again, finally confirming his identity.

There should be no other such young commander of the five core schools except that one.

However, this person's realm is probably more than just a top master...

Yu Canghai narrowed his eyes and looked at the handsome young man who was approaching on horseback.

"Xu~"

Jiang Xuan came closer and stopped his horse.

"Sir!" Pei Xing and the other two stepped forward and saluted.

Jiang Xuan's expression was stern. He glanced at the injuries on the two men, frowning slightly. Then he looked up at Yu Canghai who was not far away. A cold light flashed in his eyes as he said, "Are you Yu Canghai?"
