Chapter 198 Another Identity

"Are you talking about the old man with white beard?" the innkeeper asked respectfully.

"Exactly."

"Just now, I saw that old man leaving the inn."

After hearing this, Jiang Xuan continued to ask, "Do you know which direction the old man went after leaving the inn?"

Upon hearing this, the innkeeper rubbed the back of his head and thought for a moment, then replied somewhat embarrassedly, "I was busy cleaning just now and didn't see where the old man went."

After saying that, the innkeeper still felt a little apologetic and said, "Sir, I'm really sorry."

"It's okay." Jiang Xuan stopped forcing it and said lightly.

Seeing this, the innkeeper could probably guess what had happened. It was simply that the old man intended to leave without saying goodbye.

The waiter was afraid that the warrior in front of him would get angry, and he was even more afraid that this warrior, who looked quite powerful, would turn his anger from himself to the inn.

He bowed to Jiang Xuan and then turned around and walked out tactfully.

The innkeeper knew about it, and Jiang Xuan naturally knew the current situation as well.

After collecting his luggage, Jiang Xuan followed the innkeeper out of the room and soon appeared outside the inn's gate.

At this time, it was already late, but with the dim light, the scenery of Qizhou still appeared in front of Jiang Xuan.

This place is located in Mi Cui Peak, and the scenery is rare in Qizhou. Jiang Xuan suddenly realized that he had not really explored this place during the few days he had been in Mi Cui Peak.

During the martial arts competitions over the past few days, Jiang Xuan sometimes finished his competitions early, but he was either busy looking for weapons or rushing back to the inn to recover. How could he have the leisure time?

Although it was dark now, Jiang Xuan still relied on the not very bright light to appreciate the beautiful scenery of Qizhou and the beautiful scenery of Micui Peak in front of him.

Changing the scene, Jiang Xuan unknowingly arrived at the foot of Micui Peak.

At this time, Micui Peak was no longer as lively as it was during the day. The warriors had already packed up their belongings and set off on their way back.

However, in the distance, Jiang Xuan still saw a warrior carrying something.

When he got closer, Jiang Xuan was surprised to find that the man was Yan Zhen, the young Qizhou warrior and son of Yan, the director of the Qizhou Martial Arts School.

"Senior Brother Ling, why haven't you left yet?" Yan Zhen was obviously surprised to see Ling Honghe still near Mi Cui Peak.

"Oh, I have packed my luggage and am about to leave. I wonder what Junior Brother Yan is doing?" As he spoke, Jiang Xuan realized that he had indeed changed into another identity at this moment.

And it will take him at least half a year to maintain this identity.

"To be honest, Senior Brother Ling, since Qizhou is hosting the Five States Martial Arts Show this year, the finishing work after the show will naturally be done by Qizhou. I heard that in previous years, the finishing work didn't require the martial arts halls of each state to do anything, but this year's Qizhou is a little special."

Yan Zhen found it inappropriate to talk to Ling Honghe while carrying things, so he put down the things in his hands.

"Hehe, Senior Brother Ling, don't mind it." Yan Zhen smiled.

Jiang Xuan naturally knew what Yan Zhen meant, and said, "It's okay."

"Speaking of Qizhou, the only ones who can be fully mobilized at the moment are us, the disciples of the martial arts school," said Yan Zhen.

Only at this moment did Jiang Xuan realize how much trouble the chaos in Qizhou City had brought to Qizhou.

After the chaos in Qizhou City, the City Lord had not appeared, and the guards could not be easily mobilized. This was the City Lord's Mansion. Secondly, on the day of the chaos in Qizhou City, some warriors in the city broke into the City Lord's Mansion and killed almost all the guards outside the City Lord's Mansion along the way.

Jiang Xuan was also very clear about this. It was on that day that he saved Zhu Yu from two of the Heavenly Rank warriors and was injured in the process. This was the situation of the City Lord's Mansion guards.

In this way, the only official power in the entire Qizhou was the official martial arts school, which might be the reason why Jiang Xuan met Yan Zhen at this time.

"Senior Brother Ling, don't blame me for asking random questions. I'm really curious and want to ask, which state's City Lord's Mansion is Senior Brother Ling going to?" Yan Zhen asked curiously.

"Yingzhou." Jiang Xuan answered readily.

It has to be said that Yan Zhen's question this time is a bit sensitive, but Jiang Xuan has a good impression of Yan Zhen and they have some friendship. Although Jiang Xuan appears in front of Yan Zhen in another identity at this moment, he is still willing to tell Yan Zhen about this matter.

"Yingzhou? I remember that Senior Brother Ling is a warrior from Fuzhou. Even if Fuzhou is not one of the Five States, Senior Brother Ling cannot use the rewards from the Five States Martial Arts Performance to return to Fuzhou and enter the Fuzhou City Lord's Mansion. But why did Senior Brother Ling go to Yingzhou?"

Yan Zhen was indeed a straightforward person, asking questions one after another.

Although Jiang Xuan couldn't tell Junior Brother Yan about the matter, he replied, "I have someone I know in Yingzhou who can take care of me if I go there."

Upon hearing this, Yan Zhen felt that Ling Honghe's reasons were very sound and said, "Senior Brother Ling is truly a man who values ​​friendship and loyalty."

Yan Zhen looked up at the sky, clasped his fists, and said to Jiang Xuan, "Senior Brother Ling, I need to move my things somewhere else quickly. I won't disturb you anymore. We'll meet again if we're lucky."

"See you again if we have the chance." Jiang Xuan also bowed to Yan Zhen and said goodbye to Yan Zhen.

Somehow, after seeing Yan Zhen off, Jiang Xuan climbed up Micui Peak again.

After arriving at Micui Peak and participating in the martial arts performances for a few days, Jiang Xuan was so focused on the matters of the performances that he almost never saw, or rather ignored, the night scene on Micui Peak.

The Micui Peak at this moment is indeed completely different from the Micui Peak during the day.

Perhaps it was in Jiang Xuan's memory that the Mi Cui Peak during the day gave him the impression of a martial arts performance, a competition, and a show of strength.

At this moment, on top of Micui Peak, under the reflection of the moonlight, Jiang Xuan felt a sense of tranquility and a touch of spiritual comfort.

He walked onto the largest area, which was the training ground for the top group during the day.

After walking a few steps on it, Jiang Xuan suddenly felt a sense of heroism in his heart.

He didn't know whether he would still be in Wuzhou during the next martial arts performance, and whether he would stand in the martial arts arena of the top group and have a hearty competition with powerful opponents.

At that time, would his opponent be Chi Yunfeng? Chi Yunren? Gao Rubang? Cheng Xiuyong?

"Gao Rubang and Cheng Xiuyong should have become monks by then, right?" Jiang Xuan thought.

Just as Jiang Xuan walked to a certain place in the martial arts field, his heart was touched and his hands began to itch.

He wanted to take off the spear, but Ling Honghe's identity told him that he had to remain vigilant at all times, for his own sake and for the Jiang family.

He drew the short knife from his waist and performed each move according to the training he had conducted in the inn today.

For a moment, the shadow of a sword danced on Micui Peak. Although it was a single person dancing with a sword, it looked like two people fighting.

Jiang Xuan thought back to the days when he left Yingzhou. He practiced gunplay at night while traveling, and his thoughts returned to the past.
