Chapter 256: Swordsmanship in the City Guards

Although people who know the truth do not agree with it, once public opinion becomes louder, some false things will become true.

Despite this, Jiang Xian still wanted to suppress the matter for a while because of the package she had in her hand.

Jiang Xian still doesn't know what's in the package.

Everyone knew that Ling's personal guard had been to the mansion, which was actually nothing wrong. After all, Jiang Yuan, the head of the Jiang family, was also the vice president of the Yingzhou Chamber of Commerce, so it was not surprising that they had some interactions.

But if everyone knew that Ling Qinwei had just arrived in Yingzhou to take office, and he came to the Jiang Mansion to deliver something for personal reasons, it would be a bit strange, and it would be hard not to have people covet the things.

Therefore, the fact that Ling's personal guard came to the mansion to deliver something for Jiang Xuan could not be leaked for the time being.

Another consideration that Guard Guo didn't know was that Jiang Xian didn't let Guard Guo tell this matter to anyone because of Guard Guo's consideration.

When Guard Guo received the news related to Jiang Xuan, he did not choose to report it to the head of the family, which was also a mistake.

Guard Guo did not report to Butler Li, although it was obvious that Butler Li was not the kind of person who cared about things. But even if Butler Li had some complaints about Guard Guo, at most there would be some estrangement between Butler Li and Guard Guo, which would not be a big deal.

Guard Guo was definitely at fault for not reporting the incident to the head of the family, Jiang Yuan, immediately.

Because in a certain sense, Guard Guo has to consider everything for Jiang Yuan and obey Jiang Yuan's orders under any circumstances. After all, Jiang Yuan is the head of the Jiang family.

Even if Jiang Yuan has a good temper, Guard Guo cannot bypass Jiang Yuan on the surface.

Jiang Xian had also made a decision on this matter.

Jiang Xian would first check what was in the package, and then determine whether it was brought to her by Jiang Xuan, or whether it was some signal given by Jiang Xuan. Then, Jiang Xian would tell Jiang Yuan about it depending on the circumstances.

It was because Jiang Xian told Guard Guo that this was his order that Guard Guo and the other two were able to avoid being held accountable.

After all, the outcome would be completely different if Jiang Yuan knew about this matter through someone else or through Jiang Xian.

Through others, we know that even if Jiang Yuan did not want to punish Guard Guo because of his hard work over the years, it would be impossible.

There is no need to say more about establishing authority over others, Jiang Yuan knows it clearly.

If Guard Guo is not punished, Jiang Yuan's influence will naturally be weakened in the future.

Even if it was just for show, Guard Guo had to punish him.

And if this matter was known through Jiang Xian.

Firstly, apart from the three of them, no one else in the mansion knew about this matter, so there was no punishment.

Secondly, Jiang Xian was also telling Guard Guo and the other three that this was her order, and Jiang Xian would let the three of them know in the future. The head of the Jiang family also knew her order, so this was also the order of the head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuan. There was no question of Jiang Yuan being kept in the dark, and there was no question of the three of them looking down on Jiang Yuan.

……

Near the observation post in the north of Qizhou City.

The soldier missed the attack, but he used one hand to draw the sword at a faster speed and swung it towards Jiang Xuan who was dodging on the side.

"It's still too slow! Too slow!" Jiang Xuan said jokingly.

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, the soldier's speed was too slow, although he could detect that the soldier's strength was indeed at the Heavenly Rank level, probably at the second or third level of the initial Heavenly Rank.

But at this moment, the speed of this soldier was a little slow. Even the speed of the other party when they entered the heavenly level was faster than that soldier.

"Use all your strength, or you'll suffer!" Jiang Xuan scolded the soldier for not using his full strength, acting as if he were just going through the motions. The soldier, both on the surface and in his heart, was extremely aggrieved. Although he had never fought against this Senior Brother Ling before, he knew of his reputation.

Not to mention that he likes to inquire about information so much, even many soldiers who don't usually talk about other warriors know how powerful Senior Brother Ling is.

After all, how many people can make a breakthrough in the Five States Martial Arts Competition?

Not to mention the competition between a junior Heavenly Rank warrior and a real peak Heavenly Rank warrior, there is no chance of winning at all. The only suspense is how hard the peak warrior on the opposite side will attack, or to what extent he will show mercy.

At this time, the soldier holding the long sword looked away quietly, as if seeking some help, or begging for mercy.

"Your opponent is Ling, where are you looking?" Jiang Xuan asked the soldier who was looking away.

The soldier seemed to have received no response. Facing Jiang Xuan's words, he made up his mind and put in all his strength.

The soldier had no idea how much the Senior Brother Ling in front of him would hold back, but he knew that the two of them had no grudges against each other, and although Senior Brother Ling might use some heavy hands, he would not take his life.

Instead of waiting for that person's response, it is better to fight with all your strength first.

Suddenly, the soldier swung his sword. At the moment when Jiang Xuan easily dodged the sword, the soldier moved in the opposite direction and kept a certain distance from Jiang Xuan.

"This kid is serious." With Jiang Xuan's keen perception in battle, how could he not detect the soldier's intention.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan felt a little excited.

Although he didn't believe that the other party could defeat him, he would never think that the other party could hurt him.

However, in this situation, the soldier will definitely try his best to get a good result.

At least it means less beatings.

"That's right." Jiang Xuan shouted.

The soldier swung his sword and then took a posture ready to attack.

"Isn't this the sword technique taught by the city guards?" A soldier in the distance said in surprise.

The soldier felt strange for a reason.

The observation post in the north of the city also belongs to the Qizhou City Guard, so it is normal for them to practice the sword techniques taught by the City Guard.

However, many of the sword techniques, knife techniques and other body techniques taught in the City Guards are simple and practical moves that do not have much power and effectiveness. These are also well known to the City Guards.

It was not surprising that the soldier displayed the sword skills he had been taught by the city guards.

However, when facing a warrior who seemed to have reached at least the peak level, using the sword techniques of the city guards was a bit too simplistic.

Jiang Xuan still held the dagger against his back and said to the soldier, "Regardless of your motivation for competing with Ling, just based on your actions just now, you are a talent that can be cultivated."

There was something hidden in Jiang Xuan's words, and the soldiers on the opposite side could hear it. Not only that soldier, but the other soldiers heard it as well.

"What is the quality of your sword?" Jiang Xuan asked, adjusting his stance to a more comfortable one.

"High-ranking," the soldier replied, with a hint of pride and determination in his expression.
