Nine-layer armor-breaking

Chapter 89 Inside Information
Before dawn, someone knocked on the door and Jiang Xuan quickly got up.

"Sir, excuse me for disturbing you. There's a guy at the door who claims to be a disciple from the government's martial arts school. He's here to see you. Would you mind letting him in?" The waiter outside knocked lightly on the door.

"What's your name?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"It is said that his surname is Yan." The waiter thought for a moment and replied.

"Squeak!"

Jiang Xuan opened the door and said to the waiter, "That's my guest. Let him in. I'll go out to greet him."

"Okay! The younger one will go first."

"Thank you!" Jiang Xuan nodded and replied.

"It's my pleasure, sir. You are so polite."

After saying that, the guy trotted downstairs.

Jiang Xuan hurried back to his room, put on his coat, closed the door lightly, and then hurried downstairs.

Just when he was halfway up the stairs, Jiang Xuan saw Yan Zhen in the distance, quickened his pace and walked up to him.

"Senior Brother Jiang." Yan Zhen shouted in a hoarse voice.

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, Yan Zhen was very tired. He supported Yan Zhen's shoulders and straightened his body.

"Why are you alone? Did you come here running away?" Jiang Xuan asked with concern.

"No, I came here on horseback. My brothers were busy, so I found a chance and sneaked out." Yan Zhen wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead and replied.

Jiang Xuan saw Yan Zhen was a little out of breath, so he pulled Yan Zhen and said, "Come on, follow me upstairs and have a drink of water."

Yan Zhen waved his hand and said, "No need, Senior Brother Jiang. Time is running out, and I have to go back quickly. Senior Brother He asked me to tell you that the merchant hasn't sold much in the city. He used to supply the wealthy, but now the wealthy in the city are closed, so he can't sell his goods. He saw that something was wrong in Qizhou City recently, so he left for the west of the city and said he would come back in three months."

Yan Zhen was breathing heavily, but he finished the story in one breath, and he looked quite anxious.

"Have you heard that a ring was sold?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"A ring? I never heard of it. He didn't sell anything of value, so he sold a few rags on the street and then left."

Hearing Yan Zhen's words, Jiang Xuan nodded.

Yan Zhen continued, "Brother Jiang, if you're in a hurry to leave the city, you'd better leave as soon as possible." He lowered his voice again and said, "According to inside information, everyone will be restricted from leaving the city soon."

Jiang Xuan nodded and said to Yan Zhen, "Thank you, Junior Brother Yan! I understand."

"If Junior Brother Yan hears about the ring in the merchant's hand..."

Before Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Yan Zhen said, "Don't worry. If you hear about the whereabouts of the ring, I'll keep an eye on it for Senior Brother Jiang. I'll take care of it."

Jiang Xuan clasped his fists and formally bowed to Yan Zhen: "Thank you!"

Yan Zhen helped Jiang Xuan up, somewhat dissatisfied with his behavior, and said, "You don't have to be like this."

He took out another letter from his pocket, which looked very exquisite.

"This is the certificate for hunting ferocious beasts. Senior brother, your reward should be separated from others and released separately. I forgot to give it to you that day." Yan Zhen handed it over.

"Okay, thank you." Jiang Xuan took the envelope and said.

"After this period, come to Qizhou City to find me. I'll be waiting for you." Yan Zhen smiled, but his face remained heavy.

"must."

Yan Zhen clasped his fists and said solemnly to Jiang Xuan, "I have to go now. Take care, Senior Brother Jiang! We'll see you later!"

Jiang Xuan nodded and said, "Please say hello to my two brothers." He took a step back and clasped his fists, saying, "Take care, Junior Brother Yan! See you later!"

……

However, all these actions were seen by an old man standing at the fence on the second floor.

……

Yan Zhen left. Jiang Xuan looked at Yan Zhen's back as he walked farther and farther away until he finally disappeared. He did not stay in the yard for long and turned to go upstairs.

"Mr. Sha, why are you up?"

Mr. Sha replied calmly, "I heard some noise and came out to check. I didn't mean to pry." "It's okay. I was just afraid of disturbing your rest. I didn't mean to hide it from you."

Mr. Sha really didn't mean to spy, he just came out to check the situation because he was worried that Jiang Xuan was being deceived.

Jiang Xuan did not hide anything from Mr. Sha and told him the truth.

"Who is that child?" Old Sha pulled the coat he was wearing closer.

"Junior Brother Yan from Qizhou Martial Arts School." Jiang Xuan replied to Old Sha without any hesitation.

Mr. Sha nodded and said, "Your last name is Yan? What's your name?"

"Yan Zhen."

"Yan...Zhen..." Old Sha muttered to himself, but frowned unconsciously.

He asked Jiang Xuan, "Is he one of the people you met at the city gate that day?"

Jiang Xuan looked at Old Sha's expression. Although he was a little puzzled, he nodded and said, "Yes. Does he... have any problems?"

Sha Lao waved his hands, immediately relaxed, and said with a smile: "No problem, you are just lucky. Do you know who he is?"

Jiang Xuan crossed his arms and shook his head.

"He is the son of Yan, the director of Qizhou Martial Arts School, and a martial arts genius in Qizhou." Old Sha said calmly.

Jiang Xuan didn't think much about Yan Zhen's identity. He just remembered what Yan Zhen had told him. With a look of sudden enlightenment on his face, he said, "So that's how it is. No wonder he knows the inside information."

Old Sha stared into Jiang Xuan's eyes, his tone becoming a little nervous as he asked, "What inside information?"

Jiang Xuan pulled on Elder Sha's sleeve and walked straight into the room. He closed the door and said, "Elder Sha, we need to leave quickly. Junior Brother Yan said that everyone will be restricted from leaving the city soon."

As soon as these words came out, Sha Lao's heart suddenly "beat". At this moment, he could clearly hear his own strong heartbeat.

What he worried about finally happened.

Old Sha knocked on the table a few times and said to Jiang Xuan, "Since he said so, it shouldn't be false."

Jiang Xuan nodded and whispered, "Junior Brother Yan looks a little heavy-hearted. Although it's hard to ask too much, he must have known something very important."

"We can't stay in Qizhou City any longer. Let's quickly grab our things and leave the city!" Old Sha's expression became a little more serious, and he put on his coat as he spoke.

Jiang Xuan also immediately went to pack his packages. He carried the packed black rhino and Yan Xing on his back, and handed the seven-foot-long silver spear that he had used in the previous competition with Guard Xu to Old Sha.

"Mr. Sha, do you want to use it for self-defense?" Jiang Xuan asked.

Old Sha took the silver spear, weighed it, and was very satisfied. He said, "It's a good thing. Fine, let's play with it!"

"Just for fun?" Jiang Xuan felt both envious and helpless about what Old Sha said. Perhaps this was what the strong thought was, which was definitely different from that of ordinary people.

Jiang Xuan took out the banknotes from his pocket and handed them to Old Sha: "Old Sha, as a bodyguard, it's inevitable that there will be some bumps and bruises. Why don't you keep them? It will be safer."

Old Sha was shocked. He was indeed very satisfied with Jiang Xuan, this young man, who was simple, kind, and not spoiled. But he did not expect that at this moment, this young man would trust him to such an extent.

When you are away from home, things are of course not the same as when you are at home. Money is a very important thing, but the little guy in front of him wants to give all the money to him for safekeeping. This behavior still surprised Mr. Sha.

Mr. Sha didn't refuse. He took the banknote, counted out half, and handed it to Jiang Xuan: "Half each, it's safer."

Jiang Xuan nodded, took the banknote and put it in his arms.

After receiving the banknote, Jiang Xuan was busy checking if there were any items left in the room.

He did not notice the changes in Sha Lao's expression, nor did he know what was going on in Sha Lao's mind at the moment.

Old Sha looked at the clever little kid in front of him and felt very satisfied and secretly happy, but his face showed no change.

……

"Mr. Sha, do you need to bring anything else?" Jiang Xuan put away his things, came to Mr. Sha and asked.

Old Sha quickly shifted his admiring eyes away from Jiang Xuan, glanced around the room, and finally fixed his gaze on the jar of wine on the table.

Old Sha pointed with two fingers and said, "Take it with you too. Don't let Boss Yun down."

Jiang Xuan paused for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, take it with you!"
