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

Chapter 26 Archery Mastery, Tian Boguang
"Girls, see you later."

Qiu and Yang packed up casually, led a horse and prepared to leave, while Jiang Xuan came to the door to see them off.

Xu Longqing also woke up. He stood at the door with his wounds bandaged and a weak look on his face. He also waved to the two women.

Qiu Moyan glanced at the bloody mess in the courtyard and said, "I'll leave this to you guys to deal with."

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly: "Don't worry, we will take care of it."

Qiu Moyan nodded, clasped his fists and said, "See you later."

After a pause, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and then she whispered, "Thank you."

After saying that, she turned around and walked out the door with the horse, heading towards the north path.

"Mr. Jiang, Mr. Xu, we'll meet again later."

Yang Huizhen also clasped her fists towards Jiang Xuan and Xu Longqing respectively, and left with her senior sister.

Jiang Xuan watched the two figures disappear on the mountain path before he calmly withdrew his gaze.

"Sir, do you really trust these two girls?"

At this time, Xu Longqing walked up slowly with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Jiang Xuan said calmly, "We are now on the same boat with them. If the truth is exposed, it will be of no benefit to either side. They won't let themselves get caught in this trap."

"As for you..."

Jiang Xuan turned around and looked at him dimly: "You should know what to say when we get back, right?"

Xu Longqing's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said seriously, "I understand. Please rest assured, sir, I don't want to die either."

Xu Longqing hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Last night, upon arriving at the General's Mansion, we were ambushed by Xue Yanchuan. After a fierce battle, we managed to kill Xue Yanchuan and the seriously injured Qiu and Yang, and scare off the remaining soldiers. As for Chu Xiaoqi... he unfortunately died in the fight with the bandits."

"Yes." Jiang Xuan nodded in satisfaction. "That's a good point. I'll report it accordingly when I get back."

"Yes, my lord."

Xu Longqing nodded, then hesitated and said, "But as for Lord Lu..."

Lu Wenzhao?
Jiang Xuan's eyes turned cold.

The reason they were sent here to work and almost died here was all because of Lu Wenzhao.

How could Jiang Xuan not hate him?
It’s a pity that Xue Yanchuan is dead and there is no evidence to prove the crime.

Even if I go back and expose this matter, I have no evidence and I am afraid I won't be able to bring him down. Instead, it will make him more anxious to deal with me.

But it's impossible to just let it go like this.

And Lu Wenzhao will definitely not give up.

If you can only be a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?

We must find a way to get rid of him as soon as possible!

Jiang Xuan secretly made up his mind to keep a close eye on Lu Wenzhao when he returned, and first find a way to find something to hold against him and kill him.

Jiang Xuan didn't believe that he wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with him when he was familiar with the plot and all the relationships between the characters.

If it doesn't work, then practice hard. Once you break through to the first level, kill him secretly!
In short, he can no longer use his superiors' power to deal with himself. This feeling is the most desperate, because as long as his orders are reasonable and compliant, he will not be able to find a way out.

Lu Wenzhao's strength is not as good as Ding Baiying's, probably only second-rate.

As long as I break through to the first level, it shouldn't be a problem to kill him without leaving any trace...

Jiang Xuan took a deep breath, turned around and said, "I'll find a way to resolve Lu Wenzhao's situation. Just pretend you don't know. Let's go."

"Yes." Xu Longqing was still a little worried, but at this moment he could only choose to believe Jiang Xuan.

Nodding, the two returned to the general's residence.

Half an hour later.

As the sun rose, thick smoke began to billow from the general's mansion. The fire grew bigger and bigger and quickly spread, attracting the attention of many people around.

"No, it's gone!"

"It's the old general's house! Hurry up and put out the fire, don't let the mountain burn down..."

One after another, the people ran towards the general's mansion, and the originally quiet town suddenly became lively.

At this time, Jiang Xuan and the other two had returned to the inn to get their things and horses, and quietly left Jingyun Town.

……

at the same time.

Two slender and hurried figures just arrived at the halfway point of Jingning Temple.

Looking at the direction of the general's mansion where thick smoke was billowing, the two women looked a little dazed.

"Junior sister, can we really trust him?" Qiu Moyan asked. "Senior sister, isn't it a little late to say this now?"

Yang Huizhen said quietly, "At this point, we have to believe it even if we don't want to. We can only hope that he can keep his promise. Otherwise, not only us, but also Master, fellow apprentices, and the entire Jingning Temple will suffer..."

Qiu Moyan sighed softly and nodded, "I hope we didn't make a mistake."

"Ah, Junior Sister Qiu, Junior Sister Yang, you're back?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind, and two young monks were seen walking down the mountain, each carrying two buckets, obviously preparing to go down the mountain to fetch water.

The two girls looked back, smiled with relief, and nodded, "Brother Zhikong, Brother Zhiming, good morning. Let's go up the mountain to see Master."

"Master has been telling you two for a long time that it's too dangerous down the mountain. He's been telling you to go back up the mountain to practice and wait until it's calmer outside before coming down, but you just won't listen."

"How about it, how long do you plan to stay this time?"

Yang Huizhen said softly: "I'm coming back this time and I won't leave for the time being..."

……

Time flies, and three days passed in the blink of an eye.

On the wide and straight forest road, two horses were walking slowly forward, with two figures sitting on them.

One of them was about twenty years old, with a tall figure, handsome features, and a long sword slung over his waist, looking like a young knight, extraordinary; the other one was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with a face full of stubble, sharp eyes, and also a long sword on his back, but his face was a little pale.

These two people were Jiang Xuan and Xu Longqing who had just come out of the border.

Because they had walked this way once and knew which road was safer, the two did not encounter any accidents on their way back.

However, Xu Longqing's injuries were serious, and the wounds were easily torn open due to the constant shaking on horseback, so Jiang Xuan deliberately slowed down his speed. It took them three full days to get out of the chaotic northern border area.

And now that the crisis has been resolved, there is no need to deliberately take a detour to delay time, so Jiang Xuan chose to take the official road on the way back.

At this time, they were on the official road back to Beijing.

Jiang Xuan has not been idle these two days. When he stops to rest, he practices swordsmanship, body movements and archery.

Among them, his swordsmanship and body skills had just reached the great perfection level not long ago, so there was not much progress for the time being, but his archery skills, which had only reached the small perfection level, had successfully reached the great perfection level.

Skills: Archery (Great Mastery)

【Progress: 3/3000】

As Jiang Xuan expected, after his archery skills were perfected, his progress in practicing with a double-arrow crossbow became extremely slow. He basically had to concentrate on shooting hundreds of times in a row to barely make a little progress.

Unless you change to a larger bow, the progress may be faster.

However, he didn't have to go to the battlefield, and the longbow was not convenient to carry, so Jiang Xuan decided to put his archery skills aside for the time being and switch to practicing with the longbow when he had the chance.

The most important thing is that my current archery skills are sufficient.

Ever since his archery skills reached perfection, his senses seemed to have broken through a certain limit and became extremely sharp.

Especially his eyesight, he can even see the leaves a hundred steps away clearly. If he has a large bow in his hand, Jiang Xuan will definitely be sure to hit the target.

At this distance, it’s almost as fast as Lu Bu shooting his halberd at the gate.

In addition, as his shooting skills improved, his waist, shoulders, arms and even fingers became stronger and more powerful, especially his arms, which became both powerful and dexterous.

If there is an emergency, he can just draw his bow and fire instantly. As long as the target is within the range of the double-arrow crossbow, he will definitely hit the target.

Moreover, the improvement in arm strength seemed to have improved his swordsmanship as well.

Although his swordsmanship proficiency did not improve, his sword-drawing speed seemed to have become faster and his strength was also stronger.

The two seem to complement each other.

"Sir, Anyang City is just ahead. Do you want to take a rest before continuing?"

At this time, a city appeared in sight ahead, and Xu Longqing turned around and asked.

Jiang Xuan looked up at the sun in the sky, nodded and said, "Let's go eat something before we go."

With the badge of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, the two men rode into the city smoothly, found a restaurant at random, ordered two dishes, and sat down to drink tea and wait.

At this moment, a man and a woman also walked in from outside.

"Hmm?" Jiang Xuan just glanced at her casually and couldn't look away.

The man had an ordinary appearance, was dressed in brocade clothes, held a short knife in his arms, and looked like a man of the world.

The woman was a little nun, very pretty and charming, only sixteen or seventeen years old. Although she was wrapped in a loose black robe, her graceful and elegant figure could not be concealed.

Seeing this strange combination, Jiang Xuan felt strange, but also felt that they looked familiar.

Soon, a person came to his mind——
