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

Chapter 65: I went out and someone occupied my house? [Fourth update]

"Sir, I will go back first."

At the Northern Pacification Office, after everyone had handed over their tasks, they went their separate ways.

Jiang Xuan went to the lobby to greet Xu Xianchun, then walked home.

But when he reached the alley at the door, Jiang Xuan stopped and looked towards the yard with a frown.

Faintly, I could hear the sound of conversation coming from my house.

There are both men and women, and it sounds like a lively scene.

Moreover, after the renovation, there was smoke rising from the direction of the kitchen, which he had not used many times, giving the impression of a bright kitchen.

Jiang Xuan was a little confused.

What happened? Did I take the wrong path?
But when I looked closely, I realized that this was indeed my own yard.

Could it be that my aunt and cousin are here?

But Jiang Xuan thought about it and felt that it was unlikely.

Yin Cheng must have known that he was out of Beijing on business. How could he come when he was not at home? Besides, they didn't have the key to the house.

That means someone took advantage of my absence from the capital and moved right into my house?!

So brave!

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan's face darkened. He strode forward and glanced at the still locked gate outside, which further confirmed his guess.

Without disturbing the people inside, he moved slightly, jumped onto the wall, and quietly entered the yard.

There was no one in the yard, but there were sounds of talking and laughing coming from inside the house, as if they were playing finger-guessing games and drinking. There was also a faint smell of wine and food wafting out of the house.

They actually occupied my own house and started drinking here?!

Jiang Xuan's heart was filled with anger. He pushed the door open and shouted, "How dare you, you thief, occupy my house?!"

The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Several people in the room were also startled and turned around.

The two sides confronted each other and were stunned for a moment.

After coming back to his senses.

Jiang Xuan was a little dumbfounded: "Gold inlaid with jade?!"

Right in front of me, at the dining table, was a woman with one foot on a chair, her sleeves rolled up to her elbows, one hand holding a bowl of wine and the other making a finger-guessing gesture. She looked extremely heroic. It turned out to be Jin Xiangyu, who had just been separated for less than half a month.

"Husband, you're back?"

After a brief silence, Jin Xiangyu immediately reacted, quickly put down the wine bowl, and took her feet off the stool. She turned into the charming and seductive lady she had before, and shyly lifted her hair, which was in sharp contrast to her heroic appearance just now.

"Young Master...ah, no, Boss, you're back!"

The three waiters beside Jin Xiangyu also quickly stood up and greeted him with respectful expressions.

Apart from Diao Buyu, the other two, if Jiang Xuan remembered correctly, were called Heizi and Shunzi.

It would be fine if you came by yourself, but you also brought your servant with you?
Jiang Xuan was a little confused and looked at the last person.

There was another person sitting opposite these three guys.

Dressed in black, with a slender figure and sitting upright, who else could it be but Qiu Moyan?

At this time, Qiu Moyan's expression was a little unnatural. He withdrew his gaze from Jiang Xuan, picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea to hide his embarrassment.

Jiang Xuan's mouth twitched: "Who is your boss? And what are you doing here?"

"The boss lady said that you will be the boss from now on." Diao Buyu said foolishly in a northwestern dialect.

Heizi quickly pulled him aside, nodding and bowing, "Boss, Boss Lady, you two can chat first. We'll go to the kitchen and make two more dishes."

As he said this, he wanted to pull Diao Buyu and Shunzi away.

"stop!"

Jiang Xuan said coldly, "Do you think my house is the Dragon Gate Inn?"

"cough……"

Jin Xiangyu coughed lightly, then quickly stepped forward and took Jiang Xuan's hand, saying delicately, "Hey, husband, don't be angry. We saw that you hadn't come yet, and we had nowhere else to go, so we came to your house to wait for you to come back."

"Speak properly!" Jiang Xuan's eyelids twitched.

When Jiang Xuan heard Jin Xiangyu acting coquettishly, and thought of her more heroic appearance than a man just now, he felt goose bumps all over his body.

"Humph!"

Jin Xiangyu snorted in dissatisfaction: "Just talk nicely!"

"Marry a chicken, follow the chicken; marry a dog, follow the dog. You are my man, so of course I have to follow you. Anyway, wherever you are, there I am!"

Jiang Xuan frowned. "Jin Xiangyu, I know exactly what kind of person you are. Now you also know who I am. We were just playing along at the Dragon Gate Inn. What do you mean by this? Are you relying on me?"

"Who told you it was just a casual affair? I... I'm serious. Anyway, I'm already here, and I've decided that you're my man for the rest of my life!" Jin Xiangyu snorted and started to act like a rogue.

"..." Jiang Xuan took a deep breath and turned to look at Qiu Moyan: "What about you?"

Qiu Moyan was silent for a moment, then said, "You helped us last time, and I'm not one to be ungrateful. This time I came to the capital to repay your kindness. Whatever you want to do, you can do it at my command."

"Also, didn't you say Wei Zhongxian wouldn't live long? I'll be waiting here."

After a pause, Qiu Moyan added, "...Don't worry, I didn't show up at the government office when I entered the city, so I won't cause you any trouble."

Jiang Xuan said helplessly: "I didn't say I needed you to repay me?"

Qiu Moyan said calmly, "Whether you said it or not is your business, whether I do it or not is my own business. I don't like to owe favors to others."

Although her tone was calm, her cold and determined expression made it clear that she would not leave no matter what she said.

Looking at Jin Xiangyu who was holding him tightly, Jiang Xuan felt a headache.

"Even if you want to repay me, you can't all stay at my house, right?"

Jin Xiangyu snorted and said, "That's right, we are husband and wife, and he is not. She is not allowed to live here."

"Who is your spouse?"

Jiang Xuan glared at her unhappily: "You have to leave too. My house can't accommodate so many people."

"Don't go."

Jin Xiangyu feigned pity and said, "I've come a thousand miles to get here, and you're kicking me out. Besides, I've lost my inn because of you, and even exposed myself to the East Factory. If I leave here, where else can I go?"

Jiang Xuan frowned, but when he thought about how he was really grateful to her at the Longmen Inn, he couldn't help but hesitate.

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

Not knowing what to do for the time being, Jiang Xuan could only sigh, walked to the table and sat down, looked at Heizi and the other two, and said, "Aren't you going to order more food? Go ahead."

The three of them looked at Jin Xiangyu, feeling a little lost.

Jin Xiangyu's eyes lit up, and she glared at the three of them, shouting, "Didn't you hear what the boss said? Hurry up and go!"

"okay!"

The three of them felt relieved, responded quickly, and ran to the kitchen to have more food.

Jin Xiangyu hurried over to sit next to Jiang Xuan, smiling as she brought him bowls and chopsticks, and even helped him pick up food and pour wine: "Come on, husband, you must have been hungry all day. Let's eat something first. Diao Buyu's cooking skills are pretty good..."

"Don't be so attentive. I haven't agreed to let you stay yet. Also, don't call me husband. We're not married yet."

Jiang Xuan snorted, but still picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He was indeed a little hungry.

Jin Xiangyu didn't care and said with a smile, "If you don't want to scream, then don't scream. Then, sir, can I feed you?"

"...Can you be more normal?" Jiang Xuan's mouth twitched. Listening to her acting coquettishly, he got goosebumps all over his body.

"Okay!" Jin Xiangyu smiled happily.

Jiang Xuan sighed helplessly, shook his head, looked at Qiu Moyan and asked, "Why did you get to my house before me?"

Qiu Moyan knew his home address, so Jiang Xuan was not surprised that they could find this place.

Qiu Moyan said softly, "After sending Young Master Yang and his daughter out of seclusion, we parted ways with them. In fact, before we arrived in Pingzhou, we had been following you the entire time. After leaving Pingzhou, we sped up our pace to head to the capital, and we only arrived at your house last night."

"As for her..."

Qiu Moyan snorted softly and said, "She shamelessly followed me here on her own. It has nothing to do with me."

"You're the shameless one!"

Jin Xiangyu snorted coldly, puffed out her chest and said, "I have slept with him before, he is my man, you have nothing to do with him, you shouldn't have come!"

"you……"

"What do you mean by 'you'?" Jin Xiangyu showed no sign of weakness: "If you have the guts, sleep with him too!"

Qiu Moyan's face flushed with anger, but he didn't know how to respond, so he could only curse, "You slut, you have no shame!"

"I am just a slut and shameless, what can you do about it?" Jin Xiangyu was not ashamed and was very proud of it.

"All right!"

Seeing that the two women were about to quarrel again, Jiang Xuan hurriedly stopped them and said in a deep voice: "If you want to stay, then behave yourself!"

"Okay, I was wrong, I'll listen to you."

When she heard that she could stay, Jin Xiangyu's anger turned into joy, and she quickly hugged Jiang Xuan's arm and started acting coquettishly again.

Jiang Xuan felt a little tired.

But what can we do now? Can we really drive them away?
The atmosphere fell silent.

Jiang Xuan ate his meal absentmindedly, frowning as he pondered how to settle them.

To be honest, he already had the idea of ​​creating a force that belonged only to him.

Therefore, the arrival of Jin Xiangyu and others can’t actually be said to be a bad thing.

After all, they are all quite strong.

Especially Qiu Moyan, with his refined swordsmanship and superb lightness skills, he is considered a strong player even among the top masters.

In a one-on-one fight, he would probably be no weaker than Tian Boguang before. However, Jiang Xuan couldn't accurately judge the specific level of his skill, as he had only met a few masters. After all, the realms of acquired martial artists were very vague in the martial arts world.

As for Jin Xiangyu, with his mastery of the scimitar and the hidden weapon scimitar dart, his strength can barely match that of some masters who have just stepped into the first-class ranks.

There is also Diao Buyu.

Jiang Xuan is still deeply impressed by his 'butchering an ox' knife skills.

This knife skill cannot even be considered a martial art, it is just a chef's skill of cutting meat and removing bones, which most chefs in restaurants have to learn.

But to be able to practice a kitchen skill to such an extent and be able to apply it to people, you have to say that this guy is also a genius.

Just based on this lightning-fast swordsmanship, he is no weaker than an ordinary first-class master.

Having three such masters to help is also a great help in building one's own power.

But Jiang Xuan currently doesn't have any particularly good ideas about what to arrange for them to do.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xuan decided to ask for their opinions.

"What do you want to do in Beijing? You can't just stay at my house all day and do nothing, right?"

"The food is here!"

Heizi and Shunzi each came in carrying a dish, one meat and one vegetable, all cut as thin as a cicada's wing and neatly arranged on the plate. It was obvious that it was the work of Diao Buyu.

Jiang Xuan glanced at them casually, then looked at Jin Xiangyu and the other girl.

Hearing Jiang Xuan's question, Jin Xiangyu hesitated for a moment and spoke first: "I want to open an inn in the capital."

Jiang Xuan was not surprised and looked at Qiu Moyan: "What about you?"

Qiu Moyan frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I'm here to repay you. I'll do whatever you want me to do."

Jiang Xuan shook his head helplessly, then thought about it for a moment before telling everyone his true thoughts: "To be honest, I do have the idea of ​​establishing a power, but I haven't decided what I want to do yet."

Create a power?

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then, Jin Xiangyu's eyes lit up and she said, "Husband, do you want to establish a martial arts school and become the leader yourself?"

Jiang Xuan rolled his eyes. "Establishing a martial arts school is not that easy. Besides, my status is not suitable for being the head of a school."

"What I mean is, to create a hidden power behind the scenes, one open and one hidden, to help me gather intelligence and do things that are inconvenient for me to do."

Qiu Moyan frowned and said, "Isn't that just raising retainers and assassins?"

"You could say the same thing."

Jiang Xuan nodded and said calmly, "As you all know, the world is in turmoil right now, especially in the capital, where undercurrents are surging."

"In my current position, I will inevitably do things that offend others. Once the emperor passes away in the future, the situation will inevitably change again. No one can predict what will happen in the future. I have to think about myself in advance."

"I have a useful force under my command. If something unexpected happens in the future, I won't be too passive. At least I can ensure that I can escape unscathed and have multiple options."

Anyway, they all knew his background at this moment, so Jiang Xuan didn't mind revealing his true thoughts to them.

After listening to this, everyone nodded slightly, as if they understood Jiang Xuan's purpose.

Jin Xiangyu thought for a moment, her eyes suddenly lighting up as she said, "Didn't something big happen in the capital these days? The family of former Prime Minister Zhang Haiduan was wiped out. I heard it was done by a killer organization called 'Black Stone'. Why don't we set up our own assassin organization?"

Jiang Xuan was stunned for a moment: "How do you know that this was done by Black Stone?"

"It's being rumored in the martial arts world that many people from the martial arts world have come to the capital in the past few days. They are all here for the 'body of Rama'. We heard about it on the way here. How come you don't know about it?" Jin Xiangyu asked in confusion.

Jiang Xuan was speechless.

He really deserves to be able to open an inn in Longmen. He just arrived in Beijing, but he can find out so much about the affairs of the martial arts world.

However, after thinking carefully about Jin Xiangyu's proposal, Jiang Xuan was also tempted.

It’s not impossible to set up a killer organization.

After all, the most important thing for a killer organization is intelligence, and this happens to be Jin Xiangyu's forte.

Moreover, speaking of the assassin organization, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but think of the last time when he used the pseudonym "Judge" to avenge the daughter of Mr. Wang in the west of the city and received a reward of 1,000 taels of silver.

I have to say, it's really easy to make money as a killer.

If we set up a killer organization and encounter the same thing as last time, it would be like taking the head of the flower thief Tang Pei to the government office in exchange for a few verbal praises. It would be better to take it directly to the victim to collect the reward.

This way, the case can be solved and a reward can be obtained for free. It is indeed the best of both worlds.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Xuan looked at Qiu Moyan and asked, "Miss Qiu, what do you think?"

Qiu Moyan shook his head and said, "I won't kill for money."

"Oh, how could you be so stupid!"

Jin Xiangyu said, "My husband just needs us to gather intelligence and help deal with some things that are inconvenient for him to do. He doesn't insist that we take orders to kill people like other assassin organizations."

Jiang Xuan nodded. "Jin Xiangyu is right. That's exactly what I meant. And even if I really have to take orders to kill people, I will only kill those who deserve it."

"This……"

Hearing this, Qiu Moyan hesitated for a moment.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of her enemy, the "eunuch party".

If I become a killer and someone happens to pay to kill the eunuchs, wouldn't that be a good opportunity for me to kill those corrupt officials and avenge my parents?

Thinking of this, Qiu Moyan nodded and said, "Then I agree too."

Jiang Xuan nodded. "Then let's decide. We'll set up a killer organization. Since you, Jin Xiangyu, want to open an inn, we can use it as a cover."

"Okay!"

Jin Xiangyu was a little excited: "Then we have to give the assassin organization a name first, how about calling it Dragon Gate Inn?"

Everyone's mouth twitched.

"You're afraid that the East Factory won't find you, right?"

Jiang Xuan said in a deep voice, "If you want to stay in the capital, don't mention anything related to the Dragon Gate Inn anymore."

"Not only can we no longer use the original name, but the inn is also not allowed to have a name related to the Dragon Gate Inn."

"The last time you killed Cao Shaoqin at the Dragon Gate Inn, you were exposed in front of the East Factory's guards. Although only a few of them survived in the end, this incident is still a hidden danger..."

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel a headache.

Jin Xiangyu wanted to open an inn, but the inn was a place with a lot of people coming and going. If the ten or so foreigners who had seen their appearance last time happened to go to the inn and recognized them, there would definitely be trouble.

"How about we go and kill those barbarians first?" Jin Xiangyu asked tentatively.

"You think this isn't trouble enough, right?" Jiang Xuan frowned and rejected it.

Qiu Moyan hesitated for a moment and said, "Why don't we wait a while? After all, we only had a quick glimpse last time. If time passes, those people might not even remember us."

"Besides, the East Factory knew we were out of quarantine, but they probably didn't expect us to dare return to the capital. Besides, the capital is so big, it's not certain we'll be able to run into them."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, then let's wait for a while until the rumors about the Dragon Gate Inn have died down."

"But we have to come up with a name for the killer organization first, right?" Jin Xiangyu said again.

Jiang Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said slowly, "Let's call it 'Netherworld'."

It is invisible to the eyes and inaudible to the ears, and is called the underworld.

The underworld also refers to the underground and the underworld.

The last time he killed the flower thief Tang Pei, he used the alias "Judge", who also happened to be the Yin spirit in charge of judgment and punishment in the underworld.

……

After dinner, Diao Buyu and the other two began to clean up the dishes.

Qiu Moyan jumped onto the roof to enjoy the breeze and watch the sunset. His back, combined with the setting sun in the sky, looked quite artistic.

Seeing that Jin Xiangyu was about to pester him again, Jiang Xuan quickly sent her away, took off his shirt, and went to the yard to practice sword.

[Martial Arts: Wild Wind Sword Technique (Minor Success)]

【Progress: 872/1500】

In the past few days, he has been focusing on practicing the Kuangfeng Sword Technique, so his proficiency has improved rapidly.

At this rate, it would take another five or six days at most to master the Gale Sword Technique.

There are huge changes in the improvement of this Gale Sword Technique at each stage.

Especially the three or four hidden back-up moves after each move. Jiang Xuan tried it and even tried to combine it with the sword moves practiced in the Xiuchun Sword Technique. In an instant, he slashed out four or five swords, and each sword carried a bloody and domineering force, suppressing the opponent with absolute power, and the opponent could not resist at all.

However, since he comprehended the sword power, he has never fought seriously with anyone. The only people he defeated, Ding Xiu and Qiu Moyan, were directly suppressed by his realm without using his full strength.

As for Cao Shaoqin, he was killed indirectly by a hidden weapon, and he had never fought with Cao Shaoqin directly.

Therefore, Jiang Xuan still has no rough understanding of his current strength.

"Never mind, let's practice first. If there's no opponent, it's actually a good thing."

Shaking his head, Jiang Xuan took the Embroidered Spring Sword and began to practice the Kuangfeng Sword Technique.

Whizzing--

Soon, sharp whistling sounds were heard in the yard, and gusts of wind blew up the fallen leaves and dust on the ground from time to time. The moves were swift and treacherous, but each knife move contained a domineering sword force that was captivating.

Hearing the noise, Jin Xiangyu and others couldn't help but walk out of the room and sit on the stone steps beside the door to watch.

Even Qiu Moyan, who was watching the sunset on the roof, turned around at some point and looked at the agile and tall figure in the yard with a solemn and admiring look in his eyes.

She had witnessed Jiang Xuan's strength with her own eyes before at Jinglu Tunbao.

Even though he had mastered the swordsmanship at that time, he still seemed to be struggling even when fighting against top masters.

Now, only half a year has passed, but he has already mastered the sword skills and become a top master.

Last month, when she was rescuing people in Longxi, even though she had been practicing at the first-class level for more than a year, she couldn't even withstand a single blow from Jiang Xuan.

It can be seen how strong Jiang Xuan is at this moment!

Moreover, with such a terrifying talent for martial arts, who knows what incredible heights he can reach in the future...
