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

Chapter 8: Archery skills are a little bit better, let’s get started!
The next day.

The search for Shen Lian and Hokusai is still proceeding as normal.

Jiang Xuan continued patrolling the streets with his team early in the morning.

It was not until noon that Pei Lun sent someone to invite him to the restaurant where he had been last night.

When Jiang Xuan arrived at the restaurant, Pei Lun and Yin Cheng were already waiting.

Seeing everyone gathered, Pei Lun didn't waste any words and said directly, "I have already discussed this matter with Lord Xu. He told us to investigate without worry. He will cover any problems. Even if we don't find the person first, he will not forget our contribution."

Pei Lun smiled as he spoke: "It seems that the day when I will be transferred back to the Northern Division is not far away."

"That's great!" Yin Cheng was also very happy.

"Thanks so much, brother!"

Pei Lun looked at Jiang Xuan, raised his glass and said, "Come on, brother, have a drink!"

Jiang Xuan drank the whole cup and said, "If that's the case, then all we need to do next is send someone to keep an eye on Prince Xin's mansion and wait for the opportunity."

"Not bad!"

Pei Lun said in a deep voice, "Find a few people who are tight-lipped and take turns to keep watch. I don't believe they won't meet each other. Of course, we can't put all our eggs in one basket. We still have to look for them, especially at your house, Brother Yin."

Pei Lun glanced at Jiang Xuan and said, "Since that thief has threatened not to let you go, there's a good chance they'll strike again. If they find out you're staying at my place, and they ambush me or even set me on fire, it's bound to alarm your aunt. You mustn't let your guard down!"

"Don't worry, I've already thought of this. Last night I had a few brothers stake out my house, and each of them was carrying a signal arrow."

Yin Cheng smiled grimly and said, "If they dare to come to my house again, I will make sure they never come back!"

"That's good." Pei Lun nodded slightly, finished his drink, stood up and said, "Let's get started."

Jiang Xuan and Yin Cheng also stood up, nodded, and left.

Over the next few days, the three of them followed the plan and took turns sending people to keep watch at Prince Xin's Mansion, and during their shifts they led the team to search with others as usual.

Jiang Xuan and Yin Cheng were also very vigilant. They even kept their swords with them when they slept at night, always on guard against Ding Baiying.

But for three consecutive days, the other party did not make any movement, as if they had disappeared out of thin air, and no trace was found.

Jiang Xuan was on duty during the day, and when he was done he would go back to practice martial arts. He would practice until late at night almost every night before going to bed.

Such high-intensity training not only made Yin's mother feel distressed, but even Yin Cheng felt a little headache and puzzled.

I don’t understand why Jiang Xuan is fighting so hard.

Martial arts is not something that can be mastered in a day or two.

Besides, you just practice the same few moves over and over again. What’s the point of practicing them? Isn’t it enough to just master them?
But no matter how much they tried to persuade him, the mother and son could only let him do what he wanted.

But perhaps because he felt sorry for his nephew, ever since Jiang Xuan came over, meat has been included in almost every meal these days, and he eats meat right after Jiang Xuan. Yin Cheng even felt a little jealous and started to wonder if he was his biological son.

And Jiang Xuan did not let Yin's mother's efforts go to waste.

Under such meticulous care, coupled with his daily diligent practice, not only did his martial arts progress increase rapidly, but his body also seemed to have undergone a secondary development, and began to grow stronger day by day, visibly.

yard.

Jiang Xuan, shirtless, holding a double crossbow, aimed at a pomegranate tree ten meters away. With a "whoosh", two short arrows were fired at the same time, accurately piercing the center of the tree trunk.

At this time, there were more than a dozen arrows densely stuck on the tree trunk.

Ever since escaping from Ding Baiying that night, Jiang Xuan realized the importance of long-range hidden weapons, so he began to take time to practice the double-arrow crossbow.

Unexpectedly, this pair of crossbows were also included in the system panel. As long as you practice seriously, you can increase your proficiency and improve your realm.

Skills: Archery (Minor Achievement)

【Progress: 0/1000】

Just like basic swordsmanship and body skills, the experience required for entry-level archery is 100, minor mastery is 300, and major mastery is 1,000.

The only difference is that this "archery" is not a martial art, but is defined as a "skill" by the system.

That's reasonable.

After all, archery is not a profound martial art and can be practiced as long as you have a bow.

"call……"

Looking at the display on the system panel, Jiang Xuan let out a long breath.

As his archery skills improved, not only did his physical fitness improve, but his eyesight and hearing also seemed to have improved.

In addition to this archery skill, he has now mastered three martial arts to a small degree.

Moreover, as his physical fitness improved, his practice speed also became much faster, and his proficiency naturally improved faster.

If he continues like this, in a month at most, he will be able to master all three martial arts!
"continue!"

Seeing that it was still early, Jiang Xuan took a short rest and then continued to practice hard.

Diligence can make up for clumsiness.

He does not have any profound internal skills, and his talent is not good. Now that he has a system panel, he should practice more diligently.

Only by working harder than others can you become stronger quickly, survive and live a better life in this chaotic era!

The next day.

Jiang Xuan got up early as usual, went to the government office to report for duty, and then led his team to patrol the streets.

Unexpectedly, before he had been on patrol for half an hour, a captain with a different face ran up to him and asked breathlessly, "Excuse me, is this Master Jiang Xiaoqi?"

Jiang Xuan nodded: "It's me, who are you?" "I am a subordinate of Master Pei Lun, a captain of the Southern Division. Master Pei asked me to inform Master Jiang that the bird is out of the cage. Please meet at Xingren Street in Langhuafang, East City!"

Jiang Xuan's expression changed slightly.

'The bird is out of the cage', this was the code word agreed upon by the three of them.

In other words, the traces of Shen Lian and the others have been found!
"Thank you for the message!"

Jiang Xuan did not delay. He thanked the captain who delivered the message and quickly led his team towards Dongcheng District.

"Eh? Brother Jiang! Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Before leaving the South City District, we encountered a patrolling team of Jinyiwei.

The leader was Wen Lianggong, whom they had met a few days ago.

"Brother Wen!"

Jiang Xuan originally planned to say hello and leave, but then he thought of Ding Baiying and Shen Lian's strength, and it would be safer to have a few more people.

And that night, thanks to Wen Lianggong who saved me and brought people to help put out the fire, I owe him a favor.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xuan stopped, his eyes flickering slightly, and said, "I have a contribution to make. I wonder if Brother Wen is interested?"

"Credit?"

Wen Lianggong's eyes lit up: "What contribution?"

Jiang Xuan said in a deep voice: "Brother Wen, if you believe me, bring your men with you."

"This...Brother Jiang, you will be punished if you leave your post without permission. What if something happens..." Wen Lianggong hesitated.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Jiang Xuan shook his head, turned around and left.

"Eh...wait!"

Wen Lianggong took a deep breath and said, "Brother Jiang, I believe you!"

"Brother Wen won't regret it."

Jiang Xuan smiled slightly, said no more, turned around and continued on his way.

Wen Lianggong gritted his teeth and waved his hand, saying, "Follow me!"

The two teams rushed to the agreed location one after the other.

They encountered other patrol teams along the way, but no one interfered. It was not uncommon for the Jinyiwei to be ordered to carry out missions like this every day.

If you step forward to stop them without being careful, and end up delaying someone else's important event, and then get investigated by the higher-ups, no one can afford the consequences.

Soon, the two teams arrived at Almond Street smoothly.

Pei Lun and Yin Cheng seemed to have just arrived, each with a team of men hiding in an alley.

Especially Pei Lun, who was wearing a black flying fish suit and holding a black gold and black iron stick. There were seventy or eighty people following him, and all of them were wearing armor and holding sharp weapons. Almost everyone had a small double-arrow crossbow on his waist. He was worthy of being the Nansi who was in charge of military craftsmanship. His equipment was magnificent.

"Brother Pei, cousin."

Jiang Xuan stepped forward to greet him.

"Cousin."

The two responded, then glanced at Wen Lianggong behind them and frowned, "Who is this?"

Wen Lianggong's heart was already shaken when he saw such a huge formation. When he heard the two people asking, he quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying, "I am Wen Lianggong, a small flag officer under Captain Xu. Nice to meet you two gentlemen."

"Captain Xu? The man from the rear guard Xu Panxing?" Pei Lun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"That's right." Wen Lianggong nodded quickly.

Jiang Xuan stepped forward and said, "Brother Pei, cousin, it was Brother Wen who saved me last time I was attacked. I just happened to meet him on the road, so I brought him along. Having more people will help us stay safe."

Pei Lun and the other two immediately understood Jiang Xuan's intention and nodded, "Alright, let's act together."

"What's the situation now?" Jiang Xuan asked.

"Qingfeng Lane, Qingfeng Teahouse, my people saw them go in with their own eyes." Pei Lun glanced at Wen Lianggong and said nothing more.

Jiang Xuan nodded: "How to proceed?"

"I will take the lead, surround them and fight, and don't let any one escape!" Pei Lun said in a deep voice.

"No problem." Jiang Xuan and Yin Cheng nodded in agreement.

Wen Lianggong listened quietly to the conversation between the three people. When he thought of several major cases that had happened in the past few days, his eyes suddenly became brighter and brighter, and even his breathing became much faster.

"Action!" Pei Lun gave an order and led his men out.

Yin Cheng followed closely behind.

Jiang Xuan glanced at Wen Lianggong and said, "Brother Wen, whether you can achieve meritorious service depends on you."

Wen Lianggong's eyes turned red, and he patted his chest and said, "Brother Jiang, don't worry. I'm not someone who doesn't know the current situation. Just wait and see how I perform and it will be over!"

He looked at the people behind him and shouted, "Everyone, get your shit together! If anyone lets me down, I'll skin him alive!"

"Yes!"

Jiang Xuan couldn't help but smile, waved his hand, and led his men to follow.
