Snow: The Crown Prince of Chu, forced into marriage by the Minister of the Southern Palace with his

Although he did like Xu Weixiong and would flirt with him every time they met, he was also genuinely afraid.

Because it would be too shameful to die at the hands of one's future woman.

Xu Weixiong turned her head and glanced at Jiang Xuan: "I'll go."

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly. After all, he was an adult, and since no one was around, he could take his time to look around.

After all, signing in is the real business.

As Zhao Kai watched Xu Weixiong's retreating figure, the smile on his face gradually faded.

At this moment, a look of resentment flashed in his eyes as he looked at Jiang Xuan.

Not only did Jiang Xuan embarrass him, but he also made him lose face in front of Xu Weixiong!

He can't bear it!

Zhao Kai narrowed his eyes, and a dagger gleaming with a ghostly light suddenly appeared from his sleeve.

However, before Zhao Kai could walk over, he suddenly heard footsteps.

Zhao Kai hurriedly put away the dagger, a bright smile spreading across his face. He then turned around and waved his arm.

"Wei Xiong, why are you back again?"

Xu Weixiong ignored the title and glared fiercely at Zhao Kai.

"Come with me. If you lie to me, I'll chop you into pieces right here and now."

Chapter Sixteen: Assassination, The Move is Made

Jiang Xuan watched the two people leave with a calm expression, then shook his head with a light laugh.

He had already seen the other person's eyes before this, and Jiang Xuan felt no anger at Zhao Kai's desire for revenge.

After all, this is normal.

However, he was not one to passively accept his fate, nor was he the type to leave problems unresolved.

If the two of them had fought, Zhao Kai would have been dead without a doubt.

Why did he care what kind of prince the other party was?

Do you care?

not give a damn about!

However, to his surprise, Xu Weixiong was indeed very clever and returned immediately.

She knew Zhao Kai might retaliate against her, but she had no evidence.

As for taking Zhao Kai away directly, that seems to be the best solution for now.

If it's another problem, then you'll just have to solve it yourself.

Xu Weixiong seems very confident in his abilities, Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

However, he turned and left without paying any attention.

Jiang Xuan looked at the slightly steep cliff in front of him and couldn't help but purse his lips.

Although this place isn't particularly high, is it worth putting the room here?

Is this what literati and scholars were thinking?

In Jiang Xuan's opinion, it was a bit outrageous.

However, he didn't care and just kept walking uphill step by step.

Halfway there, Jiang Xuan looked at the house not far away, suddenly stopped, and then slammed the long sword in his hand to the ground.

click!

With that sound, a burly man appeared before him.

Two more people walked out from behind, one looking ordinary and the other slightly hunched over.

Jiang Xuan sighed, but it wasn't a mournful sigh; he just felt it was a bit troublesome.

After all, in his view, things should be peaceful before signing in, and he didn't want to cause public outrage before he even successfully signed in.

trouble!

However, Jiang Xuan did not regret writing that poem. After all, some troubles are self-inflicted, but some troubles come looking for you.

Pity.

Jiang Xuan thought to himself.

Unfortunately, my desire to travel was thwarted.

"You're Zhao Kai's men, aren't you? You've come to kill me?"

The burly man in front of him stepped forward, carrying a large knife in his hand, and exuding a bloodthirsty aura.

"Zhao Zhenlong".

Jiang Xuan could tell that this person must have come from a military background, as he carried the murderous aura and ferocity of a soldier.

There are many such people in the Shangyin Academy, after all, it is the highest institution of learning in the Liyang Dynasty.

In addition to teaching poetry, calligraphy, painting, music, chess, and chess, it also includes literary and military strategies, the art of geomancy, and the principles of Yin and Yang.

Han Guzi, one of Xu Weixiong's teachers, was a military strategist from the Shangyin Academy.

After Zhao Zhenlong finished speaking, the two people behind him also revealed their names.

"Xu Yang, Wang Haiyang."

Jiang Xuan nodded slightly, without saying anything.

One first-grade Vajra Realm expert, and two second-grade minor grandmasters.

However, these are all in the initial stages.

Jiang Xuan's gaze fell on Zhao Zhenlong. Compared to the other two, this guy was the truly troublesome one.

He's at the first-grade Vajra Realm, and he just came down from the battlefield not long ago.

Zhao Zhenlong was currently brimming with killing intent, and even against a mid-stage Vajra Realm expert, he might have a fighting chance.

This is somewhat troublesome for Jiang Xuan.

However, he didn't seem to care, simply looking at him calmly and casually asking, "All three together?"

Zhao Zhenlong originally intended to finish the battle quickly, since no one knew when Xu Weixiong and the others would return.

But upon hearing Jiang Xuan's words, and considering that he had previously heard that Jiang Xuan had made a move and possessed the strength of the Finger Profound Realm, Zhao Zhenlong suddenly hesitated.

Because Jiang Xuankong has a realm of cultivation, but no real strength.

Moreover, according to the head priest of Shangyin Academy, this kid could potentially end up like him in several ways.

First, after being injured, the impact of falling.

Second, rare and precious materials are used to forcibly elevate one's cultivation level.

Third, the true meaning of martial arts.

The first one goes without saying. Some people get injured and fall from their realm, while others fall from their strength. This is all very normal.

Secondly, recently, he consumed rare and precious medicinal herbs that could enhance his cultivation level.

As for how to continue improving our strength, we only need to leave it to time.

As for the third, the true meaning of martial arts, that's even simpler.

That is, a sudden enlightenment, instantly granting one the corresponding level of attainment.

It's like someone waking up one day and suddenly ascending to heaven in broad daylight, becoming a terrestrial immortal.

However, of these three situations, the third one, the true meaning of martial arts, is the most difficult to achieve.

After all, there are countless martial artists in this world.

Those who can grasp the true essence of martial arts are extremely rare, almost nonexistent.

Regardless of which one, Jiang Xuan is currently only a fourth-rank martial artist.

And what about him?

A first-grade Vajra Realm expert!

A first-rank official against a fourth-rank official is bound to win no matter what.

However, if one could be in the Vajra Realm, one could properly experience the realm of the Finger Profound Realm.

This will be of great benefit to his future advancement in cultivation and breakthrough to the Finger Profound Realm.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhenlong did not hesitate and walked towards Jiang Xuan with his broadsword.

"You two, don't go up there."

Upon hearing Zhao Zhenlong's words, Xu Yang showed a hesitant expression.

But before he could speak, Wang Haiyang reached out and grabbed him.

He wasn't tall to begin with, and he had a sleazy look on his face.

"Anyway, we've already taken the money, so let's just wait and see."

"But……"

Before Xu Yang could finish speaking, Wang Haiyang waved his hand, interrupting him directly: "But what? Brother Zhao alone could kill him."

"Even if Brother Zhao can't kill him, with the two of us here, do you think he'll escape?"

Upon hearing Wang Haiyang's words, Xu Yang, who had originally intended to speak, also shut his mouth.

However, he didn't seem as relaxed as Wang Haiyang. He gripped his longsword tightly, and his eyes revealed tension.

Wang Haiyang glanced at Xu Yang, a look of disdain flashing in his eyes.

However, he immediately turned his head away because Zhao Zhenlong and Jiang Xuan had already started fighting.

Zhao Zhenlong's swordsmanship was wide and sweeping, and Jiang Xuan could tell that it was mostly military-style moves.
