Chapter 3: Do you know him?

  The noisy street was suddenly silenced by his rebuke. More than 20 masked men around him looked up at him, and it took them a long time to remember to continue their actions.

  "Get out of the way!" The masked man closest to him stared at him, both shocked and furious. "Dont block our way of upholding justice!"

  Presumptuousness in speaking on behalf of Heaven? He coldly laughed and said sideways: "Disturbing ones coffin is a great sin of losing virtue."

  "Disturbing someones coffin is a great sin, but this one contains a beast!" The man said with hatred, "Jiang Xuanjin, you also know how sinful she is, why do you want to stop us?"

  This group of people can still call out his name? Jiang Xuanjins eyebrows slightly moved, he reached out to grab the white cloth burning on the coffin, and with a swift swing, he knocked down two masked men who were about to make a move at the back. There was someone else trying to climb up beside him, he glanced sideways, and with a slight lift of his toes, he kicked away a large knife that was beside him.

  The sword flashed with a sharp edge, splitting the green stone and standing still. The blade trembled ceaselessly, emitting bursts of humming sounds.

  The people who wanted to get on the bus looked at it in horror and didnt dare move.

  The leader was really angry and pointed his knife at him, saying: "You dont drink the toast, you have to drink the penalty wine!"

  Jiang Xuanjins eyes were calm as he looked at him, slowly opening his mouth, his voice like a jade strike: "No matter what wine, if you have the ability to make me drink it, then come and try."

  The funeral procession was cut off into three sections, with the front and rear sections blocked by masked men, unable to support the middle section where the coffin was. With flames raging on one side and a large crowd of people on the other, Li Huaiyu really couldnt understand where Jiang Xuanzhen got the nerve to say such things.

  He has nothing but an empty reputation!

  The leader sneered, "Youre just a young master from a noble family whos learned some martial arts skills for a few years and thinks you can take on everyone? If you insist on protecting this beast, dont blame us for being rude. Attack!"

  The last word was shouted to the side, a group of masked men heard the command and immediately rushed towards the coffin without hesitation.

  Li Huaiyu furrowed his brow in concern.

  Dont get me wrong, shes not worried about Jiang Xuanjin at all. Its just that if the fight is held next to her coffin, wont it be damaged? The golden silk nanmu wood is hard to come by and cant be easily replaced. Today is a good day for burial, what if they miss it and affect her future luck?

  She glanced at the clothing of the masked group, then looked down at her own dark robes, and suddenly had an idea. She loosened her hair and casually tied it up, tore off a corner of her robe to cover her face, and crouched down to blend in with the crowd.

  Jiang Xuanjin was already entangled with someone, and the opponent slashed a knife horizontally. He flipped over and jumped out of the coffin, neatly knocking down two people, then snatched a long sword and cooperated with Cheng Xu to kill out a place to stand.

  So many people around him, after a dozen or so moves, no one could make him see blood.

  The leader stared at the turquoise figure in the encirclement, both angry and fearful: "Your Majesty, youre a good person, why must you come to this muddy water!"

  "A country has its laws, and etiquette has its rules." The sword tip cut through a mans knee, Jiang Xuanjin replied to him, "Danyang has already been punished by law, your behavior is against the imperial court."

  "Is her death enough?" the leader angrily asked, "Pingle Jun was innocent, yet this woman had him killed without a whole corpse! Zhang Neishi was also a loyal servant who served the previous emperor, but she had him dragged from the front hall to the palace gate and tortured to death! She controlled the government, disregarding the plague that affected seven counties and treating the people of the world like ants! Such a person should be torn apart by five horses, how can we comfort the spirits in heaven!"

  He glanced at him, and Jiang Xuanjins expression changed slightly, as if he had been persuaded.

  The leader was overjoyed and hastily took a step closer to him: "Your Majesty is also the pillar of the country, Princess Danyangs poisonous wine was still handed to her by you, you..."

  He thought you should also hate her, shouldnt you?

  But before he could say this, a long sword flashed like a snake and swiftly crossed his throat.

  "Let them retreat." Jiang Xuanjin said calmly, "If you continue to fight, you will only end up being surrounded. With me here, you cant move this coffin."

  "You!" The leaders face turned iron-gray, "You cant tell right from wrong!"

  "Is it?" Jiang Xuanjin looked at him and said, "I understand better than you."

  He sneered and let the leader take him hostage, shouting: "Everyone, come on! First, dismantle that coffin, dont mind me!"

  "Yes!" The person next to him responded, and five people surrounded Jiang Xuanjin and Cheng Xu. The rest of the people ran to the other side, raised their iron shovels, and were about to smash the coffin.

  Jiang Xuanjins expression suddenly turned serious, and he quickly withdrew his hand, intending to intercept.

  However, the leader next to him seemed to have anticipated his move, and with a swift motion, he pulled out a dagger from his palm and twisted his face into a scowl, shouting: "Since you want to protect this beast, then go die together!"

  "Be careful!"

  A fierce aura descended upon him, Jiang Xuanjin turned his head around, but it was already too late to dodge.

  In a flash of lightning, a person suddenly jumped out from the crowd, holding a wooden stick picked up from somewhere, and quickly and accurately hit the leaders back of the head.

  "Clang!" A dull sound, the mans dagger stopped at Jiang Xuanjins lower back, just one inch away. His body swayed, stumbled twice, and he turned his head to look back in disbelief.

  Jiang Xuanjin was slightly stunned, and he also raised his head to see a petite masked person staring at the leader with almond-shaped eyes. Seeing that he didnt fall, he immediately added another blow.

  With a "thud", the leader finally collapsed to the ground.

  Li Huaiyu kicked him in frustration, feeling that he was too useless. His movements were so slow! She had been waiting for the perfect moment to strike, hoping to kill two birds with one stone. But this mans movements were clumsy and short, and Jiang Xuanjin had already dodged to the side, avoiding the fatal blow. Even if he managed to land a hit, it wouldnt be enough to kill him.

  Its better for her to come and deliver it personally.

  "You..." Jiang Xuanjin looked at her in confusion, just about to ask a question, when the iron spade of the coffin bearer had already fallen.

  Her pupils contracted, and Huai Yu reacted extremely quickly. She picked up the wooden stick and threw it fiercely, knocking down one of the iron hoes, but she couldnt do anything about the rest.

  "Go and stop him!" She pushed Jiang Xuanjin forward.

  She pushed him back two steps, Jiang Xuanjin didnt have time to think of anything else, propping up the coffin and passing by, continuing to entangle with the masked man who was smashing the coffin on the other side.

  "Your Highness!" The Tiger Seal Middle General who led the vanguard finally broke through the blockade and rushed over with his men to provide support. Seeing Jiang Xuan being surrounded, he turned pale with fright and hastily shouted, "Quickly save Your Highness!"

  Hua Yu couldnt help but roll her eyes, thinking that it was fortunate that Jiang Xuanjins skills were good. At the speed they were rescuing people, if someone with inferior skills had come instead, there would have been another coffin needed.

  The situation has turned around, and this group of masked men are not stupid either. They immediately carried their leader away, retreating while fighting.

  "Hey, theyre going to run away! Block the entrance of that alley!" Hua Yu shouted.

  Jiang Xuanjin turned his head to look at her and finally recognized the voice: "Its you."

  She pulled out a handkerchief, and with a smile on her face, she waved at him: "We meet again so soon, we really do have fate."

  Recalling this persons completely unscrupulous behavior just now, Jiang Xuanye furrowed his brow.

  He didnt think it was fate, but rather that the person in front of him was strange and old-fashioned. Looking into his eyes, there was an inexplicable feeling. It seemed like hatred, but she was clearly smiling, yet it wasnt admiration or adoration either.

  Does she know him?
