Chapter 551 Chu Xiaomu Learns Xuanzong’s Secret (1)
After the discussion, Xuanying left Chu Xiaomu alone.
Jin Lier looked at the two of them meaningfully, without saying anything, and left with a few followers.
Chu Xiaomu had very sharp ears and Xuanying had the ability to see through things. They knew that everyone had gone far away and there was no one else around them, so they spoke using their real names.
Xuanying asked, "Xiaomu, how long will it take for the food I prepared for you to reach the Bicheng Army?"
Chu Xiaomu replied, "We estimate that we will arrive in four or five days. I have arranged for the people you gave me to report to the Bicheng Army first, and have them take a boat down to the river near Jieyun Pass to meet us. If... if the people from the Golden Sword Sect don't interfere, we will be safe on this journey."
Chu Xiaomu originally wanted to personally deliver the food back to Bicheng with Jinglan and Xiaoying, but Jinglan said that there were still some things that had not been dealt with and she could not leave for the time being. Xiaoying also said that she had not had enough fun and the military camp in Bicheng was too boring and she did not want to go back. Therefore, she asked two of the people arranged by Xuanying to go back to Bicheng to report the news first, and asked Li Xian, the central army, to send someone to meet them.
The distance from Jinyang City to Bicheng is nearly two thousand miles. He was not very worried about being discovered by the people of Chisha Country, because grain was transported by water using large ships. The Chi soldiers had no boats in the Kun River, so they could not be stopped from sailing on the river, which was a hundred feet wide.
Chu Xiaomu was initially worried that Jin Lier would find out her true identity and interfere, but fortunately, she was not exposed. And from the time she had been in contact with her, she found that she respected General Biye very much, and even took the initiative to express her intention to help Bicheng several times. However, she was helpless because the Bronze Armor Army was not under the control of the Jing'an Hall and Yunying Hall.
Chu Xiaomu thought that this young lady Jin was mysterious and unpredictable, and he didn't know whether what she said was true or false, so he kept the purchase of grain and sent it to Bicheng very secretive. In order to avoid suspicion, the grain was shipped out of Jinyangcheng River Port in small boats. It took about seven or eight days to transport all the grain out bit by bit, and only after it was delivered to the port of Xinshanyi did it change to a large ship.
What he was most worried about was the Golden Sword Sect of Golden Sword and Black Sword. The Golden Sword Sect had many disciples, and it would be difficult to transport so much food in the Kun River without escaping their eyes and ears. Once they discovered it, Golden Sword and Black Sword would naturally know it.
If the Golden Blade and Black Sword were really the masked man who attacked General Biye, he would naturally not allow food from Jinyang City to be transported to Bicheng. There might be a tragic battle at that time.
Bu Chu Xiaomu also knew that Xuanying respected his master very much, so he did not say a word about the golden sword and the black sword. Moreover, the fact that the masked man who attacked the general was the golden sword and the black sword was just speculation.
Fortunately, Xuanying, the only major general in Jinyang City, had great magical powers. The food he raised was successfully transported out of the river port and then headed south. As long as he was not discovered by the people from the Golden Sword Sect, everything would be fine.
Xuanying continued Chu Xiaomu's previous words and said, "Master went out for a trip more than a month ago. After he came back, he stayed indoors and didn't even see me. I heard from his attendants that he was in seclusion to comprehend a very profound martial art. He would not care about such trivial matters."
Chu Xiaomu shuddered when he heard this, thinking, could your master really be the masked man who was injured by the general? He said he was in seclusion to comprehend the martial arts, but in fact, he was seriously injured, so he had to hide and recuperate after returning, so he never showed up.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Golden Blade and Black Sword's sneak attack on the general was the most likely possibility. Apart from this person, he couldn't think of anyone else in the world who could injure the general with one palm strike and withstand the blow of the Dragon Soul Sword without dying!
Seeing that Chu Xiaomu was silent and deep in thought, Xuanying did not continue speaking.
Chu Xiaomu asked tentatively: "Xuanying, what kind of person is the Sword Master?"
Xuanying lowered his head and thought for a while, then said, "Master is devoted to martial arts, and is cold and strict to us disciples. He usually doesn't say anything extra, so I don't really understand what kind of person he is. But he taught me martial arts without any selfish motives, and entrusted me with the important task of being the general of Jinyang City. I will never forget this kindness."
Chu Xiaomu nodded and said, "As the number one martial artist in Cangmu Country, the Sword Master is able to manage such a large Golden Sword Sect in an orderly manner. This is indeed remarkable. You have been his disciple for only a few years and yet you have been able to learn the sword techniques from him. This is even more admirable. But now that the Red Soldiers are in trouble, why didn't the Golden Sword Sect send a Golden Officer or a Golden Guard to pick up Yunguan? Will it be..."
Xuanying frowned and said, "Are you trying to tell me whether my master has any dealings with the Chisha people, and therefore did not arrange for his own people to pick up Yunguan?"
Chu Xiaomu nodded.
"Definitely not! When I first arrived in Jinyang City, I was involved in a murder case that killed three people from the Sand Country. I also suspected that the Golden Sword Sect was colluding with the Red Sand Country. Later, I secretly investigated and found that there was no such thing. On the contrary, Master hated the people of the Sand Country very much. Half a year ago, I went to Yinling Town and made a big fuss with his permission."
Chu Xiaomu couldn't help but feel a shudder of fear in his heart, and he became even more certain that the golden knife and black sword were hidden somewhere.
But it is obviously inappropriate to say that he might be the masked man who attacked General Bi Ye. If this is true, it will put him in danger. It seems that I can only find a suitable time to tell him the truth.
Xuanying saw Chu Xiaomu's expression was strange and asked, "Xiaomu, what's wrong? Do you know something?"
Chu Xiaomu shook his head and said, "No, it's just that I've been in Jinyang City for so long and have never seen the Sword Master show up, so I'm a little curious."
Xuanying suddenly sighed and said, "Master has always been mysterious... No matter what, I am his disciple after all..."
Chu Xiaomu didn't know why Xuanying said such a strange thing, and didn't know what to say for a moment. After pondering for a long time, he said: "You are in a tiger's den, you must be careful everywhere. I think the people from the Golden Sword Sect and Yunying Palace are not easy to deal with."
Xuan Ying nodded and said, "I understand that." Suddenly he asked again, "Xiao Mu, have you heard about my Xuan family?"
Chu Xiaomu said to himself that apart from you and Xuan Youzhu, he didn't know any other people with the surname Xuan. He only heard her mention the others once from Master Xishoushan. At that time, she said that Shenwu Bumie had three flag owners with great magical powers, known as the "Born Three Flags", and one of them was surnamed Xuan. Could it be that you have some connection with the Xuan flag owner under Shenwu Bumie?
As expected, Xuan Ying said, "There is a person of great origin in our Xuan family who has been around for dozens of generations. His name is Xuan Nanwu. This ancestor is a master of martial arts. His Force has surpassed the seventh level of moving mountains. He is a well-known figure and admired by everyone. It is said that he was the best Force martial artist in Cangmu Country at that time."
"However, his title of 'the first person in the original force martial arts' is a bit unworthy of the name, because there is another person above this ancestor, and that person is - Yi Ren Shen Wu Bu Mie! Ancestor Nan Wu was just a banner master under him. And Yi Ren Shen Wu Bu Mie should be the real first person in the original force martial arts."
