The road to Jianghu started from the martial arts hall

Chapter 184 Qingyang Mansion Jade
With the collision between the two as the center, air waves swept through layer by layer, countless mud, sand, earth and rocks rushed into the sky, and were then turned into dust by the shocking force.

laugh--

After a series of sparks and a sharp friction sound, Yu Jiaolong's petite body leaped back dozens of feet and stood still.

The black-robed master on the opposite side also used the force of the collision to fly backwards, quickly putting distance between himself and Mu Xiangyun.

The three of them stood facing each other.

The black-robed master looked at Yu Jiaolong and unconsciously uttered a word of praise.

"It seems that you are only half a step away from the divine will. You may be able to break through in the next moment. King Yue's "Eight Styles of Washing the Blade" can hurt me, not bad!"

A drop of blood was seen flowing slowly from the palm of his hand. It was his blood, and a wound about two inches long came into view.

Yu Jiaolong's face was gloomy. Although the other party was praising her, she was not happy at all.

With that last slash of the sword, she jumped down from a height of more than ten feet, looking down from above and bringing with her a mighty force. She was confident that her power was no less powerful than a full-strength attack from a grandmaster.

It was not much inferior to the Fire Path Asura move that Fang Xun had used two days ago.

But the black-robed master just stood still and used his palm to resist, rubbing against the saw teeth violently, but it only scratched a layer of skin on the surface of the opponent's palm. It wouldn't take long for the wound to heal.

Yu Jiaolong also felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.

"Is the gap between me and the Grandmaster really that big?"

She has already stepped half a foot into God's will, and the time point when the other half foot will step over may be the next moment, or it may be several years later, no one can tell.

Once she crosses that line, there will be a world of difference, but she is still not a master yet.

On the other side, Mu Xiangyun looked at the black-robed master and asked calmly, "Even if that Pushing Mountain Palm just now was not your original martial arts.

There are only a few masters in Jiangzhou. You have vigorous blood and don't show any signs of aging. You can't be Old Ghost Mo. Let me guess, are you Xue Ren or Sun Donglai, or maybe Qi Huaishan who has already traveled north to Youzhou?"

"Then you take your time to guess. I won't accompany you any more."

The black-robed master simply said this, and his figure flew through the air, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the other party's departing figure, neither Yu Jiaolong nor Mu Xiangyun chased after him.

At this time, the giant white-feathered bird landed steadily. Xue Qianrou jumped off the bird's back and asked in confusion.

"Sister Yu, Uncle Master, why don't you continue the pursuit? Even if you can't catch the black-robed man, you can still track down those alchemists."

Jade Dragon shook his head and said, "This is the enemy's territory. It's best not to go in too deep."

Mu Xiangyun also nodded and said, "Yes, that black-robed man is not alone. Who knows if there are other masters besides Xue Ren in the depths of the Corridor Mountains?"

Yu Jiaolong also calmed down and said, "The intelligence we have gained this time is enough. We can return and go back to find Fang Xun. He will definitely find important clues in the account books of the Sihai Escort Agency!"

As he said that, he jumped onto the giant white-feathered bird, and Mu Xiangyun and Xue Qianrou followed suit.

Soon the three of them returned to the Black Wind Village, ready to rest for a night before setting off again the next morning.

The moon sets and the sun rises, and after the rising sun, the first ray of light shines into the city of Jinling.

At this time, Fang Xun and Dongfang Que finally returned to the mansion after traveling all night.

Fang Xun was fine, but Dongfang Que looked exhausted, and his fair skin had become a little duller. After returning to the mansion, he washed up and went to rest.

Fang Xun was bewildered when Yan Ming handed him an account book.

"Did Yu Jiaolong really tell me this? She wants me to look for clues inside?"

His expression was indescribably excited. He already knew the contents of the Sihai Escort Agency's account book by heart.

But I didn't expect that Yu Jiaolong also went to find the Sihai Escort Agency, and even thought it was too troublesome, so he threw the account book to me.

"She also went to Black Wind Village. Haha, I wonder if she ran into the Grandmaster from yesterday."

After letting Yan Ming leave, Fang Xun pondered for a moment in the room and decided not to slack off any more. He washed up, tidied himself up, and went out with the account book of Sihai Escort Agency.

Fang Xun walked all the way to the Liushenmen headquarters without stopping, and he noticed that there were obviously fewer people on the streets.

Although it is still a bustling scene, it always feels like it lacks a bit of vitality. Not to mention the former Jinling City, even Guangling Prefecture is more prosperous than here.

He knew that this was all caused by a series of recent big news, so he didn't pay much attention to it and came all the way to the Liushenmen base.

After greeting several post-heaven realm guards, Fang Xun had just stepped over the threshold when he suddenly heard a loud and sharp whistle from high in the sky. Looking up, he saw Mu Xiangyun's giant white-feathered bird swooping and whistling towards the station.

Strong winds blew up in the air, causing the sleeves of people on the ground to flutter and their hair to fly.

As if it saw Fang Xun at the door, the Jade Dragon jumped down from the sky and landed beside him.

"Uh, Commander, what are you doing..."

Fang Xun was also startled and asked immediately.

Jade Dragon looked at him in surprise: "Are you healed?"

Fang Xun immediately said solemnly: "In this troubled time, how can I stay at home for long?

As for the injury, after taking the healing pill left by Master, only a few flaws remain, and it will recover naturally in a day or two."

Yu Jiaolong was stunned after hearing this, but his mood, which had become extremely bad because of the events in Chunyang Mansion, finally eased a lot.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Good! You are thoughtful. You can go to the storehouse and pick out a better healing medicine later."

She knew that a magic pill that could make the other party's injury heal in just two days must be very valuable, and Fang Xun certainly would not pay for this kind of work-related injury out of pocket.

As they were talking, the two of them walked into the mansion. At this time, Fang Xun took out the account book and said.

"Commander, Yan Ming explained everything clearly yesterday. I checked all night and found a clue in the account book."

Jade Dragon was invigorated and immediately asked: "Tell me what you found?"

"A few days ago, based on the intelligence the commander brought back from Songlin Peak and other members of the Black Water Abyss, I also discovered something unusual about the Black Wind Village. A large amount of pig iron and food was transported there, so I sent Dongfang Que and Yan Ming out to check it out."

Yu Jiaolong nodded and said, "Yes, thanks to their timely intelligence, otherwise I would not know that Chunyang Mansion has encountered a big problem.

Don't worry, the Six Gates never mistreat people who have made contributions. This time you will be awarded a great merit, and the other two will each be awarded five medium merits!"

Before, Fang Xun captured Qin Wanpeng, caught several members of Black Water Abyss, and even participated in the siege of Liu Yuanxin, giving him a fatal blow.

Each of them is a merit, but the time interval is too short, and Liu Junshan, who is responsible for recording and verifying, is not in Jinling City for the time being.

The Jade Dragon will be recorded in the small notebook for the time being. This time will be the same. It will be officially registered after Liu Junshan returns.

So far, Fang Xun has accumulated two major merits and thirteen medium merits. He thinks that if he works harder, he will probably be able to accumulate a master's unique merit.
Fang Xun just mentioned Yan Ming and Dongfang Que, reminding Yu Jiaolong not to forget their contributions.

He then explained, “If I didn’t know about the Black Wind Village, I might have overlooked the clues in the account books of the Four Seas Escort Agency.

But after learning about the unusual behavior of Black Wind Village transporting large amounts of pig iron to Chunyang Prefecture, he looked at the account books of Sihai Escort Agency and soon discovered clues.

In the past three months, a considerable amount of high-quality jade has been transported to Qingyang Prefecture. This is only the escort received by the Sihai Escort Agency. It is still unknown whether there are other ways to transport it!"

When Yu Jiaolong heard about Qingyang Mansion, he immediately realized something was wrong: "Are you sure it's Qingyang Mansion?"

Qingyang Prefecture is located in the northern part of Jiangzhou.

It looks like it has nothing to do with Chunyang Prefecture, but if there is anything similar to Chunyang Prefecture that Fang Xun noticed, it is the production of jade.

The two prefectures, one is the iron ore supply base of Jiangzhou, and the other is the jade production base with the largest output and highest quality.

However, jade is not like iron ore. It is a high-value item and is even helpful for the practice of warriors. It is a kind of daily practice resource.

Jade is not a bulk commodity like pig iron, which can be shipped in hundreds or thousands of tons at a time.

Even though the Sihai Escort Agency received many orders in the past three months to transport high-quality jade to Qingyang Prefecture, the total amount was less than 20,000 kilograms.

The quantity is small, but they are all high-quality jade, and their value far exceeds ten thousand tons of pig iron.

But also because of the small quantity, it was transported to Qingyang Prefecture in multiple batches, which made it easy to be overlooked.

If Fang Xun had not learned about the abnormal situation of pig iron and looked at the account book of Sihai Escort Agency with a mentality of finding fault, he might have overlooked the abnormality of Qingyang Mansion's jade.

"As for the matter of pig iron in Chunyang Prefecture, I also have some guesses. It may be that Black Water Abyss is settling the accounts!"

"Settling the accounts?"

Jade Dragon immediately asked in confusion.
