Chu Jiang and Situ Yan easily entered the inner courtyard, and Yan Lao didn't have many guards.

The two of them don't need to do any deliberate camouflage, there is almost no light in the inner courtyard, and the night is a natural barrier.

"This is also quiet, be careful of deception!" Chu Jiang reminded.

Suddenly, there was a snoring sound in a room.

Chu Jiang and Situ Yan were startled at first, but when they heard it clearly, it was a snoring sound, so they went to find the sound.

When I looked closely, it was Yan Lao's room. At this time, Yan Lao was lying on the pillow with the white-haired couple, and the two were still immersed in a sweet sleep.

"This old man has no heart and lungs, he just quarreled with you during the day, and he still has the leisure to sleep at night. Situ Yan said indignantly.

"Don't be chaotic in the face of danger, don't panic when you encounter problems, this is the one who becomes a big thing, we may underestimate Yan Lao. Chu Jiang was full of praise for Yan Lao at this time.

Chu Jiang gathered Youlong's spirit, entered Yan Lao's room through the crack in the door, and gently opened the drawers and wardrobes, wanting to steal something out.

However, Yan Laozhi's caution surprised Chu Jiang, and there was nothing useful in the room.

It seems that Yan Lao never takes official documents home, and everything is resolved in the Forbidden City, which makes it impossible for anyone with a heart to make a fuss about his work. Chu Jiang secretly admired Yan Lao in his heart.

"Damn, this old man really didn't build it, so wouldn't we have come here in vain today. Situ Yan said dejectedly.

"According to the rules of the thieves, the thieves do not go empty, we come on a giant warbler, we must abide by the rules, and then go to search and search, and find something valuable to bring back. Chu Jiang was talking, and there was a sudden sound of killing outside the courtyard. Several torches lit up the dark night sky.

Chu Jiang and Situ Yan had no time to dodge, and the gate of the Yan Mansion was broken through, and a pair of forbidden troops poured in. And here, Yan Lao also walked out of the room.

Groups of soldiers poured up like a tide, surrounding Chu Jiang and Situ Yan, and surrounded the two of them.

Chu Jiang looked at them and saw that some soldiers had obvious panic and reluctance on their faces, and their eyes narrowed, this group of soldiers didn't seem to be simple.

"Let me see who dares to break into Old Yan's mansion at night?" A voice came from behind this group of soldiers, and then the black tide seemed to be split, and it split to both sides, and a middle-aged man in black armor with broad eyebrows walked out from behind and looked at Chu Jiang.

"It turned out to be our Nanjiang Great Hero, why did you sneak into our Yan Lao's mansion tonight? Could it be that just because Yan Lao is standing opposite to you, you are going to commit murder against him? Do you still have our Great Emperor in your eyes?" The middle-aged man showed a strange smile and looked at Chu Jiang.

"Commander Wang, are you sure that I am here to stab the old man, or is what you say?" Chu Jiang's eyes were like torches, as if he wanted to see through Wang Linghan's heart.

Wang Linghan also clearly felt this gaze, and the expression on his face was unnatural, but just for a moment, his expression returned to the unbeatable appearance just now.

"What, is there any other reason for you to break into the house at night, or are you just just an ordinary person to come to see Old Yan and his old man's house?" Wang Linghan said with a righteous and awe-inspiring voice, as if Chu Jiang had already been convicted.

At this time, the people in the Yan Mansion were also awakened, and the lights were brightened in an instant, and Chu Jiang and Situ Yan were shrouded in many beams of light.

"Commander Wang, what's going on?Why is Chu Jiang in my mansion?" An old voice came out of the house, and then an old man walked out of it, it seemed that he had just woken up, and the old man's pace was still a little unsteady, giving people a weak look.

"See Old Yan!" the soldiers shouted in unison, but the weapon pointed at Chu Jiang in their hands did not put down, as if they were afraid that Chu Jiang would escape.

Yan Lao looked at those soldiers and nodded, revealing a completely different temperament from the old man who was in his last years just now, that was the temperament of a superior person, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, the old man in front of him witnessed the replacement of a generation of dynasties and the rise and fall of Nanjiang Kingdom, so this long-standing temperament on his body could not be concealed, even if he was old.

Then Elder Yan turned his gaze to Chu Jiang, and his eyes showed an indescribable emotion. In fact, he also knew Chu Jiang's excellence, and knew that Chu Jiang was always able to turn the tide. He has rescued Nanjiang Country many times, but Chu Jiang is too popular, and he is about to cover the light of an elder like him, just like the time when he scoured Nanjiang Country in the Xuanyuan family......

His time has passed, maybe his opinion is no longer applicable to the current Nanjiang Kingdom, he is like an old antique, it is difficult to integrate into this new world, and he can only be the object of admiration for future generations, but he still wants to do something, he is not old enough to that extent, he wants to prove that he is still useful.

So he began to be angry with Chu Jiang, and Chu Jiang was against him, this was no longer a fight between him and Chu Jiang, but a struggle between him and the years, no one wants to serve the old easily, let alone a strong man like him, but the replacement of the old and the new is an irreversible trend, so he has to do more so that others will not forget him.

This is the last stubbornness that belongs to an old man, and it is the glory that belongs to him, so he will never give in!

After completely restraining the emotions in his eyes, he turned his head to look at Wang Linghan.

"Commander Wang, what are you doing at night like this? What does this have to do with Chu Jiang?"

Wang Linghan saluted Yan Lao, and then said, "Yan Lao, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but if it weren't for Chu Jiang, I don't think I would have appeared here." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Yan Lao's eyes burst out with a fine light, and at this moment, he completely lost a trace of old age, which brought a strong oppressive force.

However, Wang Linghan, as the commander of the Praetorian Guard, was not intimidated by Yan Lao in this posture, and a smile appeared on his face, "This has to ask our Chu Gang Master, why did he visit Yan Mansion in the middle of the night, and what did he want?"

Yan Lao's heart tightened, "Gang Master Chu, you'd better give me an explanation, this matter won't be solved so easily." ”

In the face of the joint pressure of Yan Lao and Wang Linghan, Chu Jiang was also helpless in his heart, but how could this Wang Linghan be so coincidentally patrolling around Yan's mansion, and then just happened to meet him, which is worth recalling.

Chu Jiang didn't intend to answer Yan Lao's question directly, but asked Yan Lao in turn: "Of course, it's not an accident that I'm here, but isn't it also worth thinking about why Commander Wang Linghan appeared here?"

Situ Yan also said angrily: "You, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, can't even see this situation clearly, so it's better to disarm and return to the field." ”

Yan Lao ignored Situ Yan's sarcasm, and his face changed slightly after thinking of Chu Jiang's words, and then he looked at Wang Linghan and found that his face was also a little abnormal, and he seemed to be very annoyed by the question asked by Chu Jiang. Yan Lao sighed in his heart, as a person who has been active in the court for three generations, of course he is also extremely smart, or he should be cunning, where does he not know that he was used as a gun?

"Who is standing behind this Wang Linghan? At this time, there should be few people in the Nanjiang Kingdom who dare to make a move against Chu Jiang. After thinking about it, Yan Lao finally came to a conclusion, that is, this should be the emperor's instigation, if it is not the emperor, then who dares to touch Chu Jiang, the idol of the current Nanjiang Kingdom?

As for why he did it to Chu Jiang, the word "Gong Gao Zhen Lord" was not just a lip service, Yan Lao thought to himself that if he was in the position of the Great Emperor, it would be difficult for him to let go of his heart, after all, Chu Jiang's prestige had reached an extremely terrifying level, and it was even close to the Great Emperor.

If the emperor is here, if the emperor is gone one day, then with Chu Jiang's popularity, then he is very likely to replace the Seventh Prince, although Chu Jiang does not show much desire for power now, but who can guarantee that Chu Jiang will not have such thoughts in the future?

The most important thing is that with Chu Jiang's talent, it is only a matter of time before he enters the Daozhi, and he is not like the Great Emperor, when the time comes, Chu Jiang will definitely continue to move forward in the Daozhi Realm, so in this case, Chu Jiang will definitely be invincible within the four major powers, so who else can stop him?

Now just by being a double of Tongyou, he can defeat those people who are at the peak of Tongyou, so when he reaches the peak of Tongyou or even higher, then he will be able to pay it back? When the time comes, this Nanjiang Country will be renamed Chu State, and there will be a few people who can resist, and their Nanjiang family can't take this risk, so they must strangle him when Chu Jiang is still weak!

After figuring out this, Yan Lao also fell silent, of course he knew these imperial mental techniques, so he knew what he should do best, but what if it wasn't the order issued by the emperor?

"Commander Wang, you'd better give me an explanation, it's too coincidental that you appear here!" In the end, Yan Lao finally made his own choice.

When Chu Jiang saw this scene, he was also slightly shocked in his heart, it seemed that this Yan Lao was not on Wang Linghan's side, so he and Situ Yan could not investigate Yan Lao.

Wang Linghan listened to Yan Lao's words, and secretly scolded the old fox in his heart, his expression became gloomy, but soon, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he transmitted a voice to Yan Lao: "I heard that Yan Lao, your grandson Yan Li is a leader in the imperial capital, and he is not a fool, so he is very likely to become your successor, but I don't know if his current strength is high?"

Yan Lao's face suddenly changed greatly, his grandson Yan Li has always been his pride, his son and daughter-in-law were assassinated by his political enemies after giving birth to Yan Li, this has always been a pain in his heart, although later he collapsed his political enemies, making that person's family full of beheading,.
