"Young master, the master is out of customs. "Yan San had just returned to the Earl's Palace, and Uncle Zhong said to Yan San. However, Uncle Zhong was not happy, but worried.

"Daddy is out of customs. Yan Sanyi was happy, and rushed inside.

Yan Jiu was sitting in the gazebo, looking at the rockery and lake, when Yan San rushed in, Yan Jiu came back to his senses, saw Yan Jiu Tu, Yan San stopped, looked at Yan Jiu, Yan San was stunned.

Because the Yan drunkard is older than before entering the customs, his hair is completely white, there are more wrinkles, and his eyes have lost their previous look.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Yan San hurriedly walked over and asked, with an ominous omen.

Yan Jiu laughed and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I failed to rush through the level and scattered my strength." "Because of the righteous son, the Yan Liquor Disciple has a strong survival **, so he forcibly rushed through the level, with the qualifications of the Yan Liquor Apprentice, it is difficult to break through the level of the general, so that the Yan Liquor Apprentice went mad, in an emergency situation, the Yan Liquor Disciple has only one choice, to disperse the strength of the whole body, and save the surname.

In order to be able to see Yan San, as well as those unfinished future affairs, Yan Jiu chose to scatter his work. If the Yan Liquor Disciple didn't force himself to rush through the level, or maybe he could live for two or three more years, but now, the Yan Liquor Disciple who had lost his strength had reached the point where he ran out of oil and dried up.

"Dad!" Yan San's heart trembled, he finally had a relative, and he was about to leave him again? Yan San was in a hurry, and hurriedly said, "Dad, I'll go to the doctor to show you." He said and wanted to get up.

However, he was stopped by Yan Jiutu, who smiled and said: "San'er, birth, old age, sickness and death, that is the law of heaven, no one can avoid it, even if you reach the level of the god of war, you will die of old age one day." I've lived for more than 90 years, longer than many people, and life and death are no longer remarkable, and it's worth it. Now in this situation, even the divine doctor can't save it, if you have that filial piety, stay by my side, I think when I die, you will send me to the end. ”

Yan San's heart trembled, nodded tightly, and said, "Don't worry, Dad, I've always been by your side." ”

"Heh, why are you so sad, let's go, let's go have two drinks. The Yan drunkard laughed heroically and said.

"Good. Yan San also agreed, knowing that he didn't have much old man, so he also accompanied him and let him enjoy his old man.

In the next day, Yan Jiu's body was getting worse day by day, and his hair began to fall out when he lost his strength, and it seemed that his life was coming to an end.

Yan Jiu also saw it, he didn't take life and death to heart, he could smile every day, and all Yan San could do was make him happier, so Yan San had been with him for more than ten days.

That night, Yan Jiu called Yan San to the study, and after the two sat down, Yan Jiu took out a letter with fire paint on it, which was the Yan family's exclusive fire paint, and said: "Child, my body bones are not good, with my body bones, I am afraid, I am afraid that I will not be able to go to Beijing to start Your Majesty." This is my handwritten letter and recommendation letter, with my painting on it, the big seal of the Yan family. As long as you go to the Ministry of Officials in Beijing, hand over my handwritten letter and letter of surrender to the officials, and hand it to Your Majesty, after Your Majesty reads my handwritten letter and recommendation letter, he will definitely agree to your inheritance of the title, and after Your Majesty's approval, you will be the master of Huodu County, the Earl of the Yan family. ”

"Daddy......" Yan San wanted to say, but was interrupted by Yan Jiu, Yan Jiu said: "You put away these two letters, these two letters are the most important thing." ”

Yan San nodded and carefully put away the two letters.

Yan Jiu took out a big seal, a jade seal, gave it to Yan San, and said: "This is the big seal of our Yan family, if it is not stamped with our big seal, all the orders on this fief will be invalid." Hide it well, and don't let anyone know where this seal is, which only the Count knows. ”

Yan San nodded silently and put away the big seal.

Subsequently, Yan Jiutu took out a sword, the scabbard is very simple, it seems that this sword is some years, Yan Jiutu pulled out the long sword, only to see that the sword body has been dark, the blade is a little blunt, Yan Jiutu smiled bitterly, and said: "This is the sword used by the first generation of our Yan family head back then, called the Kiss Blood Tooth Sword." Although this sword is of little use, generations of family heads have obeyed the ancestral teachings and passed on this sword. Today, I pass on this Bloody Fang Sword to you. ”

Yan San took the Kiss Blood Fang Sword and looked at it carefully, the blade was very blunt, the sword body was not shiny, and it was dark and rusty, such a sword, I am afraid that it is not even worth a tael of silver, but, the family heirloom sword, Yan San had to put it away.

In the end, the Yan drunkard took out a badge, rubbed it, handed it to Yan San, and said, "This is the micro seal of the Yan family, representing the glory of our Yan family." Speaking of this, the Yan drunkard smiled bitterly and said, "Heh, our Yan family doesn't have much glory now. ”

"Child, I don't give you any grand expectations, not to mention the responsibility of revitalizing the Yan family or anything, you don't fall into a situation like me, in the end, alone. As long as you don't discredit the Yan family, that's fine. You must remember that you must marry a wife and have children, and pass on the blood of the Yan family. Yan Jiu said.

"Dad, I know. Yan San nodded hurriedly.

Yan Jiu said with a smile: "Although I have been a failure in my life, I am very happy that at the end of my life, I still have a son like you by my side, and God is not thin on me." I don't have any regrets in my life......"

Listening to what the Yan drunkard said, Yan San held the hand of the Yanjiu disciple tightly, and unconsciously, his eyes were wet.

The father and son sat together and talked a lot of gossip, and finally, the Yan drunkard was a little tired and said, "Child, I'm a little tired, I want to take a break, you can go and rest too." ”

Yan San nodded silently, and only after helping Yan to sleep did Yan San leave.

After all, the Yan drunkards still came to the end of their lives, and the yang life was over, and the next day the Yanjiu disciples still didn't hold on, or they didn't have the call to die, and accompanied by the care of Yan San and Uncle Zhong, they closed their eyes and passed away.

Uncle Zhong cried like a tearful man, Yan San couldn't help but silently shed his eyes, this was the first time he shed tears after he crawled out of the cemetery, in the place where the swords and spirit beasts were in danger and life hung by a thread, Yan San did not shed tears, today, to send away the Yan wine apprentices, Yan San shed tears.

Although he worshiped under the knees of Yan Jiu for less than a year, the heroism of the old man and the open-mindedness of the old man were deeply imprinted in his heart. Although he is not born to Yan Jiu, in Yan Sanxin, Yan Jiu is his father.

The Yan family sent a funeral, although no one was invited, but after the news of the death of the Yan drunkards spread, the people of Huodu County came to mourn, and the Yan family was blocked, and tens of thousands of people in Huodu County came to mourn the Yan drunkards, and many people spontaneously came to help Yan San to help Yan San handle the funeral.

Yan drunkards are loved by all the people of Huodu County, so when the Yanjiu disciples die, the people of Huodu County spontaneously wear mourning and filial piety, and the whole Huodu County is white, and mourning flags can be seen everywhere.

The body of the Yan drunkard has been placed for two days, let people come to mourn, and it will be buried tomorrow, at noon, Uncle Zhong, who was receiving guests outside, hurriedly broke in, and said to Yan San, who was guarding the coffin: "Young master, the county is here, he came with a large number of people and horses, and there is also the state pastor to accompany him." ”

"County Cheng?" Yan San raised his head, the county leader of Huodu County, to put it bluntly, is the housekeeper of the Yan family, or rather, the staff of the Yan family, no matter which way it is said, anyway, the county leader of Huodu County is the family of the Yan family. The Yan drunkards usually handed over Huo Duyan's administrative affairs to the county to take care of.

In the Hanba Empire, there were two heads of a place, namely Shou and Mu, for example, a city one level higher than a county was a state, the state shou was in charge of the administrative power of a state, and the state pastor was in charge of the military power of a state.

"Young master, I see that the county is fierce, but I'm afraid that they have bad intentions, you be careful. Uncle Zhong whispered in Yan San's ear.

"I'll go out and have a look. Yan San stood up and walked out.
