Chapter 189: The Old Man of Youzhou
Sending Yan Yueli back to the room to sleep, Ji Beichen set up a few talisman arrays around Yan Yueli, took out the Cangxu Sword in the storage ring, and left it beside the bed to protect Yan Yueli.
When Ji Beichen left the room, Jing Xiaowei also happened to settle Yan Nianxin, who was drunk like mud. Jing Xiaowei was born in the secret guard, and he would have more secret skills than himself, but he was not worried about Yan Nianxin's safety.
Seeing Jing Xiaowei coming out of the room, Ji Beichen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Nianxin has caused trouble for Brother Xiaowei!" ”
Jing Xiaowei saw that Ji Beichen was so polite, and waved his hand again and again: "Brother Ji, I blame me for being greedy for drinking too much, and even Miss Yan drank too much." I don't know what Brother Nianxin can't think of, why is he still persuading me to drink less one second, and the next second he drinks so violently! ”
Yan Yueli drank a lot of wine, and she drank more than Ji Beichen expected, but Yan Nianxin drank too much was something he didn't expect.
Ji Beichen knew that Jing Xiaowei knew Yan Nianxin's life experience, so he didn't shy away from saying: "Nianxin looks stuffy, but in fact, he has a rough life. I heard something at lunchtime, and then I was sad and touched the depths of my heart before I started drinking......"
The two walked downstairs while talking, and when they reached the first floor, there was a person next to Ji Beichen, and the voice of that person was very familiar to Ji Beichen, and he remembered that it was one of the four people in the private room at lunchtime.
Ji Beichen glanced at Jing Xiaowei, Jing Xiaowei immediately understood, nodded, and followed together. The two men followed the man out of the liquor store and headed for the port on the east coast.
Just as Ji Beichen and the others walked out of the inn, the door of the room next to Yan Yueli was gently pushed open, and Yan Nianxin, who looked indifferent, walked out of the room.
He is Yan Mingxiu's righteous son, and he has the true inheritance of his father-in-law, how can he get drunk with just a few glasses of wine. He heard the conversation between Senior Brother Ji and Jing Xiaowei in front of the door just now.
Indeed, as Ji Beichen said, he suddenly drank wine because he heard the conversation of an "old man", which made him recall the past, and he felt unhappy in his heart, so he raised his glass and drank wine together. And he pretended to be drunk, but because he wanted to hide it from Senior Brother Ji and Brother Xiaowei, and went to find out alone.
Yan Nianxin casually drew a charm, turned his wrist, and slapped an invisibility talisman on Yan Yueli's door. This is Yan Nian's new invisibility talisman with added blood, unless it is himself, even if it is a monk in the Mahayana period, it is difficult to detect the cultivation and aura of the people in the house.
At this time, Yan Nianxin was dressed in the monk's uniform of an elder of the Huan Annihilation Sect, with his hair scattered, and turned around and went downstairs. This monk's uniform of the elder of the Radiating Sect was taken off by the secret guard on the elder's pincer scorpion at the sword test meeting. This elder robe is different from the ordinary sect monk robe, it has the special runes and aura of the Radiating Sect, and he is wearing it today to facilitate the news of the sect.
When he was in the hall, he had already secretly placed tracking powder on that "old man", which he had asked for from Jing Xiaowei's body before. He could have used the tracker, but he knew that the "old man" had always been cautious, and he was afraid that the "old man" would find something, so he used a safer method.
Yan Nianxin followed the traces of the powder and soon came to a relatively remote house on the island. The house was built by the sea, it was very elegant, and Yan Nianxin turned over and entered the courtyard with a short body.
At this time, it was the time for lunch and lunch break, and the house was quiet, and there were no servants or servants passing by. Yan Nianxin quickly touched the backyard, which was an inner house by the sea. In the courtyard of the inner house, there are large pink flowers, which are not named, and they are generally wildflowers that grow on the island and bloom all year round.
Yan Nianxin knew that the person he was looking for was in the inner house, so he jumped onto the roof of the inner house, lifted a few tiles, and listened to the sound in the house.
I only heard a man's voice in the inner house: "Sister Sakura, come to my brother's arms!" ”
The woman who was called "Sister Ying'er" exclaimed: "General Xue hates it, knowing that Chen Ying'er is dead, what do you mention 'Ying'er', bad luck!" ”
"General Xue" was not annoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Jiao Niang doesn't understand, the city lord is so precious that Chen Ying'er." After her death, the singers recruited by the house, but anyone who looks like her, he called them Sakura! ”
"Jiao Niang" didn't feel that the man opposite was flattering her, she said contemptuously: "Hmph, the city lord doesn't like Chen Ying'er, it's not because she looks like a new child......
When "General Xue" heard the three words Huan Xin'er, he was so frightened that he hurriedly covered the mouth of "Jiao Niang" and whispered: "Shhh, you be quiet, be careful that the wall has ears!" ”
"Jiao Niang" heard it but didn't think so, and said loudly: "What are you afraid of, now that the city lord has a new backer, I'm afraid that he will do something for a long time!" The slave family doesn't understand, wasn't Huan Xin'er killed by the city lord himself, and the child born to the two was also abandoned in the wilderness by the city lord, why did the city lord still think about that Huan Xin'er? ”
"General Xue" recalled the past, shook his head, and sighed: "Why bother to mention the past, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and the city lord also had his own hardships back then. The little emperor of the Mu family had already issued an order at that time, and the city lord had no choice for the sake of the people of Youzhou, but he didn't want the little emperor Chrysostom to ......
Okay, Jiao Niang, now that the city lord has given you to me, you can serve me with peace of mind, and I will marry you after this mission is completed! ”
Seeing that the two stopped talking, Yan Nianxin put the tile back and thought in his heart. This "General Xue", Yan Nianxin knows, he is the old department of the city lord of Youzhou, and now he is his biological father's confidant.
At lunchtime, in the restaurant on the dock, the private room that Senior Brother Ji listened to, the last man to enter the private room, before he entered the private room, he had lunch with this General Xue. And the man said "the capital sent someone", Yan Nianxin suspected that it had something to do with this General Xue, so he pretended to be drunk and hid his identity to investigate.
Although his father-in-law Yan Mingxiu did not tell him about his life experience, the stubbornness in his bones made him want to know these truths, and after years of inquiry, he finally understood the whole thing.
After learning about his life experience and figuring out the love-hate entanglement of his parents, Yan Nianxin was quickly relieved of the fact that his mother was Huan Qianqiu's daughter. But what he has never been able to accept is that his father turned out to be the murderer of his mother, and he personally ordered himself to abandon himself in the wilderness!
At this time, hearing the conversation between General Xue and Jiao Niang, Yan Nianxin's heart was confused. What kind of holy decree did the Emperor of the Mu family make back then, so that the city lord of Youzhou forced his wife to be killed. According to General Xue's words, does my father really have any unavoidable hardships?
Yan Nianxin remembered early, and the memory of being two years old is still there. He vaguely remembered the appearance of his parents, and the scene he remembered the most was his mother holding him in her arms, waiting for his father to return to the house at the gate of the city lord's mansion. My father always has a cold face to outsiders, but he is extremely tolerant of his mother and himself.
These memories in the depths of his mind had been forgotten by him, but when General Xue's familiar voice came into his ears, Yan Nianxin's dusty childhood memories suddenly emerged. The fragments of memory are connected together and woven into a picture of motherly and fatherly love.
Yan Nianxin realized at this time that his parents' relationship was once so good, and he was also a child who was loved and cared for when he was a child. It's just the gears of fate that make all the good things freeze at that moment.
Yan Nianxin put the cloak of the elder's robe on his head, covering most of his face. He had just found out that General Xue in the room was just a humane foundation cultivator, and the woman called "Jiao Niang" had hidden her cultivation, and her identity was probably not so simple.
He thought for a moment, then tapped his finger and drew a burst charm in the air, turning his wrist towards the door of the wing.
Hearing only a "bang", the burst charm touched the door, directly shaking the two doors away. Suddenly there was a wail from inside the house, and a loud noise attracted the guards of the outer courtyard.
"Who are you, and why are you trespassing on people's houses!" More than a dozen Jindan period guards who built the foundation of the Dao Foundation, armed with swords, surrounded Yan Nianxin.
Yan Nianxin knew that these guards were just the guardians of ordinary people and wealthy businessmen, so he didn't take action immediately, he shook the elder cloak on his body, and with the vibration of his clothes, the runes on the cloak opened, and a strong true qi surged in all directions.
There was a "plop", and a wail sounded in the inner courtyard. The true qi swept by, and the people in the house immediately sensed the abnormality and hurriedly came out of the house.
General Xue, who ran out of the house in embarrassment, saw Yan Nianxin, who was wearing a black cloak in the courtyard, his knees weakened, and he also fell to the ground with a "plop", shouting:
"Xue Zhuang, the general under Chen Ling's account, greets the elders of the Huan Annihilation Sect, and only the head of the Huan Sect is Zhan!"
Yan Nianxin knew that General Xue Zhuang was not familiar with the Elder of the Huan Annihilation Sect, and he only sensed his identity by the aura emanating from this elder's robe.
But the "Jiao Niang" in the house is different, if she is a member of the Demon Sect, then she must be able to sense that her identity is suspicious. He had been dealing with the people of the Demon Sect for many years, and his stepfather, Yan Mingxiu, had already taught him to perceive the differences between the various sects from the fluctuations of the true qi used by the monks, so as to identify the monks of different sects.
Therefore, in order to determine the identity of the "Jiao Niang", he must "force" the Jiao Niang to make a move at this time!
Yan Nianxin raised his eyes to look at General Xue Zhuang, who was kneeling on the ground and disheveled, and lowered his voice and sneered: "Oh? Since General Xue is willing to only look forward to the sect leader of my family, then why do you want to be double-faced and three-sworded, yang and yin, and he is not afraid that the sect master will blame him and slaughter your Youzhou City! ”
Xue Zhuang was originally timid and afraid, although he was named a general by the city lord of Chen, he had never been on the battlefield, and when he heard the word "slaughter the city", his knees trembled on his knees, and his head kept kowtowing.
He kept begging for mercy loudly: "Don't dare, don't dare, Xue doesn't dare to deceive, my city lord is also forced to be helpless, thinking about the national teacher......"
Just when Xue Zhuang was about to spit out the "mantra", a voice came from behind Yan Nianxin: "General Xue, don't talk nonsense, I'm afraid you're not drunk!" Since you are drunk, go down and rest quickly, and it is better to leave this kind of thing to entertain distinguished guests! ”
As soon as Yan Nianxin heard this, his whole person froze in place. This voice is very familiar to him, he didn't expect that ten years have passed, and the "old man" in the mouth of his stepfather Yan Mingxiu is still in the world!
