Chapter 37: The Stone Strikes Into the Water and Causes Waves
Yan Song was angry with this unsuccessful son, and he coughed non-stop, and the old housekeeper next to him hurriedly handed over the tea while soothing his back, so that Yan Song could dissipate his anger and moisten his throat. Yan Zhiwen and Yan Zhihao also wanted to come forward to serve, but Yan Song stretched out his hand to stop them.
After relieving this breath, Yan Song calmed down and then said to Yan Zhihao: This time, the child from the Xiang family should be fine, so the Xiang family did not pursue it. Xuancheng also blocked the news, not many people know the inside story of this matter, you give me honest endure, don't ruin yourself because of a big fart, and even ruin the hundred-year overall situation that your father has worked so hard for you!
Yan Zhiwen and Yan Zhihao hurriedly knelt down and agreed, and then Yan Song waved his hand and said: You two go down, do things well, do it carefully, and making me angry is the greatest filial piety.
The two brothers said goodbye to the study, Yan Song sighed with emotion after watching the second son leave, and said to the old housekeeper who was helping him pick up the book: If the third child is here, there is no need to worry so much, alas...
Yan Song said that the third Yan Zhiyu was born to his second wife, the third child was negligent in discipline since he was a child, and later ran away from home because of the estrangement from his family, and broke off the father-son relationship with Yan Song. The old butler finished cleaning up the scattered books on the table, stood beside him and offered a cup of new tea, and said: "Master, the third prince has been doing well recently, he has taken the top spot of the bounty hunter in a place, and he runs an arena there, so he doesn't have to go to the risk to hunt demons and kill demons himself. It's just that the people who were sent to get close to him were driven back by him again, and this is the tenth group of people.
Yan Song drank all the tea, handed the teacup to the old housekeeper, and said with a helpless sigh: Forget it, you don't need to send someone to go, just find an informant in the local area to send some news back regularly. Yu'er's deep resentment against me cannot be resolved in a day.
The old housekeeper nodded, and then remembered something, and asked Yan Song for instructions: Master, Xiang Jia is like this this time, has the previous planned engagement between Yao'er and Xiang Junhao been stopped?
The old housekeeper said that Yao'er is the only daughter of Yan Song's second son Yan Zhilin - Yan Yuyao, Yan Song is also fateful. The second son Yan Zhilin was born to Yan Song's favorite wife, who was literate at the age of four, could recite poetry at the age of seven, and thought like an adult at the age of twelve, and was appointed by Emperor Tiansheng at the age of seventeen to accompany the prince, and was appointed as a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy at the age of twenty. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and at the age of twenty-two, he got a strange disease and died.
Yan Song closed his eyes and pondered for a while, and said: Let's put it aside first, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make the trip after this matter, and we will see if there is room for turning around in the future.
Yan Song originally wanted to marry Yunfeng Pavilion, and through this relationship, he would pull this super sect that was closely related to the current royal family into his chess game. And the candidate is his favorite granddaughter Yan Yuyao, and the Yunfeng Pavilion must be Xiang Junhao. Although everyone said that this kid couldn't practice and was a wastewood, with his years of experience in the ups and downs of the sea, his old fox-like sense of smell, and information from other sources, he insisted that Xiang Junhao must be a person with golden scales in the pool, and he would turn into a dragon when he encountered a storm. However, this time it is completely settled, and this matter must be done at present.
Tiansheng Empire, Youzhou, Xuancheng
Mu Lingyun was bored playing with a willow leaf in the pavilion in the back garden, and the four maids with him stood quietly around the pavilion. In early spring, the garden is full of flowers of all colors, and the flowers are full of flowers and green grass. There is a circle of apricot trees planted around the pavilion, and when the breeze blows, the aroma of apricot blossoms wafts in front of you, which is refreshing!
Wu Li hurriedly walked from outside, stopped outside the pavilion to salute, and said: Young master, the Yan Mansion has already dealt with the scene, and made it into a horse bandit internal strife, and we will also take care of it over there, and Wu Lingwei will not pursue it anymore.
Mu Lingyun nodded lazily and lazily to understand, still playing with the somewhat damaged willow leaf armor. Uri continued: Except for the two people who died at the scene, the rest of the people who knew about the matter have been dealt with, and the Pickers Gang will not be involved in this matter anymore. We have a receipt for the dart transaction with Yanfu, which will show that the dart is transporting other items, even if we check it, we are also deceived and uninformed.
Mu Lingyun still played with Zha Jia and looked thoughtful, and did not reply or react. Uri has finished everything that should be said here, and then he saluted and prepared to leave, he is not as leisurely as this eldest lady, how many things are up and down in the shogunate, and how many businesses in the Mu family outside have to be asked and Zhang Luo.
At this time, Mu Lingyun opened his mouth and asked: You said that Xiang Junhao's senior uncle almost didn't make a move, and he wiped out an ambush team of nearly 100 people with Xiang Junhao and his barbaric senior sister who didn't understand etiquette?
Uri looked back when he heard the sound and saw that Mu Lingyun was still staring at the piece of armor, and he didn't know who he was talking to just now. But Uri understood and walked back and said, "Yes, I have been to see the scene." According to the investigation of the scene and the description of the survivors of the Yan family, Mo Qingzhi was Xiang Junhao's uncle who basically did not make a move, but only began to do protection and drove away several killers who attacked at close range during the period. The rest of the nearly 100 people were wiped out by Xiang Junhao and his senior sister, Yan Zhihao's cronies, Liu Quan of the Yuanying Realm, was personally stabbed by Xiang Junhao. According to the description of the survivors, they should have been ambushed by various group attack skills set up by Xiang Junhao in advance, and after the output of the two group attack skills, most of them were unable to fight effectively, and everyone was finally dragged down by Xiang Junhao's senior sister alone. And Liu Quan was still evenly matched with Xiang Junhao at first, but then he was beaten by Xiang Junhao's overwhelming hand-to-hand dogfight, and then was stabbed through the heart by a sharp knife and died.
Mu Lingyun finally put down the piece of armor, turned around and asked Wu Li, and said: That stinky boy was just a foundation building beginner a year ago, and a year later, he was actually able to win the Yuanying first product, so what is his current situation?
Uri thought for a moment and said: According to the information and experience I have obtained, he will not surpass the middle grade of Yuan Ying. But because he had the Linglong Qi in his body, he was not only difficult to practice before, but he could only output energy lower than his own realm. However, it seems that there has been a great improvement now, and the energy of the same realm can be output, but the output time is limited, otherwise it will be eaten by the Spirit Dragon's Qi. Therefore, his current way of fighting is mostly to use the conventional output of energy below his own realm and the explosive output of his own realm energy, supplemented by the Heavenly Master's Mansion's grappling skills.
At this time, Mu Lingyun's guard commander, Boerte, who was carrying the nine-ring wolf's head knife, also came in from the outer courtyard, walked into the pavilion and saluted Mu Lingyun and Wu Li respectively, and then said: My subordinates have seen the young master, the head of Wu, the young master, there is news about what you are looking for, and the attributes are ready to leave at any time.
Mu Lingyun's eyes lit up after hearing this, she stood up and stretched, took a big breath of the fragrance of apricot blossoms in the wind, and said: Mother likes the fragrance of apricot blossoms the most, okay, let's go.
Immediately, Mu Lingyun was about to go with Boerte, and Uri said on the side: The young master must remember to be careful in everything during this trip, not to be publicized, and return immediately when he gets something.
Then he solemnly instructed Boerte: The safety of the young master is tied to you, and you must stop the young master's willful behavior at the critical moment!
Boer saluted and obeyed, but Mu Lingyun said to Uri coquettishly: "I know, teacher! Yun'er will definitely act according to your instructions, don't worry."
Then like a purple butterfly, she happily floated out of the garden, passing the small pond in the garden, she threw the willow leaf Zha Jia in her hand casually, watched Zha Jia sink to the bottom of the pond and didn't know what she was thinking, let out a pleasant smile like a silver bell, and then took Boert away without looking back.
Tiansheng Empire, Yanzhou, Chencheng
More than a month has passed since Xiang Junhao and his nephew drove the ox cart to play on the road, and after they left Xuancheng, they went all the way south, aiming at Shengjing, the imperial capital of Yuzhou. At this moment, they had already left Youzhou and crossed Jizhou and stepped into the border of Yanzhou, and in front of them was Chencheng, the state capital of Yanzhou. In the first few days after leaving Xuancheng, Xiang Junhao was in a very low mood, and he was listless and not in high spirits. Later, in Jizhou, Mo Qingzhi deliberately took him to the arenas in many towns, where he could accumulate experience in fighting against others, and at the same time let him release the depression caused by the first killing in his heart. After this release, Xiang Junhao gradually recovered his mentality and walked out of that kind of depression, which made Mo Qingzhi breathe a sigh of relief
The arena is a unique martial culture in the Tiansheng Empire, but all the larger towns will have an arena, of course, they also have it in Xuancheng, but there are mainly demon beasts fighting there, and it is still opened by the Mu family. The mainland arena is mostly based on people-to-person fighting skills, because the competition can be won or lost through betting, so a competitive gambling industry chain that gathers a large amount of money has been formed, and many powerful families will set up their own fighting skills training ground to train and raise specialized fighters. There are also many down-and-out martial artists and solo cultivators who will fight here to earn some living expenses, and of course, there will be many cultivators who will choose to fight in the arena for the sake of fairness and for a witness, from winning or losing to fighting with their lives. In fact, the most important thing is that Tiansheng Law stipulates that no fights are allowed at will, but for masters, this is like a fictitious existence, this is because as long as there is no murderous behavior, Wu Lingwei has no evidence and no way to arrest these cultivation masters. Moreover, these people resign themselves to fate, and the government sometimes closes its eyes and does not bother to pursue it.
Chencheng is the capital of Yanzhou, located in the fertile plain extending in all directions, where merchants gather from all walks of life, so the local economy here is very developed, and the large arena is an indispensable thing. Mo Qingzhi planned to let Xiang Junhao go here to feel and experience the difference between the small arena of an ordinary town and the big arena of an important city. The previous dozen or so games were for him to feel and adapt to the atmosphere of the arena, which was regarded as a warm-up, and what Xiang Junhao was about to experience would be a real battle with a fighter of the same realm or even a high realm.
