Chapter 222 Professional Li Yan Is Not Short of Money (1/2)

After more than a year, Li Yan's real body finally walked out of Linjiang City.

He followed a team of eagle riders out of the city.

Although it was called a team of eagle riders, there were actually only two [Howling Wind Eagles], with more than a dozen people on their backs.

Except for the two soldiers driving the [Howling Wind Eagles], the others were assigned to Linjiang City to carry out their missions.

Who knew that as soon as they arrived, they heard the news that the Jin family was destroyed and the murderer had escaped.

Unwilling to give up, they spent two days, together with the major forces in Linjiang City, to search Linjiang City from top to bottom.

In the end, they only found some clues left by the remaining members of the Jin family and Zhao Xinlin and others.

The murderer was nowhere to be found.

Two days later, the group of people who were going back to report returned to the Great Zhou military camp unwillingly on the [Howling Wind Eagles].

They thought it was a mission that would easily earn military merits, but they didn't want to make a wasted trip, which made everyone very depressed.

When Li Yan left the city gate, Linjiang City was still on high alert.

According to the notice on the city gate, this was done to catch the remnants of the Jin family and prevent them from getting out of Linjiang City.

Linjiang City now has two rulers, namely the family alliance composed of the three major families and the martial arts alliance composed of the eight martial arts halls.

Although there are many dirty things between the three major families, in the face of the huge temptation of controlling the entire Linjiang City, they finally joined forces.

And in order to fight against the family alliance composed of the three major families.

The martial arts alliance, which was originally vigorously promoted by the Jin family and still progressed slowly, was successfully established in just a few days after the Jin family was destroyed.

Everything is to maximize their own interests.

Although the two forces are fighting openly and secretly over the ownership of Linjiang City, and the friction is gradually escalating, their attitudes towards the surviving members of the Jin family are surprisingly consistent.

As long as they are found, they will be arrested immediately.

The crime is collusion with [Red Blood Cover Zhou Army] and attempting to subvert the court, which is punishable by death.

The reason why the clan was exterminated overnight was because of the internal fighting between the two sides caused by the uneven distribution of spoils with the rebellious [Red Blood Covering Zhou Army].

Whether others believe it or not, the actual controllers of Linjiang City believe it.

Therefore, a family that was still the local emperor of Linjiang City a few days ago has become a rat crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats in the blink of an eye.

Li Yan took Xiao Zhao and walked out of the city without any surprise after a strict inspection.

"Sir, which way are we going?"

On a grassland outside the city, Xiao Zhao rode on horseback, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then asked curiously.

Li Yan did not answer immediately, but took out the map and identified the direction.

"To that side."

Li Yan pointed to the east.

So the two of them galloped along the place where the sun rose.

This was Xiao Zhao's first time riding a horse, so he seemed a little cautious at the beginning, but later he gradually mastered the skills of riding a horse and rode faster and faster.

If it were just an ordinary girl, she would not learn so quickly. It would take at least a few weeks to master horsemanship.

However, under Li Yan's training, Xiao Zhao has begun to change her blood, and her strength is much greater than that of the horse under her.

She can completely rely on brute force to make the horse under her obedient.

In fact, she did so. If the horse was disobedient, she would squeeze her legs and make the horse neigh in pain.

After a few more times, even the fiercest horse would be obedient, not to mention that Li Yan chose a docile mare for Xiao Zhao.

At noon, the two passed by a teahouse on the official road, so they got off the horse and ordered two pots of tea and some cooked food.

With their strong bodies, they only traveled for half a day, so they didn't need to replenish their bodies and water.

They just sat in the teahouse because they were in the mood.

Li Yan ordered the best tea in the teahouse and the most difficult cooked food, namely honey bear paw, braised tiger meat, and braised beef.

I heard that the teahouse owner was the one who hunted them around here.

Li Yan felt the strength of the teahouse owner's blood and qi, and the strength of the flesh refining realm. If he was careful, he could indeed hunt these beasts.

The taste was okay. Li Yan ate one-third and asked Xiao Zhao to eat the rest.

After all, Li Yan now had no benefit from eating food below the level of spirit beast meat. In fact, because these foods had a lot of impurities, he still needed to spend time defecation.

Why did he still eat it? It can only be said that this was a habit he had developed for decades and could not be changed for a while.

If he really wanted to replenish his physical strength, Li Yan usually took a first-grade medium-level spirit pill called [Baiwei Pill].

When refining this pill, unlike other spirit pills, it needs to add various spirit beast meats, and the spirit medicine becomes a supplementary material.

The more spirit beast meat is added, the more the [Baiwei Pill] tastes like that spirit beast meat.

Li Yan's favorite is the [Baiwei Pill] with the flavor of [Seven-Colored Falcon]. If he can't buy this flavor, he will also buy the [Earth-Shaking Blue Ox] flavor.

Just when Li Yan and the other man were almost done eating, another group of people came into the teahouse.

Li Yan took a quick look and saw that it was a group of officers and soldiers, with a group of young and strong men in ragged clothes.

Obviously, this was a group of conscription troops.

Li Yan thought about it, called the waiter, and threw a silver ingot at him: "Give them some meat, and see how thin they are."

The teahouse was not big, so these words were naturally heard by the officers and soldiers.

One of the thin men felt that he was being talked about, and his face changed immediately when he heard this. He wanted to stand up and make trouble for Li Yan.

However, before he stood up, his captain held his shoulders.

"Don't be impulsive. This person is not easy to mess with. Don't hurt yourself, or we will be implicated."

The captain's experience was obviously richer than the other party, and he saw at a glance that Li Yan was not easy to mess with.

Although the little man was unhappy, he finally listened to the captain's advice and did not provoke Li Yan.

It must be said that this captain saved his life.

After seeing those pale-faced young and middle-aged people eating the beef prepared by the teahouse, Li Yan nodded, stood up and left with Xiao Zhao.

After Li Yan left, the meat that was originally being served to those young and middle-aged people was intercepted by the officers and soldiers.

"Sir, this is for them."

"Go, go, give it to them, isn't it just feeding the dogs?"

After that, he brought a few pots of meat and vegetables to the table of a group of officers and soldiers.

The young men squatting on the ground were so angry when they saw their food being snatched away right in front of them.

Their eyes were red and their fists were clenched tightly, as if they were going to fight to the death with these officers and soldiers in the next moment.

The captain of the officers and soldiers who noticed these situations immediately shouted loudly: "What are you doing? Do you want to rebel? Think about your family."

Just this sentence immediately extinguished the anger of the crowd.

They lowered their heads, as if they didn't want to see the officers and soldiers feasting.

At this moment, their families became their weak points that they could never defend.

"Yes, this tiger meat is just right, it's delicious. Fortunately, it was not given to those untouchables. Brother Zhang is smart."

"That's right, but I can't understand why that person spent so much money on those untouchables."

"Who knows, maybe he has too much money and burns it in a hurry."

It's true that Li Yan really ordered a lot of meat for those young men who were conscripted because he had too much silver in his hands.

As for whether these people finally got to eat, Li Yan didn't care.

What matters is that one does what one wants.

Continuing on the road, two days later, Li Yan brought Xiao Zhao to Qingtian County next to Linjiang County.

When passing through Wutian City, a county town in Qingtian County, Li Yan drove the horse and walked in with Xiao Zhao.

"Sir, we just passed by Yuelai Inn. Are you not staying in this inn this time?"

Xiao Zhao asked with some doubts.

In the past few days, when Li Yan lived in various counties, he would choose [Yuelai Inn], an inn operated by the chain in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Every time he checked in, Li Yan would choose the best upper room and ask the inn to provide the final service, with the main focus being that he was not short of money.

After several experiences, Li Yan was quite satisfied and gradually recognized this sign.

"Let's not go to the inn first. I'll take you to see someone first."

"Who? In addition to the young master, Xiao Zhao also knows someone here."

Xiao Zhao's big eyes were filled with doubts and puzzlement.

In response, Li Yan did not answer immediately, but just smiled and made a riddle: "You really don't know him, and he hasn't seen you."

"Otherwise, you might not meet me."

"As for who this person is, I can only tell you, and you will know when the time comes."

Afterwards, Li Yan stopped talking and asked for directions by comparing the address on a piece of paper in his hand.

Not long after, Li Yan found the address on the piece of paper.

It was a large house with five entrances. The plaque on the door read "Xie Family". There were two bored gatekeepers at the door.

When he saw Li Yan and the other two standing at the door, he finally perked up and asked respectfully: "Young Master, you look strange. Are you here to see our young master?"

At this time, Li Yan was dressed in blue, tall, with a handsome face, and dressed like a noble young master.

Naturally, the gatekeepers who looked at people and served dishes looked very respectful.

"No, I'm here to see your master."

"Just tell your master that an old friend will come to visit later."

After Li Yan finished speaking, he threw five taels of silver ingots to the two gatekeepers, which made the two very happy.

"Young Master, wait a moment, I'll go and inform them."

One of the two gatekeepers immediately ran inside to inform the master they mentioned, and the other served Li Yan and the other diligently.

Soon, Li Yan and the other were invited in and met the master the gatekeeper mentioned.

This is a kind-looking old man with gray hair, wearing a decent and neat home robe.

Next to him are his son and grandson, the grandson is already as old as Li Yan.

He should be the young master mentioned by the doorman.

After the doorman brought Li Yan in, he left the room tactfully, leaving a few people staring at each other in the room.

Xie An Ning stroked his white beard and looked at Li Yan for several times before he asked in confusion: "I wonder if you are the descendant of my old friend."

"Forgive me for my poor eyesight. I really can't recognize your appearance."

Hearing this, Li Yan said: "No, you are wrong. The descendant of your old friend is not me, but the one behind me."

As he said this, Li Yan moved aside, revealing Xiao Zhao who was looking surprised behind him.

"Sir, don't joke. How can I be the descendant of this old man's old friend?"

Under the gaze of everyone, Xiao Zhao's face flushed instantly. He lowered his head, pulled the corner of Li Yan's clothes, and whispered nervously.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren opposite also looked at the two in confusion, wondering what Li Yan was up to.

If it weren't for the fact that the two were either rich or noble, I'm afraid they would have been kicked out by now.

Just when Xie An Ning wanted to continue asking, Li Yan spoke first.

"Xie Anning, do you still remember the nine members of the Han family you killed?"

This sentence immediately made Xie Anning's originally calm and peaceful face show panic, disbelief, and a hideous complex expression.

When Xiao Zhao heard the surname Han, he thought of the few nonsense words Li Yan said to him, and seemed to understand something.

The shyness and panic on his face suddenly turned into sadness and hatred.

"Back then, you, Xie Anning, met a man named Han Mingjun, and you have been friends with each other for more than ten years."

"Later, Han Mingjun not only succeeded in business, earned a wealthy family, but also had a pair of lovely children, but you still did nothing."

"So, out of jealousy, you secretly pretended to be a bandit, led people to kill Han Mingjun's family, and seized the other party's wealth for many years."

"Yes and no, Xie Anning, no or should I call it, Xie Yiming."

Every word of Li Yan was like a sledgehammer, hitting Xie Anning's spirit hard.

After Li Yan finished speaking, Xie An Ning had already collapsed in the chair, his whole body wet with cold sweat.

His son and grandson kept wiping his sweat and glaring at Li Yan.

However, before they could say anything to Li Yan, they were interrupted by Xie An Ning.

Xie An Ning stood up from the chair tremblingly and looked at Li Yan fiercely: "How do you know so much?"

"It's very simple, money makes the world go round."

"Do you know how much I spent to investigate your whereabouts? Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

"Even if it weren't for you secretly investigating Han Mingjun's escaped children over the years, I might have to spend hundreds of thousands of taels to find you."

After Xie An Ning heard these words from Li Yan, his eyes became more solemn. For someone who could spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to find him, it can be imagined that his origin is definitely not simple.

"Why, why spend so much money for a maid."

This time, Xie Anning looked at Xiao Zhao with a complicated expression. He hadn't looked at her carefully before, but now a careful look directly reminded him of the memories that he had forgotten.

It is said that a daughter resembles her father. Xie Anning confirmed Xiao Zhao's identity from her appearance.

"It's really similar, too similar."

Xie Anning murmured to himself.

"There is no reason. There is too much money. I have to find a place to spend it. Otherwise, how can I promote the economic development of our Great Zhou."

Xie Anning himself didn't understand Li Yan's ridicule, but he knew that if he couldn't keep the two people today, then the Xie family he had developed with great difficulty would no longer exist.

So, a burst of cold light flew out from his sleeves and shot at Li Yan and the others like lightning.

However, before Xie Anning showed a smug smile, his face froze.

It turned out that those poisoned silver needles were less than three inches in front of Li Yan, and were firmly blocked by a layer of light blue true qi.

"First, the innate warrior."

After spitting out these four words, Xie An Ning fell on the chair like a deflated ball.

In an instant, he seemed to have aged by a dozen years. He knew that he and his family were finished.

"Xiao Zhao, I believe you already know what happened."

"The choice is yours."

While handing his second-grade spiritual knife to Xiao Zhao, Li Yan applied a touch of green ointment to Xiao Zhao's philtrum.

At the same time, he sprinkled a piece of powder on the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and the three of them immediately became weak and fell to the ground.

Just in case, Li Yan is professional in this area.

Li Yan left the room.

Xiao Zhao, with a complicated expression, held the spiritual knife and approached the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren step by step.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Zhao walked out in a trance, holding the bloody spiritual knife.

There was a sense of relief on his face after a great revenge, and also discomfort after the first murder.

"Sir, I didn't kill that man's son and grandson."

"It was the old man who begged you."

Li Yan's hearing was very good. Even if he was outside the house, he could sense the movement inside.

"Yes, but I think he is right. It was him who killed my whole family, not his descendants. There is no need to pass on the hatred for him to his descendants."

Li Yan shook his head, but said nothing.

There is still a long time. He will have plenty of time to slowly train Xiao Zhao and help him establish the correct three views.

"Also, thank you for your concern for my affairs. You have done so much for Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao doesn't know how to repay you."

Xiao Zhao's face was filled with shame and confusion.

"Silly woman, I bought you and everything you have is mine. How can you repay me?"

"Don't think about those messy things. Do your job well and practice well in the future."

Li Yan ruffled Xiao Zhao's hair and said unhappily.

"Sir, I will."

Xiao Zhao, with his hair disheveled, smiled a little silly.

With Xiao Zhao, Li Yan left the Xie family. No one stopped him on the way. When he left, the two guards greeted him with a smile.

No one knew that their master had died in the short time just now.

A quarter of an hour later, Li Yan and Xiao Zhao left Wutian City and did not stay in the city.

After Li Yan's original body left, Li Yan's clone came to the Xie family.

Li Yan is also professional in exterminating families.
