Han Yan, the guest of the Lu Mansion, was holding a spear in the dim light of the day. The spear was full of energy, and the trajectory of the spear tip left a series of bright white lights. This was also the result of practicing until he was exhausted all day long. Although it was small, he had He was very satisfied. If Lu Hongyan had not led him and his party to the Prime Minister's office, he would have stopped moving forward in the future if his character did not change.
It was the turn of autumn and winter. Although it was not as bitter and cold as in the north, the cold wind was still there. Before he could sweat like rain, it was blown away by the cold wind.
The door of the empty courtyard was opened, and a young man walked in with a woman in one hand, laughing and joking. However, the next moment he was suddenly hit by a gunshot, and it suddenly stopped an inch in front of his nose. He still staggered back to the ground, terrified. , the rather handsome woman was also frightened by this sudden shot and her face turned pale.
The young man's ability to come here without being pierced by Han Yan's gun was entirely for the sake of his father, Lu Hongyan, but it still couldn't offset Han Yan's contempt for him. Han Yan put away his gun and turned to look at him with his peripheral vision. He asked in a cold voice: "What are you doing here?"
The young man was naturally Lu Cheng, the son of Lu Shangshu, and the girl was just bought from a brothel, and would be replaced every once in a while, just like the girls Mangniu Mountain brought before. However, in order to please the girl for a while, he would not talk to him about it. With his unbearable past, Lu Cheng put down the hand holding the woman, cupped his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Han, this is the newcomer I accepted. When I talked to her, I mentioned that Mr. Han, your shooting skills are peerless, and your dancing is even more amazing. It was so dazzling and extraordinary that she said she didn’t believe it and insisted on taking a look. I really couldn’t stand her request, so I wanted to ask Mr. Han to let me open my eyes.”
Han Yan gave Lu Hongyan face, but he looked down on him and scolded him softly: "My Zhou Mang is only used to kill people. If you want to see her, she will die, get out!"
Han Yan paid no attention to the two people beside him, and slowly danced his spear with each move. Although the movements were standard, they were not as dazzling as before. This made the Fengyue woman, who was the legitimate son of the Lu family, very contemptuous: "Master Lu, this Even if you say the gun is like a white dragon and the lights are bright, the slave family doesn't look that good!"
Lu Cheng felt that he had lost face, but he also knew that this woman was deliberately provoking him, so he was still angry and shouted angrily: "Han Yan, don't be so shameless. You are just a retainer of my Lu family. If you don't follow the rules, Do it, believe it or not, I will ask you to get out immediately."
Han Yan was indifferent, which made Lu Cheng even more angry, but he also knew the other party's abilities and did not dare to step forward to take action, so he had to continue to threaten.
The woman was not afraid of big troubles, and continued to add fuel to the fire, joking: "Mr. Lu, I think what you said is of no use. You can't even calm down a retainer. Or is this Mr. Han not as good as you in the first place?" He is so capable as he said, and he deceived the young master with all his tricks."
Although Han Yan didn't care about the fate of these two people, he couldn't bear it when a great master was ridiculed by a prostitute.
Han Yan turned sideways to the woman, holding the gun with one hand. He stepped forward and the tip of the gun shone white like daylight. He landed six feet away from her and penetrated her neck directly. He originally wanted to see him juggling a knife and a gun, but the two of them didn't react yet. Coming over, the woman fell to the ground, but Lu Cheng was still in a daze.
When Han Yan returned the gun and started practicing on his own, Lu Cheng finally broke out again: "Han Yan, just wait for me. I will go back and tell my father that you can just wait and get out."
But as soon as Lu Cheng turned around, he was kicked to the ground. The person who came was none other than Lu Cheng's father, Lu Hongyan. Just when Lu Cheng wanted to complain to his biological father, he was slapped in the face by Lu Hongyan, who said angrily: " Don't cause trouble for me all day long if you are useless."
Lu Cheng sat on the ground and said aggrievedly: "Dad, it's Han Yan..."
Before Lu Cheng could finish speaking, Lu Hongyan was too lazy to bend down and kicked his own son over who had finally sat up, shouting loudly: "Get out!"
Lu Cheng didn't dare to say any more words. He stood up carefully and left in a hurry. He felt depressed in his heart. He really couldn't figure out why in the eyes of his own father, he was inferior to this outsider. However, he had no ability to resist, so he had to eat this. A dumb loss from my biological father.
When Han Yan saw Lu Hongyan, he was stunned and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Lu Hongyan frowned, found a place to sit down, and said, "Lu Xun is dead."
As a guest of the Lu family, although Han Yan looked down upon others, he still remembered this guest who had been very attentive in recent times: "How did you die?"
Lu Hongyan explained: "A few days ago, he said that he was going to kill an innkeeper. He said that he had stopped at an inn when he was going to Tianyuzhou to do work. He might have leaked the news, and then he went on his own, but he didn't want to kill him right after he stopped at an inn. Wanren met two people who came to kill him, and finally chased him to the woods dozens of miles away and found his body. According to the description of the people at the inn at the time, it was two young people who did it, and they only saw him from beginning to end. One of them took action, and after being described by people at the inn at the time, no one could be found. It also rained that night, so there were no clues at all."
Han Yan sat cross-legged on the ground, with the spear lying across his knees, and said without thinking: "Young man? Then Lu Xun is also a second-grade one after all. There are only a handful of young people with this strength, and the one with the largest number is Chengdao Academy, but You have no evidence and can't correct me, and His Majesty is interested in the academy, so you can't do anything."
Lu Hongyan sighed: "When a guest guest dies, he dies. It is enough for the Lu family to have you. I am mainly thinking that Lu Xun has enmity with the people in the academy, or has the academy discovered something? If it is the latter, it will be troublesome. Yes, His Majesty may also know."
Han Yan didn't know how to answer the question. He didn't know much about this kind of official business, so he had to use his gun to speak for himself: "Do you want me to do it? Just tell me who you want to kill. You prepare this yard for me, and you take my Prime Minister's office with you. I owe you two favors.”
Lu Hongyan smiled: "I'll just tell you that if Your Majesty wanted to know, he would have taken action already. And after so many days, there is no certainty how many people know about it. You, Han Yan, should practice your spear first. I'll leave it here." This favor with you will become even greater in the future."
Lu Hongyan had endless things to say about Han Yan, but Han Yan only knew how to shoot and was not interested in anything else. When Lu Shangshu got tired of talking, he got up and left. Han Yan continued to practice shooting with persistence.
…
The next day,
Jinyu City, which was originally bustling with traffic but still relatively quiet, began to be restless. Many scholars were gearing up, waiting to express their feelings. If they can find their beloved, one of the four major joys in life will be fulfilled, and they will even become famous.
Just waiting for many scholars to prepare poems and songs, only to be turned away due to lack of money.
The Poetry Party on the Boat was jointly organized by all the great scholars and celebrities. They spent a lot of money to buy a painting boat and parked it in the middle of Jinming Lake in Jinyu City. They waited for each family to send their boats to approach, and those who were interested could get on the boat and recite poems. , but most people went there for their beloved, so most of the things they prepared were love poems. Unfortunately, the price of boats soared that day. Even renting a simple boat costs dozens of taels of silver, not to mention those cruise boats, each of which is worth thousands of gold. .
Many Qingliu scholars wanted to cry but had no tears when they saw this.
