Twenty-one, Grand Master Yan Xiang (Second Shift)

  "Is Master Qin Yu willing to meet with Yan Xiang?"

  The man's voice, who had just scolded his two brothers and was still excited, came out again from the carriage.

  "Yan Xiang, who is this?" Qin Yu tidied up the memories of his past and present lives, two generations' worth, but had never heard of him.

  "Foolish kid, this Yan Xiang is out of control, he's the favored minister of the Huainan Yuan Highway, now he's the Grand Tutor of the Zhong family Empire, with power that surpasses all others!" Suddenly, a voice whispered in his ear, "Shi Guang..."

  Sound.

  Oh! Tan Yu somewhat understands now.

  Yuan Shu, that is Yuan Shu! He is the legitimate eldest son of Yuanshuai, a member of the prestigious Ruan Yuan family, and his status is much higher than that of his younger brother Yuan Shao. At the beginning of this year, he seemed to have already ascended to the throne in Shouchun, holding the golden jade seal, and proclaimed himself Emperor Zhongjia. Among the ambitious men at the end of the Han Dynasty, in terms of bravery and magnanimity alone, he was far more courageous than Cao Pi, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan! As for those cowards like Liu Yu, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shao, they can't even compare to him!

  "Hey, Old Shi has already left the pass?"

  "The old man has more or less recovered. You go ahead and agree to it first, maybe he still wants to have a chat with the old man, after all they were old friends in the past, at that time you can let him come in alone."

  Oh, it's an old friend after all.

  Shi Guang's words were very clear, and Qin Yu naturally didn't pretend anymore. Stopping him was meaningless now; his eyesight had always been good, and he had long seen that Shen Qiuniang's martial arts skills were probably not inferior to those of the demon slave. If he continued to intervene, it would provoke the anger of that sister, and while he himself wouldn't have any major problems, his younger brother would be in great danger.

  "So it's Mr. Yan, what can I do for you? Please come over and let's have a talk." Qin Yu didn't want to address Yan Xiang by his official title, so he pretended not to know who he was.

  For the vast majority of vassals in the world, Yuan Shu is a rebel! The eating face is also too ugly, Emperor Xian of Han Liu Xie is still there, where do you want to put me? So, for Tan Yu with great ambitions and plans to raise troops to support Han, it's better not to get involved or get involved as little as possible.

  A thin middle-aged man got out of the carriage and walked slowly towards Qin Yu.

  Tan Yun glanced at him and saw that he was refined in appearance, ordinary in temperament, and put his mind at ease: "A weak scholar."

  It doesn't make much difference to him unless he's a martial arts master.

  Yan Xiang walked closer, took a closer look at Tan Yun, and suddenly his eyes lit up. In his heart, he secretly admired: "This child's physique, appearance, and demeanor are all majestic and dignified, noble beyond words!"

  He was the first among Yuan Shu's advisors, not only having much wisdom and strategy, but also being extremely skilled in the art of physiognomy. When Yuan Shu wanted to declare himself emperor, he strongly advised against it, seeing that Yuan Shu did not have the appearance of a ruler with heavenly mandate, and that usurping the throne would lead to quick defeat and downfall. Yuan Shu was very angry at this, but ultimately still appointed him as Grand Tutor, deeply knowing his abilities, and there being no one else among his subordinates who could match him.

  Yan Xiang had originally wanted to talk to Shi Huang, to see if he could persuade him and get some help from him. But now that he saw Qin Yu, he immediately forgot his original intention and thought: "This kid, who is he actually?"

  He stared at Qin Yu for a long time without saying a word, and Qin Yu felt a little hairy in his heart: "What's wrong with this uncle? Always staring at me, what does it mean?"

  Although he was proud of his youthful talent, he had never thought of using his charm to attract the attention of the strange-looking man. He hastily coughed and asked, "What advice do you have, Mr. Yan?"

  "Oh, haha, I think... " Yan Xiang suddenly came to his senses, his mind racing for a moment, "...I want to meet with the master of the Shi manor and have a talk, is it possible?"

  "Of course." Qin Yu smiled, "However, I can only invite one person in."

  Yan Xiang's mind was preoccupied with wanting to know more about Qin Yu, and he didn't hesitate, saying "Of course, of course." He took a step forward and headed towards the village.

  "Little brother, show Mr. Yan the way."

  "Ah..." Zhang Ren responded in a low voice and jumped out from behind the big locust tree.

  "Uh... Mr. Yan, please."

  He had already figured out that it was this person who had just spoken sarcastically to his senior brother, and had been scolded by him. Now, listening to his senior brother's instructions, he seemed a bit unwilling.

  Yan Xiang glanced at him and smiled in praise: "What a fine young man, he will make a great general someday."

  Zhang Ren was overjoyed and laughed, asking: "Sir, can you read physiognomy?"

  Yan Xiang nodded slightly: "I know a thing or two."

  "Thank you, sir, for your kind words. Come, come, sir, please hurry." Zhang Ren immediately became flustered.

  Apart from Second Master, this is the second high-ranking person who can see through his own mind and knows that he will become a great general in the future!

  Indeed: all past insults are forgotten as we meet and laugh together, washing away old grudges!

  Zhang Ren led the way, leading Yan Xiang into the village head's mansion.

  Tan Yong shook his head, is this considered a betrayal?

  The sky is about to brighten up, but the air around seems even more humid and cold.

  Look over at the horse carriage, the coachman Ma Nu is listlessly shaking the reins, not even giving himself a glance, while inside Shen Qiuniang is silent, lost in thought.

  I'd rather stay here and watch them than freeze myself.

  Tan Yu suddenly became bright and cheerful, turned around, took a few steps forward, picked up his own thin quilt, and walked slowly towards the village.

  What annoyed him was that his thin blanket had gotten wet with snow water, and it was chilly and could no longer be wrapped around his body.

  "Hey little brother, it's freezing outside at this hour, why don't you come into the carriage and warm up?" Shen Qiuniang suddenly spoke out to invite him.

  "No need, I'd rather go back and lie on my own kang at home, it's more comfortable." Qin Yu replied without turning her head.

  Shen Qiuniang smiled lightly and didn't try to persuade her further.

  Just then, a long and shrill whistle was suddenly heard from afar, giving people a sense of anxiety and urgency.

  Tan Yin thought: "Who is it? Why are you making such a fuss at this time?"

  Then, another long whistle.

  The distance of this voice has been greatly shortened.

  Tan Yong turned his head back curiously and thought: "This person's speed is not slow! And, it seems like he's looking for someone to rescue?"

  But then the luxurious carriage suddenly opened its door, and Shen Qiuniang jumped out from inside, accompanied by the black big-wheeled car driver holding a large chopping knife, rushing in the direction of the northeast where the whistling sound came from.

  It turned out they were asking those two for help!

  Qin Yu furrowed his brow, who was this person and why did he feel a sense of familiarity?

  Suddenly, with a slap on the forehead, although I had never heard of this whistling sound before, the fluctuations in the air and blood waves emitted by the whistling were deeply etched in my memory.

  That uncle who is determined to put himself in a dead end!

  Qin Yu's pair of beautiful eyes slowly opened up.

  Qin Yu's family, the Jin Wei Gongzi, was the one who had the most grievances and strangeness with him, and also suffered the greatest harm - almost directly losing his life under the giant void blade of his opponent.

  Even in a tragic case of massacre, one can still be killed by the murderer while chasing after them.

  Never suffered such a great loss.

  He turned around.

  Although it is said that a big man takes revenge, ten years are not late. However, for Quan Yu, who has this modern concept deeply ingrained in his mind, the overnight grudge that cannot be endured is best settled in this life.

  The little man takes revenge from dawn till dusk.

  I'm just a sixteen-year-old little man!

  PS: The 16-year-old little man Qin Yu shouted loudly: Don't leave it overnight, it's better to settle the bill now! Just give me the receipt!
