Gou became a god or devil after splitting his body
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 perform their tasks.
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 task 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 unequal distribution of spoils with the rebellious [Red Blood Overthrowing 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.
"Don't go to the inn first, I'll take you to see someone first."
"See someone, who, here besides the young master, Xiao Zhao also has someone he knows."
Xiao Zhao's big eyes were filled with doubts and confusion.
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 either."
"Otherwise, you might not have met 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 paper.
It was a large house with five entrances, with the words "Xie Family" written on the door plaque, and two bored gatekeepers at the door.
Seeing Li Yan and the other man standing at the door, he finally perked up and asked respectfully: "This young master, you look quite unfamiliar, are you here to see our young master?"
At this time, Li Yan was dressed in blue, tall and handsome, with a jade-like face, and dressed like a noble young master.
Naturally, the gatekeeper who looked at people and served dishes looked very respectful.
"No, I'm looking for 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 doormen, which made them very happy.
"Young master, wait a moment, I'll go and inform them."
One of the two doormen immediately ran inside to inform the so-called master, and the other served Li Yan and the others attentively.
Soon, Li Yan and the others were invited in and met the so-called master.
This was a kind-looking old man with gray hair, wearing a decent and neat home robe.
Next to him were his son and grandson, and the grandson was as old as Li Yan.
It should be the young master mentioned by the doorman.
After the doorman brought Li Yan in, he left the room tactfully, leaving several people staring at each other in the room.
Xie Anning 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 face."
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 took a step to the side, 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 people opposite, grandfather and grandson, also looked at the two of them in confusion, wondering what kind of medicine Li Yan was selling in the gourd.
If it weren't for the fact that they were both rich and noble, I'm afraid someone would have kicked them out at this time.
Just when Xie Anning wanted to continue asking, Li Yan spoke first.
"Xie Anning, do you still remember the nine members of the Han family who were killed by you back then?"
With one sentence, Xie Anning's originally calm and peaceful face suddenly revealed a complicated expression of panic, disbelief, and ferociousness.
When Xiao Zhao heard the surname Han, he thought of the 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 they had known each other for more than ten years."
"Later, Han Mingjun not only became successful in business, but also earned a substantial family fortune and a pair of lovely children, but you still accomplished nothing."
"So, out of jealousy, you secretly pretended to be a robber and led others to kill Han Mingjun's family and seize his wealth for many years."
"Yes and no, Xie Anning, no, or should I call him, Xie Yiming."
Every word Li Yan said was like a sledgehammer, hitting Xie Anning's spirit hard.
After Li Yan finished speaking, Xie Anning was already slumped in the chair, his whole body wet with cold sweat.
His son and grandson kept wiping his sweat while glaring at Li Yan.
However, before they could say anything to Li Yan, they were interrupted by Xie Anning.
Xie Anning stood up from the chair tremblingly and looked at Li Yan ferociously: "How do you know so much?"
"It's simple, money can make all the difference."
"Do you know how much I spent to investigate your whereabouts? Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."
"Even if it weren't for the fact that you have been secretly investigating Han Mingjun's escaped children all these years, I might have to spend hundreds of thousands of taels to find you."
After hearing these words from Li Yan, Xie Anning's eyes became more solemn. For a person who could spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver just to find him, you can imagine that his origin is definitely not simple.
"Why, why do you spend so much money on a maid?"
This time Xie Anning looked at Xiao Zhao with a complicated expression. He had not looked carefully before, but now he looked carefully and it directly reminded him of the memories that he had forgotten.
Everyone said that their daughter was Xiao's father. Xie Anning confirmed Xiao Zhao's identity at a glance from his appearance.
"It's really similar, so similar."
Xie Anning murmured to himself.
"There is no reason. There is too much money. We have to find a place to spend it. Otherwise, how can we promote the economic development of our great Zhou Dynasty."
Xie Anning himself couldn't understand Li Yan's teasing, but he knew that if he couldn't keep the two of them today, then the Xie family that he had finally developed would cease to exist.
Then, a flash of cold light flew out from his cuffs and shot toward Li Yan and Li Yan like lightning.
However, Xie Anning's face froze before the proud smile appeared.
It turned out that those poison-quenched silver needle hidden weapons were less than three inches in front of Li Yan, and were firmly blocked by a layer of light blue Qi.
"First, the innate warrior."
After spitting out these four words, Xie Anning fell on the chair like a deflated rubber ball.
For a moment, he seemed to have aged more than ten years. He knew that he and his family were finished.
"Xiao Zhao, I believe you already know what happened."
“The choice is yours as to how you do it.”
Li Yan handed his second-grade spiritual knife to Xiao Zhao while applying a green ointment to Xiao Zhao's philtrum.
At the same time, a piece of powder was thrown at the three people. Suddenly, the three of them became weak and fell to the ground.
Just in case, Li Yan is professional in this area.
Li Yan left the room.
Xiao Zhao, on the other hand, held the spiritual knife with a complex expression and approached the three of them step by step.
After a cup of tea, Xiao Zhao walked out in a daze holding the bloody spiritual knife.
There was relief on his face that a great revenge had been avenged, but also the discomfort after killing someone for the first time.
"Sir, I didn't kill that man's son or grandson."
"It's the old guy begging you."
Li Yan's hearing is very good. Even if he is outside the house, he can still sense the movement inside.
"Yes, but I think he is right. He was the one who killed my whole family, not his descendants. There is no need to extend the hatred towards him to his descendants."
In response, Li Yan shook his head, but didn't say anything.
It's still a long time, and he will have plenty of time to slowly train and help Xiao Zhao establish a correct outlook on life.
"Also, thank you very much for taking care of me. Young Master has done so much for Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao doesn't even know how to repay Young Master."
Xiao Zhao had a look of shame and confusion on his face.
"Silly woman, I bought you and everything you have is mine, how can you repay me?"
"Don't think about those messy things. Work hard and practice hard in the future."
Li Yan ruffled Xiao Zhao's bun and said angrily.
"Sir, I will."
Xiao Zhao, who has a disheveled hair, looks a little silly when he smiles.
Taking Xiao Zhao with him, Li Yan left Xie's house. No one stopped him on the way, and the two doormen greeted him with smiles when he went out.
No one knew that in the short period of time just now, their master had died.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Yan and Xiao Zhao left Wutian City and did not stay in this city.
After Li Yan's original body left, his clone came to the Xie family.
Li Yan was also a professional at exterminating families.
