The prince is very fierce

The mountains are majestic, the water is as clear as a mirror, and the buildings are decorated with carved beams and painted buildings. The word "Longtan" is engraved on the big archway at the entrance of the wide long street.

The market built by the lake is in the peak season in spring, autumn and midsummer. There are no tourists in the cold winter. Eighty percent of the shops are locked. In the few remaining shops, only the shop assistants are walking inside, and the street is empty.

The bluestone long street is covered with a thin layer of snow. In the three-story Tingquan Tower in the middle of the street, the atmosphere is quiet and solemn.

More than 40 swordsmen in martial arts uniforms are sitting in the wing room on the second floor of Tingquan Tower, waiting for the owner's order.

In the hall on the first floor, Yan Hanli, dressed in gorgeous clothes, sits next to the tea table. Behind the pearl curtain, a singing girl plays the ancient song "Shenrenchang". It is rumored that "Shenrenchang" is the song played by Emperor Yao when he offered sacrifices to the heaven, implying "universal celebration".

Sitting in a teahouse and listening to this song on a cold winter day, one can get a glimpse of Yan Hanli's state of mind at this moment.

On the tea table, a black jade backflow incense burner is lit, and snow-white smoke flows back from the top of the peak, layer by layer until it reaches the lake at the bottom of the mountain. Next to the incense burner is a long sword with a scabbard inlaid with gold threads. The shape of the long sword is very common, which is the Yanling sword in the hands of the wolf guard.

The Yanling sword is a standard weapon of the court, also known as the official sword, which is a reward. Ordinary constables are not qualified to hold it, and people in the rivers and lakes dare not show off with official swords. The only one in the whole rivers and lakes who can use the Yanling sword is Yanqi Villa, because this official sword was figured out by the ancestors of Yanqi Villa.

The Yanling sword is different from the ring-headed broadsword. It has a moderate weight, a straight blade, a curved tip, and a reverse blade. It is simple and easy to use. The official sword selected by the court has been passed down from the previous dynasty to the present. This is the most impressive thing about Yanqi Villa. They are also experts in using this knife. Zhang Xiang from the Detective Department once came to ask for advice when he was traveling in Youzhou.

This kind of deeds cannot be compared with the "Head Coach of Spear Soldiers in the World" of Liuhemen. In terms of martial arts attainments, Yanqi Villa cannot compare with the "Twenty-Eight Chain Knives" of the Situ family, but in the martial arts world, it is already a major event that is famous all over the world.

Since the Iron Eagle Hunting Deer, Yanqi Villa has been very sensible and joined the Cui family, one of the five major families, and honestly helped the Cui family. They rarely move around in the martial arts world. It is the first time in recent years that they have come out in full force.

For this reason, the second in command of Yanqi Villa, who is also Yan Hanli's second uncle, sat across from the tea table, still hesitating:

"Hanli, things are not right in Youzhou recently. According to the Cui family, Sword Saint Zhu Liu came to Youzhou, and Situ Yuejin was taken by the Cui family to prevent any accidents. The Tang family is also moving around, and I don't know who they invited from the capital to be the door god. It's easy to make trouble if we go out to do things at this time..."

Yan Hanli closed his eyes and concentrated, with a calm expression:

"We do some small things at the doorstep, no one will notice."

"That Ye Jiuniang, she spread the family scandal of my Cui family everywhere..."

"Second uncle!"

"Oh... Alas, she was the first to be ignorant of good and evil. I am the young master of Yanqi Villa, and I treat her with courtesy to give her face... But, Ye Jiuniang hasn't appeared in many years. I suspect that her coming to Youzhou again is related to the current changes. It's inappropriate to act rashly without checking it out..."

"Liu Wu's apprentice in Fanyang County is a good friend of mine. According to him, Zhongli Jiujiu just came to find someone, who seems to be a young rich man. Humph... Even Qingxu Zhenren would look down on her character, and she would not have anything to do with the Zhu and Tang families."

"Alas..."

The second uncle couldn't persuade her anymore after seeing this. After all, this knot had been buried in Yan Hanli for ten years. Even if the woman disdained him, he still carried the stigma of "jianghu scum". Although no one scolded him publicly, his peers and elders in Youzhou jianghu looked at Yan Hanli with obvious disdain.

Jianghu people travel the world for a "name", either chivalrous or notorious.

Yanqi Villa has a family and a business, but it doesn't have a big backer like the Tang family, so it can only do a good job on the surface and stand on the side of the righteous. The existence of this stain has made Yan Hanli too embarrassed to call himself a "knight" so far, and he must find a way to whitewash it.

The uncle and nephew waited in the lobby for an hour or so, until the sun was high in the sky, and the secret sentry on the street ran back and said respectfully;

"Master, people are coming."

Yan Hanli's whole body trembled slightly, and he opened his eyes, showing a bit of excitement and ruthlessness in his eyes, but at the signal of his second uncle's eyes, he still didn't get up and go out, but just sat by the tea table with a cold face and waited.

Soon, the sound of "tapping" footsteps came from outside the Tingquan Tower.

Zhongli Jiujiu, wearing a water blue long skirt, walked out of the gate. Under the warm winter sun, the skin looks white and crystal, like fresh and juicy water tofu. With a crescent smile in his fox-like eyes, he looked around the street, his red lips radiating a little bit of luster, and he looked like a lotus emerging from the water, bright and beautiful, adding a bit of spring color to the solemn and quiet long street in winter.

Yan Hanli's eyes suddenly showed bloodshot, and he clenched his fists tightly, staring at the face he had longed for, and wanted to order him to be captured.

However, with a sure victory, he was too eager to do so and fell into the trap. What he wanted was to get back all the humiliation he had suffered in the past, to see this once arrogant Miaojiang poisonous woman begging for mercy, and then

obediently submit to him, explain to the outside world that it was all "false accusations" before, and wash away the stains on him!

Outside the gate, Zhongli Jiujiu took a look at the signboard and entered Tingquan Tower without any defense. Seeing Yan Hanli and his nephew sitting in the hall, his face suddenly changed, and he covered his mouth in an exaggerated way, saying in horror:

"Yan Hanli! You... why are you here?"

Yes, that's it!

Yan Hanli's arms trembled slightly due to excitement. He took a sip of the teacup and said in a suppressed voice:

"I didn't expect you to still remember me. It's been a long time, Miss Jiujiu."

Zhongli Jiujiu looked around and saw that there were only uncle and nephew in the hall. She seemed to be relieved, and showed a little arrogance like a little girl. She said "huh~" lightly:

"What do you mean it's been a long time? I never thought I would see you again. What? You come to block me?"

"How dare you~"

The second uncle of the Yan family slammed the table with a dignified look.

Yan Hanli raised his hand to stop his uncle from scolding him, stood up, and looked coldly at Zhongli Jiujiu who was sitting in the lobby and pouring tea:

"You are still so brave, do you think I fooled you once and I can fool you again?"

Zhongli Jiujiu blinked, showing some nervousness, and looked around: "You also ambushed people?"

Papa

Yan Hanli clapped his hands, and in an instant, more than 40 swordsmen rushed out of the corridor on the second floor, holding their swords and looking at them covetously.

Zhongli Jiujiu stood up in fear, took a few steps back and wanted to run, but the door was also blocked by several swordsmen. She curled her hands on her chest and said fearfully:

"You...what do you want to do?"

"You have come to this day!?"

Yan Hanli's face turned red, and she tried her best to suppress the excitement in her heart, but she still couldn't help it, revealing a slightly ferocious and unruly smile:

"I'll give you a chance, first courtesy and then force, if you obey me honestly and explain to the outside world that it was just a fabrication and false accusation, I can still spare your life and give you a concubine status in the villa, otherwise..."

Zhongli Jiujiu heard this and shook her head: "I'm already married, don't be delusional."

"..."

Yan Hanli's expression froze, and then a bit of sinisterness appeared in his eyes, staring at Zhongli Jiujiu in silence for a while:

"Don't you look down on men? You actually get married?"

Zhongli Jiujiu said weakly: "How can I look down on men, I just look down on you."

Ka-

When Yan Hanli heard this, the jade ring on his finger broke, and his face was no longer smiling.

The surrounding swordsmen and the second uncle of the Yan family also glared at him. It was really annoying to be insulted in such an occasion.

However, in the face of this naked sarcasm, Yan Hanli calmed down and looked at Zhongli Jiujiu coldly:

"Really? Who did you marry? Could it be that someone better than me, the owner of Yanqi Villa, could attract your heart?"

It must be said that although Yan Hanli has an extreme and despicable personality, he was born in a big family after all, with good genes and handsome appearance. He is considered a handsome man in the world. He asked this question because he didn't believe that he could lose to an ordinary Jianghu wanderer, and wanted to see who picked his flower.

Zhongli Jiujiu glanced around and said seriously: "My husband is very good at martial arts, better than the martial arts champion, and handsome. He is the most handsome man in the world and has a high status. Not to mention Yanqi Villa, even the Tang family is not worthy of polishing his shoes..."

"Hahaha..."

Hearing the "nonsense", even the surrounding swordsmen laughed out loud.

How can this description be a human? It's impossible that she is stronger than Wu Kui, so could she marry Eunuch Jia? Eunuch Jia has a high status, but how can he be more handsome than all the men in the world...

Yan Hanli relaxed a little after hearing this, and 'knew' that Zhongli Jiujiu said these words on purpose to anger him, and said calmly:

"Oh? Really?"

Zhongli Jiujiu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, I married him a few years ago, and gave birth to three children for him. He is very good to me..."

Yan Hanli didn't believe this nonsense at all, and didn't want to chat with him, so he said coldly:

"I'll give you one last chance, you can choose by yourself, if you make a move, you may not see the sun for the rest of your life!"

Zhongli Jiujiu shook her head: "I'm serious, my husband is right behind, you have to ask him about this."

Yan Hanli frowned slightly, raised her eyes and looked outside the gate behind Zhongli Jiujiu. There was only a big red horse on the empty street, nothing else.

"Why, your husband is a horse?"

Zhongli Jiujiu sighed and raised her chin: "It's behind you, not behind me."

Everyone in the hall turned their heads when they heard this.

Yan Hanli knew that Zhongli Jiujiu was cunning and didn't believe in this little trick that distracted people, but before he could say anything, his second uncle next to him pulled his sleeve:

"Hanli, behind..."

Yan Hanli frowned and turned his head to look, but saw that a young man in white sat next to the tea table he had just made, holding his sword and looking at him.

The young man in white had sword-like eyebrows and clear eyes. Just a side profile could tell that he was stunningly beautiful...
