Martial arts long journey

Chapter 51 Verbal confrontation

In the early morning of the next day, after Zhou Yan absorbed the first ray of purple clouds from the east, he left the extremely dilapidated mountain temple together with Xu Xiong, who had recovered from his injuries, and continued on the journey across the Ailao Mountains. .

Riding their horses along the way, Zhou Yan and Xu Xiong finally crossed the Ailao Mountains and returned to the main city of Yanzhou Prefecture.

As one of the three major martial arts families in Yanzhou Mansion, the Zhou family is one of the most powerful families in Yanzhou Mansion.

Therefore, the Zhou family's mansion is naturally magnificent and vast, and the entire northwestern part of the city belongs to the Zhou family's sphere of influence.

"Hurry up, hurry up, it's still a day late, I'm afraid it will be hard this time!"

Slowly the horse stopped in front of the Zhou family's gate, looking at the plaque above the Zhou family's gate, Zhou Yan couldn't help but secretly smiled wryly in his heart.

Even though Zhou Yan had already hurried on his way, because of the bandits who blocked the road and looted all over the Ailao Mountains, Zhou Yan was still one day late than the deadline stipulated in the Feige letter.

Although Zhou Yan didn't know why his cheap father, Zhou Chuanxiong, stipulated that he should rush back to Zhou's house within five days.

But Zhou Yan knew that Zhou Chuanxiong never tolerated members of the Zhou family who dared to disobey his wishes.

Since Zhou Yan delayed the time limit stipulated by Zhou Chuanxiong, based on Zhou Yan's knowledge of Zhou Chuanxiong in his memory, Zhou Yan might have to endure some scolding.

Even so, Zhou Yan had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk into the Zhou family mansion.

With Zhou Yan's current level of martial arts, he doesn't have the strength to disobey his cheap father Zhou Chuanxiong at all.

"Go down and rest first!"

But seeing Zhou Yan slowly turn over from the horse's back and throw the rein into Xu Xiong's hand, he said aloud.

Afterwards, Zhou Yan directly stepped over the gate of the Zhou family and walked into the depths of the Zhou family mansion.

Now that Zhou Yan has returned to the Zhou family's mansion, the first thing he should do is to visit his cheap father first.

After all, Zhou Yan delayed the deadline set by Zhou Chuanxiong, if he didn't explain it quickly, I'm afraid those cheap brothers who regarded him as a thorn in their side would make a lot of troubles!

Therefore, after Zhou Yan learned from his servants that Zhou Chuanxiong was in the meeting hall of the Zhou family, he rushed directly to the meeting hall.

However, when Zhou Yan had just walked near the meeting hall, there was a noble lady surrounded by jewels and emerald greens opposite him, surrounded by a group of servant girls, she also walked towards the meeting hall.

That noble lady is none other than the second wife of the Zhou family, the mother of Zhou Xing, the eldest son of the Zhou family.

Since Zhou Yan left the Zhou family mansion three months ago, and returned to the Zhou family mansion today, he has experienced a total of three premeditated ambushes.

One of them was a conspiracy devised by Xu Wang when Zhou Yan had just arrived at the mine.

After Zhou Yan subdued the two brothers Xu Wang and Xu Xiong, he already knew that it was the Da Furen who secretly instigated them behind the scenes.

As for the gang of bandits ambushing in the dense forest, although they couldn't be sure who was behind the scenes, Zhou Yan also knew that if it wasn't the eldest lady, it might be the second lady.

Compared with the third wife who was not well-born, only the first lady and the second lady have the strength to buy the bandits in the Ailao Mountains.

As for that Lin Hongyi, Zhou Yan was already convinced that it must have been written by the second lady.

After all, Lin Hongyi is Lin Qiulie's adopted son and the second wife's adopted brother, and only the second wife can order Lin Hongyi.

Now that Zhou Yan had just returned to the Zhou family's mansion, he bumped into the second wife directly. He really wanted to see how the second wife would react after seeing him safe and sound.

"Zhou Yan has met Sanniang, but he hasn't seen her for several months. How is Sanniang's health recently?!"

But seeing Zhou Yan walking forward quickly, after bowing his hands and saluting, he said to the second lady with a light smile.

Hearing Zhou Yan's voice in her ears, the second lady couldn't help being startled, and then her pupils shrank suddenly, as if she had been frightened by something terrible.

"How is it possible? How could he come back alive? How did Hong Yi do things? Could it be..."

Looking at Zhou Yan with a smile on the corner of his mouth, the second lady's heart immediately surged with turmoil: "No...impossible, with Hongyi's strength, there are not many people in the entire Zhou family who can suppress him. How could this trash come back alive? ?!"

You must know that even in the entire Yanzhou Mansion, Lin Hongyi can be regarded as a well-known warrior. He broke through to the realm of blood-quenching martial arts in his early thirties. into the heat.

In order to take advantage of Zhou Yan's death, the second lady cut off the hope of the eldest lady and Zhou Fang being the heirs of the Zhou family, so she directly sent Lin Hongyi, a righteous brother in the blood quenching realm, to personally intercept and kill Zhou Yan.

However, now that Zhou Yan was standing in front of her safe and sound, how could she calm down.

Although she was terrified in her heart, the concentration of the second lady was so extraordinary that she didn't show it at all on her face.

"I'm back. You are a day later than your father's time. If you have time to care about Sanniang's health, why not worry about yourself!"

After the second lady smiled as if nothing had happened, she said in an indifferent voice.

Zhou Yan also knew that since he delayed the time limited by Zhou Chuanxiong, he would definitely be punished by Zhou Chuanxiong in a while, and at the very least, he would also be scolded.

The second lady's words meant nothing more than preparing to watch Zhou Yan's joke.

But Zhou Yan didn't take it to heart at all. He said with a half-smile, "I don't worry about Sanniang now. There are bandits all over the Ailao Mountain Range. I believe my father will understand!"

After the words fell, without waiting for the second wife to speak again, Zhou Yan turned around and walked towards the Zhou family's meeting hall.

"That's right! I heard that Sanniang's father, Mr. Lin, has the reputation of a gravel stick?"

However, just when Zhou Yan was about to step into the courtyard where the conference hall is located, he suddenly turned around and whispered in the second lady's ear: "I happened to pick up an iron rod when I came back. The quality is not bad, and I will send it to Mr. Lin when I have time!"

Immediately, Zhou Yan turned back and continued walking into the Zhou family's meeting hall.

However, after the second lady heard Zhou Yan's voice, she froze in place with ashen face as if she had been struck by lightning.

She didn't know the meaning of Zhou Yan's words, it was like telling her clearly that her righteous brother Lin Hongyi had died in the Ailao Mountains.
