After Su Tang made this suggestion, Zhou Xing, who was already full of anger, could only temporarily hold back his temper and snorted coldly. But what he and Su Tang did not expect was that after hearing the proposal, A Shui left only the sentence "I don't have time to stroll in the county town with you, let's say goodbye first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure flashed in the air and disappeared.

Seeing that he wanted to leave, Zhou Xing immediately wanted to chase him, but Su Tang pulled his sleeves and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhou, stop chasing him, let him go."

Without outsiders present, Zhou Xing was no longer so afraid of Su Tang. Even with his tone, he became a little indifferent and asked: "Why did Lord Su stop me? You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!"

Su Tang felt Zhou Xing's quietly changing attitude towards him at this moment, and couldn't help frowning, and felt a little unhappy in his heart. But in fact, he also knew that with the Zhou family's status, he could only be intersected by peers at most, and there was no big advantage.

Su Tang looked deep in his eyes, and looked straight at the direction A Shui had left before, and replied bluntly: "If the official expected it was not bad, he should have come from that high wall. In addition, you also know that if the matter is too much and alarmed His Majesty, it will not end at that time."

When Zhou Xing heard this answer, he was still angry, but he didn't want to say anything more. He just bowed to Su Tang and disappeared from the sky. When he appeared again, he had already appeared on the river several miles downstream of Duanjiang Pavilion.

Zhou Xing walked on the river, following the gentle water flow along the way, constantly searching for his son's information on the river surface. It was not until he was near a dam that he saw a figure like a floating corpse floating in the river.

Seeing this, Zhou Xing couldn't help but have a cold face. He lifted Zhou Manyuan, which was cold all over, and lifted the latter from the river to the shore. Then he stuffed a healing pill into the other party's mouth and quickly used his power to drive away the cold moisture from the latter's body. Then he carried Zhou Manyuan and flew back to his mansion quickly.

...

Wu family mansion.

The head of the Wu family and his son are gathering in a garden in their home, but without exception, they are all looking at a distant sky that is about to sink into the night. Although they can't see anything, they seem to have seen some unexpected scenery.

After the head of the Wu family felt the movement in the sky gradually fading, he took the initiative to speak: "As expected, someone has been secretly protecting Xu Yan. I said at his age, how could he come to us all the way? I just don't know who the person who stopped Zhou Xing would be."

Wu Shisheng replied, "Since this person can retreat safely from the hands of Uncle Zhou and Lord Su, his identity is not simple. Why don't I go to Lord Su to take a look at the trouble?"

Upon hearing this, the head of the Wu family shook his head and replied, "No need, my Wu family and Xu Yan don't have too many holidays. This muddy water has reached this point today, so there is no need for us to go there again. As for the disciples in the sect that were damaged in spring hunting, they will die if they die. Anyway, except Yan Ziyi, they are just some irrelevant fish and shrimp. Now, even Yan Fu himself has died tragically outside the city. What else can their Yan family use to trouble our Wu family?"

Wu Shisheng said, "The Yan family must not dare to come and look for it."

We are in trouble, but I am afraid they will come to our house for assistance.”

Upon hearing this, the head of the Wu family sneered and replied: "Then you have to see what they want. If the request is not excessive, then give them some sweetness and send them away. But if you overestimate your ability and choose to speak loudly, Yan Fu is fashionable in the world and has the capital to talk to me, why should they talk to me now?"

Wu Shisheng was speechless, and the survival of the strong was the greatest truth.

He pondered for a moment before asking, "Who is my father going to give the remaining position of the four major families to? You know, Li Yang died outside the city this time. The Li family died in just a few years, and their two sons have become useless people. We will definitely not be able to keep this position."

The head of the Wu family replied: "This matter is not something that can be counted by a father's words, but I will try my best to let the Ye family, which had previously been attached to us, and if it succeeds, Ye Jiawen will be more devoted to my Wu family. Alas, it's okay to say that this matter is on Old Zhou'er's side. After all, he had to leave a place with me before, which was considered as owing a favor to our Wu family, but it's hard to discuss with the Bai family. After all, Hao'er and his friends joined forces with the Zhou family in Spring Hunting were already exposed. The reason why the Bai family has been enduring not to cause trouble for our family is just because they are afraid of our family's strength, but it is unlikely to make them nod on this matter."

After hearing this, Wu Shisheng didn't know what to say, after all, his vision was still far worse than his father.

...

After Xu Yan blasted Zhou Manyuan into Huangjiang with his own sword, he did not kill him, but left Duanjiang Pavilion and returned to Lao Liu's carriage.

At this moment, the sky was approaching twilight and it was about to dark, so today it was obvious that it was impossible for him to arrive at the eldest brother's house again.

According to the agreement, the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is the last day of their gathering. If there are still people who cannot get there, the person who arrives first will not wait for the person who has not arrived anymore.

Xu Yan sat in the carriage and sighed slightly, no longer thinking about this matter, because for him, there are more important things to deal with now.

The battle with Zhou Manyuan was Xu Yan's most dangerous battle, because in this battle, he could not use his full strength, but could only compete with his sword's cultivation.

With the cultivation level of the four-story peak against the six-story peak, he was completely different from two realms. This is an irreversible decline and gap. If it weren't for Xu Yan's use of the shocking sword in a daze, he would probably have failed in the opponent's sword.

When Xu Yan thought of that sword, he became a little confused, because in the dazzling light, he really felt that he seemed to see a familiar figure.

"Can it be you really?"

Xu Yan reached out and gently stroked the bloody Fuyao that was placed on his legs, and said softly.

After the battle with Zhou Manyuan, he immediately took back the sword to the Qi Mansion and continued to nourish it, because he finally took it out once, so he naturally wanted to take it back into his Qi Mansion after finishing the next thing.

The sword-raising technique emphasizes the nourishment of flying swords over time. The longer it takes to warm it, the higher the proficiency between the sword cultivator and the sword, and the greater the power. Xu Yan has only been warming up for Fuyao for a few months now, so naturally he can't say that he is thorough.

He controlled the flying sword in his hand, but he would try his best to allow Fu Yao to stay in the Qi Mansion for warming up. He would not take it out easily when he had to.

It was the same thing that almost fell from the battle with Zhou Manyuan, but it was not without any benefits. Even after this battle, Xu Yan's benefits were not small, because he had stuck with the bottleneck that had been around for almost half a year and finally broke through in adversity. Moreover, both of his sword and martial arts cultivation have been broken through.

Xu Yan's current realm is that he has just entered the sixth level of martial arts cultivation, and his swordsmanship cultivation has just entered the fifth floor. This made him secretly relieved. After all, there are only two and a half months left before the dynasty event is truly held.

Without this showdown, he was not sure whether he could successfully break through to a new realm in the next two and a half months, because in many cases, no matter how outstanding a person is in his cultivation, his potential needs to be completely stimulated under certain pressure.

"This is a good thing that has been a lot of trouble?"

When Xu Yan thought of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head gently.

...

About an hour later.

Time is close to the third hour of Hai. Since today is the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month and the wind and snow have already stopped falling, a huge full moon rose in the cold night sky.

However, in the brightly lit county town, the light brought by the moonlight seems too trivial.

The carriage stopped from its driving again.

After the groom named Liu jumped out of the carriage, he said to Xu Yan: "Young Master, the place you said has arrived, but I dare not drive over the streets and alleys over there, so I have to worry about taking two more steps by myself."

After hearing Lao Liu's words, Xu Yan immediately got off the carriage.

On the night of the twelfth lunar month, it was really cold. Xu Yan didn't feel it even while sitting in the carriage, but after getting off the car, when the night wind blew gently towards him, he could clearly feel the coldness from the cold wind.

Xu Yan looked at the face of the groom surnamed Liu's face being blown red by the cold wind, and immediately took out a tael of silver and handed it to the latter. Then he said with a smile: "Starting early in the morning, I drove to Xicheng District in Nancheng District. Brother Liu has worked hard on the way. This is the money for the car, please collect it."

The groom surnamed Liu had already collected half of the travel fee at noon. Now, seeing the other party handed over a tael of silver, although he was very happy, his honest and honest temperament still made him reply with a bitter face: "Young Master, you have given too much. According to the price we agreed in advance, you only need to pay me three cents of silver. How dare I collect this tael of silver, Lao Liu?"

Xu Yan smiled and replied with a smile: "Brother Liu will accept it. I didn't give you any money. If I hadn't delayed you so much time today, if you were a little more compact, you might be able to rush back to Nancheng District. But the weather is too cold now. For the extra money, Brother Liu will go to a inn and stay for one night, and wait until you go back to Nancheng District tomorrow."

Seeing that the groom surnamed Liu looked embarrassed and wanted to say something more, Xu Yan smiled and continued, "Brother Liu doesn't have to think that there is anything, it's just some money. Okay, let's leave."

After saying this, Xu Yan strode towards the other end of the street, the mansion with the words "Yan Mansion" engraved on the plaque on the door.
