New Year's Day, afternoon

Yanhoufu

"Happy New Year, Lord Yan!"

Xiao Jingyang bowed respectfully to the old man in front of him. Although it was a bit surprising to see this old man here today, he was not an ordinary person, so he was naturally worthy of this salute.

"Yes!" Lord Yan nodded with a smile and said in a kind tone:

"Did Jingyang come to Yujin today?"

"Yes!" Xiao Jingyang nodded.

"We usually play together in the afternoon on New Year's Day, and Jingrui will be here soon."

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Mr. Yan showed a look of surprise on his face, and then a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes, which disappeared in an instant.

"It seems that I have really missed a lot in the past few years!"

Xiao Jingyang naturally understood that the old man in front of him with a resolute face, blazing eyes, and a tall body was feeling particularly depressed.

Marquis Yan's name is Yan Que, and he is the contemporary head of the Yan family. Even though in fact, the Yan family's lineage currently only consists of him and Yan Yujin. (The queen is already a member of the royal family and cannot be considered a member of the Yan family.

)

The Yan family is one of the famous families in Daliang Kingdom. It has produced three emperors and two queens, and it can be said that it is infinitely prosperous.

Marquis Yan is also a man who can be called a powerful man. He once used his own power to fight with the Confucian scholars and used his words as a sword. When the Three Kingdoms besieged Daliang, he broke through the defense line of trust of the Three Kingdoms and saved Daliang.

At that time, he was only about 20 years old, and he was awarded the title of Marquis at a young age. Even now, he is still a legend.

The current emperor also ascended the throne with the assistance of him and Lin Xie.

It's just that now he has reached the age of knowing his fate. Looking at the current court and seeing the old people from the past dying tragically because of the so-called imperial power, even the person he loved most in his heart committed suicide in front of the Chaoyang Palace.

His heart was completely cold, and he was completely filled with hatred and hatred for the emperor.

After pretending to be a monk for more than ten years, he escaped the emperor's suspicion and murder.

Marquis Yan originally wanted to take revenge by blowing up the emperor with gunpowder at this year's heaven-sacrifice ceremony.

But in the end, Mei Changsu was persuaded by Yan Yujin's fate and gave up the idea of ​​revenge.

At this time, this old man, who is already in his fifties, just wants his children to grow up smoothly, that's all.

Xiao Jingyang didn't know how to answer him, so he could only lower his head silently.

"That's all!" Lord Yan smiled.

"Yujin stayed with me last night and played chess all night long, and I just went to bed this morning."

"He hasn't woken up until now. Now that you're here, I'll send someone to wake him up."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!"

Because Lord Yan has been in the Taoist temple outside the city for so many years. Even if he goes home, he only visits Yan Yujin and then leaves with some things.

Unlike other elders who have been living in Jinling, Xiao Jingyang is not too familiar with him, so it seems a bit awkward to be in the same room at this moment.

Xiao Jingyang didn't know how to talk to the elder in front of him, and the same was true for Mr. Yan.

It's just that many years of Taoist life have long made him express emotion and anger. Unless it touches the depths of his heart, it is difficult for anything to change his expression.

I don’t know if Mr. Yan wants to change the status quo and communicate more with young people about the reasons.

After arranging for a servant to call Yan Yujin, he actually took the initiative to chat with Xiao Jingyang for a few words.

"How is your father lately?"

"Ah?" Xiao Jingyang really didn't expect that Yan Que would take the initiative to chat with him. He originally wanted to just hold on and wait until Yan Yujin arrived before talking.

"Father...Father is doing very well recently."

"Recently, because of the new year, my mother has been more strict, so my father rarely goes out. However, he composes and listens to music at home every day, and his life is still very comfortable."

"Alas! Is he still like this?" Lord Yan smiled after hearing this. He naturally knew what kind of person Prince Ji was.

Although he is not a genius, he is definitely not as simple as he appears.

If it weren't for the fact that Prince Ji was still young when the emperor forced the palace to usurp the throne, otherwise, everything would still be unknown.

"As long as you live a happy life, that's what you should do at this age."

"Oh? That's right! I remember that you went to Langya Pavilion to study art a few years ago? Did you learn anything?"

All this was like an elder asking a junior a concerned question, wanting to know his current situation, so Xiao Jingyang answered the question accordingly.

"Of course I have learned something."

"But most of them are just miscellaneous students, and they can't get into any elegant hall."

"Miscellaneous studies? Since it is knowledge, why can't you get into the so-called elegant hall? Knowledge is just a way to understand things after all." Lord Yan shook his head. He felt in his heart that as long as it is knowledge, study and understand things.

, then it is naturally good.

Elegant hall is the most ridiculous word he has ever heard.

He had also longed for it before, but now the place that could be called the elegant hall was the place in the world that he disliked and hated the most.

"Father, don't listen to this kid's nonsense."

Yan Yujin walked in from the door with a smile, saluted Mr. Yan and then said with a smile:

"Dad! You don't know how capable this kid is."

"He is a martial arts master in the top ten of the Langya List who is not ranked in the Langya List."

"Oh? Why is this?" Lord Yan also became interested when he saw this description.

I basically stayed in the Taoist temple last year, so how could I hear any rumors from the world?

"Around October last year, Jingyang once fought against Qin Yue, the Laughing Sword Master who was seventh on the Langya List." Yan Yujin introduced his friend's deeds in the world with a smile.

"Although they didn't win, the Laughing Sword Master didn't get any benefits either. The two sides ended the battle in a draw."

"That's seventh on the Langya List! In our Daliang territory, only Commander Meng and Zhuo Dingfeng of Tianquan Villa can beat him."

"Our Jingyang can actually tie with him without losing. You can imagine how powerful he is!"

"In the end, the Nirvana in Fire Ranking couldn't be judged because of the draw, so it was announced that the top ten masters in the Nirvana in Fire Ranking were not ranked."

"So that's it!" Mr. Yan's eyes changed slightly when he looked at Xiao Jingyang.

Lord Yan is very powerful, but his greatness does not lie in his martial arts, but in his wisdom.

Naturally, he knew in his heart that Xiao Jingyang's strongest point was not here.

His current martial arts ability against the top ten masters on the Langya List is not worthy of Yan Marquis's attention.

What makes Jamel Xiao really great is actually that he is very young.

Among the top people who can achieve great success in martial arts, the youngest one he knew was Mu Nihuang, but even so, Princess Nihuang was already in her thirties.

And Xiao Jingyang is only eighteen years old.

Being young is the scariest thing.

Precisely because he is young, his room for growth is still very high, and no one can define his future.
