As the lord of the rich city of Jiangnan, Yan Bolai is very busy with work every day.
However, even under such circumstances, he still decided to find his son Yan Xiangma to have a talk with him.
He glanced at the 'tiger roaring over the mountains' painting of the kingdom's famous teacher Qin Kuaiyu standing in the corner, picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of hot tea. He said: "The ancients pay attention to the spirit of the dragon and tiger, the dragon has been slaughtered, but the tiger still roars proudly in the mountains — — Qin Kuaiyu is indeed a famous teacher of the kingdom, with just a few strokes he vividly embellished the majesty of the tiger king. Every time I look at this painting, it makes me feel more open-minded and full of boundless spirit. "
Yan Xiangma knew that his father's documents were temporarily finished, he turned around and walked towards his father, smiled and said: "Father is the Tiger King of Jiangnan city, with one roar, the heroes of Jiangnan city are silent, and the small fry bow their heads."
"Bootlicker." Yan Bolai said with a calm expression. He had heard flattery that was even more shameless than this, and the flattery that came out of his own son's mouth was innumerable. "Crow was killed by you?"
"Yes, father." Yan Xiangma said with a smile: "Crow was seeking his own death, he dared to attack sister Xiaoxin. Recently the city's military police were all sent out to search for Crow's whereabouts, I also wanted to share father's worries and avenge my sister — — So I sent some of my trusted subordinates to search for Crow's whereabouts, I didn't expect them to find some traces. We followed the clues, then set up an inescapable net and killed him in one fell swoop — — "
"Where did you kill him?"
"Li Muyang's house."
"Which classmate of Xiaoxin?"
"It's her father."
Yan Bolai raised his head in contemplation, his eyes without any focus, and said in a low voice: "Both attacks are related to that Li Muyang, is Li Muyang's identity — — clean?"
"Father, I asked someone to check, absolutely clean. He's definitely not a pawn of the Song family or the Lu Family in Jiangnan city — — "
The expression in Yan Bolai's eyes became severe, and he shouted in a low voice, "Who told you that this assassination was sent by the Song Family or the Lu Family?"
"Father, do I still need someone to tell me this? Except for the Song and Lu families — — "
"Shut up. Don't mention things like this again without evidence."
"I'm not talking nonsense, I just said it casually in front of you, now there's only us father and son in this room — –"
"You are not allowed to make wild guesses in front of me and attack others. Remember, this is a big taboo. "
"Yes." Yan Xiangma bowed slightly and accepted his father's teachings.
Only then did Yan Bolai's complexion ease a little. Looking at his son, he said, "Crow is ranked in the top 20 of the Empire's assassin list, his strength is not weak. You're only at the middle stages of the High Mountain realm — — -How did you kill Crow by yourself? "
"I'm not the only one. Li Dalu and the others are helping. You also know, Li Dalu and the others are also very strong — — it's just that they're a bit stupid. "
"Since your people found the whereabouts of assassin Crow, why didn't you report to the city's lord's mansion in time? Why didn't you discuss with me before you took out the wanted poster? "Yan Bolai thoughtfully looked at Yan Xiangma and said:" What are you hiding? "
Yan Xiangma's expression stiffened slightly, then instantly returned to normal and said with a smile: "Why would I hide anything? What do I have to hide? The reason why I didn't inform the city's lord's mansion in time was because I didn't have enough time. You also know Crow's ability, he comes and goes without a trace, and his speed of killing is super fast. After I met him, I didn't even have the chance to breathe, let alone send someone to ask for help. Besides, the reward for Crow was announced by the city's lord's mansion, father personally stamped it. After I killed Crow, I naturally have to receive the reward, otherwise, with father's noble character and unquestionable integrity, you certainly won't let me receive the three thousand gold coins — — "
"Do you know, after you receive the credit, the mastermind behind the scenes will keep an eye on you, you will also have to bear their endless revenge — —"
"Father, who am I?"
“----”
"I am Yan Xiangma, the son of the lord of Jiangnan city, Yan Bolai. My father has an illustrious reputation, he guards an area, I naturally have to stand up to the sky and be fearless. Those hooligan scum who only dare to hide behind the scenes, do you think I'll put them in my eyes? If they have the ability then jump out and fight with me, see if I don't crush their balls — — "
"Nonsense." Yan Bolai slammed his hand on the table. "Do you think this is child's play?"
Yan Xiangma looked at his father with a serious face and said: "I don't think this is child's play, but, this is my responsibility."
Yan Bolai stared at his son for a good while, then waved his hand and said: "Go out."
"Yes, father."
Yan Xiangma opened his mouth to say something, but in the end no words came out, he turned around and walked towards the outside.
Ka — —
The sound of a mechanism was heard in the room.
The huge 'Tiger Roaring on the Mountains' painting was split into two from the middle, and a huge hole appeared in the middle of the wall. A man wearing a grey robe came out from the black hole.
He walked over to Yan Bolai, looked at him and said: "Lord, young master is too deeply involved in this matter, I'm afraid there will be trouble in the future."
Yan Bolai pushed the chair away and stood up, pacing back and forth in the study with some annoyance. He said: "The Cui family did not give a conclusion on this matter, but he stirred up a storm in the middle, it really makes people angry. It seems that I have neglected to discipline him. "
"What should we do next?"
Yan Bolai looked at the moonlight outside the window, pondered for a long time, and then said: "First, we must send people to protect Xiangma's safety. He has some ability to protect himself, but this is far from enough. "
"Yes."
"Second, we must protect Xiaoxin's safety. It's good that Xiaoxin did not go out these two days. The college entrance examination is over, in a few days the Cui family will come, Xiaoxin will also be taken back to Tiandu — The imperial capital is in a turbulent situation, the situation is unpredictable. We must wait and see. "
"Yes."
"Third, we must investigate Li Muyang again, if necessary, we might as well personally test him — —"
"Lord suspects that Li Muyang is someone else's chess piece?" The black-robed man asked in a low voice: "Young master has investigated, I have also asked people to investigate. All his information is normal, we can't find any flaws. "
"If we can't find any flaws, then maybe it's the biggest flaw." Yan Bolai's expression was grave and stern. "A master that can kill Crow, how could he be a useless youngster that you and I know of?"
"Yes." The black-robed man said in a low voice.
Yan Bolai gently sighed and said: "Xiangma idling around all day is not the right path after all, this time when Xiaoxin returns to the capital, let him go to Tiandu to find a job."
