In Yan's manor, Yan Xulun was enjoying a bowl of white jade paste soup that was as smooth as snow fat.
This soup is extracted from the inner organs of spiritual creatures, mixed with golden potato leaf juice, and infused with many secret spices and white milk. It has a rich and thick aroma and a smooth taste. When you swallow it, it feels like taking a jade pill.
.
He used to drink three bowls of this white jade ointment soup every week, which kept him looking good and full of vitality.
However, with the decline of his power in the Divine Army, the channels for obtaining spiritual creatures have also become narrower, and the number of people who used to offer sacrifices has become smaller and smaller. Now he can only drink one bowl a month.
After Hejiang took over Almotay's position as Zuojunjun, he completely took over Almotay's original forces without any setbacks.
Most of the people in the Shenwei Army are from naturalized natives and An people, and all of them attach great importance to force. However, Yan Xulun himself does not have any strength, so no one is willing to follow him.
Yan Xulun also regretted slightly at this moment. He had been trying his best to reject Tianxia's language and writing before, but after completely abandoning Tianxia's etiquette and music education, he found that the result was that everyone was immoral and disrespectful.
, acts arrogantly, disdains justice and morality, and simply respects the strong.
If Ning Kunlun was still alive, he could still maintain all this, but after his disappearance, all his power was gone.
He is now waiting for his son Yan Zhu to become stronger, so that he can regain his previous power.
Just last month, he agreed to the people of the Fushen Church and allowed Yan Zhu to take advantage of the Chinese New Year break to visit the stronghold of the Fushen Church in the name of traveling and perform a ceremony to unlock the shackles of power.
Yan Zhu only returned to the manor in the past few days and excitedly told him that the ceremony went very smoothly.
However, unlike the power rituals of the Divine Lieutenant Army, the Church of Restoration of God infuses external power into the body of the recipient, rather than focusing on developing its own power like within the Divine Lieutenant Army.
It is precisely because these powers do not belong to the person himself, and if he tries to use them, he will not be able to adapt to them, and may even hurt himself. Therefore, the people of the Restoration of Gods Association have placed some restrictions on Yan Zhu, which he
It takes a little bit of adaptation on your own, and only when you fully master it can you truly turn these external powers into your own.
Yan Xulun felt that this method was better. There were many factions in the Shenwei Army and the members were complex. The sudden increase in Yan Zhu's strength would also arouse the suspicion of many people. Instead, he grew up little by little and became less conspicuous.
After he drank the whole bowl of white jade ointment soup without even a drop remaining, he felt his whole body become hot and his skin turned red. Knowing that the medicine was taking effect, he stood up and began to stretch his muscles and bones. Soon, the bones and joints in his body
There was a crackling sound.
After half a summer, as the potency of the medicine gradually dissipated, he sweated profusely, returned to the tent to wash up, and prepared to take another nap according to his usual schedule.
And just when he turned his head, he suddenly felt the curtains fluttering. This was inside the big tent and there shouldn't be wind, so he immediately realized that something was wrong. He quietly moved his hand to his waist.
On the short knife.
"Deputy Lieutenant Commander Yan, there's no need to do those little tricks." A familiar voice came from behind.
Upon hearing this, Yan Xulun slowly turned around and saw a man wearing Shengjiang clothes floating there, with his hands behind his back and his feet half a foot off the ground. He had a proud look on his face.
He glanced twice and said: "It turns out that Captain Lin is leading it. Why are you here?"
Captain Lin glanced at him, smiled playfully, and said: "Deputy Master Yan, I am here to remind you that just at the meeting of scholars in the capital, Xia Shi Zhang Yu proposed a review of the fire at the Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Regarding this case, the Governor's Office has issued an order to arrest you and your son Yan Zhu. The guards who want to come to the capital and people from Xuanfu are already on the way..."
"Oh, that's right." He seemed to have remembered something and pretended to be shocked: "Almotai turned out to be really dead. Yes, he was beaten to death by Zhang Yu himself. How about it? Isn't it surprising?"
Yan Xulun's expression suddenly changed. After a while, he said in a deep voice: "Did the Lieutenant ask you to come?"
Captain Lin glanced at his trembling fingers and said slowly, "I think it would be better for Deputy Lieutenant Commander Yan to take care of himself at this time."
Yan Xulun looked at him, took two steps forward, and said with a hint of anxiety: "I want to see the captain!"
Captain Lin sneered a few times, folded his arms and said, "I'm really sorry, I'm afraid Lieutenant Commander has no time to come see you."
A trace of despair flashed in Yan Xulun's eyes, and he immediately understood that he had been given up.
If Almotel was still there, the situation might not have reached this point, but...
Wrong, his previous judgment on Zhang Yu was completely wrong!
It was also because of this mistake that everything collapsed now.
He took a few hard breaths, looked at the other person and said, "I understand, Captain Lin, what do you need me to do to protect my children and clan members?"
"Yes, this is the correct attitude," Captain Lin raised his chin and gestured to him: "The captain said, I hope you will hand over the person and the things you got from the Academy of Literature.
"
Yan Xulun was surprised and said: "What? Who?"
Captain Lin sneered a few times and said: "Stop pretending to be confused, do you think you did it flawlessly? Will the captain really believe what you say? Didn't anything be found in the Wenxiu Academy? The captain just wants you to go with peace of mind.
Just do this, old man Qiu is still translating secret texts in your cellar, right?"
Yan Xulun remained silent. If he knew about this, it meant that there must be someone close to him who betrayed him.
He gritted his teeth and said: "It turns out that the lieutenant has known about it for a long time. Okay, I'll hand it over! But I hope you can do what you promised me!"
Captain Lin snorted, "As long as you honestly take on everything and hand over all your things and people, the captain will naturally come forward to protect your son and daughter. As for your clan members, no one is interested in them."
Yan Xulun clasped his fists and said, "Then I ask Captain Lin to take the lead in thanking the Lieutenant for me."
"Captain Lieutenant!"
At this time, a confidant rushed in in a hurry. He glanced at Captain Lin who was hanging there in surprise, and then looked at Yan Xulun.
Yan Xulun shouted: "What's the matter, tell me!"
The confidant pointed outside and said: "Master Lieutenant, there is an army of about a thousand people coming outside. It seems that they are coming towards our manor. Do you want me to go to the military camp to send a message?"
Yan Xulun said solemnly: "I understand. If those soldiers and horses come, don't resist. Open the door of the manor and let them in."
The confidant said in surprise: "Master Lieutenant?"
Yan Xulun said: "Do as I say!"
The confidant was stunned for a moment, not daring to disobey the order. He turned around and was about to go out, but saw a ray of light passing by. In an instant, his body was cut in half vertically, and the body fell to the ground. The tent was filled with a thick
The smell of blood.
Captain Lin slowly retracted his outstretched finger.
Yan Xulun suppressed his anger and said, "What are you doing?"
Captain Lin smiled and said: "I am here to report the news so that no one knows about it. Deputy Lieutenant Commander Yan, please work hard and put up a little resistance."
"Who are you? What do you want to do?"
At this moment, a loud shout came, and then a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old rushed in, and then punched Captain Lin!
Yan Xulun was shocked: "Stop!"
But it was already too late, the punch had already been punched. Captain Lin didn't pay much attention to it at first. He knew who it was and what level of power it had, so he still hung there, with a ray of light all over his body, and took the punch lightly.
Boxing, so as to show one's composure.
But he never expected that the force coming from the opposite side was so great that he was caught off guard and his hand was blocked directly, and then he was hit directly in the face by a fist that shone with golden light.
The light on his body suddenly collapsed, even his cheeks were deformed, and his whole body flew directly out with a huge force, breaking through the tent and hitting the weapons rack outside the couch.
The young man succeeded with a punch, kept moving, yelled, and continued to rush out towards the damaged tent. Then there were constant collision sounds and angry shouts outside.
When Yan Xulun hurriedly walked out, he saw Captain Lin floating in the air. The redness and swelling at the corners of his mouth were slowly fading away. He looked down and said: "Yan Xulun, I didn't expect that your son is still hiding deep in his heart."
Lu, okay! It seems you don’t need my help anymore, you can solve your own problems."
After saying a harsh word, he glanced at Yan Zhu bitterly, swayed his body, and flew away.
When Yan Xulun saw the man walking away, he knew that this road was dead. He was anxious and angry. He turned his head and said to the young man in a hurried voice: "Zhu'er, go quickly. Remember what I have done before."
Go to the place I told you and hide there!"
"Dad, what are you afraid of? I am no better than before. Even if Almotel comes, I am not necessarily afraid of him."
Yan Zhu, however, was full of energy. He didn't know what fear meant. He was disapproving but also had a hint of excitement. "Dad, if there are people coming from outside, I will fight one of them. I will fight two of them if they come!"
Yan Xulun stepped forward, grabbed his shoulder, and growled: "Zhu'er, you don't understand, this time the Duhu Palace and the Xuan Palace have joined forces to deal with our father and son. No matter how many people you can fight, how many people can you deal with?
Listen to dad and let’s go!”
"I..." Yan Zhu was a little stunned. He had never seen Yan Xulun lose his composure in such a hurry. He hesitated and said: "Okay..."
But at this moment, with a bang, a figure fell straight down from the sky and hit the ground. This was a capable middle-aged man, but he was tall and wearing the robe of a capital guard, and outside
Wrapped in a layer of light brown spiritual light.
Yan Xulun was surprised and said: "An Zhu?"
An Zhu looked at the two people and said coldly: "On the order of the Governor, Yan Xulun and his son were arrested..."
"ah……"
Yan Zhu shouted and rushed forward, his body glowing brightly, and he punched the person.
Yan Xulun was frightened and said: "Zhu'er, step back, you are not him..."
However, An Zhu leaned slightly and avoided the punch. Then, taking advantage of his height, he naturally stretched out his hand and placed it on Yan Zhu's head. He just turned his wrist slightly and clicked it.
His neck was twisted to the back.
Yan Xulun looked at Yan Zhu's wide-eyed face, still with an expression of disbelief on his face, and said with trembling lips: "You, you..."
An Zhu let go of his hand, letting the limp body fall to the ground, and said expressionlessly: "If there is resistance, we will kill without mercy!"
