Martial arts long journey

Chapter 269 Former enemies
Ever since Zhou Yan set foot in the Jianghu martial arts world, most of his actions were extremely ruthless, and he rarely had friends and confidants around him, but this did not mean that Zhou Yan was a lonely person by nature.

In this Jianghu martial arts world, human relations and sophistication are indispensable, and Zhou Yan is naturally inevitable.

Although Liu Jingyan is the fourth prince of the Shu Kingdom, he deliberately took the initiative to make friends with Zhou Yan, which made Zhou Yan feel a lot of goodwill in his heart.

And Xue Li is a man with a bold and righteous nature, and his identity and background are not much different.

How could Zhou Yan mind building a good relationship with the two of them?The most important thing is that there is no conflict of interest between the two of them and Zhou Yan.

After going through all these cups and cups, the relationship between Zhou Yan, Liu Jingyan, and Xue Li couldn't help becoming more familiar.

Under the joy of the guests and hosts, the atmosphere on the seventh floor of Lingyun Building was also very warm.

It's a pity that there is always a banquet in the world, and with the slow passage of time, the sky outside Lingyun Tower gradually dimmed.

Even the dishes and fine wines on the table have been replaced several times one after another.

One must know that Liu Jingyan is not one of those idle royal sons of Shu, he also serves as the sheriff of Jiangyan County.

Although Liu Jingyan doesn't need to handle everything personally because of the dedicated efforts of his disciples and diners.

But in this huge Jiangyan County, there are still many important things to do every day, and only Liu Jingyan, who is the county guard, is qualified to be the master.

At this moment, it was already getting late outside. If the banquet continued, Liu Jingyan's official duties today would be postponed until tomorrow.

For Liu Jingyan, who has vowed to be a wise monarch, he will naturally not allow such things to happen.

The purpose of Liu Jingyan holding this banquet is mainly to win over and make friends with Zhou Yan.

After all the teasing and drinking, the relationship between Liu Jingyan and Zhou Yan can be regarded as acquainted.

But Liu Jingyan and Zhou Yan are meeting for the first time after all, the matter of win over must not be rushed, it is best to do everything slowly.

Therefore, Liu Jingyan did not plan to waste time on this banquet any longer!
After slowly standing up from his seat, Liu Jingyan glanced at everyone on the table around him, raised his glass and said with a light smile, "Everyone, it's getting late now, and I still have some business to deal with here. I won’t accompany you any longer!”

"Everyone, please feel free, this glass of wine is considered to be an apology to everyone alone!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Jingyan directly raised his head and drank the fine wine in the glass.

Hearing Liu Jingyan's voice, everyone present also understood Liu Jingyan's meaning of seeing off guests.

"Since Fourth Master has something important to deal with, then I won't bother Fourth Master anymore!"

"Thank you, Fourth Master, for your hospitality. I'll take my leave first!"

.........

They first got up and drank the wine in one gulp, then bid farewell to Liu Jingyan.

"Everyone, go slowly, I won't see you off!"

Liu Jingyan nodded with a smile and said.

After saluting to Liu Jingyan, those guests also walked slowly towards the bottom of Lingyun Tower.

It didn't take long for Zhou Yan and Xue Li to be the only ones left on the seventh floor of Lingyun Building, except for the people inside Lingyun Building.

"Since the fourth prince has something to do, I won't bother you anymore. Thank you, the fourth prince, for your hospitality today!"

Zhou Yan stood up slowly, arched and said aloud.

"Brother Zhou, you are being polite, why are you and I being so polite!"

Seeing such a situation, Liu Jingyan hurried forward, supported Zhou Yan's arm, and said with a smile.

At the same time, Zhou Yan also stood up straight.

"Jingyan won't keep Brother Zhou and Brother Xue any longer today, another day... another day Jingyan will definitely accompany Brother Zhou and Brother Xue until they get drunk and return!"

After withdrawing his hands, Liu Jingyan continued to speak.

"Old Huo, please send Brother Zhou and Brother Xue off instead of Gu!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Jingyan called Huo Lao to his side, and gave him instructions aloud.

"You two, this way please!"

Huo Lao stretched out his hand and said with a light smile.

"Fourth Prince, take care, I will take my leave!"

Zhou Yan and Xue Li nodded, and then they walked down to the first floor of Lingyun Building under Huo Lao's guidance.

Winding down the stairs paved with white jade, it didn't take long for Zhou Yan and Xue Li to be sent outside the gate of Lingyun Building by Huo Lao.

"Brother Xue, let's just say goodbye!"

Zhou Yan stopped his pace slowly, turned to look at Xue Li and said with cupped hands.

Xue Li also bowed his hands and said, "That's fine, Brother Zhou..."

However, before the words from Xue Li's mouth fell completely, a sharp voice full of hatred suddenly sounded from the long street in front of Lingyun Tower.

"Zhou Yan! It's you?!"

This sudden voice attracted the attention of both Zhou Yan and Xue Li, and they looked up the long street at the same time.

I saw a girl dressed in a plain white dress, dressed like a Jianghu heroine, staring at Zhou Yan with scarlet eyes, as if she was about to swallow Zhou Yan alive.

"Huh? It's you?!"

Looking at the woman's slightly familiar face, Zhou Yan thought for a while before recalling the memory of the woman in his mind.

This woman is none other than Chun Caining, a disciple of Mu Xuefeng of the Eight Scenery Sword Sect.

There was a deep blood feud between Chun Caining and Zhou Yan, and the entire Chun family in Suian Mansion was wiped out by Zhou Yan.

Because of the deaths of her father, brother and lover, Chun Caining has been in a daze for the past two years, which made her master Mu Hanqiu very worried.

Now it is time for the famous Sword Raising Competition to be held in the famous sword villa. In order to let Chun Caining go out to relax, she asks the talents of the Eight Scenery Sword Sect to come to the Sword Raising Competition to bring with them Chun Caining went to Xishu together.

Chun Caining was actually in a really good mood during the period of time when she came to Xishu for a visit.

After all, her father, brother and lover have been dead for such a long time, and last time she also heard that Zhou Yan was hunted down by Bajing Jianzong and Zhongping Tao's family, and finally there was no news at all. It's nothing.

So after coming to Jiangyan County, Chun Caining had a good time playing for two days.

However, what Chun Caining didn't expect was that when she came to Lingyun Tower, she saw Zhou Yan's figure again.
