******
In December of the third year of Guanghe, there was heavy snow in the wings.

It was the end of the year, and Chu Yan lit a pine oil lamp, making the room a little warmer.

Although charcoal was distributed, Chu Yan was unwilling to use it.He firmly believes that the more favorable the environment, the more difficult life must be maintained.An easy life will make people less aggressive, but he is a person with a strong aggressiveness.Or, is it ambition?Chu Yan couldn't explain clearly, but she always kept a simple living habit.

Speaking of which, he was born in a fairly good family.

Father is a squire in Zhending, quite prestigious.But after three years of severe drought in Changshan, the officials sent by the imperial court not only ignored it, but also kept searching the people.The father was beaten to death at the gate of the yamen by the government for arguing with reason.

From then on, Chu Yan's family was ruined and lost in the rivers and lakes.

Fortunately, he had learned military art from others when he was young, and he was good at marksmanship.After wandering in the rivers and lakes for three years, he is still alive and well.The officials who ruined his family in the past have been killed by him.As a criminal wanted by the imperial court, Chu Yan took refuge in Zhang Niujiao of Taiping Road three years ago, and with her own ability, she was favored by Zhang Niujiao.

The year my father died, there was also such a heavy snowfall.

Chu Yan picked up the tiger-head chiseled golden gun and strode out of the room.

Standing in the yard, the mood became extraordinarily gloomy.He brandished his long spear, bringing out streaks of light.The tip of the gun trembled, and seven or eight gun flowers danced out.The big gun flew up and down like a dragon going out to sea.Chu Yan felt that the official who killed her father was standing right in front of her, with anger gushing out of her chest, shouting loudly, and the sound of guns hanging in the wind, dancing with flying snow all over the sky.

"Okay, well done!"

Just as Chu Yan was about to raise his spear, someone nearby suddenly cheered loudly, clapping and laughing.

The big gun fluttered and the big python turned over. Chu Yan stepped back and turned her head to look to the side.I saw a middle-aged man standing with his hands behind his back, smiling at him.

"Father, when did you come back?"

Chu Yan was very happy to see that man.This middle-aged man is Zhang Niujiao, the commander-in-chief of the North of Taiping Dao. He came from a poor family, but he has practiced martial arts very well.Moreover, he has outstanding military skills and upright temperament, which won Zhang Jiao's trust.Apart from the three brothers Zhang Jiao, he is one of the only two figures who can stand on his own in the Taiping Road. He is as famous as Zhang Mancheng in Runan.

At the beginning when Chu Yan came to vote, Zhang Niujiao took a fancy to him at a glance, not only entrusted him with important tasks, but also accepted him as his adopted son.

And this Chu Yan is also very competitive, which proves Zhang Niujiao's vision.

Today, Chu Yan is the commander of Zhang Niujiao's own army, and is also known as Xiaoqu Shuai. Even Zhang Jiao's three brothers have heard of his name.

Chu Yan was very grateful to Zhang Niujiao.

Without Zhang Niujiao's kindness, Chu Yan would not be where he is today.

So when I saw Zhang Niujiao, I was very happy.In addition to using a spear all the way just now, the gloom in my heart was dispelled a lot.

Holding the big gun upside down, he stepped forward to salute Zhang Niujiao.

Zhang Niujiao supported Chu Yan and said with a smile: "Feiyan's throat lock gun makes her more and more beautiful. I am really happy for my father."

"It's not that the foster father taught me well!"

Zhang Niujiao laughed loudly, and waved his hand to signal the followers behind him to step back.Pulling Chu Yan into the room, she frowned suddenly, and said with some displeasure: "How do those people do things? Why don't they light a brazier in the room?"

Chu Yan quickly said: "Father, this is Yan's idea. Yan remembers that when she was young, she listened to her father read a book, and there was a passage in it like this: God will send a great mission to the people, and you must first work hard on your will and your bones. Hungry for his skin... I think this is a good statement. Those who achieve great things must be vigilant at all times, and they will lose their fighting spirit if they are greedy for enjoyment."

Zhang Niujiao nodded repeatedly, "My son is right."

"They sent charcoal, but I just don't want to use it. But since the adoptive father came, I immediately ordered someone to bring it."

After a while, there was a brazier brought by Chu Yan's person, adding a bit of warmth to the room.

Chu Yan asked: "Father, the great virtuous teacher came to you overnight, what happened?"

Zhang Niujiao's expression darkened, and he sighed and said, "Have you heard of the incidents in which the ashrams in Suiyang, Changyi, Lu State and other places were attacked one after another?"

Chu Yan nodded, "I've heard some people say it."

"Then what do you think?"

"view?"

"Today it's just you and my father and son chatting. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't have any worries. God knows, you know and I know."

Chu Yan thought for a while, "I don't know the cause of the incident very clearly, I only heard it vaguely mentioned. It seems that Li Damu in Suiyang took other people's property and killed his family. In the end, the friend of the other party killed Li Damu's nephew for revenge... ...Baby thought that we were wrong from the beginning of this matter. Not to mention taking property, it is easy to arouse public anger, and it is easy to expose our details. The most important thing is that Li Damu should not mobilize the power of the dojos in various states for his own personal enmity. I I am worried that this will completely expose our strength and attract the attention of the imperial court."

"There's nothing to be afraid of!" Zhang Niujiao thought for a while, "With Feng Qiao and Xu Feng in the middle to mediate, there won't be much movement from the court. Those eunuchs have taken so many benefits from us. If you can't do it, what's the use?"

Chu Yan nodded, "This is just one of them."

"What about the second one?"

"From the news of the attack on the Lu country dojo, the boy has been paying attention to this matter. I always feel that there is a mystery in it... Those people seem to be doing this on purpose so that we can pay attention to them. But why should we pay attention to them? The boy thinks that this is not pure revenge, but deliberately attracting our attention to cover up something."

Zhang Niujiao nodded appreciatively again, "My son is really smart, and he deserves to be recommended by his father in front of a great virtuous teacher."

"Recommend? What do you recommend?" Chu Yan asked in confusion.

Zhang Niujiao was not in a hurry to answer, but after pondering for a moment, he asked again: "I'll talk about this matter later. As a father, I'm asking you, is there any other third?"

"Thirdly, I observed the other party's actions, they are all well-trained, and I can see that those people are not the mountain peasants that Li Damu said, let alone some rogues... My child is worried, Zhang Zhangba is a reckless person, I am afraid Not the other party's opponent. My child has read those reports carefully and found that the other party is not only brave, but also quite resourceful, I'm afraid..."

Before Chu Yan finished speaking, Zhang Niujiao let out a long sigh.

"My son observed it carefully. I didn't even pay attention to these situations before, and I thought it was a gangster. I didn't expect..."

"Father, what happened?"

Chu Yan had a bad feeling, looked at Zhang Niujiao and asked.

"The great virtuous teacher asked me to go and told me two things. First, someone stole something from Dongjun last month."

"what?"

"A list...someone stole a list, all of which are Luo Yang's court officials and clans who are loyal to us."

Chu Yan was shocked when she heard this, "Is this really true?"

"The second thing is that Zhang Zhangba and Tao Pinghan led [-] yellow-turban fighters to chase each other three days ago, but they accidentally encountered an ambush in Guangling. Those people were really vicious. They burned me to death with [-] elite yellow-turban warriors." Lishi, Zhang Zhangba, and Tao Pinghan died in battle. Although the news has not been spread yet, the believers in Xuzhou are already in panic."

Chu Yan's face turned pale.

"Father, this is definitely not the work of a small group of rogues. The court must be eyeing us. The first thing to do is to confirm the whereabouts of the list. If the list flows into Luoyang, then the forces we have worked so hard in Luoyang will all be destroyed. The smoke cleared."

In the middle of speaking, Chu Yan suddenly stopped talking.

He seemed to understand something, he got up and was about to speak, but was stopped by Zhang Niujiao.

"Feiyan, the matter of the list is handled by the great virtuous teacher himself. The whereabouts of the list are still uncertain. We only know that the people who stole the list are now fleeing with those people. After the Guangling was burned, those people suddenly disappeared. We The uprising is imminent, and preparations for soldiers, horses, food and grass are also underway. But the believers are now shaken, and if those people cannot be killed immediately, the reputation of the great virtuous teacher will also be severely hit."

Chu Yan really wanted to say: That list may have been sent to Luoyang.

But he still held back, because he also knew that Zhang Jiao's prestige played an important role in Taiping Dao's popularity today.

Zhang Niujiao said: "My father has ordered people to strictly guard the main roads leading to Luoyang from the Qing, Yan, and Henan prefectures. You don't need to worry about the list. As long as the list appears, Feng Xuan and Xu Feng will naturally try to deal with it. It's just those Thieves, someone needs to deal with them. Your uncle Zhang Mancheng is currently doing his best to deal with military affairs in the south. Things in the area from Runan to Nanyang are cumbersome, and I am afraid he will not be able to spare him for a while. Therefore, as a father, I recommended you to the great virtuous teacher. You are in charge."

After thinking about it, Chu Yan felt that the list should not be a problem.

With Feng Xuan and Xu Feng in Luoyang, any trouble could hardly escape their eyes and ears.

It's just that he still has some worries in his heart. He always feels that this matter is not as simple as he imagined.

"Feiyan?"

Chu Yan suddenly came to her senses, stood up and cupped her hands and said, "Father, it's not difficult if you don't deal with this matter, but my son wants to know, can Xu, Yang, and Jing states cooperate? If so, my son will definitely find those people and kill them." Of."

"The great virtuous master has ordered that you can dispatch the dojos of the southern states at will. Except for the military affairs, all the dojos need to cooperate with your actions and obey your command. This is the heavenly order given to you by the great virtuous master. The order can mobilize manpower from all states."

Chu Yan took the gold medal from Zhang Niujiao's hand, glanced at it, and put it in her arms solemnly.

"Father, don't worry, the child will take the thief's head and return to his command."

Zhang Niujiao smiled slightly, stood up and patted Chu Yan on the shoulder and said, "I naturally believe that you can do it. I will listen to your good news at home as a father... In addition, this matter should be done as soon as possible. You'd better clean it up overnight, God. As soon as the light is on, take people out."

Chu Yan thought for a while, then bowed and said, "Here!"
