"The top pick?"

After Yan Yongjie got the response from Qiu Yan, his expression changed suddenly and his eyes widened, looking in disbelief.

This was not a secret, and Qiu Yan naturally did not need to hide it from him. In fact, due to being manipulated, Yan Yongjie was in a state of confusion for more than half a year and was unable to obtain any imperial examination information. Half a year ago, he was busy dealing with natural and man-made disasters, traveling around his hometown, and had no time to find out the news about Qiu Yan. Because of this, he knew nothing about it. Now that he suddenly heard about it, it was a huge shock.

It's like a friend who, after not seeing each other for several years, suddenly learns that he is working in the central government, is a huge contrast.

After getting the answer, he immediately felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't dare to call Qiu Yan "good brother" or call himself "brother" anymore, and his words actually became a little reserved.

Qiu Yan was not surprised, he had many experiences, but he didn't like his friend acting like this, so he said: "I remember that Brother Yan is very determined to practice martial arts, and he is not afraid of worldly thoughts. Because of this , After acquiring that skill, I could immediately get out of the barriers. In this case, why do you need to create a prison for your own heart today? "

As soon as he said these words, Yan Yongjie felt a sudden feeling. His whole body's energy and spirit suddenly restrained, two souls were flowing in his body, and the shadow of the third soul was looming.

His changes could not escape Qiu Yan, who was so close at hand. The latter couldn't help but secretly sigh: "Brother Yan's qualifications are really amazing. He has never worshiped the mountain gate, and has never really practiced any magical skills. From the beginning, he relied on With the help of mortal martial arts, the body of flesh and blood has been tempered to the peak of foundation building. After a little exposure to the skills, the whole body was immediately penetrated and advanced. Now, after experiencing hardships, there is a slight gap between the mind and the body, but after listening to my words, Instead, we use this feeling of isolation to make progress again!”

It turned out that Qiu Yan's words of enlightenment fell into Yan Yongjie's ears. It made him feel something in his heart. It happened that his consciousness had not yet fully integrated with his physical body. His body was like a barrier or a cage, which made him feel that it was difficult to escape. However, under a strange combination of circumstances, his perceptions were linked and he felt that he wanted to break through. existing realm. A sign of renewed strength!

However, this was not something that happened overnight. After sensing something, Yan Yongjie did not rush forward, calmed down the fluctuations in his body, and opened his eyes again. He looked at Qiu Yan and said, "It's true that we have seen each other after three days. Brother Xian, with just one sentence, you can clarify the things that I cannot see through."

This time, his whole temperament changed slightly, as if there was something extra. Then he stood up slowly and turned to look at the rickety old man again. His expression turned cold: "In addition, my thoughts have become much clearer. I have thought of some things and have made some guesses about this person's identity."

"Oh? Brother Yan knows his identity?" Qiu Yan already has a certain understanding of the power behind this old man. This can be seen from the changes in his luck, but he does not know his specific name. Very understanding.

Yan Yongjie nodded and said, "Yes, when this man first roped me in, he said some things that sounded familiar to me. In the past six months or so, he has further revealed what he asked me to do. , this person may be related to the Tiangang Disha in the Qilu land, and judging from his appearance, he is also the same as the old man seeking Gu in the rumors! "

"Jianghu martial arts?" Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, several figures flashed through his mind, and his consciousness was connected to an article, and he nodded secretly.

"Yan Yongjie, I didn't expect you to have some knowledge, hehehe." The rickety old man was frightened before, not knowing how Qiu Yan would deal with him, but then he listened to his words and finally calmed down. Now he heard Yan Yongjie Then he laughed secretly.

However, while laughing, his eyes turned to Qiu Yan, feeling quite fearful in his heart, and at the same time, his thoughts changed even more.

"This Qiu Yan is really a deviant. He got the No. 1 exam, but he is still a monk. He captured me just now. It seems that he did not exert any effort, and he broke through the magical power and witchcraft with ease. This kind of ability, even the leader of the village may not have it. This person..."

Looking at Qiu Yan carefully, an idea came to the old man's mind.

"Identity, status, prestige, cultivation, and the rumors that he is invincible in the grassland, it can be seen that his military strategy is far beyond ordinary people. If he comes to join the stronghold, wouldn't he be better than a hundred people? In this way, he will be defeated. If he catches it, it’s not necessarily a bad thing. I can use my ideas to change him subtly!”

At this time, Qiu Yan raised his eyes and glanced at him, as if he had read through his thoughts, which calmed the old man's thoughts slightly.

"This person's matter is not urgent for the time being," Qiu Yan withdrew his gaze and said to Yan Yongjie, "I still have some things I want to ask him. By the way, in the past two years, I have gained some experience in cultivation, so I might as well talk to Yan Yongjie. Brother, please confirm each other.”

"This is a compliment to me. It's my turn to ask you for advice," Yan Yongjie was self-aware, "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for some years, so it's time to catch up on old times and have a good drink, but after two days, I I still have to return to Yanzhao. After all, my hometown is in trouble and I have to ask. I have been delayed for half a year and I don’t know what’s going on there.”

As he spoke, he glanced at the old man again and said: "This man was caught by my dear brother, so of course it is up to you to deal with him. He is now defenseless and has no power to fight back. Even if he takes revenge, it will not be considered glorious."

After hearing this, the rickety old man breathed a sigh of relief again and continued to think about his plan.

Qiu Yan ignored him and turned to look at the unconscious people around him. These people had not been shaken by Qiu Yan's spiritual consciousness and had not yet regained consciousness.

"They are all people who have been controlled by me in the past six months. Most of them are martial arts people, and there are also Taoist priests. There were two of my brothers, but they were killed when they attacked the caravan." Speaking of this, Yan There was a bit of hatred in Yongjie's eyes, and he changed the topic, "By the way, brother Xian, you are an official now, and it is a little inconvenient to mix with the rest of us, so why not..."

"Brother Yan, don't worry, I have my own plans." Qiu Yan waved his hand, "Actually, I came here with the Meng family's motorcade this time. I will also visit the head of the Meng family later, so that I can take care of Brother Yan." Mention your matters."

"I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate. Don't bring trouble to your virtuous brother." Yan Yongjie frowned when he heard this.

"Brother Yan, if you really commit crimes and kill innocent people, even if you and I have old feelings, I will not do it. But you are not the culprit. You are also the victims. How can I refuse? ?" Qiu Yan said sternly, "What's more, it was actually my original plan to ask the Meng family to sell their favors. Otherwise, they would be so busy and didn't show any sign that they were unwilling to help, which would have offended them. People, causing unnecessary trouble.”

Yan Yongjie was not responsible for dealing with people in the officialdom. Seeing that he could not persuade Qiu Yan and that the other party also had his own opinion, he stopped talking.

Not long after, two servants of the Meng family came over to investigate. Although Qiu Yan had ordered them not to wait outside before entering the forest, Meng Ting and others could not afford to be indifferent if something happened. Or let people come in and spread out the search.

However, this time Qiu Yan entered the forest and engaged in a fight, and the incident was settled in just a few breaths. By the time the servants came to find him, the dust had already fallen to the ground. What they saw was Qiu Yan talking to Yan Yongjie, and the rickety old man. Watching the scene standing aside, he turned his eyes and found many unconscious people around him.

"You're here just in time." Qiu Yan saw the person coming and waved, "Let Meng Wei and the others come over, and he and Qiu will bring these people with them."

………………

"Those people in the car are the same group of thieves who attacked my Meng family's motorcade?"

On the way, Meng Wei was still confirming this matter repeatedly.

At this moment, he and Qiu Yan were both riding horses, and the carriage was given to the unconscious people to load them.

"They are not thieves, they are also being held hostage. Brother, didn't Mr. Qiu make this clear?" Meng Ting pulled the reins and drove his horse closer, "You still sound like a thief. The young masters and ladies heard it and wondered what kind of fuss they were going to make."

"Yes, yes, I was negligent." Meng Wei quickly changed his words.

When Qiu Yan heard this, he just smiled and said nothing. Yan Yongjie, who was following him, also showed no signs of strangeness. In the distance, the outline of a city was already in sight. It was the land of Sanjin and the important town in the north of Hedong Road. state.

Daizhou is the seat of Daizhou Prefecture. It is located on the border, but it is not barren because of it. On the contrary, it is very prosperous due to the relationship between merchants in the past. It is so far away that people come and go on the official road, which is very lively.

"Four years ago, I came to Daizhou once. At that time, Daizhou was even more prosperous than it is now." Looking at the passers-by on the road, Yan Yongjie also sighed with emotion, showing a look of reminiscence. He was seeking immortality, and when It's such a painstaking effort.

Qiu Yan knew this, and at the same time he had started to combine some exercises and tailor them for Yan Yongjie. After all, the "New World Insights" given by Yan Yongjie was of great help to him. , this drop of kindness must be repaid with a spring.

After thinking about it, the crowd in front suddenly made a noise, and then smoke and dust rose up - but a group of people walked out of the city in a mighty manner and rushed towards Qiu Yan's convoy.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Yan had already anticipated what was going to happen next.

Sure enough, the team came to Qiu Yan and his team and stopped immediately. A handsome young man walked out of the team. He was dressed in straight clothes and had a handsome face. His eyes swept over everyone.

Meng Wei, Meng Ting and others immediately dismounted and were about to salute, but they heard the young master laugh and say: "Second brother Ting, fourth brother Wei, why are you so polite? Why don't you introduce Qiu Xiuzan to me quickly? I'm eager to see you in the city. Ah!" As he spoke, he cast his eager eyes on the people who had not dismounted, and finally stopped at Qiu Yan, his eyes brightening.

Qiu Yan has experienced many things and has a temperament that is different from ordinary people.
