Thinking of this, Xu Yan quickly stood up and asked his eldest disciple Liu Yinglong to bring the gift, which was the two jars of silver that the head of the Sixth Family had just sent.

Invite him yourself!

In the yard, the sun was just shining on the water in the well. Chen Yu was still sleeping upstairs when he suddenly heard the horse neighing.

It turned out that the owner asked Ta Mei to look after the house and call him if there was anything.

Xu Yan and his disciples stood outside the door for a moment before Chen Yu came over to open the door.

He scanned the courtyard with his spiritual sense and could see who was coming. The jade bottle was previously placed in the courtyard by Chen Yu to bask in the sun, and now it was also put into the space.

Xu Yan bowed and said, "I am sorry for coming to your house. I have something urgent to discuss with you, Mr. Chen."

"No problem, come in and tell me what you want."

Liu Yinglong was seen holding two large jars and about to enter.

"What is this?" Although Chen Yu could tell what was inside at a glance, he asked even though he knew the answer.

Xu Yan was very straightforward: "This is the silver that six wealthy families gave me, inviting me to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits.

Gold and silver are just my possessions. I feel that I am not up to the task and would like to ask Mr. Chen for help.

I can handle it, so don't bother Mr. Chen. If I can't, please help me. You can take the silver."

"Oh?" Chen Yu couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "To Master Xu, this silver is just a thing outside of his body. Does Master Xu think that this silver is very important to me, Chen Yu?"

Xu Yan sighed instead: "How could these six big families not know that money is of little use to me. But if I don't accept it, they won't feel at ease.

If Mr. Chen doesn’t accept it now, I won’t feel at ease.”

"Then why do you think I will definitely help you?"

"As a warrior, all he wants to do is to be clear-minded. I'm sure Mr. Chen doesn't want to see the people of the town suffer while the thieves are at large."

"I have my own way with the bandits. I won't go there for money, nor will I go there because the six families ask me to.

I just go when I want to.”

Xu Yan returned empty-handed, and Liu Yinglong moved the hundreds of pounds of things around, looking quite indignant.

"Why did Master come to ask for help from Chen Yu? He is inferior to him for no reason.

The corners of his mouth are hairless, and he is not reliable. I think he must have used some shameful means that day. Otherwise, how could he do what the master couldn't do?

Now that Qianjin has asked him to fight the bandits, he refuses to go, is caught between a rock and a hard place, and seems to be just a boaster."

Xu Yan asked sternly, "Who taught you to talk about people behind their backs? Why didn't Mr. Chen question him in person just now, but is now gossiping in front of me?"

Liu Yinglong hesitated and didn't dare to speak. Xu Yan sighed and said, "You said he was using a trick, why don't you try it and see.

You have also seen the handprint on the door of the martial arts hall. Ask yourself if you can do it? If you can't do it, why don't you just admit that you are not as skilled as others?

You are arrogant and short-sighted, this is the most important reason why you have not been able to advance to a warrior. "

Liu Yinglong was scolded by his master, and Chen Yu was enjoying the morning sunshine in the yard.

Although it was annoying to be woken up, there didn't seem to be anything wrong with them coming in the morning.

The crown of the jujube tree is still too small, and it lacks that towering atmosphere.

Chen Yu thought about planting a grape tree next to the well in the future and putting the rack on the left side of the courtyard wall.

As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will be shrouded in the shadow of grape vines, which creates a secluded atmosphere!

As he was thinking, Chen Yu fell asleep on the chair.

He had already taken the jade bottle out of the space and continued to absorb the sunlight.

The rooster was chasing the clucking hens around the yard, the duck was lying in the side room with its eyes squinting, and the plum blossoms were still greedily eating the leaves on the jujube tree.

Everyone outside the yard is busy with their own affairs, but it has nothing to do with the people and things in the yard.

Chen Yu did not make any comment, but Xu Yan and the six major families could not put the rescue matter aside.

The bandit only said that he came to the mountain with silver to redeem the person, but he didn't even mention the specific place.

Fengqi Mountain is more than 600 miles long and several dozen miles wide, and is much larger than Baimu Town.

More than 200 people from six families, including students from Chengyi Martial Arts School, were scattered in the mountains to conduct a careful search while also guarding against sudden attacks by bandits.

Xu Yan also took part in the battle personally, leading a dozen disciples to check all the paths in the mountains.

After a whole day, they finally discovered that the bandits had been waiting for them in the valley in the north of Fengqi Mountain for a long time.

The bandit leader was a bald man with a ferocious look, which fits people's imagination of bandits.

Xu Yan knew him. After all, they had met each other when the six major families first organized forces to suppress bandits.

This unknown wild valley was the second lair chosen by the bald man. Although it was not as easy to defend as before, Zhang Chongke was no longer the same as before.

The leader looked down at Xu Yan from the mountain stronghold and licked his lips.

He was originally from Heyin County, and his family had made a living by trading horses for generations.

A few years ago, he accidentally offended a big family in the county town and had to become bandits with his brothers.

That family was quite powerful, and there were two post-natal warriors in the family. Zhang Chongke was still worried about his escape, so he crossed the Jishui River and settled down in Fengqi Mountain.

As someone who also learned martial arts, he knew that Xu Yan should not be provoked, so he had been very cautious in the past few years.

Of course, he also thought about leaving and not getting into trouble with this acquired warrior.

But the emperor was getting old, and many provinces and counties were in turmoil. He saw a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope to get something out of the troubled times.

In the past two years, there has been a severe drought in more than a dozen counties in the northern border, and there is little grain produced in the fields. He led his men and recruited many refugees.

It is not easy for refugees to form fighting capacity. People who have been tested by hunger are tougher and more docile than anyone else.

At one time, he led hundreds of refugees to attack villages. Those who survived began to unleash their beastly desires and committed all kinds of evil with them. Those who did not survive were naturally eaten by wild beasts.

His team grew larger and larger, and now there were nearly two hundred people following him to beg for food.

He believed that the large tracts of fertile farmland in Baimu Town that could produce crops regardless of drought or flood was a rare foundation bestowed upon him by God.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the two figures behind him.

In troubled times, power is everything! He was naturally not naive enough to think that he, who had just broken through, would be Xu Yan's opponent.

But the two new recruits gave him this confidence.

These two post-natal masters also offended others. The difference was that they had just achieved post-natal status at that time, and after offending someone, they first wiped out the other party's entire family.

If that family knew that the two were already acquired warriors, they would not dare to provoke them even if they were given ten times the courage.

The reason he joined Zhang Chongke's den of thieves is because he is wanted by the government and has no place to stay.

The two had lived and died together, and had broken through together to kill their enemies. Their friendship was much deeper than that between them and the bandit leader Zhang Chongke.

They also wanted to seize power, but acquired warriors were just mortals and could not stop the two hundred bandits under Zhang Chongke, so they had to submit to him.

Zhang Chongke was full of confidence. Even though Chen Yu, a post-natal warrior, had joined Baimu Town, it was three to two, and the advantage was clearly on my side!
