My apprentice is a little weird?

Jiang Yan coughed lightly, then put the wine to his lips and took another sip, but the gourd was empty without a drop of wine.

"Huh? No more wine again."

Jiang Yan frowned slightly, his thoughts wandering.

"It's been three years, and I don't know if the Drunken Immortal Wine I hid back then is still good."

When Jiang Yan thought of the carefully blended three-year-old Drunken Immortal Wine, he couldn't help smacking his lips, and then shook his head gently.

"Why am I so excited? The wine might have been stolen by my junior brothers and sisters... Sigh~ I worked hard for a year or two, but in the end, there is nothing left. What a miserable life~"

Jiang Yan sighed softly and stopped thinking about this sad thing.

Just at this moment the team started to move, Jiang Yan stood up and followed the group.

Behind him, the girl who was smiling before kept her eyes on Jiang Yan.

Only after he left did she withdraw her gaze.

“What a strange person”

Her two guards leaned in and whispered, "Miss, the snow has been too deep recently. Should we stay in Lianshan City for a few more days?"

The girl looked at Jiang Yan's back and nodded.

"Okay, there's plenty of time anyway, there's no need to rush."

………………

"Hiss~ It's so cold!"

"That's right. The weather this year is really cold, much colder than in previous years."

"Hey, in previous years when it wasn't cold there weren't many people coming into the city, but why are there so many people this year? Is there something big going on?"

"You don't know this?"

A man dressed like a peddler looked around and whispered to the person next to him:

"The Li family of Lianshan City is about to fall~"

"The Li family? They are the ones that own half of Lianshan City's industries and have long suppressed the Wu and Xu families? How did they fall?"

"I don't know about that. It is said that the Li family couple and their son contracted a serious illness and died. Even the only surviving little daughter was also seriously ill. It is estimated that it happened in the past three days."

"Lianshan City is so lively this year~"

The peddler's words drew boos from the people around him, who lamented the Li family's former glory and current decline.

Jiang Yan listened to the noisy sounds around him without paying much attention. He waited in line leisurely, yawning from time to time, looking drowsy.

I don't know how long it took, but a cold scolding sounded.

"Are you awake? If you're not awake, just go back to sleep."

Jiang Yan opened his eyelids slightly, looked at the officers and soldiers with serious expressions, and spoke softly.

"Oh"

After saying that, he walked straight into the city.

This operation made him a little confused, and also stunned the people following him.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? Stop right there! You want to go in before you pay?"

"Pay the money! The city tax is eighty cents!"

The burly soldier quickly stopped Jiang Yan with a ferocious expression.

This was the first time he had met someone who dared to pass the Overlord Pass in all his years of service. In addition, he was displeased with him, so he asked for four times the money.

Jiang Yan was stopped and asked for a sky-high price, but he was not annoyed. His expression did not change much and he looked lazy.

He casually reached into his sleeve and felt around, but suddenly stopped.

"Tsk, my storage bag and clothes were all stripped off... I forgot about that."

The officers and soldiers couldn't help but curl their lips when they saw this, and raised their eyebrows as if they saw Jiang Yan's embarrassment.

This man is so poor that he doesn't even have a decent piece of clothing. I don't think he can afford the money.

"If you don't have money, go save it. Don't waste your time here. Next one!"

"I actually..."

"What do you mean? If you have money, take it. If you don't have money, get out! Don't waste your time here."

The scarred soldier next to the burly soldier spoke coldly. "Don't explain to people like this anymore. If they don't have money, just let them go. If you are nice to them, they will treat you as a pushover."

"This kind of person is a jerk!"

The soldier said this very loudly, as if he was deliberately trying to provoke Jiang Yan.

However, Jiang Yan disappointed him.

He just yawned out of boredom, his eyes half open as if he had not gotten enough sleep. He didn't care about his tone at all, and even didn't take them seriously. The officers and soldiers who saw this felt like they couldn't help but beat him up.

"Open your eyes and speak..."

The scarred soldier couldn't help himself and was about to step forward, but he heard a delicate rebuke coming from behind.

"Even the officers and soldiers in Lianshan City are so rude!"

Jiang Yan tilted his head slightly, opened his lazy eyes a little and glanced towards the source of the voice, and saw the girl who had teased him before standing behind him angrily.

The girl was wearing a snow wolf fur coat, a snow fox hat, and a green silk cotton coat underneath. Her chubby little face was red from the cold wind, and her pure black eyes were staring at this side angrily, which was very cute.

She was followed by two middle-aged guards.

"Whose doll are you from?"

The scarred soldier looked them up and down, narrowed his eyes slightly and snorted.

The guards beside the girl stepped forward to ease the atmosphere without waiting for her to speak.

"Please don't blame me, sir. We are just children and don't know what to do. We are here to visit relatives in the city. We are sorry for offending you."

"This is the city tax. Please be lenient, sir."

As he spoke, one of the guards smiled and took out three hundred coins and handed them to him.

Seeing so much money and the man's vigorous blood and energy, the scarred soldier knew that they were masters, so he didn't care about it anymore. He took the copper coins, snorted, and ignored them.

Then he looked at Jiang Yan again.

"They can go, but as for you, if you don't have money, get out of here!"

Jiang Yan shook his head. This was indeed reality.

"Humph, a bunch of money-hungry snobs."

A soft voice sounded, and then a silver ingot flew straight past Jiang Yan and hit the officer's face.

When he saw a silver ingot flying towards him, his eyes were fixed on it and he stretched out his hand to catch it.

However, the other hand got there before them, grabbed the silver ingot first, and threw out eighty copper coins.

The copper coins fluttered in the air, falling one by one, mixed with the snowflakes in the air, and landed steadily on the scarred soldier's head, arranged vertically without any error.

Even after all the copper coins fell, the man still hadn't reacted and just stared at Jiang Yan in a daze.

"Tsk... this is almost two taels of silver, how generous!"

Jiang Yan spoke calmly, ignoring the horrified looks of the people around him, he walked leisurely past the crowd into the city, and threw it back casually.

The silver ingot drew a graceful arc in the air and fell back into the little girl's hands.

At the end, Jiang Yan turned around and winked at the girl mischievously.

"The little girl is so cute, thank you~"

The little girl stared blankly at Jiang Yan's back, blinked her big dark eyes, and when she reacted her face turned red and she shouted.

"You are so cute!"

After saying that, she trotted after Jiang Yan, and the two guards beside her also hurriedly chased after them. The three of them entered the city and disappeared.

The soldier with the copper coins on his head reacted at this time. The copper coins fell to the ground, his expression changed, and he looked angry. He turned around and was about to intercept Jiang Yan.

But he was stopped in time by the knife-wielding soldiers who had been watching the show silently.

"What are you doing? Can't you see that he is obviously an expert?"

"Calm down!"

The soldier who held the copper coin also calmed down, realizing that he had been reckless.

"Sorry, bro. I just felt a little angry for some reason."

"It's okay~"

The knife-wielding soldier narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the direction where the little girl ran with a pair of fierce eyes, and said faintly with a smile on his face:

"We don't make money by blocking the road~"

.........

The girl chased after Jiang Yan's back, weaving in and out among the bustling vendors, her eyes fixed on Jiang Yan.

Because she ran so fast, she didn't even notice that the distance between her and the guards was gradually increasing...

The girl ran in the busy and crowded street, her eyes fixed on Jiang Yan. However, no matter how hard she focused, Jiang Yan's back became fainter and less clear, which made her more and more anxious.

In the end, she was left standing alone in the busy street, feeling lost and at a loss.

A sense of loss suddenly welled up in her heart, making her stop.

"What are you chasing after me for?"

"what!"

A gentle voice appeared beside the girl, which startled her. He threw a punch with his backhand, and it hit her side with a sound of breaking through the air!

"What a strong force! The little girl has been practicing martial arts since she was young, so her physique is pretty good~ But if she practices martial arts at such a young age, be careful not to grow tall in the future."
