"Oh? The general won't let me tell you, who is his ancestor in the martial arts world?"
Lin Yuxing and the others looked at each other, then looked at Li Yan, who did not seem to be pretending, and they felt reluctant to continue asking questions.
"Haha, this little brother is really interesting. I'm Shi Ning, and this is my wife Huang Sanniang. I hope we can get along well with each other in the future!"
For a moment, there was a brief calm in the hall. Li Yan only said two words, and the atmosphere here became a little cold.
At this time, the purple-faced man who was as strong as a bear or leopard and sitting at the top of Li Yan's side couldn't help but smile. Although he looked rough, the words he said were very warm, making people feel like spring breeze.
He also bowed to Li Yan, then pointed at the plump woman beside him and said with a smile.
"So this is the virtuous couple, long suppressed, long suppressed!"
Li Yan also hurriedly returned the greeting. Although he said this, he had no idea who the other person was.
"It seems that this couple should be quite famous in the martial arts world!"
Li Yan just saw what Lian Pinghai and those people were thinking, which was that they were all doubtful about their so-called first-class realm.
I think someone will come to me sometime soon to exchange martial arts skills with me.
The Lakers are competitive by nature. If you don't have any fame, people won't care who you are. When they see someone suddenly appear and can be on equal footing with them, they will certainly weigh their strengths.
Li Yan simply brought Cui Feng out, making people think that he was just taking advantage of the power of others. Cui Feng wouldn't say anything about this anyway.
At this moment, footsteps were heard from far away at the entrance of the hall. Everyone knew that it must be Duke Cui who had arrived, so they all kept silent.
It was obvious that except for the Shi Ning couple who were still smiling, the eyes of the others when they passed by Li Yan became much colder, and this was exactly what Li Yan wanted.
Soon, three figures appeared among the crowd at the entrance of the hall, led by Cui Feng, a burly man with white hair and beard.
Behind him were a man and a woman, both of them looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, with the youthfulness and immaturity still residing on their faces.
The young man was a chubby little boy dressed in gorgeous clothes. As soon as he entered the room, his eyes looked around, looking very shrewd.
The girl's pink face still retained a hint of baby fat. She was wearing a light yellow dress and her hair was combed into two ring-shaped buns with two light green flower ropes. She looked very cute and innocent.
Her pair of bright eyes kept looking at the people in the hall.
The eyes of these two young men and women were basically on Li Yan and the other four. They just glanced at Lin Yuxing and the other four, and then hurried past, looking like they were already familiar with them.
Cui Feng had a dignified look on his face, maintaining his usual serious and solemn expression, and walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger.
As soon as they entered the hall, Lin Yuxing and others stood up, and Li Yan and the other four also stood up and saluted.
Cui Feng just nodded slightly to the people in the hall, and his eyes only lingered on Li Yan for a moment before he walked upwards, showing no special attitude towards Li Yan.
After Cui Feng sat down, the boy and girl randomly found two chairs on the side and sat down as well, without saying a word.
Cui Feng glanced around with his tiger eyes, then spoke slowly.
"Everyone, it is a fate for you to be able to work for Cui in the mansion. As long as you work hard, Cui is not a stingy person. You will get what you deserve.
Because of his dedicated work and the safety of the mansion, Cui's reward was no less than that of other mansions.
However, Cui must be frank in advance. There are rewards and punishments. This goes without saying for the elderly people in the mansion. They have followed me for many years and know my principles in doing things.
But the new security coach must know that Cui does not like to procrastinate, and even less does he like to disobey orders. Obeying orders and disobeying discipline is the most basic requirement.
Otherwise, if nothing goes wrong, please go back where you came from; if something goes wrong, you will have to bear the consequences yourself!"
When Cui Feng said this, he glanced at Li Yan and the others. He did not mention his official title, but just called himself Cui.
Lian Pinghai and the others knew in their hearts that Duke Cui simply disdained to use his power to oppress others, and instead wanted to explain the power relationship between the two parties based on the normal employment relationship in the underworld.
Otherwise, in this dynasty, apart from the current emperor, the person in front of him would truly be the one with the greatest power and influence in the country.
No matter how powerful your martial arts skills are or how strong your sect is, can you defeat a million-strong army? Cui Feng only needs to wave his hand, and no matter what kind of martial arts sect you are, it will be reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
"We will do our best!"
Bian Pinghai and Shi Ning and his wife quickly stood up again, and Li Yan also stood up respectfully to agree.
Cui Feng gestured for them to sit down, and his tone softened.
“You are all great people in the martial arts world. Cui will not interfere in your daily life. Just follow Yisheng’s arrangements.
Of course, Yisheng is only arranging your duties. As for what methods to use, it is up to you to use your strengths. No one else will interfere.
Some of you may not be familiar with each other here, so let me briefly introduce you..."
Soon, Li Yan knew the identities of several people in the hall.
In addition to Lian Pinghai, Lin Yuxing and Song Duan, the skinny old man beside Song Duan is named Bao Feiyu, known as "Flying Ape Picking Stars" in the Jianghu. He is a master of the "Shenyuan Sect" with strange and unpredictable light skills. From his restrained aura, Li Yan knew that Bao Feiyu was very good at assassination and was a headache-inducing assassin like the shadow assassin.
Cui Feng's other two subordinates, one male and one female, also have extraordinary martial arts skills and are also first-rate strongmen.
The man was a wealthy old man who looked like a businessman. He had a kind face and a pair of small eyes that always seemed to be smiling. Anyone who saw him would think he was extremely kind.
But those who know him know that he is the most difficult to deal with among these people, and he is more scheming than Lin Yuxing.
He was a general who once managed food supplies for Cui Feng. His name was Tong Buyou, and people in the martial arts world called him "Never Flow". The implication was that once something passed through his hands, it was almost impossible for it to flow out again.
The other woman was an old lady, wearing a loose black robe. Her face was full of wrinkles and she looked gloomy. She rarely spoke and kept her hands clasped in her sleeves.
The old woman's name was Huang Ruiying, and people nicknamed her "The Twin Devils of Eagle Mountain".
When Li Yan first heard the name, he was a little surprised. These were clearly the nicknames of two people, which meant there was another person.
He initially thought that another person had gone out to do some business, but later he found out that Huang Ruiying was a gangster tycoon on the northern border of the dynasty.
She and her husband built a mountain stronghold in a place called "Yingfeijian", and gathered many refugees and gangsters to gather in the mountains, often robbing passing merchants.
Although they also kill people, generally speaking, as long as the merchants are willing to hand over their property, they will let them go. This is considered very principled in the underworld.
Since they chose to locate their stronghold in the territory of the Mu Kingdom, a major enemy of the dynasty in the north, this eventually aroused the dissatisfaction of the Mu Kingdom, and the local government sent a large army to suppress it.
However, the terrain of "Eagle Flying Stream" is dangerous, and the "Eagle Mountain Twins" are extremely powerful in martial arts, so even after sending troops again and again, they were unable to wipe out the bandits, and many soldiers died as a result.
This finally angered the Mu Kingdom's court, which sent General Xianyu Beifeng with 60,000 men, equipped with powerful weapons such as giant crossbows that could break through cities, to suppress the rebellion.
With such heavy troops and powerful siege weapons, Huang Ruiying's stronghold was quickly destroyed like a torpedo, and in the end less than fifty people escaped.
In that fierce battle, her husband also died at the hands of Xiandi Beifeng. After Huang Ruiying recovered from her injuries, she led people to assassinate Xiandi Beifeng repeatedly to avenge her husband and brother.
Unfortunately, Xian Yu Beifeng has been in the military camp all year round. Not only is the place heavily guarded, but his martial arts have reached perfection, and he is also one of the rare top-notch masters in the world.
Huang Ruiying organized people to assassinate her four times, but not only did she fail, her remaining elite masters were almost all killed or injured, and she herself was seriously injured twice and nearly lost her life.
From this we can also see that Huang Ruiying is very strong and brave, and can move freely in the midst of thousands of troops.
After several failed assassination attempts, she realized that she could not kill Xian Yu Beifeng on her own, and she gradually became depressed and even a little crazy.
Later, they even wanted to attack the capital of Mu Kingdom and capture the emperor in exchange for Xianyu Beifeng's life, but they were persuaded to give up by the few remaining subordinates.
Afterwards, she heard that the imperial army was stationed in the northern border to fight against the Mu Kingdom, and that Cui Feng was the commander of the three armies. After much deliberation, she took the few remaining people to join Cui Feng, and began to serve Cui Feng from then on.
He wanted to kill Xianyu Beifeng in a head-on confrontation, but even so, how easy was it to kill a general of a country
In an ordinary battle, unless one side is completely defeated, Xian Yu Bei Feng will not be hurt at all.
Trying to use military operations to launch an assassination attack is as difficult as it is for the enemy countries to kill Cui Feng.
In the enemy's hinterland, the opponent is a top-notch powerful warrior. Unless you kill him with one blow, there will be no second chance.
Even now Xianyu Beifeng is still alive. Cui Feng knows her thoughts very well and has challenged her to a duel several times according to the rules of martial arts, but in the end the other party did not respond.
This made Cui Feng helpless. The other party ignored the damage to his reputation and turned a blind eye to the challenge.
In addition, the Shi Ning couple were also very famous in the martial arts world, known as "Liu Yun Fei Xing", and they were the owners of a mountain villa in their early years.
He once dominated the world of martial arts, gathered heroes from all directions, ate big chunks of meat, drank big bowls of wine, and exchanged martial arts. He was quite free and easy.
But one day, the villa suddenly suffered a disaster and was burned down, causing countless deaths and injuries.
The couple has disappeared since then and has not been seen in the world for more than ten years. Unexpectedly, when the Duke's Mansion hired a security coach this time, the two of them actually showed up here.
After Cui Feng introduced these people, he looked at Li Yan again.
"Zhang Ming is the descendant of an old friend of mine, a newly promoted young warrior. His martial arts may still be a little behind yours, but he is already a top master among the younger generation. I hope you can get close to him in the future!"
Cui Feng's intention of introducing these people was actually to tell Li Yan. He certainly knew how powerful his own marshal was. He was no match for Li Yan, let alone these people in front of him.
He did not look for Li Yan these days. He was also thinking carefully about Li Yan's words and actions that day, and finally felt that there was no flaw.
Especially the martial arts that I saw Li Yan that day, which could absolutely not be faked. How many people in this world could wield that big spear so easily like the wind
Although he had not fought with Li Yan again, he felt that the other party's skills were even more unfathomable than decades ago.
Cui Feng felt that once Li Yan used weapons, he might not be able to last even fifty rounds. He himself had already reached the pinnacle of martial arts, and he asked himself how many people in this world could compete with him.
Cui Feng gave such a brief introduction to Li Yan that his words made everyone else understand his partiality for Zhang Ming and his love for his talent.
Especially the boy and girl sitting at the bottom, their eyes looked at Li Yan over and over again.
