Chapter 524: Capture the King First

"You can, just wait and see." Xiao Yan stood up, brushed off the non-existent dust on his body, and looked calm.

"Xiao Yan, don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you're so brave. Don't forget, you still have family!"

It was naked intimidation, without any disguise.

"Really?" Xiao Yan smiled slightly, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone in the room. "You, and all of you, remember this: if you harm my wife and daughter, I, Xiao Yan, will repay you a hundredfold, and the fight will not end until you are dead."

After saying that, Xiao Yan no longer looked at Hai Ye, whose face was ashen. He turned around and walked out of the hall with steady steps.

His back is as tall and straight as a lone pine on the edge of a cliff, with an air of loneliness and strength that looks down upon everything.

"You ungrateful thing!" Hai Ye roared.

But in the end, he didn't dare to do it.

After all, they were afraid of Xiao Yan's reputation.

After returning, Lu Qiniang was still surprised: "Why did you come back so soon?"

Xiao Yan smiled and said, "I'm hungry. Is there any leftovers?"

"Didn't you go to the banquet? Why didn't you cook?"

She asked as she stood up and went to the kitchen to make him something to eat.

"There's no good feast. I didn't touch anything that came in there."

"This is a great banquet." Lu Qiniang smiled and held his hand. "Come on, let's go to the kitchen and see what I'll make for you."

Xiao Yan's heart seemed to leap with joy.

He squeezed her hand back firmly.

After "finishing work" at night, Lu Qiniang closed her eyes in a daze and heard the sound of Xiao Yan rummaging through things.

"I washed your undershirt during the day, but it's still not dry." Lu Qiniang didn't open her eyes. "There's a new one in the wicker box at the eastern end of the wall."

"Okay, go to sleep."

Lu Qiniang turned over and went to see Zhou Gong.

Xiao Yan took his sword and quietly went out.

The next morning, when Lu Qiniang got up, she saw Xiao Yan and San Ya riding out on horseback.

"You two should come back early, don't come home until noon. I have to leave some food for you!" Lu Qiniang shouted.

"I know!" Sanya's crisp voice came from horseback, "Wait for Dad and I to come back with the prey!"

Arya came out of her room, combing her hair with her hands while yawning and said, "I think she's getting wilder and wilder."

"We didn't restrict her in the capital before, let alone now. Let her play." Lu Qiniang said.

Erya quickly put her hair up and said as she walked out, "I'll go take a look on the boat first."

"Hey, come back." Lu Qiniang pulled her back and straightened her clothes. "Why are you so rough now? You don't even comb your hair properly."

"It's okay." Erya waved her hand. "Business is more important. Mother, if you come back late, don't leave me any food. I'll just eat anything."

After saying that, she left in a hurry.

Yes, she used to care a lot about her image.

I still love beauty now, but I am more dedicated to my career.

People's mental state and pursuits actually change constantly as they grow.

Those things that you are particularly sensitive and concerned about are actually missing.

I got it, but that's all.

Moreover, what is more important in her life now is a sense of self-acquisition and accomplishment.

The opinions of others become insignificant.

A'tai came out holding Shiniu.

Shi Niu, who was already over eight months old, stretched out her hand when she saw Lu Qinniang, babbling anxiously.

Lu Qiniang smiled and said, "Poor little thing."

She has been too busy recently and has not had much milk. Atai said that Shi Niu was growing up, so she stopped breastfeeding her.

The little thing looks so pitiful as it craves milk.

"I'll make you some steamed egg custard later." Lu Qiniang said with a smile, then asked A'tai, "Where's Shitou? Did he go to check on his crops so early in the morning?"

"Yeah." Ati smiled.

Shitou is a man of few words, but he works diligently and steadily.

As they were talking, Shi Tou came running back in a panic.

"What's wrong?" Lu Qinniang's heart sank when she saw this.

Could it be that someone from the trading company is causing trouble?

Xiao Yan had just had a falling out with Hai Ye yesterday. I guess Hai Ye had been thinking about it all night and couldn't stand it anymore?

Xiao Yan and San Ya!

"I, how did I hear?" Shitou said in disbelief. "How did I hear that Master Hai was dead?"

"ah?"

Lu Qiniang was stunned.

After thinking about it all night, I couldn't stand it anymore and was so angry that I died?

No way.

"Why did he die?"

"They said he was killed."

"Internal strife!" Lu Qiniang said, "Then we are lucky."

Take advantage of their internal strife to quickly develop and strengthen yourself.

Because the legend of the Qiongya Merchants bullying and dominating the market was spread everywhere in Qiongzhou, Lu Qiniang subconsciously thought they were very powerful.

It is a more reasonable assumption that he died at the hands of his own people due to internal chaos.

"No, say, he was assassinated by an outsider." Shi Tou stuttered, looking at Lu Qiniang with inquiring eyes.

Lu Qiniang: "Why are you looking at me? I still have the ability to kill people!"

After she finished speaking, she reacted and waved her hand, saying, "It has nothing to do with Xiao Yan, and it has nothing to do with us."

She and Xiao Yan worked for most of the night last night.

It couldn't be that Xiao Yan sneaked out in the middle of the night and killed someone.

ah!

How is that impossible?

Lu Qiniang covered her mouth.

This possibility is too great.

Her stomach couldn't hold two ounces of sesame oil, so she wanted to talk to Xiao Yan about something.

But Xiao Yan - his stomach can hold a dog.

If something happens, he can really hold it in!

So, Lu Qin's mother lost interest in cooking and stood at the door waiting for Xiao Yan to come back.

She stood on tiptoe to look at the intersection, then paced back and forth impatiently.

After waiting for a long time, the father and son finally appeared.

Xiao Yan rode on Wangyun, San Ya rode on a white horse, raised her arms high, and wrapped around them was a colorful giant snake as thick as her arm!

The big snake was obviously dead, its head drooping limply.

But this is also scary!

The corners of Lu Qiniang's mouth twitched.

This girl is getting bolder and bolder.

As soon as the horse stopped at the courtyard gate, San Ya couldn't wait to slide off the horse and rushed to Lu Qi's mother, holding the still-dangling snake. Her face flushed with excitement. "Mom, look, look! Dad shot it dead with one arrow. Let's make snake soup for lunch. I heard it's delicious!"

Lu Qi Niang looked at the ferocious snake head and said angrily: "Just wait, I will stew you in a while!"

San Ya laughed and said, "I'll clean it up, you don't have to do it."

"Put it down and don't move. What if it's poisonous?"

As he was speaking, Xiao Yan also dismounted and walked over with a smile.

Lu Qiniang couldn't wait to pull him into the room and asked in a low voice, "Did you know that Master Hai is dead?"

Xiao Yan hummed lightly.

He thought it was a big deal!

"Who did it? It has nothing to do with you."

"I did it." He replied calmly.

Lu Qiniang: "...How can you be so bold! Aren't you afraid that they will retaliate against us after they find out?"

Killing the other person's boss directly, wouldn't the hatred be increased immediately?

"Catch the leader first." Xiao Yan said, "Don't worry, I have everything under control."
