Martial arts mastery? But I'm just a spoiled brat!

No matter what, Yan Yanyan is Yan Fengqi's cousin, so she wouldn't really go abroad to study alone; she would always have someone protecting her in secret.

Now that Yan Yanyan is back, her protectors have also returned. So, if they want to know information about Wu Hong, they should know something from those who are secretly protecting him.

"yes!"

Upon hearing the order, Wanxing immediately turned around and went to make the arrangements.

"Aunt, you won't mind if I send someone to investigate your friend, will you?"

After arranging everything and starting the vehicle, Yan Qing looked at Yan Yanyan sitting beside him.

Yan Yanyan looked at Yan Qing, who had changed a lot, gently shook her head, and then said:

"I understand. You've changed so much. It seems you've grown a lot while I was away."

People always change...

Yan Qing simply replied with one sentence, and then changed the subject:

"Did you eat on the way? I had someone specially order your favorite Eight Treasures Soup. You should be able to eat it when you get home."

"Really? You're the best, Xiaoqing! I've been craving this for so long while I've been away. By the way, did you buy the lamb buns?"

When food is mentioned, Yan Yanyan's eyes light up, and she forgets everything else.

"Yes, we have mutton buns, crispy duck, and braised pork."

"Drive faster! Drive faster!!"

At this moment, Yan Yanyan didn't care about anything else and patted the back of the driver's seat, urging him on repeatedly.

As soon as the car stopped at the main courtyard of the Yan family, Yan Yanyan eagerly lifted her skirt and tried to get out.

But before she could even enter the gate, she was stopped by someone.

"My cousin!!!"

Standing at the entrance of the Yan family's main courtyard was Yan Xuan, dressed in military uniform and wearing a military cap, smiling as he watched the two people get out of the car.

"Xiao Xuan, long time no see! You've gained quite a bit of weight, but you look really smart in your military uniform."

Although Yan Yanyan was in a hurry to eat her big meal, Yan Xuan was still her cousin no matter what, so even though she and Yan Xuan weren't that close, she stopped to greet him.

However, his attitude was much worse than when he was facing Yan Qing, and the most important reason for this was naturally Yan Xuan's mother, Xu Tinglan. That woman spoke in a sarcastic and unpleasant way and often said some unpleasant things.

"Girls are going to get married anyway, why bother studying so much..." "Girls shouldn't be running around like crazy girls all day..."

As a son, Yan Xuan was also greatly influenced by his mother, so naturally, Yan Yanyan did not have a good impression of the mother and son.

"Um!"

Yan Xuan subconsciously pulled in his stomach, then spoke with a serious expression:

"I'm too busy right now, I need to go to the military camp to inspect the troops, so I can't accompany my aunt. Anyway, my third brother is free, so he can keep her company. I'll host a banquet for her another day when I'm free!"

As he said this, he straightened his military cap, trying to make himself look more dignified.

But when he saw the Chevrolet behind the two of them, his face twitched involuntarily.

"Hmm... then you go ahead and get busy."

Yan Yanyan nodded, then watched Yan Xuan leave.

"Xiaoqing, is your second brother now in charge of the army?"

Only after Yan Xuan left did Yan Yanyan ask the question with a serious expression.

Although Yan Xuan didn't say much just now, his desire to show that he had already taken power was extremely strong. Even though Yan Yanyan had no understanding of the current situation of the Yan family, she could see Yan Xuan's thoughts.

"When my father went south this time, he left 20,000 troops under his command."

Yan Qing didn't hide anything and spoke with an indifferent expression.

"and you……"

Yan Yanyan looked at Yan Qing with some worry, afraid that Yan Qing would suffer a loss.

"That car was specially assigned to me by my father, and all the martial artists are under my command."

Yan Qing didn't explain much, but simply pointed to the black Chevrolet and spoke calmly.

In the entire Shanxi province, there were only about thirty of these cars. Those who could ride in them were either rich or noble. The fact that Yan Qing had his own car was itself a symbol.

Even his second brother, Yan Xuan, although he now has military power, can only travel on horseback. This is the most important reason why Yan Xuan and his mother have felt unbalanced during this period.

"Hehe...that's good. Let's go, I can smell the vinegar."

Sure enough, Yan Yanyan immediately understood the meaning behind Yan Qing's words. Her serious expression vanished, and she became anxious again.

At the dinner table, Yan Yanyan ate heartily, while Yan Qing sat beside her, telling her about some things that had happened in Shanxi Province and her family in the past two years.

Yan Yanyan listened, occasionally pausing to ask a few questions, but most of her questions were related to Yan Qing.

Yan Qing and Yan Yanyan were having a meal, while Wu Hong was talking to someone in a martial arts school in the city.

"You mean to say that Yan Fengqi and Yang Qing, the military commander, are both currently not in Shanxi Province? And that Shanxi Province currently has a maximum of 50,000 troops available?"

Wu Hong sipped his tea, tapping the table with one hand, and asked softly.

"Yes, Master Wu, after Yan Fengqi left, he took most of the army with him, leaving only Zhao Mobai, the director in charge of administrative affairs."

Sitting in front of Wu Hong was a middle-aged martial artist. If Yan Xuan were here, he would immediately recognize him as the martial artist from the martial arts school he had invited to teach him.

However, he was standing in front of Wu Hong at this moment, with a hint of flattery on his face.

"What about the Yan family's two sons?"

Wu Hong was clearly very interested in the Yan family, and his questions were all focused on that.

"Yan Xuan, the second young master of the Yan family, has neither talent nor martial arts ability. However, before leaving, Yan Fengqi handed over the command of 20,000 troops to him, seemingly intending to cultivate him."

"As for the Third Young Master Yan Qing... this person is a bit hard to figure out. It is rumored that he is weak and sickly and has no talent for martial arts, and this does seem to be true from his appearance. However, Yan Fengqi entrusted him with the management of all martial arts resources, making him a very important figure in Jin Province."

"However, he has a very good reputation among the people, especially among martial artists. As long as a talented martial artist comes to him, he will generally give him very good treatment."

The common people have their own opinions on the two young masters of the Yan family, and they are quite fair. Although it is rumored that Yan Qing is a womanizer, there is no record of him forcibly taking women.

Even martial artists hold Yan Qing in high esteem, since martial artists are a rare resource in the civilian world, and as long as one joins Yan Qing's ranks, one can obtain good treatment and a promising future.

I have never heard of Yan Qing bullying martial artists.

So Yan Qing may not have any talent, but his reputation among the people is still quite good. After all, comparisons are the best approach. At least the two young masters of the Yan family have never harmed the people in the slightest.
