Looking at the man in front of him, Qiu Yan was not surprised.

A few days ago, Wang Qiaoer led Qiu Yan into the city and monitored him all the way. When she returned, she forgot Qiu Yan's name because of her divine power, which aroused the anger of the gatekeepers and caused physical pain. Other ruffians laughed at her and regarded her as a shame.

He held a grudge in his heart, but he did not dare to trouble the soldiers, so he transferred his hatred to Qiu Yan. In his opinion, Qiu Yan caused all this. If it were not for him, he would not have to lead the way, and he would not be scolded and beaten for forgetting his name.

With hatred in mind, Wang Qiaoer came up with a plan. He met Qiu Yan's cousin Liu Yue that day, but his memory was also vague. He patiently wandered outside the Pan Mansion and inquired. He soon found out the details of several managers in the mansion, and then mobilized his connections. Finally, he figured out Qiu Yan's origin and identity, and came to the door without saying a word.

"Qiu Yan, Mr. Qiu, you said you are back from studying abroad, but as far as I know, that's not the case. You are clearly from Qingchang County, and you lived in a village outside the county when the bandits invaded the border! Once this matter is exposed, there will inevitably be a delicate scholar among the refugees."

Wang Qiaoer sneered, with ill intentions in his eyes and threats in his words. For a scoundrel like him, it is not difficult to get information. After determining the target, it doesn't take long to get the general information. Especially the invasion of the swamp people and the heavy casualties are the most eye-catching events now. It is easy to find out what is going on.

In fact, he came here this time just to tell the story, to see Qiu Yan's fearful look, to repay the shame, and it would be best to extort something, and finally report it to the soldier surnamed Li, killing three birds with one stone.

"Oh? Not talking? Are you scared? You're right! Don't you see who you are? You dare to lie to me!" Staring at Qiu Yan for a few times, Wang Qiaoer's smile grew bigger and bigger. He stepped forward, looking like he was going to teach Qiu Yan a lesson.

Ruffians like them know when to advance and when to retreat, and know who to offend. Although Qiu Yan has a relative who is the manager of the Pan Mansion, he is just a student without any official title, so he doesn't have so many concerns.

On the other hand, in order to prevent the other party from retaliating in the future, the best way is undoubtedly to ruin Qiu Yan's future and make him hopeless in the imperial examination, so Wang Qiaoer is ready to exaggerate when reporting back.

Faced with threats, Qiu Yan behaved very calmly.

"You're just in time," he said calmly, looking at Wang Qiao'er, "I just have something to talk to you about."

"What?" Wang Qiao'er was a little confused when she saw Qiu Yan's calm face, "You actually said you have something to talk to me about? Don't you know what I'm doing here? If you know what's good for you, take out a few taels of silver, and I can consider letting you go and not reporting this matter. Otherwise, not to mention you, even the Liu family will be in trouble! They might be dragged into the refugees together! It's possible that the family will be ruined!"

He simply made things clear.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Yan nodded: "In this case, then I don't need to think about it anymore. The saints all said that some things can be considered twice. It's better to deal with villains directly, so that you can calm down and it's convenient for you and me to talk."

"What did you say? Dare to call me a villain? You're looking for death!" Wang Qiao'er's face changed. Although she knew that she was acting crudely, how could she bear being called a villain in person? She was about to explode immediately.

However, before he could make a move, Qiu Yan had already taken a step forward, kicked his feet, and rushed over like an arrow from a bow. He raised his hand and hit Wang Qiaoer's face with his fist.

Severe pain broke out on Wang Qiaoer's face, and then there was another pain in the lower abdomen, but it was Qiu Yan's knee on it.

Wang Qiaoer felt a tumbling in his stomach, and the turbid air surged up. He felt like he was going to vomit out the food he had eaten last night, but Qiu Yan grabbed him with one hand and directly pressed his chin, blocking the turbid air in his stomach in his throat, then shook his arm and pressed down hard, and with a "pop", Wang Qiaoer's face hit the ground, and the flesh on his face was squeezed and deformed.

Buzz!

The collision made Wang Qiaoer stunned and almost fainted. There was only one thought in his mind-

"Is this guy really a scholar? How come he fights better than me? He is also incredibly strong!"

Wang Qiaoer was a scoundrel, and he had to fight with others, but the few hits just now made him unable to even fight back. Not only was he fast, but he was also strong, much stronger than an ordinary strong man. This kind of strength appeared in a scholar, which naturally made people feel abnormal.

He naturally didn't know that Qiu Yan absorbed a drop of blood to purify his body, and his physical strength was far beyond that of ordinary people.

"Woo!"

Thinking in his heart, Wang Qiaoer suddenly felt a soreness in his throat, as if it was about to explode. It turned out that the turbid air that was just blocked by Qiu Yan was about to burst out.

At this moment, Qiu Yan squatted down and whispered in Wang Qiaoer's ear: "Swallow it, don't dirty the ground."

A simple sentence, coupled with Qiu Yan's indifferent face and calm tone, made Wang Qiaoer startled, and she quickly changed from spitting to swallowing, and swallowed it hard, but her face turned red.

"Good, good." After praising him, Qiu Yan did not stand up, but continued, "You want to threaten me? That's a wrong calculation. Don't you think about it? The enemy troops are powerful. How can a scholar like me survive alone? To tell you the truth, there is a big man standing behind me. You can't afford to offend him. If you know what's good for you, take out all the money you have, and I can still consider not caring about what happened today. Otherwise, you'd better leave the city now. Otherwise, stay at home and bear the consequences."

"Big big man?" First, she was beaten up, and then she swallowed the foul air. Now she heard Qiu Yan's words again. Wang Qiaoer was confused and couldn't even speak clearly, "What big man?"

Qiu Yan's mouth corners slightly raised: "It doesn't matter if you say it out. Think about it yourself. What big man has come to the city recently?"

"Recently?" Wang Qiaoer's face changed, "Could it be General Lang Shilang under the command of Song Jiedushi?"

A cold light flashed in Qiu Yan's eyes: "Oh? From your tone, it seems that you don't believe it? If you don't believe it, you can check it. People like you are well-informed. There is nothing you can't find out if you want to find it."

Feeling a chill in his heart, Wang Qiaoer only felt a breath of palpitation emanating from the scholar beside him, and quickly responded: "Believe it! Of course I believe it!"

At this time, of course he would not refute it. It is better to believe it than not to believe it. The most urgent thing is to resolve the current predicament. However, once you get out of trouble, you will inevitably have to investigate it afterwards, otherwise it will be a waste of money.

"I know you don't believe it, and you have to investigate it afterwards. It doesn't matter. Go ahead and investigate it." Qiu Yan said, stretching out his hand, "But today I still have to punish you a little, take the money to get rid of the disaster, and let you remember it. In the future, you must first consider the gains and losses. Although I, Qiu Yan, am a commoner, I can't let people come and go as they please."
