Chapter 85 Jianghu Matters, Jianghu (Part [-])
The red sun is setting to the west, and the river wind is rustling.

As a group of people stepped into Shuiyun Jiantan, the foot of Chaolu Mountain fell into dead silence.

stomping on...

The dense footsteps sounded from the trail beside Yingyue Lake.

Sitting in the Shijian Hall, the well-known figures from the rivers and lakes looked around from the hall, and saw more than [-] disciples of the Zhou family, holding their swords, retreating step by step along the lakeside, and the leader was Zhou Huaiyi, the eldest son of the Zhou family. .

Zhou Huaiyi sits in the third place in the Zhou family, with his back against Shuiyun Jiantan. No matter where he is placed, he is a person who can walk sideways.

But at this time, Zhou Huaiyi was walking backwards in his home holding the sword hilt at his waist tightly, his eyes were burning with anger, but he kept raising his hand to hold down the restless disciples of the Zhou family.

This scene was quite unbelievable, but looking at Zhou Huaiyi's opposite, everyone was relieved.

I saw more than [-] people striding forward on Baishi Avenue!

The people in the rear were all dressed in black, with bamboo hats on their heads, with swords behind their backs, and they all had a good momentum.

The three people in front are even more eye-catching.

The burly man on the right, dressed in a brocade robe, with his hands behind his back and a tough face, is the 'White Buddha' Song Chi, who has established the name of a master with boxing in Tiannan Rivers and Lakes.

As for the man on the left, he looked very elegant in a robe, but his figure was a bit erratic. Everyone sitting there recognized him at a glance. He was Chen Yuanqing, the boss of Jiangzhou Ship Gang, and the third head of Honghualou.

Both of these two are well-known figures in the world, and it is not surprising that Zhou Huaiyi can be forced to retreat every step of the way.

But the unruly words just now did not come from the mouths of these two people, but from the one who walked in the forefront.

The figure is quite tall, dressed in a black robe made of water cloud brocade, a bamboo hat, and a black scarf on his face. Only his sharp eyes can be seen.

This person came striding forward with more than [-] disciples, his aura was like a ruthless warrior leading an army into battle, comparing Zhou Huaiyi to an unknown pawn with a mantis arm and a chariot!
"This is……"

"It's not like the Red God of Wealth..."

Sitting in the famous rivers and lakes, I thought this person was the contemporary "Red God of Wealth", but the contemporary Red God of Wealth is a woman, and this black robe and bamboo hat is half a head taller than the white Buddha Song Chi, with a well-proportioned and heroic figure, obviously not a woman in disguise .

Step, step, step...

A group of people walked very fast.

The man in black robe and bamboo hat strode forward, not paying attention to the people from the Zhou family blocking the way. He didn't stop until he got outside the Shi Jian Hall, and looked up at the plaque above.

Zhou Huaili's expression was ugly, but there were so many famous people in the hall, it was not easy to lift the table directly, so he walked out of the door, bowed his hands with a smile on his face:
"Song Dangjia and Chen Dangjia, it's a pleasure to meet you. May I ask who this is?"

"Safflower Building, Ye Silang."

Ye Jingtang's eyes fell on Zhou Huaili, and he didn't notice that there were two stunned beautiful women at the end of the crowd in the hall.

"Ye Silang..."

All the celebrities in the lobby showed doubts when they heard the words.

As the third master, Chen Yuanqing took a step forward and raised his hand to introduce:

"This is the young head of my Honghualou. This time, I was ordered by the landlord to come here to celebrate the old lady Zhou's birthday. By the way, I will let you friends from the world get to know each other."

"Less head of the house?"

"When is this..."

After saying this, the heroes in the hall became noisy, whispering to each other.

Zhou Huaili was also a little puzzled, after all, the contemporary Red God of Wealth has only been in power for a few years, and is far from the age of handover, so where did this young master come from?

Although he knew that the visitors from Honghualou were not kind, but in the name of celebrating his birthday, Zhou Huaili couldn't treat him coldly, so he smiled and raised his hand to signal:
"It turns out to be Nephew Ye Xian. If you are far away, welcome."

Ye Jingtang didn't move, but stood in front of the door with his hands behind his back, with a clear voice:
"People in the rivers and lakes pay attention to 'happy kindness and enmity' when they do things. Celebrate birthdays and celebrate birthdays, but disputes come first. I don't feel comfortable drinking this wine, and I'm afraid I don't feel at ease when the head of Zhou is with me. Or you and my two families, Get rid of the trivial matters first, and then come in to pay your respects?"

"..."

The famous people in the world who were present knew that this would happen. There was an instant silence inside and outside the Shi Jian Hall, and the atmosphere became more tense.

With his hands behind his hands, Zhou Huaili stood on the steps, looking at Ye Jingtang with a smile on his face:

"Nephew Xian is straightforward, outspoken, and quite in line with the old man's wishes. The Zhou family and Honghualou have indeed had some minor frictions in recent years, which hurt each other's harmony. I don't know how nephew Xian wants to end it?"

"People in the rivers and lakes speak with their fists. Head Zhou chooses someone to come out and fight me. If I lose, the five piers in Zezhou will all be given to Mrs. Zhou as a birthday gift; if head Zhou loses, Qingjiang Pier will be removed. Hands, give me a toast. How about it?"

"Om..."

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in Shi Jiantang.

The people sitting here thought that Honghualou came over aggressively to determine the ownership of Qingjiang Wharf, but they didn't expect Honghualou to gamble so much, using all the land in Zezhou as a lottery, betting that Zhou Huaili bowed his head and apologized.

Shuiyunjiantan is not a small family. When the old gun leader was here, it was understandable to say such extreme words. Honghualou is now in decline, so why is it so strong?

Everyone present was full of surprise, only 'Madam Xue' understood the reason, but her eyes were also full of shock.

When Luo Ning heard this defiant tone, she knew that the one standing outside was definitely her shameless little thief!
Others have no confidence at all.

But how could he be the young master of Honghualou?

Isn't he a poor border boy who lives in a dilapidated courtyard?

Could it be that he is pretending to be poor on purpose to gain my favor, so that he treats me...

No wonder he is so handsome and talented, but he doesn't know any real kung fu, and then he has a peerless sword technique...

It was all pretended...

fraud!

Luo Ning suddenly heard the news that destroyed her cognition in an instant, her eyes were filled with mixed feelings, and soon she burst into tears, just like a poor chivalrous woman who was deceived by a rich man, tightly clutching the jade pendant in her palm, several times He wanted to stand up and question him, but there were many celebrities present, so he endured it.

Zheyunli, on the other hand, was full of question marks, thinking to herself——how did my cousin Jing get kidnapped by Honghualou?
This is not good, what should I do in normal days...

The two women were originally sitting at the front of the lobby, but now everyone was looking out the door, and they were at the back, their expressions did not attract the attention of others.

When Zhou Huaili heard Ye Jingtang's arrogant words, he also showed a strange look, and turned his eyes to Song Chi next to him:

"Master Song. Are you sure this nephew can represent Honghualou?"

Song Chi responded indifferently:

"Young master means what I mean by Honghualou. If the young master loses, this move should be given to Mrs. Zhou as a birthday gift. If there is no dispute between you and me in the future, will head Zhou dare to take over? "

Zhou Huaili saw that Honghualou's tone was too loud, and he had been in the rivers and lakes all year round, knowing that there might be variables in this matter.

But in the past, the Zhou family was aggressive and seized Honghualou's property, avoiding the incense master who came to discuss with Honghualou.

Now the people from the Honghualou directly hit the door, and countless famous people in the world watched. If the Zhou family dared not accept it, what face would they have in the world in the future?

Zhou Huaili stood with his hands behind his back. After a little silence, he nodded slightly:
"The affairs of the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes. Since my nephew has resentment in his heart, the old man, as an elder, naturally has to give you a chance to vent his anger. The old man's apprentice, Jian Yuhua, my nephew wants to come and hear about it. The skill is superior, the past grievances are wiped out, and the old man personally toasts to the nephew to apologize."

Ye Jingtang said: "I hope that Master Zhou will be as straightforward afterwards as he is now."

"Ah……"

This tone is indeed a bit outrageous, and everyone present has strange looks in their eyes.

Zhou Huaili's hands behind his back were tightened, and he suppressed the anger in his eyes, not revealing any strangeness:
"Yuhua is practicing sword in the back mountain. The old man told him to come over. Nephew, please wait for a while. The third child, accompany the guests first!"

Turned around and left.

Pei Xiangjun was dressed as an ordinary disciple, wrapped up tightly, and stood behind Ye Jingtang all the time.

Seeing that the Zhou family really joined the battle out of face, I was a little happy, but at this time it is not good to boast that the night is startled, so I just whispered:
"make persistent efforts!"
-
On the hillside of Chaolu Mountain, there is a bamboo building facing the winding Qingjiang River, where you can have a bird's-eye view of the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Zezhou.

Two vegetable fields were opened outside the bamboo building, and a few chickens and ducks walked among them, looking for bugs hidden deep in the ground.

Although it looks like a small farmyard, the bamboo building is tidy. There is a small chessboard under the eaves. Two young people are sitting opposite each other on the small bench. While playing chess, they are chatting:

"Brother, grandpa celebrates his birthday today, and grandpa said that he would publicly betroth the second sister to you, are you happy?"

"Naturally happy."

"Then in a few days, are you going to worship?"

"Ha ha……"

While talking, there was a noise outside the bamboo building, and a figure silently landed at the end of the path up the mountain.

The two looked at each other in a blink of an eye, and then both got up:
"father?"

"Master."

"Yuhua, come here."

After Zhou Huaili glanced at the two of them, he frowned and walked towards the mountain road.

Jian Yuhua put down the chess pieces, and quickly walked behind Zhou Huaili:
"Master, is there something wrong?"

Zhou Huaili walked slowly on the mountain road, his voice was rather displeased:

"Someone came from Honghualou, saying that the young master came to the house to make trouble, so you have to go out and fight."

Jian Yuhua smiled: "It's enough for the younger brother to inform the younger brothers about such trivial matters. Why does the master come here in person?"

"It's no small matter."

Zhou Huaili paused and looked at Jian Yuhua seriously:
"Honghualou is risking their lives this time. If they don't win, they will be benevolent. If they win, my reputation in Shuiyun Jiantan will plummet, and I'm afraid I will go back to 30 years ago."

Jian Yuhua frowned: "It's so serious."

Zhou Huaili nodded: "Honghualou has the confidence to speak, so I have full confidence. I have worked hard all my life to have the current family business and reputation of the Zhou family. No matter what, it can't be destroyed by the hands of Honghualou. Do you want to marry My daughter just worshiped under Zhou's family, this marriage, the old man's promise does not count, I can only make it if I nod, I hope you don't let my future father-in-law down."

"..."

Jian Yuhua's smile froze when he heard this.

Jian Yuhua is indeed not an apprentice taught by the Zhou family. His real name is 'Fu Yuhua'. After the famous Liangzhou Fu family in the former dynasty, his family served in the army for generations. A ranger, he has practiced the "storm stick" handed down in his family.

A few years ago, Jian Yuhua wandered to Zezhou and came to Shuiyun Jiantan to observe. Zhou Huaili saw his talent and asked him to stay in the Zhou family to study art. brother.

In the past, Zhou Huaili treated him quite politely, and the old grandpa Zhou even treated him as his own grandson. Jian Yuhua was grateful for this, and had already regarded the Zhou family as his own.

But what Zhou Huaili said now is obviously a bit chilling.

After a moment of silence, Jian Yuhua said with a smile:

"I understand, this battle must go all out."

"This battle cannot be lost. I know your potential. As long as you don't want to lose, there is no second peer in the world who can suppress you."

"Understood, master can rest assured, this disciple will surely win this battle."
