The red sun is slanting to the west, and the river breeze is blowing.

As the group stepped into the Shuiyun Sword Pool, they fell into a dead silence at the foot of Chaolu Mountain.

Stomp ......

Dense footsteps sounded from the trail on the shore of Yingyue Lake.

The famous people in the Jianghu who sat in the Shijian Hall looked at it from the hall in a blink of an eye, but saw more than 20 disciples of the Zhou family, pressing their swords in their hands, and retreating step by step along the lakeside, and the person at the head was Zhou Huaiyi, the third elder of the Zhou family.

Zhou Huaiyi can only sit in the third position in the Zhou family, with his back against the Shuiyun Sword Pool, no matter where he puts it, he belongs to the characters who can walk sideways.

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

This scene is quite incredible, but looking at Zhou Huaiyi's opposite, everyone is relieved.

I saw that on Baishi Avenue, more than 30 people strode over!

The people in the rear were all dressed in black, wearing hats, and the swords and soldiers were behind their backs, and they were all imposing.

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

The sturdy man on the right side, dressed in a brocade robe, with his hands behind his back, is the 'White Buddha' Song Chi, who established the name of the grandmaster in Tiannan Jianghu with his boxing skills.

The man on the left, dressed in a robe, looks elegant, but his figure is a little erratic, and everyone sitting there can recognize it at a glance, it is Chen Yuanqing, the boss of the Jiangzhou Boat Gang, and he is also the third leader of Honghualou.

These two are well-known figures in the rivers and lakes, and it is not surprising that they can force Zhou Huaiyi to retreat step by step.

But Fang Cai's unruly words did not come from the mouths of these two people, but the one who walked in the forefront.

The figure is quite tall, wearing a black robe with the texture of water cloud brocade, wearing a hat, and a black scarf on his face, and he can only see the sharp eyes.

This person strode over with more than 30 disciples, and his momentum was like a ruthless general who led ten thousand troops into battle, comparing Zhou Huaiyi to a nobody with a mantis arm as a car!

"It's ......"

"Not like the Red God of Wealth......"

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

Step, step, step......

The group walked very fast, and the pace was extremely fast.

The black-robed hated man strode forward, not paying attention to the people who were blocking the way of the Zhou family at all, until he walked outside the Sword Liberation Hall, he stopped and looked up at the plaque above.

Zhou Huaili's face was ugly, but there were many famous places in the hall, so it was not good to lift the table directly, so he still walked out of the door, and bowed without smiling:

"Song is in charge, Chen is in charge, and I am fortunate to be. Dare to ask who this is? ”

"Honghualou, Ye Shilang."

Night Terror's eyes fell on Zhou Huaili, and he didn't notice that there were two dumbfounded beauties at the back of the crowd in the hall.

"Ye Shiro ......"

The famous hotels in the lobby were all puzzled when they heard the words.

Chen Yuanqing, as the third master, stepped forward at this time and raised his hand to introduce:

"This is the young master of my Honghua Building, this time by the order of the landlord, come over to congratulate Mrs. Zhou on her birthday, and let all friends in the rivers and lakes get to know each other by the way."

"Less in charge?"

"When is this ......?"

When these words came out, there was a lot of noise in the hall, and there was a lot of discussion.

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 he is far from the age of succession, where did this come from?

Although he knew that the Honghua Mansion was not good, in the name of congratulating his birthday, Zhou Huaili did not treat him coldly, so he still smiled and raised his hand to signal:

"It turned out to be Ye Xian's nephew, I have lost my welcome, please come in."

Night Terror Hall did not move, and stood in front of the door with his hands in his hands, and his voice was clear:

"Jianghu people do things and pay attention to a 'happy enmity'. Congratulations to Congratulations, but the dispute is in front, I am not comfortable drinking this wine, and I am afraid that the head of Zhou will not be able to feel at ease when he accompanies him. Why don't you and I finish the trivial matters first, and then go to the door to pay respects? ”

“……”

The famous people in the rivers and lakes present knew that it would be like this, and the inside and outside of the Sword Hall were silent for an instant, and the atmosphere was a little more tense.

Zhou Huaili put his hands behind his back, stood on the steps, looked at the Night Terror Hall, and smiled:

"The virtuous nephew is a straight man, straightforward and fast-talking, quite in line with the old man's heart. The Zhou family and Honghualou have indeed had some small frictions in recent years, which hurt each other's harmony, I don't know how the virtuous nephew wants to end it? ”

"The people of the rivers and lakes speak with their fists. Master Zhou picked someone out and fought with me. If I lose, the five wharves in Zezhou will all be given to Mrs. Zhou as birthday gifts; Master Zhou lost, removed the staff of Qingjiang Wharf, and toasted me. How is it? ”

"Buzz ......"

As soon as the words fell, there was a noise in the Sword Interpretation Hall.

Everyone sitting there thought that Honghualou was coming over vigorously in order 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 head, and gambling Zhou Huaili bowed his head and apologized.

Shuiyun Jiantan is not a small family, when the old gun is there, it is understandable to say this kind of horizontal words, Honghualou is now a river, why is it so strong?

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

When Luo Ning heard this tone of no one in her eyes, she knew that the one standing outside was definitely her shameless thief!

Others don't have that confidence at all.

But how could he be the young master of the Red Flower Building?

Isn't he a poor boy who lives in a broken yard?

Could it be that he is deliberately pretending to be poor to win my favor and thus ...... me

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

It turned out to be all pretended......

Swindler!

Luo Ning suddenly learned the news that destroyed her cognition in an instant, her eyes were mixed, and soon she burst into tears, just like a poor chivalrous girl who was deceived by a wealthy son, clutching the jade pendant in her palm tightly, she wanted to get up and question several times, but there were many famous people in the rivers and lakes present, and she still endured it.

And Zhe Yunli was full of question marks, and said secretly - why was my shocked cousin abducted by Honghualou?

This can't work, what should I do on weekdays......

The two women were sitting at the front of the lobby, but when everyone looked out of the door, they became the back, and their expressions did not attract the attention of others.

Zhou Huaili heard the arrogant words of the night terror, and he also showed a different color, and his eyes turned to Song Chi next to him:

"Song is in charge. Are you sure this virtuous nephew can represent Honghua Building? ”

Song Chi responded indifferently:

"The meaning of being less in charge is the meaning of my Honghualou. If the young master loses, this move should be a birthday gift for Mrs. Zhou, and there will be no disputes between you and me in the future, can the head of Zhou dare to take it? ”

Zhou Huaili saw that Honghualou's tone was excessive, and he had been in the rivers and lakes all the year round, and he knew that this matter might be variable.

But in the past, it was the Zhou family who was aggressive, seized the industry of Honghualou, and avoided the incense owners who came to discuss Honghualou.

Now the people of Honghualou have directly hit the door, and countless famous people in the rivers and lakes are watching, if the Zhou family does not dare to take it, what face will they have in the future?

Zhou Huaili stood with his hands in his hands, and after being silent for a while, he nodded slightly:

"The rivers and lakes are in trouble, the rivers and lakes are over. Since the virtuous nephew has a grudge in his heart, the old man is an elder, so he naturally has to give you a chance to get angry. The old man's apprentice Jian Yuhua, the virtuous nephew wants to come and hear about it, as long as the virtuous nephew is skilled, the past grievances will be written off, and the old man will personally toast the virtuous nephew and compensate him. ”

Night Terror said: "I hope that Master Zhou can be as happy as now afterwards." ”

"Heh......"

This tone is indeed a bit outrageous, and everyone present has a different color.

Zhou Huaili's hand behind his back tightened, and he pressed down the hidden anger in his eyes, not revealing half of the difference:

Yuhua was practicing swords in the back mountain, and the old man called him over, and the virtuous nephew waited for a while. The third child, accompany the guests first! ”

After the words fell, he turned around and left.

Pei Xiangjun dressed up as an ordinary disciple, wrapped tightly, and stood behind the Night Terror Hall all the time.

Seeing that the Zhou family was really in the way of face, he was slightly happy in his heart, but at this time, it was not good to boast about the night terror, so he just whispered:

"Keep up the good work!"

-----

Halfway up Chaolu Mountain, there is a bamboo building, facing the winding Qingjiang River, with a bird's-eye view of the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in Zezhou.

Two vegetable patches were opened up outside the bamboo building, in which several chickens and ducks walked, rummaging for small insects hidden deep in the ground.

Although it looks like a small farm yard, the bamboo building is very tidy, there is a small chessboard under the eaves, and two young people sit opposite each other on a small bench, playing chess at the same time, chatting:

"Senior brother, grandpa celebrates his birthday today, and grandpa said that he will publicly marry the second sister to you, are you happy?"

"Naturally happy."

"In a few days, are you going to visit the church?"

"Hehe......"

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

The two of them looked at each other, and then they both got up:

"Daddy?"

"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 walked quickly to the back of Zhou Huaili:

"Master, is there something wrong?"

Zhou Huaili walked slowly on the mountain road, and his voice was quite unpleasant:

"Someone came to Honghualou, saying that he was a young master, and he came to make trouble, so you have to go out and fight."

Jian Yuhua smiled: "For such a trivial matter, just let the junior brother notify him, why should the master come over in person." ”

"It's not a trivial matter."

Zhou Huaili paused and looked at Jian Yuhua seriously:

"Honghualou is sacrificing his life this time, and if he doesn't succeed, he will become a benevolent. If they win, the prestige of my Shuiyun Sword Pool will plummet, and I am afraid that it will go back to thirty years ago. ”

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

Zhou Huaili nodded: "Honghualou has the confidence to speak, and I am completely sure, I have worked all my life to have the current family business and reputation of the Zhou family, and it cannot be destroyed in the hands of Honghualou in any case." If you want to marry my daughter, you will worship under the Zhou family, this marriage, the old lady's promise does not count, I can only do it with my nod, I hope you will not disappoint my future father-in-law. ”

“……”

When Jian Yuhua heard this, his smile stiffened slightly.

Jian Yuhua is indeed not an apprentice taught by the Zhou family, his real name is 'Fu Yuhua', after the famous Liangzhou Fu family of the previous dynasty, the family has been in the army for generations, and the family was ruined when the former dynasty was destroyed.

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

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

But Zhou Huaili's words now are obviously a little chilling.

Jian Yuhua was silent for a moment, then said with a smile:

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

"We can't afford to lose this battle. I know your potential, as long as you don't want to lose, there is no second peer in the rivers and lakes who can hold you down. ”

"Understood, Master can rest assured, the apprentice will win this battle."
