Volume 1 The first foray into the rivers and lakes Chapter 21 The wealthy families of the rivers and lakes

"Raging Jiao Gang!"

Huo Chunlei said hatefully: "I reported to my father after I came back. Dad said that although the business names of Yijian Pavilion are all over the territory of Dongsheng, the main attention is still focused on the area of Zigui County, so if someone attacks me because of the business name, it can only be the forces in Zigui County, and those who have the ability and courage to dare to play the sword against me in Zigui County are only the Nujiao Gang except for Mingzhu Tower!"

Huo Rendi, the master of Yijian Pavilion, and Ye Qingcang, the owner of Mingzhu Pavilion, have been close friends for many years, and Mingzhu Pavilion is about to marry Yijian Pavilion, not to mention that this marriage is still the first to be proposed by Mingzhu Pavilion, and at this time, he should not be so poisonous to his aunt - if he wants to deal with Yijian Pavilion, he doesn't have to go to such great lengths, and he also takes a second lady in.

Besides, the industry of Mingzhu Building is all over Dongsheng Country, and there is really no need to make such an enemy for the sake of this small sub-regulation county's income.

Compared with the style of the Angry Jiao Gang, in comparison, the suspicion of Mingzhulou is greatly reduced.

Xu Zhaonan asked, "Where is the Angry Jiao Gang?"

After Huo Chunlei drank another glass of wine, he replied: "The Nujiao Gang is also a major force in Zigui County, headquartered in Huainan City, south of Mojuan City, you should have passed on the way here. From its name, you can hear that the gang is full of men with good water nature, mainly relying on the Huaishui Basin to eat mixed rice, probably after my family business formed a fleet to do business, I thought that my Yijian Pavilion intended to rob them of their jobs. Moreover, after Ye Feihong and I got married, Yijian Pavilion and Mingzhulou became a family, and they were probably afraid that they would lose their foothold in Zigui County in the future, so they attacked me - they wanted to break up this marriage. ”

Xu Zhaonan raised his eyebrows, just because his experience in the rivers and lakes is too shallow, this way, except for yesterday's trip to Jiangyue City, the rest of the time is running in the forest, and he can't enter the city, what he is afraid of is that if he encounters trouble in the city, he will delay the auspicious day.

At this time, I really don't know where Huainan City is.

However, none of this affected him from continuing to ask, only to see him raise his cup, touch it with Huo Chunlei and drink it all, and then asked: "What is the strength of the Nujiao Gang?

"Ha, good wine, as the so-called wine is a thousand cups of confidant...... Huo Chunlei took a sip of wine, sighed, pinched the empty cup in his hand and played with it repeatedly, his eyes gradually lost focus, and recalled: "Yun Ao, the leader of the Nujiao Gang, like my father, is a first-class master, otherwise it would be impossible to lay such a family business single-handedly, he also has a second son named Yun Zhenjiang, who is already a third-grade master at a young age, and he has long been able to take charge of his father alone." If these alone are actually nothing, I am not afraid of them, but, alas, ......"

Huo Chunlei sighed again, and after sighing, he held a piece of chopsticks and put a tender and attractive fish belly into Xu Zhaonan's bowl, and said: "Come, Brother Xu, try this steamed Huai fish, this kind of Huai fish is tender and delicious, but it can only be seen in the Huai River Valley, and it will die after a moment out of the water, and it is rare for people from other places to taste it even if it costs ten thousand gold!"

The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, the rich river water of the Huai River basin feeds all the states and counties through the way, this Huai fish, is the most famous product of the Huai River Basin, this fish can only grow to half a foot long, and it is not like other river fish full of thorns, only one main spine runs through the whole body, the meat quality and its tender and fat, the most precious place is that this fish fishes out of the Huai River and dies for a moment, can not be artificially raised.

The so-called scarcity is expensive, Huaiyu is also famous, there are always literati and elegant guests come from thousands of miles away, just to taste its taste.

Xu Zhaonan sandwiched the belly of the fish in his mouth, and after tasting it carefully, he found that it was really as Huo Chunlei said, it melted in his mouth, and his lips and teeth were fragrant, and he couldn't help but praise: "It's really delicious in the world!"

Huo Chunlei saw that he was eating happily, and smiled with satisfaction: "Hahaha, in this case, Brother Xu has to stay in this Mojuan City for a few more days, as long as you speak, no matter what flies in the sky or swims in the river, my brother can get it for you!"

Xu Zhaonan waved his hand again and again, saying that there was no need to go to such great lengths for him.

After Huo Chunlei poured himself a glass of wine, he held the cup and continued to talk about the topic just now: "Actually, these are not enough reasons for the Nujiao Gang to dare to attack us. It's just that who let that Yun Ao give birth to a good son. ”

Xu Zhaonan asked: "Just now, Brother Huo only mentioned Yun Ao's second son, Yun Zhenjiang, who is a third-grade master, I wonder if there are other heirs?"

Huo Chunlei nodded, and said proudly: "Yes, Yun Ao has two sons in his life, one is Yun Zhenjiang I just mentioned, although he is young and promising, but in front of my Yijian Pavilion, there is no need to worry!"

After a pause, he continued: "It is naturally not this Yun Zhenjiang who can support Yun Ao, but his eldest son Yun Zhenhai!"

"Yun Zhenhai?"

"Not bad. Huo Chunlei squinted his drunken eyes, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and said hatefully: "Yun Zhenhai is his real name, and after apprenticeship, his master gave him a new name - Zuo Xuan!"

"Zuo Xuan?"

Xu Zhaonan felt that this name was a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had heard it, so he had to keep searching in his mind for the limited memory of the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

However, Huo Chunlei didn't let him wait too long, so he said the answer: "You don't walk in the rivers and lakes, when you mention Zuo Xuan, I'm afraid it's not very clear, but if you mention his master, in this world, no one knows and no one knows!"

A name gradually became clear in Xu Zhaonan's mind, and suddenly, a cold light appeared in Xu Zhaonan's eyes, and he said in a murderous cold voice: "Zuo Yuanfang!"

Fortunately, Huo Chunlei, who was already seven points drunk, didn't notice the strangeness of the people around him, shook his head, and continued: "Yes, Sword Armor Zuo Yuanfang, the first person in the world! Yun Zhenhai is his third disciple Zuo Xuan! Zuo Xuanqi is already one of the top ten masters, and there is even the world's No. 1 Zuo Jianjia behind him, so the Nujiao Gang has always acted unscrupulously, only they have a reason to dare to make a move against the people of the Sword Pavilion against me!"

Xu Zhaonan once heard Gu Sihai mention that Zuo Yuanfang is worthy of being a generation of grandmasters, and the seven disciples under him are all first-class masters, and two of them are among the top ten masters.

Thinking of this, Xu Zhaonan suddenly came to his senses, and when he heard Zuo Yuanfang's name, his reaction seemed to be a little too intense, and if someone found out that he showed hostility towards Zuo Yuanfang, it would inevitably make people suspicious.

Fortunately, he was not discovered by Huo Chunlei, otherwise he was afraid that he would inevitably make up a lie to explain, forcibly suppressed the hostility in his heart, and said lightly: "How about the top ten masters, what about the first person in the world, Brother Huo must not raise the ambition of others to destroy his own prestige, there is a way to bully the pulsatilla, don't bully the poor young man!"

"Not bad!"

At this time, Huo Chunlei was already drunk and his face was flushed, and it could be seen from the dilated pupils that he was eight points drunk, and he heard Xu Zhaonan say this, just as he was comforting himself, feeling that he could meet such a brother in his life, what more could he ask for!

Huo Chunlei was full of pride, stood up and put his arm around Xu Zhaonan's shoulder, and laughed: "My brother is right! Don't bully the poor boy! Don't bully the poor boy!"

"Why don't you bully the poor of young people?"

There was a hearty laugh outside the door.

I saw a man walking slowly from the outside, with a gentle smile on his face, and a folding fan in his hand swaying gently, like a handsome boy.

"Big brother!"

When Huo Chunlei saw this person, he shouted happily, the person who came turned out to be Huo Chunlei's eldest brother, the eldest son of Huo Rendi, the master of Yijian Pavilion, Huo Chunfeng.

Huo Chunfeng, who had a smile on his face, walked into the hall, looked at the second brother who had shown a drunken state, and shook his head helplessly: "Tell me, why did you drink like this again." ”

Huo Chunlei ignored it, stepped forward and took the eldest brother's hand and introduced: "Big brother, this is the brother Xu I told you, today I finally waited for Brother Xu to come, I was happy, so I accompanied Brother Xu to drink a few more glasses, and it was not in the way...... Brother Xu, this is my eldest brother. ”

From the first glance of Huo Chunfeng, he saw Xu Zhaonan sitting on the side, although he kept looking at him, but Xu Zhaonan did not have the slightest disgust, the smile on his face was really like his name, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

I really don't know why these two people who are obviously brothers give people the feeling that there is such a big difference, one is heroic and open-minded, and the other is as graceful as a spring breeze.

Xu Zhaonan also stood up for the first time, bowed and said, "I've seen Brother Huo." ”

"Brother Xu doesn't have to be polite. ”

Huo Chunfeng held his second brother with one hand, held Xu Zhaonan's arm with the other, and said with a smile: "Since the second brother came back, he has been chattering at home day and night, looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally he has come to you, you see, he is happy." ”

"Hmm...... No, no, you call me Brother Huo...... Call me Brother Huo again...... Aren't there two big brothers Huo...... Ha ha...... Two Huo brothers" Huo Chunlei is already drunk at the moment, and he can't even say a sentence, but his thinking is to the point.

"Hahaha, then I'll call you Second Brother Huo from now on. ”

Looking at Huo Chunlei, who was lying in his eldest brother's arms, full of alcohol, Xu Zhaonan smiled helplessly.

"Yes, then you will be Second Brother Huo in the future. Huo Chunfeng also said with a smile, looking at the second brother's eyes, full of doting.

"Second Brother Huo...... Not...... Good...... I will be Second Brother Huo in the future...... Hiccup......" Huo Chunlei laughed stupidly, burped a wine, and suddenly the smell of wine sprayed the two of them with the smell of alcohol.

Xu Zhaonan and Huo Chunfeng glanced at each other, both shook their heads helplessly, and then said in unison: "Help him back to the room first." ”

Immediately, they looked at each other and smiled.

You must know that Huo Chunlei is tall and strong, and when he is drunk at this time, he is like a mess of mud, which makes people have no idea where to start.

It took Xu Zhaonan and the others a lot of effort to get Huo Chunlei back into the room, until he put him on the bed in his bedroom and saw Huo Chunfeng lightly covering him with the quilt, Xu Zhaonan was relieved.

After settling the second brother, Huo Chunfeng carefully instructed the servant a few more words before turning around and smiling at Xu Zhaonan: "The second brother was born with good wine, and whenever he meets a friend, he always has to drink more, but the amount of wine is ...... Let the brothers laugh. With that, he shook his head helplessly.

Xu Zhaonan waved his hand again and again: "What Brother Huo said, I already know Huo ...... The second brother is a man of temperament, and it is because of this that we hit it off at first sight. I also blamed me for not stopping him and letting him drink a few more glasses. ”

Huo Chunlei looked at the second brother who was lying on his clothes and kept humming, and said helplessly: "My own brother, I know in my heart that the addiction to alcohol is coming, and I am afraid that my father will not be able to stop it." ”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Huo Chunlei said that the second brother's wedding was imminent, and he still had a lot of things to do, so it was inconvenient to accompany him, so he waved his hand and beckoned the servant to lead Xu Zhaonan to the guest room that had been prepared, and then left.

Back in the guest room, the carved beams and paintings in the room are extremely luxurious, even if it is just a guest room.

Xu Zhaonan recalled what he had seen and heard today, and couldn't help but sigh, this is the life of the wealthy families in the rivers and lakes.
