Chapter 8 Gossip Gate

In the cold winter, before the end of the year, even the usually lively city is a little deserted, and Pingcheng will naturally be no exception.

At the beginning of the hour, Pingcheng was shrouded in mist, and there was no pedestrian on the cold main street.

Suddenly, a sound of horseshoes broke the tranquility in the morning.

Even if the people living on the edge of the main street are awakened by the sound of horseshoes, most of them are just whispering and will not open the doors and windows to see what's going on. However, a small number of people still open the doors and windows facing the street regardless of the cold.

As soon as the doors and windows were opened, those curious people saw a group of well-dressed people riding on the street.

I don't know whether they felt the chill outside or whether they knew the identity of these people. After opening the doors and windows and taking a look, those curious people quickly closed the doors and windows.

This group of people rode horses very fast, but at the time of a cup of tea, the group came to the east gate of Pingcheng.

At this time, the east gate of Pingcheng has been opened, and there are two rows of soldiers standing on both sides of the gate.

Through the north gate of Pingcheng, the sound of horses' hoofs went straight to the south.

When the horse's hoofs went far away, the two rows of soldiers standing on both sides of the gate immediately became less regular. They rubbed their hands and stamped their feet. For a moment, the gate of Dongcheng seemed to have become the most lively place in Pingcheng.

The group of horsemen went south for a while and came to Pingcheng Pier.

Yanyu City, Wushuang City and Wangjiang City are all built on Yunmeng Lake, while other riverside cities in Jiangnan County are a short distance from the river, which is reserved for Hongjiang.

When they arrived at the Pingcheng Pier, all the people got off the horse.

After a while, most of the people who disembarked got on a big boat near the dock, and seven people stayed at the dock.

When the big boat was two or three miles away from the dock, the seven people who stayed at the dock got on the horse again and rushed to the east gate of Pingcheng with a group of unridden horses.

In the cold winter, the city is very deserted, and the river surface of the Hongjiang River is much more deserted than in the city.

A boat is a little lonely on the mountain of the river, but it is very lively in the boat.

In the main hall in the middle of the boat building, two extraordinary young men are eating antique soup with three girls with a little childishness on their faces.

In front of the delicious antique soup, the two young men with extraordinary temperament still have some rules, and the three girls don't care about the rules of eating and quickly eat the things in the soup pot.

After a while, the youngest of the three girls was the first to be full. She put down her chopsticks, took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth. She took the tea bowl from the hand of a maid on the side, put the tea bowl back in the hand of the maid, got up and stood up.

"You eat slowly, and I'll go outside to get some air."

"Xiao Yuer, you can clamor about eating antique soup in the morning. Now why are you the first to leave the table?"

"I'm clamoring for it, but you didn't eat it?"

She made a grimace at the girl who was a little older than her, and the girl named Xiao Yuer jumped to the door.

Xiao Yuer didn't have to do it herself. As soon as Xiao Yuer walked to the door, two bodyguards standing at the door opened the door for Xiao Yuer.

As soon as the door opened, the naughty smile on Xiao Yuer's face froze on her face.

Seeing the man in green standing at the door like a ghost, Xiao Yuer was surprised and scared.

At this time, the other four people sitting on the left also saw the man in blue who appeared at the door.

The two young men changed their faces and stood up together.

The moment the two young men stood up, there were suddenly two middle-aged people who were white and exactly the same in the main hall.

Xiao Yuer looked at Xiao Yu up and down, looked back again, and stepped back a few steps.

When Xiao Yuer retreated, the man in blue walked into the main hall and turned around and closed the door.

At this time, two identical middle-aged people shook their heads slightly at the two young men who were looking at them, and asked the man in blue who had just turned around, "Who are you? What's the matter with getting on the boat without permission?

"Don't you know who it is?"

Asked rhetorically, the man in blue walked to the table under the gaze of everyone in the main hall and sat on the chair where Xiao Yuer had just sat.

"It smells so good!"

The man in blue took a soft breath in the soup pot, turned his head and smiled at the round-faced maid who was waiting for Xiao Yuer to drink tea just now, "Beg a pair of chopsticks for me!"

The maid glanced at the two young men, smiled at the people in blue, and walked to the side to get a pair of chopsticks for the people in blue.

After taking over the chopsticks, the man in blue picked it into the soup pot.

The man in green took a piece of fish fillet and put it in his mouth. He tasted it carefully and nodded with satisfaction.

"I didn't expect to make antique soup with fish fillets so fresh! When the fat housekeeper of the He family invited me to eat antique soup, he didn't make fish fillets. Damn it.

He said to himself, and the man in blue picked it into the soup pot again.

After a while, the food in the soup pot was eaten clean by the people in blue.

He brought the round-faced maid in front of her, took the tea bowl in her hand and took a sip of warm tea. The man in blue turned the tea bowl in his hand and looked at the two young men who had sat back to the table and smiled, "I've eaten for a while, and I haven't asked the name of the master. It's really rude. I don't know their names. What? How old are you in the Zhao family?

The two young men looked at each other and said their names first, and then the names of the three girls.

The two young people are called Zhao Yunpeng and Zhao Yunchao, who are the ninth young master and the twelfth young master of the Zhao family; the three girls are called Zhao Yuchen, Zhao Yuyue and Zhao Yuer, who are Miss Seventeenth, Miss Nineteenth and Miss Twenty-one of the Zhao family.

Zhao Yuer ranks 21st in the direct line of the Zhao family, and is also the youngest daughter of the head of the Zhao family.

After Zhao Yunpeng and Zhao Yunchao said their names, the people in Qingyi looked at Zhao Yunpeng and Zhao Yunchao and said with a smile, "You should know who I am!"

Zhao Yunpeng and Zhao Yunchao looked at each other and said in a low voice, "Mr. Shi's boldness in those years is that no one in the south of the Yangtze River. Yunpeng naturally knows it."

When Xiao Yu heard the words, she smiled and said rudely, but her face was full of meaning.

When Xiao Yu's laughter fell, Zhao Yunpeng stared into Xiao Yu's eyes and asked, "The things have passed. I don't know why Mr. Shi hastily boarded the ship this time?"

"Is what happened in those years over? That's great. I've been hiding in Daxing City for years, but I've been worried. Now I hear the ninth young master say that things are over, and I can sleep peacefully at night in the future. I got on the boat this time to find two young masters and three young ladies. I want to ask you to persuade your master to hand over the damn people of the Gao family to me.

"Is Mr. Shi looking for us for the Gao family?"

"Of course! What should I do when I go back to Jiangnan, not for the Gao family?

Zhao Yunpeng pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Mr. Shi, the Gao family has recognized the Zhao family as the master. The Zhao family does not have the habit of betraying the slave family. I'm afraid Yunpeng can't help with this matter."

"Real?"

Xiao Yu first asked a rhetorical question, and then glanced at Zhao Yunpeng and five other direct young ladies of the Zhao family and said with a smile, "The Zhao family does not have the habit of betraying the slave family, and they should not have the habit of giving up their direct descendants for the sake of the slave family!"

Although Zhao Yunpeng and others knew that Xiao Yu was a good person who did not come, they couldn't help changing their faces when they heard Xiao Yu's words.

At this time, the two identical middle-aged men standing behind Zhao Yunpeng and Zhao Yunchao said in a low voice, "Mr. Shi, you should understand what will happen if you offend the Zhao family!"

"What will be the end of offending the Zhao family?"

Pretending to meditate for a while, Xiao Yu looked at Zhao Yunpeng and Zhao Yunchao and said, "The end that did not offend the Zhao family was designed to be attacked and killed by the young master of the Zhao family. The end of offending the Zhao family will certainly be more terrible than this. However, for a careless person, what will be more terrible than death?"

As soon as Xiao Yu's words fell, there was a clear murderous spirit on the two identical middle-aged men.

The two seemed to want to do something, but looking at Xiao Yu sitting there calmly, they did not dare to take action rashly.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became depressing, and the small faces of the three direct girls of the Zhao family turned pale in this depressing atmosphere.

For a while, Zhao Yunpeng broke the depressing atmosphere in the house.

"Ms. Shi, what on earth do you want to do?"

Xiao Yu pretended to meditate for a moment and said with a smile, "It's inconvenient to talk here. Let's go to the heart of Yunmeng Lake. Now let them row the boat to the heart of Yunmeng Lake now."

When Zhao Yunpeng heard the words, his eyes flashed and waved to a bodyguard standing at the door.

When the bodyguard opened the door, Xiao Yu's voice sounded in everyone's ears again.

"Before playing tricks, you should think about the consequences. There is no medicine for regret in the world."

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, the bodyguard couldn't help looking back at Zhao Yunpeng.

Seeing the bodyguard looking back at him, Zhao Yunpeng's eyes flashed coldly and he shouted coldly, "I asked you to pass on Mr. Shi's order. What are you doing?

"The ninth young master atones for his sins, and I'm going now."

The bodyguard bowed to Zhao Yunpeng in a panic and went out.

After a while, the bodyguard came back.

"Master Huijiu, my subordinates have ordered them to row the boat to the heart of the river."

Zhao Yunpeng nodded to the bodyguard, turned his head and asked Xiao Yu, "Is Mr. Shi satisfied?"

"Satisfaction is satisfactory, but if there is no sound of fingers scratching on the board in my ear, I will be even more satisfied."

As soon as Xiao Yu's words fell, Zhao Yunpeng couldn't help standing up.

Looking at Xiao Yu, who had a calm face, Zhao Yunpeng scolded the bodyguard, "Dog slave, what were you playing just now?"

The bodyguard's eyes turned sharply and replied with a panicked face, "It's my subordinates, damn it. I shouldn't be thinking about gambling with the sailor at this time."

Before Zhao Yunpeng opened his mouth, Xiao Yu took the words.

"Bet? You tell them that they don't have to cancel the gambling. I don't like to see people with poor gambling skills show off their gambling skills in front of me.

The bodyguard glanced at Zhao Yunpeng and walked out of the main hall again.

After a while, the bodyguard returned to the main hall.

"Is Mr. Shi satisfied this time?"

"I'm satisfied, very satisfied."

Looking back at Zhao Yunpeng, Xiao Yu suddenly turned her eyes to Zhao Yuer.

Seeing Xiao Yu's eyes on her, Zhao Yuer was already close to Zhao Yunpeng's body and squeezed Zhao Yunpeng again.
