Martial arts: Prince Xiaoyao, pick Zhou Zhiruo at the beginning

Liu Hao laughed, "I'm getting older, and I'm slow to speak, it's because Rong'er is too anxious."

Huang Rong snorted, "Bad uncle, I'm ignoring you."

As she spoke, she began to cook, raising her eyelids from time to time while eating, peeking at everyone's reactions.

Seeing everyone smiling at her, Huang Rong blushed, and stopped raising her head in the name of cooking rice.

"Rong'er's craftsmanship is really good, and it's delicious."

"After that, when we return to the mansion, Dongmei will have a helper, and we will have good luck."

"It turns out that Rong'er is so good at cooking, it's amazing."

. . .

Everyone praised Huang Rong with every word. Although Huang Rong didn't look up, her heart was already flying with joy.

In the past, she only cooked for herself, and occasionally for Huang Yaoshi, but Huang Yaoshi rarely praised herself like this, and even if she did, it was only a few words.

After getting along during this time, Xiao Huangrong only felt that these sisters were very kind to her, as if she had found a sense of home again.

This kind of feeling is not available on Peach Blossom Island. Ever since her mother passed away, she has no home anymore.

While eating and thinking, Huang Rong's eyes were a little moist, and tears fell into the bowl, but this time they were tears of happiness.

Chunlan noticed it immediately, and hurried over with a handkerchief, "Why is Sister Rong'er crying?"

Huang Rong took the handkerchief and wiped away her tears, smiling in tears, "Rong'er is happy. Ever since mother left, Rong'er has no home anymore. Thank you sister, thank you uncle, for giving Ronger the feeling of being at home."

Chunlan hugged Huang Rong lightly, "Silly girl, we will be your family from now on, don't worry about anything, just tell us."

"That's right, Rong'er's mother is definitely fine, and the master will definitely find a way to rescue her."

"Yes, I will definitely be able to save Rong'er's mother back."

Several people looked at Liu Hao and asked Liu Hao to speak.

Liu Hao also comforted, "Don't worry girl, I will try my best."

But he sighed in his heart, it seems that the Ice Fire Grass must go to find it himself.

Huang Rong hummed and stopped her tears, "Thank you sisters, Rong'er is fine."

After a night of sailing, Lou Hang has traveled hundreds of miles and passed several port cities like Ningcheng.

At this time, they are about to leave the safest area, and the number of merchant ships along the road has decreased significantly. Many of them are docking at nearby ports and using land transportation instead.

If you continue to move forward, there will be mountains and steep mountains, where there are many gangs in the rivers and lakes, doing things like robbing houses.

Only some merchant ships that paid protection fees, or some merchant ships with a large number of escorts, will continue to move forward.

There are also the ships of some dignitaries, they are often escorted by warships, and gangs in the rivers and lakes dare not mess with them.

On the bow, Liu Hao and Qiu Ju stood side by side.

Just now Liu Hao returned the Red Maple Sword to Qiu Ju. Qiu Ju was holding the sword, thinking of what happened last night, she was still a little hot.

She tried her best not to think about it, and pointed to the high mountains hidden in the clouds and mist in the distance, "Master, Weishan is ahead, there are three hundred miles of Weishan and waterways, there are more than a dozen rivers and lakes gangs, big and small, the largest of which is two The two are the White Flood Flood Gang and the Black Flood Flood Gang."

"The heads of the two gangs are sworn brothers. The two gangs supported each other. After several years of fighting, they wiped out the other gangs and occupied the entire Weishan Waterway..."

"Ordinary merchant ships want to pass here, they have to pay enough protection fees to these two gangs, otherwise they will be looted."

"And as long as it is a ship that has paid protection fees to the two gangs, the other small gangs will not dare to do it."

"The Black Flood Dragon Gang and the White Flood Dragon Gang are called the Black and White Flood Dragon Gang by others. Although they are two gangs, they are actually one."

Qiu Ju has already investigated the situation along the road clearly.

Liu Hao said slowly after listening, "Who is behind these two gangs?"

Qiu Ju smiled, "I really can't hide it from the master, behind them is the Yuwen family in the Tang Dynasty."

"It's just that Xiao Ju'er doesn't understand, how does the master know that there are people behind them?"

Liu Hao scratched Qiu Ju's nose, "Is Xiao Ju'er trying to test the master? Two such big gangs control hundreds of miles of waterways, and they are the local emperors here."

"If there is no support behind it, how could Emperor Wu of the Tang Dynasty allow such a force to exist?"

Qiu Ju suppressed her embarrassment and continued, "The Yuwen family is one of the four great families of the Tang Dynasty, and the Weishan area is their sphere of influence. According to the information we have obtained, the two gangs of white dragons and black dragons are actually their people. .”

"They look like people from the Jianghu, but they are actually from court, which is not bad. If you guessed correctly, many people in the two gangs are from the military."

Qiu Ju nodded, "Indeed, and many of their ships also have the hidden elements of military warships, and many of their weapons are somewhat similar to those of the military, with great power, so they can control the Weishan waterway in a short time."

"The Yuwen family..."

Liu Hao said to himself, he actually didn't pay much attention to the Yuwen family, the four great families of the Tang Dynasty, to put it nicely, 1.0 is actually nothing in his eyes.

"I hope they don't come to provoke us. Otherwise, I will beat up the younger brother and come to Lao Tzu, one after another. Maybe after our trip, there will be no Yuwen family in the world."

Qiu Ju giggled, "The master said it was scary, but in fact the master killed not as many people as Xiao Ju."

Liu Hao chuckled, "My master prefers to punish his heart."

At this moment, the fragrance of tea wafted over, and Chunlan came over with a tea tray, "What are the master and sister Qiuju talking about?"

Liu Hao took the teacup, "Talk about what happened last night."

The faces of Chunlan and Qiuju turned red, Qiuju stomped her feet, and fled with her head down.

Chunlan was thicker than Qiu Ju, "Master, you scared Xiao Ju'er away."

Liu Hao smiled, "It's okay, I'll get used to it in the future."

I can get used to this kind of absurdity. . .

Even Chunlan couldn't bear it now, "Master, you can stay alone.".

Chapter 2 I want all eight

There are three hundred miles of waterways in Weishan, and the Baijiao Gang and the Black Jiaogang each control 150 miles.

As Liu Hao said, they are the local emperors here.

The leader of the Baijiao Gang, surnamed Bai Baiming Zhixing.The leader of the Heijiao Gang, whose surname is Hei and his name is Zhicheng.

The two got acquainted with Wei Mo, and fought their way up, and later became sworn brothers and changed their names.

I can't remember my previous name.

Later, the two joined the Yuwen family together, and with the support of the Yuwen family, two gangs were formed to jointly control the three hundred miles of waterways in Weishan.

But recently, neither the White Flood Dragon Gang nor the Black Flood Dragon Gang are doing well.

The Changle gang came from the Zhenjiang waterway four hundred miles away with the force of a dragon crossing the river, wanting to occupy their territory.

After several fights, both the White Flood Dragon Gang and the Black Flood Dragon Gang suffered some losses.

But now it's just a small-scale battle, and the people who do it are all gangsters, and the masters of the gang haven't shown up yet.

The two brothers Bai Zhixing and Hei Zhicheng met on the river and discussed how to deal with the Changle Gang.

Bai Zhixing, dressed in white, has a handsome face, with the appearance of a scholar, but his eyes are always gloomy, which affects the whole temperament, making people feel uncomfortable.

And the fact is true, Bai Zhixing is notorious for his cruelty, and basically it will not end well if it falls into his hands.

"The Changle Gang is coming so fiercely this time, we will definitely not let it go. As far as I know, the Dugu family is behind the Changle Gang, and we will definitely not be able to resist it alone."

Hei Zhicheng was dressed in black, tall and thick, with a square face that looked fierce.

He looks cruel, but in fact he is much better than the scholar-like Bai Zhixing.

"I don't think there is a rush to report this matter to the Patriarch for the time being. We don't know whether the Changle Gang's actions this time were their own, or the Dugu Family's instigation."

"Besides, based on the Patriarch's eyeliner, I'm afraid he already knew about this matter, but until now, there has been no news from the Patriarch's side. This matter is a bit unusual."

After hearing what Hei Zhicheng said, Bai Zhixing felt that there was some truth to it.

Given the power of the Yuwen family in Datang, the actions of the Changle Gang must not be hidden from them.

But why hasn't any news come yet.

Is there really no news, or is the news still on the way?

At this time, suddenly a younger brother from the gang ran in, "Guangzhu, Mr. Yuwenyi is here."

The two stood up suddenly, and seemed to see something unusual in each other's eyes.

Yuwenyi is the second son of the Yuwen family, but he has neither learning nor skill, neither advanced martial arts, nor learning, he only knows to rely on his family background to misbehave, he is an out-and-out playboy.

On weekdays, they only met him a few times, and they were not familiar with him at all.

Why he made a sudden visit seems strange.

But in any case, they are the second sons of their masters. To put it bluntly, they are slaves, and Yu Wenyi is the master.

The two hurriedly welcomed Yu Wenyi in.

Yu Wenyi was in his early 20s, and he was born in good shape. He looked fair and clean, but his face was always pale, without any color.

Both of them knew that Yu Wenyi had been hollowed out by years of drinking and sex.

This kind of person doesn't live long.

Yu Wenyi walked in with big strides, and sat down on the main seat unceremoniously, "Hello, two guild masters."

The tone of his words was casual, just like his behavior, he was not polite at all, in other words, he didn't take the two places seriously.

The two of them felt slightly unhappy, but because of Yu Wenyi's identity, they didn't have an outbreak.

If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have met each other.

"Hello, second son."

The two of them bowed their hands towards Yu Liu Yi, as a courtesy, Bai Zhixing said in a low voice, "Second Young Master came here suddenly, what do you want to order?"

As the saying goes, if there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Hall, Yu Wenyi suddenly came over, there must be something wrong.

Simply ask straight to the point, if you can do it, do it, and let him go when you're done.

Yu Wenyi said, "I have something to trouble the two gang leaders."

Sure enough, there was something to do, Bai Zhixing responded immediately, "Second Young Master, please tell me, as long as we can do it, we will definitely not refuse."

With a bang, Yu Wenyi opened the folding fan in his hand and pretended to fan it a few times, "There will be a building boat passing by your site later, and there are some people on the building boat. I want you to bring them back for my son."

The two frowned slightly, that's all?

It doesn't sound difficult, but you still have to ask before you can rest assured.

Bai Zhixing was careful, but he didn't agree, "What kind of building is the second young master talking about? Is there a mark?"

Yu Wenyi thought about it and described it.

After hearing this, Bai Zhixing and Hei Zhicheng exchanged glances, it really wasn't that simple.

Bai Zhixing said, "This is a ship owned by the Sky-Sun Chamber of Commerce. We have paid protection fees in our place. Logically speaking, we can't stop their ship, let alone bring back the people on board."

Yu Wenyi frowned, "Isn't it okay to pay the protection fee?"

Hei Zhicheng shook his head, "This is a rule set by the head of the family and the eldest son, we are not good at breaking it."

"Isn't my son good at speaking?" Yu Wenyi was very displeased when he saw that the two of them didn't listen to him.

The two lowered their heads and did not answer, but the meaning was already very clear.

You can not!

"You..." Yu Wenyi was angry, but it was useless for him to be angry.

At this time, a voice came from outside, "Then can I speak well?"

A man wearing a scholar's uniform came in from the outside. Bai Zhixing and Hei Zhicheng immediately saluted him respectfully, "I've met the second master."

The attitude towards this person is much better than the attitude towards Yuwenyi, which shows that this person's status in Yuwen's family is not low, and he is not the same as Yuwenyi.

Seeing him, Yu Wenyi got up immediately, and shouted happily, "Second Uncle, why are you here?"

The person who came was Yu Wenshi, the current head of the Yuwen family and the younger brother of Yu Wenhuaji.

Yu Wenhuaji is the eldest master, and Yu Wenshi is the second master. He is usually in charge of the affairs of the Black and White Erjiao Gang most of the time.

Yuwenshi can be said to be the immediate boss of the two, and speaking naturally works.
