Thirty, in the Red Plum Pavilion distinction is clear

  "Little brother, you've arrived just in time! We were just about to go drinking with a few big bosses from Suzhou!"

  Yu Guoning looked at Yu Guozhen with some complacency. During this time, the fifth elder had indeed stolen the spotlight. Although the two brothers didn't say it out loud, they were actually a bit resentful in their hearts, thinking that if the fifth elder could do something, they could too.

  After coming to Suzhou, they made up their minds to do something. Although it was only two days, they really pulled the door open and got acquainted with the owner of a large silk store in Suzhou.

  "The two brothers are indeed formidable." Yu Guozhen was not interested in drinking: "But now that things have been settled, we need to prepare to go back. We will also stop by Nanjing."

  "What's the hurry? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have rushed to finish things. This Suzhou city hasn't been properly explored yet!"

  "Really? Fifth brother... Hmm, who is she?"

  The two brothers were trying to find ways to stay in Suzhou for a few more days when they suddenly saw Liu Ruo Si following Yu Guo Zhen, and Yu Guo Ning asked in surprise.

  "Oh, a friend asked me to deliver this to a girl in Nanjing." said Yu Guozhen.

  "I've seen the two young masters." Although Liu Ruo Si thought that these two 18 or 19-year-old youths had a strong rural village air about them, she still stepped forward and paid her respects due to Yu Guo Zhen's face.

  Although she was not tall, she was lovely and charming, especially with her delicate eyebrows and bright eyes, which still had a hint of childishness. Yu Guoning and Yu Guan looked at each other and burst out laughing: "Old Five, you actually have this trick up your sleeve... we two brothers can't help but admit defeat!"

  These two are just a bit frivolous, but they don't have any malicious intentions. Yu Guozhen smiled and said: "The two brothers simply haven't had the opportunity to show off their skills, if they did, they would naturally be stronger than me."

  "That's natural, but Old Five, we have to keep our appointment for the wine party at noon today, or people will say that the Yu family is not trustworthy."

  Yu Guozhen smiled and asked Yu Guoning and Yu Guoan about how they met the shopkeeper, then asked them where they had agreed to meet. He said: "Since both of you have an appointment with him, let's go ahead of time."

  "Huh? It's still early?" Yu Guoan said in surprise.

  "It's okay, going early can also show our sincerity."

  Liu Ru was watching Yu Guo Zhen from behind, feeling very curious. Although she had not known Yu Guo Zhen for a long time, she vaguely felt that Yu Guo Zhen did not just go to see the big shopkeeper.

  They arrived at the agreed Xianlou, and it was still more than half an hour before noon. After entering, Yu Guo Ning brothers did not wait for two to open their mouths, and Yu Guo Zhen took the lead: "Can this building have a elegant room?"

  This Drunken Immortal Pavilion is a large tavern, and the Tiger Hill Pagoda can be seen from afar, so there are not few guests. When Yu Guozhen asked, the shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, we have elegant rooms..."

  He listed the names of six luxurious rooms, Yu Guozhen let him lead the way upstairs, and saw that besides "Peony Pavilion" which was agreed with the boss, there was also "Red Plum Pavilion", so he pointed and said: "We are having a small drink here, don't disturb us if it's not important."

  Xiao Er naturally understood, and then asked if he wanted a songstress to play the pipa to liven things up, but Yu Guozhen refused.

  At this time, Yu Guoning and Yu Guoan realized that something was wrong. They looked at each other in dismay: "Lao Wu, what do you mean by this?"

  "Watching a play with two elder brothers, let's take it easy." Yu Guozhen invited Liu Rushi to sit down: "Miss Rushi, please sit down. If you don't mind, would you like to sing two songs for us?"

  Liu Ruxi smiled slightly, although she didn't know what Yu Guozhen was going to do. She still sang two short songs in response, both of which were popular tunes at the time. However, she lowered her voice, so they didn't sound particularly good. Yu Guoning and Yu Guoan had no mood to listen to this, their hearts felt like a small cat scratching, itching uncomfortably.

  However, before they came out, Yu Yi-qin had instructed them that everything should be listened to by Yu Guo-zhen, and the family servant who followed was only Gao Bu-ping and Gao Er-zhu, so although they were unwilling, they could only endure.

  The business of this wine shop was quite good, and from time to time there were guests coming up. After waiting for about half a watch, the Yu brothers finally heard some familiar voices.

  "Is this the Peony Pavilion?"

  "It was here that I made an appointment with those two Anhui men, haha, they heard that there would be wine and music here, and immediately agreed."

  "Two rustic fellows from Anhui Province have also come to our Suzhou Prefecture, but these two country bumpkins surprisingly have a generous hand. I see them spending lavishly, could they be pirates from Chao Lake, making it easy for them to get silver and money?"

  Yu Guoning and Yu Guoan had already turned red with rage. At first, they had been lavishing praise on Yu Guozhen, saying that the Suzhou prefecture's governor was extremely polite to them, but now behind their backs he was scolding them as country bumpkins, fools, and even slandering them as water bandits!

  Yu Guozhen waved his hand at the two of them, signaling them to hold back for a moment. Just then, voices came from outside again, one of them saying: "Brothers, remember this, later we'll make those two idiots lose their pants!"

  "Big Brother Zhang just relaxes, we're not tricking this fool for the first time."

  The so-called elegant room in the wine building has a poor sound insulation effect, so they can hear it on this side, although not very clearly. As long as you calm down and listen carefully, you can still tell what they are saying. At this time, Yu Guozhen doesn't need to explain that Guoning and Guoan already know that the two of them have been deceived by a group of swindlers.

  "The time is almost here, don't say anything else, brothers, be careful that those two little fools are listening."

  "We arrived half an hour early, but they didn't expect us to be so quick. These two little fools are tender and delicate, if we get them into debt, we can sell them off to a wealthy family as child servants..."

  "Let me enjoy it first, hehe..."

  "Hmph! With me around, you still dare mention those things? What am I, a mere plaything for those two little rabbit gentlemen? Which one of them is better than me?"

  Inside there were both men and women, when they heard the woman's abusive language, Yu Guoan, who had a violent temper, could no longer bear it, and kicked the wall that separated the two parties with one foot.

  With a "bang", the noise from next door stopped.

  Liu Ruo watched Yu Guozhen, her eyes filled with surprise and admiration. Throughout the process, she had been watching as Yu Guozhen reunited with his two cousins, listened to their boasts, and then brought them here to wait for the swindlers to reveal themselves. Although she was young, she had a strong spirit and had long ago vowed to follow a great talent or hero. Now that she thought about it, Yu Guozhen might not be some kind of great talent, but his vision and methods were those of a true hero.

  As soon as this thought emerged, Liu Ruo's face was slightly flushed with a hint of redness. Could it be that she had been searching for heroes everywhere but the hero didn't appear, and in the end, this young man by her side was actually the hero?

  She was lost in thought when the door of the private room was suddenly kicked open: "Where did this dog come from, daring to disturb my drinking?"

  A rough-looking man burst in, with his shirt open and his hairy chest exposed, and began to curse loudly. Liu Ruo was so frightened that her face turned pale, and the blush that had just appeared on her cheeks disappeared, which made Yu Guozhen, who was looking at her, extremely angry.

  Although still young, Liu Ruyi is now a little beauty. Appreciating beautiful girls is every normal man's hobby, but this hobby has been ruined by someone.

  "Which damned dog kicked the wall just now?" the rascal shouted angrily.

  Yu Guoan and Yu Guoning were just ordinary village boys, but earlier Yu Guoan had kicked out in a moment of anger, now he was panicked. As the saying goes, "a person away from home is worthless", this wasn't some insignificant place, it was Suzhou Prefecture!

  So the two were frightened pale, and it took a long time to recover, but they were not as good as Liu Ruyi. After the initial shock, Liu Ruyi remembered that Zhang Yu had said that Yu Guozhen was a man who had beheaded pirates, so he shouldn't be afraid of such a rascal.

  Yu Guozhen sat motionless at the wine table, saying only one word: "Fight!"

  The tall and thin man with a dark complexion rushed over at the sound, and with just one move, he twisted that rascal's arm and sent him tumbling to the ground. The rascal's arm hurt like hell, but his mouth still managed to shout: "Big brother, Old Three, come quick, come quick!"

  Gao Bu Pang glanced at Yu Guo Zhen, saw him nodding, and a sly smile floated up to the corner of his mouth. He added a bit more force to his hand, and with a "ka" sound, that leather arm was taken down.

  He was originally skilled in horse trading in the northwest, and over the past three years of following Yu Guozhen, he had also learned some grappling and joint techniques. He was extremely proficient in how to make his enemies lose their combat effectiveness. The ruffian's strength was actually greater than his, but when he fell into his hands, he didn't even have the power to resist.

  When the loud shout was heard, the people in the next room had already rushed out and happened to arrive at the door. Gao Biao stretched out his hand and hooked it, pulling up the loudmouthed person, who collided with the people entering the door. However, the leader of the group entering the door was also very agile and quickly wrapped his arms around the loudmouthed person.

  "Big brother, my arm! My arm!" the rascal loudly cried out.

  "What kind of bandit are you, how dare you... Ah?"

  The man known as Big Brother was furious, about to shout, but his eyes landed on the Yu brothers and his expression changed instantly, the words that were about to come out of his mouth also being blocked.

  However, for a swindler like him, it's not the first time he's been exposed. Suzhou is currently in a state of extravagance and strife, so he's not afraid to see an official. He coldly smiled and said: "I was wondering who it was, turns out it's you people from Anhui, are you trying to be like a dragon crossing the river, coming to our Suzhou Prefecture to stir up trouble?"

  "You can't cheat, so you're preparing to rob openly?" Yu Guozhen smiled and said: "Why not come and try?"

  That big brother and Yu Guozhen's eyes met, originally he thought this young man was just the son of a rural landlord, but with this eye contact, his heart suddenly chilled. The young man had a smile on his face, but his eyes were icy cold, as if looking at a dead person!

  "Hmph, today's matter is far from over." The big brother took another look at Gao Biao and Gao Erzhuang standing on either side of the door, these two also had several lives in their hands, and there was a suppressed killing intent in their eyes. He was an impulsive person, pulling Duanbi's broken arm, slowly retreating outward.

  "Big brother, is it just going to end like this?" They walked downstairs, and the rascal gritted his teeth in pain.

  "These people have kung fu skills, we're outnumbered and can't defeat them. Moreover, they've got ruthless men under their command." The big brother lowered his voice: "Damn it, I didn't expect those two country bumpkins to have such a powerful backing. Let's retreat for now!"
