The night is quiet and the lights are soft, but many people's hearts are already tense.
Chen Mukuan snorted coldly and said in a rough voice: "It turns out he's here too. Brothers, let's see if we surrender and give in, or have some fun with him."
Jiang Cheng frowned slightly and said, "Jiang Suiyun seems to be destined to win."
"Jiang Suiyun?" Yang Ning turned to Yuan Rong and asked, "Who is this?"
When those people heard Yang Ning's question, they couldn't help but look over with surprise on their faces. It seemed that it was natural for them to know Jiang Suiyun. Yang Ning's question was very strange.
Yuan Rong explained: "Jiang Suiyun, the eldest son of Donghai Jiang, is a member of the Donghai Jiang family. The Donghai Jiang family is engaged in maritime business and maritime trade. The head of the family, Jiang Xiaoqing, has a fleet of dozens of ships. If there is anyone in Da Chu who is truly rich and powerful, it must be the Jiang family."
"As rich as a country...!" Chen Mukuan sneered: "If we fight alone, we admit that we are no match for him, but... if we join forces, Jiang Suiyun is nothing." He looked at Zhu Yuchen. , said: "Brother Zhu, since he wants to play, let's play with him, and let's fight him in your name. What do you think?" He turned to Qiu Fang and Jiang Cheng and asked, "Don't you Do you want to back down?"
Jiang Chengwei hesitated, but Qiu Fang calmly said with a smile: "Brother Chen, if you want to make me laugh, Qiu will not remain indifferent." He said to the people below: "In the name of Mr. Zhu, take my two old ginseng trees." Send it over."
Chen Mukuan immediately became excited and shouted: "In the name of Mr. Zhu, send over the tea set I brought."
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment and finally said: "In the name of Mr. Zhu, I will give you another five hundred gold."
Zhu Yuchen smiled and said: "Several brothers are so supportive, so naturally I can't be left behind." He said in a deep voice: "Another eight hundred gold!"
The boat quickly passed by.
Yang Ning thought to herself that she really didn't understand the world of these rich people, so just to fight with Jiang Suiyun, it was shocking to take action at this moment.
Soon, I heard a voice from King Fang: "Master Zhu of Zhujiabu Village, I will give Shen Jiaonu one thousand three hundred gold, two top-quality old wild ginseng trees, priced at eight hundred gold, and an ancient tea set, priced at Six hundred jins, totaling 2,700 jins, Mr. Zhu is now giving a total of three thousand gold, ranking first!"
There was an uproar everywhere.
Although Yuan Rong was acquainted with these people, he was quite surprised when he saw what these people did. At this moment, they had already thrown away four thousand gold, which was enough for five hundred ordinary families for at least a year. It was just for a face. After spending a huge amount of money on a romantic woman, I shook my head secretly in my heart and just scolded these people for their money and stupidity.
With this move, no one took the lead anymore.
These princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen, and tycoons all know in their hearts that the current confrontation between the Jiang family of Donghai and the Zhu family of Hangzhou is going on. These two families are among the most wealthy in Chu. Previously, everyone rewarded them with prizes, firstly for fun, and secondly. I want to try my luck and see if I have a chance to fall into my arms.
Now that these two men are out, there is no need to take action again. No matter how generous you are, you can't beat these two people. In the end, Shen Jiaonu's guest can only be one of these two people.
King Fang reported what he said three times, but no one came forward with the money, and Jiang Suiyun seemed to have died down.
When Chen Mokuan saw this, he was very excited. He rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "It seems that Jiang Suiyun is nothing more than that. Brother Zhu, that kid can be considered a smart man who can retreat despite difficulties."
According to the rules, after reporting three times, if no one comes out with the winning number, the result can be announced. Shen Jiaonu is the last one to appear. The winning numbers of Qinhuai's Eight Beauties have also been determined, so the result can be announced between the Flower Queen and the Flower Concubine. name, and then announce the name of the patron.
But after waiting for a moment, there was no sound from Fang Wang.
Although Yang Ning was not involved, he keenly felt that something had changed.
At this moment, I heard footsteps coming from below, and then I heard someone exclaiming: "What are you going to do? Don't force your way in."
Then I heard a cold and stern voice say: "Get out of the way, anyone who dares to block the road will be killed without mercy."
Zhu Yuchen and others were shocked when they heard the sound.
I heard the sound of footsteps on the side of the ship, and soon there was a sound from the stairs. Within a moment, I saw a group of people rushing out of the stairs. One person at the front was wearing a black shirt, followed by five or six people, all of whom were wearing green shirts. They all wore a green headband.
After the man in the black shirt came up, he stood there and glanced around. He was like a ghost blending into the night, mysterious and indifferent, and his eyes were gleaming with a deathly gray color.
Zhu Yuchen and others were all extremely wealthy young men. When they looked at them, they didn't know whether they knew the man in black or not, and there was a look of contempt in his eyes.
He walked up slowly, but Yang Ning felt someone suddenly approaching him. She turned her head slightly and saw that Duan Canghai had come closer to him at some point, and one hand had already grasped the handle of the sword at his waist.
"Who is Zhu Yuchen?" The man in black's eyes cut across several people like a blade, and his voice was cold and bone-chilling.
Zhu Yuchen frowned, hesitated for a moment, then finally took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "I am Zhu Yuchen, what do you do for me?"
He naturally knew that the person who came was not good, so he was quite careful with his words.
"You guys should be Jiangcheng of Songjiang Tea House, Chen Mukuan of Weitang Porcelain...!" The man in black clothes turned his eyes, "My master asked you to come over."
His voice was rather cold and rude.
Chen Mukuan couldn't help but said: "Who are you and who is your master? If you let us go, we will go there. Why? If your master wants to see us, just ask him to come over by himself. We don't have time to go over."
The man in black said calmly: "If you don't go there now, you won't have a chance to go there again."
"Are you threatening us?" Zhu Yuchen said in a deep voice.
The man in black snorted coldly and said: "It's not my turn to threaten these clowns." He raised his hand and said: "The boat is waiting below, let's go now...!" He added: "Everyone present, They all have to go.”
Duan Canghai took a step forward, but Yang Ning had already raised his hand to stop him and said with a smile: "Since someone invited us to drink, it's no use if we don't go. Let's go, everyone, go and have a look and see who Fang Sheng is holding such a grand event." .”
The man in black stared at Yang Ning, then glanced at Duan Canghai, paused briefly, but said nothing. He walked to the side of the ship, shook his arms, jumped up, and jumped off the side of the ship like an eagle. , landed steadily on the boat below, and the boat didn't even sway.
The people who followed the man in black immediately divided into two lines and stood at the top of the stairs. One person said in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
Zhu Yuchen hesitated for a moment, and finally walked over first, and the others could only follow. Yuan Rong looked at Yang Ning, and when he was about to speak, Yang Ning smiled and shook his head, indicating that Yuan Rong didn't need to say more, and followed him.
There were several small boats waiting under the boat. Several people got on the boat and soon arrived at a very gorgeous boat. This boat was much more exquisite and gorgeous than the boat where Pearl was, although it was not as beautiful as the King of Boats. It is huge, but the decoration seems to be even more exquisite and luxurious than that of Fang Wang.
As soon as they got on the boat, they saw a man in Tsing Yi with a sword every few steps away from the side of the boat. There were no one knows how many people there were in a circle around the side of the boat.
These men in green clothes were all armed with single swords, and their expressions were cold and solemn. Each of them was like a stone sculpture, motionless.
This painting boat looks more like a warship, with a murderous aura.
As soon as Zhu Yuchen and others got on the boat and saw the formation, they knew that the owner of the black-shirted man must have a great background. He felt cold all over and was quite frightened. Even Yuan Rong frowned, and only Yang Ning remained calm and calm. The breeze was gentle, with his hands behind his back, he looked around, as if he was admiring the decoration of the boat. Duan Canghai followed Yang Ning with a saber, looking solemn.
"Hand over your weapons." A group of people, led by a man in Tsing Yi, walked to the stairs. After several others went up, Duan Canghai was stopped by someone just as he was about to go up the stairs.
Duan Canghai said calmly: "Get it yourself!"
The man in Tsing Yi's face turned cold, and he reached out to grab the sword at Duan Canghai's waist. Before his fingertips touched the scabbard, he felt a strong wind blowing towards his forehead. This man reacted quickly. , hurriedly took a step back, and when he looked up, he found an iron fist just a few inches in front of his eyes. The opponent only needed to move forward a little more to hit him in the face.
"Choke choke choke!"
There was a sound of drawing a sword, and several men in Tsing Yi on the side were already attacking him. They were extremely fast and surrounded Duan Canghai, with all their blades facing Duan Canghai.
Yang Ning looked back and smiled lightly: "They want to take your knife. Unless you die, they can kill as many as they want. I will be responsible for killing people."
When Zhu Yuchen and others heard the noise behind them, they all stopped and turned around to look down. They were shocked when they saw several people surrounding Duan Canghai with knives. But when they heard what Yang Ning said, they were even more stunned. In this situation, there were so many people on the other side. There was a lot of power, and one could tell at a glance that the backstage was very strong and had an advantage. I really didn’t expect that Yang Ning would dare to say such a thing in this situation.
Until now, they only know that Yang Ning is Yuan Rong's friend, and maybe his status is not low, but after all, they don't know Yang Ning's true background.
After receiving Yang Ning's instructions, Duan Canghai's originally stern expression relaxed a little and said with a smile: "These little brats are not difficult to deal with."
The faces of the men in green were stern, and someone shouted: "Take it first!"
Someone was about to strike with a knife, but suddenly a cold voice said: "Stop, let him come up!"
Yang Ning looked up and saw the man in black standing at the top of the stairs. The group of people in green were obviously in awe of him. After giving the order, the people in green immediately dispersed.
Yang Ning walked up the stairs slowly, thinking in her heart, how could such a magnificent boat appear on the Qinhuai River? He originally suspected that it was Jiang Suiyun who called Zhu Yuchen and the others over, but even if Jiang Suiyun was the richest in the world, he would not have the courage to show off like this on the Qinhuai River in the capital. It was fine to show off his wealth, but leading a large number of guards with swords, then It's just asking for death.
