C51 (1/2)
The short Vajra Jade brought Wu Yuxue to the front of her house. Seeing the two servants standing outside the door, she asked, ”What's the matter at home?”
He saw his master ask.
One of the servants, an old man in his sixties stepped forward and said: ”Reporting to Master, I heard that Master met with trouble in the dining room. Master Zhu has brought four servants to meet you.”
Baoyu sneered, ”It must be Jiang Qi's blabbering again. What else do you want? Am I not back now?”
Old Cang answered with a ”yes” but then said slowly, ”This is Old Granny's intention …” ”It's not like I brought anyone with me just now …”
Bao Yu said, ”You ignorant fool, if there's anything you need to say, you can just say it in the upper room. Why are you trying to alarm the old lady? You deserve to die!”
The old servant only replied with a bitter smile, but he seemed to be hesitating to speak.
”Anything else?” The short Vajra Baobao asked.
”Yes.” The old servant took a step forward and said, ”Just now, there were two beggars who were walking around our house and inspecting it for a long time before the lord returned. When Li Daxi and I came out, the two of them left. ”
Bao Yu asked: ”What do these two beggars look like? But one is fat while the other is thin? ”
The two servants nodded in agreement.
Bao Yu understood. He glanced at Wu Yu Xue and said, ”Mr Wu, please come in to have a talk.”
Wu Yuxue was brought into the front hall. After taking her seat, there was a maidservant who served the noodle soup and tea. She was very considerate, but Baoyu took her leave temporarily, hurrying inside to meet her mother and report to her that she was well. After changing her clothes, she hurried back to the hall to apologize to Wu Yuxue.
Speaking of which, Wu Yuxue found out that the Baoyu household had a wife and two concubines, as well as an old lady. The mother of the family was the most filial, so she had to report to her mother about whatever happened in the family.
Wu Yuxue originally didn't have a good impression of Bao Yu, but seeing that his mother was very filial, she somewhat changed her opinion of him. After spending half a day with him, he realized that although he had some business habits, he was also a cheerful and straightforward person. He didn't lose his heroic nature and thus had a change of opinion about him.
The topic of conversation shifted to the fat, thin, and thin man he had just met.
Bao Yu asked, ”Mister, you just mentioned something about the Beggar's Gang, stop midway. Could it be that these beggars don't come from the Beggar's Gang?”
Wu Yuxue said, ”Just now, I was about to explain, because I saw them coming, so it's not convenient to say much. Could Brother Bao not see that these beggars all come from the Lu Province, and are in fact part of the main force of the Northern Beggar's Gang? ”
Bao Yu replied with an ”ah” and asked in a daze: ”But for us, the First Stage in Southern Anhui, it should be the territory of the Southern Cuisine Gang!”
”Exactly.” Wu Yuxue said slowly, ”A year ago, after the Northern Beggar's gang leader died of an incurable disease, Wu Yuxue said,” No need for that. In the end, this matter was still an unconfirmed case in the martial arts world. However, after seeing it today, I couldn't help but believe it to be true. ”
”What the hell is going on?” Bao Yu couldn't help but be extremely concerned.
Wu Yuxue took a sip of her tea and said slowly, ”It is said that after the leader of the Northern Cuisine Gang died, his two sons fought for the position of the leader. Their eldest son, Shi Wei, was powerful and had a solid foundation, so he decided to take charge of the gang; the second son, Shi Yun, was no match for him, so he led a few men and left the sect.”
Wu Yu Xue paused as she spoke. She looked at Bao Yu and asked, ”The young beggar who fought with you at the restaurant today is most likely Shi Yun himself.”
Bao Yuyi couldn't help but be shocked and said: ”No wonder. I've heard of the Tong brothers for a long time. No wonder he has such skills.” Sigh, if I knew that it was him, I wouldn't have acted so recklessly against him. ” As he shook his head and sighed, he felt extremely regretful.
Wu Yuxue said: ”The situation was not up to you. Since it had already happened, you don't have to blame yourself too much. Fortunately, things are not desperate. ”
”That's the only way.” The short Vajra Baoyu said.
Bao Yu looked eagerly at Wu Yuxue and asked: ”Is that person really Young Master Shi Yun?”
”I think it was him.” Wu Yuxue recalled the previous scene and said, ”Other than him, no one else has such an attitude. ”Take a look, is that young beggar more eccentric than the other beggars?”
Bao Yu nodded and said: ”That's true. ”But how do you know he's from the Northern Beggar's gang?”
”That's even more so.” Wu Yuxue said, ”These beggars all carry a deerskin pouch, which is the obvious sign.”
Bao Yu, who had long known that the b * tches helped the Tong brothers, was proficient in martial arts. He had never thought that he would have such a great enemy like this.
Wu Yuxue said, ”I can only guess. If that young beggar was really Shi Yun himself, then I'm afraid that he and I have already formed an alliance and would definitely come to find him. At that time, he would know himself exactly who he is. ”
Bao Yu heavily sighed and said, ”Speaking of which, it was all my fault... ”I've even caused you harm …”
The dwarf Diamond Bao Yu smiled bitterly and continued, ”I just think my martial arts is pretty good. Who knew that only when they met an expert today would they know that it would be impossible? Compared to you, Brother En, there's no need to even mention this. ”
Having said that, the dwarf Diamond Bao Yu's spirit rose. He said, ”Just now, Brother En and that young beggar were secretly competing. It was obvious that he lost, and perhaps he knew the difficulties and retreated. If that's the case, then I'll be counting on your blessings as well. ”
Wu Yuxue shook her head and said, ”I'm afraid not. If that young beggar is really Shi Yun, his tricks would be far more than that. His skills were superb, not to be trifled with. Occasionally, he would fail, and he might not be convinced. Furthermore, he has an even stronger helper behind him, so we must be on guard. ”
Bao Yu blurted out in shock, ”Ah!”
Wu Yuxue said, ”Just now, he mentioned the Shi brothers' internal conflict, and Tong Yun was forced to leave, not just him, the most capable elder of the Northern Frontier Gang and his father's senior brother Elder Bai. Because of that, he could not bear to see Shi Wei as a human, so he left the gang and went towards Shi Yun.”
”I don't really understand this matter yet.” Bao Yu said, ”Since Great Sect Master Shi has died, in terms of seniority, Brother Tong Wei is the leader. It should be him taking over the position of Sect Master. Since Shi Yun was a brother, how could he compete with him? This is his fault. ”
Wu Yu Xue shook her head and said, ”The matter is like this. Because Shi Da Zuo knew that children become dangerous, he immediately asked Shi Yun to succeed them. As expected, after his death, Shi Wei refused to accept his fate and turned into a battle between brothers. Long before his father died, he had already set up quite a bit of power. After a struggle, even though Shi Yun had the support of Elder Bai, he was still forced to distance himself from the large disparity in power. ”
Wu Yuxue thought for a while and said, ”This has only happened for a few months, so not many people know about it in the martial arts world. I never thought that they would come to Southern Anhui, but I wonder what their intentions are? ”
Bao Yu said, ”This matter is really puzzling. ”How about this, this yamen has a great deal to do with me, please ask them to step in …”
Wu Yuxue smiled and shook her head, ”This is the best way to go about it. These types of people were the most detestable to government officials. If they find out that you intend to use official figures to deal with them, they'll be irreconcilable. ”It's better if you give up on this idea.”
