Volume 1 Chapter 154: Clouded Leopard Xu Jiu (4)

  Chapter 154: Cloud Leopard Xu Jiu (Four)

  Three mothers said that this sentence does not need to be said is self-inflicted, acknowledging that she is informed and helped Huo Ba set up the Dragon Gate Array.

  "Miss Worry-Free, it's not that I'm looking for trouble on purpose. This is an invitation card from Yun Bao Xu Jiu, he invited me to dinner at the Worry-Free Pavilion tonight. But he didn't show up, instead, Huo Ba came. This tea water, even if it was poisoned by him, San Mama clearly knew about it too. The three of us were trying to make friends, but Huo Ba brought so many henchmen to attack us. If I hadn't asked you to intervene, I would have suffered in silence, wouldn't that be unjust? You should know that the Worry-Free Pavilion is a business, and all guests are treated equally, can't play favorites. Today's poor guest may become tomorrow's noble person. One look at Miss Worry-Free's demeanor, others may not understand, but you should understand this principle."

  Wu You couldn't say a word, because the other person's words were all reasonable. She wanted to refute them, but wouldn't that just make her seem narrow-minded and petty? Moreover, on the contrary, someone like her who could do business so successfully was indeed understanding and reasonable, not comparable to ordinary women. Listening to Mo Zi's straightforward and elegant speech, Wu You herself felt less contemptuous.

  "What is this young man's name?" The first step of being sincere is to ask for one's name and surname.

  "In the lower seats, there's a certain gentleman." As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes darted over. The certain gentleman who was watching the play above, smiled even more deeply.

  "Mo Ge, I really don't know what happened tonight. It seems like someone is using a chicken feather as an arrow, thinking they can take charge in this Worry-Free Pavilion." Wu You looked coldly at San Mama, who lowered her head with a guilty conscience. "As for the matter of the tea water having been tampered with, I must investigate until the truth comes to light. If it was indeed done by someone from my Worry-Free Pavilion, regardless of whether they were coerced or instructed, I won't say another word and will give you 1,000 taels of silver as an apology gift."

  Mozi has met many formidable men, one after another, but women are almost all confined to the inner quarters, fighting among themselves. Except for Qiu San Niang, I haven't seen any woman who is not inferior to men. This Wu You is the second one. In this restrictive Zhou Dynasty, it's rare to meet such a woman.

  She bowed with her fists together, "Miss Worry-Free is indeed a straightforward person, I admire you. If we can investigate and clear up the right and wrong, I would be eternally grateful. As for this thousand taels of silver, I will not accept it. The person behind the scenes, both you and I probably have an idea who it is. A debt has its owner, Miss Worry-Free has already agreed to help me out, so naturally I won't let Worry-Free Pavilion bear a bad reputation."

  One thousand taels and one person's life, which is lighter and which is heavier?

  Carefree listened, and felt that this person was not ordinary. Although he was dressed normally, he had a broad-minded chest. He smiled lightly and said, "Moke is also a sentimental person, Wu You is thanking Moke here. Since you are generous, I cannot be petty. The Xujiu who came to find you is right here with me. However, I bet he doesn't know what his eighth brother is up to, otherwise it wouldn't have gotten to this point."

  Mozhi saw a young man pointing at him from a short distance away.

  "Ah, this dark-faced brother with a face like a pot bottom is the famous Leopard Gang's Xu Jiu, Ninth Master. Although I can handle my own subordinates, the matter of He Lao Ba framing you under false pretenses doesn't fall under my jurisdiction. You go find him to appeal. Once I investigate and verify the facts, please come again, and I'll treat you to good wine and food. The ladies of Wuyou Pavilion, you can choose anyone to accompany you, no questions asked."

  As soon as she finished speaking, someone in the group said, "How about Miss Mo Xiu?"

  Carefree eyes flowing between, charm surges up, many men can't help but stare with wide eyes.

  "Not bad, Mo Xiu is the daughter of Wu You Ge, if Mo Ge chooses her, I'll help her out too." Her boss didn't say a word, but whoever was below her had to follow the rules. But if she insisted, even if it was the number one red card or the top courtesan, they still had to listen to her.

  The men below let out envious sighs.

  Mozi hesitated for a moment on whether to respond to such enthusiasm, and just as he was about to speak up, Yuan Cheng's raised eyebrows and stifled smile made him swallow his words. If Mozi were to pretend to be a playboy, this person would probably laugh so hard they'd fall over.

  He has a warm and jade-like appearance, but his expression is not warm at all, it's quite the opposite.

  "Xu Jiu, you must help me resolve the matter with Mo Ge properly. Otherwise, don't come to Wu You Lou again to invite me for dinner." Wu You's beautiful eyes, even when staring fiercely, could make men infatuated.

  Carefree finished speaking, bowed to Yuan Cheng with a smile, and said in a gentle voice, "I'm honored to meet you today, sir. I hope you'll come visit us often. Unfortunately, I have some pressing matters to attend to, so I must take my leave now."

  Yuan Cheng still sat by the railing, without even looking at Wu You, "Mother Wu You just go ahead, Yuan Mou has just found a good lychee and is in high spirits."

  She was lost in thought, thinking that such a person seemed to have no interest in those beautiful women, only talking to Xu Jiu and others at the banquet, and hardly touching the wine and dishes. But now he said he had found something fun. Could it be that he was like those vulgar men who loved to watch fights and arguments? Seemingly noble, but not so in essence? She couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and without saying anything else, she left the crowd watching the commotion and turned towards the inner building.

  Worry spoke to Yuan Qing in a soft voice, her tone changing from appreciation to coldness, making Mozi think that Yuan Qing must have said something wrong to offend the beautiful boss. At the same time, she found that San Mama was nowhere to be seen, probably summoned by Worry to ask about the situation.

  Look at that man in the magnificent attire, with a dark complexion but handsome face, square and robust facial features, bright and spirited eyes, full forehead, bulging temples, able to praise his tall and sturdy build, but dressed meticulously. A cyan python robe, a silver jade belt, what catches people's attention is the white gold ring on his arm, two fingers wide, with engraved cloud leopard patterns, exuding a refined yet bold and unrestrained aura.

  Mozi hadn't spoken yet when Xujiu opened his mouth, his voice deep and resonant. "Is my eighth brother still unconscious?"

  "Zan Jin kicked and punched, replacing Mo Zi with an answer. "How are you still dizzy? I just hit him with one punch, kicked him once, and used the sword scabbard to tap his shoulder well point. Because Brother Mo said not to hurt people's lives, I don't know how much strength is good, fortunately, I practiced on that group of people before, otherwise, I might have been killed in one go. But being dizzy for so long, will it still be my heavy hand? Brother Mo, what to do? Will we get into trouble? To say, this king eight's, really can't take a punch. I saw him with a beard, thinking he was as fierce as my dad, but it turns out he's not even as strong as a wild bear in the mountains."

  Zan Jin's internal power and his external skills are equally high.

  Xu Jiu heard the nonsense, let out a loud shout, "My Leopard Gang rules, brothers are like hands and feet, hurting my brother is like hurting my own hand or foot. First, don't discuss right or wrong, big guy, since you knocked my Eighth Brother unconscious, I must settle this with you. Or, you can punch yourself once, kick yourself once, stab yourself once, then I'll let it go."

  What kind of rule is this? Let Zan fight himself, Xu Jiu can't even be counted, why can't she? She's the victim here.

  At this time, a middle-aged woman came forward and whispered a few words in Xu Jiu's ear.

  Xu Jiudian nodded and said loudly, "Mo Ge, with so many people watching, if things go wrong, we'll offend Wu You Mama. Why don't you come up first and sit down? We can drink wine while discussing the date of the competition."

  Purple ink does not get angry and smiles, this Xu Jiu is straightforward or really afraid that Wuyou will not let him come? However, he said one thing right, it's not easy to do things in front of so many people. Just now, it was necessary to use the momentum of the masses to force out the master of Wuyou Pavilion. Now, it has entered the stage of private reconciliation.

  She said it was good and crisp, which made Xu Jiu Zan praise Mo Ge for being straightforward.

  Mozi couldn't help but let him praise lightly. When facing others, Xu Jiu would always find fault with Zan, so how could they reconcile privately?

  To enter Xu Jiuyou's room, someone behind her said, "Mo Ge, if you need Yuan Mou's help, just say so, the one-month period is still valid."

  Mei Zi stopped in her tracks, feeling that Yuan Cheng had also stopped. She turned around and smiled at him, "Sir Yuan, what makes you say that? We've only just met, how can I ask for your help so boldly? If sir has the heart to watch a show, I'll put on a good performance for you." Anyway, this supporting actor wants to rise to the top, who's going to stop him.

  Yuan Cheng gazed at her smiling face, and he smiled even more radiantly. "Since Mo Ge says so, Yuan will just observe from the side."

  "Adults, please enjoy the show." Hmph.

  Xu Jiu said, "Moge, please come in."

  Mozi Yuancheng then went in, one in front and one behind, as if they were unrelated people, each sitting at one end.

  The door closed, and Mozi sized up the third man in the room. He was over forty years old, with a stout body, a dense beard, and a missing patch of eyebrow. Since his appearance, he had been silent, his expression seemingly weighed down by heavy thoughts. The beauty beside him also seemed to have no interest in romance.

  There are six beauties in this house, two sitting in the corner doing nothing, two beside Fat Big silently, and two behind Xu Jiu holding wine pots and cups, all wearing flower-patterned clothes.

  "Mo Ge, I know that our Leopard Gang's rules are somewhat unreasonable, but since we're all in this together on the rivers and lakes, loyalty is paramount. My Eighth Brother invited you here under my name, mostly because of the 1,500 taels owed by the Lin family. I deeply feel that Mo Ge has spoken reasonably, and have already sent someone to find Lin Daren, so there's no need to ask Lin Zhen Niang for the debt again. It's just that my brother is infatuated with Lin Zhen Niang's beauty and wants to take her as a concubine; now that things haven't gone his way, he's got a bit of a grudge. If it weren't for women, he wouldn't have resorted to such despicable tactics. This cup of wine, I'll drink first to apologize on behalf of Eighth Brother to the three of you." With a beckoning hand, the beauty comes over to pour more wine.

  "This mistake is not yours, Master Jiu doesn't need to apologize. It's a gentle attitude towards Wu You, but a tough one towards Xu Jiu. 'Master Jiu means that even if you drink this wine, you'll still look for trouble with us few people, right?'"

  "Moh Ge, if I don't avenge Eighth Brother, it won't be good for the leader and other brothers either." After saying that, brotherhood is like hands and feet, reason can be set aside.

  "May I ask, Ninth Master, to what extent is this anger supposed to be vented?" Mozi asked according to his own understanding, "Cut off an arm, or chop off a leg, or stab a hole in the body?"

  "As long as Big Brother is willing to let bygones be bygones, this is indeed a win-win solution." Xu Jiu, Xu Hunhun, are truly capable of handling matters in the jianghu way.

  Even if I'm still a bit confused, I know what you mean. I stared at Lao Da with wide eyes, as if there was a chopping board in front of me.

  Merry Christmas, everyone.

  I should have been on double shift, but I had a high fever and was weak in the second shift, sorry.

  Will be back as soon as possible.
