Volume Four: East China Sea Raging Waves Chapter 126: Xiao He's Wrath(1/2)
In the morning in Yunjing, there was a sound of street sweepers sweeping the stone pavement with big brooms on the street.
When Xiao He woke up from his sleep, the sun was just shining on his bed.
"Master, are you awake?"
The maid knocked on the door and asked softly. Xiao He stood up, moved his neck, and then rubbed his ten fingers together until they made a clicking sound.
"Well, I'm awake, come in."
After hearing Xiao He's promise, several well-dressed maids walked into Xiao He's room carrying washing basins.
Every morning, Mr. Xiao has to wash his face with warm water and apply a lot of skin care products.
Pearl paste, mushroom water, and a cup of Polygonum multiflorum tea.
Not only did he make his face extremely handsome, but he also gave him a head of black and thick hair.
"Master, your skin is getting clearer day by day."
The maid helped Xiao He hold the mirror. Xiao He looked at his face and smiled with satisfaction.
As someone who ranks ninth among the top ten young people in the cloud, he naturally has to pay attention to his appearance at all times.
Although he ranks ninth in terms of strength, in terms of appearance and attention, no one in Yunjing should be able to match him!
The morning meal is naturally light. Tremella and lotus seed soup with rice cakes is his breakfast.
Mr. Xiao must read the Yunjing Times, which is published once a day in the morning. It contains many interesting stories about Yunjing.
"Miss Chen's family showed up at Zui Lanting last night, and she drank with many big figures in the academic world."
"Wen Xiangju's big news yesterday, Mr. Xue was not only expelled but also brutally beaten!"
Seeing this news in the Yunjing Times, Mr. Xiao's brows relaxed a lot.
"Ms. Chen's cocktail party with the big guys in the academic world is naturally an attempt to win over the academic community."
"It seems that the ambitions of the Chen family are not small. There are people in the Rites Department and Zhongzhou Mu. Now, is Miss Chen going to enter the academic world again?"
Mr. Xiao took a sip of the lotus seed soup, took a small bite of the rice cake and then commented:
"I really can't stand these two young masters of the Xue family. The children of the merchant family should learn to be forbearing."
"Isn't the Yuan family the best example? If you don't keep your tail between your legs, you will be targeted sooner or later!"
The maid listened to what Mr. Xiao said and catered to him. Mr. Xiao was not only powerful and well-read in poetry, but also had unique insights into current affairs.
When Xiao He opened the next page, he was completely shocked by the content of this page.
The four huge characters took up nearly half of the page!
Such an exaggerated beauty is definitely the layout designed by those crazy scholars from Kirin Academy!
To attract attention with such an exaggerated layout, no one except those damn scholars could do it.
"The Indomitable Hero? What kind of weird title is this?"
"Only the Jianghu section forty years ago would use such a vulgar title!"
Although Xiao He complained quite harshly, he still read the content of this page carefully.
As a result, I couldn’t read even half way through it.
Xiao He put the newspaper on the table and sighed heavily.
"What does the second prince want to do?"
"You actually let these damn scholars write such nonsense?"
"Is it just to flatter Yang Min? Is this really worth it?"
Xiao He shook his head, always feeling that the second prince was too unreliable.
Recently, due to the Yuan family's affairs, various restaurants and families are gradually alienating the Yuan family.
Many restaurants that originally relied on the Yuan family's huge funds to survive have now been taken over by other banks. It can be said that the Yuan family's life has not been easy recently.
Although a sum of cash was obtained from the sale of capital and equity, the newly expanded stores and new territories under management are all being called for debt again.
If you make up for it here and pay it over there, the Yuan family will have very little liquidity left.
Because the Yuan family lost the powerful assistant of the eldest prince, the assets of the Yuan family were directly affected.
There's a big problem with expansion.
As a result, the second prince directly interfered and fanned the flames. Not only did Yang Ming become an idol star, but he also stepped on the Yuan family heavily.
It is said that the Yuan family made trouble for the new young hero, made things difficult for him in every possible way, and even tried to harm the young hero, which directly put the Yuan family in an unkind and unjust position.
Qilinyuan and Jianghu Monthly are basically chess pieces laid down by the Second Prince. They will blow whatever direction public opinion takes.
Until now, the Yuan family is just a piece of rotten meat, and even the stray dogs on the street probably don't want to take a look.
Originally, the eldest prince wanted to take advantage of the limelight and bring the Yuan family up again, but now, it's completely out of the question!
Yuan Enhong, the Minister of Household Affairs, directly stated his position that all the property of the Yuan family should belong to the state and should be handed over to the national treasury!
He also took the initiative to hand over part of his property to protect himself.
Yuan Enhong wants Mingzhe to protect himself, but that doesn't mean that other people in the Yuan family are willing to do the same!
The gentlemen of the Yuan family, who are used to living a prosperous life, are reluctant to part with the assets that their family has accumulated over the years!
"The second prince is a bit unreasonable. It's one thing to praise Yang Ming, but he has to punish the Yuan family to death?"
"If the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, no one will get any good results!"
Just when Xiao He had almost finished his breakfast, the maid hurriedly came up to report.
"Sir, there is someone outside who insists on meeting you, saying he is an acquaintance of yours."
"Acquaintances? I have been traveling around with Master all year round, and I have only been back for half a month. Do you have any acquaintances in Yunjing?"
Just as Xiao He was thinking, a voice came that made him frown.
"Brother Xiao! Have you finished eating? I will come in when you finish eating!"
Yang Ming completely ignored the maid's obstruction and walked in with a stick in hand and a big grin on his face. When he saw Xiao He who was wearing a loose nightgown, he saluted with a smile on his face.
"Brother Xiao, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much!"
"This time I know how to ask, what do you want from me?"
Although Xiao He didn't like Yang Ming's careless temperament, his ability to say hello and salute this time was indeed an improvement compared to last time.
Reluctantly, Xiao He just listens to what this kid wants to do with him.
"After having a discussion with Brother Xiao last time, I have a deep understanding! I feel that Brother Xiao is really accomplished in controlling flames!"
"This is not to trouble Brother Xiao, but to give me another provocation. It is also to see the power of Brother Xiao's soul-refining sky fire again!"
If Yang Ming had to say it himself, then he would definitely not be able to say these words. This time he came to Xiao He, and the second prince helped him arrange the words properly!
It was written on the third page of the book "The Unyielding Boy and the Difficult Challenge of the Xiao Family Genius".
Yang Ming, who was established in Sanqing, was quite confident about carrying things on his back, but he was not unable to carry things on his back.
When Xiao He heard this, did this guy come to discuss feelings?
Coming all the way to discuss with him so early in the morning, he must have been prepared, so Xiao He naturally had to take it seriously!
"Okay, since Chef Yang wants to compete with me, let me change my clothes, and I will try two tricks with you!"
Faced with Yang Ming who came to ask for advice sincerely, Xiao He naturally had to take it seriously!
After finishing breakfast, I hurried back to put on my clothes, picked up the folding fan and went to the courtyard of the Xiao family.
Usually no one comes to the compound where Xiao He lives, and Xiao Jie and Xiao Peng have nothing to do with Xiao He. After all, although they are brothers, they are completely different people.
Therefore, the location of Xiao He's courtyard is relatively remote. If it is remote, there is an advantage, that is, it is spacious.
"Is Chef Yang ready? If so, I'm going to take action!"
Xiao He folded his fan and shook out a breath of real fire, and a small flame appeared from his hand.
"Come on! Brother Xiao!"
Yang Ming held the stick and said. At this time, Yang Ming was already very different from the person he was when they were fighting against each other that day.
That
The biggest difference is that he has understood the "meaning".
Yang Ming's intention was like thunder that shook the sky. It was silent at first, but after accumulating strength, it exploded directly on the ground!
The folding fan in Xiao He's hand began to stir, and the real fire in his hand gradually became solidified. This time, what was condensed was not a simple fireball.
But the ever-lifelike Spearow!
Compared with the huge fireball, the Spearow poses a greater threat to Yang Ming, because the fireball is a dead thing after all, and the Spearow, which is like a living thing, can change its moves at any time!
So, Xiao He is going to really use his fire control skills to have a real contest with Yang Ming this time!
Under the control of Xiao He, the Sparrow shot directly towards Yang Ming. Yang Ming was motionless at this time, with no breath in his body.
