Chapter 39 Huo Gang's Revenge

Yun Chen, if you agree, you can be my personal guard.

It wasn't until the shocking incident in the main hall of the front hall, when the Huo family members were discussing matters, that Yun Chen finally understood the true meaning of this sentence:

Yun Chen, if you are willing, I will give my life to you.

Yun Chen has always been calm and indifferent, keeping a distance from everything.

She always felt that as a guard, her life belonged to the benefactor she had never met.

Although she was close to Huo Bang and Huo Gannian, she was unable to cross the last door of their hearts.

But now she realized that even though he knew that she had a benefactor in her heart, Huo Gannian still entrusted his life and property to her.

The fourth personal guard is not just talk, the position of the young master of the Huo family is not that easy to sit on.

It was just that she spent too much time with Huo Gannian and saw how easy-going he was towards her, which almost made her forget that he was such a ruthless and murderous person.

Someone who is in danger all the time and needs her full protection.

Huo Gannian had already given his true heart to her.

But her heart is not true and pure enough.

When she thought of this, she felt particularly guilty and indebted.

Although she had a new wound on her hand, which made it very difficult for her to hold the sword, she still insisted on replacing Hua Jue and going to handle the large-scale external mission of besieging the Yu Family Wharf.

She felt that she had to exert all her strength to repay Huo Gannian's kindness.

She kept this thought in her heart and didn't say it out loud.

Huo Gannian seemed to have guessed something, and without saying anything, he called her over before leaving, tied the handkerchief on her hand, and said softly:

"Go ahead. The kitchen has just made some black pear cakes. We'll try them when you come back."

She knelt on one knee in front of Huo Gannian, looked up at him with her big, stubborn eyes, and responded loudly.

Who would have thought that this trip would last three months.

The news that Yu Yangji failed to persuade Huo Shuming to rebel and instead caused the murder of Huo Xiaohan's family quickly spread throughout the country of Nan.

With the "example" of Huo Xiaohan's family in front of them, other members of the Huo family would avoid the Yu family like the plague when they saw them, even if it was just a chance encounter.

But how can we just eliminate the internal troubles? The Huo Gang cannot lose face. They must avenge the fact that "Huo Xiaohan's family has no descendants".

With Nan Lijun's secret support, the Huo Gang quickly won the ship trade with the foreign island country.

In just a few dozen days, 3,000 iron and wooden assault ships sailed all over the Luozi River Grand Canal, unscrupulously entering half of the Yu family's shipping route.

The Huo Gang usually acts like a bandit, and now with "revenge" in their heart, they are even more domineering and overbearing.

He broke into the Yu family's territory and met the Yu family's guards and thugs. He started beating them up as soon as they disagreed with him, which made the Yu family members so angry that they kept calling him a "mad dog of the Huo gang."

In the end, the Yu family was forced into a corner and simply reported the matter to the police.

As a result, Nan Lijun had already taken care of all the government offices in the towns on both sides of the canal. Every time, he would arrive late to clean up the situation after the Huo gang had already beaten the Yu family to a pulp.

All those who were watching the "Huo Yu conflict" thought that it would end here, but who knew that this was just the beginning.

The Huo Gang was unable to break into the 3,000 iron and wooden assault ships of the Yu family's shipping, and twelve people were killed on each ship.

As soon as hundreds of ships docked, nearly a thousand people immediately rushed into the nearest dock, burned the ships and smashed the oars, severely damaging the Yu family's ships, cutting off the masts and burning the hulls.

Then, using both deception and threats, they dragged a large number of temporary employees of the Yu family into the Huo Gang's dock, and forced them to sign contracts with twice the wages.

The hired servants were confused. They only knew that they were members of the Yu family half an hour ago, but half an hour later, they changed their surname to Huo, and the silver in their pockets doubled.

Then, the Huo Gang members rushed into the nearest Yu Family Hall, and attacked it in a huge crowd. They directly dismantled the roof and beams, threw away the Yu Family plaque, and hung the Huo Gang's lion head at the door of the hall.

All the members of the Yu family in the hall were killed or beaten, and many were directly framed with false charges and thrown into jail.

Wherever in the city the Yu family kept their merchant contracts, the Huo Gang would steal if they could, rob if they couldn't, or simply burn them down if they couldn't rob, leaving the Yu family with no land deeds or contracts to prove anything.

Wave after wave of Huo's gang members took turns to fight, without any rules, but in an orderly manner with clear division of labor, making the Yu family unable to tell east from west and north and confused.

Three months later, when the Yu family finally realized what was happening, they realized that this was not a revenge or insult at all, but a robbery that had been planned from the very beginning!

However angry the Yu family was, the more than 20 shipping docks that originally belonged to the Yu family had been handed over to the Huo Gang.

The lawsuit was brought to the imperial court, but they were unable to do anything about the Huo gang, a group of "bandits."

In the end, they had no choice but to promulgate new regulations overnight, requiring that all land contracts signed by merchants must be submitted to the court for archiving.

Huo Bang single-handedly changed the commercial laws of the entire Nan Kingdom.

To accomplish this important task, Ye Yan, Buyan and Yun Chen, along with nearly a thousand members of the Huo Gang, worked day and night and finally completed it successfully.

When Yun Chen and others finished their work and returned to Yancheng, it was already the Little New Year.

The ancestors of the Huo family were from the north and did not have the custom of celebrating the Little New Year, but their ancestors had stayed in Yancheng for a long time. Every Little New Year, each courtyard would prepare a small meal and have a little fun.

This year is the most complete and lively time for the royal guards.

There were no major casualties throughout the year, and the guards in the yard were all familiar with each other.

Huo Gannian allowed them to take turns drinking and gave them even better rewards. The guards cheered and all of them were smiling.

A long table was set up in the courtyard of Beining Hall, and wine and meat were placed on it. The guards ate and drank round after round.

There was a small table in the middle hall. The food and wine on the table had been eaten into a mess. There was no one sitting on the seat except for rice residue and wine stains.

Ye Yan, Hua Jue, Buyan and Yun Chen, the four of them hid in the inner bedroom, sitting on fur mats on the floor, surrounding Huo Gannian, drinking wine, eating peanuts and black pear cakes around the warm little clay stove.

Logically speaking, it is safest to leave one personal guard on duty.

But now the "Huo Yu dispute" has become too serious. Yu Yangji directly reported it to the emperor. The whole world is watching the Huo Gang, and no one dares to assassinate them at this time.

The Huo Mansion had a rare moment of peace and quiet, so Huo Gannian persuaded Ye Yan to ask the guards to relax.

We are always on edge from day to day life and it is rare for us to get together for a drink.

The four of them quickly got drunk and began to recount their heroic deeds during their "guard" careers. Huo Gannian sat quietly by the side, listening to their boasts with a gentle smile on his face.

Ye Yan stared with red eyes from drinking, and said with great pride:

"I was still young then, about the same age as Ah Chen is now. I single-handedly charged into the bandit camp and fought the bandit leader for two hundred rounds. At dawn, I chopped off his head with a single blow!"

Bu Yan gave a thumbs up, recalled his past, and sighed:

"Actually, I never thought of becoming a guard. It was mainly because my old man had someone tell my fortune and said that if I stayed in our family for too long, I would suffer misfortune. So he told me to join the army. And you know what, I actually joined the Cavalry Battalion, but the sergeant thought I was too talkative and just sent me to the kitchen to cook. How could I stand that? I just resigned and left!"

Ye Yan was shocked when he heard this. "You're joining the army and you're resigning? Are you a deserter?"

Buyan waved his hands repeatedly, "How could that be! Normally, they wouldn't let me resign. I went to the captain and talked to him a few times, and each time it took two hours, and he signed my resignation. Later, when I left the Cavalry Battalion, I..."

"Hey, hey, hey! The wine is almost cold, drink two pots first!" Seeing Buyan was nagging again, Hua Jue hurriedly blocked his mouth with wine.

Yun Chen was the youngest, and as they chatted and laughed, the topic unconsciously turned to her.

Without saying a word, he gestured and sighed:

"You were so fierce on this mission! You were always the first one to charge forward! Many times, before I could even see how many people were on the opposite side, you were already flying out. I just knocked one down, and everyone on your side fell! Do you know that there were a few times that were quite dangerous? The tip of the knife of the Yu family dog ​​was right next to your back, and I saw that you didn't care at all. How can you be so fearless?"

After hearing this, Huo Gannian next to him narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Yun Chen carefully again.
