The ancient city of Yangzhou.
Why?
They were all peerless figures in history.
In different eras, at different times.
One after another, they came here?
…
Slender West Lake, by the Twenty-Four Bridges Lake.
A few rich young men and women in upper-class clothes were talking to each other under the moonlight.
One of them was a young man in a light blue tuxedo. He held a wine glass in his hand and shook it gently.
"Young Master Qu, what do you think?"
The young man's words attracted everyone's attention.
The man called Young Master Qu was handsome and wore a black tuxedo.
His aura was calm.
It seemed that his identity and status were at the top of this group of young men and women.
Looking at the different looks in everyone's eyes.
There was awe.
There was worship.
There was flattery.
There was also a little fear in their eyes.
Qu Tianyuan, the young master of a rich family from Su Yang's territory, couldn't help but feel happier.
He took a sip of red wine, and his eyes showed that he was enjoying it. Looking at everyone, he pretended to be profound and said lightly,
"Why don't you guess why?"
"I think those big shots are just here to look for beauties," a slightly younger teenager replied.
"After all, there are records from ancient times that beauties come from ancient Yangzhou."
However, as soon as the young man finished speaking.
Someone retorted.
"If it's just for beauties, why did the big shot recorded in the ancient books a thousand years ago dig the ancient canal? He could have ordered people to bring all the beauties to the Imperial Palace."
"In this way, how could he get a bad name in the future as only greedy for pleasure?"
No matter how stupid he was.
How could he not understand this?
"And the emperor's prestige of the one 500 years ago was really from the pile of dead people."
"How could such a mighty king be so impatient to come to Yangzhou for a mere beauty?"
The young man in a tuxedo was elegant and nodded slightly in agreement.
"As for the one 300 years ago."
"How could a king of a prosperous era go to Yangzhou five times for a beauty?"
"How could a man who reached the peak of a dynasty come to Yangzhou five times for a mere beauty?"
…
"Ke Kongji, you are from the Ke family, which claims to have been passed down for a hundred years. Don't you understand this?"
The young man in the tuxedo looked at the young man, shook his head slightly, and said faintly,
"Would a rich young master like you lack beauties?"
"If you don't lack it, how could those peerless and magnificent figures lack it?"
The young masters of the wealthy families were about to agree with Ke Kongji's words.
Immediately.
They were startled.
That's right!
Even we don't lack it, so why would the big shots lack it?
In the eyes of rich young masters like them, what kind of beauty did they not have?
Other than the daughters of wealthy families of the same status.
What kind of beauty couldn't he get?
Not to mention a great figure standing at the pinnacle of a dynasty!
…
In fact, Ke Kongji couldn't be blamed.
Since ancient times, there had been records of people wasting money and manpower for beautiful women.
King You of Zhou, in order to win the beauty's smile, teased the feudal lords with the beacon fire.
It led to the destruction of Western Zhou.
King Zhou indulged in Daji's beauty all day long and neglected the affairs of the imperial court, which caused the anger of the whole world.
…
If it wasn't for the beauty, then what was it for?
Money?
A talented general?
What could a peerless character not have?
"Young Master Qu, don't try to be mystifying. Or do you want to tell me why?"
The young man in the tuxedo asked.
Normally, Su Yang would not even bother with Qu Tianyuan, the second young master of the Qu Family.
Not to mention using honorifics.
One had to know that he was from the royal family. In terms of status, he was superior to everyone present.
But today …
After today.
The distribution of power in Su Yang's territory would change.
The alliance between the Qu Family and the Xie Family would be as powerful as the royal family!
…
Looking at the young man in the tuxedo.
There was a trace of pride in Qu Tianyuan's eyes, as if there was a teasing remark that would jump out of his mouth at any time.
"So what if your Lu Family is now a noble and royal family with a great reputation and dominates the world?"
"Even if you are Lu Jiuxian, the eldest young master of the Lu Family, so what?"
"Aren't you going to toast me today?"
From now on!
The Qu Family of Su Yang will be on par with the royal family of the Lu Family that has been passed down for two hundred years!
It will become the most glorious family of Su Yang today!
…
However.
Just as Qu Tianyuan was complacent and was about to point out to everyone.
Suddenly, there was a faint voice that seemed to cut through the moonlight, with a deep sense of vicissitudes.
"Are you trying to say?"
"These big shots have come to Yangzhou one after another to find a way to live forever?"
"Unfortunately, that's not the case. They've only come to meet a single person."
"That's all."
This voice seemed to be filled with endless loneliness.
It made Qu Tianyuan and the others involuntarily shiver.
The ancients once said:
You can recognize people by hearing their voices.
Could it be tonight?
The people who were talking in this Slender West Lake were either rich or noble.
Moreover.
To dare to interrupt the conversation of Qu Tianyuan and the others, besides having great courage, one must also have an unattainable status.
Otherwise.
The anger of the rich and powerful was not something that ordinary people could ignore.
However.
When everyone looked toward the source of the voice.
In their line of sight, there was only a man with disheveled hair, tattered clothes, and dirty clothes, who looked like a beggar.
Immediately.
Lu Jiuxian and the other young masters of the rich and powerful families frowned slightly, their eyes filled with displeasure.
If it were not because of their status.
In the next second.
They would have shouted at the man.
"Who are you? You are just a beggar. How dare you interrupt our conversation?!"
As for the young masters of the rich and powerful families, there was a trace of disdain and disgust in their eyes.
It was as if they were saying:
"You are so brave. I thought you were a young master of a rich and powerful family. It turns out that you are just a stinky beggar!
Looking at Qu Tianyuan again.
His face was livid, his fists were clenched tightly, and his eyes were filled with anger as if they were about to burst out.
He was extremely angry in his heart.
"Where did this beggar come from? How dare he interrupt me!"
So angry!
So angry!
I was about to show off, but it was ruined by a beggar!
For these young masters and young masters of the rich and powerful families from Su Yang.
They were ordinary people in the marketplace.
They were not even qualified to talk to them!
Not to mention a beggar!
This was simply a great insult to them!
However.
No matter how angry they were, they suppressed it with the self-restraint they had accumulated throughout their lives.
"It is an insult to their status to lower themselves to the same level as a beggar!"
Qu Tianyuan waved at the security guard not far away, indicating that the man in ragged clothes should be driven out.
…
But at this moment.
Outside the gate of Slender West Lake, a custom-made Hongqi limousine slowly drove in.
As soon as it appeared.
The slightly noisy Slender West Lake banquet suddenly became much quieter.
No matter which rich and powerful family Su Yang was from, what status they had.
Everyone's gaze.
They were all focused on the Hongqi limousine.
Even the young masters of Qu Tianyuan and Lu Jiuxian's level showed a trace of respect in their eyes.
…
Soon.
A tall woman walked out of the car.
As soon as she appeared.
All the young masters of the rich and powerful families present were infatuated.
But everyone understood.
They were not qualified to touch this woman.
That was the fiancée of the young master of the Qu family, Xie Xueru!
She was also the trump card of Su Yang's old rich and powerful Xie family and the rich and powerful Qu family through marriage.
She was also heading towards the rich and powerful royal family.
The most important opportunity.
Xie Xueru was just like her name.
Her temperament was especially cold and elegant.
A pair of eyes like the cold night emitted a little cold light.
There was not a trace of a smile on her white face. Her whole face looked like it was in the middle of winter.
Cold, so cold that there was not a trace of vulgarity in her.
Cold, so cold and incomparably beautiful.
Coupled with that peerless beauty, she was especially worthy of being called an ice goddess.
This was a beauty that could be said to be devastatingly beautiful in any dynasty.
At this moment.
In Slender West Lake, all the eyes of the rich and powerful were focused on Xie Xueru.
Wherever she went.
The focus of the crowd was there.
Similarly.
Wherever Xie Xueru went, the crowd was like a tide, avoiding to the sides.
They were afraid of angering the future princess of the royal family.
…
And just as Xie Xueru.
She walked towards the largest bridge in the middle of the Slender West Lake. However, when she walked across the bridge, she realized that there was a dirty man blocking her way on the only bridge.
She could not help but frown slightly. In her understatement, there was a trace of blame.
"You are blocking the road. Let me pass."
Her words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves. All the rich and powerful people could not help but scold him.
"Where did this beggar come from? Get lost!"
"What are the security guards doing? How could they let a beggar in!"
In the eyes of these rich and powerful people.
A lowly beggar.
He actually dared to be in the same line of sight as a goddess like Xie Xueru. It was simply a killjoy. He really did not know the immensity of heaven and earth.
…
However.
In the next second.
In the eyes of everyone in disbelief.
They saw the man wave his hand.
It was as if in his eyes, the person standing in front of him was not a beautiful and moving beauty, but a piece of trash.
Directly in front of everyone's eyes.
This Su Yang was the apple of the Xie family's eye, the fiancée of the future heir of the rich and powerful royal family.
As if he was sweeping away a speck of dust, he turned a blind eye and directly pushed her into the lake.
…
In the next moment.
In the eyes of everyone who was filled with shock, the man walked past where Xie Xueru was just standing.
At this moment.
The whole place was silent.
Only a faint voice reverberated in everyone's ears.
"My name is Chu Lingxiao. You want me to give way? Are you worthy?"
