Chapter Forty-Six: A Fight Together
Hua Bushi remained silent for a long time after listening to Shen Ying'er's narration.
Shen Ying'er said: "Brother Hua's strategy is something that my little sister has always admired. If even you can't do anything, then our three major gangs will really encounter disaster this time."
Hua Bushi smiled and said: "How could Hua Bushi not know Xianmei's scheme? He is praising me so much just to trick me out."
Shen Ying'er pouted and said: "I told the truth, and you said I was lying to you, so I'd better marry you so that you don't know whether I am sincere or not!"
Hua Bushi was shocked and said: "Shen Xianmei, please spare Xiao Ke, please don't make such a joke again. Hua Bushi will just raise his hands and surrender!"
Shen Ying'er looked at Hua Bushi with a smile. Although she didn't know why the young master was so afraid that others would marry him, she had already caught his sore foot, so she could make good use of it.
But Hua Bushi lowered his head and pondered for a while, and then said seriously: "What do Shen Xianmei think of Taoist Gongyang's strategy of waiting for help?"
Shen Ying'er said: "My little sister thinks that although it is a bit conservative to wait for help, it is the safest way to deal with it at the moment."
Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "In my opinion, the strategy of holding on is the most unstable method! The reinforcements of the 'Wudang Sect' will arrive in a few days. Zhu Zhenyan is very resourceful, how could he not know it? Before the reinforcements arrived, he He will definitely use all his strength to fight with us. That invitation is both an invitation letter and an ultimatum. According to my inference, February 14th is the time for the decisive battle he has set!"
"If the four major gangs are all present, and the strength gap between the two sides is not too big, we can still use Wuyang City to deal with him, but now there is only this small 'Lengyue Pavilion' left, and there is no way to maneuver around. The enemy is strong and we are weak. Once we are defeated, all three sects including us will be wiped out in one fell swoop, and there will be no chance of survival!"
"Although there are many mechanisms under this 'Leng Yue Pavilion', which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, if I were Na Zhu Zhenyan, there would be at least two or more ways to break into this pavilion. The only difference is the amount of the cost. If we hunker down in the pavilion and wait until reinforcements from the 'Wudang Sect' arrive, no matter how much the price is, Zhu Zhenyan will probably pay it."
Shen Ying'er's face changed in shock and she said, "Then what should we do?"
Hua Bushi said: "Since we can't stand firm, there are only two ways to go. One is to negotiate peace with them, and the other is to fight to the death."
Shen Ying'er said: "That is Grandpa and Uncle Hua's plan. I wonder which one Brother Hua thinks is more feasible?"
Hua Bushi said: "For Xianmei's 'Monkey Shen Family', both of these paths are feasible strategies. It just depends on how you choose."
Shen Ying'er said: "What about Brother Hua and the 'Evil Dog Sect'?"
Hua Bushi smiled bitterly and said: "Our 'Evil Dog Sect' has no choice but to fight to the death. We already made a big enemy of Zhu Zhenyan's masters in the battle the day before yesterday. How can they let us go?"
Shen Ying'er thought for a while and said, "But I don't know what Brother Hua said about the selection of the 'Monkey Shen Family' just now."
Hua Bushi said: "Since Miss Shen has asked about it, I will explain it to you in detail. Of these two options, one is slightly safer, while the other is more dangerous. Let me talk about the safe strategy first, which is to negotiate an alliance. If the Shen family forms an alliance with Zhu Zhenyan, they must give up the 'Iron Sword Sect' and the 'Evil Dog Sect'. Considering the current situation, the power of Zhu Zhenyan's family is indeed much stronger than our two sects, and they will be a stronger one. A powerful ally."
"Although Zhu Zhenyan is powerful, he has just arrived in this city and does not know much about the situation inside and outside Wuyang. It will take some time to lay down the foundation. If there is help from a sect like the 'Monkey Shen Family' who has been in the local area for a long time, we will be able to It’s something you can’t ask for, so if the Shen family is willing to form an alliance with them, then Zhu Zhenyan will definitely agree. If the Shen family makes this choice, the current crisis can be safely overcome, but the future future may not be very optimistic."
Shen Ying'er said: "What will the future be like?"
Hua Bushi said: "In the past, we, the 'Four Great Evils of Western Hunan', were able to stay in Wuyang City and coexist peacefully because the strength of the four sects like us was not much different and they could check and balance each other. If Zhu Zhenyan formed an alliance with the Shen family, his The strength is far greater than that of the Shen family, so the 'Holy Monkey Gang' can only be a vassal, and must obey Zhu Zhenyan in everything, and do as he pleases. And after Zhu Zhenyan has established a foothold in Wuyang City, will he tear up the alliance? It’s impossible to get rid of the Shen family.”
Shen Ying'er nodded slightly and asked, "What about another dangerous choice?"
Hua Bushi said: "Now the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the difference in strength is huge. We and the three factions will fight to the death. Of course, it is extremely dangerous. I also told my father the day before yesterday that if we can't rely on the power of the government, the 'Evil Dog Gate' will still be It would be better to abandon Wuyang City and break out of the siege to escape."
Shen Ying'er said: "I have known for a long time that the idea of using the officers and soldiers was given to my uncle by Brother Hua. Uncle Hua was also a member of the underworld in the past and would never come up with such a plan."
Hua Bushi said: "With the current strength of the three major gangs in Wuyang City, if you want to fight Zhu Zhenyan, you are seeking death. There is not even the slightest chance. Even if you borrow the power of the government, you only have a 50-60% chance of winning, and There are many joints involved in communicating with officials, and it is not known whether it will be possible."
Shen Ying'er said: "This matter is indeed quite difficult to decide, and even if my Shen family makes a choice, the 'Iron Sword Sect' and the 'Evil Dog Sect' refuse to comply, so it is still in vain."
Hua Bushi said: "There is no need for the Shen family to worry at this time. If you want to form an alliance with Zhu Zhenyan, you can lead everyone and leave quietly without worrying about us and other two factions. And if the Shen family decides to take a risk, they will fight with the 'evil dog' The sects all agreed. Taoist Gongyang didn't want to attack, just because he was lucky enough to be able to defend the 'Leng Yue Pavilion'. You and I must fight. If the 'Iron Sword Sect' alone can defend this place, then we don't want to. Don’t even think about it, he will have no choice but to join hands with me and fight to the death.”
Shen Ying'er's bright eyes moved and she said: "My little sister originally wanted to choose the safe way and let the Shen family form an alliance with Zhu Zhenyan in order to temporarily save her life. However, I owe Brother Hua too much. I want to marry you to repay the debt. You No, that little sister has no choice but to risk her life and join hands with you to fight to the death with Na Zhu Zhenyan, so that she can make up for the sin of causing Brother Hua to be injured by the sword!"
Hua Bushi said with an moved expression: "Shen Xiaomei really wants to make such a choice?"
Shen Ying'er pouted and said, "Huh, how many times have I lied to you? You always don't know my sincerity!"
Hua Bushi said: "Hua Bushi is extremely grateful for Shen Xianmei's kindness! It's just that Xianmei made this choice, but I'm afraid your grandpa won't agree."
Shen Ying'er said: "Since I have promised you, I am sure that grandpa will agree. My little sister is the person in charge of the outer hall of the Shen family, and grandpa must listen to me on matters within the family."
Hua Bushi nodded. He knew that the ancestor of the Shen family loved the third lady very much. She was not very old, but she was also a smart and capable person. Since she said this, there must be no problem, so he said: "That's very good. Then it’s settled.”
He pondered for a moment and then said: "As for the matter of using the officers and soldiers, I have a detailed plan, but I still need Miss Shen's help."
Shen Ying'er said: "If you have anything to do with me, Brother Hua, just tell me."
…
The two discussed secretly in the room for another hour, and it was not until the third watch that Shen Ying'er left gracefully.
It was already midnight, and Hua Bushi planned to lie down and rest.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Ying'er left, someone came to visit Hua Bushi. This time, the guards outside the courtyard did not stop her, because it was the eldest daughter of the Hua family, Hua Tianxiong's newly adopted daughter Yang, who came. Red clothes.
Different from the yellow shirt she wore in the past, tonight Yang Jiangyi is wearing a plain white snow silk skirt. The material is very soft and clings to her body, which highlights her graceful and graceful figure. You can see Hua Bu Shi's soul flying into the sky, as if he were dreaming.
Sitting down on the sandalwood chair in front of the bed, Yang Jiangyi also looked at Hua Bushi's face without saying a word.
Having been looked at by the two girls like this before, Hua Bushi had some experience. Moreover, he and Yang Jiangyi had lived together in that abandoned courtyard the day before yesterday, so he was not like facing Hai Hongzhu Shen Ying'er. He was restrained. When he saw Yang Jiangyi looking at him, Hua Bushi didn't say anything. He stared at her with wide eyes, and his eyes moved up and down, and he couldn't help but take a look at the attractive figure of the beauty in front of him.
But Yang Jiangyi finally couldn't resist and said, "Have you seen enough?"
Hua Bushi said: "Of course I haven't seen enough. My sister is beautiful and delicious, how can I not see enough of my younger brother?"
Seeing the angry look on Yang Jiangyi's pretty face, Hua Bushi didn't care at all, and said: "Why don't you come here late at night? Could it be that you also want to marry your younger brother?"
Yang Jiangyi spat: "You have a bad idea, who would want to marry you!"
Hua Bushi clapped his chest and said, "As long as you don't marry me, I will be relieved."
Listening to Hua Buyou's smooth and ridiculing words, and seeing him looking at her lustfully, Yang Jiangyi was furious!
She came here tonight for no other reason than to visit the young master of Hua University. The day before yesterday, Hua Bushi was seriously injured because she blocked a sword for Yang Jiangyi. She couldn't bear it, so she wanted to take advantage of it. Come and see the young master's injury at night.
Just after the second watch, Yang Jiangyi arrived in front of the small courtyard where Hua Bushi lived and recuperated, but she heard from the gang members standing guard outside that the third lady of the "Monkey Shen Family" was talking to Young Master Hua in the courtyard. , it was inconvenient for her to enter, so she had to stand outside the courtyard door and wait. After waiting for most of the update, she finally saw Shen Ying'er leaving the courtyard, and Yang Jiangyi finally walked into the room, but she never thought of meeting this Huada student. As soon as the young master met, he was so frivolous and rude to me!
Listening to what he just said, it turned out that Shen Ying'er came here late at night and actually wanted to marry Hua Bushi. It turned out that this evil young master not only wanted to forcefully marry that girl Hai, but also had the third daughter of the Shen family in mind. !
