Hearing Hua Bushi's words, Cao Muyun also frowned and remained silent for a while. After a while, he said: "In this way, we have to make long-term plans to defeat the pirates of the Black Dragon Palace. Already."

Hua Bushi said: "That's exactly it."

Cao Muyun said: "Brother Hua just said that the pirates' 'Five Dragon Formation' was defeated the day before yesterday, thanks to Peng San's boat. I had guessed that he was an old general of the imperial navy camp, but now it seems that is not the case." , but not as good as Brother Hua in knowing this person’s origins.”

Hua Bushi said: "I am also very curious about the origin of Mr. Peng San. I asked the head of the Chai family the day before yesterday. According to the head of the Chai family, he met Peng San at the inn in Nan'ao Town five years ago. At that time, Peng San was dyed He had a strange disease, his whole body was red, swollen and ulcerated. He couldn't afford to fall ill in the inn, and he had money to pay. He was about to be kicked out by the innkeeper. The head of the Chai family paid for his room and board, and invited a doctor to treat him. After a few days, Yue Cai cured the strange disease. Peng San was grateful for the life-saving grace and stayed in Chai Garden. As for his previous background, Peng San told the Chai family leader that he was from Liaodong and had learned some juggling skills since he was a child. , only because his hometown was hit by a natural disaster and he went out to sell his art to make a living, he ended up living in Guangdong."

Cao Muyun said: "Does Brother Hua believe such nonsense?"[

Hua Bushi said with a smile: "Of course I don't believe it. The incident of contracting the disease in Nan'ao Town may be true. He sounds like he has a Liaodong accent. However, he possesses martial arts skills and is so good at sailing and naval combat. It is definitely not something that a juggler can possess."

Cao Muyun said: "To defeat the pirates of the 'Black Dragon Palace', we must rely on this person's naval combat skills. However, such an unknown origin is really not reassuring. Why don't we design a plan to capture him, or force out his identity?" origin."

Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "This is inappropriate. Since he intends to conceal his origins, he will not be forced to find out easily. Moreover, this person is extremely scheming and has high martial arts skills. We still don't know whether we can capture him." , it would be unsightly to force him away in a self-defeating manner. Anyway, there is no rush to attack Black Dragon Island. In my opinion, it is better to look for opportunities to explore slowly later."

Cao Muyun thought for a while and then said: "Okay, let's just follow what Brother Hua said."

The two discussed for a while, and Hua Bushi agreed to Cao Muyun to lobby Sima Rulan and the people in "Wanjintang" to promote the two sides to join forces to attack Heilong Island. It was better to specify how to send troops to attack, but neither of them could do it. Come up with feasible strategies.

Half an hour later, Hua Bushi stood up to say goodbye, and Cao Muyun handed him off.

Coming out of the side courtyard, Hua Bushi walked quickly to the back garden, where Hua Tianxiong, the owner of the Evil Dog Sect, now lived.

After the battle at sea that day, Hua Bushi went to the "Evil Dog Gate" boat to visit his father. Hua Tianxiong became furious as soon as he saw his beloved son and scolded him severely. After this "Wanyi Conference" OK, Hua Bushi not only failed to achieve his goal, but also experienced danger and almost died, which made his father anxious and worried. The eldest young master was already feeling guilty, so he had no choice but to obey the instructions and admit his mistakes, not daring to contradict him at all.

Then Hua Tianxiong took his disciples into Okura City and lived in the Veitian Tower.

In the past in Wuyang City, Hua Tianxiong spent most of his time in seclusion in the backyard of the Hua family mansion. He ignored the affairs of the sect and rarely interacted with his fellow martial artists. However, after moving into the Waitian Tower, he spent more than ten days in a row every day. They all went out to have a drink. The reason for this was that Chai Lin was too attentive and polite.

As soon as they heard that Hua Tianxiong had entered Okura City, two elders from the "Wanjin Hall" came to visit him and brought him piles of gifts. Their words were extremely respectful. The next day, they came to invite Hua Tianxiong in person. Tianxiong went to a restaurant to have a drink, saying that he wanted to meet the owner of the evil dog sect.

Hua Tianxiong, who has always disliked socializing, didn't want to go at first, but Chai Lin had helped the "Evil Dog Gate" to find the whereabouts of Hua Bushi, and later sent someone to deliver a letter, so that Hua Tianxiong learned that his son was safe and well. Finally, he owed him a favor, and now that the Chai family leader was soliciting invitations, Hua Tianxiong couldn't spare his face, so he went with them.

In the following days, Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao took turns to invite each other every day. The two of them were direct disciples of the Shaolin Sect and elders of the "Wanjin Hall". Their status was not low, but they held a strong attitude toward Hua Tianxiong. The courtesy of the juniors was extremely polite, and after Hua Tianxiong went to have a few drinks with them, he became familiar with them, so he no longer asked them to invite them, and went to banquets every day.

Of course Hua Bushi also knew about this. In the past, at noon, Hua Tianxiong must have been in the restaurant with the two elders Chai Yao. Today, for some reason, his father did not go to have a drink, and wanted to summon him. However, Ling Hua Bu Shi was a little curious.

The back garden of Huitianlou is not small, and has always been used for dog training: after the "Zixiao Conference" began, most of the fighting dogs trained on behalf of others were returned to their owners, and the garden became empty. Later, when the pirates besieged the city, Xinlika brought the villagers from Mori Village to surrender, and he just placed them among them.

After Hua Tianxiong entered the city, Hua Bushi spent money to rent several nearby houses and let the indigenous villagers of Moli Village move in. The back garden was tidied up and left to his father and the disciples of the "Evil Dog Sect" They live.

Arriving outside the door of the house where Hua Tianxiong lived, Hua Bushi said hello and heard his father's voice inside the door: "Come in." He entered.

Entering the house, Hua Bushi saw his father sitting at the Eight Immortals table, drinking tea, and his second uncle Hua Dihu and his master Mo Wentian were also in the house.

The second uncle sat at the table with his legs crossed, while Mo Wentian stood aside, with smiles on their faces. In fact, not only the two of them, but Hua Tianxiong also seemed to be in a good mood.[

In the middle of the Eight Immortals table, there is a semicircular yellow jade pendant with dragon patterns carved on it. It is very exquisite. It is the Panlong Jue.

Panlong Jue was originally a relic of Sima Zhufeng. That day in Mingxiangzhai, Lu Qiuhong accused Hua Bushi of murdering the city lord and wanted to search for evidence. Hua Bushi took out Panlong Jue on his own initiative. After that, Yujue was "Wan" "Jintang" was taken back, and the property was returned to its original owner.

Why did this piece of jade come here again? Hua Bushi was quite surprised.

Hua Bushi stepped forward and saluted his father and second uncle. Hua Tianxiong waved his hand and said, "That's all. You didn't come back all night yesterday, but you spent the night in the city lord's mansion."

Hua Bushi said: "Yes."

Hua Tianxiong said: "I see that you are not in the Baitian Tower most of the time these days, but you are staying in the City Lord's Mansion."

Hua Bushi said: "The pirates who besieged the city have just retreated. There are still many complicated affairs in the city. I have been in the city lord's mansion these days just to help Miss Lan'er deal with things. But now the situation has been calmed down. As long as I have been busy for these few days, The child no longer has to go to the City Lord's Mansion every day, and can stay in the Waitian Tower to wait for his father and second uncle."

Hua Tianxiong nodded and said: "Well, in fact, there is nothing wrong with going to the City Lord's Mansion more often. Your second uncle and I are not old, weak, sick or disabled people. Why do you need to wait for us? Women need to spend more money." Only if you spend time with her will she be willing to be with you."

Hua Bushi was shocked: "Why do you say such a thing, daddy?"

Hua Tianxiong laughed "haha" and said: "Dad already knows about you and that little girl Sima Rulan! You have a good taste. That little girl is good at martial arts and good-looking. She is also a 'Wan Jin Tang' 'Miss, if you marry her in the future, this Okura City will be within your reach."

Hua Bushi said: "Dad has misunderstood. The rumors in the market about Hai'er and Miss Lan'er are all rumors. Daddy must not believe it. She and I are just friends who met by chance, and Hai'er has never had any plans. The heart of this city.”

Hua Tianxiong said: "Don't you like to manage the sect? I think this 'Wanjintang' is not bad compared to the 'Evil Dog Gate'. The industry and assets in the sect are even more abundant, and there are dozens of ocean-going ships." , if you marry Sima Rulan, not only will you have a beautiful woman in your arms, but you will also get a lot of assets and influence, what's wrong with that."

Hua Bushi said: "My child is married now, how can he marry Miss Lan'er again?"

Hua Tianxiong waved his hand and said: "It is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. You are married to Hai Hongzhu, and it is not too much to marry another Sima Rulan. However, since Sima Rulan is the eldest daughter of the city lord, it is not a big deal. You can't wrong her too much. The happy event must be well organized. I think it's enough to let her and Hongzhu be your first wives."

Before Hua Bushi could answer, Mo Wentian on the side said: "Young Master, there is no need to worry about the marriage. Yesterday we had wine with the two elders of Wan Jin Tang at RT-Mart, and it was Mr. Chai Dashan who took the initiative to mention it to the Master. Regarding this marriage, it was also said that City Lord Sima had already said that this 'Panlong Jue' was a token of his choice of son-in-law and would be passed on to his future son-in-law: "

He smiled slightly and added: "When City Lord Sima passed this Jue to the eldest young master, he had the intention of betrothing his daughter to the eldest young master. The so-called 'parents' orders, matchmaker's words', even if Miss Sima is not willing, she will She doesn't dare to disobey her father's orders, not to mention that from the old slave's point of view, she is quite affectionate towards the young master and will definitely not object."

At this time, Hua Bushi finally understood why this piece of Panlongjue went and came back to the Veitian Tower. It turned out to be a token of marriage that Chai Lin had given to Hua Tianxiong. It was a pity that this happened. But the young master couldn't agree to it no matter what.

If he had never met Yang Jiangyi and had not experienced that night by the Jinxi River in Wuyang City, Hua Bushi might have agreed to the marriage. As his father Hua Tianxiong said, Sima Rulan's martial arts, appearance and character are so good. Everything is a good choice, Hua Bushi also has a good impression of her, and as long as he marries Sima Rulan, he can get Okura City and all the wealth of "Wanjintang" in his hand, which will help realize his dream. Dreams go a long way.

However, there is no if in all things.

Before experiencing this, Hua Bushi had never fallen in love with any woman. He didn't even believe that there was such a thing as love in this world. In his eyes, marriage was just a means to achieve great things. The reason why Hua Bushi forced Hai Hongzhu to marry him in order to gain the right to take charge of the sect.

However, after experiencing many things, Hua Bushi already understood that he had found the person he loved most in his life and was determined to be with her life and death. He would not be able to marry any other woman, not even Sima Rulan.
