Hua Bushi said: "They died trying to save you, don't you feel sad?"

The resentment in Jun's father's eyes increased even more, and he said: "Wen Qin Jie Pei has served me for many years and died in your hands today. Of course I am sad."

Hua Bushi said slowly: "Since you are sad because of the death of these two book boys, have you ever thought about how those people killed by 'Tianchu', their parents, children, relatives and friends felt, and whether they would also feel it." I want to take revenge on you,"

Jun's father stared, and suddenly burst out laughing, saying: "You are talking nonsense, but you want to preach to me, asking me to admit my guilt and repent, shouldn't I kill someone? Haha, you don't need to be pretentious and waste your words. "

His face darkened and he said: "In this world, there are only strong and weak, victory and defeat. Only the winners and the strong can survive. The weak and the losers will perish. This is the eternal truth. Today I am defeated by Forget you, Wenqin Jiepei died in order to protect the master, which is considered a worthy death. If you don't kill me immediately, I will definitely not be merciful when I find a chance to defeat you in the future."

Hua Bushi looked at Jun's father and saw that his face was full of evil and evil. He also recalled that Wang Changsheng, Chu Jie and other eleven disciples were killed by "Tian Zhu" in order to protect themselves in Xiaoshan, and a wave of anger rose in his heart. , just want to ask Li Hu to stab this man to death immediately.

After a long time, the young master stabilized his mind and said: "If we only know that the weak eat the strong and kill each other, what is the difference between humans and wild beasts? In this world, no matter the strong or the weak, they all have a reason to survive and do good deeds." Evil has its consequences, but you won't understand if I tell you this."

He turned around and said: "Li Hu, ask your disciples to cut down trees and build a prison car to take this man back to the capital."

Although the battle at Mafei Valley was a complete victory, the losses of various troops were also considerable.

The Dazhen tribe suffered more than 60 casualties, and Yu Jue's cavalry suffered more than 100 casualties. The most damaged was "Bai Longxing", with more than 300 disciples losing almost half.

However, the Pili Battalion, which arrived last and decided the victory in one fell swoop, suffered minimal losses, with only a dozen people injured.

All four of Gu Xunhua were rescued, and their sealed acupuncture points were unblocked. The injuries they suffered were not minor, but fortunately they were all skin injuries. After being bandaged with medicine, they were fine, but they could not interact with others for the time being. Take action.

The bodies of their fallen comrades were buried on the spot. Everyone immediately organized their troops and continued to move forward. Jun's father was put into a prison car and headed westward with the team.

The prison cart was made by cutting down trees in the valley and was quite rough. It was very bumpy when being pulled by horses. There were also many unplaned branches and thorns exposed inside and outside the wooden cage. The reason for this was firstly because of time constraints. , lack of necessary tools, and secondly, the disciples who made the prison car thought that many of their brothers and sisters in the same sect had died at the hands of this person, and they already hated the emperor to the core, so how could they build a comfortable prison car for him to ride in.

After walking dozens of miles from the Hushi Mountain Canyon, Jun's father, who was imprisoned in the prison car, was not bound, but his acupuncture points were sealed so that he could not move. When he was jolted and shaken, he could not help but be pricked with bloodstains by the sharp branches of the prison car. This man was quite tough. He curled up his body and lay with his eyes closed in the wooden cage without making a sound.

If we follow the original route, we can reach Baima Pass when it gets dark, but the detour from Hushi Mountain Gorge adds dozens of miles to the journey, and a battle in Mafei Valley also delayed the journey for more than two hours.

When they set off westward, the large group of troops were still a hundred miles away from Baima Pass, and they would definitely not be able to reach it today.

So Yang Sichang ordered to find a suitable place to camp, and set off on the road early tomorrow morning. He would surely arrive at Baima Pass by noon.

The camp site was chosen on a hill. The officers and soldiers led by Yu Jue camped on the top of the mountain. The prince and princess lived in the camp. The two groups of the "Evil Dog Sect" and the disciples of "Bai Longxing" had separate camps.

On three sides of the hillside, it is conducive to protection.

As night falls, fires are lit in each camp, and sentries are set up around the hills. As long as anyone comes within a hundred feet, they will be immediately discovered and warned. This is an enemy territory, and there are dangers everywhere.

There may be dangers, so defense must not be neglected.

Hua Bushi lived in the camp of Pili Camp on the hillside. After dinner, the young master called Ximen Tong to the tent and asked about the current situation of the Lu Kingdom Branch. The master and apprentice also

We hadn’t seen each other for quite a while, and we talked for a long time. It wasn’t until after the second watch that Ximen Tong resigned.

Hua Bushi was about to take off his clothes and rest, but suddenly he heard a disciple outside the tent say: "Report to the young master, Officer Yang and General Yu are outside the camp, saying they want to see you."

We marched together all the way. If it was normal, we could say that Yang Sichang and Yu Jue waited until midnight to come to visit, but they didn't know what important matter they had.

"Invite them in," Hua Bushi thought in his mind and ordered the disciples outside the tent.

After a while, the door curtain opened and two people walked in, it was Yang Sichang and Yu Jue.

"I visited you late at night and disturbed Mr. Hua's rest. Sichang will excuse me first," Yang Sichang said as soon as they met.

Hua Bushi quickly returned the greeting and said: "Brother Yang, you're welcome. I haven't rested yet. Your Majesty is here. You and I can drink tea and talk together to clear up the long night."

After a few pleasantries, Hua Bushi led Yang Sichang and Yu Jue to the table. There were tea sets on the table. Hua Bushi lit a charcoal fire and boiled water to make tea.

Although Yang Sichang was Yu Jue's teacher, they did not stick to the teacher-student etiquette and sat down on the chair together.

"Back then, Yu Jue was defeated at Huaiqing City in Henan Province, and I was very upset for a while. After today's battle, I realized that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world. Yu is truly convinced of Master Hua," Yu Jue said, cupping his fists.

It was a secret when Hua Bushi helped the 36th Battalion of the Rebel Army to besiege Huaiqing, but Yang Sichang had long known the truth and told his student. There was no one else in the tent at this time, and Hua Bushi did not deny it.

He smiled and said: "Victory and defeat are common matters for military officers. General Yu was just a little careless in the battle of Huaiqing that day. It was a fluke that the rebels won."

Yu Jue shook his head and said: "That's not the case. With the strength of Master Hua's war department, if we attack that day, I really have no chance of victory. I understand this point very well, but Yu doesn't understand. Since Master Hua has such an elite

War Department, why not surrender to the imperial court, achieve a great cause, and obtain high-ranking officials and generous salaries will be a piece of cake,"

As the saying goes, "Practice your civil and martial arts well and sell them to the emperor's family." Yu Jue's military and martial arts skills are not weak. What he wants in his life is to be promoted and make a fortune. This is also the wish of many people. Hua Bushi's mind changed and he immediately

Then they knew the purpose of Yang Sichang's late-night visit with Yu Jue.

These two men turned out to be lobbyists.

Yang Sichang said: "My student is outspoken and won't beat around the bush, but Mr. Hua might as well think about what he said. Although Mr. Hua is now in charge of a martial arts sect and is free and easy, he is not on the right track after all. A man joins the government to serve the country." , Only then can we honor our ancestors and be famous for centuries to come.”

Seeing that Hua Bushi was smiling, he did not answer, and added: "Although Sichang is not a person in a high position now, he still has some qualifications in the 'Five Kings Party'. He can make two promises. One is If Master Hua is willing to lead the people to join him, Sichang will definitely find a position for Master Hua to have sole control of military affairs. Secondly, the party can transfer no less than 500,000 silver taels every year to provide Master Hua with military expenses. , I know that an elite war department such as the Pili Battalion must spend a lot of money on equipment training. With these silver coins, Master Hua can expand his troops and build a strong army no less than the "Tianxiong Army". ,"

Although the Pili Battalion is powerful, its number is still too small. It can certainly dominate in a duel with hundreds of men and horses, but if it wants to fight with the "Tianxiong Army" with thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, , will still be outnumbered, of course we know that this is a waste of money, but recruiting and training the war department is indeed a huge expense, and even with the current financial resources of "Evil Dog Gate", it is difficult to afford more.

And if you can obtain an official position with sole control of military and political power, and receive 500,000 taels of military support every year, it will be a very ideal thing to expand your strength. The conditions proposed by Yang Sichang are indeed exciting. .

Of course, this also means taking refuge in the government and serving the imperial court, which means that one will inevitably be involved in the disputes between the parties in the DPRK and China.

Hua Bushi picked up the tea cup and took a sip carefully before saying slowly: "I am a member of the martial arts world. I have never liked being restrained by others and have never served the government. My ambition is to honor my ancestors and only seek to develop my own sect." contented,”

Yang Sichang said: "Nowadays, there are many bandits in various areas, and the seizure of cities and territories is extremely rampant. The northern Tatars have invaded the territory several times, and they are also taking a look at our territory of the Ming Dynasty. These troubled times are at the time when the country is employing people, and it is also It is a good opportunity for heroes to make achievements. Master Hua has talents and strategies, but he hides them in the wilderness. Isn't it a waste?"

Hua Bushi shook his head and said: "Brother Sichang believes that serving the emperor is the right way to make achievements, but my younger brother thinks that there is a way to save the world and help the people in the world. Hua Bushi has made up his mind, but he wants to let down brother Sichang. and General Yu’s kind words,”

Although his words were not forceful, his tone was very firm. Yang Sichang was a person who was good at observing words and emotions, and he immediately knew that this young master had no possibility of being used by the court.

Yang Sichang sighed softly and said: "Yes, everyone has their own ambitions, so you can't force it. Alas, it's a pity that Sichang's ability is limited. Although he has set his ambition and served loyally, it is difficult to achieve much. In the end, he must only It’s just as long as you can die,”
