Liu Yuanhe said: "Needless to say, Senior Nephew Yuan, no matter how strong Chu Changting is, he is just an underworld thief, I, Liu Yuanhe, am afraid of where he comes from!"

The so-called people fight for a skin, Buddha fights for a pillar of incense, life in the world face is extremely important, especially for Liu Yuanhe and other famous heroes He has been very embarrassed today, but after all, he was deceived by others, was plotted, if now in front of dozens of sects, in front of these many people to consider themselves timid and afraid, dare not fight with Chu Changting, then this world of fame is only afraid that it will be put into the water in this night, in the future, the various factions on the rivers and lakes of Yujing will talk about the "Luohan Gate" 's elder Liu Yuanhe will treat him as a daxiao dialect.

This result is unacceptable to Liu Yuanhe's death.

The trick used by Hua Bushi was to seize this weakness of Liu Yuanhe, so that he could not agree if he wanted to.

The challenge book and ink pen were quickly handed to Liu Yuanhe, who took the pen and signed his name on the piece of paper with a trembling hand.

Hua Bushi gave a thumbs up and praised: "Elder Liu is really bold, he is worthy of being the mainstay of my Yujing White Road, which really makes Hua Bushi admire him so much!"

With the praise of the young master, a sound of praise sounded again in the cabin, but everyone looked at Liu Yuanhe as if they were looking at a dead man, and there was a bit of joy in their eyes. After all, tomorrow this Elder Liu is defeated and killed, and everyone can go home.

Hua Bushi took the paper and folded it, handed it to Li Hu on the side, and ordered: "Immediately ask someone to shoot this challenge book with an arrow to the underworld water village opposite!"

Chu Changting was really very proud and conceited, and in less than half a quarter of time when the challenge book was ejaculated, the reply book had already been ejaculated, and its content was only a short line:

"Fight alone tomorrow to take the dog's life!"

Hua Bushi took the reply book in his hand and read it carefully, and then handed it to the various sects on the ship to read.

Yuan Xi said: "Chu Changting has agreed to fight, now I can help Uncle Liu go back to the boat to rest, right?"

Hua Bushi said: "Of course you can, Elder Liu, please rest tonight, whether we advance or retreat, it all depends on Elder Liu's victory or defeat against Chu Changting tomorrow!"

Liu Yuanhe hated Hua Bushi very much, and because he was poisoned, he was really in no mood to talk to him anymore, so he snorted coldly, and let Yuan Xi carry him out of the hatch.

Seeing that Liu Yuanhe was limping away, Hua Bushi's eyes turned to the people in the various sects, and said loudly: "Everyone go back tonight, and you should all make some preparations, and when Elder Liu defeats Chu Changting tomorrow, everyone can take advantage of the victory to pursue and break through the blockade of the underworld in one fell swoop!"

Everyone inside and outside the cabin said yes, and the voice was very neat and loud.

Of course, it is necessary to prepare for it, but what these people are thinking in their hearts is, of course, not to chase tomorrow with victory, but to pack up first, and wait until Liu Yuanhe is defeated, so as to run away quickly, and save time to be chased and killed by the underworld because they don't have time to clean up and escape too slowly.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the pill that Liu Yuanhe swallowed, it was indeed a symptomatic medicine for the treatment of poisonous injuries. After he returned to his boat, he breathed for more than an hour, and the poison in his body was gone, and the stab in the back by the short dagger was a small wound to the flesh, which would have no effect on the fight.

Yuan Xi retired immediately after bandaging Liu Yuanhe's wounds, not daring to disturb his uncle's rest, so he was left alone in the cabin.

Tomorrow at noon, he will have a duel with a strong enemy, and he should have had a good rest tonight to recuperate, but Liu Yuanhe was lying on the bed in the corner of the cabin, but he couldn't sleep anymore, and he wanted to get up and do some work, but his mind was still chaotic.

The reason is very simple, that is, Liu Yuanhe is completely unsure of tomorrow's duel. Although he has always thought highly of himself, he has not yet been arrogant enough to think that he can be stronger than Chu Changting.

Although he had not seen Chu Changting make a move with his own eyes, the fifteenth ranking of the "Black Wind Record" was enough to show the strength of this person, in the "Luohan Gate", probably only the "Six Provinces Boxing Champion" Fang Changsheng could compete with Chu Changting, and his Liu Yuanhe's martial arts were slightly inferior.

This kind of difference in strength is not only known to Liu Yuanhe himself, but also to those people in the Jianghu sect, and it has been revealed on their faces. But those people still supported him to duel and let him die, just to keep his own sect from being damaged, which is really hateful!

Of course, the most hateful thing is Hua Bushi, that evil dog young master is the initiator of everything!

He really shouldn't have agreed to a duel! But under that circumstance at that time, how could he not agree? Probably this is the so-called person in the rivers and lakes, and he can't help himself, even if he has to lose his life, he can't help himself!

Since he couldn't sleep and couldn't work hard, Liu Yuanhe could only sit on the edge of the bed and think nonsense, from the victory or defeat of the "Fugui League" on this expedition, to the crisis faced by the sect, and thinking of his wife and son who had just turned twelve in Kaifeng City, Zuihou also thought of the scene when he was in the Shaolin Temple and practiced art with a group of brothers and sisters.

At that time, Liu Yuanhe had such ambitions, he only thought that he had learned martial arts, and he would definitely be able to do chivalrous righteousness, eliminate violence and peace, and make a great career in the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect Zuihou's ending to be so tragic.

Thinking of the sadness, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.

A few knocks on the door interrupted Liu Yuanhe's thoughts, and he suddenly opened his eyes, only to find that the morning light had penetrated through the window.

"Uncle Liu, can you get up?" was Yuan Xi's voice.

"I've gotten up, come in!" Liu Yuanhe wiped the tears from his face and replied loudly.

The door was pushed open, and Yuan Xi walked in with a wooden basin filled with water and a towel on the side of the basin.

Yuan Xi put the wooden basin in front of Liu Yuanhe and said, "I fetched water, please ask Uncle Shi to wash." ”

In the Jianghu sect, it was supposed to be for the younger generations to wait for the seniors, but in the past, he brought two "Luohanmen" disciples to wash Liu Yuanhe's face, and Yuan Xi, as Fang Changsheng's proud disciple, didn't have to do such things.

He personally came in with a basin of water, thinking that he also knew that this Uncle Liu's battle today was more auspicious and less auspicious.

Watching Liu Yuanhe pick up a towel to wash, Yuan Xi suddenly said: "Actually, if Uncle Shi is completely unsure that he can defeat Chu Changting, it is better to talk to Young Master Hua and cancel the duel." ”

Liu Yuanhe's fists clenched suddenly, and with a "clatter", the towel had been twisted into two, and he said sharply: "Tell Hua Bushi to cancel the duel? Hmph! If I want to duel with Chu Changting, it was originally arranged by the young master of the vicious dog, if I am defeated, they just want to avoid the battle and flee, how can he cancel it now!"

Yuan Xi said: "Uncle Shi, don't be angry. Although the little nephew didn't know Young Master Hua's thoughts, he used a fire pot to defend very effectively in the past few days, and last night he expected that the enemy plane captured the inner ghost first. ”

It's okay not to mention the inner ghost, as soon as Yuan Xi said that Hua Bushi captured the inner ghost, Liu Yuanhe's anger was even more unbeatable, and he said angrily: "What if he is clever and clever, but he can play a little clever, the rumors on the rivers and lakes are not wrong at all, then Hua Bushi is a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death! Even if I die in battle, I will not bow to him!"

Yuan Xi said: "Why should Uncle Qi be so impulsive in order to fight for a moment? A few days ago, Uncle Qi was killed in Hubei, Uncle Chen was killed in battle in Yuzhou, Uncle Hu was plotted to death in Huaiqing, and Uncle Gu was also seriously injured and disabled. ”

At this, the look on his face was gloomy.

Liu Yuanhe was full of anger, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness in his heart, and his anger suddenly disappeared without a trace.

Since the rise of the "Fugui Alliance" in Yujing, the "Luohan Gate" has suffered heavy losses, the original seven elders, now there are only three left, and the killed Qi Yuanhao, Hu Yuankui and others, all of them are Liu Yuanhe's fellow brothers, listening to what Yuan Xi said, he felt deeply.

After a while, Liu Yuanhe let out a long sigh and said: "Today's duel with Chu Changting is related to my Liu Yuanhe's reputation for a lifetime, and it is also related to the prestige of our 'Luohan Gate', which must not be canceled." If something really happens to me, please ask Senior Brother Yuan to tell the senior brother in charge and take care of Liu Yuanhe's wife and children in Kaifeng City, but don't ask my son to practice martial arts again, just let him read some books and be an ordinary person. ”

Yuan Xi's eyes were already red, and he said, "Uncle Liu can rest assured about the matter of my aunt and junior brother, but Yuan Xi thinks that even if Chu Changting is strong, with Uncle Chu's martial arts, there will definitely be a chance to win." ”

Liu Yuanhe smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Nephew Yuan promised me that I can rest assured, I can also let go of a battle without worries, and fight to the death with Chu Changting!"

At this moment, only a sound of footsteps was heard, but a disciple hurriedly walked into the cabin, and Shi Li said, "Elder Liu, Senior Brother Yuan, Young Master Hua summoned the heads of various sects, and asked Elder Liu and Senior Brother Yuan to go to the flag ship quickly." ”

Yuan Xi frowned and said: "Isn't the time of the duel set at noon, it's only just past midnight, there are still more than two hours, Young Master Hua has gathered everyone so early, what happened?"

Liu Yuanhe said: "It doesn't matter what he is, since the young master of the vicious dog has summoned him, let's go and take a look!"

At that moment, Liu Yuanhe tidied up his clothes, walked out of the cabin with Yuan Xi, boarded the boat and headed towards the flag boat.

Hua Bushi's flag boat is located in the center of the water village boat array, and it is a short time away by boat. After getting on the flag boat, Liu Yuanhe immediately noticed that the atmosphere here today was different from the past, not only on the flag boat, but also in the entire Shuizhai boat array.

Dozens of principals of various sects had gathered on the deck, and on both sides of the ship, there were thirty or forty big men with sabers at their waists and muskets in their hands. On the periphery of the ship array, you can also see many guards with muskets, all of whom are disciples of the Perak Battalion, and have tightly sealed the entire water village ship formation.
