Sitting at home behind closed doors can actually provoke enemies.

In Okura City, there may be many people who have no good impression of Hua Bushi, the "evil dog boy", for various reasons, but he has only been in this city for a month, and he has not done anything bad to hurt the heavens and reason, and he has not even gone out at all for more than 20 days.

The one who hates Hua Bushi the most in Okura City may only be He Xilou, the big boss of the "Bright Moon Society", but the black-clothed killer who came to commit the murder is not weak in martial arts, but it is not He Xilou, this Hua Bushi can be sure.

He Xilou was tall, and although the man in black was also very burly, he was still a little shorter than the big man He. Hua Bushi has studied the "True Scripture of Knowing the Essence", and is very experienced in distinguishing the body and recognizing people, even if he only takes a quick glance, he will never be wrong.

Moreover, He Xilou and the gang of the "Bright Moon Society" had already been driven out of the city, and the gates and four walls of Okura Castle were guarded by soldiers, even if he wanted to sneak back into the city to find the Vedic Tower for revenge, it would not be so easy.

Therefore, Hua Bushi thought about it, but he couldn't guess the origin of the black-clothed killer at all.

The murder knife left by the man in black is very ordinary, and many people in the rivers and lakes use this kind of steel knife, and they can't find clues from above. After the man in black left, after everyone rushed into the house, Hua Bushi checked the fat that was knocked to the ground, and found that it was not lightly injured, and was slapped by the man in black on the side, and three ribs were broken.

Fat is a large fighting dog with a strong body, fat skin and thick meat, comparable to ordinary dogs, if it is not for the internal strength to shoot, it is not easy to hurt it with bare hands. The man in black beat the fat fat into a serious injury with one palm, and broke several ribs, indicating that this person's palm power was domineering, and he had practiced superior internal skills.

Although there are many warriors in Okura City, most of them are ordinary martial artists who are hired to guard the warehouses of various merchant ships, and there are not many masters with such power.

Since there are not many, it is said that it will not be too difficult to track down. And the man in black was attacked and bitten by a fighting dog in the black room, and he must have left paw prints on his body, which is also a recognizable mark.

Early the next morning, Sima Rulan came to the Bark Sky Tower and learned about the attack on Hua Bushi last night. In Okura Castle, which has always been very peaceful, this kind of night attack and murder can happen, although only a dog was injured this time, but it is impossible for this city lord to not be angry.

After listening to Hua Bushi's account of the details of the black-clothed man's attack, Sima Rulan immediately called the deacon elder Deng Ran and asked him to investigate the whereabouts of the martial artist in the city who practiced palm power last night, trying to find clues.

Deng Ran agreed, but he sent someone to investigate for two days, and checked the more than a dozen martial artists in the city, but he didn't find any suspicious people. These people were either not tall enough to match the black-clad killer of the day, or they had proof that they could not be there that night, and none of them showed signs of being bitten by dogs.

For this result, Hua Bushi is not surprised.

When the man in black chased and killed Hua Bushi and Hai Hongzhu that night, he openly shouted and threatened, and didn't care about alarming others.

The dog was injured because of the brave fighting gangsters, and after Hua Bushi's bone treatment, there was no major problem, the dog's physique was very good, and it would be able to recover as usual after about a month or two of recuperation, and it should be in time to participate in this year's "Zixiao Conference". It's just that training can't be carried out during the recuperation period, and when it comes to the dog fighting conference, it is inevitable that the combat power will be affected.

The shopkeeper of the dog owner "Guangyuan Zhai" did not forgive, Hua Bushi had to apologize again and again, promising that he would cure the fat in time, and also paid more than 10,000 taels of silver, so he could barely settle the matter.

When Fei Fei was sent to the Bark Tower for training, Hua Bushi only received 5,000 taels of silver, but now he has lost more than double, which can be regarded as the first loss-making transaction made by this insatiable young master when he came to Okura City.

After losing the silver taels, Hua Bushi didn't feel distressed, making money and losing money is the way of business, but now he is most worried about the safety of Bark Tianlou.

In the past, whether it was in Wuyang City or Changsha Mansion, this eldest young master was always protected by many masters of the "Evil Dog Gate", and there were many institutions in the sect strongholds where he was on weekdays. But now that I have arrived in Okura City, there is no one around to protect me, and the Bark Sky Tower is completely unfortified, and the situation is not good.

Although the black-clothed killer is not weak, he is not a clever assassin in the final analysis, and these characters also chased Hua Bushi into a mess, which is extremely dangerous, if it is not for the strength of a group of fighting dogs, the consequences will be unimaginable.

If you don't cause trouble, it's just that, but now that you've unfortunately got into trouble, you have to think about defense. And if the identity of the man in black cannot be traced in one day, the other party will definitely still be in the city, and he may come back at any time, and the danger cannot be lifted.

If they can uproot the "Absolute String Palm Poison" in Cao Duyun and Zhu Hong, so that the two of them can recover their martial arts and sit in the Barking Sky Tower, they will no longer have anything to worry about. It's just that although Hua Bushi practiced the knife technique by carving wood every night and made some progress, he still felt that he was not sure of the technique of "cutting the pulse and pulling out the poison", and he had to practice for a while to do it. Moreover, even if such a dangerous operation is carried out to cut the meridians and points of the human body, even if it is successful, the injured person will have to stay in bed for at least a month or two to recover and recover.

There is no one around to us, and it is not realistic to recruit masters. There are many Jianghu martial artists in Okura Castle, but there are not many decent masters, and most of the martial artists are employed by various trading houses. Even if you spend a lot of money to invite a few people, not to mention the inferior martial arts, it is very difficult to trust such temporary stragglers.

Under the current circumstances, the lack of self-protection is like the absence of silver taels, which is really a fatal problem, and it is not easy to strengthen defense. In desperation, Hua Bushi could only think of asking Sima Rulan for help.

Today is the third day of the black-clad man's night attack on the Barking Tower.

Hua Bushi came to the front hall early in the morning, and just waited for Sima Rulan to enter the door as usual, so he immediately stepped forward and said straight to the point that he wanted to ask for help.

After listening to Hua Bushi's words, the eldest lady of the city lord thought for a while and said, "This is also a problem. Some people always do bad things on weekdays, and they will inevitably offend their enemies, and it is indeed not easy for others to deal with their troubles. ”

Hua Bushi smiled bitterly: "Xiao Ke has been honestly training dogs for a living when he arrived in Okura City, how have he ever done any bad things, and I don't know how to offend the enemy, even I myself am inexplicable." This matter is not difficult to deal with, Miss Lan'er only needs to send some soldiers to my barking tower to help the guards, and it will surely be able to deter the murderer from coming again. ”

Sima Rulan coughed lightly and said, "It is said that the Bark Heavenly Tower is opened in Okura City, and our City Lord's Mansion should protect your safety, but there are hundreds of merchants in this city, if each one wants us to send soldiers to guard it, they will save the silver taels for hiring the bodyguards of the courtyard, but where does our City Lord's Mansion have so many manpower?"

In order to lose weight for the princess a few days ago, Hua Bushi used the method of forcibly inducing laxatives with drugs, and Sima Rulan has been kept in the dark, and he also brought a lot of food from the City Lord's Mansion every day to feed the big white dog.

Seeing that the princess was getting thinner and thinner, Sima Rulan had already become suspicious, and it wasn't until yesterday that the "easy-to-pass" beast tamer Zang Dong inadvertently said that he had to reveal the truth under her questioning. Sima Rulan suddenly realized, and couldn't help gritting her teeth and hating Hua Bushi.

Today, I happened to meet this young master of Hua asking for help, and the opportunity was rare, Sima Rulan wanted to sell some passes, and made him embarrassed.

Hua Bushi didn't know the reason, and he didn't know that he was betrayed by Zang Dong, so he only felt that the eldest lady's attitude today seemed to be a little abnormal, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Hua Bushi really has no other way, so he begged Miss Lan'er for help." Miss, you can rest assured, we will not let the City Lord's Mansion send someone to guard it in vain, and we are willing to pay silver taels, which will be counted as salary compensation for the people of your hall. ”

Sima Rulan's face sank, and she said: "My City Lord's Mansion is not a martial arts company, and I never accept the business of bodyguards and guards! Besides, the people of our City Lord's Mansion will ask you to pay your salary, and it is great if you have a few dollars in Bark Tianlou!"

Hua Bushi was stunned and said, "Miss Lan'er, don't misunderstand, Xiao Ke will never dare to think like this." ”

Sima Rulan looked at Hua Bushi's sad face, suddenly smiled, and said: "You want me to send someone to protect the Bark Sky Tower, it's not impossible, in fact, this bodyguard to protect the courtyard, our City Lord's Mansion occasionally does nothing." ”

Hua Bushi immediately turned his worries into joy and said: "Then Xiao Ke thank Miss Lan'er for her righteous help! That killer is still in the city now, I don't know when he will come again, so please send someone quickly, and we will definitely entertain ...... Tianlou."

Sima Rulan softened and said, "Wait! Since it's the business of the bodyguard home, we have to clarify the price first." If you want the City Lord's Mansion to send someone, the daily salary will be 1,000 taels, and Mr. Hua only needs to pay for the last month's expenses first, and bring 30,000 silver taels, and the guards of the City Lord's Mansion will arrive immediately!"

As soon as these words came out, Hua Bushi was dumbfounded.

A few days ago, Bark Tianlou newly earned two fighting dogs, and indeed earned tens of thousands of silver taels, but all kinds of expenses during this period of time, plus 10,000 taels of compensation to "Guangyuan Zhai" for fat injuries, and now the remaining silver in Hua Bushi's hands is only more than 30,000 taels, and now Sima Rulan is a lion with his mouth wide open, wanting to swallow all the money of Bark Tianlou.

Previously, Nahe Xilou only wanted to forcibly occupy half of the share of Vedic Heavenly Tower, but I didn't expect this Lan'er eldest lady to be even more ruthless.
