In ancient times, the transportation facilities were inconvenient, and the logs were transported from the upper reaches of the river, which could not be carried by boats, and were often rolled into the river, and dozens of giant trees were tied into a row with ropes, and the so-called "row workers" were guarded by the so-called "row workers" and drifted down the river, which was the so-called "release row".

The water in the river is turbulent, and if the person who releases the row does not have a certain amount of martial arts, he will not be able to stand firm on the wooden row at all. And even if he has martial arts, the career of the platoon is also very dangerous, and the day is precarious, so it is extremely difficult to restrain the best in the platoon teaching. And the big and small "leaders" among them are like the leaders of the wolves, and they are all very powerful characters.

In the Ming Dynasty, "Pai Jiao" was not only in charge of the release of the river on the river, but also had many industries on the land, as if it had become a strong sect of the rivers and lakes. Among the major gangs in Xiangjing, "Paijiao" ranks third, second only to the "Hengshan faction" and the "Dongting Gang", and the people in the "Paijiao" are known for their bravery, acting toughly, fighting at every turn, and would rather bleed to death than make half a concession, and any sect that provokes them will have a great headache.

Chu Yiyi said: "Of course, what the concubine is talking about is them. I have received news that Chen Aqi, the 'chief leader', has rushed to Changsha with more than 400 masters of the 'platoon teaching' and will arrive in three days. ”

There is no leader in the "Pai Sect", and the head of the sect is called the "Chief Pai Leader", which is a title that has been handed down for hundreds of years by the founding of the gang.

Hua Bushi frowned, and said: "It seems that Changsha City has become a piece of fat in the eyes of everyone, even the 'Paijiao', who has been in northern Hunan for a long time and has never gone south, has to come to plot!"

The "Nine Immortals Society" in Changsha City was destroyed, the "Dongting Gang" was greatly injured, and several of the most powerful gangs in the city were hit hard, and now the city is even more chaotic, and it is natural that it is regarded as fat by other strong shili in the Hunan realm.

Chu Yiyi said: "The more than 400 people brought by Chen Aqi are all the elite of the 'Pai Sect', and there are more than 10 'Pai Leaders', I don't know what Hua Gongzi thinks, how many chances can you have if you four factions Alliance fights with them?"

Hua Bushi groaned slightly, and said: "The strength of the 'Dongting Gang' was originally slightly above the 'Pai Jiao', but now that the fifth brother has passed away, the people in the gang are scattered, and the strength is greatly damaged. According to Xiao Ke, if there were no brave troublemakers in the rivers and lakes, we would still be six or seven percent sure that the 'Pai Jiao' would be repelled, and the current situation, the victory or defeat is about five or five. ”

Chu Yiyi said: "Childe has seen people, and it is not wrong to estimate it." If the opponent adds the 'Hengshan faction', what chance does Hua Gongzi have of winning?"

Hua Bushi's face changed suddenly, and he said, "What are you talking about, the 'Hengshan faction' is also coming?"

Chu Yiyi said: "Yiyi received a report that Yue Hanshan, the head of the 'Hengshan faction', and the two elders in the sect, with 200 disciples, have set off from Hengshan and are heading north by boat along the Xiangjiang River, and the time they arrived in Changsha is also three days later. ”

Hua Bushi stood for a long time, walked to the sandalwood chair and sat down, and after a while he stood up again, and paced back and forth in the room with his feet raised, with an expression on his face like a wild dog that could not eat bones.

Chu Yiyi stood on the ground, watching the eldest young master's every move, but remained silent.

After pacing for five or six laps, Hua Bushi finally stopped and said, "Thank you Mrs. Yiyi for informing Xiao Ke of such important news, in Madame's opinion, how should Hua Bushi deal with the attack of two strong enemies?"

Chu Yiyi said: "As the saying goes, 'a good man doesn't suffer losses in front of him', now that the enemy is too strong, the chances of your four-faction alliance winning are extremely small, in the opinion of the concubine, it is better for the prince to take his disciples to return to Wuyang City temporarily, avoid it for a while, you can stay out of the matter, and you can also preserve your strength." Wouldn't it be good to wait until all parties in Changsha City are fighting for the same thing, and then quietly come back to grab some benefits?"

Hua Bushi nodded and said, "What a 'snipe and clam fight, fishermen profit' strategy! It's just that if I leave, the 'Iron Sword Sect' and the Shen family will definitely not stay in this city, and the 'Dongting Gang' will fight alone, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape the result of annihilation." ”

Chu Yiyi said: "If the 'Dongting Gang' withdraws from this city, it will naturally be preserved, if they don't retreat, even if they are destroyed, who can be blamed, Gongzi is a smart person, why should he accompany them to die?"

Hua Bushi said: "Changsha City is where the general altar of the 'Dongting Gang' is located, and most of the foundation of the gang is in this city, giving up Changsha City is equivalent to losing most of the 'Dongting Gang', with Meng Qingshan's character, he will definitely not retreat." ”

Chu Yiyi said: "The so-called people die for money, birds die for food, Second Master Meng is reluctant to build the foundation in the city, and there is no way." ”

Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "No, I can't watch the Fifth Brother's sect being exterminated by others like this." ”

Chu Yiyi said: "Does that son have another good plan?"

Hua Bushi said: "I don't have any strategy, since I can't retreat, I can only fight." I'm going to have a big battle with the 'Hengshan Faction' and the 'Pai Sect' to see who has the ability to take this city!"

Chu Yiyi frowned slightly, and looked at Hua Bushi, this eldest young master was still going back and forth in the house just now, hesitating at a loss, but at this time, he was full of spirits, and he looked very carried away, which was really very strange.

She thought for a moment before she spoke, "I think it's not the best policy to stay in this city. If Gongzi wants to provoke the 'Hengshan faction' and the 'Pai Sect' to fight at that time, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed, these two sects are one south and one north, and they come to attack at the same time, and the action can be so tacit, Yue Hanshan and Chen Aqi are likely to have an agreement between them, as soon as they arrive in Changsha City, they will first join forces to deal with your four faction alliance, and at that time they can only rely on their strength to fight, and there is no other way out. ”

Hua Bushi said: "I didn't plan to win them with stratagem, of course, I will fight them out with my strength!"

Chu Yiyi felt even more strange, she knew that Hua was not good at strategy, she was not a reckless man who loved the courage of blood and blood, at this time, she was obviously not strong, but she had to fight a decisive battle with the other party, could it be that her mind was dizzy?

She thought of how hard she had come to report the news, and how kindly she gave him advice and persuaded him to leave, but he didn't listen to good advice and had to go to death, and she couldn't help but feel a little angry.

But he heard Hua Bushi and said: "Could it be that Mrs. Yiyi thinks that I can only save my life by escaping, and I don't have the ability to fight with those two factions, then I can't underestimate Hua Bushi!"

Chu Yiyi said: "How dare Yiyi underestimate Gongzi Hua, if Gongzi wants to fight, the concubine will burn incense and pray to the Buddha, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless Gongzi with victory." ”

Hua Bushi said: "You still said that you didn't underestimate me! You clearly had a look of disdain on your face, and said that you asked the Bodhisattva to bless me with victory, and you must have felt that without the blessing of the Bodhisattva, Hua Bushi would have failed, right?"

Seeing his coercive appearance, Chu Yiyi's anger in his heart increased a little, and said, "If the son wants to think like this, Yiyi has no choice." ”

Hua Bushi said: "Then do you believe that I will win?"

Chu Yiyi said: "What if you believe it, what if you don't believe it, what does the son want to follow?"

Hua Bushi suddenly smiled and said, "If Madam doesn't believe it, we might as well make a bet." ”

Chu Yiyi said: "What are you betting on?"

Hua Bushi said: "Just bet on the outcome of this battle, if I win this battle, even if I win, if I lose, my wife will win, how?"

Chu Yiyi said: "What is the bet, now Yiyi doesn't have much silver to bet with his son." ”

Hua Bushi said: "With Mrs. Yiyi's peerless elegance, why do you need to bet on silver two, just bet on you and me, how about it?"

Chu Yiyi said: "You and me, how can you be a bet?"

Hua Bushi said: "Which of us wins, the loser loses to the other party, and from now on we must obey the other party's orders and are not allowed to disobey, this is the bet." ”

Chu Yiyi said: "This bet is really not small, do you have to obey everything?"

Hua Bushi said: "Yes, if the lady is afraid that she will lose, she can also change it to only bet ten taels of silver, how about it?"

Ten taels of silver, compared with the bet Hua Bushi said just now, it is simply a heaven and an underground! But Hua Bushi specifically mentioned in his words that if Chu Yiyi wants to change the bet, it will become "afraid of losing", this kind of betting is originally to fight for a breath, and before the bet is opened, he has to admit that he is afraid of losing, of course Chu Yiyi can't accept it.

Chu Yiyi stared at Hua Bushi's eyes, suddenly smiled, and said, "Hua Gongzi is really cunning, Yiyi almost fell for Gongzi!"

Hua Bushi said: "Xiao Ke is sincerely betting with Mrs. Yiyi, why does Mrs. say I am cunning?"

Chu Yiyi said: "If Gongzi wins, Yiyi will lose himself to Gongzi, but if Yiyiru wins, Gongzi loses this battle, and his life is gone, what can I win, so you always make sure you don't lose, Yiyi can't get anything, Hua Gongzi set such conditions to deceive Yiyi to gamble, don't you say it's not cunning?"

Hua Bushi smiled slightly and said: "Mrs. Yiyi is really witty, people who are good at gambling bet with others, and they want to strive to make a steady profit without losing money, so I will add a condition to let Mrs. make a steady profit and not lose money in this game, okay?"

Chu Yiyi looked surprised and said, "Could it be that Gongzi can still make sure that in this gambling game, both of us will make sure that we don't lose money?"

Hua Bushi said: "Of course, does Madam want to hear it?"

Chu Yiyi said: "Please explain." ”

Hua Bushi said: "That day, Xiao Ke invited Mrs. to join the 'Evil Dog Gate', and Mrs. thought that the strength of this sect was too weak to match the people in the Demon Dao, so she refused to accept the invitation, so you and I had an agreement to make a decision after three months." Now I set the conditions of this gamble as if I win, Mrs. Yiyi loses to Xiao Ke, but Xiao Ke must help Mrs. take revenge and kill the lifeless old demon, how about it?"

He paused slightly, and then said: "In this way, if Hua Bushi loses this battle, Mrs. Yiyi wins the gamble, she will naturally lose nothing, and if I win this battle and defeat the 'Hengshan faction' and 'Paijiao', the two top two sects in Hunan realm, it will also prove the strength of this sect, and Mrs. has obtained the promise of Xiao Ke's help and revenge, even if she loses to Xiao Ke, isn't it also a matter of getting what she wants, and making sure you don't lose money?"
