Hua Bushi looked at Sima Rulan, but showed a surprised expression.

When he was beaten by a crowd of passers-by on the street that day, Sima Rulan also took action to pull out the crowd to save him from it, but at that time, Hua Bushi had not yet escaped for his life, and he had no time to take a closer look at Sima Rulan's martial arts. It wasn't until she shot down Xiong Tiannan just now that Hua Bushi saw that this eldest lady, who was less than twenty years old, was actually familiar with Shaolin's "seventy-two stunts"!

According to legend, the "Shaolin Seventy-two Stunts" was created by the Bodhidharma Patriarch, which has been passed down for thousands of years in the sect, and is also the foundation of the Shaolin Temple's Xiongxiong according to the head of the Central Plains martial arts family. These peerless martial arts, ordinary Shaolin disciples, do not have the qualifications to practice at all, and it is extremely difficult to practice, and as long as they practice one of the stunts, they can become a first-class master in the martial arts.

The dark power of "fighting cattle across the mountains", Hua Bushi had seen the Yuanguang master of the Shaolin School perform it once on Wanyi Island. Master Yuanguang is the host of one of the eight Shaolin halls, "Dushan Hall", whether it is martial arts or status, he can be ranked among the top ten in Shaolin Temple, and his age is not young. Sima Rulan is just a girl under the age of twenty, and she has also practiced Shaolin stunts, which really surprised Dehua Bushi.

Among the young women Hua Bushi has seen in his life, there are two people with the best martial arts qualifications and the highest martial arts, one is Yang Jiangyi, and the other is Zhuo Yiwen, one of the "six uniques" under the Wusheng Old Demon Sect, and now he has seen the third person, who is the eldest lady of the city lord of Okura City in front of him.

Among the three of them, Sima Rulan is the youngest, and her experience in facing the enemy is not as good as the other two daughters, but what she practices is the most authentic Shaolin martial arts, if the three of them fight, they may not lose to Yang Jiangyi and Zhuo Yiwen.

Seeing that the eldest young master was staring at him intently, Sima Rulan couldn't help but blush, and said, "What are you doing looking at me like this?"

Hua Bushi came back to his senses at this time, and said busily: "Miss Lan'er's Shaolin stunt really opened Hua Bushi's eyes, and it was rude to forget his feelings in the next moment." ”

Sima Rulanqi said: "It turns out that you, a stingy man who is a money addict, in addition to taming dogs to make money, actually know martial arts, and you can also see that I am using Shaolin stunts, which also opens my eyes!"

Hua Bushi sneered: "The eldest lady is laughing, she can be regarded as a person in the rivers and lakes, and she knows a little about the martial arts of various sects. ”

Sima Rulan grinned and said, "Okay, now the annoying person is gone." Arrange a place for me to stay, and from this day on, Miss Ben will be staying here!"

Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Miss Lan'er still listens to that Brother Xiong's words and goes back to the City Lord's Mansion." Now that there are many unpleasant rumors in the city, although Hua Bushi doesn't care, why should the young lady do this to leave a truth for those rumors?"

Sima Rulan looked at Hua Bushi's eyes and said, "Mr. Hua, are we friends?"

Hua Bushi said: "Thanks to Miss Lan'er, of course we can be regarded as friends." ”

Sima Rulan said: "When you encounter a problem and ask me for help, you treat me as a friend, just now Lan'er asked you for silver taels, just a joke with you, a money-obsessed ghost." Righteousness comes first on the rivers and lakes, and friends are in trouble, so I should help them with all my might, so what's wrong with me staying in the Bark Tower?"

This delicate city lord eldest lady seems to have become a chivalrous man in an instant, looking at her awe-inspiring expression, it seems that she will not frown for the sake of her friend.

Hua Bushi smiled bitterly: "But living in our Bar Sky Tower, it will definitely damage Miss Lan'er's reputation, although the gossip is nonsense, it will also hurt people, please think twice." ”

Sima Rulan looked at Hua Bushi, suddenly suppressed her smile, and said, "Actually, I stayed in the Bark Sky Tower, and it wasn't all to help you. ”

Hua Bushi was stunned and said, "Oh, what did Miss Lan'er do?"

Sima Rulan said: "When Daddy left the island, he once ordered me to guard Okura City, but now the city is very chaotic, not only is there a group of bullies like He Xilou who bully people and forcibly extort merchants, but now there are people who openly attack and kill people at night, if Lan'er can't capture and eradicate that killer, when Daddy returns to the island, how can I explain to his old man?"

Hua Bushi said: "Actually, there are bullies and villains everywhere in this shijie, even if there are one or two in Okura City, it is not the fault of the city lord's mansion, how can you blame Miss Lan'er." ”

Sima Rulan said: "Mr. Hua, do you know what Daddy's purpose was in building this Okura City back then?"

Hua Bushi said: "Sima City Lord controls the 'Wanjin Hall', and he thinks that he built this city in the middle of the South China Sea in order to make the ocean trade between the Middle-earth continent and the western countries more convenient. ”

Sima Rulan shook her head and said, "Actually, ocean trade is just a means to make Okura prosperous, not the original purpose of establishing this city. When my father took me and my mother to explore the Whale Swallowing Island, it was not for the sake of greedy treasures, but before the departure, my father had already decided to use all the treasures he obtained to help the displaced people and poor farmers in various realms in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Hua Bushi said: "Uncle can have such a compassionate heart, he deserves to be a famous hero in Jiangnan." ”

Sima Rulan said: "My mother died due to the ambush, and my father got the treasure in the secret cave, but he didn't take it to help the poor as he thought before. It was because my father found out after returning to Jiangnan that the poverty of the people, even if they used more silver taels to help, it would be useless, just because their poverty and poverty were not due to the lack of silver taels, but due to the way of the world today. ”

What Sima Rulan said was a little difficult to understand, but Hua Bushi heard it in his ears and understood it very well in his heart.

Today's great tomorrow, the court is corrupt, the emperor is mediocre, the Quartet is full of robbers, the Manchu iron cavalry invades the Central Plains, burning, killing and looting all kinds of evil, plus years of floods and droughts...... All these calamities, the formation of the world in this chaotic world of Shura, the people are displaced, poor, and even their lives are not guaranteed, how can they be changed with some treasures?

Sima Rulan continued: "Daddy once said to Lan'er that in the turbulent times of the Ming Dynasty, it is no longer human power that can be changed, so he is determined to open up a place outside the world, a happy land where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. Daddy used all the treasures he got to build this Okura Castle, hoping to create an ideal paradise where there was no strife and plunder, and there was no crime and killing. ”

Hearing this, Hua Bushi's face was already moved.

He had always believed that this Okura Castle was a stronghold for the "Wanjintang" to trade in ocean-going shipping, and Sima spent 10,000 gold to build the city just to accumulate more wealth. Hearing what Sima Rulan said, Hua Bushi knew that the construction of this great city on the sea was out of Sima's compassionate heart to help the world, and the paradise pursued by this Sima City Lord was actually similar to the eldest young master's own ideals, all in order to reduce the evil and killing in this world, but in different ways.

It was only now that he had a sincere admiration for the Mr. Ma Da he met on the Xiangyue Mountain Road that day.

Sima Rulan said again: "Daddy's wish is also Lan'er's wish. Although my father is not in the city now, I must not let the killing happen in the city, and as for the gossip on the streets and alleys, Lan'er will not take it to heart at all!"

Hua Bushi stood up from the chair and said deeply: "The righteous deeds of Sima City Lord and Miss Lan'er really make Hua Bushi admire him a lot, and he is ashamed of himself, and the virtue of helping Miss is here in advance!"

When he first met Sima Rulan, Hua Bushi once thought that she was just a little girl who didn't understand the world, but then after the incident of He Xilou, he found that she was smart and witty, jealous and hateful, and had a sense of justice. It was only at this time that Hua Bushi really understood the eldest lady of the city lord, and he also believed that the future city lord of the Great Warehouse must be none other than this delicate Miss Lan'er.

With the best martial arts, fair and decisive, informal, and benevolent, even if she is a daughter, but she is not allowed to shave her eyebrows, who else can be more suitable than her to be the lord of the big cang?

Although the Wujin courtyard behind the ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ floor is not large, there are only more than ten people in the Vedic Sky Tower, plus the hired partners, so there is no shortage of rooms.

The accommodation arranged by Hua Bushi for Sima Rulan was a cross-courtyard on the east side. And those who lived in the Bar Sky Tower with Sima Rulan were also two maids and ten guards from the City Lord's Mansion. Yahuan came to wait for the young lady, and lived in the same courtyard as Sima Rulan, while the soldier was placed in the wing room in the front yard.

With so many people to protect, the defense of the Bark Sky Tower has increased greatly, and if the black-clothed killer dares to attack, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to please him, but it will be difficult to escape.

In this way, Hua Bushi can train the dog with peace of mind, and Sima Rulan feeds the princess every day, and watching Hua Bushi train the dog, it also saves the trouble of going back and forth from the city lord's mansion to the barking sky.

The days slipped by day by day, and in a blink of an eye, the dog training workshop had officially opened for a month and a half, and it had been ten days since Sima Rulan moved to live in the barking sky.

The hazy and bad weather that had lasted for a long time in the South China Sea finally improved, the storm was about to pass, the wind on the sea was much less, and large ships were able to sail at sea. I believe that it will not be long before ocean-going cargo ships will arrive on Okura Island, and the cargo trade, which has been suspended for nearly two months at the port, will be booming again.

And there is only one month left before the annual "Zixiaotai Dog Fighting Conference".

On storm-stricken days, merchants with no business to do were bored. It seems that going to the Barking Sky Tower to watch the dog training and discuss the slander of the "evil dog boy" Hua Bushi and the eldest lady of the city lord seems to have become a popular fashion thing that everyone in Okura Castle does every day.
