Hua Bushi arched his hand and said, "In this way, Hua Bushi should call Boss Wu 'Lord Dragon King', it's really disrespectful!"

Long Tingzu said indifferently: "The name is just a title, it doesn't matter how Brother Hua wants to call it." ”

Hua Bushi said: "As the lord of an island and the pirate king of the South China Sea, the Dragon King did not hesitate to deign to be the boss of the restaurant, and personally led us to the Black Dragon City, and the thoughtfulness of hospitality etiquette really made Hua Bushi very flattered!"

Hua Bushi's words were quite sarcastic, but Long Tingzu was not angry at all when he heard it, and said: "Actually, the 'Taibai Residence' in Longtoe Town is indeed opened by this king, I often go to that hotel to be a shopkeeper for a few days, and the disciples of the Dragon Palace on the island are drinking in the restaurant, but they don't know anything. ”

The corners of his mouth curled, and he chuckled: "In fact, compared to being the master of this Dragon Palace, being a hotel owner is much more relaxed and comfortable, and you can always taste all kinds of fine wines, which is really a happy thing in life, Brother Hua is also a person who loves wine, I must be able to understand my mind!"

Hua Bushi said: "After the award, where can I guess the thoughts of Lord Dragon King?"

Long Tingzu said: "Brother Hua, can't you guess why this king personally led the way to bring you to Black Dragon City? To be honest, that Mr. Qiu is strong in martial arts, and he has practiced the innate magic skills, that is, it is not easy for this king to hide from him and pretend that he does not know martial arts, and he is not completely sure. ”

Hua Bushi said, "Oh, why did Lord Dragon King make such a risky move?"

You must know that in Longtoe Town before, if this "Boss Wu" was found by Qiu Hengbo to have supreme internal strength, there were many masters such as Cao Duyun and Xiong Bailing by his side at that time, even if his martial arts were high, there was a risk that he would be outnumbered and killed by everyone.

Long Tingzu's eyes were like stars, his eyes turned to Hua Bushi, and said: "Actually, this king's move is not for anything else, just to meet Brother Hua for a while and see the demeanor of Brother Tai." ”

Hua Bushi couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said: "I am neither a peerless beauty, nor a hero, why would Lord Dragon King take such a risk in order to see Hua Bushi's side?"

There was no smile on Long Tingzu's face, and he said seriously: "On that day, Qiao Shuangchou came back from Okura Island, and told this king about the battle, and told me about the defeat at the hands of Brother Hua on the giant shark ship. ”

Hua Bushi said: "In the battle of the siege of the island that day, it was not under Qiao Shuangchou who defeated him, Hua Bushi's body and no martial arts are well known, but I am afraid that I will disappoint Lord Longwang." ”

Long Tingzu shook his head and said: "If it wasn't for Brother Hua finding out Qiao Shuangchou's knife path that day, why would he have failed? Although Qiao Shuangchou's sword skills are good, and the art of naval warfare has also obtained the true inheritance of this king, there is no strategy of Brother Hua, if there is such a capable person as Brother Hua under the command of this king, there will be no defeat on the day. ”

Hua Bushi chuckled and said, "Lord Dragon King is so fond of love, don't you want Hua Bushi to abandon the secret and turn to the light and join the 'Black Dragon Palace' as an errand instead?"

Long Tingzu still stared at Hua Bushi's eyes and said, "This king has this intention. ”

Hua Bushi raised his eyebrows, as if sarcastic, and as if sneering, and said, "I didn't expect the Dragon King to laugh." ”

Long Tingzu said with a straight face: "This king knows that Brother Hua is a person in charge, and he wants you to be thrown into the 'Black Dragon Palace', even if he takes out the position of the head of the 'Nine Dragons', most of Brother Hua will still be reluctant." Is it because this king retreats and proposes that you and I become allies and plan together, what does Brother Hua mean?"

Hua Bushi smiled, but did not say a word.

Long Tingzu took a deep breath and said, "If Brother Hua is willing to form an alliance with our 'Black Dragon Palace', this king can guarantee that not only will the East China Sea and the South China Sea belong to you and me, but within three years, we will be able to dominate the twelve regions and thirteen provinces on the Middle Earth Continent, and none of the black and white realms will dare not submit to this king and Brother Hua!"

Hua Bushi's eyes moved, and he asked, "Is this true? What can the Dragon King do to dominate the Central Plains within three years? As far as I know, the Dragon Palace has always only been active at sea, and rarely go ashore. ”

If he can dominate the Daming Jianghu, it will of course be a big temptation for Hua Bushi, which is his long-standing ideal. It's just that if this matter is to be achieved within a few years, even the largest sect in the martial arts such as Shaolin Wudang, or Shili, an alliance like the "World Alliance" that dominates the underworld in the world, does not dare to boast of such a Haikou.

If the person who said this was not the Black Dragon King, Hua Bushi would definitely treat it as nonsense and laugh it off. However, Long Tingzu put it forward as a condition for the alliance between the two sides, it should not be a simple mouthful, at least it will be relied on.

This kind of reliance is by no means an ordinary few rivers and lakes shili, or a few top masters can be achieved, there must be enough to influence the entire great tomorrow liliang, Hua Bushi really can't think of what the Black Dragon King's reliance will be for a while.

Long Tingzu said: "This king dares to assure Brother Hua that he should be sure of realization, as for how to achieve it, Brother Hua promised to form an alliance, and I will tell you the details." There is no sect in the world that can put forward such conditions as this king, why don't Brother Hua consider one or two?"

Hua Bushi lowered his head and groaned, and only said after a while: "No, I still can't agree to this matter." ”

Long Tingzu said: "Brother Hua doesn't agree, dare it be because of Okura City?" In fact, our 'Black Dragon Palace' and Okura City have no real conflict of interest, you and I have an alliance, this king can promise that in the future, the Dragon Palace people will not invade Okura Island again, and it is okay to turn enemies into friends with them." ”

As soon as he said this, Sima Rulan had already preemptively said: "Mr. Hua, don't listen to his nonsense! The Black Dragon King killed my father and killed many disciples of the 'Wanjin Hall', who wants to turn enemies into friends with them!"

Long Tingzu smiled coldly and said, "Miss Sima, before this, you and I were enemies, and your father was indeed killed by my instructions, but why didn't he want to kill me? Many of you 'Wanjin Hall' died at our hands, but many of the members of the Dragon Palace were also killed by you, how can you calculate the account clearly?"

He turned his gaze to Hua Bushi and said: "Mr. Hua's alliance with the 'Wanjintang' is nothing more than because he likes the prosperity and wealth of Okura Castle, and it is profitable in the city, in fact, the wealth of this king is more than that of Okura Castle, and the ability to build and govern is by no means under Sima Chafeng. ”

Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "I refused to agree, not because of this. If I remember correctly, Cao Duyun also had an alliance with the 'Black Dragon Palace', but the Dragon King betrayed his promise and wanted to kill him outside of Wanyi Island. If Hua Bushi agrees to form an alliance today, I'm afraid it won't be two days, and he will repeat the mistakes of Cao Gongzi, so how can I trust you?"

Long Tingzu blinked his eyes and said, "Brother Hua only knows that the Dragon Palace has always acted on the sea and rarely acts on land, but he must not know that in the past five years, this king has not stayed on this Black Dragon Island for most of his time, but has walked in various realms on the Middle-earth Continent. ”

He had been persuading Hua Bushi to agree to form an alliance, but at this time he suddenly diverted the topic, which was quite surprising.

Hua Bushi said: "Yes, I think the Dragon King is tired of staying on this island, so he went to the mainland to play and relax?"

Long Tingzu said: "It's not bad to play and relax, but the main thing this king does in Middle-earth is to get acquainted with the officials of the dynasty. The magnates in the Ming court, the Donglin, Qi, Zhejiang, and Chu parties, and even the eunuchs of the eunuch party, this king knows a lot, if it weren't for this, how would I know that Cao Duyun went south by secret order and used him to set up a plan to assassinate Sima Zhufeng. ”

Hearing that Long Tingzu mentioned the assassination of his father again, Sima Rulan clenched her teeth, her beautiful eyes burst into flames, and she was about to step forward with a sword, but was stopped by Yang Jiangyi on the side.

Hua Bushi said suddenly: "It turns out that the Dragon King said before to dominate the Central Plains, dare you want to use the power of the imperial court?"

Long Tingzu didn't answer, but asked: "Brother Hua, do you know that I am the pirate king in the South China Sea, and those eunuchs are still willing to associate with me even if they know the identity of this king, and even call me a brother, what is the reason?"

Hua Bushi thought for a while and said, "Probably because Lord Dragon King is bold and generous. ”

Long Tingzu daxiao said: "Brother Hua is really smart! Those officials of the imperial court, regardless of their rank, can be as little as thousands of taels or as many as more than 10,000 taels of silver, and they are willing to do anything, not to say that they are friends with me, but to ask them to kneel on the ground and kowtow to me, even if they are afraid, they are all willing." ”

After he laughed a few times, his face suddenly sank, and said: "Such a group of officials with no integrity at all, such a dilapidated court, has long been rotten to the roots, that emperor's old son Zhu Youzhen, compared to Shang Xia Wei, is not much more worried, it is only a matter of time before he is pushed down and destroyed by others, I want to dominate the Central Plains, how can these people be reliable!"

Hua Bushi is also well aware of the mediocrity and corruption of today's imperial court, but he is also irrefutable about Long Tingzu's words, so he has to sigh lightly and remain silent. The eldest young master was secretly thinking in his heart, if the Black Dragon King didn't rely on the power of the government, how could he dominate the Ming Dynasty within a few years, could it be that he relied on the foreign enemy of the Ming Dynasty, so what was the purpose of spending so much silver taels to make friends with the court officials?

Long Tingzu saw Hua Bushi bowing his head and was silent, and said: "Although Cao Duyun also has some skills, he is also a rare handsome figure in the official mansion, but it is a pity that his mind is too stupid, and his Cao family has too deep a relationship with the Ming court to get out." The so-called difference in the Tao is not a breach of trust in him, but a deal that is just a ploy to take advantage of him. ”
