The situation in Yu Realm today is really much more chaotic and complicated than Hua Bushi had expected.

Among them, there are not only the disputes between the Jianghu sects and the black and white sects, but also the battles between the officers and soldiers and the rebels, as well as the struggles between the various parties in the DPRK and China within the government, and the situation changes so quickly that it is very appropriate to describe it as a pot of messy porridge. Even for organizations like "Thousand Flowers", it is not easy to collect more comprehensive information about all parties in the Yu Realm.

In terms of the Baidao sect, the leading self-contained in Henan is none other than the "Shaolin faction", but the Songshan where the "Shaolin faction" is located is not a prosperous place, and it is a Zen temple, which is not convenient for taking care of lay affairs, so most of the industries under its door are handed over to the management of the side branch sect, and these industries are all over the provinces and cities, which is not a small number.

In the Yu realm, the "Luohan Gate" is the largest side branch of the "Shaolin School", most of the "Shaolin School" industries are operated by the "Luohan Gate", the owner of the "Six Provinces Boxing King" Fang Changsheng is a Shaolin lay disciple, and most of the masters under the "Luohan Gate" are also from the Shaolin Temple. The connections and martial arts inheritance of the two factions are all connected, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the "Luohan Gate" represents the interests of the "Shaolin School" in Yujing, and the other sects Shili dare not compete with it.

This supremacy lasted for many years, and it was only a few months ago that it was suddenly broken. There was a shili in the Yu realm, and he actually dared to call out to the "Luohan Gate", and the balance of power was formed for a while, and no one could help anyone.

This shili is called "Fugui League", and the initiator is the head of the "Wangwu faction", the owner of "Fugui Villa", Zuo Junhua.

The "Wangwu faction" is a Taoist sect, which has nothing to do with Shaolin, but is somewhat implicated in the "Wudang faction". Of course, this kind of ranking is already separated by many heavy relationships, and it is probably difficult to beat with eight sticks.

Although the "Wangwu faction" is not a famous faction, the "Rich Villa" is just like its name, and it has the wealth and industry of the rich side. Three months ago, Zuo Junhua co-opted more than a dozen small and medium-sized sects in Yujing and announced the establishment of the "Rich Alliance", and then there were many conflicts with the "Luohan Gate", all for the sake of turf and industrial interests.

There are many masters in the "Luohan Sect", and there is the "Shaolin Faction" as the backstage, of course, it is not easy to confront it, but the "Fugui League" is not only the liliang of the more than ten small sects, but also the support of the entire Yujing underworld. It is said that Chu Changting, the chief scoop of the Yujing Underworld League, has already made a marriage with Zuo Junhua's youngest daughter Zuo Jingjing and has become the quasi-son-in-law of "Fugui Villa".

Chu Changting is only twenty-six years old, but he is a rare young master in the "World Alliance", ranking fifteenth on the "Black Wind Record". The Taohuayu Water Village he occupies is located on the Yellow River at the boundary of Suizhou, with thousands of people and horses in the village, and Shili is strong. Moreover, as the leading boss of the underworld alliance in the Yu realm, the people and horses of dozens of underworld cottages in Henan are all dispatched by Chu Changting.

With the intervention of the underworld, the conflict between the "Luohan Sect" and the "Rich Alliance" not only failed to take advantage, but suffered a lot of losses, just because compared to the disciples of the ordinary Baidao sect, the methods of the people in the underworld are more ruthless, and they have no scruples about starting at all.

There have been months of clashes between the two sides, and there have been casualties, but the leaders have never faced each other head-on. In terms of fame, Fang Changsheng, the "boxing king of the six provinces" who ranked first in the boxing method of the six provinces of the Central Plains, is much more than Zuo Junhua, the head of the "Wangwu faction", and even Chu Changting should be inferior to Fang Changsheng in terms of martial arts.

There is another reason why the "Luohan Gate" can't help the "Rich Alliance", that is, Zuo Junhua has the support of the imperial court. Zuo Liangyu, the nephew of the left member, is the chief soldier of Changping Town, an important place in Gyeonggi, and belongs to the Donglin Party, and Zuo Junhua's biggest reliance in the Yu realm is not the underworld league, but Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Mingxuan, who has tens of thousands of heavy soldiers and is also a member of the Donglin Party.

With the support of the governor of the imperial court, no matter how strong the "Luohan Gate" is, it is not so easy to swallow the "Rich Alliance" in one bite.

Famous factions such as the "Luohan Gate" and the "Shaolin School" are of course not completely rooted in the government, and the foundation of these two factions is Fan Jingwen, the governor of Henan. Fan Jingwen is an official with three grades, no less grade than Zhang Zongheng, and among the three major parties of the current dynasty, he belongs to one of the elders of the Five Kings Party.

The struggle between the three parties in the DPRK and China has long been fierce, and this is also the case in the Yujing territory. In order to weaken Fan Jingwen's power in the local area, the Donglin Party continued to install its own cronies in various state capitals, and the Nanyang general soldier You Shilu was one of them.

The antagonism between the "Luohan Sect", the "Shaolin School" and the "Fugui League" is not only a contradiction between the Jianghu sects and black and white, but has also evolved into a tool for rival parties in the imperial court. As for whether the Jianghu sect took advantage of the Shili of the government, or whether the various parties in the DPRK and China used these sects to fight each other, it is difficult to say clearly.

In order to gather Liliang and confront the "Rich Alliance", the "Luohan Gate" has been widely distributed in the past few months, inviting the various Baidao sects in the Yu realm to conclude an alliance, and the so-called heroes and heroes banquets have been held in various places as many as five or six, and even some sects in the nearby Hubei and Jin realms have also tried their best to pull over, and Qi Yuanhao went to send a letter to the Guan brothers of the "Phoenix Wing Gang" that day, that is, to discuss the alliance.

In the past, it was rare for a major sect like the "Luohan Sect" to form alliances with other factions, and even if they wanted to form an alliance, they would look for famous factions with similar reputation and strength, but now they are all accepted regardless of their size, strength or weakness, reputation or badness.

It's just because in the current situation of chaos in the world, if the "Luohan Sect" does not win over, these sects will be pulled over by the "Rich Alliance" sooner or later, and it is better to have one more ally than many enemies.

Listening to Chu Yiyi say this, Hua Bushi suddenly realized why Fang Changsheng agreed to his conditions so happily that day. In fact, the "Evil Dog Gate" wants to develop Shili in Yujing, and even if Hua Bushi doesn't say anything about the alliance, I'm afraid that Fang Changsheng will bring it up by himself.

At that moment, Hua Bushi told Chu Yiyi about Fang Changsheng coming to provoke and have a big battle in Biyun Waterfall, and later made a covenant and invited him to participate in the heroic banquet of Huaiqing City.

After hearing this, Chu Yiyi smiled and said, "In this way, Gongzi has really suffered a big loss, if the matter of the alliance is proposed by Fang Changsheng, even if Gongzi asks for more benefits, I am afraid that he will agree." ”

Hua Bushi smiled bitterly: "Who said it wasn't? If it hadn't been for Mrs. Yiyi's inform, I would have been kept in the dark by him until now!"

Chu Yiyi said: "But Yiyi thinks that it is not a bad thing to form an alliance with the 'Luohan Gate'. Now that there is such chaos in the Yu realm, it is safer for us to gain a foothold here and form an alliance with the 'Luohan Gate' than to take refuge in the 'Fugui Villa'. ”

Hua Bushi frowned, and said, "Madame also thinks that the two sides fighting in the Yu Realm now, the 'Luohan Gate' is stronger?"

Chu Yiyi said: "The concubine body really thinks so. At present, the two sides are not divided into two sides is only a temporary trend, "Luohan Gate" and "Shaolin faction" are one, whether it is the master of the door or the industry of the sect, it will greatly exceed the "Fugui Villa", as long as the two factions organize people to attack the door, even if Zuo Junhua has the support of the underworld, it must not be an opponent. ”

She paused for a moment, and then said: "As for the liliang of the official government, although it can be borrowed, but the masters of both sides are fighting hard, and the officers and soldiers may not be able to play much role, not to mention that the 'Shaolin faction' and the 'Luohan Gate' are not without support in the official government. ”

Hua Bushi nodded and said, "Madam is right, but this is what Hua Bushi is puzzled about. Even if the 'Fugui Alliance' is not the enemy of the two factions, and the strength and weakness of the two sides are so obvious, the underworld alliance is just a matter of it, why are there still so many Baidao sects defecting to the 'Nirvana League'? Moreover, even Zuo Junhua himself should be well aware of this section, so how can he have the courage to oppose the 'Luohan Gate' and the 'Shaolin faction' with great fanfare?"

Chu Yiyi was stunned when she heard this, and said, "When the son said this, the concubine also felt a little strange. It's a pity that Yiyi came back in a hurry this time, if it takes some more time and finds out more news, maybe you can solve Childe's questions. ”

Hua Bushi said: "Then there is Mrs. Lao, let the eyeliner of 'Qianhuafang' be explored more." However, now that he has agreed to form an alliance with Fang Changsheng, he has nothing to regret, and the current thing is to go to the heroic banquet in Huaiqing Mansion. I should have gone to this banquet in person, but because it was really difficult to walk because of this illness, I had to let Ximen Hitomi go there on my behalf. ”

He looked at Chu Yiyi and said, "But I don't know if Mrs. Yiyi can go with him?" After all, Ximen Tong is not very experienced in the rivers and lakes, if there is a lady to take care of me, I can also rest assured." ”

Chu Yiyi said: "If the prince must go as a concubine, he should obey his orders." However, in the past few days, the concubine wants to go to Wangwu Mountain again to find out some inside information about the 'Rich Alliance', which may be helpful to our development in Yujing. Huaiqing's heroic banquet, I have one person who can accompany Ximen Shaoxia, it must be very suitable. ”

Hua Bushi said: "Oh, I don't know who it is?"

Chu Yiyi smiled slightly and said, "It's Mo Yu, you've seen her before." ”

Hua Bushi frowned and said, "That little girl is not as old as Ximen Tong, is Mrs. Yiyi really sure that she can go?"

Chu Yiyi pursed her lips and said: "Hua Gongzi is not very old, how can he look down on young people so much?" Mo Yu is smart and clever, he is the most capable disciple of 'Thousand Flowers Fang', his experience in the rivers and lakes is not under Yiyi, and his martial arts are even better than mine, if she can't go, Yiyi will be even more incompetent!"
