Chapter 44: To each his own plan
Hua Tianxiong wanted to take the opportunity to attack. Since he knew that Zhu Zhenyan was going to "Huixian Building" on February 14, he could set up an ambush around the restaurant. At that time, the three major leaders will shoot together, plus the siege and killing of the masters in the three factions, even if Zhu Zhenyan is lucky not to die, at least he can give him a dismount and a bad breath of the previous attack on the main altar of the "Evil Dog Gate".
Of course, Zhu Zhenyan will set up this banquet, and there will definitely be some arrangements, and the masters of the three major gangs may not be able to take advantage of each other's hard fighting. Therefore, Hua Tianxiong put forward another proposition, that is, to use the liliang of the government. The current various rivers and lakes around Wuyang City are not worth mentioning except for the "three evils", and the only thing that can help this battle and play a certain role is the government.
The Ming Dynasty commanded three battalions of soldiers in the Yamen, the general army of Wuyang City, with a total of more than 1,500 people, and it was a powerful force. Moreover, the government and the underworld have always been incompatible, and Zhu Zhenyan is a key criminal in the imperial court, and it is not impossible to use officers and soldiers to deal with him.
So, whether Zhu Zhenyan's banquet will go or not, whether to fight or not, has become an endless battle of words in this "Cold Moon Pavilion". Among the three leaders, if two of them agree, then the third person has to obey even if he is reluctant. However, now the three parties have different opinions, and none of them can convince the other two, so it has evolved into the current situation.
Iron Kendo man Ram Tai's ability to nourish qi is profound, and he is sitting at the table at the moment, but he is not in a hurry, and he is calm. Hua Tianxiong's face was already flushed, his hair stood on end, and he was obviously angry in his heart.
The ancestor of the Shen family also looked like water with a sinking face and a very bad mood.
As for Qu Huze, Shen Ying'er and Mo Wentian, they all stood quietly at the table without saying a word. The heads of the three factions are all there, and they naturally don't have much room to speak.
"Regarding the use of the official mansion, Brother Hua will never mention it again. It was the ancestor of the Shen family who spoke, "We are all Jianghu sects, if we borrow the official army to kill our colleagues, even if we win this battle, we will bear the notoriety of 'colluding with the government and being willing to be an eagle dog', and we will become the enemies of all the underworld shili in the future. ”
Although Zhu Zhenyan is one of the thirteen chief deacons of the "Tianxia Alliance", he is only one shili in the alliance, if the entire "Tianxia Alliance" has to deal with the "three evils", then the three sects in Wuyang City have no possibility of resisting at all.
Hua Tianxiong snorted angrily and said: "That Zhu Zhenyan is the idea of fighting this Wuyang City, and he has already had murderous intentions against us, do you really think there is anything to talk about! If you don't seize the opportunity to attack at this time, the day of the destruction of the three major gangs is just around the corner, and you and I will die without a place to be buried, so where do you have to care about what to do in the future? As long as you destroy that Zhu Zhenyan, if the 'Tianxia Alliance' wants to deal with us and others in the future, we will talk about it then!"
For the "Evil Dog Gate", of course, there is only one battle. In the battle on the 10th day of February, there were many masters killed and wounded on both sides, and a deep hatred that was difficult to resolve had already been formed. Even if the "Evil Dog Gate" is willing to negotiate peacefully, how can the "Three Murderers of Yimeng", the boss of the Chi family, and the remaining seven people of the "Jingzhou Thirteen Taibao" be willing to give up?
The "Monkey Gang" is different. The Shen family has lived in the local area for generations and is the oldest martial arts family in Wuyang City. A hundred years ago, in this small city, only the "Divine Monkey Shen Family" was dominant, and then the "Iron Sword Sect", "Heavenly Eagle Society", "Evil Dog Gate" and other foreign shili came to this city one after another to grab territory and establish a sect, and the Shen family implemented a policy of appeasement. Although the Shen family's "Great Sage Jue" martial arts inheritance is fierce and domineering, it is not a real peerless martial arts, and the masters in the door are not very strong.
In fact, the three major sects such as the "Iron Sword Sect" have successively fallen into the sect in Wuyang City, and the alliance with the Shen family has become the powerful "Four Evils of Xiangxi", which also makes many shili in Hunan dare not fight the idea of Wuyang City again, and the interests of the "Divine Monkey Shen Family" have naturally been preserved.
Shen Aojun has been in charge of the "Monkey Gang" for many years, and he has his own set of how to deal with the powerful Shili from outside. Zhu Zhenyan is menacing, and he is just here to obtain benefits. Now that the "Heavenly Eagle Society" has been extinguished, and the "Evil Dog Gate" has been crippled again, a large area of territory has been vacated in Wuyang City, and these territories, as well as part of the mineral veins in the west of the city, have been given to Zhu Zhenyan in exchange for a powerful alliance, which the ancestor of the Shen family thinks is acceptable.
And since Zhu Zhenyan sent an invitation to invite them to talk, he thought it would mean the same.
Of course, he wouldn't say these words here and now. If the ancestor of the Shen family dared to propose an alliance with the enemy at this time, the evil dog Hua Tianxiong would have to turn his face and do it on the spot.
"The two brothers must not be angry, this matter can still be discussed in the long run. It was Ram Tai who spoke, and he was still unfazed and calm.
The Ram Daoist paused for a moment, and then said: "In the opinion of the poor Dao, Zhu Zhenyan is a despicable villain who does this conspiracy and sneak attack, and it is insincere to invite us to wait for peace talks. It's just that it is too dangerous to attack rashly at this time, so it is better to stick to this 'Cold Moon Pavilion' for the time being. ”
"What Brother Hua said with the help of the government, Poor Dao also thinks it is feasible. It only takes a few days, as soon as the reinforcements of the 'Wudang faction' arrive, they will unite with the masters of the three factions such as us, and then gather the power of the government, and they will definitely be able to wipe out the people and horses of Zhu Zhenyan, and avenge the attack on the sect the night before for Brother Hua. ”
There is one of the seven major sects in the Central Plains, the "Wudang faction" as the backstage, and the ram people are not very afraid of Zhu Zhenyan's underworld shili. Of course, he didn't want to give Zhu Zhenyan benefits and form an alliance with him. On the contrary, Ram Tai believes that this underworld attack is an opportunity for the "Iron Sword Sect" to expand its territory.
The "Heavenly Eagle Society" has been destroyed, as long as Zhu Zhenyan's people are defeated, the territory previously occupied by the "Heavenly Eagle Society" and the share of refined iron ore veins can be taken out and divided by the "Three Evils". And the "Iron Sword Sect" led the reinforcements of the "Wudang faction" to defeat the strong enemy, and naturally the interests should be shared, and even most of the territory and ore veins of the original "Heavenly Eagle Society" could be occupied, wouldn't it be a good thing to be a blessing in disguise?
Of course, the premise for this good thing to be realized is that this battle must not be lost. If the "Three Great Evils" were completely defeated in the past few days and swallowed by Zhu Zhenyan, it would be useless for reinforcements to come. If you want to defend the "Cold Moon Pavilion", of course, you can't rely on the "Iron Sword Sect" alone, you must have the help of the other two factions.
Therefore, Ram Tai must stabilize Hua Tianxiong and the ancestor of the Shen family, and neither let them coax them, nor let them take risks.
Regarding the matter of using the government, the "Wudang faction" as the "first sect of the world" of the emperor's entitlement, and the Ming court has an inextricable connection, the ram Tai was born in Wudang, and the "Iron Sword Sect" is a side branch of the "Wudang faction", of course, it will not exclude joining forces with the government. Because of this, he was guilty of the underworld Shili, and Ram Tai didn't take it to heart. Black and white are enemies, and even if there is no such thing, they are enemies.
As long as Zhu Zhenyan is defeated, no matter who wants to invade Wuyang City again, he has to weigh one or two. Everything in the world is for profit, and if it is unprofitable, or the price to be paid is too great, and the gains and losses cannot be balanced, no one will use the sword because of such inexplicable hatred.
Hua Tianxiong didn't think much of Ram Tai's words, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to avenge the day before yesterday, it will be an opportunity to be on the 'Huixian Tower' in two days! If you are lucky enough to be able to slaughter that Zhu Zhenyan, why wait for the reinforcements to arrive, it will be wasted!"
The ancestor of the Shen family, who was sitting on the side, did not speak, but he shook again and again, obviously disapproving of the ideas of Ram Tai and Hua Tianxiong.
The three leaders have their own ideas, and of course they can't reach an agreement.
This war of words lasted from noon to dusk, during which Hua Tianxiong was angry and smashed the table with one palm, but Zuihou did not come to any result, and everyone had to disperse temporarily, agreeing to discuss it again tomorrow morning.
It was getting dark.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the small courtyard after the "Cold Moon Pavilion", Hua Bushi was lying on the bed in the room.
The green smoke curls in front of the sandalwood burner in the house, and the light silk brocade quilt on the wide mahogany bed is warm and soft, which makes Hua Bushi feel very comfortable. The only thing that was a little uncomfortable was the dozens of collapsed bands wrapped around the wound on his chest, which not only made his breathing not smooth, but also greatly restricted his movements, making him unable to move for several days, and he had to lie in bed all day.
A few days ago, Hua Tianxiong returned from chasing Yan Chifa, only to learn that his beloved son was seriously injured, and even if he jumped like thunder, he almost rushed out to find Na Zhu Zhenyan desperately. Probably because of this, Hua Tianxiong is so irritable at the "Three Elders' Association" today, and he has to take revenge immediately.
moved into the "Cold Moon Pavilion", Hua Tianxiong gave Hua Bushi a death order, and he was not allowed to step out of this courtyard until the sword wound healed.
Bai Yiling was standing in front of the bed at the moment, holding a blue and white porcelain bowl containing half a bowl of white porridge and a spoon on the side of the bowl. Hua Bushi's diet and daily life in the past few days have been taken care of by Bai Yiling, who is inseparable from her, and has followed Hua Bushi for several years, but she has never been so "close" to this "Gongzi Master".
But at this moment, I suddenly heard the guard outside the courtyard gate shouting: "Who is it!" but then said: "It turned out to be the young grandmother." There was no voice.
The courtyard door was pushed open, and a slender figure walked in, but it was Hai Hongzhu. Everyone in Washington knew that this Hai girl was engaged to the eldest young master, and she would naturally not stop her when she came to visit Hua Bushi.
Hai Hongzhu walked into the room and sat down on a sandalwood chair in front of Hua Bushi's bed. She was wearing a moon-white dress, with a little powder on her cheeks, but she couldn't hide the tears in the corners of her eyes, looking pitiful.
