The people of the "Evil Dog Gate" have been eating dry food for three days on the "White Bird". Now that you can finally eat wine and rice, you have to have a great time, even if it is coarse tea and light rice, you can eat it with relish, not to mention that the wine and food of "Wanyi Manor" are quite good, and the taste is not below those restaurants and restaurants in the city.

Even Hai Hongzhu, who has always liked to pick on Mrs. Huada, can't find anything wrong with the wine and food sent by "Wanyi Manor".

After drinking and eating, Hua Bushi sat at the table in the room and drank tea, without planning to go out.

The main purpose of his trip was only to obtain an authentic Zen internal martial arts method, and the martial arts methods of the "Shaolin" and "Putuo" schools were the most suitable.

There are many things in this world that can be bought with money, even if it is a secret martial arts method, as long as you pay enough silver taels, I believe it is not without a chance to get your hands on it. Although Hua Bushi had such an idea, he did not intend to rashly go to the people of the "Shaolin" or "Putuo" factions, because without the introduction of Master Huang Lian, it was obviously not the best policy to rely on him, the "evil dog boy", to find a transaction with others.

Therefore, it is better to wait for the "Wanyi Conference" and then try to trade.

It's just that although Hua Bushi didn't want to go out, someone came to the door to see the "evil dog boy", and there were as many as five people who came. And among these five people, the leader is Nangong Qi, the third master of the Nangong family who met on the "White Bird".

The disciples guarding the gate of the courtyard came in to announce that a guest had visited, and Hua Bushi went out of the door, and when Nangong Qi saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "I took the liberty to come here to introduce a few good friends to Young Master Hua, can we go into the house to talk?"

Hua Bushi said: "Brother Nangong is too polite, please come into the house and sit." ”

Hua Bushi let everyone into the house, and Nangong Qi introduced them one by one, and the four people who came with him were all guests who came to participate in the "Wanyi Conference", and they were from four sects.

A man in his thirties surnamed Hong is the helmsman of the "Taihu Gang", another old man in Tsing Yi surnamed Huang is an elder of the "Yandang faction", and two scholars surnamed Gu are from the "Tibetan Sword Gate" in Qianjing, and the other is the deputy hall master of the "Thunderbolt Hall" in Fuzhou, named Lei Zhentian.

The Taihu Gang, the Yandang Sect, the Tibetan Sword Gate and the Thunderbolt Hall, although they are all considered to be the Jianghu sects of each party, but their reputation is not very good, far from being as famous and decent as the "Seven Great Sects of the Central Plains", even compared with the "Shangqing Gate" where the Zhengde Taoist is located, it is also quite inferior.

The sixty sects invited by the "Wanyi Conference" did not have weak gangs, and they were probably the few with the lowest prestige. Of course, Nangong Qi's "Nangong Family" has long been in decline, and Hua Bushi's "Evil Dog Gate" has recently risen, and its reputation is not necessarily much stronger.

Everyone sat down in the room and was polite again, and Hua Bushi asked, "I don't know what happened when Brother Nangong and your friends came?"

Nangong Qi didn't answer, but asked rhetorically, "Does Young Master Hua have any thoughts about this 'Wanyi Conference'?"

Hua Bushi said: "The junior brother just hopes to trade to get some resources needed by the sect at this conference, but other than that, he has no other ideas." ”

Nangong Qi said: "This is nature, and we are here for such a purpose." But I don't know what Young Master Hua thinks of the sixty sects participating in the conference?"

Such a question was very abrupt, Hua Bushi was puzzled in his heart, he didn't know what Nangong Qi wanted to say, he frowned and said: "The dozens of sects invited by the 'Wanyi Sect' are all famous sects in the Central Plains martial arts, and most of them are stronger than the younger brother's sects, what else can I think of them? ”

Talking likes to sell Guanzi, probably the third master of the Nangong family, at this time, he saw that Guanzi was almost sold, so he smiled slightly and said, "I don't dare to see it." What Young Master Hua said is true, there are many famous factions in various realms who came to the conference this time, and when I talked with a few friends, I felt that the strength of our gangs was relatively weak, and if we wanted to gain something in the 'Wanyi Conference', only if we joined forces, it would be more beneficial. ”

Hearing this, Hua Bushi knew the intention of Nangong Qi and his group of five, and it turned out that they were here to form an alliance.

Hua Bushi asked, "But I don't know what Brother Nangong said about the union, how to do it?"

Nangong Qi said: "The alliance mentioned below is based on the conditions of mutual benefit for everyone. Whether the 'Wanyi Conference' will use the same transaction method as the previous one, it is not yet known, we can only adapt to the situation, exchange information from time to time, and wait until the transaction bidding time can join forces and unanimously external, I believe that there will be a lot of benefits for everyone to reach a deal. ”

After a pause, he added, "Of course, in terms of security, we also have to take care of each other in order to protect ourselves. ”

Many things in this world have to be spoken by strength, on the battlefield and in the shopping mall. On the battlefield, force is strength, and in the mall, money and silver are strength.

And in addition to strength, strategy is also important. If the "Wanyi Conference" is still the same as last time, and the "Wanyi Gate" acts as a middleman to organize bidding transactions from the sects, then it is undoubtedly very advantageous for several sects to unite as Nangong Qi said.

First of all, if these sects have the resources they need from each other, they can directly reach a deal, without having to let the "Wanyi Gate" earn benefits from it, and even if they want to trade with other sects, after several sects unite, they have a greater chance of having what each other wants to exchange, and it will be very advantageous when bidding.

Nangong Qi said that the security issue, of course, is also worth considering, although the "Wanyi Conference" is called the trading conference, but in the rivers and lakes of the jungle, anything can happen, gathering the strength of several families to form an alliance to advance and retreat together, even if it is only temporary, it is also very beneficial.

It's just that Hua Bushi's inner strength and mental method of Zen Sect that he wanted to get on this trip would not be available in these sects, which made the eldest young master hesitate a little in his heart.

Seeing that Hua Bushi was indecisive and didn't answer for a while, the helmsman surnamed Hong of the "Taihu Gang" said: "In the current situation, many of the sixty sects that have come to this island have already formed gangs, if we don't unite, sooner or later we will suffer, what else can Young Master Hua hesitate about?"

Hua Bushi's expression moved, and he asked, "What do you say about Lord Hongruo?"

Nangong Qi said: "Young Master Hua doesn't know, the 'White Bird' we took and the ship that arrived on this island at the latest, most of the other sects arrived yesterday, and it is said that most of them have already made an agreement with each other and joined forces to form a party. ”

Hearing Nangong Qi's words, Hua Bushi was quick-witted, and immediately guessed the inside story.

The alliance is very beneficial, not only Nangong Qi and others can think of it, all the sects that came to participate in the "Wanyi Conference" all understood this matter, and after arriving at this manor, they must have already made some moves early in the morning. The "Taihu Gang", "Yandang Faction" and "Perak Hall" and other sects thought that they came because the sect was too small and not strong to enter the eyes of those famous sects, so no one invited them to form an alliance, and they were not willing to rashly form an alliance with those major sects.

After all, if you want to reach an equal alliance agreement, only shili with similar strength is more suitable.

Therefore, these small sects simply formed an alliance with each other and formed a gang of their own, and this third master Nangong Qi has a wide range of friends, although the strength of the Nangong family is not strong, but the reputation of the four major families is outside, and he can get the trust of everyone, so he has become the person of the matchmaking organization of this "weak alliance".

Hua Bushi and his entourage came by boat with Nangong Qi, and the "Evil Dog Sect" is not a big sect, it is the ideal object to form an alliance with them, and the purpose of the principals of these sects is to bring Hua Bushi in.

Hua Bushi pondered for a moment and asked, "I don't know if Brother Nangong has mentioned this matter with Gongzi Cao and Daoist Zhengde, they came to this island with me, and it shouldn't be time to form an alliance with other sects." ”

Nangong Qi showed a wry smile on his face, and said: "Cao Gongzi is a person in the imperial court, if he wants to form an alliance, he will also join the 'Wudang' and 'Kongtong'**, how can he look down on me and other small sects? ”

The "Wudang faction" is the emperor's "first sect in the world", which has been vigorously supported by the Ming court, and its strength is one of the best among the "seven major sects". And the elder of the "Shangqing Sect", Zhengde Lao Dao, has a high eye above the top, and it is normal to look down on these second-rate sects.

Nangong Qi said: "Although the few sects I am waiting for are not big, but the cooperation can take care of them after all, it is better than a single sect, I don't know what Young Master Hua thinks?"

Hua Bushi thought for a while and said, "Brother Nangong is reasonable, so the junior brother will consider agreeing to join forces with you." But I don't know if there are other sects in our alliance besides a few of you here, and what are the conditions of the agreement to join forces?"

Nangong Qi's face was overjoyed, and he said: "It's really good that Young Master Hua is willing to join! At present, there are only five factions in our alliance, such as the 'Taihu Gang', the 'Hidden Sword Gate', the 'Yandang Sect', the 'Thunderbolt Hall' and my Nangong family, plus Young Master Hua's 'Evil Dog Sect', there are six sects." As for the terms of the agreement, which is very simple, only to cooperate with each other in the bidding of the conference, and to join forces against the enemy in case of danger, can Young Master Hua agree?"

Hua Bushi nodded and said, "Okay, then it's a word!"

Everyone in the room was overjoyed when they heard this, and at that moment, everyone stretched out their palms and struck each other with the eldest young master, which was regarded as a confirmed oath.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Nangong Qi and the others lingered in the room for a while, talking a few words about what they had seen and heard about coming to "Wanyi Island" and speculation about tomorrow's trading conference, before they got up and left.
