Liu Yuanhe lost face tonight, Yuan Xi also felt that his face was dull, and both of them wanted to go back early, but when they heard Hua Bushi say this, it was inconvenient to insist on leaving.

Yuan Xi had no choice but to say: "Okay, let's ask Young Master Hua to preach important things first." ”

Seeing that Yuan Xi helped Liu Yuanhe back to the chair and sat down, Hua Bushi coughed lightly and said: "In the past few days, we have been holding on to the water village, the strategy is very successful, although there are many underworld warships, there is no way to take us." It's just that this plan can only be used until today, and it can't be kept tomorrow!"

None of the various factions in the fleet were willing to fight, and Hua Bushi's strategy of shrinking was deeply popular, but at this time, the eldest young master said that he could no longer defend the day, which surprised everyone.

Ji Xiong, the head of the "Barberry Sect", said: "Young Master Hua, let's use the stone machine to throw the fire pot is very powerful, and it seems that Ji Mou uses this method to defend the water village, why can't he defend it anymore, is the fire pot already used up?"

Hua Bushi said: "The fire pot is still sufficient, but Chu Changting has already figured out a way to deal with it, so it can't be used anymore." Yuan Xiaomei of 'Water Moon Castle' is good at driving boats, just now this young master rowed a boat with her to the river to spy on the enemy's situation, please tell Yuan Xiaomei about the specific situation!"

Yuan Qian smiled at the eldest young master, took two steps forward, and said crisply: "At dusk today, Xiaomei and Young Master Hua sailed close to the water village of the underworld, and saw those underworld strongmen cut down many logs and set up twenty or thirty rafts on the bank of the river, each of which was seven or eight feet wide and more than three zhang long. ”

Ji Xiong said: "What are they doing on rafts, is it because there are not enough boats?"

Most of the people in the Jianghu sect here have never experienced a water war, the "Barberry Sect" is located at the foot of Funiu Mountain, Ji Xiong is a landlubber, he can't even float in the water, and he doesn't know how to attack and defend the ship war.

Yuan Qian said: "We guard the water village, relying on fire oil, as soon as the enemy ship approaches, it will be burned by the thrown oil tanks, they prepare these many rafts, is to use them to attack, these rafts are lit, can be rushed into our ship formation along the current, let us burn ourselves." ”

This kind of forcible breakthrough of the fire array can actually be done with warships, but the more than 30 warships in the underworld are really a lot of money, and Chu Changting is of course reluctant to burn them all down after this battle, so he has not made a strong attack in the past few days. Although the raft is rudimentary, and the speed of rowing is far less than that of a warship, it can also be used for a strong attack by taking advantage of the current of water, and it is better than it is worth a few dollars, and it is not a pity to burn it, it is the most suitable tool for impacting the fire array.

After Yuan Qian's explanation, the talents in the hall finally understood what was going on.

Hua Bushi said: "At the moment, the underworld has built these many rafts, and it is obviously ready to attack, and it will attack our water village about tomorrow morning, I don't know if you have any ideas to meet the enemy?"

Although the number of these forty-three sects in the fleet is not less than that of the other party, firstly, none of them are good at water warfare, and secondly, each faction is unwilling to contribute with a heart of self-preservation, and it is really impossible to win a confrontation with Chu Changting's underworld navy.

After a while, Shan Encai, the head of the "Duck Xingmen", said: "Young Master Hua is clever, and he is the person in charge of this trip, or Young Master Hua thinks of a way, let's follow it." ”

Bai Dao Qunhao couldn't come up with any good ideas, Hua Bushi had already expected it, and asked with his eyebrows: "Are you really willing to follow my command?"

Shan En said: "If Young Master Hua can come up with a good way, everyone should obey." ”

The head of this "duck shop" said this very cunningly, Hua Bushi must come up with a "good way" for everyone to listen, as for what kind of method can be regarded as a "good way", but there is no conclusion.

Hua Bushi glanced at Shan En, and said with a slight smile: "Okay, I have thought of a way, you can see if it's okay." ”

He paused for a moment and said, "The other party is attacking on a large scale, and the disciples of our sect are not familiar with water warfare, and they will definitely suffer a loss if they fight hard." However, this young master has heard that Chu Changting, the chief scoop leader of the 'underworld alliance', is arrogant and very conceited, so he is ready to send a battle post to challenge him, asking him to fight alone to win the battle, thinking that Chu Changting will definitely not refuse. ”

Chu Changting's personality is proud to everyone, but his pride is not without reason. At the age of twenty-six, he led the underworld of a realm, ranked fifteenth on the "Black Wind Record", and became a rare young master in the "World Alliance".

In the face of a super strong man like Chu Changting, this Young Master Hua actually wanted to fight with him alone, unless he was impatient! For a while, everyone in the cabin looked at each other, but it was quiet, and no one made a sound.

I only heard Hua Bushi shouting: "Come on, bring paper and ink!"

A disciple on the side should claim to be so, and quickly brought up the ink table and put it on the table. But seeing that the eldest young master mentioned Dahao, he brushed a little bit, and wrote a war letter in a moment.

Because Hua Bushi's writing was very large, everyone around the table could see it clearly, but they saw that the paper read:

"Changting Xiaoer, I Zhier and other Taohuayu Kou Xiao gathered in the Yellow River, for the sake of evil, long ago the heart of eliminating harm, because there is no time to take care of the ear, today the forty-three sects of the alliance are going west to ask for thieves, the heavenly soldiers are coming, you don't know how to retreat and avoid rats, dare to go to the boat to block the road, I really don't know how to die!

This challenge letter seems to be white, but the tone is very great, and it is extremely polite, and he actually calls the other party "Xiaoer", Chu Changting saw it, but he was afraid that it would be difficult not to be angry.

After Hua Bushi finished writing, he picked up the paper and looked at it, his expression seemed to be very satisfied, and said: "Young Master Ben made an appointment with Chu Changting this time, if we win, we can break through the blockade of the underworld and rush to Mengjin in one go, if we are unfortunately defeated, then we can be regarded as doing our best, just because the martial arts are not as good as there is no way, so we have to retreat first, I don't know what everyone thinks?"

Everyone had been worried before, but when they heard this, they all immediately turned their worries into joy. With Chu Changting's martial arts, this battle is undoubtedly invincible, and as long as he is defeated, he can retreat, isn't it exactly what everyone wants?

In an instant, there was a lot of noise inside and outside the cabin, and people from various sects expressed their stance one after another, resolutely supporting Young Master Hua's idea.

When everyone's voices gradually subsided, Hua Bushi nodded, walked to the chair where Liu Yuanhe was sitting with the war letter, and said, "Elder Liu, please sign your name on this note!"

"What did you say?" Liu Yuanhe almost didn't believe his ears, "You want to challenge, what do you want me to sign for?"

A smile bloomed on Hua Bushi's face, and he said: "I just came up with the idea of challenging the next book, it seems that everyone is very supportive, as for the candidates to challenge, how can this young master beat Chu Changting if he doesn't know martial arts, of course, it depends on Elder Liu!"

This vicious dog young master actually came up with such a lack of moral idea, and he wanted to hand over the task of sending Chu Changting to death alone! Liu Yuanhe was shocked and angry, his mind was blank, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Yuan Xi said: "Young Master Hua, Uncle I was just poisoned tonight, how can I challenge a strong enemy tomorrow, aren't you kidding?"

Hua Bushi said: "Elder Liu's injury is only a small injury, Young Master Ben has already said before, as long as he takes the antidote for a few hours, he can recover, and it will definitely not affect the decisive battle tomorrow." ”

Yuan Xi said: "But...... Challenging Chu Changting is a big deal, how can Young Master Hua make the decision for Uncle Liu with just one sentence?"

Hua Bushi said: "Early tomorrow morning, the underworld water army will attack on a large scale, and if we can't resist it, we will definitely lose, only by giving Chu Changting a letter of war to the war party can delay for a while, can you still come up with other ways?"

He smiled slightly, and said: "Elder Liu is the senior brother of Shaolin, the identity of the great master of martial arts, and he is highly respected in the martial arts of the Yu Realm, and only he is qualified to challenge on behalf of the forty-three sects such as me, I think everyone will have no objections, right? ”

Mo said that there was indeed no one in these Baidao sects whose martial arts reputation could compare to Liu Yuanhe, even if there were really those who pretended to be not bad at martial arts, who would jump out at this time to find death? As soon as Hua Bushi said this, dozens of people in the cabin echoed one after another, and everyone said the same thing, all praising Elder Liu's martial arts as the highest, and he was the most suitable candidate to challenge Chu Changting.

Seeing this situation, Yuan Xi couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and said loudly: "Chu Changting is so powerful, you don't want to fight, but you want to push Uncle Shi out and send him to death, how can there be such a thing in the world!"

Hua Bushi's face sank, and he said: "Yuan Shaoxia's words are unreasonable! In the past three days, Elder Liu has approached Young Master Ben no less than seven or eight times, all urging me to fight, it can be seen that he is eager to kill thieves, and he is not afraid of people in the underworld, and now he wants to fight Chu Changting alone, it is when his old man shows his skills, how can you say that he is going to die?"

He turned his gaze to Liu Yuanhe and said: "Elder Liu is a martial arts senior, his martial arts are both high and his prestige is even greater, everyone in the rivers and lakes is respected, and Hua Bushi has always admired him very much, so he has something to rely on, I think Elder Liu will not be timid and afraid, and he will not dare to fight with Chu Changting, right?"

Yuan Xi was about to say more, but suddenly a hand grabbed him, but it was his Uncle Liu.

But when he heard this, Liu Yuanhe gritted his teeth and said, "That's it! Take that challenge book, and I'll sign it!"

Yuan Xi said: "Uncle Shi, this ...... How can this work......

Liu Yuanhe said: "Needless to say, Senior Nephew Yuan, no matter how strong Chu Changting is, he is just an underworld thief, where am I, Liu Yuanhe, afraid of him!"
