After Ou Shi came out of the back garden, he didn't stop in Ding's mansion, took a few blacksmith disciples, and rode back to Wuyang City directly.

He came thousands of miles from Hunan Realm, just to take a look at the owner of the "Fire Pan Gun", and left after reading it, not only did he not stay to eat, but he didn't even drink a sip of tea. This Ou Shi's temper is strange and withdrawn, which can be regarded as rare in the world.

Early the next morning, Hua Bushi really prepared the medicine and gave it to Ximen Tong, and ordered the four disciples of the Perak Camp to take turns waiting in the courtyard where he was practicing, and to inform him immediately if there was an accident.

For the next few days, Hua Bushi stayed in Ding's mansion, and he was worried all day long, worried about Ximen Tong's situation.

All the quick cult martial arts in this world are all very dangerous to practice, even if the "bone shrinking skill" is an authentic Shaolin martial arts, but with such an unconventional, pulling out the seedlings to help the way to practice, the hidden dangers are only afraid of being worse than the evil sect**. Hua Bushi stayed in the mansion and didn't dare to go out, because he was afraid that Ximen Hitomi would go crazy again the day before yesterday, and if he was not in Zuo Jin, he would not be able to treat him in time, but he was afraid that his life would not be guaranteed.

Fortunately, three or four days have passed, and Ximen Hitomi has no more problems, and the eldest young master's tense mood is a little relaxed.

In the past few days, Li Zicheng took Li Guo from Huaiqing City to Ding Mansion, drank a meal with Hua Bushi, and talked for a while.

At the wine table, Li Zicheng told the eldest young master that Gao Yingxiang had a change of heart about the events of the day before yesterday, thinking that the incorporation of volunteers from all walks of life was indeed a good strategy to fight against the officers and soldiers, and he regretted that he had not made a decisive decision at the celebration banquet of the General Soldier's Mansion.

Hearing this, Hua Bushi could only smile bitterly.

On that day at the General Military Mansion, Hua Bushi set up a situation to trap the generals of the righteous army and force them to release their military power in the name of violating the commander's order, what a great opportunity, Gao Yingxiang temporarily changed his mind and forcibly missed it, what is the use of regretting it now? Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and others must have already become wary, and it is impossible to find that kind of opportunity again.

Li Zicheng persuaded Hua Bushi again whether he could consider accepting Gao Yingxiang's appointment order and serving as the general staff of the Righteous Army, but Hua Bushi waved his hand again and again. Gao Yingxiang's indecision and short-sightedness, Hua Bushi had already learned it once that day, and he was very disappointed in his heart, and he also knew very well that the tall handsome man did not really trust him.

Hanging a fictitious title of general staff in the righteous army is meaningless to Hua Bushi, but it will add trouble to the "evil dog gate", which can be said to be more than worth the loss, and he naturally refuses to agree no matter what.

Li Zicheng also expected Hua Bushi's refusal, and after persuading him for a while, he had no choice but to give up when he insisted on not allowing it.

Before leaving, Li Zicheng told Hua Bushi that tomorrow he would leave Huaiqing City with King Gao Chuang and leave for the area of Zhangde Mansion, two hundred miles away, to meet with the leaders of several local rebel teams.

Now it is too difficult for Zhang Xianzhong, Liu Guoneng and others to hand over the people, and the small group of rebels in Huaiqing City is very weak, even if they are absorbed, it is not very useful, so Gao Yingxiang thought of contacting other rebel teams in Yujing, just because he has money and food in his hands now, it is not impossible to incorporate those rebel teams to strengthen himself.

This time to Zhangde Mansion, at least three or four days before you can come back, now Zhang Zongheng and Hong Chengchou are hundreds of miles away from Huaiqing, Henan Governor Fan Jingwen has no signs of sending additional troops and horses to attack, Huaiqing City is safe for a while, but there is no need to worry.

The so-called not in his position does not seek his own politics, since Hua Bushi refused the appointment, he did not put forward any opinions on Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng's trip. Although his relationship with Li Zicheng has not changed, but after all kinds of things in these days, this eldest young master has an inexplicable estrangement from the righteous army in his heart, and he really doesn't want to participate in it anymore.

On Okura Island that day, Hua Bushi had wholeheartedly helped Wanjintang deal with the pirates of the Black Dragon Palace, and his feelings were completely different from this time when he helped the rebels attack Huaiqing City, perhaps because Sima Rulan was benevolent and benevolent by nature, and the ambition and greed of the leaders of the rebel army in front of him were completely different.

Thinking of Sima Rulan, Hua Bushi couldn't help but feel a little stunned.

In today's troubled times, ferocity and cunning have become the survival instinct of most people, far away in the South China Sea in Okura City, that bright as a white orchid-like girl, the innocence and kindness in her heart, how precious it is, how can it not be heart-pounding!

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Go and pick up the stick!" Hua Bushi ordered.

He was sitting on a stone bench in the back garden of Ding's Mansion with his feet crossed, and threw a short wooden stick about a foot long six or seven feet away.

A white shadow flew out and swooped straight into the lawn not far away, it was the princess. After a while, the big white dog ran back with a stick in his mouth, and a pair of big round eyes looked at Hua Bushi, revealing a supplicating light.

Taking the stick into his hand, Hua Bushi took out a piece of meat and bone from the burlap pocket next to him, and the princess's eyes suddenly lit up, and her saliva was about to drip down. However, the fleshy bone only shook in front of its nose for a moment, and was immediately put into its pocket again.

"If you want to eat, you'll have to pick it up five more times. Hua Bushi said leisurely, and threw the short wooden stick out with another wave of his hand.

The big white dog who was being played with let out a low roar in his throat, his eyes showed a fierce light, and his front paws grabbed the ground, as if he was about to rush towards Hua Bushi, but when he saw the eyes of the big young master, he immediately became low-browed, and his roar turned into a wail, and he obediently ran to pick up the wooden stick.

Yang Jiangyi stood beside Hua Bushi and watched him train his dog silently.

This is the tenth time that Hua Bushi has thrown out the wooden stick, and the big white dog has also picked it up ten times, but the meat and bone still haven't eaten in his mouth.

"Does my sister want to try it too?" asked Hua Bushi after getting the wooden stick from the big white dog again.

Yang Jiangyi responded: "Okay!"

She took the wooden stick, but suddenly reached out and took out the meat and bones from the cloth bag beside Hua Bushi, and threw them out. The big white dog screamed in joy, jumped up three feet high, and before the meat and bones hit the ground, he took it in his mouth, and ran to the side to eat it.

Hua Bushi said: "Oh, I only prepared such a bone, and my sister fed it to eat, and it refused to check the wooden stick again!"

Yang Jiangyi said: "Do you think it's funny to bully the princess like this?"

Hua Bushi was stunned, and then said honestly: "It's not fun." ”

Teasing the big white dog in the garden is really something that is done because of boredom.

Hua Bushi came to Huaiqing on this trip, originally to help Li Zicheng attack the city, but now it has been ten days since the righteous army captured Huaiqing City, but he doesn't want to care about the righteous army anymore. And since receiving Fang Changsheng's last letter, there has been no news from the "Luohan Gate", and I don't know how to prepare for the crusade against the "Rich Alliance".

Hua Bushi instructed Chu Yiyi to send out the eyeliner of "Qianhuafang" to inquire more about the various news and the movements of the "Fugui Alliance" in Yujing, but he himself had nothing to do in the past few days, so he started to play "dog training" in the back garden.

Now the "Luohan Gate" and the "Fugui Alliance" are trying their best to win over the various Jianghu sects in the Yu Realm, and they are all gathering people to prepare for the war, the situation is turbulent, but these days have been very calm, even the news of the conflict and fighting of the small gangs in the alliance that often happened earlier, maybe this is the silence of Zuihou before the start of the war.

"Let's go back to Biluo Mountain!" Yang Jiangyi said suddenly.

Hua Bushi said: "Sister, do you miss Ning Ning?"

Yang Jiangyi said: "Yes, it's better for us to pick her up, and then go to Luoyang, Kaifeng or other big cities, anyway, you don't want to bother with the affairs of the righteous army, and it's useless to stay here." ”

In fact, not only Yang Jiangyi, Hua Bushi is also very concerned about Xiao Ningning, that cute little girl is a pistachio, if she is there, she will not be as boring as she is now.

He nodded immediately and said, "Okay, when Brother Li returns to the city, I will go to bid farewell to him, and then go to Biluo Mountain to pick up Ning Ning." We first went to Kaifeng City to purchase some industries, and took Uncle Huang's family of more than 100 people to live, and the 'Evil Dog Gate' wanted to open a rudder in Yujing, and Kaifeng Mansion was the first choice. ”

Hua Bushi had just finished speaking, but suddenly saw Chu Yiyi running over from outside the garden.

As the person in charge of "Thousand Flowers", Chu Yiyi always dresses up as a noble lady on weekdays, and her demeanor is also elegant and elegant, but at this moment, she is rushing in a scattered manner, and her jade face is full of anxious looks.

"Hua Gongzi, I just got the news that the emperor ordered the general soldier Zuo Liangyu to enter Yu to suppress the bandits, and now the army has crossed the Yellow River!" came to the front, Chu Yi didn't have time to greet him, so he said loudly.

Hua Bushi said: "Mrs. Yiyi, don't worry, and speak slowly." ”

Huaiqing City was captured by the rebels, the Ming Emperor must have panicked, and it was inevitable for the imperial court to send officials and troops to conquer it, even if Chu Yiyi got such news, he would not have made such a fuss. However, after hearing what she said, Hua Bushi and Yang Jiangyi's faces all changed, and they were even more anxious than Chu Yiyi.

This is because the target of Zuo Liangyu's attack is not Huaiqing City, but Biluo Mountain!

After the fall of Huaiqing, public opinion was in an uproar, especially after the righteous army entered the city, it looted, so that the rich merchants and squires all over Henan Province were panicked, and they jointly asked for help, and the military generals in the DPRK and China also asked for help in Henan, and the government and the opposition were extremely lively for a while, however, there are not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized in the imperial city of Beijing.

In fact, there are already two official armies, Hong Chengchou, the "trilateral governor" and Zhang Zongheng, the "governor of Ming Xuan", in the two realms of Henan and Jin, with a total of more than 100,000 people, and it should be more than enough to deal with 350,000 righteous troops, and there is no need to send another man.

But now that the matter is coming, it is impossible to say that if the Beijing division does not send troops at all. So Emperor Zhu Youzhen sent Zuo Liangyu, the chief soldier of Changping, to lead the 2,500 cavalry of his headquarters to rush to Yujing, and passed down the imperial decree, ordering Hong Chengchou, Zhang Zongheng, and Fan Jingwen, the governor of Henan, to join forces to suppress bandits and recapture Huaiqing City.
