The distance of fifty or sixty zhang is not very far, and if Chu Changting can be ruthless enough to order a large-scale attack, he may not be able to rush through the wall of fire. However, if this is the case, at least half of his warship will be burned, and this chief scoop in the underworld must still be a little reluctant to suffer such losses.

As a result, the stalemate and confrontation on the river lasted for three days, and the fleet of the White Road was encamped and entrenched, firing fire canisters from time to time to block the enemy, while the underworld warships could cruise and harass fifty or sixty feet away, not daring to get too close, but they could not help the other party.

For this kind of situation, Hua Bushi had already expected it, and sat on the boat every day to drink tea and enjoy the scenery. The heroes of the various Baidao sects were not in a hurry, in fact, they all wanted to delay it like this, until the war against the "Rich Alliance" was over, and everyone could return home unscathed.

The only person in the fleet who was in a hurry to catch fire was probably the elder of the "Luohan Gate", Liu Yuanhe.

Liu Yuanhe's temperament was like fire, and he came to the painting boat five or six times in three days to find Hua Bushi, all in order to urge him to fight with the underworld fleet, so as not to delay the trip to Mengjin. Hua Bushi ignored this, and teased from time to time, making Liu Yuanhe so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him every time.

In the Yu realm, Liu Yuanhe can also be regarded as a famous martial arts master, and he has some prestige, but now there is no sect on his side in the fleet, and everyone supports Hua Bushi's strategy of sticking to and avoiding war, Liu Yuanhe has become a lonely person, and there is no way to take this eldest young master.

However, Fang Changsheng's second disciple Yuan Xi didn't seem to be in a hurry, and he had been trying his best to comfort his uncle for a few days, if it weren't for him, Liu Yuanhe was afraid that he would have turned his face against Hua Bushi a long time ago.

In the blink of an eye, it was dusk on the third day.

The sky was gray, the wind above the river had stopped, but the rolling rush was as always.

Liu Yuanhe came out of the cabin of the painting boat, his face full of anger.

Today, he had come to this ship to look for Hua Bushi three times, and the results were all the same, and the "evil dog boy" refused to listen to his opinion at all, and it seemed that he had made up his mind to shrink back. You must know that today is the tenth day of the first month, if you can't pass the Taohuayu River section tomorrow, you will definitely not be able to rush to Mengjin before the fifteenth.

The difference in Hua Bushi's reputation in the rivers and lakes is difficult to match, not only greedy for money and lustful, but also greedy for life and afraid of death, and he can't do martial arts at all, Liu Yuanhe really can't figure it out, how could the senior brother in charge of the family hand over the right to lead this road to such a person? I think it is mostly because of the instigation of the Yuantong monk, Yuantong met this evil dog young master at the "Wanyi Conference" a few years ago, and the two must have had a friendship at that time, so they would say good things for him.

Thinking that in Kaifeng City that day, half of the territory was taken away by the "Evil Dog Gate" in vain, and now this evil dog young master is so afraid of death and sluggishness, Liu Yuanhe hates it so much, not only hates Hua Bushi, but also hates Senior Brother Fang Changsheng's ears are too soft!

Thinking of the indignation, he swung out his palm and slammed it on the wooden fence on the side of the boat, breaking it into five or six pieces and falling into the river.

At this time, he suddenly heard someone say: "Elder Liu's 'Shaolin Falling Tablet Palm' is really worthy of its name, Hu Mou can see it today, which can be regarded as an eye-opener!"

Liu Yuanhe followed the sound and looked around, but saw a thin and short old man walking over from the deck, it was Hu Qingfeng, the head of the "Brown Clothes Gate".

Liu Yuanhe said with a calm face: "What is the Lord of the Hu Sect doing here?"

Hu Qingfeng walked closer and said, "Hu is here, he is here to ask Young Master Hua for his life." ”

"You want to ask for your life?" Liu Yuanhe was surprised.

Hu Qingfeng said: "That's right! I can't shrink back in the past few days, I have really lost the face of the forty-three sects of our Yujing White Dao, Hu Mou thought about it, and always felt that it was not a way to go down like this, so he wanted to talk to Young Master Hua, and he was willing to lead the disciples of the 'Brown Cloth Gate' to take the lead and fight the underworld thieves in Chu Changting early tomorrow morning!"

"Brown Clothes Gate" is located in Juzhou, eastern Henan, and its reputation and strength can only be regarded as ordinary, Liu Yuanhe has never looked down on such small gangs and factions, but at this time, listening to what this Hu boss said, it made him happy in his heart, and he was quite impressed.

After all, most of the forty-three sects in the current fleet are unwilling to contribute to meet the enemy, and it is really rare to have such a family willing to ask for their lives to fight!

Liu Yuanhe said at the moment: "Okay! Master Hu is really brave and admirable, not comparable to those who are timid and afraid of war. Elder Ben accompanied you to see Young Master Hua, and with the 'Brown Cloth Gate' taking the initiative to ask for help, he would have no excuse for not being able to shrink out!"

Hu Qingfeng said: "With Elder Liu going with him, Hu can't ask for it." ”

Liu Yuanhe grabbed him and said, "Master Hu is not polite, let's go quickly!"

The two of them arrived at the door of the painting boat, but were stopped by the disciples of the Perak Camp who were guarding the door.

"The young master has ordered, it's getting late today, and there will be no more guests, Elder Liu, please go back!" the disciple said.

Liu Yuanhe's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Why don't you see a guest every night! The master of the Hu Sect has come to ask for his order to fight, this is an urgent matter, we must see him, you hurry up and go in and report!"

The disciple hesitated for a moment before he said, "But the young master went to dinner, and now he is not in the cabin." ”

Liu Yuanhe said: "Nonsense! There are no restaurants and hotels on this big river, even if he eats here, where else can he go?"

The disciple said, "The young master really went out, as if he was talking about going to dinner on the boat of the 'Water Moon Castle'. ”

"The ship of 'Water Moon Castle'?" Liu Yuanhe understood what was going on as soon as his mind turned, and he suddenly became angry.

The evil dog young master went to the ship of the "Water Moon Castle", and he definitely didn't go to find the young castle lord Yuan Bang, but definitely went to find the little girl Yuan Qian. Now that the enemy is present, Chu Changting's underworld people are blocking the river, Liu Yuanhe is anxious all day long, thinking about how to rush to kill the past, but Hua Bushi, who is the main person, is not planning to break the enemy, and he is still in the mood to find a woman to have fun, which is really unreasonable!

Liu Yuanhe stomped his foot heavily, turned around and left, and said, "Okay! I'll go to the boat of the 'Water Moon Castle' and arrest him back!"

Hu Qingfeng hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Elder Liu, don't be angry, since Young Master Hua is going to have dinner, he will definitely be back soon, let's wait here, don't be rude." ”

Liu Yuanhe snorted angrily and said, "To that young master Huahua, how can you talk about any etiquette? Elder Ben doesn't care so much, so I'll go find him!"

Hu Qingfeng pulled Liu Yuanhe to the side and said in a low voice: "Although Young Master Hua is unbearable, he is the person in charge designated by the Fang Fist King after all, so we can't offend him too much." Elder Liu is a generation of grandmasters, and there are a lot of adults, so why bother with people like him, anyway, the battle is tomorrow, let's wait for him for a while. ”

Liu Yuanhe exclaimed angrily: "With such a person in charge, how can we win this battle? Hmph, it's really hateful!"

Although he said so, Liu Yuanhe no longer insisted on arresting people. After all, what Hu Qingfeng said still has some truth, if he really turned his face with Hua Bushi, the evil young master insisted on refusing to fight, but Liu Yuanhe had no way to think about it, so at the moment, he still had to take into account the overall situation and be patient.

However, with his fiery personality, the taste of strong self-patience is really uncomfortable, especially after waiting for half an hour, the sky has been completely dark, and there is still no trace of Hua Bushi.

Liu Yuanhe paced dozens of laps on the deck, then stopped: "That young master Huahua went to the boat of the 'Water Moon Castle', most of them have already been stuck with the little girl of the Yuan family, and they may not be able to come back tonight! No, we still have to go to him!"

At this time, Hu Qingfeng was also quite helpless, and said: "It seems that this is the only way, let's go over there and take a small boat." ”

However, the two of them had just taken four or five steps when Hu Qingfeng suddenly tugged on Liu Yuanhe's sleeve and said, "Elder Liu, have you seen the dark shadow over there?"

Liu Yuanhe said: "What black shadow, where is it?"

Hu Qingfeng pointed to the other side of the deck and said, "It was over there just now, it seemed to be a man in black, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye, probably hiding behind the board over there!"

Liu Yuanhe's heart sank, and he said, "Isn't there a spy on the boat?"

The forty-three sects along this road are all newly allied with the "Luohan Gate", and many of them are unreliable, and among these nearly 1,000 people, there must be mixed with the "Rich Alliance". When he set off from Kaifeng City that day, Fang Changsheng told him and told him to be more careful.

Liu Yuanhe stared at it, but he couldn't see a shadow, and said, "Master Humen, let's go over!"

There was no one behind the plank that Hu Qingfeng was referring to, but there was a wooden step of Xiangxia.

Hua Bushi's ship was originally the flagship and the largest in the fleet, with a hull seven or eight zhang long and three cabins, and this wooden staircase down was obviously to the bottom bilge.

Liu Yuanhe glanced at the entrance of the wooden steps and asked, "Did you really see a dark shadow coming here?"

Hu Qingfeng said: "I can see it very clearly, it is a man in black with a masked face, his body is very fast, and his light skills are not weak." Elder Liu, I think we might as well go to Young Master Hua first, this is his ship, if there is something to be handled by him, it would be more appropriate. ”

Liu Yuanhe said: "No! If that person is a spy who sneaked in, if you don't catch him now, won't you let him escape, let's go down this wooden staircase and take a look!"

There are more than ten steps of this wooden step, and after going down is a wooden corridor, although there is a dead wind lamp hanging on the wooden wall, but the light is like a bean, and it is still quite dark in all directions. Liu Yuanhe and Hu Qingfeng went down to the wooden corridor, took a few steps and turned a corner, but only heard a "click", a musket was already aimed at the two of them, and a voice shouted: "zhanzhu, who is it!"
