Could it be that because he had just drunk a few jars of wine, this gang leader was already drunk, so he was talking nonsense?

But looking at Ma Wuhua's expression and tone, it didn't seem like she was talking drunk.

I saw Ma Wuhua and said: "Fifth brother, I know that Brother Hua already has a 'Vicious Dog Gate' in his hands, but your 'Evil Dog Gate' Shili is too small, how can it be compared to my 'Dongting Gang'? The Evil Dog Gate will be merged into the 'Dongting Gang'!"

"If the elder brother is worried that the members of the 'Dongting Gang' will not be convinced, he will not worry. Fifth brother, I have some prestige in the gang, and I passed on the position of the gang leader to you, and no one dared to oppose it. Even if there are a few people who are not convinced, with the resourcefulness of the elder brother, plus the help of the elder brother, they will definitely be able to subdue them. ”

After hearing this, Hua Bushi believed that Ma Wuhua really wanted to pass on the position of the leader of the "Dongting Gang" to himself, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

With such a huge shili and many industries under the "Dongting Gang", Hua Bushi will certainly not be unmoved, if he can take charge of the "Dongting Gang", he will control half of Changsha City. And what Ma Wuhua just said is also very reasonable. As long as he becomes the leader of the Dongting Gang, these many resources will be at his fingertips immediately, and it will be a big step forward in realizing his dream, so why bother to care which sect is in charge?

Hua Bushi turned his face to look at Second Master Meng, but saw that he was also stunned, and Ma Wuhua's move was also unexpected by him.

Ma Wuhua smiled "hehe" and said to Hua Bushi: "You don't have to look at Second Brother Meng, I am a friend of life and death with him, my decision is his decision, and he will pass on the position of the gang leader to you, he will definitely not object, with his support, it is even easier for you to take charge of the gang." ”

"Lao Tzu is lazy by nature, and he really doesn't have much ability to run the sect, but there is only one thing that is very confident, that is, the vision of knowing people, even if the head of the seven major sects in the Central Plains wants to come, he is far inferior to me. If the 'Dongting Gang' is handed over to Brother Hua, it will definitely make a lot of achievements in the future, my move is not only for my own laziness, but also for the sake of the brothers in the gang, Second Brother Meng, do you believe the words of the fifth brother?"

Meng Qingshan pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Fifth Brother must not be wrong when he says this." ”

For Ma Wuhua's way of knowing and employing people, Hua Bushi also thinks deeply, and even feels a little ashamed.

The "Dongting Gang" continued to expand from the Dongting Lake area in northern Hunan to Changsha City, becoming the largest shili in the city, and it was also a matter of the past ten years. In the Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that there is no head of a sect who can be as lazy and leisurely as this Fifth Brother Ma, he rarely even shows up, but hands over all the affairs in the door to his subordinates, which makes the people in the rivers and lakes not clear about his appearance, and misrepresents him as a blonde, blue-eyed, tall Hu man.

He, the head of the shopkeeper, can still run the sect so impressively, if he does not have a superior vision and the courage to employ people, he will definitely not be able to do it.

However, although Ma Wuhua had the courage to pass on the position of the helper, Hua Bushi did not dare to accept it at this time. Hua Bushi is good at management, and knows that the handover of the head of a faction is not an idle matter, and it involves the vital interests of many people in the sect, especially if a pure outsider like him wants to be the leader of the gang, it will definitely cause great shock in the "Dongting Gang", and even cause chaos.

Changsha City is surging, the Demon Dao Shili is expanding vigorously, and there is an intention to annex this city, the "Dongting Gang" is the first major faction in the local area, and it is also the only sect in the city that can confront the Demon Dao, at this time, there must be no civil strife. If there is a problem in the sect and is taken advantage of by the Demon Dao, not only will the fate of the "Dongting Gang" be worrying, but even the "Evil Dog Gate" will be implicated.

Hua Bushi clasped his hands into fists, bowed, and said: "Thank you Fifth Brother Ma for your trust in the younger brother! It's just that the younger brother is only a shallow learner, and it is difficult to be qualified for the position of the head of your gang, and now is not a good time to discuss this matter, when the two of us join forces and drive the Demon Dao Shili out of Changsha City, and then come to discuss this matter, what does Fifth Brother Ma think?"

Ma Wuhua shook his head, he was extremely smart, and immediately understood Hua Bushi's intentions, and said: "Yes, what Brother Hua said is reasonable, as soon as Lao Tzu saw such talents as Brother Hua, he thought of passing on the throne, but he didn't think about it, so let's solve those demon cubs first!

Hua Bushi said: "The younger brother obeys the orders of the fifth brother. ”

Ma Wuhua hahadaxiao, picked up the wine glass and drank it dry, and suddenly asked, "Brother Hua, you just said that you came to Changsha City to sell weapons, but is there such a thing?"

Hua Bushi said: "That's right. ”

Ma Wuhua said: "What weapons do you have to sell, let's hear about it." ”

Hua Bushi said: "We have obtained a vein of refined iron in Wuyang City, and we have used the best fine iron mined to create some weapons such as knives, guns, swords and shields in the workshop, and there are a lot of them, so I want to open a business in Changsha City to sell." ”

Ma Wuhua pursed her mouth and said: "Ordinary weapons, where can they be sold at a good price, since there is high-quality fine iron, why not cast some steel cannons and giant crossbows, that is a rare thing, the price is much higher than your broken knives and guns." ”

Hua Bushi's heart moved, but his mouth said: "Although steel cannons and giant crossbows are rare, they are all large weapons used to attack cities and seize land, and ordinary Jianghu sects do not use them, even if they are such weapons of the government army, they are uniformly distributed by the court and will not be purchased outside." In addition, the structure of steel cannons and giant crossbows is very complex, and it is really difficult to cast them in the blacksmith workshop of the gate. ”

Ma Wuhua said: "In your workshop, there are powerful blacksmiths?"

Hua Bushi said: "The people used in this workshop are all experienced craftsmen, and the master headed by him can be called the master of casting weapons. ”

Ma Wuhua clapped his palms and said, "That's it! I happen to have a detailed drawing of the casting steel cannon in my hand, and my brother has a good blacksmith master in the sect, so he will definitely be able to cast it according to this drawing, and I will be able to get my hands on the pattern of making the giant crossbow in a few days." As for the sale, there is no need to worry, I will buy all the steel cannon crossbows made in your workshop, Fifth Brother, and the price will satisfy Brother Hua!"

Hua Bushi said: "That's very good, since the fifth brother wants to buy it, the younger brother will let the craftsmen in the workshop cast the steel cannon giant crossbow." ”

He said this, but in his heart he was very puzzled. With Ma Wuhua's martial arts and identity, there will naturally be some ways, and it is not surprising that he can get the detailed drawings of the production of the steel cannon and the giant crossbow, but what makes Hua Bushi puzzled is why Ma Wuhua wants to buy these weapons.

Although the steel cannon and the giant crossbow are powerful, they are very bulky and difficult to carry, and second, they are large and difficult to hide, and the firing speed is slow and the loading is troublesome. Hua Bushi really couldn't think of it, Ma Wuhua weishenme wanted to buy these things.

Ma Wuhua seemed to see Hua Bushi's doubts, and said, "Brother Hua thinks it's strange, what's the use of me buying these heavy weapons?"

Hua Bushi said: "The little brother is indeed a little puzzled. ”

Ma Wuhua said: "Of course I don't use these things myself, I bought them all for my brother." ”

Hua Bushi said suddenly: "I see, I can't imagine that the fifth brother still has a brother." ”

Ma Wuhua glared at her eyes and said, "Lao Tzu was also born to his parents, why can't he have brothers!"

Hua Bushi knew that he had lost his words, and hurriedly smiled: "The little brother lost his words, please forgive the fifth brother." The fifth brother's brother must also be a great hero, I don't know if I can introduce it to the younger brother. ”

Ma Wuhua said: "Speaking of my brother, he is indeed a hero in the world, he has great ambitions since he was a child, and I am a lazy person, but it is a pity that he is not in Changsha City now, otherwise he will be introduced to Brother Hua." ”

Hua Bushi said: "Such a hero, Hua Bushi has no chance to meet, it's a pity!"

Ma Wuhua said: "He is a few years younger than me, his surname is Li, and his name is Hongji." In fact, I was originally surnamed Li, and the name of this Ma Wuhua was given when I was wandering on the rivers and lakes. ”

Hua Bushi just heard Ma Wuhua say that his brother was a hero in the world, so he thought that this person must be a well-known hero in the world, but when he heard Li Hongji's name at this time, he had no impression.

Ma Wuhua said: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Ma Wuhua is a blonde and blue-eyed Hu man, which is a misinformation, but I am indeed not a Han, but a member of the Dangxiang clan, whose ancestral residence is in Mizhi County, Shaanxi, and Li Yuanhao, the king of Western Xia, is the ancestor of our Li family." My brother Li Hongji's name, Brother Hua, may not have heard of it, but if you want to say the name of 'Li Chuangjiang', you will definitely hear of it. ”

Hua Bushi's heart sank, and he said: "Fifth brother's brother, isn't it Li Zicheng, the 'general' who raised righteousness in Shaanxi?"

Ma Wuhua said: "Yes, it's him." ”

The government of the Ming Dynasty was mediocre, the taxes were extremely heavy, and the floods and droughts in various realms continued for many years, which can be said that the people were not able to make a living. Legend has it that there are as many as 18 righteous armies in various places, among which the stronger ones are Wang Daliang in Hannan, Zhang Xianzhong in Hunan and Hubei, and then there are the "King Chuang" soldiers and horses in Shaanxi.

They are all guilty of rebellion and are enemies of the government, but the rebels are different from the underworld shili on the rivers and lakes. The underworld shili under the "World Alliance" is doing murder and arson, robbing homes and houses, and robbing assets to accumulate wealth, and the ordinary people have long hated them, while the rebels are attacking cities and counties, occupying a territory, and wanting to overthrow the current imperial court, and the people do not have to pay food and taxes wherever they go, so they have been supported by many people.
