Hearing Hua Bushi's words, Cao Duyun also frowned, was silent for a while, and said after a while: "Speaking of which, if we want to break the pirates of the 'Black Dragon Palace', we have to think about it in the long run."

Hua Bushi said: "That's right. ”

Cao Duyun said: "Brother Hua just said that the 'Five Dragons Array' that could break the pirates the day before yesterday was thanks to Peng San's boat, I had guessed earlier that he was the old general of the imperial court sailor battalion, but now it seems that this must not be the case, but it is not as good as Brother Hua to know the origin of this person?"

Hua Bushi said: "I am also very curious about the origin of this Peng Sanye, and I asked the head of the Chai family the day before yesterday, according to the head of the Chai family, this Peng Sannai was met in the inn of Nanao Town five years ago. At that time, Peng San was infected with a strange disease, his whole body was red, swollen and ulcerated, he was sick in the inn, and he had no money to meet the account, so he was forcibly driven out by the shopkeeper. As for the previous origin, Peng San told the head of the Chai family that he was from Liaodong, and he had learned some juggling skills since he was a child, and only because his hometown suffered a natural disaster and went out to perform to make a living, he was exiled to Guangdong. ”

Cao Duyun said: "Could it be that Brother Hua believes such nonsense?"

Hua Bushi said with a smile: "The little brother naturally doesn't believe it. It may be true that he contracted the disease in Nanao Town, and it does seem like a Liaodong accent when he speaks, but he has excellent martial arts and the ability to drive ships and naval battles is so skillful, which is definitely not something that a juggler can have. ”

Cao Duyun said: "If you want to break the pirates of the 'Black Dragon Palace', you must use this person's naval combat skills, but such an unknown origin is really not reassuring. Why don't we try to capture him so that we can find out where he is?"

Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "This move is inappropriate. Since he deliberately wants to conceal his origin, he will definitely not be forced to ask so easily, and this person is extremely scheming, and his martial arts are high, so it is unknown whether we can catch him, and it would not be beautiful if it was self-defeating to force him away. Anyway, there is no hurry to attack Black Dragon Island, in the opinion of the younger brother, it is better to find an opportunity to explore slowly in the future. ”

Cao Duyun thought for a moment before saying, "Okay, this matter is according to what Brother Hua said." ”

The two discussed for a while, and Hua Bushi promised Cao Duyun to lobby Sima Rulan and the people in the "Wanjintang" to facilitate the two sides to join forces and attack Black Dragon Island together.

Half an hour later, Hua Bushi got up to say goodbye, and Cao Duyun gave him away.

Coming out of the side courtyard, Hua Bushi walked quickly to the back garden, where Hua Tianxiong, the owner of the evil dog gate, now lives.

After the sea battle that day, Hua Bushi went to the ship of the "Evil Dog Gate" to visit his father, and Hua Tianxiong was furious when he saw his beloved son and reprimanded him severely. This trip to the "Wanyi Conference", Hua Bushi not only failed to achieve his goal, but also experienced danger and almost died, which made his father anxious and worried, the eldest young master was already ashamed, and he had to obediently listen to the training and admit his mistakes, and did not dare to do a little confrontation.

And then Hua Tianxiong took his disciples into Okura Castle and lived in the Bark Tower.

In the past, in Wuyang City, Hua Tianxiong spent most of his time in the backyard of the Hua family's mansion for retreat, ignoring sect affairs and rarely interacting with fellow Jianghu people, but after living in the Bark Tower, he went out to eat and drink every day for more than ten days, and the reason for this was that Chai Lin was too courteous and polite.

As soon as he heard that Hua Tianxiong had entered Okura Castle, the two elders of the "Wanjin Hall" came to visit him and sent a pile of gifts, and his words were extremely respectful. The next day, the two came to the door in person to invite Hua Tianxiong to the restaurant to have a drink, saying that they wanted to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the evil dog owner.

Hua Tianxiong, who has always disliked socializing, didn't want to go, but Chai Lin once helped the "Evil Dog Gate" find Hua Bushi's whereabouts that day, and later sent someone to deliver a letter, so that Hua Tianxiong could learn that his son was safe and sound, and he finally owed him a favor. Now that the head of the Chai family is courteously invited, Hua Tianxiong can't lose face, so he goes with them.

In the following days, Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao took turns to invite every day, the two of them were disciples of the Shaolin faction, and they were the elders of the "Wanjin Hall", and their status was not low, but they were very polite to Hua Tianxiong. And after Hua Tianxiong went to eat with them a few times, they became familiar with each other, so they no longer shirked when they came to invite, and went to the banquet every day.

Of course, Hua Bushi also knew about this matter, in the past, at noon in the past, Hua Tianxiong must have been in the restaurant with the two elders Chai Yao, but today his father didn't go to eat and drink for some reason, and he wanted to see him, which made Hua Bushi a little curious.

The back garden of the barking tower is not small, it has always been used for dog training, after the start of the "Zixiao Conference", most of the fighting dogs for training were sent back to their owners, and the garden was empty. Later, when the pirates besieged the city, Xin Lika brought the villagers of Moli Village to vote, and they happened to be placed in it.

After Hua Tianxiong entered the city, Hua Bushi spent money to rent a few nearby houses for the indigenous villagers of Moli Village to move into, and the back garden was cleaned up and left for his father and the disciples of the "Evil Dog Gate" to live in.

Outside the door of the house where Hua Tianxiong lived, Hua Bushi said hello, and heard his father's voice inside the door: "Come in!"

Entering the house, Hua Bushi saw that his father was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals drinking tea, and the second uncle Hua Dihu and the master Mo Wentian were also in the house.

The second uncle sat at the table with his feet crossed, while Mo Wentian stood aside, both with a smile on his face. In fact, not only the two of them, Hua Tianxiong also seemed to be in a good mood.

In the middle of the table of the Eight Immortals, there is a yellow and clear semicircular jade pendant, which is carved with dragon patterns, which is very exquisite, and it is the piece of Panlong Jue.

Panlong Jue was originally a relic of Sima Zhufeng, that day in Mingxiang Zhai, Lu Qiuhong accused Hua Bushi of plotting to kill the city lord, and wanted to search his body to find evidence, Hua Bushi took the initiative to take out Panlong Jue, and then Yu Jue was taken back by the "Wanjintang", which can be regarded as returning to the original owner.

How did this piece of jade come here again, but Hua Bushi was quite surprised.

Hua Bushi stepped forward to salute his father and second uncle, Hua Tianxiong waved his hand and said, "That's it! You didn't come back for the night yesterday, but you spent the night in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Hua Bushi said: "Yes." ”

Hua Tianxiong said: "I see that you are not in the Bark Sky Tower most of the time, but are you staying in the City Lord's Mansion?"

Hua Bushi said: "The besieging pirates have just retreated, and there are still many complicated affairs in the city, and the children are mostly in the city lord's mansion these days, just to help Miss Lan'er deal with things." However, now that the general trend has calmed down, as long as the child is busy for a few days, the child no longer needs to go to the city lord's mansion every day, and can stay in the Bark Sky Tower to wait for his father and second uncle. ”

Hua Tianxiong nodded and said, "Hmm." In fact, there is nothing wrong with going to the City Lord's Mansion more, and your second uncle and I are not old, weak, sick and disabled people, so why do you need to wait? ”

Hua Bushi was shocked: "Why did Daddy say that?"

Hua Tianxiong "haha" daxiao, said: "Daddy already knows about you and Sima Rulan's little girl! Your vision is not bad, that little girl has good martial arts and good looks, and she is still the eldest lady of 'Wanjintang', if you marry her in the future, this Okura City will be at your fingertips!"

Hua Bushi said: "Daddy is misunderstood, the rumors in the market about the child and Miss Lan'er are all rumors, Daddy must not believe it, I am just friends with her in Pingshui, and the child has never had the heart to plot this city." ”

Hua Tianxiong said: "Don't you like to take care of the sect, I think this 'Wanjintang' is not worse than the 'Evil Dog Gate', the industrial assets in the door are even richer, there are dozens of ocean-going ships, you marry Sima Rulan into the door, not only the beauty is hugging, but you can also get so many assets shili, what's wrong?"

Hua Bushi said: "The child is now married, where can I marry Miss Lan'er again?"

Hua Tianxiong waved his hand and said: "It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, you and Hai Hongzhu are married, and it is not too much to marry another Sima Rulan! ”

Before Hua Bushi could answer, Mo Wentian on the side said: "The eldest young master doesn't have to worry about the marriage at all, yesterday we had a drink with the two elders of the 'Wanjintang' at RT-Mart, and it was Chai Dashan who took the initiative to mention this family matter to the master, and also said that Sima City Lord had already said that this 'Panlong Jue' is a token of his choice of son-in-law, and it will be passed on to his future son-in-law." He smiled slightly, and said: "When the city lord Sima passed this Jue to the eldest young master, he had the intention of marrying his daughter to the eldest young master. The so-called 'parents' orders, matchmakers', even if Miss Sima is unwilling, she will not dare to disobey her father's orders, not to mention that from the perspective of the old slave, she still has a lot of affection for the young master, and she will definitely not object. ”

At this time, Hua Bushi finally understood that this piece of Panlong Jue Weishenme would go and return, and returned to the Bark Sky Tower, which turned out to be a token that Chai Lin handed over to Hua Tianxiong. It's a pity that this eldest young master can't agree to this matter no matter what.

If Yujian hadn't lived Yang Jiangyi, and hadn't experienced that night on the banks of the Jinxi River in Wuyang City, Hua Bushi might have accepted this family business. As his father Hua Tianxiong said, Sima Rulan's martial arts appearance and character are all the best choices, Hua Bushi also has a good impression of her, and as long as she marries Sima Rulan, she can get Okura City, and the Wanguan assets of "Wanjintang" can also be shaken in his hands, which is of great help to realize his dream.

It's just that there are no ifs in everything.

Before going through this, Hua Bushi had never fallen in love with any woman, he didn't even believe that there was a so-called aiqing in this world, and in his eyes, marriage was just a means that could be used to achieve great things. This is also the reason why Hua Bushi forced Hai Hongzhu to marry him in order to get the right to be the head of the sect.

However, after going through many things, Hua Bushi already understood that he had found the person he loved most in his life, and was determined that if he wanted to live and die with her, it would be impossible for him to marry any other woman, even Sima Rulan.
