Chapter 507: Single-handedly Fighting the Whole City
Aiqing can indeed make people feel tired and feel extremely happy and satisfied sometimes, but for Hua Bushi, Aiqing is not the most important thing, and he can't always linger in the gentle township.
Early the next morning, Hua Bushi came to Zhu Hong's small courtyard where he practiced, awarded him the "Crane Xing Wheel Knife" knife book created by Hua Dihu, and instructed Zhu Hong to recruit 100 young people with acceptable martial arts qualifications in Okura City and let them practice this knife technique.
The pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace" are not only many masters, but also the number of their minions is as many as thousands.
There are a number of disciples of Xiong Bailing's "Great Rebellion Department" and "Wanjin Hall" in Okura City, both in strength and numbers, they are far inferior to the troops of the Dragon Palace, and although Cao Duyun can mobilize the brigade of the Guangdong Realm Naval Division to participate in the battle, the combat power of ordinary officers and soldiers is limited after all, and it is still difficult to fight against the fierce pirates.
Now the strongest war department in the "Evil Dog Gate" Qingyun Wei is far away in Changsha City, if it can train another elite with strength, it will be of great benefit to the current battle with the "Black Dragon Palace" and the development of the "Evil Dog Gate" in the future. And since he got the knife spectrum of the "Crane Wheel Knife", Hua Bushi has long been impatient, wanting to try how powerful this knife technique and formation created by the second uncle can be.
After Zhu Hong took the order and left, Hua Bushi wrote three more letters and sent them to the three commercial houses in the city, the purpose of these three letters was the same, it was to borrow dogs.
The decisive battle of the dog king of the "Zixiao Conference" was held just a month later, and in these thirty days, training the princess to be a fighting dog capable of defeating the civet dog seemed like an impossible task, but it was a goal that Hua Bushi had to achieve.
The training of the princess jihua, Hua Bushi has already been booked, in this jihua, there must be four fighting dogs that are not weak, and now there is only one Baoliang in the barking sky, and the other three, this eldest young master can only borrow. It is not easy for others to borrow fighting dogs, but it is not difficult for Hua Bushi to send people to borrow dogs, just because these three commercial houses are all old customers of Bark Tianlou.
It didn't take long for the three-headed fighting dogs to be transported to the barking tower in a big cart, which was the "easy to pass" tiger teeth, the fat of "Guangyuan Zhai" and the big fierce of "Feiya Boat Line". As soon as the three dogs arrived, they were immediately carried into the back garden, and the courtyard door was also closed with a "bang".
Hua Bushi had already come to the back garden of the Barking Sky Tower, and ordered someone to carry the big white dog princess out of the dog house. The princess in the wooden cage looked at Hua Bushi with a strange smile in front of her, and her big round eyes showed a frightened light.
During the period when the ships of the "Black Dragon Palace" surrounded the island, all the residents of Okura Castle were worried about the city being attacked by pirates, but the princess lived a good life comfortably for more than a month, eating and sleeping every day, and there was no need to train hard. But now, from Hua Bushi's ill-intentioned eyes, the big white dog had a premonition that such a good day had come to an end, and what was waiting for it was definitely more painful than before.
This time for dog training, Hua Bushi ordered that no outsiders were allowed to watch. The courtyard gate of the back garden of the barking heavenly tower is closed, and there are disciples of the "evil dog gate" guarding the door and outside the courtyard wall, except for Bai Yiling and Hai Hongzhu, who help train the dog, even the guys of the barking heavenly tower are not allowed to approach the courtyard gate, let alone enter the courtyard to investigate.
It seems that the eldest young master has made up his mind to keep the secret, and never let the opponent know the details of his training of the princess, and prepare to surprise Gongora in the battle of the dog king in a month.
Since then, Hua Bushi has been in the back garden almost every day when the sun rises, and he does not come out until dark, and he can only faintly hear the barking and wailing of dogs coming from inside the wall, but he cannot know the specific situation of the training.
In fact, there were many people who wanted to find out how the princess was trained, and those people were not at the behest of Gongora, but the gamblers in Okura.
As soon as the date of the Battle of the Inu-King was announced, the casinos in Okura Castle offered odds one after another. As a decisive battle of the "Zixiao Conference", this dog fight has attracted a lot of attention, but there are not many people who take out money to gamble at the beginning, and the reason is that the odds offered by the casino are too low.
Most casinos set odds are to buy ten to one, and some bets are also offered fifteen to one or twenty to one, which means that it costs fifteen taels or twenty taels of silver to buy a caravan to win, and in the end can only win one or two silver.
These odds are reasonable in the casino, because the strength of this dog fight is also one-sided, last year's dog king Xia Luo Raccoon against the princess of the big foodie pet dog, the strength of the two sides is too different, the result is no suspense at all.
Such low odds are difficult to arouse people's interest in betting, gamblers who want to get rich overnight, bet a dozen taels of silver and wait for a month to win a tael, it is better to go directly to the casino to bet on dice and pai gow to be refreshing.
Of course, if you dare to bet on the princess to win, you may also get rich overnight, but no one will do that, because it is no longer a question of whether you are bold enough, it is simply whether your mind is stupid.
However, after a few days, many casinos in the city have changed their odds, from buying ten to one to buying five to one, and then to buying three to one, and finally until buying two to one. The reason for this is that there are really stupid people in this world who actually spend a lot of money to buy the princess to win, and the odds of the casino are forcefully raised.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the name of this big fool was soon spread, and it was Hua Bushi, the owner of the Bark Sky Tower. It is said that this young master Hua placed a total of 50,000 silver taels in various casinos in one day, all of which were won by buying a princess.
Although the odds of buying two and losing one are not too high, they can already arouse the interest of many gamblers in betting. In the eyes of many people, betting on the raccoon is a sure thing to win and not lose, so everyone has taken money to bet, and within a few days, the odds of each casino have changed from buying two to one to buying five to one.
However, these odds did not last long, just because Hua Bushi shot again, this time he invested 100,000 silver taels, and forcibly raised the odds to two to one. Gamblers who didn't take advantage of the last odds change are betting at this point, and the odds are back to 1 to 5 a few days later.
The tug-of-war about casino odds was repeated again and again, when Hua Bushi made a bet for the fourth time, he actually took out 200,000 silver taels at a time, and once raised the odds to the extent of buying one and losing one, which made the gamblers in Okura City almost crazy, and many gamblers who did not want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune emptied their pockets of one or two silver, and even borrowed money to bet everywhere.
In just one month, Hua Bushi bet a total of as much as 500,000 taels of silver on the princess's body, almost with the strength of one person, and made a big gamble with all the gamblers in the entire Okura City. People in the city have all kinds of speculations about why this "evil dog boy" would do such a thing, and the conclusion that was finally accepted by everyone was that this Young Master Hua must have gone crazy.
Of course, not everyone thinks so, especially after the news that "Wanjintang" and the Spanish shipowner Gongora won the battle of the dog king, and the news of the exclusive trade rights of Okura Port was known by various trading houses, there was another legend, this young master Hua knew how to exorcise immortals and ghosts, and he could make the princess dog god possess his body, and his strength increased greatly.
After all, with the normal method of dog training, it is almost impossible for the princess to defeat the herald raccoon, and although the names of "Hua Shenxian" and "Bailan Holy Maiden" were spread among the indigenous Baba on the island, most of the residents of Okura Castle had heard of them.
As a result, many people tried to find out how the eldest young master was training dogs in the back garden of the Barking Tower, and whether he was setting up an altar as rumored to summon gods and ghosts. It's just that they all returned in vain, and Hua Bushi sealed the back garden tightly, and no one could peep at it.
And time flies, a month is about to pass in a blink of an eye, and the result of this big gamble is about to be revealed.
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ the eighth day of the eighth month of August, it is an auspicious day, and the weather is quite good, the sun is shining, and there are white clouds floating in the blue sky.
In the past, Zixiao Terrace has never been as lively as it is today, with crowds of people on and off the stage, and several surrounding streets are all lit up with colorful lights and colorful flags, just like the New Year.
Although the "Zixiao Dog Fighting Tournament" is a major event in the city, in the past, it was only related to the merchants of the various families in the city who did ocean trade, and it did not have much to do with ordinary residents, but this time the battle of the dog king seems to have become a matter for all the residents of Okura Castle.
After the siege was lifted, the battle with the pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace" was completely victorious, and Okura Castle faced many difficulties such as food shortages, and no large-scale events were held. Now that the grain ships sent to the mainland have returned to Hong Kong, the maritime traffic on Okura Island has been restored, all difficulties have been lifted, and the shops have reopened.
So many ordinary people went up to the street and gathered around Zixiao Terrace, even if the dispute between the dog king didn't matter to them, they could at least join in the fun.
And many fanatical gamblers are also an important reason why Zixiao Platform can be so lively today. This time, the number of people involved in gambling in the battle of the dog king, the huge amount of silver bets, far exceeded the previous ones, which would cause such a situation, and Hua Bushi's generous bets were indispensable. After this gamble of single-handedly taking out gamblers in the whole city, the reputation of the "big gambler" is probably inevitable after many notorieties such as greed for money, lust and ruthlessness.
