It's not unusual for gangs to negotiate with each other and ambush people around them, often to protect the safety of their leaders. But at this time, Li Hu could clearly feel the killing intent that existed in these people around him, and the ambush here was by no means for protection, but for attacking.

"Hong Shengtang" weishenme is arranged like this, do they want to wipe out Hua Bushi and his party?

Zhu Hong didn't find so many killers, but he and Li Hu got along with each other on weekdays, and they had a very good understanding with each other, as long as they looked at each other, he already knew what this fourth junior brother meant.

Yang Jiangyi followed Hua Bushi's side step by step, and he was also on guard. Although she was not as nervous as Li Hu and Zhu Hong, with Yang Jiangyi's martial arts cultivation, the dangerous aura around her could not escape her senses.

Among the four, only Hua Bushi seemed slightly relaxed, at least from the outside, he looked calm. He threw away the reins of the horse, walked straight to the "Desheng Pavilion", and stopped when he reached the door.

There were already three people standing side by side at the gate.

Standing in the middle was a middle-aged man wearing a melon-skin hat and a printed brocade robe, he was slender and long, with bulging cheekbones on his face, a short beard on his lips, and a beardless chin that was smooth and shiny. Judging from his appearance, he doesn't look like a martial artist, but more like a businessman.

Standing to his left was a young man in his twenties, dressed as a scholar, dressed in a gray Confucian shirt, with a jade belt tied around his waist, but on the jade belt hung a sheathed knife. Scholars generally do not carry weapons, and even if they do, they also wear more swords, but this young scholar has a knife hanging from his waist, and this knife is more than five inches wide, thicker than ordinary steel knives, which looks a little peculiar.

On the right is a six-foot-tall man, with large shoulders and a thick waist, a full beard, a dark complexion, wearing a cyan suit, a wide belt around his waist, and no weapons. This kind of person is very common in the rivers and lakes, and it is not surprising.

The middle-aged man who looked like a businessman stepped forward and hugged his fist at Hua Bushi and said, "Under the 'Hong Shengtang' Lei Wanniu, this son is the head of Hua Shao of the 'Evil Dog Gate'?"

Hua Bushi returned the salute and said: "Xiao Kehua Bushi, I have seen the Lei Gang Master!"

Lei Wanniu said: "Don't dare! Lei invited Hua Gongzi to come to this 'Desheng Pavilion' to fight horse hanging, in order to make up the number of people, he invited two friends, please don't be surprised." ”

He pointed to the young scholar with the saber and said, "This virtuous brother Hu Jinting is the young head of the 'Golden Dao Gate', and he is a scholar like Hua Gongzi, you must be able to talk about it." ”

The young scholar arched his hand and said: "I don't know the name of 'Evil Dog Boy', but it's really a pleasure to meet you today." ”

Hua Bushi returned the courtesy.

"Golden Knife Gate" Hua Bushi has also heard of it before, it is another small sect in Changsha City, Shili is not big, but the "Golden Cutting Technique" knife technique inherited in the door is very powerful, unique, and has some fame in the martial arts.

Lei Wanniu pointed to the six-foot man in green clothes on the side of Xiangyou, and said: "This is the head of Tang Long, the head of the 'Yangwei Dart Bureau' in Changsha City, and he is also a good friend of Lei." ”

The man in Tsing Yi didn't speak, but just bowed his hand to Hua Bushi.

"Yangwei Dart Bureau" is indeed a dart bureau of a large scale, and there are sub-bureaus in various towns in Hunan Province, and the General Bureau is in Changsha City, but I didn't expect that Tang Long, the head of the dart bureau, is such a rude man.

After the ceremony, Lei Wanniu led the way, and everyone followed him and walked into the "Desheng Pavilion" together.

The lobby in the "Tokushokan" is eight feet square, and the windows on all sides are closed, which is quite dark. The lobby was empty, except for a table of eight immortals and four chairs in the center, and a pair of horse tags on the table.

In the general horse tag hall, there are many card tables, guests come in to play cards, there are guys serving tea and snacks, in the more advanced card halls, there are artists playing the piano and singing, playing allegro and other entertaining programs. But today's "Desheng Pavilion" is empty, not even a guy running the hall can be seen, let alone an artist who sells singing and storytelling, and the windows and doors are closed, and the light in the hall is insufficient, showing a bit of gloomy atmosphere.

Lei Wanniu walked to the table of eight immortals and said, "Today, Hua Gongzi is here, if you can afford to see Lei, please sit down and play a few laps of horse cranes with us and make friends, how about it?"

Hua Bushi looked at the face of this Lei gang leader, but saw that he was expressionless, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, and then looked at the young scholar Hu Jinting and the chief dart head Tang Long, and the expression on his face was the same, and he couldn't see what they were thinking at all.

Hua Bushi's heart couldn't help but have a strange feeling. He was originally very good at checking faces, and of course he also knew that if people wanted to hide their thoughts, they could try not to show their faces, but it was difficult for most people to be completely expressionless, and the flow of eyes and some subtle changes in their faces would still reveal their inner emotions.

However, the three people in front of him had no expression on their faces at all from the time they met outside the door just now, although the "Hong Shengtang" gang leader Lei Wanniu was quite polite in his words, but there was no smile on his face, Hua Bushi saw it in his eyes, and felt more and more strange in his heart.

He clenched his fists and said loudly: "Xiao Ke came here today to discuss with the Lei Gang Master the redemption of Miss Zhuo Yiwen of the 'Pear Cui Garden', if the Lei Gang Master has any conditions, he can propose it in person, and Hua Bushi will try his best to meet it." ”

Unable to see through the other party's thoughts, Hua Bushi simply went straight to the point and put things out to talk about directly.

Lei Wanniu waved his hand and said: "It's just a trivial matter of redeeming one's life, it's not enough to worry about, how can we spoil our playing cards for it, and invite Hua Gongzi to sit down first and play a game of horse hanging together, how about discussing other things later?"

This Lei gang leader refused to talk about business, but he had to fight the horse. Hua Bushi hesitated a little in his heart, but the other party sent an invitation, but it was difficult to refuse.

He glanced at the hall, then looked at the Eight Immortals table and the horse tag on it, and said, "It's okay, Xiao Ke will play a game with the Lei Gang Master first." ”

At that moment, Lei Wanniu, Hu Jinting, Tang Long and Hua Bushi were seated and sat around the Eight Immortals table, Yang Jiangyi stood beside Hua Bushi, while Zhu Hong and Li Hu stood behind them, only one step away from Hua Bushi.

Lei Wanniu said: "Hua Gongzi is a guest from afar, and you will be the banker in this game, how about it?"

Hua Bushi said: "Since the Lei Gang Master is so humble, Xiao Ke can obey his fate." ”

For horse hanging, Hua Bushi is also quite proficient. There are a total of 40 horse tags, and the suits are divided into four types: "Cross Gate", "Wanzi Door", "Suozi Gate" and "Wenqian Gate". The rule is that one person is the banker, three are free, each person takes eight cards, and the remaining eight are idle. Then the four people take turns to play cards, take cards, play cards to hit the small, three players work together to attack the dealer, so that the next dealer can win.

Lei Wanniu reached out and picked up the horse tag on the table, shuffled the cards, and was very skillful.

He shuffled the cards and put them back on the table, and the four of them began to take the cards.

The game of the horse crane is not complicated, this game of the horse crane also played very fast, Hua Bushi is lucky to be a dealer, three of the four suits of the big cards have been taken into the hand, soon has the upper hand, after a few rounds of cards, the eight cards that were previously placed on the table have also been taken away seven, only one zuihou remains.

Hua Bushi played another "Zun Wan Wanguan" card, suppressed the player's attack, as long as he took a piece of Zuihou, he had to win the game. But at this time, he suddenly put the cards in his hand on the table and said: "Lei Gang Master, you don't have to play any more, this game is a small loss." ”

Lei Wanniu said: "What does Hua Gongzi mean by this, this game is not over yet, why do you admit defeat?"

Hua Bushi said: "I heard rumors in the rivers and lakes that the Lei Gang Master is very righteous and is a good man who is bright and strong, Hua Bushi came today, but he just wanted to discuss the redemption of Miss Zhuo, but I don't know why the Lei Gang Master used such a vicious method, and he had to put the small to death?"

Lei Wanniu said: "How do you say this?"

Hua Bushi said: "In this set of horse tags, only one of the back is smeared with poison, and when you shuffled the card just now, you deliberately put it in Zuihou in an attempt to lead me to get it." The poison of rotten bone grass is colorless and odorless, can penetrate from the skin, and it will be poisoned if it is stained, and there is no cure, but this poison has a characteristic, that is, it will emit a little white light in the dark. Although Xiao Ke has been studying medical skills for a long time, if it weren't for the lack of light in this room, it would be difficult to identify!"

As soon as he said this, everyone looked at the card on the table again, and sure enough, they saw a faint white light emitting from the card. This white light is extremely subtle, if it weren't for Hua Bushi to say it, I'm afraid no one would notice it.

was exposed by Hua Bushi about the means of poisoning, Lei Wanniu's face was still expressionless, and said: "It turns out that Hua Gongzi is good at poison skills and can see through the means of rotting bone grass, Lei closed the window of this house, but I didn't expect it to help you!"

At this moment, I don't know what signal Lei Wanniu sent, and suddenly, all the tightly closed windows around were pushed open from the outside with a "bang", and the sunlight shone into the room, and everyone in the hall was suddenly dazzled!

The hall was quite dark before, and the sudden inflow of light changed dramatically, but the human eye needed a process of adaptation, and everyone was greatly reduced for a while. And Lei Wanniu, Hu Jinting and Tang Long seemed to have made an agreement, and at the same time, they got up from the chair in front of the table of the Eight Immortals, jumped back, and wanted to fly away.

However, none of them could escape!

Everyone was still unable to see at this time, and they only heard the sound of "Zheng Zheng Zheng" several times of blade fighting, and then there was a "snap" sound, as if the palm force collided, and then there was a clear sound, but it was the sound of Yang Jiangyi's "Chixue" giant sword coming out of the sheath!

After a few breaths, people's eyes adjusted to the sunlight shining into the room, and they saw dozens of sharp arrows poking out from the more than ten windows on all sides of the hall, and dozens of archers were actually ambushing, bending bows and arrows to point at the hall.

Hua Bushi was still sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, looking leisurely and motionless, while Yang Jiangyi, Li Hu and Zhu Hong had already formed a tripartite standing, forcing Lei Wanniu, Hu Jinting and Tang Long respectively!
