Chapter 769: Invitation
Li Hu frowned when he heard this, and said after a while: "On the official ship that day, Shi Qingzhu once told me about the leader of the 'Heavenly Punishment', does the boss know what she said?"
Hua Bushi said: "What did she say?"
Li Hu said: "She said that although the monarch does not know martial arts, he has the ability to retreat from heaven and earth, knows everything about the world, knows everything, and knows everything like a god, strategizing, and is the wisest person in the world." When I heard it that day, I didn't think so, no matter how smart that monarch is, how can he compare to you, the stone boss!"
Hua Bushi said: "There are countless capable people in this world, and it is not surprising that there are people who have intelligence beyond me. ”
Li Hu shook his head and said: "Impossible, in my opinion, the wisdom of the stone boss is the first in the world, and no one can compare with it, but sometimes you are too soft-hearted to make some mistakes." ”
Hua Bushi's heart suddenly moved when he heard this, and said, "Oh, tell me, what mistakes did I make?"
Li Hu said: "Although Shi Qingzhu is the main cause of this operation, our goal is the monarch's father, and only by killing the monarch's father can the 'Heavenly Punishment' organization be withdrawn and collapsed." If we take the liberty of capturing Shi Qingzhu now, we are not completely sure that we can get the information of the monarch from her mouth, and most of us will also startle the snake and make the other party take precautions. ”
Hua Bushi said: "Shi Qingzhu is a priest, and he should be regarded as an important figure in the 'Heavenly Punishment' organization, and he must know a lot of information. As long as I capture this person alive by surprise, I have my own way to ask for all the news from her mouth, so that I am at least sixty percent sure that I will find out the monarch's father and crack the 'heavenly punishment' in one fell swoop." ”
Li Hu said: "Then there is still a forty percent chance that the monarch will escape." ”
Hua Bushi said: "There are already a lot of six achievements, killing the monarch's father and cracking the 'Heavenly Punishment' is a very difficult thing, where is it possible to be absolutely sure?"
Li Hu said: "Even if everything is not absolute, but if we don't move Shi Qingzhu for the time being, I will stay in the 'Tianzhu' to participate in this operation, and I should be able to find a more haode time to do it, and the certainty of cracking the 'Tianzhu' will be greater." I know that the boss is worried about my safety, so he wants to rush to do it, which is actually not the wisest thing to do. ”
With the "Heavenly Punishment" killer's fierce and fearless style of acting, it is not easy to capture Shi Qingzhu alive, and even if she is caught, whether Shi Qingzhu knows the identity of the monarch's father, and whether she can use her to break the entire "Heavenly Punishment" organization, is still undecided, and of course Hua Bushi will not know about this section.
However, if you don't take action and let Li Hu continue to stay in the "Heavenly Punishment" organization, the risk is not small, and it is related to Li Hu's life, and it is inevitable to make a decision.
In the past, Li Hu obeyed the words of the "stone boss", and as long as it was his orders, he would carry them out without a word, but at this time, he bluntly said that the eldest young master was too soft-hearted and not wise enough, which surprised Hua Bushi, and he also deeply felt that the three disciples who could only draw their swords and work hard in the past had matured a lot after a lot of training over the years.
He stared at Li Hu's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Have you ever thought that although Shi Qingzhu believes that you are Han Jiuzhong, she didn't kill you this time, just to use your ability, and the kind of benefits and conditions she said to let you join the Divine Monarch Hall are just a lie to let you work for the 'Heavenly Punishment'?"
Li Hu said: "I didn't believe what she said at all. ”
Hua Bushi said: "Then you should also know that if the assassination is completed, she will most likely be cooked by rabbits and dogs, killing you and killing you, even in action, you may be treated as an outcast at any time, and it is very dangerous for you to stay in 'Tianzhu', and you will be worried about your life at any time." ”
Li Hu said: "Of course I understand this. However, as the boss just said, it is very difficult to crack the 'Heavenly Punishment', if I don't dare to take risks, how can I do it? Not to mention that I am not a person who pinches me, and it is not so easy for them to kill me!"
He grinned and said: "Father Jun claims to be the wisest person in the world, he must be very cunning, even if the boss is stronger than him, there should not be the slightest negligence in this fighting method, as long as I have more certainty of cracking the 'Heavenly Punishment', it is worth it even if I fight with my life!"
Hua Bushi's face was solemn, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you really think it's worth your life?"
Li Hu said: "Yes, I remember that the boss said that he would break the 'Heavenly Punishment' to avenge his disciples, and not long ago, I also promised a person that he must exterminate this killer organization and get rid of the monarch father, so as to comfort his spirit in the sky!"
Hua Bushi's eyes were like a glimmer of light, staring at Li Hu. He didn't know who Li Hu had promised and why he had made this promise, but he would not forget the oath he had made.
In that year, in the Kunshan Mountain, eleven disciples of the Perak Camp died at the hands of "Heavenly Punishment" in order to protect him. Wang Changsheng, Chu Jie, Qian Xiao, Zhou Zhiyan, Yu Hongyi...... Hua Bushi still remembers everyone's names clearly, and he must give an explanation to these disciples who sacrificed for him!
He has at least eleven reasons to exterminate the "Heavenly Punishment"!
After ※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ tea time, the wooden door opened, and Li Hu walked out of the house.
When he went out, he carried a ingots of ten taels in his hand, and scolded and said: "What 'Wanli Casino', if it weren't for the knowledge of being a shopkeeper, if you lost Lao Tzu's silver taels, you will know how powerful the master is!"
Dou Fei had been guarding the door all the time, and when he saw Li Hu come out, he made a "please" gesture, Li Hu snorted, muttered through the front hall, and swaggered away.
To deal with the officers who lost the gambling and made trouble, it is not uncommon for the gambling hall to lose a few taels of silver to settle the matter, and some people in the front hall who were waiting to see the excitement were all dispersed when they saw this scene.
In the study at the back, Hua Bushi sat at the table, his eyes flickering, as if he was still thinking and groaning.
Dou Fei walked in, closed the door with his backhand, and said with his fists, "Young Master Hua, please." ”
Hua Bushi came back to his senses at this time, stood up and bowed his hand in return: "Young proprietor Dou is invited, this time fortunately there is a young proprietor to help, there is a lot of trouble." ”
Dou Fei said with a smile: "Young Master Hua, where is this coming from, a little thing, compared to Young Master Hua's great kindness to our 'Wanli Tang' and Dou, it is really not worth mentioning!"
This middle-aged man in the costume of the casino patrol turned out to be the young owner of the Jianghu sect "Wanlitang" in the southern city of Beijing.
Beijing is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the most prosperous metropolitan city in the Central Plains, and there are many gangs in the city, among which there are eight larger ones, "Wanli Tang" is based in the south of the city, which is one of them, and "Wanli Gambling House" is the industry under its door.
Three years ago, when the "Evil Dog Gate" was expanding in Lujing, it happened to catch up with a batch of darts of "Wanlitang" was looted by the local underworld, Hua Bushi ordered his disciples to help, not only helped them keep the darts, but also saved the lives of several masters of the "Wanlitang" escort goods, including the young proprietor Dou Fei, and the two also formed some friendships.
This time when he came to the capital to meet with Li Hu, he had to be very secretive, so as to avoid the eyes and ears of the "heavenly punishment", so Hua Bushi found the "Wanli Hall", hoping to use the help of this Dou Shao proprietor to perform a big drama of losing money and making trouble in the casino.
Dou Fei walked to the wall, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the brick wall a few times, only to hear a "rolling" sound, and a bookcase placed next to the wall slowly moved away, revealing a secret passage entrance.
Dou Fei said: "The carriage is parked outside, and Young Master Hua can leave by car when he goes out from this road." Brother Hua can rest assured that Dou will be tight-lipped about today's events and will not tell anyone, not even the other brothers in this hall. ”
Hua Bushi said: "Then thank you Dou Shao Proprietor!"
As he spoke, he arched his hand and was about to go out of Yongdao, but Dou Fei suddenly said: "There is one more thing, Dou wants to discuss it with Young Master Hua, but I don't know that it is inconvenient for Fang to say." ”
Hua Bushi said: "Brother Dou has something to say, even if he speaks, why be polite?"
Dou Fei said: "Today is April 30th, soon it is the Duanyang Festival, the city's annual 'Jingwu Lion King Conference' will be held on the fifth day of the Dragon Boat Festival in the first day of May. If Master Hua can appreciate his face, the parish will definitely offer a generous bonus gift. ”
"The Lion King Conference of the Duanyang Festival, but I don't know what's going on?" Hua Bushi asked.
Although he rarely comes to Beijing and has never heard of this so-called "Jingwu Lion King Conference", he can also imagine that if it is just an ordinary lion dance conference, Dou Fei does not need to be so solemnly invited, and he also proposes benefits such as gifts and bonuses, which must be unusual.
Dou Fei said: "Young Master Hua just doesn't ask, Dou will also tell you the details......"
The annual Duanyang Festival's "Jingwu Lion King Meeting" is a gathering of people in the martial arts of Beijing. The capital is prosperous and wealthy, and it is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the gangs in the rivers and lakes that can gain a foothold in the city have a lot of income every year, but they must also have an extraordinary foundation.
Wherever there are interests, disputes are indispensable. Nowadays, there are eight gangs in Beijing, known as the "Eight Gates of Yanjing", and most of the territory and industries in the city are divided by them. Taking the largest "Jinyang Gate" in the city as an example, its backstage is the leader of the eunuch party, the great eunuch Wang Chengen, and the behind-the-scenes boss of another "Yuelong Martial Arts Hall" is Zhang Fengyi, the current secretary of the military department.
"Wanlitang" can only be regarded as a middle and lower level in terms of shili in the "Yanjing Eight Gates", slightly stronger than the "Tianxianghui" at the end, but far less than the gangs of "Jinyang" and "Yuelong". The hall master Dou Ruyuan, that is, Dou Fei's father, and Xu Hao, who is now the head of the household, are cousins of the same clan, which can be regarded as having a slight foundation.
In addition to the existing eight gangs, there are also many gangs in the rivers and lakes who want to enter the city to grab territory, develop industries, and share a bowl of soup.
