Chapter 771: Strong Expansion
For Hua Bushi, he didn't know much about the prosperity of the capital.
The carriage passed through several streets, and after half a pillar of incense, it had come to the "Horse Pavilion" near the Yongding Gate in the outer city, which was the post house where Hua Bushi temporarily lived.
There are many official posts in the capital, as many as five or six. The "Yihe Pavilion" where Zhu Yousong, the son of King Fu, lives in the west of the city, not far from the Forbidden Imperial City, its house is large, the decoration is luxurious, it is not much different from a small palace, it belongs to the first-class post house in the capital, and the princes and adults from all over the country come to the capital to face the saint, and most of them live there.
The "Horse Pavilion" can also rank first in the official post in the capital, but it is the last. Not only is it located in the more remote outer city, but the whole post house is a large area of low courtyard houses, although there are many houses in the hall, but most of them are narrow and simple, in terms of comfort, even inferior to the slightly better inns.
Even the low-end post house such as the "Horse House" is not something that ordinary people can live in. If it weren't for the court officials or official documents, the common people wouldn't want to live in. And living in this inn, for Hua Bushi, whose whereabouts do not want to be known to outsiders, is the most haode choice.
Hua Bushi is not an official, and naturally he does not have official documents, he can live in the Horse Pavilion, but he still has to thank Wu Yinghao.
In the past, the general manager of the seven-rank Wu in Wuyang City made a great contribution to the capture and killing of Zhu Zhenyan, and was promoted to Changsha Mansion as the general manager. In the past few years, Wu Yinghao's official fortune has been prosperous, and he was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Zhenfu Department three years ago, and a year and a half later, he was promoted to another level, becoming the Zhengwupin Zhenfu envoy and the Zhengyin General Soldier of Changsha Mansion.
When Qianhuafang sent the news of Li Hu to Hua Bushi, the eldest young master was in Jinan Mansion. He did not hesitate, immediately gathered his men, and rushed to the capital in person, but met Wu Yinghao with more than 200 officers and soldiers and eight caravans on the official road.
When you meet an old friend in another country, you will have some emotion. After talking, Hua Bushi learned that this Wu general soldier had recently received an order from the military department and was about to go to Beijing to report on his work, so he proposed to go with Wu Yinghao's team.
Within five years, he was promoted to five levels in a row, and Wu Yinghao has long been well versed in the way of being an official, and the eight caravans he brought into Beijing this time were all loaded with gold and silver. Even if Wu Yinghao was escorted by a team of 200 officers and horses, he was still worried about going north all the way, for fear that he would be robbed by a strongman, and he would not be able to keep the eight carts of gold and silver treasures, and he would lose both his personal property. Now Hua Bushi proposed to go along, but he really couldn't ask for it.
The "Evil Dog Gate" is powerful, how could Wu Yinghao not know that with Hua Bushi and a group of "Evil Dog Gate" disciples escorting, the safety on the way to the capital is enough to sit back and relax!
The general soldier of Zhengwupin, who is in charge of the local military power in Changsha Mansion in Xiangjing, is a great big man, but when he arrives in Beijing, he is only a petty official who cannot be ranked. After entering the city, Wu Yinghao took more than ten people to the horse hall dedicated to entertaining low-level officials, Hua Bushi naturally lived in with him, and Wu Yinghao's official army horse team, as well as other disciples under the "Evil Dog Gate" camped outside the city.
When the carriage came to the door of the post house, Meng Huan flashed his waist card to the soldiers guarding the inn, and drove directly into the gate.
Although Hua Bushi was only Wu Yinghao's entourage in name, as soon as he entered the horse hall, he spent two dozen silver taels to point the post officer, so he lived in a separate courtyard with the best decoration in the post house and the most secluded.
Hua Bushi got out of the carriage and walked into the front hall of the courtyard, but saw that there were already three people in the hall, the delicate woman sitting on the chair and the gray-haired old man were Chu Yiyi and Xiong Bailing, and the young man standing next to him who was seven feet tall and had a thick waist was Xiong Bailing's son, the young Xiong Tiannan of the Xiong family, who was both civil and military.
This time Hua Bushi came to the capital, not only Yu Qianli, Zhu Hong and others were not around, but the three major war departments did not follow, in addition to Chu Yiyi and Meng Huan, there were only Sima Rulan, and the "Great Rebellion Department" of Xiong Bailing and his son of "Wanjintang".
It is not easy to deal with the "Heavenly Punishment", not that Hua Bushi does not want to bring a group of masters in the door, but because of the urgency of the matter, the manpower of the "Evil Dog Gate" is all over the rudder in various realms, and it is difficult to gather it for a while.
Within five years, Shili expanded to seven provinces, established hundreds of rudders in each state capital, and the rapid rise of the "Evil Dog Gate" surprised many people in the rivers and lakes. However, it is precisely because of the rapid expansion that it is feared by many sects, which also makes the industry and territory of the "Evil Dog Gate" in various places not so stable.
Because they fought against the Demon Dao together in Yujing back then, the "Evil Dog Gate" and the "Shaolin Faction" formed an alliance, which can be regarded as a bit of friendship. In addition, the other six factions in the "Seven Great Sects" have a bad relationship with the "Evil Dog Sect", especially the "Wudang" and "Tang Sect" factions, and because they feel the threat of the "Evil Dog Sect", they are not very friendly to this newly rising sect.
In addition to the "Seven Major Sects", many small and medium-sized gangs in various realms are also full of hostility to the "Evil Dog Gate", a fierce dragon that crosses the river, and with their strength, they are not opponents alone, so they mostly join forces to form alliances in order to prevent the strong expansion of the "Evil Dog Gate".
And the opponents of the "Evil Dog Gate", in addition to these Jianghu sects, there is also the underworld "World Alliance".
Since the battle of Taohuayu in the Yellow River, after Yu Qianli killed Chu Changting, the "World Alliance" has regarded the "Evil Dog Gate" as the biggest thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and it has to be eliminated as soon as possible. After that, every time he went to a realm to establish a rudder, the first enemy Hua Bushi had to face was the local underworld alliance.
Compared with the initial low-key development in Guangdong and Fujian, Hua Bushi's expansion in Henan, Shandong, Zhejiang, and Hebei provinces is quite tough, because the "evil dog gate" has been feared by many rivers and lakes.
The consequences of such a strong expansion are naturally indispensable to fighting and fighting. Within a few years, there were constant wars between the "Evil Dog Gate" and all parties, especially when the Lujing, where there were many gangs and the most powerful people, established a rudder, and once selected 18 sects in seven prefectures and cities within a month. The so-called words of "Rather offend Yama than provoke evil dogs" began to spread in the rivers and lakes from that time.
In terms of combat power, in addition to having many masters, today's "Evil Dog Gate" also has three major war departments, namely Qingyunwei, Thorn Tiger and Thunderbolt Battalion, which are among the "Seven Major Sects of the Central Plains", and only "Shaolin" and "Wudang" can be compared. However, Hua Bushi's plan is not only to create a gate sect limited to several realms, his goal is to make the rudder of the "Evil Dog Gate" spread to the two regions and thirteen provinces under the Great Tomorrow, only in this way, in his ideal, the new order of the rivers and lakes can be established and maintained.
Dominating the world is easier said than done!
Just two months ago, the underworld "Tianxia Alliance" and dozens of Baidao sects suddenly gathered a large number of people and horses to attack the rudder of the "Evil Dog Gate" in Zhejiang and Shandong.
Although the "Evil Dog Gate" responded to the battle in a bit of a hurry, but with the support of the intelligence of the "Thousand Flowers", Hua Bushi mobilized his subordinates to deploy the defense in a timely manner, and did not let the attackers take any advantage.
Now Guoloumeng and Ximen Tong led the Thunderbolt Battalion to confront the men and horses of the underworld "Tianxia Alliance" in the area of Jinan Mansion in the Lu realm, while Yu Qianli, Zhu Hong and Bai Yiling led Qingyunwei to deal with dozens of Baidao gangs in Zhejiang.
With the strength of one faction to resist the dozens of shili of black and white, the strong strength shown by the "Evil Dog Sect" is terrifying, but because of this, most of the liliang of the sect are involved. Except for the Tiger Thorns who guarded the ocean-going fleet on Okura Island, and Hua Tianxiong, the head of the helmsman in Xiangxi, Hua Bushi could still mobilize the combat power, only Sima Rulan and "Wan Jintang" remained.
Sima Rulan is no longer comparable to what it used to be. In the past five years in the Middle Earth Continent, she has gone through many wars, not only the family heirloom "Shaolin School" stunts have been a great achievement, but also the Qimen martial arts "Three Absolute Flames" that she learned have also reached the realm of perfection.
It is Guo Loumeng, the Great Venerable of the Poison Gate, if he does not use Gu poison, only compared with martial arts, it is not easy to win the current Sima Rulan.
Guoloumeng is dressed as a shimmering old man, always wearing a human skin mask, and his face is always difficult to show expression, so he has earned a nickname of "cold noodles" in the rivers and lakes, and Sima Rulan has an elegant temperament and is as beautiful as a fairy, so he is called the "Jade Fairy".
Now Leng Mian Suo and Jade Fairy have become the two most famous masters after Hua Tianxiong in the "Evil Dog Gate", which is better than the "Four Little Dogs", and everyone knows and knows in the rivers and lakes.
Leng Miansuo is terrifying, because of Guo Loumeng's peerless poisonous skills, as well as the cunning and ruthlessness when he shot, and the Jade Fairy's deterrence of the Jianghu people is not under Leng Miansuo, but not only because of Sima Rulan herself, but also because of the two hundred brave giants who follow her at all times.
As the eldest lady of the city lord, Sima Rulan, of course, will not be unguarded. The two elders of the "Wanjin Hall", Yao Yuanxiao and Chai Lin, are now in charge of many affairs of Okura City, and the responsibility of protecting the eldest lady falls on the shoulders of Xiong Bailing and the Xiong family's big department.
Soon after Sima Rulan came to the Middle-earth Continent, Xiong Bailing led the Xiong family's great army across the sea and followed her. For several years, all the enemies who wanted to threaten the city lord and the eldest lady had to pass through the Great Sect, and there were already many Jianghu sects that had fallen at their feet.
