During the entire banquet, Hai Hongzhu was like a puppet being pulled back and forth involuntarily. She had never met any of these people, and even if she was introduced to them, she couldn't remember so many names.
The one thing that Hai Hongzhu can remember is probably a young man in black who carries a long sword and is as tall as a mountain. His name is "Qu Huze". He is said to be the top disciple of the "Iron Sword Sect". Although this man
He didn't speak much, but he had a dignified appearance and extraordinary aura, which coincided with the tall image of a "heroic figure" in Hai Hongzhu's mind.
There is also a fairy sister who is carrying a Yaoqin and wearing a snow-white long skirt that reaches the floor. She looks younger than Hai Hongzhu. It is said that she is the third lady of the "Monkey Shen Family". Her appearance and temperament are as good as Hai Hongzhu's.
I also feel amazing, but my expression seems a bit gloomy.
Compared with Hai Hongzhu's busy life, Yang Jiangyi was much more relaxed. Her clothes were not obvious, and most of the guests did not recognize her at all, nor did they know that she was Hua Tianxiong's new goddaughter.
For a while, she even left the lobby and went to the back garden of Washington DC to find Hua Bushi's five young disciples in a secluded courtyard.
A big banquet is held in the lobby of Washington DC, and a small banquet is held in the small courtyard.
Yu Qianli, Zhu Hong, Ximen Tong, Li Hu, and that elf-like junior sister Bai Yiling are all here.
Although they have always been practicing in the "Evil Dog Villa" and have never been to Washington before, today is Master Hua Bushi's "engagement" day. As "direct disciples", they don't want to join in the fun.
How can it be justified?
So Hua Bushi told Zhenniang to specially arrange this small banquet for them in the backyard.
Since the beginning of the banquet, the Huada young master himself has been missing. It was not until it was time to light the lanterns that he arrived belatedly.
Hai Hongzhu felt very unhappy!
It was obviously his own engagement party, but the young master acted indifferently. He was late and didn't say anything about being late. He was also lukewarm to the guests and only casually said hello to a few of them. On the contrary, he was the one who
The person who was forced to marry him had to go out to socialize on his behalf, and his waist was about to break from exhaustion!
Thinking of this, Hai Hongzhu secretly cursed the evil young master dozens of times.
Look at this young master of Huada, standing next to the "young hero" Qu Huze, he is simply a pheasant compared to a phoenix, even if he is a lot shorter, no matter the appearance, behavior, and demeanor, they are all the same in the sky.
, an underground!
Hai Hongzhu didn't understand why Hua Bushi didn't know how to feel ashamed of himself, and had to shamelessly talk to Qu Shaoxia without knowing what he was talking about!
And that fairy sister is actually there too!
Of course Hua Bushi didn't know what Hai Hongzhu was thinking, and he didn't really care about this so-called engagement party.
The underworld masters besieging the city have been slow to move, which is somewhat beyond Hua Bushi's expectations. He originally thought that the opponent had come from afar and could not be wasted for a long time. As soon as they gathered enough people, they would attack Wuyang City immediately. But it has been four days since then.
It passed, but there was still no movement, not even a tentative attack, which made Hua Bushi feel puzzled.
What are they waiting for? Or are they gathering strength to prepare for a thunderous strike?
If the opponent doesn't attack at this time, he must be waiting for a better opportunity than the current one, but Hua Bushi can't guess what it is.
He began to feel uneasy, feeling that he might have overlooked something important. Therefore, he patrolled around Wuyang City all day long, trying to find clues, but unfortunately he found nothing.
Naturally, this was what Hua Bushi and Qu Huze were talking about.
Except for Sun Ao, the second-generation leaders of the four major gangs did not come, Qu Huze and Shen Ying'er have arrived in Washington. It is now time to take the opportunity to discuss with them the events of the past few days.
Whether it is the "Four Evils" or Hua Bushi, the most important thing at this time is to successfully defend the city.
The wedding banquet has reached its climax.
Hua Tianxiong, the head of the "Evil Dog Sect", walked out of the back hall, and all the guests immediately fell silent. Although they have been in Wuyang City for many years, they rarely have the opportunity to see this former underworld giant who has been in seclusion.
Heifenglu was once ranked the 56th strongman!
Hua Bushi, Hai Hongzhu and Yang Jiangyi stepped forward to salute Hua Tianxiong. Seeing the two girls kneeling down and bowing down, the head of Huada laughed loudly, waved his giant palm, and handed out red envelopes.
…
At night.
The banquet has ended and the guests have all left.
The sound of people died away, and calm returned to the Washington mansion. Only the sounds of servants patrolling around the mansion could be heard.
In a small courtyard in the east chamber, Hai Hongzhu had taken off her makeup, her dress and the jingling jewelry, and put on a light pink skirt. She was looking at the candlelight on the table in trance.
.
At the end of the day, she had performed hundreds of salutes, and even though she had practiced martial arts since childhood, she was so tired that her back ached. But at this moment, Hai Hongzhu's mood was a bit complicated.
During her days in her hometown in the countryside, Hai Hongzhu had imagined that one day she would be engaged and married to a man, but she never imagined that her engagement banquet would be so lively and grand, with so many guests coming.
Come and say congratulations.
In fact, the Hua family is also very good. It is a big family with a strict family background. The master is very kind, Zhen Niang is warm and kind, and everyone is very kind to her. But... it would be better if the person getting married is not Hua Bushi.
If Hua Bushi were replaced by Qu Huze, Hai Hongzhu would definitely feel very happy.
The sound of footsteps interrupted her thoughts.
"Hello, young master." It was the voice of the maid outside the door.
Since Father Hai agreed to the marriage, Zhenniang arranged for Hai Hongzhu to live in the small courtyard in the east chamber, and also found a little maid to serve at her disposal.
"Is Miss Hai inside?" Hua Bushi's voice came out.
"If you want to reply to the young master, Miss Hai is in the room." The maid replied.
"Very good, you go down, you have nothing to do here." Hua Bushi sent the little maid away.
It's that evil young master here! What does he want to do here so late? Hai Hongzhu is very confused.
Hua Bushi pushed the door open and walked into the room, then turned around and closed the door very carefully.
However, before he could see Hai Hongzhu, his neck was already strangled by an arm, and then he tripped, lost his balance, and was thrown to the ground like a dead dog!
Hua Bushi's right wrist was twisted behind his back, and Hai Hongzhu's foot stepped on his Jianjing point.
These few moves were extremely clean and neat. The "tendon-splitting hand" in Haijia Quan is not just for its reputation!
"What do you want to do here? Tell me!" Hai Hongzhu asked sternly, with a look that looked like a heroine in the world.
"Miss Hai, please don't get me wrong! Xiao Ke has no other intention in coming here, he just wants to say a few words to Miss Hai." Hua Bushi replied.
Hai Hongzhu said: "If you have anything to say, say it quickly!"
In her opinion, the evil young master who was captured by the Hai family's "muscle splitting hands" showed some integrity by not fearing pain and begging for mercy.
But I heard Hua Bushi say: "Miss Hai, can you let go of Xiao Ke and let Hua Bushi stand up and talk? It's really uncomfortable to look like this now."
Hai Hongzhu snorted, as expected, Young Master Hua still couldn't stand it.
Hua Bushi said again: "In this room, if Miss Hai wants to capture Hua Bushi, she can do it at any time, so why worry about letting Xiao Ke go temporarily?"
This is quite true.
"Moreover, Miss Hai is a girl, and she is wearing a skirt. Putting her legs on Xiao Ke's shoulders like this is really not very elegant."
Huh! This guy really has bad intentions! Hai Hongzhu's heart was filled with anger, but her face turned crimson. She squeezed Hua Bushi's arm twice more, then shook her hand and relaxed the restraint.
He saw Hua Bushi slowly getting up from the ground, rubbing his arm that was twisted by Hai Hongzhu.
"I saw Miss Hai being cheerful and lively the day before yesterday, but I didn't expect her to be so savage. Could it be that I saw the wrong person?" He muttered in a low voice as if talking to himself.
Hai Hongzhu was furious and said: "What did you say!"
However, Hua Bushi calmly found a chair at the table and sat down, then said leisurely: "But Miss Hai must not like Xiao Ke. Hua Bushi will not be wrong about this."
Hai Hongzhu said: "So what if I don't like you? Who would like a wicked young master like you!"
Hua Bushi said: "Since the girl doesn't like me, she probably won't really want to get married to Hua Bushi."
Hai Hongzhu said: "So what?"
Hua Bushi smiled slightly and said, "Young man, you can safely make a deal with the girl."
Hai Hongzhu asked curiously: "Deal?"
According to Hai Hongzhu's previous assumptions, she should have grabbed Hua Bushi, forced the evil young master to kneel down and beg for mercy, promised to let the three members of the Hai family out of the house, and swore to never do this kind of bullying of men and women again.
.Unexpectedly, in the current situation, it was this young master from Huada who took the initiative to make a deal with her!
Making deals with evil people does not seem to be in line with Hai Hongzhu's idea of a chivalrous act.
But I heard Na Hua Bushi say: "Xiao Ke can promise to let Old Uncle Hai go, let the brother and the girl go out of the house, and is also willing to give a thousand taels of silver and help the Hai family open a boxing gym in Wuyang City. I don't know Miss Hai."
how about?"
Hai Hongzhu felt even more strange and said, "How can such a wicked young master like you be so good?"
Hua Bushi said: "But these all have to wait for three months. After three months, you and I can terminate the engagement, and I will fulfill these promises one by one."
Hai Hongzhu said: "If you want to break off the engagement, why do you want to force my father to agree to the marriage?"
Hua Bushi said: "Young lady doesn't need to know what's involved. As long as we agree to the three-month appointment proposed by Xiao Ke, our deal can be completed."
Hai Hongzhu said: "You forced me to make this engagement. If you want to terminate it, does it matter whether I agree or not?"
Hua Bushi said: "There is another condition, that is, during these three months, you and I must get along well, act like a normal couple, and not let others see any flaws."
Hai Hongzhu said: "Bah! You think too well, you must have bad intentions!"
Hua Bushi said: "Miss Hai, please don't misunderstand me. During this period, Xiao Ke will treat the girl with courtesy and will never dare to go overboard in the slightest."
Hai Hongzhu thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any other conditions?"
Hua Bushi said: "These are the only conditions. However, this matter must be kept secret and must not be spread to outsiders. Can you agree?"
Hai Hongzhu said: "You are an evil young master with many tricks up his sleeves. I don't really believe him. I have to think carefully before speaking."
Hua Bushi said: "Miss Hai can think about it slowly..."
Before he finished speaking, Hai Hongzhu suddenly heard a loud roar, and a red firework suddenly rose in the mid-air not far away. It was so bright that it could still be clearly seen through the windows of the house!
She turned to look at Hua Bushi again, only to see that he seemed to have an expression of extreme surprise!
