These ocean-going ships are all giant ships weighing thousands of tons. They are often equipped with heavy-armored cannons and employ expert armed escorts. The goods loaded on the ships are of course of extremely high value. The "Black Dragon King" specializes in plundering these large-cargo merchant ships.
You can imagine how powerful they are, and they are nothing compared to the so-called "Six Great Bandits" who are just making small fuss along the coast.
Hua Bushi, who has been in the inland Hunan border, has heard about the ocean trade along the coast of the Ming Dynasty, but he doesn't know much about it. But after hearing what Chai Lin said, he also knew that this "Black Dragon King" must be powerful.
The overlord of the sea is probably even more powerful than the pirate king Tuoba Qingtian back then.
No wonder gangsters like Leng Badao and the Chang brothers are so afraid of this "Black Dragon King".
But I heard Chai Lin say again: "Chai has heard about the assassination of Hall Master Sima in Nanquanzhuang. He is deeply saddened, but he doesn't know who did it?"
Hua Bushi said: "It is still unclear who actually committed the murder, but Liang Wude, a subordinate of the 'Black Dragon King', has admitted that Mr. Ma Da's death was done by the murderer on his orders."
Chai Lin glared and said: "It is indeed them! Among the subordinates of the 'Black Dragon King', there are nine most powerful pirate leaders, known as the 'Nine Dragon Sons'. These nine people all have numbers in their names.
Liang Wude must be one of them."
He sighed and said: "'Wanjin Hall' has always been a thorn in the side of the 'Black Dragon Palace'. Unexpectedly, Hall Master Sima could not escape their poisonous hands after all."
Hua Bushi didn't know anything about the grudge between Mr. Ma Da and the "Black Dragon Palace", and he didn't want to know. After hearing Chai Lin's words, he just kept silent and didn't answer.
After a while, he said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Chai, for clearing up my doubts. If there is nothing else, Hua Bushi would like to go back to the inn first, so I will take my leave."
The current situation is dangerous, so of course it would be safer to go to an inn.
Chai Lin said, "Master Hua, wait a moment, Chai Lin has something to say."
Hua Bushi looked at the good man Chai, but heard Chai Lin say: "Master Hua came all the way from Hunan to Nan'ao, but to attend the 'Wanyi Conference'?"
Hua Bushi replied: "Exactly."
Chai Lin nodded and said, "As expected. The ship for the conference will arrive at Nan'ao Port tomorrow. Chai wants Peng San to follow Master Hua and go to the 'Wanyi Conference' together. What does Master Hua want?"
Hua Bushi was slightly startled and did not answer for a moment.
Chai Lin said: "Young Master Hua, please don't misunderstand. Chai Lin did not do this with any malicious intent. According to the agreement with Hall Master Sima, since Young Master Hua is his friend, our Chai family has the responsibility to try our best to protect Young Master Hua's safety. Therefore, Chai Lin is
I have this proposal.”
Hua Bushi said: "Hua Bushi can accept the kindness of the Chai family leader, but the invitation to the 'Wanyi Conference' has stated that only five people can be brought to the meeting. Hua Bushi has a large entourage, so he cannot bring more."
One person, please forgive me, Master Chai!"
Although he didn't know what Chai Lin's intention was, Hua Bushi certainly didn't want to bring an outsider along with him for no reason. Moreover, Peng San's martial arts fluctuated and his methods were weird, which was really unpredictable. It was just that the other party had not been there just a moment ago.
Having saved the lives of their master and apprentice, now it was inconvenient to refuse them outright, so Hua Bushi had no choice but to use the invitation's limited number of people as an excuse.
Chai Lin seemed to have expected this excuse, and said: "Young Master Hua doesn't have to worry about this festival. Our Nan'ao Chai family has also received an invitation to the 'Wanyi Conference'. Chai Lin doesn't want to go, so I'll give it to Young Master Hua." .”
He smiled slightly and added: "Peng San is an outstanding person among the wise men of Chai Yuan. He will definitely be of great help to Master Hua during his trip."
Peng San, who was short in stature, had also come closer at this time. He cupped his hands to Hua Bushi and said, "Master Hua, I, Peng San, am a bit ugly, but I will definitely not cause you any trouble. Please give me some face, Master Hua." Just accept me and treat me like a servant!"
Hua Bushi frowned and said with a wry smile: "Peng Sanye is very powerful in martial arts. He used his 'Dragon Power' and even the brothers of the Chang family were defeated. How dare Hua Bushi treat Peng Sanye as a servant?"
Peng San smiled "hehe" and said: "I wonder why, it turns out that Master Hua thought that I was a member of the Black Dragon King and did not dare to take him in. Haha, to tell you the truth, my kung fu is indeed not bad, but what happened just now?" Shenlongjin' is all a bluffing trick."
He suddenly opened the front of his shirt and took out a dark, hard object about a foot in size. He said, "The two boys named Chang couldn't hurt me because of this piece of 'Spirit Turtle Armor'" , I was able to grab their weapons because I wore silver gloves, and the golden light on my palms was sprinkled with some phosphorus powder. Those two boys had bad eyesight, so they thought they were the 'Shenlong Jin'!"
As expected, a pair of light gray gloves fell off the palms of Peng San's words, and the hard object he called "Spirit Turtle Armor" was in an oval shape with blocky patterns carved on it. It seemed to be somewhat elastic. It is somewhat similar to a turtle shell.
When Hua Bushi saw this, he immediately understood the trick that Peng San had just played.
He first created a wall of fire to blind the Chang brothers, then used his "Spirit Turtle Armor" to receive a blow from the two of them, then grabbed the Chang brothers' swords with his silver-gloved hands, and sprinkled the palms with Phosphorus powder, counterfeiting the unique martial arts "Dragon Power" of the "Black Dragon King".
Armor that can catch swords and gloves that can hold sharp blades without getting hurt are certainly not ordinary things, but the most important thing is Peng San's superb skills and realistic acting skills, which can scare away the Chang brothers. Hua Bu Shi immediately remembered that during the martial arts competition in Chaiyuan earlier, Peng San had received a palm blow from Master Huang Lian, which was probably due to the "Spirit Turtle Armor" rather than any hard skills he had practiced in platoon fighting.
Frankly speaking, the eyes of the Chang family brothers are not bad. In this dark night, even Hua Bushi on the side could not see the tricks he was playing. It was natural for the Chang family brothers to be deceived.
Peng San smiled and said: "How about it, Master Hua, I have told you everything, just accept Peng San!"
Chai Lin on the side said: "This Peng San in my Chai Garden is good at playing tricks, and it is even rarer to be proficient in the art of sailing. The 'Wanyi Conference' is said to be held on the far sea, and it will definitely be a grand event with him accompanying him." If it is useful, why should Mr. Hua refuse?"
Hua Bushi thought for a moment and finally nodded, saying: "Okay, that being the case, I will thank Master Chai. Hua Bushi also asked Mr. Peng to take care of me along the way."
Peng San said happily: "It's easy to talk about. Although I, Peng San, have never read a book, I am the best at taking care of people. Let's go to that big conference with Master Hua to meet the world."
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※Nanao Harbor is at the southern end of the town. It is a bay sunken into the land. This is a naturally formed bay.
The coastal terrain is very conducive to the berthing of ships.
Even on stormy days, the huge waves in the outer sea can hardly reach the harbor. What's more, today is a calm and good weather. Looking out from Nan'ao Harbor at this time, the entire bay is like a big mirror.
It reflects the blue sky and white clouds, and the water and sky in the distance are of the same color, which looks particularly harmonious and beautiful.
Young Master Hua stood in front of the dock on the coast, looking into the distance with his hands behind his back, and sighed loudly: "The heaven and the earth are like wheels, and the sea is like a mirror. Such beautiful scenery in such a good time really makes people feel relaxed and happy!"
There are seven or eight sailing ships parked on the pier, and dozens of boatmen and workers are loading and unloading goods from the ships. The place where Hua Bushi is standing is exactly where the goods must be transported. The coolie workers passing by are all carrying heavy loads.
They were all tired and sweating, but when they saw this young master idle and sighing randomly while dropping his book bag on the roadside, they all cursed in their hearts, wishing they could pull this young master aside and beat him up, then kick him.
To the sea.
Of course, this kind of idea can only be thought about in their hearts, and no one dares to seriously step forward and take action.
Hua Bushi has become a notorious figure in Nan'ao town, and no one dares to provoke him. Moreover, behind him, Zhu Hong stands upright like an iron tower, and there are four gang members of the "Evil Dog Sect", each of whom
He is carrying a sword, and at first glance he is not a kind person.
Meng Huan, dressed in servant attire, was also standing aside, and Peng San, who was short in stature and ugly in appearance, was the least noticeable one.
Beside this eldest young master, except for Bai Yiling, a cute and clever little maid, Chu Yiyi, who is enchanting, and the sea red pearls are bright and moving, they are all beauties like flowers and jade.
The world is not ancient, God has no eyes, flowers are always stuck on cow dung, and cabbages are all eaten by pigs. Boatmen, sailors, and other people passing by on the pier all have this feeling in their hearts when they see this scene
Overview.
According to Hua Bushi's original plan, he planned to take Chu Yiyi, Meng Huan, Zhu Hong, and Master Huang Lian, who had an agreement with both parties, to the "Wanyi Conference". It happened to be the five people limited by the invitation, and Bai Yiling,
Hai Hongzhu and several gangsters from the "Evil Dog Sect" temporarily stayed in the town.
However, Chai Dashan asked Hua Bushi to take Peng San with him, and sent an invitation to bring five more people. Hai Hongzhu and Bai Yiling could go together without having to stay here.
Last night, after Hua Bushi and Bai Yiling escaped back to the inn, they immediately informed the disciples of various sects staying at the inn about the attack on the "Seven Star Temple" in the north of the city. As soon as these disciples heard that something happened to the leader, they immediately hurriedly
Rush to the "Seven Stars Temple" for rescue.
By the time they arrived at the "Seven Stars Temple", it was already late at night. Leng Badao, Liang Wude and many gangsters had already left, leaving only an empty temple. They found the bodies of Wu Zhengdao and Yuan Gongyi on the mountain behind the temple.
And Master Huang Lian fell in the woods.
The nunnery master of "Jingci Lin Nunnery" was slashed by Leng Lianshan and stabbed by Liang Wude. Although his injuries were extremely serious, he did not die. He was really lucky.
