The imperial court's intervention in the dispute between Jianghu sects was not unprecedented in the Ming Dynasty. The "Wudang Sect" could become the leader of Taoism in the world thanks to the support of the government. If Cao Muyun agreed to use the power of the government to help the "Kongtong Sect" dominate the world , let alone Weng Yibai, even the head of the "Kongtong Sect" will definitely be moved.
Hua Bushi added: "Although Miss Ruoying loves him madly, it's a pity that he may not really like you. Otherwise, how could you let you come here alone and take the risk, while he stayed on the ship?"
Yi Ruoying shouted: "Shut up! What do you know? He was wounded by the sword because of me. I have to come on his behalf. He must really like Ruoying..."
Hua Bushi said: "The injury he suffered in Tingtao Pavilion was just a pretense of being stabbed by a sword. It was just to cover up people's eyes and avoid the suspicion of murder later. It was not serious at all. Last night at Nanshiya The fact that Shang was able to kill Yu Jun is proof. Miss Ruoying has always been by his side, how could she not know?"
Yi Ruoying bit her lip but said nothing.
Hua Bushi said: "Miss Ruoying, have you ever thought that you have betrayed the moral integrity of the world and even betrayed the sect for him? But apart from making some empty promises, what else can he really give you? He is just because he has a reason to kill someone. In your hands, I cannot refuse. I brought you to this island, but in fact it was an act of resignation and I have no affection for the girl at all."
Yi Ruoying still didn't speak, but her eyes were red and tears welled up.
Cao Muyun has a father, Cao Huayu, who is in charge of the army and horses in the capital, and an uncle, Cao Huachun, who is the governor of the East Factory. The Cao family is full of power and is a prominent family in the imperial city of Kyoto. Cao Muyun himself He is the adopted son of the current Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youjian. He is indeed an extremely noble son of ten thousand gold. But Yi Ruoying is only the second generation disciple of a Jianghu sect in Guangdong. No matter how you look at it, she is the same as Cao Mu. Yundu and Yundu are so different that they can't even be considered a match.
There is such a huge disparity in status between the two people that there is no way they can compete with each other. Even if Cao Muyun is extremely well-educated and does not show off his behavior or speech, Yi Ruoying will definitely have this consciousness.
Hua Bushi had excellent eloquence and knew how to attack people's hearts. At this critical moment, he deliberately used words to drive a wedge between the two, hoping to get the news about Hai Hongzhu out of Yi Ruoying's mouth.
But seeing Yi Ruoying cry so easily made the young master a little surprised. He knew that Yi Ruoying's sad crying must not only be because of the provocative words he said, but because of her treatment of her. Cao Muyun had already realized this, and that's why he acted like this.
A well-thought-out woman like Yi Ruoying must have a sense of whether the person she loves really loves her, and this subconscious intuition is more effective than other people's words to tease her out.
It was precisely because of this that Hua Bushi stopped talking. When they were in Luyuan Grand Canyon, Yi Ruoying had saved Bai Yiling's life. Hua Bushi originally had a good impression of this purple-clothed chivalrous woman, but at this time he was not ready to speak out. I feel a little unbearable to hurt her.
The eldest young master was silent for a moment and then said: "Miss Ruoying was born in Buddhism and has a compassionate heart, which I also know. When we were in the ancient ancestral hall, Miss Ruoying also argued for Hua Bushi and almost did not hesitate to fight Yuan Gongyi. Mrs. Yiyi When I mentioned it, I didn't quite believe it, but now I think about it, it must be because the girl knew that Hong Zhu was innocent and was wrongly accused, so she defended herself like this."
Hua Bushi paused for a moment and then said: "Master Cao colluded with Lu Qiuhong this time and used the name of the 'Wanyi Conference' to assassinate fellow sects. In order to seek wealth, he completely ignored the morality of the world. If Miss Ying helps him like this, Aren’t you helping Zhou to do evil?”
But Yi Ruoying shook her head and said: "I don't care about the morality of the world! As long as he likes it and asks me to do anything, Ruoying will be willing to do it!"
Hua Bushi said: "My wife Hai Hongzhu has nothing to do with this matter. Now I just want to save her life. Can't Miss Ruoying help me?"
Yi Ruoying said: "I don't care! No matter what you say, I will never betray Mr. Muyun!"
Hua Bushi stared at Yi Ruoying, as if he couldn't believe that this woman, who was originally quite chivalrous, would become so unreasonable because of the almost blind love between her and Cao Muyun.
After a while, he said: "Okay, since you are helping him like this, you must know that what he wants most is this 'Panlong Jue'. You take me to see him, and I will use this jade pendant to exchange for red beads." !”
He turned around and ordered: "Zhu Hong, remove Miss Ruoying's acupuncture points!"
It is unwise to talk about the morality of the world to a woman who is deeply in love. Hua Bushi also knows that everyone has their own obsessions, and these obsessions sometimes become shackles that cannot be shaken off at all. He wanted to convince Yi Ruoying to help, but it was just as difficult as someone trying to convince him not to save Hai Hongzhu. It was simply impossible.
If that's the case, why waste any effort?
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※The hurricane is coming.
When the boat exited the cave under the cliff and headed towards the sea, the water level had risen a lot, almost submerging the entire pier. The waves on the sea were already as high as a person, and they kept beating against the rocks along the coast. Make a huge roar.
There are many rocks along the coast under the Nanshi Cliff. It is dark at this time, and the waves are rough in the storm. It is not easy for a boat to pass safely.
Neither Hua Bushi nor Zhu Hong was good at driving a boat. The previous boatman had been knocked unconscious by Zhu Hong. Among the three, only Yi Ruoying knew how to row and steer the boat. "Jingci Lin Nunnery" is located in Leizhou, Guangdong. This is a coastal area, and Yi Ruoying has been at the seaside for a long time, so she is proficient in this.
And only Yi Ruoying knows the waterways that pass through these reef zones.
The boat sailed in front of Lang Peak, and it didn't take long before it passed through the reefs near the coast. A light of fire appeared on the sea in the distance. Yi Ruoying rowed the boat in the direction of the fire with all her strength.
As the boat moved forward, the light of the fire gradually became clear, and the shadow of a sailboat also appeared in the sea. It must be the "Qing Chi" that Yi Ruoying mentioned before. .
"Qing Chi" is a six-masted sailing ship, and the light is the wind lantern hanging on the top of the sailing ship's mast.
Different from the white hull of the "White Oriole" that Hua Bushi and others took previously, the "Qingchi" was dark brown in color, making it even more difficult to spot on the already very dark sea, until the boat sailed close to You can see it everywhere.
In terms of size, although the "Qing Chi" cannot be compared with the huge treasure ship on the island, it is similar to the "White Oriole". However, on the rough ocean, no matter how big the sailboat is, it will appear... Insignificant, the "Qing Chi" floated up and down with the waves, like a fallen leaf floating up and down in the face of the coming hurricane and tsunami.
Seeing the boat approaching, there was a shout from the "Qing Chi", and then a rope ladder hung down from the side of the ship. After a while, Yi Ruoying, Hua Bushi and Zhu Hong arrived on the deck of the big ship.
.
When Hua Bushi climbed up to the last rung of the rope ladder and stepped onto the deck of the "Qing Chi", he immediately saw Cao Muyun and Xue Yuan.
This "Mr. Muyun" was standing in front of the cabin on the deck. Even in the wind and rain, his sapphire blue gown was not messed up. His movements were still so graceful, and the charming smile on his face was still the same.
It is like a spring breeze.
And his attitude was also kind and cordial. He clasped his fists and said, "Although I have already determined that Brother Hua will follow Miss Ruoying, the storm is approaching and the sea is rough, which still makes Mu Yun a little worried. Now Brother
What a joy to have arrived just in time!”
What he said was like a hospitable host welcoming a friend who came to his home despite the wind and rain, and not at all like a kidnapper treating a financial owner who was threatened and extorted.
Hua Bushi also returned the courtesy and said: "Brother Cao, if you want to invite Hua Bushi to come, you only need to inform him. There is no need to go through all the trouble and waste of energy."
Cao Muyun smiled and said: "Brother Hua's intelligence is unparalleled in the world. If you can invite me to come, no matter how much effort it takes, Muyun thinks it's worth it."
Hua Bushi said: "Brother Cao, thank you very much."
He then raised his hands to Xue Yuan who was standing aside and said, "General Xue has always been a good person."
Different from the "cordiality" shown by Cao Muyun, Xue Yuan stood behind him with a solemn expression, completely ignoring Hua Bushi's greeting. The "Chen Hong" sword was hanging on his
At his waist, his palm was pressed on the handle of the sword, and a trace of killing intent was flowing out of the sword.
Knives are dead objects, even the "Shen Hong" sword is the same. It will not kill people by itself. Only people can kill people. If a martial arts master like Xue Yuan has the intention to kill, the murderous intention will be unconscious.
The earth emanates from the body and condenses on the weapon. The killing intent on the "Shen Hong" sword actually comes from Xue Yuan.
Although Hua Bushi did not know martial arts, his senses and perceptions were extremely sharp, and he immediately sensed this murderous intention.
And who is Commander Xue Datong, the commander of Jin Yiwei Beitang, who wants to kill? Could it be this Young Master of Hua Da?
As soon as Yi Ruoying got on the deck, she walked silently to Cao Muyun's side. She lowered her face, as if she didn't dare to look at Cao Muyun or Hua Bushi.
Zhu Hong stood next to Hua Bushi, staring with a pair of big eyes, clenching a pair of fists, showing no fear, and was ready to fight at any time to protect the young master.
But this is by no means a good time for a fight, and Hua Bushi knows it very well. Although Zhu Hong is brave, it is not easy to defeat Xue Yuan. Cao Muyun can kill Yu Jun, and his martial arts must be better than Xue Yuan
Stronger, not to mention that Hai Hongzhu is still in the opponent's hands, the situation is really unfavorable.
Cao Muyun seemed to have no intention of taking action. He laughed and said: "Such hurricanes and tsunamis are rare sights in the world. I have prepared some fine wine in the cabin. Please drink with me, brother Hua."
