However, Hua Bushi had an angry look on his face and a stern look on his face. He had turned into that arrogant and vicious young master, showing his teeth and claws and showing no signs of being gentle at all.
The young master's quickness in turning against him is truly unparalleled.
Cao Muyun's expression did not change at all, but his tone was a little colder, and he said: "Those who want to achieve great things cannot stick to small details. Muyun has just said that there are big and small moral principles. In order to pursue the great road, sometimes we have to Abandon small righteousness.”
Hua Bushi said: "What are the big and small righteousnesses? How can you alone decide the principles of this world? You think that the government is the biggest, and you can do anything to make money for the court, but I, the young master, will not sell your account! Today* *I want to get 'Panlong Jue', but it's not that easy!"
Cao Muyun said: "Now that things have come to this point, why should Brother Hua continue to fight against trapped beasts? It would be better to hand over the jade pendant."
Xue Yuan's right hand had already grasped the handle of the "Shen Hong Sword" tightly, and he was approaching Hua Bushi step by step. It seemed that if the young master did not hand over the "Panlong Jue", he was planning to take action immediately. Robbed it.
Hua Bushi glared and shouted: "Zhu Hong, as long as the people on this boat dare to touch a hair of my young master, you will throw the jade pendant into the sea. If anyone wants to snatch it by force, throw it away. Do you hear me?"
When Cao Muyun heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he immediately turned around to look for Zhu Hong. However, he saw the young man with a square face and big ears standing next to the side of the ship, with his right arm stretched out of the ship, holding something in his hand. It is a palm-sized piece of light yellow jade!
Zhu Hong had not followed Hua Bushi into the cabin before, as Hua Bushi had already given instructions. However, Cao Muyun did not expect that Hua Bushi did not take "Panlong Jue" with him, but handed him over to him. Gave it to his apprentice.
Zhu Hong was heard to respond loudly: "Zhu Hong understands!"
If "Panlong Jue" is on Hua Bushi, Cao Muyun and Xue Yuan want to snatch it, but they can easily capture it. Surrounded by two masters, the young master who does not know martial arts even throws the jade pendant away. There is no chance. But now that "Panlong Jue" is in Zhu Hong's hands, the situation is different. It will not be so easy to snatch it.
Zhu Hong's martial arts was not weak in the first place. At this time, he stretched out the hand holding the jade pei out of the ship. If he saw the wrong opportunity, he could immediately throw it into the sea. After Hua Bushi and others boarded the "Qing Chi" We have already pulled anchor and set sail. We are now several miles away from "Wanyi Island", and we are already in the deep sea. And when the storm is approaching, the waves outside the ship are rough, and a small jade pendant is thrown into it. It fell into the sea with no hope of being salvaged again.
Cao Muyun had previously invited Hua Bushi into the cabin for a drink, with the intention of trapping him in order to snatch the jade, but he did not expect that Hua Bushi had anticipated this and made such an arrangement.
After all, this "Mr. Muyun" was a man who was good at maneuvering. He immediately winked at Xue Yuan, and Xue Yuan stopped pressing towards Hua Bushi, but he still held the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand and did not let go.
Cao Muyun looked into Hua Bushi's eyes and asked, "I wonder how Brother Hua is willing to hand over Yujue to his younger brother?"
Although the two sides were in a stalemate for a while, the current situation was still extremely unfavorable for Hua Bushi. If the jade pendant was thrown into the sea, the master and the apprentice would definitely die, and even if the "Panlong Jue" was handed over to Cao Muyun , how easy is it to exchange for life?
After all, verbal promises have no binding effect on Cao Muyun at all. Even if this "Master Muyun" promises not to kill Hua Bushi, after getting Yujue, I'm afraid he will still kill people and silence him. He had made it clear before that he would not care about "little faith" for the sake of the so-called "great benevolence and righteousness".
After a while, Hua Bushi said: "Where is my young master's wife now? Is she on this boat?"
Cao Muyun said: "My lady is on the 'Qing Chi', does Brother Hua want to exchange Yujue for her?"
Hua Bushi said: "Bring her out and let me see her before we talk!"
Cao Muyun said: "Okay."
He turned to a servant standing next to him and said, "Go and bring Mrs. Hua up."
The servant took the order and left. Cao Muyun looked at Hua Bushi and said: "We have already made careful arrangements for today's matter. Those members of the Jianghu sect on 'Wanyi Island' are just wishful thinking to escape by treasure boat. You will definitely die in the belly of the fish, so I advise Brother Hua not to think about going back to the island again, let alone expect them to come to rescue you."
Hua Bushi curled his lips and said, "I would also like to advise Mr. Cao, don't be too confident in everything!"
But at this moment, a cold voice came, "Mr. Cao is not confident, but trusts me, Mr. Lu! There are eight gunboats led by the three great ministers of my 'Wanyi Sect' to surround the island, and only one of them is old and dilapidated. The treasure ship, if it can still be allowed to break out, it will really be a ghost!"
I saw the inner hatch opened, and a middle-aged man with three long beards and a blue cloth Confucian shirt came out. It was Lu Qiuhong, the owner of "Wanyi Island". There were three people behind Lu Qiuhong, but There were two Wanyi Sect disciples holding a woman, and that woman was none other than Hai Hongzhu.
Hua Bushi could tell at a glance that Hai Hongzhu had his acupuncture points tapped, so his whole body was so weak that he couldn't move. Two disciples had to hold his arms to stand up. Hai Hongzhu's hair was messy, and his face was stained. Tears, obviously being hijacked on this ship, also suffered a lot of grievances.
Hua Bushi couldn't help but show anger on his face, stared at Cao Muyun and shouted: "Untie my wife's acupuncture points and let her come over!"
Cao Muyun was about to give the order when Lu Qiuhong suddenly said: "Wait a minute!"
Cao Muyun said: "Does Master Lu have anything to say?"
Lu Qiuhong said: "Does Mr. Cao want to get the 'Panlong Jue'? I see that Master Hua and his wife have such a good relationship that they are willing to risk their lives to save her. We just need to use some means against Mrs. Hai." , Master Hua will definitely send the jade pendant over obediently."
He came to Hai Hongzhu in one step, stared at her pretty face, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hua, you'd better persuade Master Hua to hand over the jade pendant quickly, otherwise you, a womanly person, will eat it It’s hard to make up for the loss!”
On the surface, the mainland island master looked sanctimonious and somewhat dashing, but at this moment he had a sinister smile on his face and turned to wink at a tall "Wanyi Sect" disciple standing nearby. That disciple He walked forward, stretched out his big hand, and tried to grab Hai Hongzhu's chest.
Hai Hongzhu had never experienced such a scene before. She was so frightened that her face changed color and her body shrank back, but she couldn't say a word.
Hua Bushi shouted sternly: "Stop! Cao Muyun, if you let others touch my wife, you will never get 'Panlong Jue' again today!"
Cao Muyun also frowned and said, "Island Master Lu, please don't be rude to Mrs. Hua."
Lu Qiuhong looked quite disapproving, but he still waved his hand to make the Wanyi disciple retreat, and said: "Now that Mrs. Hua is in our hands, I don't believe that Young Master Hua dares to throw that jade pendant into the ground."
Dahai, why should Mr. Cao be held hostage by him?"
Cao Muyun said: "Master Lu, there is no need to be impatient. We have already taken control of the situation anyway. As long as we get Yujue, we will spare their lives, so there is no harm."
Cao Muyun's words were very clever. No matter whether he was determined to kill someone or not, once Hua Bushi thought that there was no possibility of escape, it would only be death anyway. There was no guarantee that he would not make up his mind and ask Zhu Hong to kill "Panlong".
"Jue" was thrown into the sea. Cao Muyun's words seemed to be spoken to Lu Qiuhong. In fact, they were meant to be heard by Hua Bushi. They were also a method of attacking the mind. To retreat in order to advance, one must let the other party have hope.
Only then can you take action according to the opportunity.
Hua Bushi stared at her eyes and shouted: "No need to talk nonsense, quickly remove my wife's acupuncture points and let her come over!"
With this eldest young master's scheming, he didn't know what Cao Muyun was planning, but his mind was racing, and he didn't think of any feasible way to get out of trouble. He could only take one step at a time, and let Hai Hongzhu escape from the opponent first.
Let’s talk about the mastery.
Cao Muyun hesitated for a moment and then ordered: "Master Lu, ask your disciples to let Madam Hua go."
In Cao Muyun's view, Hai Hongzhu's martial arts skills were low and not worth mentioning. However, Hua Bushi and others were all trapped on the boat and could not escape at all. It made no difference whether Hai Hongzhu was released or not. Let her arrive.
Going to Hua Bushi's side would only make Hua Bushi feel fettered, and he would not dare to fight to the death at will.
The apparent compromise can convince Hua Bushi that he is not determined to kill anyone.
Cao Muyun and Hua Bushi are both extremely scheming people. At this time, both sides are looking for opportunities. One is trying to seize the jade pendant, while the other is trying to escape. The two of them are sitting and standing in the cabin.
, there is only a table between them, it is like a confrontation between top masters, except that the battle is not about martial arts, but about scheming.
Outside the cabin, the wind was howling, the rain was pouring, the sea was roaring, and the big storm was finally coming!
Lu Qiuhong moved like the wind, patted Hai Hongzhu's shoulders and back a few times, and released her acupuncture points, and ordered: "Let her go."
The two "Wanyi Sect" disciples released their arms and immediately let go of Hai Hongzhu.
Hua Bushi said: "Hongzhu, get out of the cabin and go to Zhu Hong."
At this time, the cabin was surrounded by enemies. Hua Bushi could not protect herself, so she was unable to protect Hai Hongzhu. She was safer only if she was with Zhu Hong.
Seeing Hai Hongzhu walk out of the hatch, Cao Muyun looked at Hua Bushi and said, "I have released Miss Hai as I was told. Can Brother Hua hand over Yu Jue?"
Hua Bushi said: "I can give you the jade, but you have to find a way to ensure the safety of the three of us. Otherwise, if the jade is in your hands, we will be dead. How can I do this?"
That kind of stupid thing?"
Cao Muyun said: "Muyun promised that after getting the jade, he would not hurt you and would send you back to the mainland. But if Brother Hua can't trust my younger brother, Muyun can't think of anything."
