Shu Yu said: "What Mr. Chai said is true. Mr. Hua came to Nan'ao Town that day. If it wasn't in accordance with the agreement of Hall Master Sima, how could we help him? Lan'er, it is certain that your father awarded this Jue to Mr. Hua.
.”
She turned to look at Lu Qiuhong, with an angry look on her jade face, and said: "Lu Qiuhong, Hall Master Sima has always treated you like a brother. In order for you to cultivate the 'Jue String Palm', he did not hesitate to take risks and dive into the deep sea.
I helped you excavate the 'Red Flower Rock', but I didn't expect you to retaliate and injure Hall Master Sima with your poisonous palm. You are really worse than a pig or a dog!"
Shu Yu was originally a graceful and elegant beauty, but when she said these words, her eyes widened and almost burst into flames. She was obviously very angry.
Lu Qiuhong's slender face was still calm and composed. He snorted coldly and said: "You said that I injured Brother Sima. Have you ever seen it with your own eyes? What evidence is there? Lu always acts morally.
First of all, it is unreasonable for you, a woman, to slander someone based only on hearsay!"
Chai Lin said: "You are such a person who puts morality first! Mr. Lu, now all the major sects in the world are offering huge rewards to pursue you, it is because you are too moral! Brother Sima was hit by the 'Jue Xin Poison Palm' and his martial arts skills were completely wiped out.
Not only did Mr. Hua have a diagnosis, but also everyone from the 'Four Great Sects in Guangdong' can testify, how can you deny it?"
Lu Qiuhong looked up to the sky and laughed "haha" and said: "Hua Bushi and Cao Muyun conspired to assassinate Brother Sima. He is a murderer himself. Wouldn't it be a joke to ask him to testify? As for the people from the 'four major sects in Guangdong' you mentioned, now they are also
I don’t know where they are, but if you have the ability, you can find them all in Okura City and confront Mr. Lu to testify, otherwise, stop spreading baseless rumors and slanders!"
The head of the "Wanyi Sect" is not only sanctimonious, but also very good at speaking. He has a deep sense of sophistry. Although Chai Lin and Shu Yu were full of anger and were stunned by his words, they were all in awe.
There is no way.
Even though Sima Rulan was more willing to believe Chai Lin and Shu Yu, since there was no concrete evidence, there was nothing she could do about Lu Qiuhong, and she was at a loss as to what to do.
Xiong Bailing said solemnly: "Mr. Lu is the sworn brother of City Lord Sima. Without real evidence, we are not allowed to spread rumors and slander him! Our top priority today is to deal with the murderer of the City Lord. First, Hua Bushi and Cao Mu will be killed."
Yun**, I’ll catch you first!"
Although the arrival of Chai Lin and Shu Yu caused some twists and turns, it did not exceed Xiong Bailing's expectations.
According to his plan, Lu Qiuhong was first brought in to testify in order to remove the obstacle of Hua Bushi, leaving Sima Rulan alone and unable to fight against him. Then the scandals about Sima Rulan and Hua Bushi continued.
It can be used to claim that the eldest lady was young and ignorant, and was seduced by the traitor who murdered the city lord, so that she turned her enemy into a relative. In this way, she would no longer be able to gain the trust of many disciples in the "Wanjin Hall".
As long as Sima Rulan is forced into an isolated and helpless situation, whether by force or coercion, she will have to agree to marry Xiong Tiannan, and Okura City will be within easy reach and in the hands of the Xiong family.
This is the power of "strategy". Using factors from all parties to one's own advantage is much stronger than a brave man who only knows how to fight with martial arts. In this regard, Xiong Bailing, who is wily and scheming, is by no means under twenty.
The age-old Sima Rulan is comparable.
This plan was actually quite perfect, with almost no loopholes. Even if Chai Lin could find evidence that Lu Qiuhong injured Sima City Lord in a few months, it would not be able to change the overall situation. Okura City had already changed hands by that time. Besides, it wouldn't be a bad idea to take the opportunity to get rid of Lu Qiuhong when the time comes. In Xiong Bailing's view, this guy named Lu is not a good bird. As long as there is no use value, it is better to eliminate these villains as soon as possible.
He, Xiong Bailing, would not make the same mistake as Sima Zhufeng!
Until now, everything has been going smoothly and was within Xiong Bailing's expectation. However, perhaps there is one thing that he has not considered very carefully, that is, his opponent is not only the inexperienced Sima Rulan, but also the inexperienced Sima Rulan. There are flowers but not stones.
And when it comes to "strategy", this is what this young master of Huada is best at. His scheming is deep and his determination is not inferior to Xiong Bailing. When Xiong Bailing invited Lu Qiuhong out and identified him as the murderer of Sima City Lord, Hua Bushi He already understood the plan of the deputy head of the "Wanjin Hall", and also knew that he had to find a loophole in the opponent's plan in order to turn defeat into victory.
From just now, Hua Bushi has been observing carefully, and he has already seen two things: first, Lu Qiuhong is a pawn used by Xiong Bailing to deal with Sima Rulan, although he has already been ruined in the Middle-earth continent and has become a target of public criticism. But it is difficult to prove this matter at the moment. Secondly, the bosses of the various shops in Wangxi Building were only driven by interests and were drawn into the alliance by Xiong Bailing. Their positions are still wavering. If Xiong Bailing wants to truly control Okura City, he must get the support of the merchants in these cities and most of the "Wanjintang" gang members.
Perhaps this is an opportunity that can be exploited to defeat the opponent's conspiracy, which is the loophole in Xiong Bailing's plan!
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in the young master's mind. His eyes lit up and a look of enlightenment appeared on his face, and he said: "Miss Lan'er, Cai Bushi just said that you have ordered I will certainly not resist and be captured without any resistance, but before that, I still have something unclear and I would like to ask Mr. Xiong and Island Master Lu for a few words. Can Miss Laner allow me to ask?"
Sima Rulan thought for a while and said, "Okay, you can ask as much as you like."
Hua Bushi then turned his attention to Xiong Bailing and said, "Deputy Hall Master Xiong, I would like to ask you where did you hear that Hall Master Sima was assassinated, and that the assassin was Mr. Mu Yun?"
Xiong Bailing said: "Mr. Lu told me about this matter."
Hua Bushi said: "Then how did Deputy Hall Master Xiong find Master Lu?"
Xiong Bailing said: "Mr. Lu took a boat to Okura Island by himself the day before yesterday. Xiong did not look for him."
Hua Bushi suddenly smiled and said: "Deputy Hall Master Xiong, you have worked hard to make a plan to control Okura City, but you never thought that you would be used by others. Even if your plan succeeds, your My son married Miss Lan'er, but in the end it was just a waste of time, and this city will still fall into the hands of others!"
Xiong Bailing said: "Shut up! Everything I do is only for the sake of this city and Wanjintang. How can I allow you to slander me!"
Lu Qiuhong on the side said: "Hall Master Xiong, this person named Hua is extremely cunning and cunning. It is better to catch him and execute him immediately to prevent him from spreading rumors and sowing discord."
Hua Bushi glared and said, "Lu Qiuhong, this young master just asked a few questions, but you are so scared. Could it be that there is something evil in your heart?"
Without waiting for Lu Qiuhong's answer, he turned to Xiong Bailing and said: "Deputy Hall Master Xiong, what you said earlier was that the imperial navy was coming to conquer Okura City. Mr. Cao and I were undercover agents. It was all a lie. They really wanted to attack Okura City.
The ones from Okura City are the Dragon Palace members of the 'Black Dragon Palace' pirate group, and the real guest is none other than Lu Qiuhong!"
After saying these words, many businessmen in the hall changed their expressions.
Lu Qiuhong shouted: "Nonsense! Lu came to Okura Island because he came to report the death of Brother Sima. What does it have to do with the 'Black Dragon Palace'!"
Hua Bushi stared at his face and said: "On Wanyi Island, you failed to murder the masters of various sects. Now you are hunted down by dozens of sects in the Central Plains. I'm surprised that you didn't try to hide your whereabouts, but you still did it."
You dare to openly come to Okura Island, it turns out you have a new backer! That day on the "Qing Chi" you were shot down into the ocean, and none of your gang members came to save you. You must have been killed by the giant shark ship.
The members of the Dragon Palace rescued him, and then he took refuge in the Black Dragon Palace, right?"
Lu Qiuhong said: "You are talking nonsense, who will believe it!"
Hua Bushi said: "You have always been accustomed to betrayal. The so-called morality is worthless in your eyes! You have betrayed Sima City Lord, Mr. Cao and many others. You have done so many bad things that you cannot be trusted by the 'Black Dragon Palace' this time."
.Although the Black Dragon King asked you to come to Okura City as an undercover agent, he also sent another expert to accompany you to monitor him. That seventh master is the one who came with you, am I right?"
When Hua Bushi said that Lu Qiuhong was a guest, Xiong Bailing had not reacted at all, but now when he mentioned "Seventh Master", the deputy hall master Xiong was shocked. Of course he knew very well that this "Seventh Master"
It was Lu Qiuhong who came to Okura City together. According to Lu Qiuhong, he was a friend he had made recently. Just because this person was very skilled in martial arts, Xiong Bailing also wanted to recruit him, but he did not expect that he would be a "black man".
Characters from "Dragon Palace".
Lu Qiuhong shouted: "Don't talk nonsense! Hall Master Xiong, please quickly send an order to arrest this traitor, so that he will not confuse the public with his evil words again!"
Before Xiong Bailing could answer, Sima Rulan said, "Lan'er just said that Mr. Hua is allowed to ask some questions, and no one is allowed to be rude to him before Mr. Hua finishes speaking."
Although most of the people in the hall above Wangxi Tower are from Xiongjiazhuang, Sima Rulan is the eldest lady of "Wanjintang" after all. If she goes against her order and forcibly arrests Hua Bushi, it will be a shameless and blatant act.
The emperor has rebelled against the sect, and Xiong Bailing has not yet achieved his goal, so he would not dare to do so easily unless absolutely necessary.
At this time, Hua Bushi's eyes were fixed on the face of the "Seventh Master" and he said: "The martial arts you used on the stairs of RT-Mart must have been the Black Dragon King's unique skill, Shenlong Jin.
', you are one of the 'Nine Dragons', am I right?"
According to the legend, the "Nine Dragon Sons" among the Dragon Palace tribe are the nine disciples of the Black Dragon King. They are all demon-like figures who kill many people and have superb martial arts. Each of their names has numbers from one to nine.
The ranking figures. On that day, in the Forest of Steles in Qixingguan, Nan'ao Town, Liang Wude, who appeared to compete for the "Panlong Jue", was one of the "Nine Dragons".
