Chapter five hundred and seventh singled out the whole city
Sometimes love can indeed make people tireless and feel extremely happy and satisfied, but for Hua Bushi, love is not the top priority, and he cannot always linger in the gentle land.
Early the next morning, Hua Bushi came to the small courtyard where Zhu Hong practiced, awarded him the "Crane Wheel Sword" created by Hua Dihu, and ordered Zhu Hong to recruit a hundred people in Okura City. Let young people with acceptable martial arts qualifications practice this sword technique.
The pirates of the "Black Dragon Palace" not only have many masters, but also have thousands of minions. Although the dragon-slaying ship is very important in sea battles, once they attack the Black Dragon Island, the two sides will still have to fight hand-to-hand. Fight with each other.
There are currently a group of disciples of Xiong Bailing's "Dazhu tribe" and "Wanjintang" in Okang City. Both in terms of strength and number, they are far inferior to the Longgong tribe. Although Cao Muyun can mobilize the Guangdong navy A large number of troops participated in the battle, but the combat power of ordinary officers and soldiers was limited after all, and it was still difficult to defeat the fierce pirates if they really wanted to fight.
Now Qingyun Wei, the strongest war department in the "Evil Dog Gate", is far away in Changsha City. If we can train another elite team with strength, what will happen to the current battle with the "Black Dragon Palace" and the "Evil Dog Gate" in the future? The development of the sword is of great benefit. And since he obtained the sword manual of "Hexing Wheel Sword", Hua Bushi has been eager to try this sword technique and formation created by his second uncle. How powerful can the law be?
After Zhu Hong took the order and left, Hua Bushi wrote three more letters and sent people to three trading houses in the city. The purpose of these three letters was the same, which was to borrow the dog.
The decisive battle of the dog king in the "Purple Sky Conference" will be held in a month. Within these thirty days, training the princess into a fighting dog that can defeat the Gialuo Li seems to be an impossible task, but it is Hua Hua's. The goal that Fu Shi must achieve.
Hua Bushi has already made a training plan for the princess. In this plan, there must be four powerful fighting dogs to assist. Now there is only one Baoliang in the barking building, and the other three are, this one. The eldest young master had no choice but to borrow a fighting dog. It was not easy for others to borrow a fighting dog, but it was not difficult for Hua Bushi to send someone to his door to borrow a dog, simply because all three businesses were regular customers of Baitianlou.
Not long after, the three fighting dogs had been transported to the Weitian Tower in a large truck. They were Huya from "Yitongxing", Fatty from "Guangyuanzhai" and Da Meng from "Feiya Shiphang". As soon as the three dogs arrived, , he was immediately carried into the back garden, and the courtyard door was closed with a bang.
Hua Bushi had already arrived in the back garden of Baitian Tower and ordered people to carry out the big white dog Princess from the dog house. The princess in the wooden cage looked at Hua Bushi with a weird smile in front of her, and her big round eyes revealed a smile. The fearful light.
During the period when the ships of the "Black Dragon Palace" besieged the island, all the residents of Okura City were on tenterhooks, fearing that the city would be breached by pirates. However, the princess lived a good life comfortably for more than a month, eating and sleeping every day. , there is no need to train hard. But now from Hua Bushi's malicious eyes, the big white dog has a premonition that these good days have come to an end, and what awaits it will definitely be more painful torture than before.
This time, Hua Bushi ordered that no outsiders were allowed to watch the dog training. The gate of the garden behind the barking sky building was tightly closed, and there were disciples of the "Evil Dog Gate" guarding the entrance and the courtyard wall. In addition to those who helped with the dog training, Bai Yiling, Hai Hongzhu, and even the clerks from Waitian Tower were not allowed to approach the courtyard gate, let alone enter the courtyard to investigate.
It seems that the eldest young master has made up his mind to keep it a secret and never let his opponents know the details of his training of the princess. He is preparing to give Gongola another surprise at the Battle of the Dog King a month later.
From then on, Hua Bushi went into the back garden almost every day when the sun rose, and did not come out until dark. Outside, he could only vaguely hear the barking and howling of dogs coming from the wall, but he had no way of knowing. The specific circumstances of the training.
In fact, there are indeed many people who want to find out how the princess is trained. Those people are not under Gongora's instructions, but the gamblers in Okura City.
As soon as the date of the Dog King Battle was announced, all the casinos in Okura City started offering their odds. As the last decisive battle of the "Purple Sky Tournament", this dog fight naturally attracted a lot of attention, but just now At first, not many people took out money to gamble. The reason was that the odds offered by the casino were too low.
The odds set by most casinos are 1 for 10, and some even offer 1 for 15 or 1 for 20, which means that you spend 15 or 20 taels of silver to buy Xialuo. If Li wins, he can only win one tael of silver in the end.
These odds are reasonable in the eyes of casinos, because this dog fight is inherently one-sided. Last year’s dog king, Gialuo Li, faced off against the princess, a big foodie and pet dog. The disparity in strength between the two sides was too great, and the result was all There is no suspense at all.
It is difficult to arouse people's interest in betting with such low odds. Gamblers all want to get rich overnight. They bet more than ten taels of silver and wait for a month before winning one tael. It is better to go to the casino and bet directly. Playing Pai Gow with dice is a great experience.
Of course, if you dare to bet on the princess to win, there is a possibility of getting rich overnight, but no one will do that, because it is not a question of whether you are brave enough, but simply whether you are stupid.
However, after a few days, many casinos in the city changed their odds, from buying 10 to pay 1 to buying 5 to 1, and then to buying 3 to pay 1, and finally to buying 2 to pay 1. The reason for this is There are really stupid people in this world who actually scooped up a lot of money to buy the princess and win, thus raising the odds in the casino.
There is no airtight wall in the world. The name of this big idiot was quickly spread. It was Hua Bushi, the boss of Weitian Tower. It was said that this young master Hua had bet in various casinos in one day. The bet of 50,000 silver taels was all for the princess to win.
Although the odds of buying 2 to 1 are not too high, it has aroused the interest of many gamblers to place bets. In the eyes of many people, betting on Luo Li is a sure win, so everyone started betting on it. After scooping up money and placing bets, within a few days, the odds in various casinos changed from buying 2 and paying 1 to buying 5 and paying 1.
However, these odds did not last long, because Hua Bushi took action again. This time he invested 100,000 silver taels, and forcibly raised the odds to two to one. He did not seize the opportunity in time when the odds changed last time. Gamblers all bet at this time, and a few days later the odds changed to 5 to 1 again.
The tug-of-war over casino odds was repeated again and again. When Hua Bushi made a bet for the fourth time, he actually scooped out 200,000 silver taels at once, raising the odds to buy one and pay one. To such an extent, this made the gamblers in Okura City almost crazy. Many gamblers who did not want to miss the opportunity to make a fortune emptied the last taels of silver in their pockets, and the more daring ones even borrowed money from everywhere to bet.
In just this month, Hua Bushi bet a total of 500,000 taels of silver on the princess, almost making a huge bet with all the gamblers in Okura City on his own. .People in the city had various speculations as to why this "evil dog master" would do such a thing, and the conclusion that was finally accepted by everyone was that this young master Hua must have gone crazy.
Of course, not everyone thinks so, especially after the news that "Wanjintang" and the Spanish ship owner Gongora won the dog-king battle and bet on the exclusive trading rights of Okura Port were known to various trading houses, another news came to light. There is a legend that Mr. Hua knows the art of exorcising fairies and ghosts, and can possess the princess and the dog god, greatly increasing his strength.
After all, using normal dog training methods, it is almost impossible for the princess to defeat the Gaga. Although the names of "Hua Shenxian" and "White Orchid Saint" were spread among the indigenous Baba on the island, Okura Most residents in the city have heard of it.
As a result, many people tried to see how the young master was training dogs in the back garden of Baitianlou. Is he setting up an altar to summon gods and ghosts as rumored? It's just that they themselves They all returned in vain. Hua Bushi sealed off the back garden tightly so that no one could peep at it.
And time flies, one month will pass in the blink of an eye, and the result of this huge gamble will soon be revealed.

The eighth day of August is an auspicious day, and the weather is quite good. The sun is shining brightly and white clouds are floating in the blue sky.
In the past, Zixiaotai has never been as lively as it is today. There are a sea of people on and off the stage, and the surrounding streets are all decorated with lights and colorful flags, just like celebrating the New Year.
Although the "Zixiao Dog Fighting Conference" is a major event in the city, in the past, it was only related to the merchants in the city who were engaged in ocean trade, and had little to do with ordinary residents. However, this time the battle for the dog king , but it seems to have become a matter for all residents of Okura City.
After the great victory in the battle with the "Black Dragon Palace" pirates and the end of the siege, Okura Castle faced many difficulties such as food shortages. It has never held any large-scale activities. Now the grain transport ships sent to the mainland have been Returning to Hong Kong one after another, the shipping traffic on Okura Island has been restored, all difficulties have been relieved, and the business of shops has been reopened. The people in the city have long been holding back their energy and want to celebrate in a big way, a dog fighting convention That became the best reason.
So many people took to the streets and gathered around Zixiaotai. Even if the dog king fight was of no concern to them, they could at least join in the fun.
The many enthusiastic gamblers are also an important reason why Zixiao Terrace is so lively today. The number of people participating in gambling this time in the Battle of the Dog King, and the amount of silver bets, far exceeds the previous ones, which will cause such a situation. Hua Bushi's generous bets played an important role in the situation. After this one-on-one gamble against the gamblers in Okura City, the "evil dog son", after being notorious for being greedy for money, lustful and ruthless, became a "big gambler". Fame is probably inevitable.
