After this huge gambling challenge to all the gamblers in Okura City, the reputation of "The Bad Dog" as a "big gambler" is probably inevitable after he has been notorious for being greedy for money, lustful and ruthless.
Now this "big gambler" is outside the fence of the dog fighting venue, standing in the trainer's exclusive position. Although he is surrounded by enthusiastic and noisy crowds, his face is as dark as water, at least he looks very calm on the outside.
This place is located in the center of Zixiao Terrace. It is the largest of the eighteen dog fighting venues. Today, it is still overcrowded. Not only are there no empty seats on the seats around the venue, there is not even room to stand. People are crowded on the outside. Even if people stand on tiptoes and stretch their necks as much as possible, it is not easy to see what is going on in the scene.
Several principals of "Wanjintang" have arrived. Chai Lin and Yao Yuanxiao are sitting on the chairs, with a little nervous look on their faces. After all, in this dog king battle, hundreds of thousands of silver taels and Okura are at stake. Hong Kong’s exclusive trading rights are crucial to the sect.
Sima Rulan, on the other hand, looked very relaxed. She sat side by side with Hai Hongzhu. The two were talking and laughing. It seemed that they had already been full of confidence in this gambling match and were not worried about losing.
Hua Bushi is not as confident as Sima Rulan. Although he looks very calm, he is actually quite worried inside. For a "big gambler", the most important thing is luck, but in the past month , but everything goes wrong for this young master, and he has no luck at all. He is simply unlucky.
First, Mo Wentian wrote a letter from Wuyang City, informing him that the purchase of fine iron had been blocked. The "Evil Dog Sect" wanted to purchase all the fine iron produced by the Yongmai, and the "Monkey Shen Family" had no objections. However, the "Iron Sword Gate" refused to agree, because the imperial officers and soldiers and the rebels were currently fighting in Henan and Shaanxi, and there was a huge demand for weapons. The "Iron Sword Gate" had already entered into an agreement with the government and must supply a large number of weapons and armor on time. Therefore, their refined iron cannot be sold to "Evil Dog Gate".
Then news came from Chu Yiyi that the dispute between the Baidao sect in the martial arts world of the Central Plains had actually spread to Changsha Prefecture.
The Baidao dispute originated from the killing of the "Kongtong" elders on Wanyi Island, and then developed into a dispute between "Tangmen" and "Emei" in Sichuan and "Kongtong" and "Wudang" in Shaanxi and Hubei. During the battle, both sides gathered many small and medium-sized sects to form an alliance and confront each other. Logically speaking, Changsha City is located in the Hunan border and is not the territory of these sects. The various gangs in the city have not participated in any alliance and should have nothing to do with their fight. That's it.
However, both parties to the alliance were wary of each other's power and did not dare to enter the other's territory easily, so they chose Changsha Mansion in the Hunan Province between the Hubei and Sichuan Provinces as the battlefield for the fierce battle. Today, Changsha City Hundreds of masters from dozens of sects have gathered inside and outside, belonging to two major alliances, and are ready for a big fight at any time.
According to the information from Chu Yiyi, Changsha City has experienced several conflicts recently, which not only destroyed many industries, but also greatly affected the business of shops in the city. The "Evil Dog Gate" has also inevitably suffered losses. This is really When the tortoises fight, the fish in the pond will also suffer!
The reason why these two alliances chose to fight in Changsha City is unknown, but it seems that neither Tangmen Emei nor Wudang Kongtong have taken advantage of the local snakes "Dongting Gang" and "San San" who occupy Changsha City. In their eyes, fighting fiercely on other people's territory is more worry-free than fighting in one's own home. At least the things that are broken belong to others and they don't feel bad.
Currently, only Yu Qianli, Li Hu and Ximen Tong are at the helm of the "Evil Dog Gate" in Changsha City, plus the forty-nine Qingyun Guards. Even though their strength is not weak, they still have to contend with dozens of sects from the two major alliances. Far from it. What makes Hua Bushi even more worried is that these three young men lack the experience of being in charge. If an unexpected situation occurs, it may be difficult to deal with it. Being involved in a fight will definitely outweigh the gains and losses.
As a last resort, Hua Bushi had to go to his father Hua Tianxiong and his second uncle Hua Dihu and ask them to return to Hunan from Okura Island immediately and go to Changsha City to take charge of the overall situation. Although there was a lack of manpower for the battle with the "Black Dragon Palace" , but the Hunan border is the foundation of the "Evil Dog Gate", and there is no room for any mistakes. Hua Tianxiong is experienced and has a reputation for being evil. If he goes to Changsha City, he will at least make the two major alliances afraid. When fighting fiercely, Hua Bushi would not completely disregard the interests of the "Evil Dog Gate", and Hua Bushi would be able to relax a little.
What is extremely unsatisfactory for this young master is the recruitment of disciples in Okura City to practice the "Crane Wheel Sword Technique". As the situation in Changsha City becomes critical, Hua Bushi has to take care of both ends. The manpower shortage in the sect has reached the point of being stretched thin. If the new war department can be trained as soon as possible, it can at least alleviate the urgent need. It is a pity that Zhu Hong used the "Evil Dog Gate" sign in Okura City to recruit a disciple. For many months, some people came to apply, but no one met the conditions.
Although frustrated, Hua Bushi also wanted to understand the reason. Although there are many residents in Okura City, they all moved with their families from the mainland. Most of these people are engaged in business, and The city is very prosperous, and everyone is living a very good life, unlike the many poor families in various parts of the Middle-earth continent. Under the conditions of having enough food and clothing, not many people are willing to join the Jianghu sect. Work hard.
Even if there are a few young people who like to practice martial arts, they are still unable to be recruited because they either have poor qualifications or lack the will to endure hardships due to their wealthy families. "Hexing Wheel Sword Technique" is a fierce martial arts that involves fighting in close combat. , although the requirements for physical qualifications are not high, practitioners must have an extremely strong will and p.
The only thing that matters is the ability to filter. These are the things that young people from wealthy families in Okura City lack most.
It seems that if you want to receive disciples suitable for practicing this sword technique, you still have to go to the Middle-earth continent to recruit. However, Hua Bushi was unable to leave Okura Island for a while, so he had to put this matter on hold.
Over the past month, all kinds of things have not gone smoothly, which also makes Hua Bushi worried about today's dog fight on the "Purple Sky Terrace". Hua Bushi has been betting heavily on this dog fight several times in a month. A total of 500,000 taels of silver were bet on the gambling game, and these bets were placed in different casinos. The average odds were about 1 to 3. If the princess won, she would instantly win 1.5 million taels of silver, and if If you lose, you lose all your money.
In the past month, although the young master has tried his best to train the princess, he is not completely sure whether the big white dog can win today. It is said that everything depends on man and God, but it is a pity that he lacks luck now. God seems to be making things difficult for him in everything.
"Hello, Mr. Hua!" Suddenly someone called, Hua Bushi turned around and saw his opponent in this battle, Gongola.
This Spanish aristocrat with silver-gray hair was now flushed, his face was shining, and the two mustaches on his lips were raised higher than usual. In terms of physiognomy, Gongola's fortune is Obviously he is much stronger than Hua Bushi who looks like he is unlucky.
"Long time no see, Mr. Gongola!" Hua Bushi replied with clasped fists.
With a smile on his face, Gongola said: "Mr. Hua, although this is the second time our two fighting dogs have fought each other. The last time Baoliang you trained lost to Gialuoli, I still think Mr. Hua is the best dogfighter in the world. A good animal trainer. So today, I decided to personally command the Gia Luo Li to win this dog fighting match. I also hope that Mr. Hua and 'Wanjintang' can abide by the bet they made before and win the exclusive rights of Okura Port. Give us Spain the right to trade."
The dog fighting has not yet begun, and Gongola's tone of voice is as if the dogfight has already won the game.
Hua Bushi smiled slightly and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "We will definitely abide by the agreement, but we also hope that if Mr. Gongola loses, he will not forget to fulfill what he promised."
Gongola laughed "haha" and said: "Of course, I will never forget it, although it is impossible to happen, just like the sun cannot rise from the west."
At this time, the dog boy on the sidelines could only be heard shouting: "The animal trainers on both sides are in place, the fighting dogs are entering!"
Gongola retreated to the other side of the fence and stood opposite Hua Bushi. The Spanish nobleman really wanted to personally direct the dog fighting battle, and the black animal trainer Sac... He stood by his side and acted as an assistant.
Eight big men carried two large wooden cages and walked into the venue from a dedicated passage. The wooden cages were placed on both sides of the fence. Under everyone's gaze, the black cloth covering the cages was lifted, and the participating dogs The two fighting dogs of King of War have finally made their official debut.
The Gia Luo Li is no different from the past. Its broad and well-proportioned body is extremely strong, its silver-gray fur shines with oil, and hangs straight from the shoulders to the ground. Its eyes are calm and majestic, showing the temperament of a king among dogs.
When the black cloth covering the princess' wooden cage was lifted, all the spectators on the sidelines were surprised.
In the past month or so, due to Hua Bushi's strict confidentiality, outsiders had no idea what kind of training was going on in the back garden of the barking sky building. The big white dog had never appeared in public, but at this time the princess had already It is very different from before. Although the broad-mouthed eyes on the flat head and the long snow-white hair are still there, its body is obviously much slimmer, its four legs are not as strong as before, and its entire waist and back have lost a lot of weight. lock up.
Now the princess no longer looks like a fat and round "big foodie". Standing in the cage, she looks quite elegant like a fair lady.
Fighting dogs is not a beauty pageant, and being fat is not a bad thing, because only bigger and stronger fighting dogs can have greater strength, while thin dogs are not suitable for fighting. But in the past month, I don’t know How did Master Hua train him to make the originally strong princess look so slender and frail?
