Liu Yuanhe said angrily: "Then what should we do if he doesn't want to come out?" Yuan Xi said: "Master Hua doesn't want to be invited, so I don't think we need to force ourselves. We can just go back and report to the master."
Liu Yuanhe was not angry to go back like this, but he had no choice. He snorted angrily, turned around and left. When he passed the door, he punched the doorpost with his fist. He only heard a muffled sound, about as thick as a foot. On the mahogany pillar, a fist mark more than two inches deep was actually punched out.
However, Yuan Xi had an angry look on his face and said loudly towards the door of the flower hall: "My uncle and I have been rude to you. Please forgive me for any offense. Young Master Hua's words will be conveyed to my master. Yuan Xi will retire first."
After he finished speaking, he bowed his head, turned around and walked out.
Everyone in the "Arhat Gate" all retreated. After a while, they heard a "pop" sound, but Wu Ergou was finally able to move and fell to the ground.[
He ignored the messy mess on his pants and crawled out the door on both hands and feet.
It was a blessing to escape from the hands of these powerful men. How could Wu Ergou dare to stay here any longer? With the lesson learned this time, he would never dare to do that dark thing again from now on. The business of stealing money from the street is over.

In the flower hall, Hua Bushi was still surrounded by four beauties.
There was only a wooden door across the hall, and naturally everything that happened in the lobby could be heard clearly in the flower hall. However, the young master's expression remained as leisurely as before, and he did not make any move.
Chu Yiyi couldn't help but ask: "It seems that Elder Liu is very angry. He will definitely complain to Fang Changsheng when he goes back. Yuan Xi is polite on the surface, but he may not have any good intentions. After all, this place is Aren't you afraid that Fang Changsheng will be unfavorable to us in the territory of 'Arhat Sect'?"
Hua Bushi smiled brightly and said: "If the 'Arhat Sect' really comes to attack in a big way, we will have to fight with them, but I don't think Fang Changsheng will become our enemy just to save face. of."
Chu Yiyi said: "Young Master made Liu Yuanhe angry and drove away just to save face."
Hua Bushi said: "We have to fight for face, but more importantly, we need to test Fang Changsheng's sincerity in cooperating with us."
Chu Yiyi turned her beautiful eyes and said, "How can I say this?"
Hua Bushi said: "There are no less than two hundred Baidao sects in Henan Province, and the 'Luohan Sect' has attracted about half of them. There are not a hundred sects that are allied with them, but at least 80. If Fang Changsheng treats us as just an alliance with them, Those Jianghu sects are like that, so naturally he will not come to see me in person."
The "Evil Dog Sect" has formed an alliance with the "Arhat Sect" for a few months, but apart from trading a secret book of "Bone Shrinking Kung Fu", the two parties have not had any actual cooperation until now, and they have no idea about the strength of each other's sects. I don't know much about it, but Hua Bushi is the person in charge of the "Evil Dog Gate". Yihong Tower is on the territory of "Arhat Gate". This young master wants Fang Changsheng to come to Yihong Tower in person instead of going to the "Arhat Gate" main altar. The meaning expressed is that the identities of the two people are at least equal.
At this time, where the principals of both parties meet is not only a matter of face, but more importantly, the status of the two sects. This will also affect the way the two parties work together in the future, as is the case with Hua Bushi As soon as he said it, of course Chu Yiyi understood it completely in his heart.
However, as far as she knew, Hua Bushi never seemed to pay attention to status when cooperating with other sects in the past, whether it was his cooperation with the "Dongting Gang" in Changsha City, or his cooperation with many people in Guangdong and Fujian a few months ago. When the sect formed an alliance, Hua Bushi would rather consider himself a junior and keep a low profile as much as possible, which was very different from this time.
Is it because of Yang Jiangyi's departure that his acting style has changed, becoming more decisive and public, Chu Yiyi secretly wondered in her heart.
However, regardless of any changes, Hua Bushi's scheming and accuracy of judgment were still different from before. As expected, Fang Changsheng did not care about the issue of face, nor did he send anyone to cause trouble again, but came to the door in person.
About half an hour later, I heard someone outside the flower hall say loudly: "Master Hua has come to Kaifeng. Mr. Fang did not treat him well and failed to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. I am really sorry."
The voice sounds like that of Fang Changsheng, the "boxing champion of six provinces" whom I saw in front of Biyun Waterfall that day.
Hearing the sound, Hua Bushi stood up and went out, and everyone in the flower hall followed. Fang Changsheng was already standing in the lobby of Yihong Building. His ugly face with a flat nose, round eyes and big mouth was the same as before. There were four people standing behind him. In addition to Liu Yuanhe and Yuan Xi, who had been here before, there were also two people wearing green cloaks and bamboo hats on their heads.[
The two men stood side by side, with their cloaks covering their whole bodies, and their bamboo hats hanging so low that their faces could hardly be seen. Only their bodies could be recognized as men.
Hua Bushi cupped his hands and said, "Master Fang is too polite. The beauties in Yihong Mansion are so charming and beautiful. As soon as I saw them, I didn't want to go anywhere anymore, but I made Master Fang laugh."
Fang Changsheng said: "Fang originally had important matters to discuss with Young Master Hua in secret, but he didn't know that Young Master Hua was sitting in the Yihong Mansion, leaning against the red and green trees. No wonder he didn't bother to invite me."
He laughed and added: "But that's not the case. Anyway, as long as it's in the city of Kaifeng and on the territory of 'Arhat Gate', it's the same everywhere."
After hearing this, Hua Bushi's heart moved. He looked around and saw that the entire lobby of Yihong Building was empty. The girls, prostitutes, turtle slaves, and boys were all gone at some point, and they were all gone.
Seeing the slight surprise on Hua Bushi's face, Yuan Xi said: "My master, the master, has confidential matters to discuss with Master Hua, and no outsiders are allowed to eavesdrop. The people in Yihong Mansion, except those around Master Hua, are not allowed to eavesdrop. The four girls have all been invited out, and our sect has set up sentries within a hundred feet, so people can approach."
This Yihong Building was originally the largest brothel in Kaifeng City, and it was located on a very prosperous street in the city. It only took a moment for the "Arhat Gate" to drive everyone away and blockade the entire street. Street, which shows that its influence in the local area is indeed not small.
Hua Bushi frowned and said, "If that's the case, don't these four girls also have to go out?"
Yuan Xi said: "If Young Master Hua wants to keep them as servants, he can't. However, the discussion between my boss and Young Master Hua must not be leaked. We have no choice but to lose four red-card girls in Yihong Mansion from now on."
What he meant was that if Hua Bushi insisted on keeping four female servants, the "Arhat Sect" would kill them afterwards to silence them.
Hua Bushi gave a wry smile and said, "That's all. Although I like the service of these girls, I also know that I should show mercy to them. All four of you, please go down."
Seeing this scene and hearing what Yuan Xi said, each of the four golden hairpins had already turned pale with fear. When they heard Hua Bushi asked them to leave, they immediately felt like they had received an amnesty and hurriedly retreated.
After the four women went out and walked away, Hua Bushi said: "There are outsiders here now, so Master Fang can say whatever he wants."
Fang Changsheng said: "Of course we need to talk about the matter, but before that, Fang asked Master Hua to meet two friends, one of whom is an old acquaintance of Master Hua."
He pointed behind him as he spoke, only to see that the two men wearing half-cloaks and bamboo hats had reached out to take off the bamboo hats, revealing two bald heads with incense scars on their tops.
It turned out that these two people were monks who were fasting and chanting Buddha's name. No wonder they had to hide their appearance when they went to places like Yihong Tower and other brothels and fireworks.
One of them was about forty years old, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and a fat face with half a beard. Hua Bushi recognized that he was the one he had seen on Wanyi Island that day, from "Dushan Hall", one of the eight Shaolin halls.
Hosted by Master Yuan Guang.
The other person is dark and thin, with shriveled cheeks. He seems to be older than Yuan Guang, about fifty years old. Under two gray eyebrows, he has a pair of very lively eyes.
All I heard was Fang Changsheng's introduction: "Master Chen is the seat of Shaolin's Prajna Hall, and he is also Fang's uncle. As for Senior Brother Yuanguang, Master Hua has already met him."
Although "Prajna Hall" is also one of the eight Shaolin halls, it is actually quite different from "Dushan Hall".
"Dushantang" is responsible for managing the industrial assets in the temple, which is equivalent to the outer hall of ordinary Jianghu sects, while "Prajna Hall" is a place that specializes in martial arts, and the top masters in it are also the most among the eight halls. Fang Changsheng was originally a
He was born as a lay disciple of Shaolin, and his seniority in the sect is quite high. He is the same generation as Abbot Master Yuantong, and he calls Master Chen his uncle, which means that this person is one generation older than the current head of Shaolin.
Facing such senior masters, Hua Bushi did not dare to be less polite and immediately paid homage to him.[
Master Chen recited the Buddha's name in return, and Master Yuanguang said in unison: "On that day when we said goodbye to Wanyi Island, only a few years ago, Master Hua has already developed his ambitions and expanded the branch of 'Evil Dog Gate' to Guangdong and Fujian.
The Second Realm, and now we have to establish a branch in the Henan Realm, it is really gratifying and congratulatory. I would like to wish Young Master Hua's sect prosperity and fame and fortune."
Yuan Guang is in charge of the external affairs of the Shaolin Temple. His words are unusual and can be compared to that of an ascetic monk who only knows how to chant sutras and practice martial arts. It is like his dharma title, which is both smooth and spiritual.
Hua Bushi smiled and said: "Thank you, Master Yuanguang. Master has given me a great reward. Our sect has just begun to develop in the realm of Yu, and we must rely on Master's unstinting help."
Yuan Guang chuckled and said, "It's easy to talk about."
These polite greetings immediately made the atmosphere here more relaxed, and Hua Bushi immediately invited everyone to the flower hall to talk.
After entering the flower hall, everyone sat down in front of the round table. Only three juniors, Yuan Xi, Ximen Tong and Li Hu, stood aside.
Fang Changsheng coughed slightly and said: "Even if Mr. Hua doesn't open the seal, Fang still has to send it to invite him, just because the time is ripe for the crusade against the 'Wealth Alliance' and can be carried out today."
