Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 25 Take action (Happy New Year’s Day!)
  "Shi Yong, catch the talkative one and break his bones for me!" Shi Tianqing couldn't help but laughed proudly when he saw Li Hongkang and Lang Li'an were scared.

He was also afraid of hurting Lang Li'an, so he designated the talkative one, Li Hongkang.

Shi Yong has good skills. He was originally a soldier of Bowling Marquis Shi Nai, and was later assigned to be Shi Tianqing's bodyguard, but he was a veteran of the war.

He approached Li Hongkang step by step, and the killing intent on his body made Li Hongkang change his expression.

Lang Li'an was born in a Lord's family. How could he not know the aura of Shi Yong? He became even more worried.

Seeing that Shi Yong was about to attack Li Hongkang, Li Hongkang gritted his teeth and reached into his arms.

At this moment, a small hand grabbed Shi Yong's big hand.

The small hands were white and tender, as if they were carved from white jade, while the big hands were rough and covered with calluses.

When these two hands are in contact, no one would think that the small hand can take advantage. Even if the small hand exerts force, the skin of the small hand will be worn out by the big hand without exerting force.

Jia Qiang stood on the stairs, at the same height as Shi Yong, which allowed him to reach out and grab Shi Yong's hand.

With a "boom", the guests of Qingfeng Building felt the whole building tremble.

The menacing Shi Yong was thrown away by Jia Qiang, a young man wearing a Confucian shirt, and hit the ground downstairs heavily.

The entire Qingfeng Building fell silent, and everyone looked at Jia Qiang as if they were looking at a monster.

"Brother Jia is truly a god!" Lang Li'an praised.

This Shi Yong was tall and tall, weighing at least 180 kilograms, but he was thrown away by Jia Qiang. This shows how terrifying Jia Qiang's strength is.

Li Hongkang also looked shocked, and he quietly took his hand out of his arms.

"Shi Tianqing, you said I stole the secret recipe of the Hou Mansion?!" Jia Qiang walked down the stairs step by step and said to Shi Tianqing in a deep voice.

Although it was very easy to attack Shi Yong before, he knew very well that he had taken advantage of the surprise.

Although he has a huge strength of 600 kilograms, he has just started practicing martial arts and has no combat experience. When fighting against a brave man like Shi Yong, with his height, he can't even touch Shi Yong's body.

He didn't know Shi Tianqing's fighting ability, but now he was using the momentum of throwing Shi Yong away to exert pressure on Shi Tianqing step by step.

This is the strategy in the "Yan Gong Bing Shu", and the art of war is equally effective in ordinary battles.

Shi Tianqing felt that all the hairs on his body stood up, and as Jia Qiang went downstairs step by step, his courage quickly dropped.

In particular, Shi Yong's wailing sounds kept coming to his ears, which made him not want to fall into Shi Yong's footsteps.

"I, Baolinghou Mansion, will not let you go!" After Shi Tianqing said a word, he turned around and left in a hurry.

When leaving, Shi Yong was left behind.

"Brother Jia, leave this Shi Yong to me!" Li Hongkang looked at Shi Yong with eyes full of danger, and he said lightly.

"I won't cause trouble for you, I'll handle this matter!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and replied.

Qingfeng Tower was given by Jia Mu. When the Shi family came looking for trouble, of course he had to go to Jia Mu.

He also knew that he did not have much friendship with Jia Mu. If he approached Jia Mu about this matter, the last bit of friendship would be consumed.

But he didn't want his friend to be implicated. If that was the case, it would be better for him to give up the favor.

"How can you get into trouble for such a trivial matter!" Li Hongkang said casually with a smile.

He walked to the door and waved to a carriage outside. The driver jumped out and whispered a few words.

The coachman came to Shi Yong, easily grabbed Shi Yong with one hand, bowed to Jia Qiang and Lang Li'an, and then turned around and left with Shi Yong.

Jia Qiang felt that this coachman was not a simple man. He easily lifted Shi Yong, who weighed 180 kilograms, with one hand, which showed that his own strength was not much weaker than Jia Qiang's.

And Lang Li'an had more knowledge. Like Shi Yong, this coachman's aura came from the battlefield, but the coachman was more dangerous.

With such a coachman, Li Hongkang's identity is not simple.

However, the two of them didn't care. The three of them were good friends. Li Hongkang said that if he wanted to mention his family, he would not remain friends if he didn't want to.

Jia Qiang told the shopkeeper a few words, and the shopkeeper showed reluctance on his face.

"I'm sorry for being frightened. All guests here are exempt from the bill. This is Qingfenglou's apology!" the shopkeeper said, bowing to the guests upstairs and downstairs. Immediately, all the guests upstairs and downstairs cheered. Today's meal not only saw a good show, but also did not cost any of their own money.

"Let's go back and continue!" Jia Qiang greeted her two friends.

"Brother Jia is so willing!" Lang Li'an said with a smile.

This up and down is equivalent to giving away more than a hundred taels of silver. Although the cost of Qingfeng Tower is not much, this is money that can be received.

"The reputation of Qingfeng Tower is more important!" Jia Qiang waved her hand and explained.

The impact that Shi Tianqing had just left on Qingfeng Tower was finally solved with Jia Qiang's operation.

As long as the historians do not take any more actions later, it will not have any impact on Qingfeng Tower.

Jia Qiang made up his mind. If the Shi family really caused trouble again, he would go find Jia Mu.

"Brother Jia, has he practiced the art of general body refining?" Lang Li'an asked impatiently as soon as he sat down.

Li Hongkang also had a curious look on his face. The body-refining technique was passed down among the generals, but not many of them actually practiced it. Generally, each general could only train one or two.

In fact, the Great Qian Dynasty had been in peace for a long time, and even among the generals, there were many so-called Confucian generals, that is, generals who had not practiced the art of general training.

There are really too few people practicing the general's body-refining skills to fill the vacancies in the army.

"If you live alone, you should learn some self-defense skills!" Jia Qiang replied with a wry smile.

"I'm not as good as Brother Jia. It's my choice at home. I couldn't bear the pain of physical training, so I chose to study!" Lang Li'an said to Jia Qiang, cupping his fists.

Lang Li'an saw his eldest brother practicing the body-refining technique with his own eyes. The miserable situation gave him frequent nightmares. In this generation of the Lang family, only his eldest brother practiced the body-refining technique.

"Brother Lang, I also want to ask you something?" Jia Qiang saw that the topic had reached this point, and then asked: "Brother Lang, does he know where to get the war horse, big spear and treasure bow?"

Langhou Mansion is the home of a lord, and it is also a lord who holds real power in the military. I think there will be relevant news in the future.

"It seems that Brother Jia is planning to study both civil and military skills. This road is not easy to follow!" Li Hongkang said with some admiration.

"They are for sale on Luoma Street in the capital. If you want better war horses, you need to find horse dealers in the Western Regions. I can help you find a big gun. Even I don't have many bows at home, so there is really no way!" Lang Li'an thought for a moment and replied.

"Thank you, Brother Lang, you have helped me a lot!" Jia Qiang offered tea instead of wine and raised her glass in thanks.

"Brother Jia can practice with an ordinary vertical bow first, and wait for the opportunity to see if he can encounter a treasure bow!" Lang Li'an also raised his cup and pointed with a smile.

Jia Qiang nodded. Although he had the 'Book of Acting on Military Affairs' to learn, but when practicing without anyone's guidance, he had to practice entirely through self-understanding, which was always too demanding.

"In fact, the Imperial College will also offer riding and shooting courses in the second half of the year!" Li Hongkang continued.

"The Imperial Cavalry and Archery is just for fun, it is not easy to ride and shoot in the real army!" Lang Li'an shook his head.

It's not that he looks down on the Imperial College, he himself is a prison student, but the requirements of the two are different.

The Guozijian's teaching of riding and archery was to let his disciples learn the Six Arts of Confucius, which was equivalent to exercising their body and bones.

But in the army, riding and shooting is a way to kill the enemy in battle. Just riding requires a war horse. It is best to choose a suitable bow for shooting.

Like Jia Qiang's strength of 600 kilograms, an ordinary bow in his hands will be broken if he is not careful.

And when fighting, be careful not to use too much force at any time. It will restrict him too much and prevent him from exerting his full strength.

Li Hongkang also understood this and said nothing more.

"Brother Lang, I wonder how much silver is needed for that big gun?" Jia Qiang is the most attentive to big guns, because big guns are an extremely important part of the basics of martial arts training.

"What's the point of talking about money? If you and I meet each other, a big gun is nothing!" Lang Li said with a slight annoyance.

"Absolutely, Brother Jia is out of touch!" Li Hongkang said with a laugh.

They are all from low backgrounds, so if they want money to give things to their friends, it would be a bit unfair in terms of their reputation.

They are not Jia Qiang. Even if Jia Qiang counts all the money in the inventory, it will be nothing in front of these two friends.
