The Dominance of Martial Arts: Starting from the Tiger Roaring Golden Bell

Chapter 15 Conflict
Inside the West City Gate, a stall selling glutinous rice balls.

A muscular bald man was savoring the hot sesame dumplings in a bowl.

"Why is the person opposite you staring at you?"

A soft and delicate voice whispered beside my ear.

The person who was speaking was the daughter of the stall owner. She was wearing an apron and looked pretty and charming.

The bald man smiled and looked up at the restaurant not far away.

There were four people sitting at a table covered with food.

Among them was a big man wearing a long gown and trousers with messy hair.

The big man's gown was unbuttoned, exposing his dark chest hair.

While drinking, he stared at the bald man sitting at the stall outside.

Seeing the bald man looking at him, the big man grinned and made a throat-cutting gesture to him.

The bald man withdrew his gaze, smiled and asked the pretty girl next to him for another bowl of dumplings.

Just as the girl was about to bring over the dumplings.

She saw the big man walking out of the restaurant with a group of people in a menacing manner and rushing towards them quickly.

"Oh, run!" She worriedly reminded the guest in front of her.

The bald man took the glutinous rice ball without any concern, brought it to his mouth and continued to taste it.

Bang! The big man sat down at the table and slapped the dishes and chopsticks on the table, causing them to fall to the ground.

“Blood Dragon, today is the sixth day.

It’s time for the eight people in your gang to come back.”

The blood dragon blew on the noodle soup.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's only just past 9 o'clock."

"I'm anxious? Your mother, you guys killed our young leader.

Now you hide those eight people and say they went to meet the escort?"

The big man pointed his finger at the blood dragon and cursed.

Xuelong kept smiling and took a bite of the glutinous rice ball.

"You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Suddenly, two strong men came running towards the stall from the direction of the west gate.

They pushed their way through the crowds on the street.

They came to the stall one after another.

They shouted almost in unison:

“The person is back!!!”

The big man was stunned and looked at the subordinate who came to report the news in disbelief.

"Your mother! She's really back!!!"

"Really! The carriage will arrive at the west gate soon!"

The men shouted without hesitation.

The big man turned his head and looked at Blood Dragon who had finished eating the dumplings.

After a moment's silence, he suddenly stood up, waved his hands and shouted.

"Jingtao Gang! Let's go! Go to the west city gate! Capture the suspect!"

At the same time the big man said this, Xuelong put down his bowl and chopsticks.

He took out a string of copper coins from his pocket and threw them on the table.

The vendor saw it and waved his hands hurriedly.

"Master, that's too much!"

The blood dragon said nothing and stood up and left.

The moment he stood up.

Many strong men emerged from the surrounding stalls, shops, and restaurants.

They divided into two lines and followed the Blood Dragon and the big man in silence.

They marched towards the west gate in a mighty procession.

There were so many people that they almost occupied the entire street.

The crowded crowd on the street instantly made way.

Even if he felt suffocated by the pressure from others, he dared not block the way.

It’s because behind these two waves of people are raging waves and overturned seas.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

In front of the West City Gate.

Crowds of people and carriages continued to pour in like a river.

At this moment, an empty circle suddenly appeared in the river.

There was only one carriage in the circle, which was the carriage where Qin Zhiming and others were.

The carriage was covered in signs of damage, and even only half of the top of the carriage was left.

The circle was made up of dozens of Fanhai Gang members. They stood on all sides of the carriage, pushing away the crowd with one hand and putting the other hand on their backs just in case.

"Get down here!"

With a roar, a tall and strong man led a group of people and rushed towards the carriage.

He didn't care at all whether the person he knocked down was old or young, male or female.

Countless people were knocked to the ground, with bruises on their faces.

Some people's cargo also fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the members of the Fanhai Gang immediately gathered into a horizontal line to block the carriage.

The two groups of people collided in an instant.

The pushing and shoving and the constant cursing made the orderly team entering the city suddenly become chaotic.

Seeing that something was not right, the soldiers guarding the city pulled out the iron rods from their waists and tried to break up the two gangs.

The two gangs reacted differently. The Fanhai Gang took the initiative to retreat towards the carriage, while the Jingtao Gang continued to press forward.

This scene was seen by the teams entering and leaving the city nearby.

Especially those innocent people who were knocked to the ground by the Jingtao Gang and were picking up goods with bruised faces and noses.

What had they done wrong? They were just like me, trying to stay within the city and end up in such a miserable state.

The sounds of discussion among the people around made the soldiers guarding the city frown and look at the squad leader Wang Wu.

Wang Wu was furious. The members of the Jingtao Gang, relying on the good relationship between their leader and the county governor, were becoming more and more arrogant.

He didn't feel pity for those innocent people, he was just responsible for guarding the city gate.

Now, there is such a mess.

When the county magistrate arrived here, he was bound to scold him.

Thinking of this, he raised his short stick, pointed it at the members of the Jingtao Gang and shouted.

"Daniu! Tell your people to retreat! What's the matter? Wait until the county governor arrives!"

Da Niu is the tall and strong man who leads people to charge into the crowd.

He pushed aside the gang members beside him and walked up to Wang Wu.

"Fifth brother, the gang has given me a death order.

Lord Yu, I must first control the people in this carriage and prevent them from coming into contact with the snake cubs."

Wang Wu angrily shouted:

"I don't care what the order is! Anyway, we can't make trouble here now!
Besides? There are so many people here, under the watchful eyes of everyone, what can the Fanhai Gang do?"

After Wang Wu finished speaking, he turned around and shouted at the Fanhai Gang surrounding the carriage:
"This carriage is related to the recent murder in the county! You are not allowed to approach the carriage again!
From now on, everyone stay still.

Otherwise, I will have to ask you to go to jail!"

Unexpectedly, the next moment.

Zhang Yuhuai, who was holding the reins in the front room of the carriage, shouted:

"Sir, what murder case is this? My brothers and I are going to take over the escort!

Is there anything that can't wait until we get back to the gang?

We have something important to report, why is there such a big scene when we get back?"

This sentence made the originally calm scene boil again.

Daniu pointed his finger at the carriage and angrily cursed:

"You little snake! What murder case? You know it clearly!"

"Who are you scolding? Water monkey!"

Several members of the Fanhai Gang standing in front of the carriage immediately responded with curses.

Just when the two sides were about to clash again.

The noise coming from behind attracted everyone's attention.

The crowded crowd entering the city rushed to the rice fields on both sides.

Make way for the two waves of people arriving.

The carriages that could not reach the rice fields were also pulled to the sides of the trail by their owners.

Afraid of being angered by blocking the road.

Blood Dragon and the big man came to the front of the carriage.

The two gangs that had just surrounded the carriage made way for a path, and so did the soldiers guarding the city.

The big man glanced at the blood dragon with contempt and wanted to raise his leg to move forward.

Unexpectedly, the blood dragon stretched out its arms to block him.

"The carriage we are helping carries our people and it carries our goods.

Who are you? Why are you interfering?"

The blood dragon's smiling words directly angered the big man.

"Your mother!" He threw a fist as he spoke.

The big man twisted his waist and hips and punched the blood dragon's head.

The blood dragon did not dodge or evade, but swung his arm and struck with a palm strike.
