Morning in the Tower of Swords

And every time a butterfly-like phantom passed through the gap among the crowd, there would be a heavy blow and the sound of falling to the ground before even howling.

"One move and one move, one move moves the whole body, this is the method of both offense and defense, this is..."

boom! !

"Martial arts!"

He hit the back of the last person with a punch, and that person immediately had a ferocious expression, his eyes bulged, the steel pipe in his hand slowly slipped, and his body knelt down on the ground stiffly, blocking the painful airflow in his throat .

"However, you have failed to do any of them! Self-proclaimed martial arts disciples are like hooligans, weak in offense, lax in defense, weak in footsteps, and slow in reaction. Is this the level of martial arts in Shangshu?

All give me to practice again from the horse stance! ! ! "

Qiao Haiwang's teachings are thought-provoking, but it's a pity that none of his "students" can stand up and listen to the lecture. In the silence, only Shen Lou, who has burning eyes, can't help clapping.

Even Lao Li recovered from his dumbfoundedness only after hearing his applause, quickly and skillfully changed his expression, and puffed up accordingly.

"Wonderful! It seems that with brother Shangshu Qiao here, the revival of Dayan's martial arts is just around the corner."

"Concession and concession, but my goal is not to revive martial arts. I just hope that the weak can protect themselves, the strong can use martial arts to shape themselves, and finally use martial arts to awaken the world!"

"Good point! But how will Miss Feilin deal with it?"

Qiao Ge thought for a while, and then walked to Miss Du's side. Du Yaoye was about to wake up at this time, but before she tried to get up, she felt a strong arm around her waist. Get up and carry it on your shoulders.

"You, what are you doing!?!"

"Tell me, where is your martial arts, I'm going to... kick the hall!"

"Master Shen, is this the one?"

Lao Li looked up at the plaque with four gold-plated characters of "Xingyu Inn" not far away, and couldn't help but rubbing a folding fan in his hand, clapping it in his palm like a hard-boned literati who was about to go to the enemy camp alone. clap.

It's a pity that there is something wrong with his demeanor, not only does he not look elegant, but he looks like a gangster gangster strategist who is planning how to blackmail other businessmen.

"That's right, but does Mr. Li really want to go in? Zheng Qingyue, the shopkeeper of Xingyu, is the biggest powerhouse in Shangshu. If he really wants to force Mr. to stay at any cost, even the government's troops will be helpless for a while."

"Hehe, his inn is grandiosely located on our only way, do you think if he really has the heart, he can get away just by "not going in"?

Moreover, I am good at face-to-face skills. I think that the eldest lady is quite reckless and impulsive, but she is by no means a criminal. People preach and preach. "

That TM can also be called preaching?

Although Shen Lou really couldn't hold back his inner complaints, he also knew that the terrifying power of being able to cross the river with one foot and a stick like King Qiao Hai had to hit those young martial arts disciples firmly. , I'm afraid it's just like being slapped on the butt by Skadi...

Ah, that's not right, it's almost like being hit by a siege artillery. A single ear of melon seeds can kill your head, and there is absolutely no possibility of surviving.

And now it's just because of a little bit of broken tendon, broken bone, broken viscera and spit blood, needing to stay in bed for ten and a half months, it is indeed very gentle.

"Of course I'm not a fool who threw himself into the trap. I actually did this because I have confidence in Brother Qiao. You don't know that this animal has done something before... Ah, sorry, I made a slip of the tongue, just pretend I didn't say anything."

...You fucking said it!I think, I really want to know!

After all, Shen Lou is also a martial artist, so it is only natural that he would be curious about other strong men he admires, but it is definitely inappropriate to talk about "Dr. Wu" behind his back. Did he say?

So Shen Lou just kept silent and guarded the surroundings, but Lao Li just said that he would enter the inn for a break, but now he suddenly ran to a melon stand to look at the melons, and every time he picked up the watermelon and patted it carefully Put it back again, just don't buy it.

After dawdling like this for about ten minutes, when the owner of the melon seller suspected that he was here to find fault, Lao Li took out his pocket watch and took a look at it. Pick a watermelon and pay the bill.

"Let's go, Master Shen, the weather is so hot, so please take the pains to lead me the way. There is an inn just ahead, let's go in and have a cup of tea and make some snacks, and then ask the back chef to cut up all the melons. How about resting our feet? "

"...Just what Mr. Li said."

"okay!"

……

In fact, Zheng Qingyue had been sitting behind the counter of this Xingyu Inn, carefully accompanied by the cashier, and absently looking at the account book in his hand, in fact, he was waiting for the old carp to come.

So when the old carp holding the watermelon in one hand entered the door, he, like Du Yaoye, saw at a glance that this guy had the same temperament, dress and race as in the information, and the old carp was actually observing in secret under the cover of the watermelon. Zheng Qingyue.

And when Shen Lou entered the door behind Lao Li, Zheng Qingyue was completely convinced that Lao Li must be the target person carrying the wine cup.

'This man looks like a boatman, but his steps are relaxed, and his whole body has no flaws. Under this disguised scabbard, it is actually a sharp sword that can be drawn quickly at any time. He is indeed a master! '

In the beginning, Zheng Qingyue was actually a little skeptical about the reminder from the boatman at the pier. After all, if he is really an expert, how can a commoner like you see it?It's nothing more than a few bodyguards.

But after the incident that year, the shopkeeper Zheng has long been seeking stability in everything, let alone such an important matter. Now it seems that Zheng Qingyue can only be thankful that he listened to the boatman's reminder and made second-hand preparations.

'It seems that they can't do anything in this inn, but it doesn't matter, anyway, they can't escape when they go out. '

Shopkeeper Zheng, who had made up his mind in his heart, stopped the waiter who wanted to go up to greet the customers, and then walked up to greet the customers himself, just to take this opportunity to confirm and observe carefully.

It's just that he had just walked out of the counter, when suddenly there was a burst of miserable screams outside the inn door, just like a group of yelling donkeys who had just escaped from a membership-only restaurant, scaring both Shenlou and Zheng Qingyue jumped.

Only Lao Li was not surprised at all, but secretly rejoiced that he had timed it just right, and would have shown his timidity if it was later.

"Master, master, you have to be the master for us! There is a braided monster who kidnapped the eldest lady and came to kick the hall! The whole escort agency is in trouble, no one can beat him!"

"what!!?"

I saw a few young disciples wearing the martial arts uniforms of the Yuxing Escort Bureau crawling and paralyzed at the door of the inn. Some of their faces were swollen as if they had stuffed several myrtle girls in, and some of them had a severed hand drooping. or a broken foot.

But judging from how loudly they were able to scream, although they looked miserable, at least their lives were not in danger.

And following them as unhurriedly as walking, it was Qiao who held Miss Du's buttocks forward like a bag on her shoulders, her body was covered with splashed blood, but she didn't see any wounds. Neptune.

Even though he was described as a big villain, he still held his head high and his face full of righteousness, making the onlookers think that he was the kind of hero in a martial arts story who takes risks alone and avenges the innocent and weak.

When Zheng Qingyue heard the news that his daughter had been kidnapped by his disciples, Zheng Qingyue was already so anxious that he couldn't help but pick up the dusty "Frost Knife" behind the counter to do it, but when he really saw Qiao who was carrying Du Yaoye, When Neptune, he suppressed this impulse again.

"This……"

Zheng Qingyue has practiced his eyesight to see people quietly for most of his life. This is definitely the first time that he did not make an evaluation silently in his heart, but shouted out involuntarily.

"What a tough guy!!!"

If Shen Lou has no flaws in his posture, then Qiao Haiwang has no flaws in his whole body. This is the same reason that moderate exercise attracts the opposite sex, and excessive exercise attracts the same sex.

Qiao Haiwang's physical body is the pinnacle that every martial artist dreams of. If Zheng Qingyue knew a certain Dongguo karate master Yudi who is not convenient to be named, he would definitely come to the same homosexual conclusion.

Hey!How blessed is it?!

Of course, Zheng Qingyue was patient and didn't fight Qiao Haiwang immediately, of course not because he awakened the female in his heart, but first of all because Du Yaoye was on the opponent's body, whether he could beat her or not, he might accidentally injure her.

On the other hand, Zheng Qingyue also knows his adopted daughter very well. Although he can only see a buttock now, he still has a tail of a brain axe. The tail of a cat is something that cannot hide secrets.

Except for the big lynx with too short tail, how can the nickname of lynx be called the guardian of secrets?

And now Du Yaoye's tail was tucked loosely on the fart curtain, flicking it slowly and longly from time to time on both sides of his body, showing no sign of tension at all.

Apparently, instead of feeling scared, she felt very...comfortable?

Although this inference is really weird in every respect, after all, Zheng Qingyue is a veteran who has traveled all over the world. Even if he has never heard of the term Stockholm Syndrome, he can understand some of the situation.

It's nothing more than my own daughter saw with her own eyes that he was so brave, handsome and strong in martial arts, and she couldn't hold back all of a sudden, and she was fucking. Don't tell me, your father and I almost couldn't hold back just now.

But Zheng Qingyue is also a big shopkeeper, and he can't judge based on his personal likes and dislikes when handling affairs, at least he can't show it on the bright side.

"Who is your Excellency? I have no grudges with you in the past, and I have no grudges in the present. Why do you want to tie me up at night and destroy my bodyguard agency!"

"It seems that you are Master Zheng of Xingyu. You can call me Qiao Haiwang. Now I just want to ask you one question, why do you people of Xingyu want to practice martial arts? Is it just to do dart business for you!"

When Qiao Haiwang questioned Zheng Qingyue, he also put down Miss Du from his shoulders, signaling that she could go. After all, he didn't really intend to kidnap her, but just asked her to show him the way.

However, when Du Yaoye was put down, instead of running away quickly like a cat, she froze for a while, as if she was a little bit unsatisfied and reluctant to leave.

But it didn't feel right to ask others to carry her back, so she looked at Qiao Haiwang and her father Zheng shopkeeper, she chose to move slightly behind Qiao Haiwang and hid behind him. behind the figure.

Zheng Qingyue: "..."

You are such a filial daughter!

There is a reason for this situation, because Miss Du witnessed Qiao Ge's feat of sweeping the Escort's martial arts alone, and almost reproduced his previous battle to destroy Du Yaoye's younger brothers, but in the previous battle, she still I was in dizziness, so I didn't have time to appreciate it.

Although the martial arts disciples are only the reserve employees trained by the Escort, just like the newcomer training camp in Rhodes Island, except for a few experienced martial arts instructors, they are almost all "little calves" with strong bodies.

As the saying goes, the fist is afraid of the young, and the stick is afraid of the old man. Qiao Haiwang is not wearing any weapons except for a fake leg. According to Miss Du's original thought, breaking into the martial arts is also a dead end.

So Du Yaoye didn't play any tricks, and simply pointed out the place for him.

However, it turns out that Taila really has a warrior, but it can only be Qiao Haiwang, not Yudi alone. The whole Xingyu martial arts Zanba Zanba is a piece, and I am afraid that there is not a burning nightclub in front of him.

The process completely overturned Du Yaoye's cognition. In addition, Qiao Haiwang really didn't kill him, and he preached while beating. Those who were beaten probably didn't listen to a word. It went in my head.

So for a martial arts practitioner with ideals and aspirations, isn't it natural to feel admiration for the invincible King Qiao Hai at this time?Of course, whether it is mixed with any other strange things, it varies from person to person.

"Your Excellency, why did you say that? Except for the refugee orphans who were adopted by Xingyu because of natural disasters, or the kind local farmers and fishers who want to learn martial arts to get ahead, the disciples of my bodyguard bureau have no money at home.

As the saying goes, if you are poor and rich in martial arts, working for the Escort is just a way for them to repay the cost of learning martial arts. Is it possible that your Excellency means that I need free charity to start a martial arts practice? "

"Look, even you know that darts are just to pay off debts, so why don't you teach them real martial arts! I beat all the martial arts disciples you mentioned, and none of them looked like warriors, but they were gangs of fighters !

Those so-called instructors of yours are nothing more than overseers with a lifeless life, and if they are placed in my division, they will have their dominant hand cut off as a punishment! "

"..."

To be honest, shopkeeper Zheng is really hard to refute the question raised by Qiao Haiwang. The martial arts learned by martial arts disciples are indeed ordinary goods, that is to say, the nutritional level of food for them is not bad, and other aspects are completely different from the Rhodes Island training camp. Compare.

After all, Terra's martial arts are not as easy to distinguish factions as Originium arts.In addition to a bunch of common low-level skills such as strength enhancement, speed increase, firearm firing, and Jenny box hardening, the classification of slightly more advanced skills is basically derived from talent.

Therefore, there are very few senior art masters who are unwilling to teach skills, because it is really difficult to find a true disciple who can match their own attributes, and it is useless to teach students of other attributes, even as a theory cannot be verified.

Martial arts are different. Although reaching the top level also depends on talent, but practicing at the upper-middle level only depends on physical fitness and personal effort. The physique of Terra people is stronger than that of Earth people.

So in theory, as long as you are free from illness and calamity, and your nutrition is decent, if you spend more than ten or twenty years practicing martial arts hard to reach the level of local fame like "Frost Knife" Zheng Qingyue, there is basically no bottleneck, but the actual combat experience is not enough. counted.

But the problem is that if this is the case, won't the reputation of people like Shopkeeper Zheng be depreciated?

Therefore, the general unwritten rule of the Taila martial arts school is to be extremely self-respecting. It is not enough just to join the school. You must be personally certified by the head of the school, and the treatment is similar to that of a son or daughter. In order to learn real kung fu.

Only in this way can the future reputation and achievements of the disciples be firmly tied to oneself, and the use of those ordinary disciples is only a strong labor for appearance.

Looking at it this way, it is only natural that the development of Dayan Martial Arts will be suppressed by the Heavenly Master's technique.

But this kind of unspoken rule will definitely not be put on the bright side. Those martial arts disciples who are learning martial arts just think that they are not talented enough, hard enough, and they have not been recognized by their masters. Over time, they will be content to be mediocre.

So shopkeeper Zheng couldn't answer Qiao Haiwang's question directly in public. This was not only related to his own family martial art "Frost Knife". As the leader of the local escort in Shangshu, he also had to consider the feelings of other martial arts schools.

It's like if a certain business owner "maliciously" gives employees a raise and holiday, it will be boycotted by other companies immediately.

"Master Zheng, is there anything wrong with what I just said? If you have any objections, you can come over and beat me right now, beat me down, or kill me. Warriors should use martial arts to speak!

If you have no objection, I will immediately compensate Xingyu martial arts disciples in full for medical expenses, but I will come back in three days, and I will fight all the martial arts in Shangshu again!There are also people as disrespectful as today's Xingyu Martial Arts, they all smashed the plaques, so don't mislead your children! "

Qiao Haiwang's arrogant words, coupled with his full-spirited, majestic, Northeast loud voice like a human megaphone, directly stunned the wealthy people present and the onlookers.
