Alienated Martial Arts

This guy.

There are just too many words.

Could it be that he and the Wang siblings have some private interest relationship?

Or is it an unexplainable relationship?

Otherwise, why are there tit-for-tat confrontations everywhere?

Are you going on and on and on?

So annoying...

I really want to stand up and punch him to death.

Just punch him to death!

Facing Zheng Zhi's series of questions, Wei Tao simply closed his eyes, folded his hands under the table and rubbed them together. His blood began to flow faster, and his fingertips were slightly red, slightly itchy, and inexplicably swollen.

"Okay, don't say anything anymore. What time is it now and you are still arguing there? How unbecoming it is!"

After a while, Tan Pan finally interrupted Zheng Zhi's aggressive questioning and said in a more serious tone, "Third Junior Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, you'd better be careful these days.

Although I am still not completely sure whether Junior Sister Ying Xue was killed by the Red Line Fist,

It remains to be discussed whether the teacher’s defecting junior brother came here.

But before the murderer surfaces, there is nothing wrong with being cautious. "

Suo Yunhai raised his head and said, "Senior Brother, I think the murder of Senior Sister Ying Xue probably has nothing to do with the teacher's great enemy back then."

He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, "Junior brother, I just thought about it carefully. If it is really that person, and he has practiced his boxing to an extremely advanced level,

So if he wanted to take revenge, he probably wouldn't have much cover at all. It would be the most convenient and quickest option to go directly to his martial arts school and catch them all. "

"Of course, Senior Brother wants everyone to be cautious. I absolutely agree with this. It's better to avoid the limelight in the near future and don't put yourself in danger easily."

Tan Pan nodded thoughtfully, "What the fourth junior brother said makes sense. We can also secretly check next to see if the Silver Wolf Gang has an enemy with anyone, which is why it caused such a disaster."

"Also, an organization called the Red Lantern Society has recently appeared in the outer city. Their water is very deep.

If you encounter him, it's best to stay away, don't provoke him easily, and don't even talk nonsense outside. You've all heard him. "

The room quickly became quiet, and everyone was thinking and stopped talking.

Tan Pan took a sip of tea and said, "Okay, that's all I have to say, everyone should leave."

Everyone got up and walked outside.

Zheng Xia and Suo Yunhai walked together, exchanging words in low voices, and soon left the inner courtyard.

Qi Wuya lagged slightly behind and jumped out of the gate.

"Junior Brother Wei, please stay here for a moment."

Just as Wei Tao was about to go out, Tan Pan's voice came from behind.

He stopped and turned around to look, "Eldest Brother, do you have any other instructions?"

"The morning after tomorrow, if Junior Brother Wei has nothing particularly important, please accompany me to the inner city."

Tan Pan sat back in his chair and slowly kneaded his eyebrows, "The Huang family organized a garden tour to appreciate plum blossoms, and there was also a banquet. I'm going to take you there to see the world. It's a good opportunity to expand your network." .

If you are lucky enough to meet a few noble people from the inner city at a cocktail party, it will be of great benefit to your future settlement. "

"I understand, thank you senior brother for your support." Wei Tao cupped his fists and saluted.

"You and I are from the same sect, and we are both from civilian backgrounds, so we should look after each other."

Tan Pan waved his hand, and his tone became more serious when he spoke again, "Zheng Ju's temper and tone are not very good today. Don't take it too seriously. He has always had a good relationship with Junior Sister Ying Xue. This time something like this happened." It is normal for emotions to fluctuate due to changes in circumstances.”

Wei Tao smiled and said in a gentle tone, "Elder brother, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important and what's good."

"That's good. Don't hurt the harmony between fellow disciples easily."

Tan Pan sighed, "The world has become increasingly chaotic recently. The teacher also mentioned before he left that we can prepare some weapons and supplies in advance according to changes in the situation. If necessary, we can even arm those registered disciples in case of emergencies."

"The seventh junior brother will plan to purchase the grain. You have been in charge for a while, so it shouldn't be difficult to raise the funds. If you need any money, just come to me and get it."

"I'll start preparing when I get down." Wei Tao nodded, "What about the weapons? What do we need to build?"

"You don't have to worry about all kinds of long and short weapons."

Tan Pan pointed to the door, "Did Junior Brother Seven forget that Junior Sister Ninth was recently admitted to our sect?"

Wei Tao suddenly realized and smiled, "That's right. With Miss Qi from Blacksmith Alley here, you really don't need to worry too much about this."

After coming out of the living room, Wei Tao went directly to the martial arts arena.

Stimulate the concentration of Qi and blood, and become familiar with the moves.

He was the only one left in the entire inner courtyard, which was very suitable for him to calm down and practice.

After some hard work, he wiped his sweat and sat down on the back chair where the teacher usually sat to rest.

The bright sunshine shines directly down, making people feel warm, and sleepiness comes with it.

Wei Tao closed his eyes and enjoyed the rare peaceful time.

It was a little hasty to go directly to the Silver Wolf Gang headquarters that night.

Without making a more complete plan in advance, the Youth Cooperation Association hastily organized and was short of manpower. In the end, it led to a chaotic battle and failed to eat up all the core backbone of the Silver Wolf Gang in one go.

There is also Wang Yingxue's body. Now it seems that just destroying the body and eradicating traces is not enough.

Just like after being fully prepared later, it would be a better choice to deal with the deputy leader of the Blackstone Gang and make her disappear without seeing her alive or dead.

Summarize the experience and lessons learned, and try to avoid such problems if you take action later.

……………………

At noon, it is the busiest time in the city.

Especially today, we caught up with the big market in the middle of the month. People from the nearby villages and towns came into the city to sell goods and buy daily necessities. Several main streets were suddenly crowded.

Wei Tao walked along the long street along with the flow of people, and soon came to the door of a grain shop.

A fat, white, middle-aged man was leaning on the counter to eat.

The bowl of white rice is topped with glistening lard, and a plate of browned lamb leg meat is added. You can smell the rich aroma standing outside the door.

"Shopkeeper Qian, I'm here to buy some food." Wei Tao opened the door curtain and entered the store.

"Rice or noodles, refined grains or coarse grains, how much do you want? I'll ask the guy to weigh it for you..."

The middle-aged man said casually, but after a moment he suddenly paused, and a smile bloomed on his shiny face.

"Hey, it's such a cold day. Why did Manager Wei come here in person? Have you had lunch? I'll let the kitchen cook two dishes while we two brothers have a drink."

"I'm not going to eat anymore. I bought more this time, so I don't feel relieved until I go there in person." Wei Tao found a stool and sat down casually, taking the tea from the waiter next to him.

"How can you buy more?" Shopkeeper Qian smiled as he picked up the remaining mutton on the plate and piled it into a small mountain with chopsticks.

Wei Tao took a sip of hot tea, and felt the delicate fragrance mixed with the scalding heat on his tongue.

He slowly raised three fingers and said, "Based on the daily consumption of the martial arts gym, this time it will take at least three or four months."

"hiss!"

Shopkeeper Qian lost his balance and the hill of mutton on the plate collapsed.

He simply poured all the mutton into the bowl, chewed a big bite, and said vaguely, "Brother Wei, you used to buy food based on ten and a half days' supply, why did you suddenly have to buy so much today?" Woolen cloth?"

Wei Tao yawned and said casually, "Oh, I have processed a batch of old grains in the kitchen in the past few days, and bought a batch of new large vats at a low price. Master Zhou saw it later and left those vats empty. So what’s going on?”

Shopkeeper Qian picked a small wooden thorn and picked his teeth with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"puff!"

After more than a dozen breaths, he spit out a small piece of brittle bone and sighed, "As for other people coming over, I really don't know how to take this order.

In other words, for the sake of our long-term happy cooperation, no matter how difficult this matter is, I will handle it for Brother Wei. "

"But we have to settle the accounts with our brothers. We have to clarify the price to Brother Wei in advance."

"Well, that's natural." Wei Tao chinned slightly, sitting there with his eyes closed and concentrating, with the sound of an abacus crackling in his ears from time to time.

After drinking a cup of hot tea, the crackling sound of the abacus finally stopped.

Shopkeeper Qian put down the brush in his hand and spread out a piece of papyrus paper filled with small words on the table.

"You actually want so much money?"

Wei Tao picked up the tissue paper from the counter, glanced at it, and frowned tightly, "Shopkeeper Qian, you may have made a miscalculation, right?"

"It's not a mistake, it's the price."

Shopkeeper Qian wiped his greasy lips and said resolutely, "For the sake of our regular customers, I have wiped out some small changes for Brother Wei."

Wei Tao tapped his fingers on the table of the counter, making a crisp sound, "I have the account of the last food purchase. How could the unit price of rice and noodles per kilogram increase so much in just a few days?"

"Besides, since I bought so much at once, the price should be lower than usual."

"Brother Wei, you are wrong about this."

Shopkeeper Qian smiled and helped the two of them refill the tea, "Now it's not that the more you buy, the lower the unit price, but the more you buy, the higher the unit price will be."

"Oh? Is there such a novel way of saying it?"

"It may not have existed before, but in today's world, it really must exist."

Shopkeeper Qian took a sip of the hot tea and narrowed his eyes in comfort.

"Nowadays, there is war in Mozhou and refugees are arriving one after another. In addition, with the arrival of severe winter, every household in the city needs to store winter food.

The price of food is not only the same every day, it can literally change several times in a day. "

“So, if you buy so much food at once, we are actually losing a lot of money.

That is to say, my shop is backed by a master in the inner city, and there is a large piece of tenant farmland supporting it outside.

If you choose another grain store, they probably won't accept your business like my brother. "

“Besides, if a person has no long-term worries, he must have immediate worries;

The cicada wakes up before the autumn wind moves, secretly planning to die without knowing it.

Brother Wei also knows which gentleman from the inner city is standing behind our shop.

Your martial arts school can see and feel the situation in advance. Could this old man still be blinded?

Maybe it’s because you can stand higher and see further. "

Shopkeeper Qian came closer and lowered his voice, "If nothing else, if the chaos in Mozhou spreads, food is more precious than real money and silver. As the saying goes, if you have food at home and a gun in your hand, you won't panic. "

You collect grain and I collect guns. Your home is my granary.

Wei Tao inexplicably flashed this sentence in his mind and nodded slightly, "What Brother Qian said does make sense."

He grabbed the pen and paper and added another line at the end of the piece of paper, "I will add another cart of rice noodles and a cart of dried meat, and deliver them to this house."

"Brother Wei, don't worry, we, the old man, are always meticulous in our work, and there will never be any mistakes in the accounts."

Shopkeeper Qian smiled and gave him a look that everyone understood. After confirming, he threw the piece of tissue paper directly into the heating stove.
