184. Go to war
The Lujia Martial Arts Hall is not in the center of the city, but in the northwest of Yanjing, and it took nearly half an hour to drive over, Tong Tiezhu calculated the time very well, and arrived at exactly eleven o'clock, which was almost the same as the agreed time, neither showing initiative nor rudeness.
This place is not prosperous, but it is very regular, there are a lot of people on the street, but there is not much hustle and bustle, looking at everything seems to be very harmonious, which is a little inconsistent with the overall rhythm of Yanjing, and it is not like Ye Shuzhu's focus on "dirty and messy".
The Lu Ka Wu Hall is located in a prosperous area of this area, in a high-walled courtyard facing the street. A plaque at the door that seems to be some years old is very conspicuous, showing his heritage here in a low-key manner.
knocked on the door, someone was already waiting in the door, and after reporting the name, the person invited Ye Shu and his party of four inside. After entering the courtyard, Ye Shu saw that the courtyard of this house was not small, not just a simple courtyard, there was a cave in it, and there was even a cross-courtyard, depending on the situation, the area would not be small. Ye Shu guessed that this family was quite rich, ordinary people couldn't afford to live in such a big yard, even if they rented, it wouldn't be cheap, and they didn't know if this was someone's own property.
The leader did not lead them into the main courtyard, but went straight in front of the Hanging Flower Gate and led them into the West Courtyard. There are more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard across the west, one in five steps, each burly, standing with their hands behind their backs along the corner of the wall all around, all of them are silent, and they still don't squint when they see Ye Shu and others coming in, like a statue of flesh, looking very imposing. There are two long tables under the eaves of the east and west wings of the courtyard, and tea is placed on each table, and chairs are placed on the side of the table. There are three people sitting at the two tables in the east of it, two old men, a middle-aged man, and there is a special person waiting behind them, looking at the tea cup on the table, it seems that they have been waiting for a long time again, only the table on the west side is empty, it seems that it is prepared for these people. Behind the table, there is a row of weapon racks, and there are all kinds of long and short weapons on the shelves, and I don't know if they are true or not, anyway, the weapons are all wiped bright, and they look murderous.
After the group stood firm, Tong Tiezhu stepped forward and clasped his fists at the people behind the two tables in the east, and said loudly: "Tong Tiezhu, the founder of the mountain gate, is invited to come. At this time, he is not a person, but represents this sect, of course, according to his master, the sect is just the two of them, or temporarily formed, and there is no plan to add more people, but the momentum is not bad at all.
A person at the long table inside stood up, also clenching his fists and arching his hands, "Master Tong, Lu has been waiting here for a long time." You may be seated!"
"Thank you!"
What are the rules of the rivers and lakes, Ye Shu doesn't understand, because he doesn't know where the rivers and lakes are, let alone what the rivers and lakes are like, but think about it, it's estimated that it's like this, salute first and then soldier, obviously there is already tension, but the work on the surface still has to be done.
Ye Shu and Tan Xiao sat down, Tong Yutong also sat down, glared at the opposite side, and sat down, because she saw Lu Xiang who was entangled with her and Lu Luoyi, who had been injured by her, among the people standing opposite. Tong Tiezhu didn't sit, but just stood beside Ye Shu with his hands in his hands. Since it is according to the rules of the rivers and lakes, it should be the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, in front of the master, how can the apprentice dare to sit on an equal footing with the master, Tong Yutong sits, it is because she is not a member of the master's family, otherwise she has to stand like herself.
Seeing the four people who came in, three young men and women sat down, while the eldest was standing on the side, and the rest of the people in the courtyard were a little puzzled, not knowing what the situation was. The sisters and brothers of the Lu family who knew Tong Yutong had never seen Ye Shu Tan Xiao's pair, and only regarded them as Tong Tiezhu's friends or relatives, cheering for Tong Tiezhu.
When the number of rituals that should be done is over, it is time to do the right thing. Lu Tiancheng walked to the courtyard and bowed his hand to Tong Tiezhu again, "Master Tong went to the appointment on time, and he really did what he said...... In order to show fairness and justice, Lu specially invited Master Doulu, a kung fu master, to come and testify. ”
"Master Lu, what are you doing?" Ye Shu turned his head to Tong Tiezhu and asked, and at the same time secretly summed up in his heart: "The rivers and lakes have also been optimized?"
Tong Tiezhu also shook his head, he didn't have many people in the rivers and lakes, and most of them were dealt with by him, and there were many self-proclaimed "masters", but he had never heard of those who were worthy of being praised as masters, and he didn't know where this "Master Lu" was.
When they were stunned, an old man behind the opposite table nodded slowly, cooperated with Lu Tiancheng's introduction and signaled to everyone, it was regarded as a greeting, did not speak, let alone get up, and even his eyes were slightly squinted, as if these people could not enter his eyes, a pair of young men and women stood behind him, their bodies were straight, and they also looked arrogant.
The young woman took a step forward, looked around at the people present, folded her hands around her chest, raised her chin slightly, and said sharply: "The battle between the rivers and lakes, until the point is reached, you must not deliberately hurt people, and you must not ...... The loser must not be resentful, and he must not retaliate......"
"Damn, I thought the hardware test could detect this, it turned out to be a referee. Ye Shu pursed his lips, saw the tea and water drinker opposite, took out two bottles of Coke from his backpack and put them on the table in front of him, and took out a pack of hazelnuts and put them in front of him, as well as melon seeds and peanuts...... He didn't touch the things prepared by the other party, who knows if there was any medicine in it.
Lu Tiancheng, who was about to introduce other people in the field, was a little dumbfounded, what is the situation? Bring your own snacks, is this a cheer, or is it a play? Looking at Tong Tiezhu with doubts, I really wanted to ask him, "What is that person doing, did he buy a ticket to come in?"
Tong Tiezhu almost found a crack in the ground to get into, his master is really incomparable, there are friends with martial arts, there are tea drinkers, and I haven't heard of anyone knocking melon seeds and drinking drinks on this occasion...... Is this a battle, or is it a picnic in the martial arts hall, and I won't wait for a while to see that I am happy and then sprinkle a handful of melon seeds outside for a reward...... Tong Tiezhu wanted to take the door away, which was too embarrassing.
"That ......" Lu Tiancheng took his eyes off Ye Shu, trying not to let himself get angry, and warned himself that his mentality must be stable at this time.
"Master Tong, the rules have been clarified, when do you think you can start despising it?"
"Anytime. Tong Tiezhu replied angrily.
"Okay, then Lu will teach Master Tong's kung fu today. Lu Tiancheng stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture and invited Tong Tiezhu to come down, and this courtyard was the venue for their competition.
"Come on, then. Tong Tiezhu took off his shirt and threw it to Tong Yutong, then walked to the courtyard with two movements and posed.
"Then offend. Lu Tiancheng clenched his fists with both hands and also made a starting gesture.
"Wait a minute!" Just as the two were about to start, a voice came from the crowd in the east, and then a woman pushed away the people around her and walked to the front.
Suddenly a shouting "pause" came out, which made Ye Shu very surprised, the woman who shouted he saw when he entered the hospital just now, because she was too "outstanding", not because she was beautiful or ugly, her appearance was mediocre, but her figure was prominent, tall and strong, she was simply the female version of Tong Black Bear, among a group of men, she was a little "standing out". Ye Shu originally thought that she was just a disciple of the Lu family, but now that she dares to come out to speak, it is estimated that she is also a little bit of a source. Ye Shu is very similar to asking who she is, but unfortunately she doesn't know who to ask, after all, this is someone else's territory, and she doesn't have her own acquaintances, so she has no place to inquire if she wants to.
When Lu Tiancheng saw the woman shouting, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he reprimanded: "Nonsense, retreat." ”
"No!" The woman walked up to Lu Tiancheng in a few steps, pushed Lu Tiancheng aside, put on a posture, and planned to go on her own, "Two days ago, because I was negligent, I was punched by him, and today I must win it back in person, otherwise I won't be able to swallow this breath." ”
"Go back!" Lu Tiancheng's face was almost blue, he wanted to find an explanation for his daughter's anger, and the "melon-eating crowd" who had food and drink on the opposite side made him very unhappy, and now his daughter even picked out the bad things, so it was okay.
The one who came out to interrupt the competition was Lu Luoyi, who had been injured by Tong Tiezhu's punch, and now on this occasion, she wanted to find her way back on the field, "I'm not leaving, I'm the owner of the martial arts hall, why should I fight? Have you forgotten the fate of those who competed with me before?"
The woman who had just read out the rules of the competition spoke again, "The Lu family quickly determines the candidates for the next game, and the others will leave immediately." Unlike just now, at this time, some anger appeared on her face.
"You go back right away. Lu Tiancheng ordered his daughter.
"No! I must defeat him with my own hands. Lu Luoyi was very persistent, seeing that her father was going to get angry, she was not fighting with Lu Tiancheng to fight for me, but directly took the lead and turned around and hit Tong Tiezhu. I've already done it, what else can you rob me of?
"You ......" Lu Tiancheng was put on a stand by his daughter, and stomped his feet angrily, but there was no way, in order to show fairness, he found a respected referee himself, who could justifiably ask for an explanation, but now it is good, smart but clever mistaken, but he restrained himself, and he couldn't replace his daughter, so he could only give his daughter the enemy on the side, thinking that his daughter had already obtained his true biography, it should be no problem to deal with a policeman, and the last miss was purely an accident.
There was already a fight on the field, but it was not a fight, because it was only Lu Luoyi who did it, and Tong Tiezhu did not fight back, but just kept dodging. It seems that he is very reluctant to fight with his subordinates again, isn't this a slap in the face of his own kung fu, which makes Lu Tiancheng very annoyed. It's just that when Lu Tiancheng saw Tong Tiezhu's dodging steps, his heart was cold, and he silently sweated for his daughter. Tong Tiezhu's dodging steps are very ingenious, every time he dodges, he only needs one step to dodge the attack, fortunately, his footwork is not coherent, otherwise he will be invincible with this footstep alone.
