Chapter 13, the Jiang family
Tang Shuo drove the red wrangler towards Fengshan after leaving the teahouse, and according to the address given by Wang Kai, the Jiang family is now at the foot of Fengshan.
Fengshan is located in Yanjiao, which has been a famous place to enjoy maple in China since ancient times, and is famous for the maple leaves that fill the mountain.
However, it is not the season for autumn foliage viewing, so the roads are not congested.
Arriving at the foot of Fengshan Mountain, Tang Shuo saw a luxurious private manor-style villa from a distance.
After seeing that the address on the door number matched the address given to him by Wang Kai, Tang Shuo directly parked the car in front of the main entrance of the villa.
As soon as he got out of the car, two men dressed in black walked over and looked at Tang Shuo vigilantly through the gate.
"What?" A slightly taller horse-faced man said to Tang Shuo. "You can't park here."
"This is the Jiang family, right?"
"Hmm." The man nodded and asked suspiciously, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”
"I'm looking for Jiang Hongtao." Tang Shuo replied. "Please tell him, just say that Tang Shuo has something to do with him."
The two men in black glanced at each other, and the slightly taller man said with a horse face: "You call and ask, otherwise we won't be able to let you go." ”
If Tang Shuo hadn't seemed to have a mental problem, they would have driven people out a long time ago.
Did Old Man Jiang say that he could see it when he saw it?
The two of them are just two bodyguards, and they call the head of the house casually to ask about this kind of thing, don't they want jobs?
Tang Shuo took out his mobile phone and said, "You call me." ”
"Brother, you're not here to make trouble, are you?" The two bodyguards laughed angrily and said, "If there is nothing to do, hurry up, otherwise don't blame us for being polite." ”
"I'm really looking for someone, as long as you give me a notice, he will definitely come back to see me."
"You're determined to find trouble, aren't you?" The slightly shorter man spoke, "Hurry up." ”
Tang Shuo smiled bitterly: "How can I say that you are willing to believe it?" ”
"You're not leaving, are you?" The shorter man opened the side door on one side of the gate and said angrily, "It seems that I won't give you any hardship, you don't know how to turn back." ”
The slightly shorter man came out of the side door, walked directly to Tang Shuo's side, and reached out to grab Tang Shuo's neckline directly.
Tang Shuo avoided back, grabbed the other party's wrist directly, and said with a smile: "What is there to say, what to move?" ”
The shorter man was taken aback, obviously not expecting that this seemingly thin man would be able to avoid him, and it seemed that he would be caught easily.
He is a veteran scout, and his single-handed kung fu is definitely not something that ordinary people can stop.
The short man sneered and said, "It turns out that there are two hits, but you dare to come to the Jiang family to make trouble?" ”
Immediately, the short man's backhand punch slashed directly at Tang Shuo's face, and his other hand was still controlled by Tang Shuo, this move was both a meritorious enemy and a self-help.
Tang Shuo shook his head, he had already seen that this man should be from the military, this set of military physical boxing was quite good, obviously he had worked hard.
But the traces of the routine are too heavy, and if you really want to really fight the enemy, you can't get any cheap at all.
Before the short man's fist could be struck, Tang Shuo had already kicked him in the lower abdomen, and then the short man retreated.
Tang Shuo didn't come to fight from the Jiang family, so naturally he couldn't hurt the bodyguards of the other party's family, so this kick didn't use any strength at all.
Seeing this, the slightly taller horse-faced man also walked out of the side door, looked at Tang Shuo and said, "Brother is really here to find trouble?" ”
"No, no." Tang Shuo shook his head and said, "I told you that I was here to find someone, why don't you believe it?" ”
How could a tall man believe Tang Shuo's words at this time? He clenched his fists and rushed straight over.
Tang Shuo sighed, and thought to himself: It seems that it will not work if you don't fight today, so you can only break in.
The tall man ran to Tang Shuo's side and smashed directly into Tang Shuo's face with a punch.
Tang Shuo smiled, blocking the opponent's fist with one hand, and hitting the tall man's abdomen with the other hand.
Then he rushed to the short man, who was about to come up and make a move, and with a false fist, a palm knife slashed at the short man's neck, and the short man fell to the ground.
Immediately, Tang Shuo swaggered in through the side door.
…………
Wang Kai, who had just stopped the car opposite the villa, looked at Tang Shuo's back as he entered the door in a daze, although he had witnessed Tang Shuo's behavior, he still felt that he seemed to be hallucinating at this moment.
He has been in Yanjing for so many years, and it is the first time he has heard that someone dares to directly enter the Jiang family.
If this Tang Shuo has no mental problems, then he will definitely have something to rely on.
It's just that who the hell is this guy, who dares to be so presumptuous?
…………
The front yard of the villa occupies a large area and is full of carefully arranged flowers.
Tang Shuo had just walked a few steps when an old man in Tang costume who was trimming flowers and plants on the side of the main road of the villa stopped in front of him.
"Isn't this way of coming, young man, a little inappropriate?" The old man in Tang costume put aside the big scissors in his hand and looked at Tang Shuo with a grim face. "Seeing that your skills are good, let me teach you two tricks."
"I ......"
Tang Shuo just wanted to apologize, but before he finished speaking, the old man in Tang costume stood on tiptoe and rushed towards Tang Shuo very quickly.
Seeing the old man's figure, Tang Shuo's face changed, and he solemnly observed the old man's actions.
Just by the old man's footwork, Tang Shuo could see that this was the famous 'Baguazhang'.
And the old man in front of him is undoubtedly a master of national arts.
Guoshu belongs to Chinese martial arts, but it is different from Chinese martial arts.
Martial arts that only kill the enemy and do not perform can be called national arts.
The old man was like a swimming dragon, despite his age, his steps were calm and elegant, and there was no trace of old age at all, he rushed to Tang Shuo's side and picked up his arm and slashed directly at Tang Shuo's chest.
The bent arm didn't seem to have any strength, but Tang Shuo knew that there was a lot of way in it.
Any move in the Bagua palm hides a killing intention, and although the old man's arm is curved like a bow, its power is endless.
Tang Shuo didn't take the old man's trick by force, and hurriedly took two steps back to avoid it.
In fact, in addition to avoiding it, Tang Shuo has many ways to crack this trick, but it is inevitable that he will make physical contact with the old man to counter violence with violence.
But he didn't mean to hurt the old man at all, and he could see that the old man didn't do his best at all.
"Not bad."
Seeing Tang Shuo avoid, the old man nodded appreciatively, but his feet did not stop, his body turned one hundred and eighty degrees in place, with his waist as the axis, he used this twisting force to cross the palm of his hand, and the whole person was flexible like an ape.
He used to be Jiang Hongtao's personal guard, and after Jiang Hongtao abdicated, he followed him and stayed in Jiang's house.
Nowadays, he rarely goes out, and every day except for boxing is fiddling with flowers.
Seeing the conflict between this young man and the Jiang family's bodyguards, he felt that this young man was not simple, and he was happy when he saw the hunt for a while, and he couldn't help but want to fight the other party.
At this moment, a group of black-clothed people rushed over with a menacing attitude, looking at the two who were fighting with a wary face.
Some of them have even put their hands in their clothes, making it easy to imagine what is hidden under them.
"What now?" A man in black looked at a man in front of him who was about fifty years old and had a square face and asked.
"What about Zhang Jun and Li Xian?" The country-faced man frowned and asked. "Go and ask them what's going on."
The man in black who was the first to speak nodded, and ran directly towards the door of the villa with two people.
The country-faced man is called Lei Zhen, who is the security captain of the Jiang family, and is deeply respected by Jiang Hongtao.
He received a notice that someone had broken into Jiang's house and immediately rushed out with someone, but he didn't expect that this strange man had already fought with Guan Lao.
Lei Zhen motioned to his subordinates to relax their vigilance, and then watched the fight between the two with confidence.
The strange man who broke in was injured and had no weapons, and Guan Lao's skills he knew best, in his opinion, there was no suspense at all about winning or losing this fight.
It's just that the only thing he has some doubts about is what this strange man's intentions are.
After a while, the man in black ran over and said to Lei Zhen: "This guy is here to find the master, but he didn't make an appointment." Zhang Jun and Li Xian thought they were here to make trouble, so they started to do it. ”
"Did he say who he was? What's the matter. Lei Zhen asked.
"It seems to be called Tang Shuo."
Lei Zhen thought about it for a long time, but still felt that he had no impression of the name Tang Shuo, and after hesitating again and again, he said: "You go and tell the master, just say that there is a young man named Tang Shuo who wants to see him." ”
…………
Tang Shuo dodged the old man's punch again, and hurriedly took two steps back and said, "I'm here to find Old Man Jiang, and there is no malice." ”
The old man snorted coldly and said, "Let's take my two tricks first." ”
At first, the old man just had the mentality of having fun, and wanted to play tricks with this young man and move his muscles.
But when the two fought for a while, the old man's heart no longer had the previous contempt.
At the moment it looks as if he has the upper hand and is holding down his opponents, leaving them to defend passively.
But the old man knew in his heart that in fact, this young man had been letting him. The two fought for a long time, but he hadn't even touched the corners of each other's clothes.
It is said that you should stop your anger when you are old, but as a martial artist, especially a martial artist who practices Baguazhang, if you don't even have a little anger, what kind of martial arts do you practice?
The old man had already made up his mind to compete with the young man.
Tang Shuo knew that there was enough time, presumably Jiang Hongtao should have already come to the door by himself, shook his head and said to the old man: "Old man, I'm sorry." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Shuo turned defense into offense, and with the palm that the old man slashed over, he smashed directly into the past with a punch.
After the fists and palms intersected, the old man was like a kite with a broken string, and was instantly bounced out.
Barely standing firmly, the old man looked at his palm in surprise, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this strength?" ”
"Yes." Tang Shuo admitted.
"I didn't lose this competition." The old man closed his eyes, nodded and said, "I didn't expect you to practice strength at such a young age." ”
The reason why the old man was bounced off just now was because of the release of the energy in Tang Shuo's body.
The strength is somewhat similar to the internal strength in martial arts novels, but it is different from the appearance described in the novel, the role of internal strength in the novel is infinitely exaggerated, in fact, the strength does not have the power to open mountains and split rocks at all.
However, if the energy is released, it is still easy to shatter the opponent's internal organs.
According to Tang Shuo's master, the old lame, Tang Shuo will practice internal strength, in addition to the two Taoist exercises "Taiqing Qi Regulating Sutra" and "Pull-up Technique", Tang Shuo's natural physique also has a crucial reason.
Tang Shuo seems to be no different from ordinary people, but in fact, the temperature in his body since he was a child is two or three degrees higher than that of ordinary people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, ordinary colds and fevers are all about wandering in front of the ghost gate for Tang Shuo.
There is no way to explain this symptom with the current level of medicine, and according to Master, his physique belongs to the 'Red Yang Body', which is rare among thousands of people...... There is no cure.
And his body is gradually deteriorating because of this reason.
Compared with the few cases recorded in ancient books, it is a miracle that Tang Shuo has survived until now.
In this regard, Tang Shuo didn't know whether he should be happy or depressed.
