Chapter 61: The Basement and the Corps
"Tai Chi gun? Tai Chi and guns? Hmm~ This one is kind of interesting! Tang Ye rubbed the slightly rough paper with his fingers, and then turned to the second page.
On the second page is a short introduction to the Tai Chi gun:
"The Tai Chi gun is a long instrument of Tai Chi. It is a routine created by the integration of marksmanship such as holding, piercing, splitting, pointing, plucking, and collapsing with Taijiquan boxing. ”
"Sure enough, it has something to do with Taijiquan...... Tang Ye said to himself while recalling the Chen's Taijiquan he learned in college.
From the title, Tang Ye can feel that this Tai Chi gun is fundamentally different from other marksmanship.
Other marksmanship is a move composed of swiftness and strong attack, while the Tai Chi gun is a skill that focuses on overcoming rigidity with softness and leveraging strength.
It sounded better than most marksmanship alone, but Tang Ye flipped back a little and saw the dense words on the book, he knew that this marksmanship was by no means so easy to cultivate.
Tang Ye didn't have too much to worry about this. On the contrary, the greater the difficulty, the more powerful this "Tai Chi gun" is.
As long as he spends enough time and energy, Tang Ye believes that any difficulty can be overcome slowly!
Without thinking much about it, Tang Ye calmed down and began to study carefully page by page, without letting go of a word. When encountering some complicated and incomplacent places, such as "Taishan presses eggs" and "rides a dragon", he will discount the book, planning to wait for Yang Ke to come back and discuss it with the other party.
Although Yang Ke uses a sword, he is a strong martial artist after all, and he has some understanding of marksmanship.
In the afternoon, Tang Ye studied "Raptor's Marksmanship" so intently, sometimes standing up and imagining himself holding a gun and doing it again according to the action posture on the illustration.
At the end of the afternoon, Tang Ye seemed to have opened the door to a new world, and his understanding of marksmanship was deeper than before, and at the same time, he also realized that he might have to spend the next few days in penance!
Practicing martial arts is a matter of tempering the body, and there is no way to grow without experiencing pain. But as long as you adjust your mindset and change the idea of "tolerating suffering" to "enjoying suffering," then the practice will become much easier.
In the evening, Tang Ye, who was tired of reading, was napping on the table, when suddenly, there was a "bang" sound from the window near the street.
Tang Ye woke up, turned his head to look at the windowsill, and was surprised to find that there was a figure squatting on the windowsill!
But upon closer inspection, he noticed that the man's face was so familiar.
His brows furrowed slightly, and Tang Ye said angrily: "If you don't leave the door, you have to climb the window, are you the reincarnation of an ape?" ”
Yang Ke jumped down from the windowsill, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked: "Maybe it's really as the lord said...... In short, the feeling of flying eaves and walking on the wall is still good, what does the lord think? ”
Looking at the cheap smile on Yang Ke's face, the corners of Tang Ye's mouth twitched slightly.
This guy is getting bolder. Knowing that he Tang Ye would not work lightly, he used this matter to ridicule him.
"With such courage and such a stinging person, is there any major gain that makes you think I won't scold you?" The smile on Tang Ye's face was a little more intimidating.
Yang Ke was slightly startled, and hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "The lord is really smart, just guess it!" ”
Oh, it's not that I'm smart, it's that you're too easy to understand. Of course, whether this "easy to understand" is pretending to be you, then I don't know.
Tang Ye thought secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he quietly poured a cup of tea for the other party and said, "Okay, take a break first, and then tell me what you have learned." ”
Yang Ke took the tea, drank it directly in two sips, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief while making an "ah~" sound.
Tang Ye looked at each other and resisted the urge to laugh and ask.
It wasn't until the other party slowed down for more than ten seconds that he gradually said with a serious expression: "Later, I followed the three carriages and found that they did not go back to Chen Feng's mansion, but drove directly into the city lord's mansion......"
"City Lord's Mansion?" The expression on Tang Ye's face was not too surprised, but he felt that he should take it for granted.
After all, Zhuge Gu and he had already guessed that Chen Feng had the support of the city lord behind him.
"You go on." Tang Ye said lightly.
Yang Ke cocked Erlang's leg and continued while pounding his right calf, which was a little sore, "It turns out that the city defense in the center of the power is really rubbish, and I easily infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion.
Then I saw that when the beggars who had been taken away were carried out of the carriage, they were all unconscious, and I did not know whether they were alive or dead.
But I guess it's just a coma, because the body of the dead is stiff, but the body of the living is relatively soft. Afterwards, these beggars were all carried into the central main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
The main hall is not easy to enter, after all, it is the place where the city lord stays, and the guards are still relatively strict. It's not a big problem for me though. ”
Yang Ke did not forget to blow a wave, and continued: "After entering the main hall, I saw that there was an entrance to the basement in the northwest corner of the main hall. The beggars were carried into the basement.
It's a pity that there is only a narrow entrance to the basement, and the entrance is guarded by more than a dozen soldiers, and every time you enter, you have to press the mechanism on the wall, and the stone door to the basement will open.
And in the process of opening the door, there will be a loud noise of friction. I waited a long time and couldn't get in, so I had no choice but to give up. ”
Hearing this, Tang Ye's brows couldn't help frowning: "What are you doing with the beggar in the basement, what shocking secrets are hidden in the basement?" ”
Yang Ke sighed helplessly: "The subordinates are incompetent, and they really can't enter." Or...... Try it next time I force my way in? ”
"Don't, don't, don't!" Tang Ye waved his hand again and again, and said a little nervously, "I don't know if it's okay inside, but if something happens to you, it will be more than worth the loss!" ”
Hearing this, Yang Ke's eyes moved slightly, and a touch of warmth appeared in Tang Ye's eyes.
Tang Ye didn't notice this, and continued:
"It's just that, just like this, we still can't conclude that Chen Feng and the city lord are doing bad things...... If the basement is a better environment for the beggars, then we don't need to disturb and destroy it......"
"No, things aren't what you think." Yang Ke spoke, with a sneer on his face, "I can't get into the basement, but I see ...... A corpse covered with a white cloth was lifted out of the basement! ”
"Corpses?!" Tang Ye let out a low sigh, with a slightly surprised but not particularly surprised expression on his face.
There are corpses, and they are one by one, which is enough to show that Chen Feng and the city lord are doing something that is not good for the beggars!
No wonder the system asked me to kill Chen Feng, there was really a special reason...... Tang Ye thought in his heart.
