Chapter 1 Righteousness and Courage
It's New Year's Day again, and at this time, the people of the city always party at night, and the neon lights reflect the fine snow on the ground, flashing the most charming colors of the winter night.
"Yo, I haven't been back for so long, the roads in the city have been paved one after another, but there is no change here." A young man smiled and sighed, then sighed into the palm of his hand and wrapped his coat tighter. Some of the degummed winter boots stepped on the slightly melted snow on the ground, making a crisp "click" sound all the way.
Finally, the young man stopped at an unopened Canglang restaurant.
He looked up at the old signboard and smiled lightly: "Happy New Year, I'm back." ”
No one answered him, and no one came out of the closed door of the restaurant, but the young man still smiled easily. He bent down, took the key from his pocket, opened the old iron door with a "clang", and stepped lightly inside.
It was small and dark, and he turned on the light switch behind the door, and the bulb flickered several times before finally coming on.
"Hey......" The young man put the bag on the table casually and stretched.
At this moment, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Lao Li, every time you come back on time, I almost fell asleep."
Li Tang looked back and saw a man with messy hair coming in from under the half-hidden iron door, still carrying two bowls of hot noodles and two cans of beer.
"Ouch, I'm sorry to disturb your dreams." Li Tang took the food with a smile and put it on the table, "Hey, let a big star get up in the middle of the night to bring me food, I really feel a little sorry for it." ”
"Come on, where do you look a little embarrassed." The man scratched at his brown hair and pouted, looking aggrieved.
"By the way, Liu Ming, you just ran out like this, and the deputy head of your family didn't say anything?" Li Tang raised his eyebrows and asked.
"What's wrong with that? It's not like I came out to meet my lover privately or something, Liu Bing won't call me like you! Liu Ming glanced at Li Tang, sat opposite him naturally, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
"How? Did this contest go well? Li Tang asked with a smile, "I heard that the people of the Light Wind Pavilion are quite arrogant this time, which of your three major martial arts factions won the championship?" ”
Liu Ming sighed and said: "Don't mention it, the new kid is crazy, I don't even bother to pay attention to him, in this year's martial arts competition, it was the person who dominated the boxing hall who won the first, the Qingfeng Pavilion second, and we were the third this time." ”
"Yo, it's rare, in the past five years, it's the first time that Baquan has won the championship, it seems that Lao Lin still has two hits." Li Tang took a sip of wine and said.
Liu Ming glanced at him and snorted, "You don't know how violent Lin Xi is?" Looking at his weak appearance, he is really not soft at all! ”
"So, he's abusing you this time?"
"Get out!"
Li Tang smiled and nodded: "It seems that this is the case, but your three major martial arts factions are really powerful, since the beginning of the martial arts competition, the champions have been rotated in your hands, and the second and third have not been grabbed by other martial arts factions, which is amazing." ”
Liu Ming said: "Come on, this is also because you didn't join the martial faction, if you come, will we still have to mess around?" But then again, your kung fu is so high, why don't you consider joining a martial arts faction to give it a try? ”
Li Tang shook his head and said, "I'm not interested, I have been wronged wherever I go." ”
"Damn!" Liu Ming said indignantly, "How do you speak, could it be that our Divine Sword Sect will wronged you?" Funny, one of the three major martial arts factions in the country! ”
"So what? I'm still not interested......"
"Damn......" Liu Ming snorted at Li Tang and continued to eat beef noodles.
At this time, there was a burst of screams outside the door, and Liu Ming, who was born to join in the fun, immediately ran out to take a look, it turned out that there were unscrupulous elements who wanted to take advantage of the national carnival to rob women in a dark corner.
"Ouch, this strong man really picked a good place to commit murder, uncle, I really can't see death without help!" Liu Ming rolled up his sleeves and rushed out.
Li Tang inside sighed and followed.
But then Li Tang regretted it, and when he followed Liu Ming to the deep alley, he found that there were more than a dozen gangsters standing there, and each of them was tall and big, and it didn't look so easy to deal with. Liu Ming was about to rush over, but was pulled back into the corner by Li Tang.
"What are you dragging me for? It's not like we can't do so much. Liu Ming said anxiously.
"Let's take a look first, and only by taking it by surprise can we win." Li Tang said leisurely.
"Hand over the money!" One of the strong men said.
The woman timidly asked, "...... you Is it really just about asking for money? ”
"Or else? Robbery? The robber asked rhetorically.
"Isn't it?" Liu Ming was also stunned.
The woman silently took a hundred dollars from her pocket and handed it to the robber.
"It's only a hundred?" The robber glared at the woman in front of him, "Nothing else?" ”
"I didn't ...... There is no ......" The woman looked at the knife in the robber's hand, couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and knelt on the ground, "Uncles, I still have to keep my money to support the family, don't kill me, are you good at robbing?" Don't take my money! ”
"I'll go," Liu Ming sighed, "There are a lot of excellent products these years." ”
Li Tang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Well, we can almost go up and help, and when we go over there, the robber's face is facing away from us." ”
"Okay."
After saying that, the two quietly slipped behind.
Just as the robbers were about to go up and get a knife to slash, Liu Ming kicked one of the robbers to the ground with a flying leg, and then rolled over to avoid the attack and picked up the knife that fell to the ground, and confronted the robbers head-on.
Li Tang didn't help much on the side, just smiled happily, and praised him from time to time.
"Yo, this is a beautiful time!"
"Wow, Lao Liu, you have made such great progress!"
"Left, left, left! Leg sweep! Ay! Pretty! ”
After knocking all the strong men to the ground, Liu Ming cast a resentful look at Li Tang.
"You're really watching the excitement, it's not a big deal!" Liu Ming huffed.
"Seeing that you are still comfortable fighting this group alone, I can't bear to destroy your battlefield." Li Tang casually picked up a stone on the ground and flew behind Liu Ming.
Liu Ming turned around and saw a strong man lying on the ground, covering his left eye and screaming.
"Don't worry, I've called the police, I'll be there later." Li Tang glanced at the woman next to him and said, "Also, this young lady, in the future, at night, don't leave the crowd alone, so as not to be killed." ”
The woman was grateful, and thanked again and again: "Thank you, thank you!" ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it should be!" Liu Ming shook his hair and smiled happily.
The woman raised her head, and at this time the fireworks burst into the air, and the colored light instantly illuminated the dark alley, and the woman saw Liu Ming's appearance clearly, and exclaimed in surprise: "You are!" Are you the head of that Excalibur Gate? Liu Ming?! ”
Liu Ming let out a "uh" and glanced at Li Tang. Li Tang pretended not to see it, coughed a few times and walked to the side.
Liu Ming ...... Could it be ......" The robber who fell to the ground also showed a frightened expression.
"Wow! What a Liu Ming! The woman had forgotten what she had just experienced, and looked at the sunny and white man in front of her with admiration and admiration, "I'm a fan of the Divine Sword Gate, Master Liu, can you sign for me?" ”
Liu Ming grinned stiffly, there was no way, so he had to agree.
After the name was signed, the police also arrived, and brought the victims and robbers back to the police station for questioning, Li Tang and Liu Ming were unanimously praised by the police, especially Liu Ming, and even the police officers wanted to take a photo with him.
"It is worthy of being one of the three major martial arts factions, the head of the Divine Sword Sect, this kind of righteous and courageous act is really admirable." The sheriff exclaimed, "The friend in charge is also a decent man, thank you so much for tonight's incident." ”
The reporters who followed on the side also wrote something non-stop.
"Where is the ......" Liu Ming wanted to cry without tears, this tomorrow's headline is definitely this, how to explain to Liu Bing when he goes back? said that he came out to eat supper, but it turned out to be righteous and brave with friends, these reporters may also exaggerate, saying that he has a messy relationship with Li Tang, and he was actually with a big man on New Year's Eve, or a man other than Liu Bing, hey, it's over, it's really head-scratching.
Li Tang on the side was smiling lightly, as if all this had nothing to do with him. The surrounding reporters became more and more around, and some even began to ask about the relationship between the two of them directly.
Before Liu Ming could speak, Li Tang took the lead in saying: "This New Year's Festival, let's go back and have a good holiday, don't ask the east and west, the head and I just came out to buy some supper for the team, this supper is almost cold, let's go first, and we have to go back for training in the New Year!" ”
As soon as he said this, everyone thought that Li Tang was a member of the Divine Sword Sect, so they didn't ask anything more and slowly dispersed.
"Hey!" Liu Ming waited for those reporters to walk away, put his hand on Li Tang's shoulder with a smile, and said, "So, you want to come to our Divine Sword Gate?" ”
"I just want to get rid of those reporters, and just prevaricate in the past, don't take advantage of the fire." Li Tang glanced at Liu Ming and walked back.
Liu Ming immediately stopped him: "What's wrong with robbing while it's hot?" Over the years, have you done less of this kind of thing? Anyway, those reporters are gone, and I don't need to be questioned, so it's not impossible to take a master like you to our faction while the fire is hot! ”
Li Tang smiled: "There is no problem with the reporter, but what about Liu Bing?" Don't forget, this is going to make headlines, and that's what you said......"
After speaking, Li Tang patted Liu Ming's shoulder and walked away.
Liu Ming, who was stunned in place, couldn't help but scold: "Slut." ”
