Chapter Twenty-Three: Ling Xiangshan's Choice
After a few days of comfortable life, Chen Xu got a list of [Martial Halls] under the command of Deputy Pavilion Master Xu from an insider who could not be named.
Immediately, he received an anonymous report letter from a righteous person, including but not limited to "the owner of a martial arts hall supports a second wife", "a martial arts hall maliciously charges additional fees", and "a coach surnamed Li of a martial arts hall coercs underage students to engage in multi-person sports".
Chen Xu called himself the "Pioneer of Justice", "Moral Light", and "Unsung Hero under the Night" in Jinning County, and he must not allow the scum in such martial arts halls to continue to be free, and buy a set of nocturnal justice uniforms overnight, punish the traitors, eliminate evil, rob the rich and help the poor.
The time for the Jinning Martial Arts Hall Exchange Conference is getting closer and closer, but many martial arts halls are frequently stolen, and the hall owners and coaches are beaten half to death, so that everyone in the martial arts hall is in danger, and no one knows whether all this is a loss of humanity or a loss of morality.
The outskirts of Jinning County.
"It's so late, what's the matter with me?" The stout black-robed man walked into the wasteland and took off his hood.
"After being the deputy pavilion master for so many years, have you even forgotten your original identity?" A man reclined on the tree, his tone full of ridicule.
"Naturally, I won't forget, Ling can be where he is today, and he is indeed grateful to the organization." Ling Xiangshan's expression was unwavering, as if nothing had happened, and it was worth his more look.
"In just a few decades, the martial arts have declined to this point, and the glory of the past is like a cloud of smoke, which is really sighing."
A harrier rolled over, and the man in the tree, also covered in black robes, jumped to the ground.
"The development of science and technology is too fast, and decades of penance are no match for firearms, so it is inevitable." Ling Xiangshan's tone was flat, and it was difficult to hear what he was really thinking.
"Hmph, martial arts have a long history, how can it be compared to decades of science and technology." The black-robed man gritted his teeth, "Wait for us to sweep away the Great Abyss and create a new era of martial arts." ”
"This action is for us to recuperate for decades, announce our return to Dayuan again, and let the dog emperor wash his neck and wait!"
Ling Xiangshan was silent for a moment and asked, "How to act?" ”
"The goal is very simple, our goal is just to kill the Jinning County Wuge Pavilion Lord and the County Keeper in front of everyone in the exchange competition.
In order to ensure the success rate, there will be new [childish] powerhouses to suppress the formation. ”
Hearing the word "childish", Ling Xiangshan's expression changed greatly.
"Child? There is a strong person of that level, and it is indeed nine times out of ten. ”
Childish means young, immature children, and in the organization, it symbolizes the most powerful group of martial artists, but it describes their martial arts that have returned to their roots.
Because of the decline of martial arts in recent years, the difficulty of promotion at all levels in the organization has been reduced a lot, and the strength of the newly promoted [Childish] powerhouses is far inferior to those old [Childish] powerhouses, but at least they are also the top ones at the [Martial Form] level, which is by no means comparable to the old martial artist in Jinning County.
"After the success of this operation, your decades of undercover career can finally come to an end, hard work."
The black-robed man gently patted Ling Xiangshan on the shoulder, and said with envy: "After the end, the organization will provide a breakthrough pill as a reward, if it goes well, I should also call you an adult in the future."
Also, here's your antidote for the year. ”
"I don't dare to be such an adult." Ling Xiangshan took the antidote and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Since there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first?
As the deputy pavilion master of the Martial Pavilion, I can't leave for too long. ”
"Be careful all the way."
The black-robed man looked at Ling Xiangshan's departing back, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "Brother Ling, I haven't seen you for so many years, although you try your best to hide it, but as your former best friend......"
Looking up at the starry sky: "I can feel that you have changed a lot, I hope you don't do stupid things." ”
Discarding the black robe, Ling Xiangshan didn't rush back in the direction of Wuge immediately for some reason, but swayed slowly on the street.
Stopping from time to time to watch all kinds of pedestrians, Ling Xiangshan subconsciously wanted to take out a cigarette and take a puff.
When he touched his pocket, he remembered that he had promised his wife to quit smoking.
The old man who smiles every day comes to mind, often throwing official duties to him and the surname Xu, and he always runs out in various names, such as an old friend looking for him to play chess, and taking care of his granddaughter.
Thinking of the near future, he would watch the old man fight to the death in the county he guarded, and there would be people killed by the warriors in the organization who regarded human life as a mustard, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.
Twenty years ago, he came to Jinning County with nothing, and twenty years later, the thing called the bond had taken root in his heart.
The familiar melody sounded in his ears, Ling Xiangshan took out his mobile phone, the ringtone was his wife's favorite music, originally he didn't like to listen to these love things, but under the influence of his wife, he could accept a lot.
"Hey, hey, is it Daddy?" The immature child's voice came out of the mobile phone, and Ling Xiangshan looked left and right and walked to the side of the road.
"Xiao An, what time is it, why haven't you slept yet?"
Xiao An didn't expect to wait at home for a long time, but it was actually this kind of reply, and he suddenly cried a little: "Dad, what about celebrating my birthday today?" ”
Ling Xiangshan's voice paused slightly, he had been thinking about how to curb the development of the Xu family for the past two days, and he was suddenly contacted by the organization, and the whole person was so busy that he didn't know where he forgot about his birthday.
"Uh...... Xiao An, dad has something to do today, will I make it up for you tomorrow, the big cake is ready, and I will bring it back tomorrow. ”
"I don't!" Xiao An's categorical child's voice came out, "I promised, obviously Dad, you also taught me not to lie." ”
Hearing the voice of his wife comforting the child on the other end of the phone, Ling Xiangshan leaned against the wall and pondered, whether their operation was successful or not, they would inevitably be hit by Dayuan's strong blow, and it was impossible for anyone to agree to escape with two burdens.
If the [childish] strong man who came belonged to the faction that was extreme in martial arts, he would even let him kill his wife and daughter with his own hands.
That faction felt that anything that had nothing to do with the martial arts was an obstacle that affected the progress of the martial arts and needed to be cut off.
And feelings happen to be the last thing they think they need.
"Xianggong, Xiao An is tired of crying, and has fallen asleep, immediately Wuguan Dabi, I know that you have been busy lately, so I won't bother you much.
Remember to come back tomorrow to celebrate Xiao An's birthday, she is sleepy, and she has to wait for you. As she spoke, her wife laughed on the other end of the phone.
"You are the deputy pavilion master of the Martial Pavilion, you can't leave the impression of being untrustworthy in Xiao An's heart."
"Good!" Ling Xiangshan temporarily suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, and his voice became loud and heroic again.
"Tomorrow I will definitely give my two precious daughters an unforgettable birthday."
