"I see."

Chen Mu showed a hint of abruptness.

In these years, if there is a chance to improve, it will naturally lead people to break their heads, and older errand soldiers like Liu Song and Li Tie may not be interested, and they don't feel that they can practice any more kung fu when their energy and physical strength decline, but the younger ones naturally have the dream of soaring to the sky and rising to the top.

However, Chen Mu is not very interested in this, on the one hand, there is a systematic existence, even no matter how clever a martial artist is, he can't compare, on the other hand, Ren Yan himself has just begun to learn, how can he have any ability to guide others, even if he really learns some skills, can he teach others, it is another matter, teaching people and practicing by himself are two different things.

If you want to rely on Ren Yan and ask him for two points of guidance, what kind of kung fu can you practice, that is undoubtedly a fantasy.

But in this world, there is always a little hope, and some people rush to it.

"Chen Er, at your age, if you have the opportunity to practice swords, maybe you can also practice something, we don't have any ideas at this age, why don't you go over and take a look?"

Li Tie smiled at Chen Mu and spoke.

Chen Mu shook his head and said, "Kung Fu is so easy to learn, if you don't practice it well, it's no different from ordinary loose hands." ”

In the past, he didn't know much about real martial arts skills, but now that he has mastered his sword skills, he still understands a lot, at least the level of 'entry', compared with the horizontal and vertical slashing of the loose hand, the gap is actually not very big, even if it is a little stronger than the loose hand, but the real actual combat fight, the sword has no eyes, and it hurts when it is rubbed, and life and death are still unpredictable.

At least you have to practice to a small level, which can be regarded as a certain level.

And to practice to Xiaocheng, it generally takes one or two years of kung fu, if the talent is a little worse, it is possible for several years, although he does not know what Ren Yan's talent is, but to get to this point, it is still a relatively distant thing for the time being.

"Hehe, it's true that kung fu is not so easy to practice."

Liu Song also said with a smile, he is old, and he knows that some people who have studied martial arts in the inner city martial arts hall have practiced for a year or two, and they do have some level after they come out, but there are more people who are hacked to death by random knives, and the difference is not very big.

The conversation of several people was not loud, and it was inconspicuous in the corner of the noisy courtyard, but Ren Yan, who was surrounded by everyone in the middle and was boasting, noticed Chen Mu when Chen Mu entered the courtyard.

Although it was a little far away, I couldn't hear what Chen Mu, Liu Song and the others said specifically, but with a few words and mouth shapes, I could distinguish a little, and I was suddenly a little unhappy.

Chen Mu is the youngest of the nine city guards besides him, but several times he invited Chen Mu to drink together, Chen Mu refused, and never gave him face, which also made him very unhappy in his heart, thinking that Chen Mu was bullying him for his young age.

Now

The family was lucky, and there was an opportunity to arrange for him to go to the martial arts hall to learn swordsmanship, after the news spread, the officers in this courtyard were looking for him to get close, flattering, even those older officers, who smiled more at him, only Chen Mu didn't come over as soon as he entered the courtyard, and there was no respect in his eyes.

At that time, Ren Yan was unhappy for a while, but on the surface, he walked a few steps to Chen Mu's side with a smile, and said: "Brother Chen said that kung fu practice is not good, it is no different from Sanshou, I have only been learning for a few days, why don't you ask Brother Chen for advice?" ”

Chen Mu was naturally not interested in fighting with Ren Yan for anything, not to mention that Ren Yan was younger than him, and for him who was a human being in two lives, he could be regarded as a child, so he shook his head and said: "It's just a layman saying some jokes, Brother Ren Yan can have this opportunity, and if he practices a knife technique in the future, he will naturally rise to the top." ”

That's like human talk.

Ren Yan's face looked a little better, nodded at Chen Mu, and turned to laugh and talk with other poor people.

In the future, he wants to learn the knife technique, rise to the top, and be a bad leader, or even a bad character, there is really no need to be more serious with Chen Mu as an ordinary errand servant, I heard that Chen Mu's family is still very poor, and he will not be a person of the same level in the future.

Many poor people in the courtyard didn't talk much about the short exchange between Chen Mu and Ren Yan, they only smiled, only some younger poor people, secretly looked at Chen Mu, and felt that Chen Mu didn't understand the opportunity, and didn't take advantage of the opportunity to tie up with Ren Yan now, and when Ren Yan got up in the future and really became the leader, where would he pay attention to them?

But no one will remind Chen Mu of anything, anyway, everyone has their own ambitions, and they are willing to be a lifelong errand with those old errand servants, and there is nothing to say about living at the bottom.

Even Liu Song and Li Tie didn't say anything.

It's just that both of them were a little surprised, because they were more familiar with Chen Mu, and knew that Chen Mu was cautious in his daily life, but he should have some ambition in his heart, but he didn't expect it to be so dull today, maybe he encountered something, and suddenly he figured it out, and he was willing to live an ordinary life?

Actually, it's good.

If they don't have any ambitions, then they won't do anything risky, no matter how poor these low-level servants are, at least they can live in peace, without lack of food, and it is a job that can be done until they are old.

"Okay, it's time to go on a patrol, otherwise Qin Tou will see that he will be trained."

Liu Song finished drinking the bitter tea and stood up to greet Chen Mu and Li Tie.

"Okay."

Chen Mu drank half of the tea, got up, and went out of the courtyard with Li Tie and Liu Song to patrol.

With the three of them taking the lead, the other errands in the courtyard quickly dispersed in twos and threes, but many people looked at Chen Mu's departing back and shook their heads secretly.

……

Jiutiaoli is not small, and the most prosperous street is also lined with restaurants and people.

The patrols of Chen Mu, Liu Song, Li Tie and others were basically just patrolling around the more prosperous and important streets and alleys, and their purpose was only to deter some ruffians and hooligans, so that they would not cause trouble in the lively restaurants and markets in broad daylight.

After all, many restaurants and markets, in addition to giving silver to the local gang forces every month, will also send silver to the city guard, not seeking the protection of the city guard, but at least the face needs to be passable.

Of course.

This silver could not flow into the hands of Chen Mu's low-level servants at all.

Basically, they were taken by the errands, and then the undergraduates were divided into some each.

After a grin around, Liu Song somehow became interested, so he pulled Li Tie and Chen Mu to the restaurant for a drink, but after being rejected by Chen Mu, he finally changed to drinking tea.

Although in this world, it is nothing for the errand to go to the restaurant to drink two glasses openly, even if he is unlucky and is met by a bad man, at most he will be reprimanded twice, and it will not really be anything, but Chen Mu has always been cautious, and would rather be patient than make mistakes, so as not to fall into any tricks, after all, if he is really caught a typical example and makes a big fuss, there is no reason.

As soon as Chen Mu said that, Li Tie also felt that it was reasonable, and Liu Song was not reluctant, and several people came to the restaurant, and under the flattery of the restaurant's junior nod, they sat down next to the window, and then ordered a pot of tea, and asked for a plate of peanuts and fennel beans.

While eating and chatting.

But I heard a commotion outside.

Chen Mu turned his head sideways to look out the window, and saw a group of people fighting not far away, causing passers-by to retreat.

One of the groups was obviously defeated, and they were beaten and retreated, and together with some hawkers on the side of the road who could not collect their stalls, they were also beaten in the chaos, and they did not know who was beaten and who was robbed, in short, it was a mess.

Despite this, whether it was Chen Mu, Liu Song, Li Tie and others, the three messengers sat in the restaurant and watched from afar, but none of them got up to take care of it, they only drank tea and watched.

It's all too common.

Generally speaking, as long as it does not involve roadside restaurants and pawn shops, it is just fighting in the streets and alleys, basically it doesn't matter, unless someone dies in broad daylight, then the city health department may deal with it.

What's more, whether it was Chen Mu, Liu Song and the others, they could see at a glance that the two groups of people who fought were gang forces, and the servants of the city guards would not interfere in this kind of fighting.

"I'm afraid this Black Snake Gang is going to fail."

Liu Song squinted at the fight in the distance, and recognized the identity of the group of people who were retreating.

"Oh? How does this mean? ”

Li Tie ate a fennel bean, looked at it a little strangely, and said: "Didn't the Black Snake Gang say that there are hundreds of people, and there are a lot of good players in the gang, and they have been in full swing in the past year." ”

Chen Mu also looked at Liu Song and waited for the following.

He also knows about the Black Snake Gang, which belongs to the more powerful gangs in the nine, and even the street where he lives and the neighboring ones belong to the Black Snake Gang, and they will come to collect the so-called 'security money' every month.

Of course, for him as a serious errand servant, the Black Snake Gang does not come to ask for it, and every time those gangs see him, they will nod.

"Hey, you don't know? The Black Snake Gang had a big disaster not long ago, the gang leader was seriously injured, and several incense owners below also died of dead and wounded injuries, and now I am afraid that it will not last for a few days. ”

"Look at that gang chasing and fighting, I remember it was called the Chijin Gang, a few months ago it was unknown, and now it is said that it has annexed a lot of territory of the Black Snake Gang, I don't think it will be long before it will replace the entire Black Snake Gang."

Liu Song smiled, took a sip of tea and said.

Li Tie listened to Liu Song's words, and couldn't help but be slightly moved, and said, "So the Black Snake Gang is finished?" The leader of the Black Snake Gang is a great character, I heard that the pistol technique is like a poisonous snake, and he is a character who has practiced gun momentum, and he has killed dozens of people with one shot. ”

Not only Li Tie, but even Chen Mu had an impression of the leader of the Black Snake Gang, because the other party once came to the City Guard Division for one thing to mention someone, and at that time, it was the poor head above him, who couldn't suppress the other party, and finally it was the messenger who came out and gave an explanation in person.
