Chapter 53: The Men See the Truth
After staring, no one spoke, the atmosphere was awkward and weird, if it wasn't for the edict of the Son of Heaven, everyone wouldn't be able to sit together for a few hundred years.
As the landlord, Yanzhou Taishou laughed, forcibly alleviated the embarrassment, and said to Nan Fansheng with a smile: "Master Nan is famous in Xizhou, and I have heard of it, I don't know why Taishou didn't come?"
"Taishou Feng Zhao went to the imperial capital to complain, and he has not returned yet, so he can only send me to serve as a façade, so that you can see and laugh" Nan Fansheng arched his hand, his speech was humble and moderate, and his demeanor was fully displayed.
After teasing Nan Fansheng, he went to ask the Taishou of the ancestral state: "Brother Ancestral Hall, you and I have not seen each other for many years, we are looking forward to returning to the imperial capital to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, I don't want time to be like a shuttle, I have stayed in Yanzhou for 20 years, we are all old!"
Yanzhou Taishou's eyes were originally small, and this squint, he couldn't even see the eyeballs, and he was full of sanctimoniousness.
After hearing this, the ancestral state Taishou knew that this fat dun was simply talking nonsense, modern society advocates equality and freedom, and only people with nervous problems want to be slaves, you are here Taishou, and when you return to the imperial capital, you are a worm, and you are not a general or a big man on the street, and after 5,000 years, I don't know how many ups and downs of the big family.
It's not appropriate to put the soil emperor, go back and lick your ass for others, there's something wrong!
"Hehe, Yan Taishou said and laughed, we are indeed old, and now it is the world of young people, and I also hope to be loyal to the Son of Heaven, but I am afraid that there is no such hope in my lifetime, and I will die in the ancestral state!"
"Reasonable, reasonable!" The two Taishou glanced at each other, Yanzhou Taishou even shouted that it made sense, and then pointed at each other and laughed, quite meaningful, full of intrigues!
In the end, he went to tease Haizhou Taishou and asked: "Hai Taishou, I recently heard that the noble girl was admitted to the Royal Academy and was able to further her studies, she must be a phoenix among people, envy me and wait!"
"Yan Taishou is well-informed enough, Xiucai doesn't go out and knows everything in the world, it's you!" Haizhou Taishou looks dull, has a rotten atmosphere, and speaks very politely, which is an allusion to Yanzhou Taishou sending spies to him.
"Brother Hai said and laughed, although we are far away from the imperial capital, isn't there still a TV, the noble lady's passionate speech on TV has you in three ways, it's really good!"
After all the teasing, the embarrassing atmosphere was relieved, and the meat scene came.
Yanzhou Taishou glanced at everyone again, then cleared his throat, and pretended to be solemn and said: "The Son of Heaven issued an edict to ask us to work together to quell the chaos, I don't know if you have any good ideas, put it forward for everyone to discuss!"
Nan Fansheng didn't speak, and Sun Dutong didn't speak, he didn't have the place to speak here, and the level was poor.
Ancestral Taishou is a master of Tai Chi, with his eyebrows lowered, his eyes and nose and nose and heart, and he does not express his opinions.
Only Haizhou Taishou had an upright personality, he was too lazy to pretend, and spoke directly: "Since my Taizu in the Taiyuan Empire, all rebellions are assassinated, and the people must not be disturbed, guns and cannons are only used for deterrence, and they are just cults, not a climate, we will choose a commander to integrate the special combat battalions in various states, concentrate the top masters, rush into Jinzhou in one go, and kill the cultists!"
Everyone knows this result, and it must be assassinated.
If you forcibly attack Jinzhou with guns and cannons, and in the end you will be left with a thousand holes and the people will be displaced, not to mention that the Son of Heaven will not spare you, the chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes can slaughter your whole family, and the great Confucian of the Manchu Dynasty can send his protégé to scold you and kill yourself!
"This commander must be full of prestige, extraordinary skills, and be able to suppress the unruly people to serve, my ancestral state martial arts alliance leader Jiang is born with high kung fu, and his reputation is more than ten states, and his prestige is immeasurable, and he is the commander candidate!"
"The ancestral hall is too stubborn to say this, my Yanzhou Qingyi League leader is obsessed with martial arts, his achievements are extremely good, there are few opponents in the world, he is the most suitable candidate!"
"The two Taishou are a little restless, attack and assassinate, and the combat strength alone is not caught, if there is someone who knows how to fight the battle array to command, sweeping away the cult is like probing for things, my Haizhou Cui Deyuan Alliance leader will not let it!"
The only one who didn't speak was Xizhou, and Sun Dutong also wanted to brag about himself, but was stopped by Nan Fansheng and didn't let him speak.
If anyone becomes the commander and succeeds in quelling the chaos, the reward of the Son of Heaven will naturally be a lot, maybe he can be promoted to a higher level, and he will return to the imperial capital to be an official like Jiuqing, and the three dukes should not think about it.
Don't look at these Taishou disdainful when they talk about returning to the imperial capital, that is, you have no future after you go back, you can only be a subordinate, if you enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven and rise to prominence, who doesn't want to go back?
Compared with the imperial capital, these places in Haizhou Ancestral Prefecture are ravines, even if you become the king of the mountain, you are just deceiving yourself.
To put it bluntly, Taishou are all officials who have been delegated, and they are not welcomed by the emperor, and they are exiled to remote areas and left to your own devices.
Some people do not give up, work hard to govern the territory, make achievements, and seek opportunities to transfer back to the imperial capital.
And after some people are decentralized, they directly cut off the idea of progress, and they are quite happy to be a soil emperor, and there is a difference between states.
In addition, the entire Taiyuan Empire inhibits the development of science and technology, especially weapons of mass destruction, missiles, nuclear bombs, artificial intelligence, satellites, etc., which are absolutely not allowed, except for the royal family, whoever destroys the nine clans, only the state officials are allowed to set fires and the people are not allowed to light lamps.
Science and technology can't go up, the standard of living has a limit, and when it reaches the top, it will retreat, the prosperity and decline, the society is degraded, and there are obviously high-rise buildings, but they are robes and coats.
Seeing that the three of them were arguing, Nan Fansheng was helpless, so he had to use his skills and shout, "Listen to me!"
The sound was like thunder, shaking the teacups on the table to a "bang", and the water overflowed like a wave, quieting the scene.
"Quarreling is not a way, it's good for everyone to compete openly, whoever wins will be the commander, why quarrel and hurt the peace!"
Nan Fan was born like a beast in the last second and wanted to devour people, and the next second he became like a spring breeze, with the power of thunder and rain and dew, one anger and one kindness, who would dare not obey!
In the final analysis, it is still necessary to see the real chapter under the hands.
But everyone looked at each other for a long time, except for Nan Fansheng, the other three martial arts alliance masters present were not there, and they were all the disciples of the alliance leaders, or the top combat power of the special combat battalions in various states.
"Don't stare, I'm old, I won't do anything to the juniors, I have two disciples on my side, and five members of the special operations battalion, what do you think?"
Each family glanced back, Yanzhou Taishou must have no opinion, in his territory, he has the most people.
Haizhou Taishou is relatively thin on this side, and he dared to come with only four people, and there are two young people, who are really confident, but two of them are old men who look like twins, Nan Fansheng actually knows him, and he is the same generation, and they nodded to each other as if they had said hello.
The ancestral state is not bad here, there are a total of ten people, seven old and three young, the defense is strict, even in the Taishou Mansion, they do not relax, occupy a critical position, and fulfill the duties of a bodyguard.
Looking at it this way, only juniors can do it, which makes Zhang Wu and Li He under great pressure.
Because the young people of the other three parties are not easy to match, there are even masters of the transformation realm, and there are even people who carry big knives and practice knife skills, how can you fight with others with your bare hands?
It is not appropriate to do anything in the room, and everyone comes to the martial arts arena, each according to one side.
Everyone is an alliance, it is really not good to fight life and death, after all, if you want to work together, you can only take a step back and compare your skills.
Seeing that everyone refused to go down, Yanzhou Taishou, who was the landlord, said to a young man behind him: "Shang Fan, you start up, don't weaken your master's prestige!"
Don't look at this Shang Fan is a young man, but the etiquette is very good, after appearing, he first bowed to Nan Fansheng, and then saluted the pair of twin old men in Haizhou.
Everyone is a person in the rivers and lakes, offering ugliness in front of the elders, the rules must be fulfilled, and you can't let others say that you are not big or small, that you have no martial virtue, and weaken the reputation of the master.
Then he hugged Zhang Wu and others one by one, and finally said "It's ugly!"
But I saw that Shang Fan's whole body bones "Ka Ka Ka" made a chaotic sound, the muscles and bones were soft and extraordinary, the bones were free by themselves, like plasticine, the mouth could buckle the eyes, the bones were gathered and overlapped, and he turned himself into a child in the blink of an eye, except for the big head, which could not be changed, and all parts of the body were like transformers, as if there were no joints.
Later, the spine "click, click, click" sounded twice, Shang Fan suddenly grew taller, he was only one meter seven before, and he forcibly pulled himself to one meter nine, but his skin would not collapse, and everyone was fascinated and couldn't help but applaud.
Zhang Wu sighed in his heart, it was really an eye-opener, he couldn't do it with this kung fu, although he could also take off the bone joints, but he grew twenty centimeters tall, and if he pulled it hard, the skin would definitely collapse, and if he tore it, it would crack like a rag, and the muscle fibers in his body couldn't resist such expansion, and he pulled himself to death.
After Shang Fan's performance, he bowed his hand to everyone, not complacent, not proud, and returned to his camp indifferently.
The bone reduction technique was shocking and made a good start, but some people were not convinced.
There was a young man on this side of the ancestral state, who was holding his chest with his hands from beginning to end, and looked contemptuous of everyone, and when Shang Fan finished performing, he said: "Little Doyle!"
Then he came out, didn't greet the elders, and shouted to the subordinates of the Taishou Mansion like an arm: "Borrow your toilet paper!"
How dare the next person not allow it, he was going to wait for the squatting pit, and even the toilet paper was robbed, but he was just a subordinate, and the guest asked for paper, and he gave it.
Crumpling the toilet paper into a ball at random, the young man from the ancestral state signaled to everyone, squatted down, and wrote on the concrete floor of the martial arts arena.
Crookedly, the four big characters like a watermark "three points into the wood" appeared, and the audience was silent.
Toilet paper has no edges and corners, it is extremely soft, and writing on the concrete floor with this thing, although it is only a faint mark, not engraved into it, but it can also show that this young man is extraordinary, this kung fu is indeed more powerful than bone shrinking, and it has its proud capital.
Shang Fan's limelight was suppressed, but he was not discouraged, and said to the young man very indifferently: "Brother Tai has high skills, little brother admires!"
This young man seems to have accomplished great deeds, his head is high, he is full of pride, he looks at people with squinting eyes, and he is used to lawlessness.
You are pretending to be here, naturally some people are not convinced, and the pair of twin old men in Haizhou said to their disciples: "Xiaohai, you go and demonstrate!"
This Xiaohai's appearance is short and capable, his robe reaches the ground, and his height is less than one meter six, but he has a powerful momentum, and his speech is also rough and rough: "The elders are above, the disciples are polite!" and then hugged his fists in all directions to show his respect.
After the etiquette is exhausted, Xiaohai puffs up his internal qi, his whole body is like an inflatable leather ball, his face is red, when he reaches the extreme, he bursts out, his right foot is slightly raised, and he suddenly grinds downward, and the strength penetrates the ground, goes deep into the ground, and instantly crushes the cement floor, but it is not crushed into pieces, it is just cracked, far from the effect of the sledgehammer bombarding the ground, but it is also powerful enough.
With this hand, the faces of the two young people performing in front of him all changed, and they exclaimed: "Bajiquan!"
Zhang Wu and Li He looked at each other in general, to say that it is more fierce than Xingyi Boxing, it is estimated that there is only Baji Boxing, because Baji Boxing is fierce and fierce, leaving no room for shots, smashing hard, hurting people with hands, it does not talk about sparring skills, completely pursuing lethality, and the kung fu practiced by black boxers is the same, extremely ruthless, people call it "evil skills!"
And Xiao Hai's stomping kung fu is deep in the essence of the eighth level, and the strength of the whole body is integrated to send out the overall strength, which is transmitted layer by layer under the feet, so that when it is crushed, a huge force can be exploded in an instant, and the cement floor can be crushed.
Zhang Wu only felt that the pressure was great, and he could do it if he crushed the ground, the black fist was not fought for nothing, the explosive power was strong, but it was not much stronger than Xiao Hai.
"Xiao Wu, don't have psychological pressure, compare skills, what are the good kung fu skills, the skills are not as good as others, just go back and practice hard" Nan Fansheng saw Zhang Wu's lack of confidence and opened his mouth to teach.
"Master, I can't compare with your senior brothers, I can't compare my muscles and bones with Senior Brother Shang Fan, I can't compare with Senior Brother Shangfan with my strength, I can't compare with Senior Brother Xiaohai with my bravery, I really don't have anything to do, or I'll be stupid!"
Zhang Wu paused, instantly had an idea, and said to everyone: "We people in the rivers and lakes come out to mix, it is inevitable to encounter gunmen, the spirit of the master of the transformation realm is so sharp that the bullet can not be added, other juniors such as me, at most, can only dodge the pistol in front of him, see his shooting action and dodge in advance, if you encounter a submachine gun or the like, there is death or life, although the younger brother is only in the dark, but he has some experience in dodging bullets, and he is ugly!"
Yanzhou was too willing, and ordered his subordinates to get submachine guns, his heart was tight, hoping that Zhang Wu would have some ability and not be killed by bullets, otherwise Nan Fansheng would be here, and it would be difficult to explain.
And when Zhang Wu said this, everyone looked at each other, even the masters of the transformation realm, although they can dodge bullets, they also have limits, to take the six-tube Gatling, even if the spirit is sharp and can dodge in advance, but if the firepower is too strong, cover the direction where you are about to dodge, and you will still eat guns.
"Xiao Wu, don't be reckless!" Li He was anxious, and grabbed Zhang Wu, with deep brotherly love, he gave up his life for a moment of righteousness, which was something that only a fool did.
"Senior brother, don't worry, I'm sure!" Zhang Wu smiled, giving Li He a reassuring look, he was chased and beaten by Zhong Hai with a gun every day in the special operations camp, and he must show his face today and earn back the hardships he suffered.
The submachine guns were quickly in place, and there was a box of ammunition, and the Taishou Mansion was heavily defended, and guns were indispensable.
Nan Fansheng saw that Zhang Wu was full of confidence, and he was also looking forward to it, and beckoned everyone to retreat and get out of the way.
Zhang Wu stood in the middle of the field, watching the subordinates of the Taishou Mansion pick up their submachine guns, loaded their bullets, and wait for battle.
"I'm going to start!"
The subordinate shouted, and then pulled the trigger, and the bullet "suddenly" swept towards Zhang Wu like a fire snake, and everyone was frightened and held their breath.
And Zhang Wu lifted his breath and tightened his abdomen, his body tightened into a monkey shape, his tail was startled, and a cool breath rose to the top of his head, and his whole body was very sensitive, often the bullet had not yet been fired, but the muzzle of the gun was aimed at him, and the point where the muzzle of the body was aimed at would be like a fire.
When your skin is burned by fire, you will instinctively retract your hand or be burned by a cigarette butt, and you will not go through your brain to judge what I should do, you will just stop it instantly, and then you will react, oops, I am burned.
The boxing scripture says that "encountering the enemy is like burning the body", many people can't understand it, why is it called fire?
That's it, cigarette butts.
Zhang Wu was in this state, his mind was blank, the bullets were suddenly aimed at him, and the whole martial arts arena was filled with gunsmoke, but he was like a live monkey, jumping a few meters, there was an afterimage in the spot, and the bullets could not be added at all, because the firepower was not enough.
If you want to kill him, it's almost the same to have more than a dozen submachine guns, block all the roads up and down, left and right, and cover the firepower, so that you can't move, which is about the same.
It wasn't until the barrel of the gun was red that it was about to be burned off, and the person who fired the gun stopped, but saw that the entire martial arts arena had been turned into a sieve, impacted by the rain of bullets, with countless potholes and the smell of gunpowder.
And Zhang Wu was unscathed!
