Chapter 12: Bandits appear, the first batch of disciples of the martial arts school
The sudden appearance of the murder weapon frightened Captain Xing so much that he stopped in his tracks and his eyes widened.
"There is indeed a problem!"
At almost the same time, Li Ming and Bai Zhantang took action.
"Sunflower acupoint hand!"
Bai Zhantang leaped over and instantly captured the three people.
When he turned around, he found that the other two had also been knocked down by Li Ming. Their joints were dislocated and they fell to the ground, wailing.
"what!"
The remaining person didn't have time to make a move, but unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, all his companions were knocked down!
After a moment's hesitation, he turned and ran towards the nearest backyard.
Just then, Mo Xiaobei lifted the curtain and walked out, and the two of them bumped into each other.
Seeing that it was a child, the man was delighted, but a ferocious look appeared on his face. He reached out and grabbed the child without any hesitation, trying to hold Mo Xiaobei hostage.
Before Mo Xiaobei could figure out what was going on, he felt a big hand grabbing him roughly. Without time to think, he used the grappling hand as a conditioned reflex.
A scream!
Not only did this person fail to catch Mo Xiaobei, but he also broke several fingers and his wrist was bent upward. Then he was pulled by Mo Xiaobei and fell to the ground with a thud.
Mo Xiaobei's moves were surprisingly skillful!
"Xiao Bei!"
At this moment, Tong Xiangyu, who came down from the second floor, heard the noise and happened to see this scene. She was so scared that she almost fainted.
Fortunately, Guo Furong didn't have time to take action. She was standing at the stairs and quickly supported Tong Xiangyu.
Tong Xiangyu paused for a moment, then hurried to Mo Xiaobei, put her arms around her shoulders and looked her over and over, making sure that she was safe and had no injuries at all, before she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaobei, you scared me to death!" Tong Xiangyu hugged Mo Xiaobei, looking quite frightened.
"Bandits, they are all bandits from Cuiwei Mountain!"
Bai Zhantang looked around and checked the personal belongings of the people whose acupoints were pressed. Then his eyes fell on the weapons they were using and he spoke.
"Bandits?"
The sudden fight caused the diners in the lobby to flee in panic. When they heard these two words, fear appeared on their faces.
"Oh no! Bandits have taken over our Qixia Town!"
I don't know who shouted, but everyone jumped up and ran outside like frightened birds or beasts.
At this time, Tong Xiangyu shifted her attention from her concern for Mo Xiaobei and immediately became anxious when she saw this.
"Don't go, don't go, the meal isn't paid yet!"
But by the time she rushed over, the diners had already run away and no one could stop her.
"What is going on?"
Tong Xiangyu complained and looked back at the store.
The fight just now didn't last long, just a moment, but the store was already in a mess, and several tables were overturned by the bandits.
Tong Xiangyu couldn't help but feel heartbroken: "My old elm table! The two jars of Fenjiu I just bought! My century-old staircase!"
Guo Furong asked in confusion: "Boss, isn't the staircase okay?"
"It's okay, that's good..."
Tong Xiangyu's sadness finally eased a little.
"Don't make a fuss, don't make a fuss, tie these guys up first!"
Although he was scared to death, Lao Xing, the head of the police, stepped forward immediately and directed the handling of the scene.
Li Ming came over and checked a few people.
Their current strength is not enough to face Li Ming, they are all in the Gang realm and Qi realm, but there is a fierceness on their faces. Even the three injured did not scream too much, but just groaned.
Soon, Li Dazui and Lu Xiucai found ropes and tied them up with the shackles that Lao Xing carried with him.
Bai Zhantang pointed with his fingers and unblocked the acupoints of one of them.
"Who are you and what are you doing in Qixia Town?"
"How dare you touch me, your grandfather? If you don't let us go quickly, our bosses will not let you go!"
Before I could finish asking, the other party started shouting. It seems that they are indeed bandits!
Everyone in Tongfu Inn felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.
The bandits wouldn't appear for no reason. Maybe they have already set their sights on Qixia Town, and these people came here to investigate the situation in the town!
Seeing that these bandits are very stubborn, it is estimated that they will not cooperate in the short term.
After everyone discussed it, they decided to call for help first, and send these bandits to the yamen's jail, and then report the matter to Magistrate Lou.
In addition, the news has now spread throughout Qixia Town. The residents must be very panicked when they heard that bandits have appeared. Captain Xing needs to go out quickly to calm everyone down.
Soon, Captain Xing took action.
After calming down a little, Tong Xiangyu seemed to have thought of something, and pulled Mo Xiaobei over with a serious face.
"Xiao Bei, how did you manage to deal with such a vicious bandit? Who did you learn this martial arts from? Tell me the truth!"
Mo Xiaobei's eyes were evasive, and he didn't know how to answer, when Li Ming came over and admitted it.
"Don't blame me, Shopkeeper Tong. I was idle before, and seeing that Xiaobei has great talent, I taught her a few self-defense martial arts moves."
"It's you!"
Tong Xiangyu was quite surprised. She thought Xiaobei had learned it from Bai Zhantang or Guo Furong.
But what's more confusing is that Li Ming runs a martial arts school and he will only teach people martial arts for money, so why would he teach Xiao Bei for free?
But just as he was about to say something, Bai Zhantang stepped out to rescue him.
"Boss, this is not a bad thing. Xiao Bei is the head of Hengshan Sect after all. She will inevitably have to learn a few more martial arts in the future. With Master Li's ability and character, are you still worried about teaching her?"
"Besides, you've seen the situation outside. It's not a bad thing to have martial arts to protect yourself. If Xiao Bei wasn't so powerful this time, I would have been held hostage by the bandits."
As he spoke, Bai Zhantang winked at Tong Xiangyu.
Tong Xiangyu didn't know what to say for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.
Du Dajin had told her some things before, so she knew that Li Ming was very powerful and had mastered superior martial arts. Du Dajin had spent several thousand taels of silver to acquire a set of boxing techniques.
By this calculation, Li Ming was willing to teach Mo Xiaobei for free, which was a huge bargain for them.
Although Tong Xiangyu doted on Mo Xiaobei, ever since Mo Xiaobei took over as the head of Hengshan and had to take time out to learn Hengshan swordsmanship, Tong Xiangyu knew that Mo Xiaobei was destined to be associated with the martial arts world.
After a long while, Tong Xiangyu sighed: "Let me think about this matter for a while, let's clean up the store first."
The others responded and began to help clean up the mess in the store...
Soon, Captain Xing and Yan Xiaoliu brought back the results.
Those people were indeed bandits from Tsz Wan Shan. They have now been locked up and the situation has been reported.
But considering the current tense situation, County Magistrate Lou decided to speed up their previous plan.
There was some unrest in the town, but after Captain Xing's calming down, the situation soon calmed down.
Hearing that there were bandits on the scene, many young and strong people in the town have volunteered to sign up. Rich people like Manager Qian have also contributed some people and are willing to help.
It was tentatively decided that Li Ming would take time out every day to teach everyone some basic Kung Fu, and the government would pay a certain amount of silver as fee.
After the matter was settled, everyone felt much more at ease.
The Seven Heroes Town has returned to peace, but the atmosphere is obviously no longer as relaxed as before...
In the next few days, Qianming Martial Arts School finally opened.
Even though the registration price was set at two hundred taels, we still received the first batch of disciples.
Of course, those who can afford this money are not ordinary people. Most of them come from outside the town and have wealthy families who are willing to spend money to learn martial arts.
There were even a few people who, after hearing about Li Ming's achievements, took the trouble to come here from Guangyang Prefecture to become his apprentice and learn skills.
After a series of fees were collected, Li Ming's account had several hundred more attribute points added at once.
The strength of this group of new disciples was of average level, so after Li Ming classified them according to their styles, he spent dozens of attribute points to buy some good martial arts techniques from the mall and taught them to lay the foundation.
This group of disciples are not bound to him like Mo Xiaobei, but after joining the martial arts school, they can still slowly generate some attribute points in return.
However, both the speed and the rate of return are far inferior to Mo Xiaobei, so it is worse than nothing.
[Martial Arts School disciple Cui Yuankai's Liuhequan proficiency is improved, and attribute point +1 is obtained]
[Martial Arts School disciple Song Zhiming's proficiency in Jingtao Swordsmanship is improved, and he gains attribute point +1]
[Martial Arts School disciple Xu Kunfeiyun's four-step comprehension is improved, and he gains attribute points +1]
……
Qianming Martial Arts School gradually became lively.
