Chapter 24: The Evil Thief Tian Boguang, Mrs. Qian's Fighting Power

In Li Ming's expectation, the goal of Qianming Martial Arts School, which he runs, is not only to become a traditional martial arts school with excellent performance, which would be too boring, but to completely develop a new model.

First of all, we must start by breaking down the martial arts barriers that each sect cherishes!
In your own scripture library, not only should the contents be diverse and sophisticated, but there should also be integration and breakthroughs in the future.

But thinking about this, the most important problem at the moment is that the scale of Qianming Martial Arts School is still too small.

I didn't realize it before, but now with more than 30 new disciples in the martial arts school, divided into several areas for training every day, the space in the school is already a little stretched.

Moreover, in order to support one's own goals, the scale of the martial arts school must be expanded. The current situation is far from enough.

Fortunately, Li Ming did not have to worry about this issue because it had already been discussed with Captain Xing and Magistrate Lou last time.

As the population of Qixia Town increases, it will soon begin expansion.

It just so happens that Qianming Martial Arts School is located at the entrance of the town and has a lot of room for expansion. County Magistrate Lou has already promised to grant him a large area of ​​vacant land outside the town at a low price.

Moreover, next to Qianming Martial Arts School, there are several warehouses belonging to Manager Wei, which occupy a large area.

Li Ming has also made an agreement with Manager Wei to buy all these warehouses, which will allow the martial arts school to expand further in the future.

Anyway, Li Ming now has strong financial resources, so as long as it can be solved by spending money, it is not a problem.

Manager Wei was also very considerate. When he heard that Li Ming wanted to expand the martial arts gym, he did not raise the price and basically sold it to Li Ming at a friendly price.

After all, now Li Ming not only has proven his strength, but also has a great reputation. Naturally, Manager Wei would be happy to take this opportunity to do him a favor and make friends with him.

Li Ming had probably heard something about his own fame and knew that he was almost being praised as a saint outside.

Ultimately, it is Qianming Martial Arts School’s promise to teach talented disciples for free that is so topical.

After all, in this world of martial arts, martial arts are flourishing, but for ordinary people or low-level martial artists, it is very rare to have a chance to learn martial arts.

Not to mention the martial arts techniques that are monopolized by various sects, the huge amount of food and resources required to learn martial arts alone is not something that ordinary people can afford.

In this environment, the olive branch thrown out by Qianming Martial Arts School seems particularly tempting.

Even though not everyone has the opportunity to enjoy it, in the eyes of the lower-class people or warriors, Li Ming is really no different from a selfless saint.

Li Ming also heard that his behavior had caused dissatisfaction among many martial arts schools or sects in the surrounding area, which was equivalent to squeezing their jobs in disguise.

If this had happened in the past, someone would have come to his door long ago, but now people are afraid of his strength and have to endure it for the time being.

Li Ming didn't bother to care about their attitude.

After working in his own "Scripture Pavilion" for a while and adding a few new martial arts purchased from the system mall, Li Ming left.

The town of Seven Heroes is as peaceful as ever.

The streets are full of pedestrians coming and going, as well as passing merchants, and are very lively.

Li Ming walked out of the martial arts hall and went to Tongfu Inn, greeting everyone along the way. Many young girls and wives from various families gave him seductive glances.

As soon as I arrived near the inn, I saw Xiaomi lying lazily near the entrance of the inn, with his legs crossed and eating melon seeds. He looked so comfortable.

After cracking the melon seeds in his hand, Xiaomi clapped his hands and shouted into the inn without any courtesy.

"Water, get some water!"

Guo Furong ran out, lifting her skirt, and placed the teapot on the tea stall next to Xiaomi.

"Stop shouting, our inn is busy!"

As soon as Guo Furong left, Xiaomi shouted impatiently, "Towel, get a towel!"

Lu Xiucai came out with a towel and threw it to him: "Stop yelling, or our shopkeeper will get angry!"

Just as Lu Xiucai turned back, Xiaomi became more aggressive and shouted, "Food! Give me food!"

This time, the person who came was Bai Zhantang.

"Sunflower Point..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiaomi immediately put on a smile and said, "No, go ahead and do your thing..."

Bai Zhantang then turned around and went back.

Li Ming looked at this absurd scene and almost laughed. He didn't know whether to say that the people in Tongfu Inn were too good-tempered or that Xiaomi, a beggar, had too comfortable a life.

He walked over without stopping.

Xiaomi's eyes lit up when she saw Li Ming.

"Master Li is here to eat again!"

Li Ming nodded with a smile.

"Yes, by the way, how are you doing with the Panlong Three Strikes that I taught you last time? Didn't you say you were going to use it in the Beggars' Sect's martial arts competition?"

Xiaomi nodded repeatedly: "I'm training very well. The martial arts competition will be held in a few days. I will not embarrass Master Li then! Don't worry, I have a chance to be promoted to a five-bag disciple this time!"

"That's good."

Li Ming nodded and walked into Tongfu Inn.

Xiaomi shook her head when she saw this: "The food cooked by the chef at Tongfu Inn is so salty. I don't know why Master Li never gets tired of it even though he eats it every day."

After expressing his feelings, Xiaomi continued to hide in the corner, already beginning to imagine himself showing off his skills at the Beggars' Sect Martial Arts Competition in a few days.

As soon as Li Ming entered the room, Bai Zhantang greeted him with a smile and asked him to sit at the long elm table.

Li Ming ordered a few dishes, specifically asking for less salt, and then observed the atmosphere of the inn. To be honest, Li Dazui's cooking skills were indeed passable, but because of the strong taste, it had limited appeal to Li Ming.

Even the disciples in his Qianming Martial Arts School did not often go to Tongfu Inn for meals. Instead, they purchased ingredients in the martial arts school and cooked big pot meals.

The reason why Li Ming likes to eat at Tongfu Inn is that, on the one hand, he can always collect all kinds of information about the town here, and on the other hand, he likes the atmosphere here.

Soon, the food was ready and served. Before Li Ming could pick up the chopsticks, Captain Xing and Yan Xiaoliu came in hurriedly.

"Old White, give me a chicken, a plate of braised pork intestines, and a plate of cucumber slices."

"okay!"

Captain Xing came over, sat opposite Li Ming, picked up the teapot and started pouring tea.

Tong Xiangyu happened to come down at this time. Seeing Captain Xing's expression, she smiled and said, "Old Xing, what's the matter? The bandits have been destroyed, why are you still so busy?"

"It's harmful, don't mention it!"

Captain Xing waved his hands, but his expression became more serious.

"Another incident has occurred, and it's as serious as the bandits!"

Seeing Captain Xing's expression, Tong Xiangyu also realized that something was wrong and walked over with a serious look.

Guo Furong, who was sweeping the floor, and Lu Xiucai, who was doing the accounts, also came forward and listened attentively.

"What happened?"

"I'm telling you, don't be afraid!"

Captain Xing leaned forward and spoke in a low voice.

"This time it's not a bandit, but a flower thief!"

Perhaps it was because Captain Xing's tone and expression were frightening, Tong Xiangyu and Guo Furong were startled when they heard it and looked at each other.

"what's the situation?"

Captain Xing continued, "We just received news today that Tian Boguang, the notorious flower-stealing villain in the underworld, has arrived nearby and has just committed a crime in Shibalipu."

As he spoke, Captain Xing looked at his apprentice Yan Xiaoliu and asked, "Do you know who Tian Boguang is?"

Yan Xiaoliu shook his head blankly.

Captain Xing: "It's normal not to know. If you knew, you would be the captain!"

"It is said that Madam Qian from our town went to Shibalipu to collect debts two days ago. Because it was getting late, she didn't have time to come back, so she stayed at Mr. Cui's house in Shibalipu... Where are the chickens?"

Tong Xiangyu hurriedly asked Lv Xiucai to go to the kitchen to urge them, and then continued to ask nervously: "What next?"

Captain Xing's tone became even more mysterious: "Who would have thought that the flower thief Tian Boguang suddenly appeared in the middle of the night and sneaked into the room where Madam Qian lived!"

"what!"

Tong Xiangyu screamed in surprise, covering her mouth with her hands, her face full of disbelief.

Guo Furong frowned doubtfully, "Come on, no way, that's Madam Qian, how could she be so cruel? It seems that Tian Boguang is not young anymore, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xiaoliu beside him tightened his grip on the knife handle and questioned Guo Furong: "How do you know Tian Boguang is old?"

Guo Furong was impatient: "Nonsense, how can a young person like Madam Qian?"

Yan Xiaoliu: "Doesn't Lao Bai also have a crush on Manager Tong?"

Tong Xiangyu immediately became angry: "Hey, what do you mean?"

Yan Xiaoliu quickly shrank his neck and looked away guiltily.

Captain Xing frowned and knocked on the table: "I haven't finished yet. The flower thief didn't go after Madam Qian. Besides, he didn't succeed."

"How to say?"

"Mr. Cui gave his unmarried daughter's boudoir to Madam Qian to live in. Who knew that Tian Boguang had long been eyeing Mr. Cui's daughter? It was by accident that he caught up with Madam Qian!"

"And think about it, what kind of skills does Madam Qian have? She screamed and scratched Tian Boguang with her claws, and he beat her and made her flee immediately."

"Sure enough, it has to be Madam Qian!"

This was the unanimous thought that emerged in the minds of several people.

He could even drive away the notorious flower thief Tian Boguang. His fighting power is unmatched.

"But everyone should not let their guard down. Tian Boguang is nearby and is likely to commit crimes again. So in the next period of time, the young girls and wives in our town should be careful, especially the two of you. You are so beautiful, and you are the focus of the flower thieves..."

Captain Xing pointed at Tong Xiangyu and Guo Furong, scaring them so much that they quickly huddled together. Tong Xiangyu even leaned towards Old Xing.

"Old Xing..."

Tong Xiangyu's voice trembled a little.

Captain Xing naturally took Tong Xiangyu's hand and said, "Don't worry, we will increase the intensity of night patrols and prevent the flower thief from taking advantage of the opportunity..."

Before he could finish his words, Bai Zhantang jumped over, pulled Tong Xiangyu's hand out of Lao Xing's grasp, his face full of vigilance.

"By the way, Master Li, I still need your help with this matter. If I really run into Tian Boguang, I won't be his opponent..."

Captain Xing had a pleading look on his face, and he already regarded Li Ming as the town's military force.
