Seeing the clouds

Chapter 25 Chapter 24 Foolish opinion and elegance

Under the moonlight, there were two figures walking one behind the other on the deserted street.

Zhang Yue is in the front and Huang Xiaoxiao is in the back.

Neither of them spoke, and only Huang Xiaoxiao's sparse footsteps made the street seem even more silent.

After walking for a while, Huang Xiaoxiao felt a little tired, so he stopped, squatted down, looked at the elusive scholar and shouted: "Li, I can't walk anymore. Let's take a break, okay?" ?”

Zhang Yue turned a deaf ear and continued walking forward without even a pause.

When Huang Xiaoxiao saw this, she was afraid that the scholar who had just rescued her from her household registration would leave her here alone, so she hurriedly shouted: "Hey, Li, I'm calling you, are you deaf?!"

Only then did Zhang Yue stop, but still did not look back, and replied lightly: "Deaf."

Huang Xiaoxiao was so angry that she had finally developed some good feelings for him, but with his attitude, she immediately squandered all the good feelings she had just developed. She really hated him.

The little girl had long forgotten that it was this scholar whom she hated to death who saved her from the tiger's mouth.

Huang Xiaoxiao, who had been doted on by his brothers since childhood, suddenly became unhappy and squatted on the ground sulking.

The two of them rested on the street like this for about a stick of incense, not talking, not knowing what they were thinking.

Zhang Yue felt that the time was almost up, so he started walking without even telling Huang Xiaoxiao.

Huang Xiaoxiao saw him and quickly got up and followed him.

As a result, Zhang Chuchu heard an "ah" sound behind him before he had gone two steps. He turned around and saw Huang Xiaoxiao sitting on the ground holding her ankles, looking pitiful.

Seeing that the scholar finally turned around, Huang Xiaoxiao said aggrievedly: "I squatted for too long and twisted my ankle when I got up."

Zhang Chuchu had no idea and sighed, thinking that it would be better to send the Buddha to the West.Then he walked to Huang Xiaoxiao, turned around, squatted down, and whispered: "Come up."

The little girl looked at the scholar's back close at hand, and finally felt much happier, but she still muttered: "Come closer, I can't reach him."

Zhang Yue had no choice but to squat down and take two steps back. Only then did Huang Xiaoxiao throw herself on his back.

Zhang Yue carefully picked up the woman who was as soft as a bone on his back and walked towards the inn step by step.

Huang Xiaoxiao lay on Zhang Yue's solid back, full of curiosity about Zhang Yue. She put her chin on Zhang Yue's right shoulder and said: "Li, why do you condescend to join our escort agency if you are so powerful?" ?”

Zhang Yue turned his head slightly to the right, glanced at Huang Xiaoxiao's side face and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I didn't sneak into the escort agency, I was just along the way."

Huang Xiaoxiao said: "I don't believe it. You are still pretending to be a scholar. Are you ashamed?"

Zhang Chuchu did not turn around this time: "I have been reading for more than ten years, and I am a scholar."

Huang Xiaoxiao asked: "Then when I was kidnapped, with your strength, why didn't you just intercept the person and stage a 'hero saving the beauty'?"

Zhang Chuchu then explained: "If Ning Lie was intercepted directly at that time, if the escort agency was alerted, with Brother Huang's level of protection, the matter would not be rectified. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Besides, I also want to see what can be done. The person who has the audacity to do such an act shows his true face in Lushan."

Huang Xiaoxiao snorted, and then said: "I can't beat you. Scholars have great mouths."

After walking for a while, Zhang Yue said: "Please Miss Huang, please keep it a secret for me."

Huang Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "You are obviously so powerful, why do you keep such a low profile?"

Zhang Chu said: "Because I was hunted by my enemies, I had to stay anonymous and keep a low profile, for fear of hurting the people I knew. So in order to ensure the safety of Brother Huang and other brothers in the escort agency, I have to keep Miss Huang secretive." "

Huang Xiaoxiao muttered: "Men are really troublesome. Okay, I understand."

Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Thank you very much."

The two of them walked towards the inn. For the rest of the way, Huang Xiaoxiao lay on Zhang Yue's back, with thousands of thoughts popping up in his mind. He kept asking questions curiously, but Zhang Yue still had a perfunctory attitude and occasionally asked questions. He only answered a few questions when he heard questions that were convenient for him to answer. Fortunately, Huang Xiaoxiao was in a good mood at the moment, so he didn't pay too much attention.

After arriving at the inn, the two of them went back to their rooms to rest, and spent the night in silence.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Yue got up early. Seeing that Huang Xiaoxiao hadn't gotten up yet, he went to greet Huang Tianba, and then had breakfast with him and the other escort brothers.

After breakfast, Huang Tianba took his bodyguard to practice martial arts in the yard. Zhang Yue was also interested and watched with interest.

The boxing techniques used by Huang Tianba and Xiong Xiaocun were the same as the Tiger and Leopard Boxing passed down by the old bodyguard.

Tiger and Leopard Boxing, "Tiger" means fierce and "Leopard" means swift, is a set of foreign boxing techniques that emphasizes attack.

In the escort agency, except for some escort masters who first joined the escort agency, most of the other escort masters also used this set of boxing techniques.

Zhang Chuchu stood aside and watched them practice the boxing meticulously for more than an hour. He roughly memorized the boxing technique in his mind, disassembled some of the exquisite moves, and thought about it to see if there was any chance. Convert into corresponding sword moves.

Everyone who practices boxing also knows that the scholar next to him comes from a martial arts family. Although Li Huizhi's identity was fabricated by Zhang Chuchu from beginning to end, for everyone who doesn't know, seeing that he is interested in martial arts, and Don't find it strange.

When everyone finished practicing martial arts, Huang Tianba saw Zhang Yue watching with great interest. He took a sweat towel and wiped the sweat on his face. He walked to Zhang Yue's side and said, "Huizhi was born in a martial arts family. He also read After reading thousands of books, I must have a unique understanding of martial arts. What do you think of Hui Zhi's Tiger and Leopard Boxing style of Escort?"

Zhang Yue nodded and said with a smile: "I can't talk about opinions, I can only say my humble opinion. If Brother Huang really wants to know, I won't hide it, but if there is something wrong, Brother Huang must not angry."

Huang Tianba closed his remaining right eye and laughed loudly: "Huizhi, don't be humble. Brother Huang, do I look like a stingy person?"

Zhang Chuchu then said: "Brother's Tiger and Leopard Boxing is very complete overall. It is simple but also has some subtleties. Unless you look at it with a picky eye, it can be regarded as flawless. But... …”

Huang Tianba was very confident in his Tiger and Leopard Boxing. When he saw Zhang Yue said the word "but", he raised his eyebrows: "It's nothing."

Zhang Chuchu continued: "But it's not suitable for escort agencies."

Huang Tianba asked in confusion: "What's the explanation?"

Zhang Chuchu explained: "After spending a few days with everyone, I also learned a lot about dart walking from the miscellaneous manager. During the dart walking, most of the time the dart masters encounter enemy counterattacks, and "beating the dart legs" will This is the best proof. Although the Tiger and Leopard Fist is strong and fast, and its offensive moves are relatively complete, it has almost no defensive backhand moves." "In short, as a surprise attack method, the Tiger and Leopard Fist has no faults. . But as a defense against an attack, the effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Fist is greatly reduced, and it may not even be able to exert one-third of its effectiveness."

After hearing this, Huang Tianba fell into deep thought.

Zhang Chuchu continued: "It's okay for experienced escort masters like Brother Huang. When attacked, they can use their experience to make up for their lack of boxing skills. But for new escort masters who have little experience in escorting, even if they practice their boxing skills to the point of pure passion, At this point, once you encounter an enemy of comparable strength, you will most likely be seriously injured, or even..."

Zhang Chuedue did not continue to scaremongering because he knew that Huang Tianba had understood what he meant.

Huang Tianba thought for a while, nodded a little funny, and said helplessly: "Huizhi has good eyesight and insights. Indeed, as Huizhi said, the new escorts in our escort agency are the most likely to get into trouble, so they have become more and more popular in the past two years. The less new people join the escort agency. If this continues, the escort agency will..."

Zhang Yue smiled knowingly, and it seemed that his guess was not wrong.

Huang Tianba stretched out his hands and put them on Zhang Yue's shoulders, and said seriously: "Since Huizhi can see the problem with the Tiger and Leopard Fist, he must have a solution in mind. Please teach me."

Zhang Chuchu nodded: "Brother Huang, please gather all the brothers who can escape now into the courtyard. Wait a moment, and I will change my clothes and come back."

After saying that, Zhang Yue went to the room to change clothes. Huang Tianba quickly called all the brothers who had nothing to do.

After half a stick of incense, Zhang Yue changed into a smart outfit and walked out of the room into the yard.

The escorts who had been summoned heard that they had something to learn, and they had long been looking forward to Zhang Chuo's arrival.

However, no one expected that Zhang Yue, who usually wore loose robes and had a delicate face, would have such a strong body. Those strong muscles were obviously that of Lian Jiazi, so everyone's expectations for him were a little higher.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Yue walked to the center of the courtyard and said with a smile: "It seems that everyone is here. My next martial arts demonstration requires the cooperation of a brother who is proficient in Tiger and Leopard Fist."

Just as Huang Tianba was about to recommend himself, he was mercilessly interrupted by Zhang Yue: "Don't be too strong, otherwise my body won't be able to bear it. Brother Huang can't do this."

Huang Tianba was not angry even after being poured a basin of cold water on him. He turned around and looked at the crowd. Finally he chose a young escort and said, "Li Xiang, you go."

The bodyguard named Yuan Lixiang walked out of the crowd, walked up to Zhang Yue, cupped his fists and bowed: "Brother Li, please give me your advice."

Zhang Chuchu nodded and returned the salute with cupped fists: "Next, brother Li Xiang, please treat me as a gangster who robs escorts. Use the Tiger and Leopard Fist you have learned to knock me down as much as you can. Don't show mercy."

All the escorts present, including Yuan Lixiang, were stunned, subconsciously thinking that they had heard wrongly.

Zhang Chuchu continued: "Brothers present, please watch my movements carefully. If there is anything wrong, please correct me. Okay, brother Lixiang, you can take action now."

Yuan Li naturally didn't dare and looked back at Huang Tianba.Huang Tianba had no choice but to nod in agreement since Zhang Yue said so.

Yuan Li thought about it and then turned around, put on the posture of Tiger and Leopard Fist, looked at Zhang Yue's body without any change, nodded, used his left hand as a claw, and made a fist with his right hand to attack Zhang Yue fiercely.

To be named by Huang Tianba, he naturally has two brushes. Although Yuan Lixiang's Tiger and Leopard Fist is not as fierce as Huang Tianba and others, every move is aimed at Zhang Yue's vitals, fisting between his hands. The changes with the claws are natural and extremely fast.

Just when everyone was still wondering how long Zhang Yue could last under Yuan Lixiang's fierce tiger and leopard punch, Zhang Yue faced Yuan Lixiang's fierce attack. He was standing where he was, and his body that seemed to be full of flaws suddenly moved. Now, his hands are constantly changing between the fists, palms and fingers, and he will even use his arms and elbows to defend. However, no matter how he changes, he can resolve Yuan Lixiang's attacks with both hands one by one in the simplest and most straightforward way. , counterattacking and severely injuring Yuan Li's hands that he wanted to use as offensive weapons.

When Zhang Yue was still studying literature under Bai Feng's guidance in Yunxia City, what he was best at was drawing inferences from one example and making a comprehensive understanding.This advantage has not changed even now in Xuewu.

The boxing technique he wants to use against Yuan Li now is to combine the Little Diamond Fist and Li Muzhi's Nine Dragons Cloud Panning into one, using the most wonderful changes and inspirations in Nine Dragons Panning Clouds as the cornerstone, and then using The fierceness and lightness of the Little Diamond Fist serves as a counterattack, and the entire set of boxing techniques is as smooth and fast as running water, neutralizing all attacks that one can bear while inflicting heavy damage on the opponent.

Just like Yuan Li thought now, his boxing skills were obviously fast and fierce, but Zhang Yue sometimes hit his wrist with a punch and directly bounced the punch away; sometimes he used his palm to push his fist to his other wrist; he even directly Use your elbow to catch your fist.After this round of attack, Yuan Li wanted not to mention that Zhang Yue was injured. His fist did not even touch Zhang Yue's body. Instead, his hands were blue and purple, and extremely sore.

The other escorts who were watching the battle in the yard were so shocked that they couldn't even speak when they saw this scene. They were all stunned.

Yuan Li wanted to fight for a while, but when he saw that Zhang Yue was unscathed, he knew that he had no chance of winning, so he folded his fists and admitted defeat.

At this time, the whole courtyard was boiling, and everyone began to imitate Zhang Chuo's boxing postures based on their memories.

Huang Tianba was even more delighted. He ran to Zhang Yue and grabbed his hands tightly...

Then Zhang Yue explained the principles and moves of the boxing technique under the admiring and curious eyes of everyone, but the time for this explanation came at noon.

After a morning of understanding and practice, everyone now understands the basics of Zhang Chue's boxing technique.However, everyone was an experienced martial arts practitioner, so they naturally understood that this kind of thing couldn't be accomplished overnight, so they went to eat together while exchanging their experiences.

But Huang Tianba's troubles came. He was a down-to-earth person, and this boxing technique was indeed good and suitable for the escort agency. However, he could not repay such a big favor, and he suddenly became entangled in his heart.

Otherwise, betroth your sister to him?Anyway, the eldest brother is like the father, so my sister should listen to what I say. When the time comes, we will become a family, and there will be no human feelings between the brother and the brother-in-law.

He went to Zhang Yue to discuss: "Huizhi, to be honest, if everyone can practice your boxing style, the strength of the escort agency can indeed be doubled, but..."

Seeing that Huang Tianba was hesitant to speak, Zhang Chuchu mistakenly thought that he was afraid that the bodyguards would not be able to learn it, so he said: "Brother Huang, don't worry, I will write down the essentials and experience of the boxing technique on paper later. When the time comes, Brother Huang, you Just understand it first, and then give it to others after returning to Jincheng. Anyway, I still have some time to go to Tianshui, so I’m not afraid that I won’t be able to finish writing.”

Huang Tianba became even more worried when he heard Zhang Yue was so delicate and thoughtful: "That's not what I meant...Brother Huizhi, I mean, you taught us such a good set of boxing skills. I really can't afford to repay the favor." ah……"

Seeing that his whole face was about to look so sad that he was no longer human, Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Brother Huang, that's what you said. It's okay. I have received a lot of care from Brother Huang along the way, and the bodyguards all treat me as a brother." Since everyone treats me as a brother, I will naturally repay him as a brother. Boxing is something external to me, so it doesn't matter. Besides, I am a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam, and I also use a knife. Boxing is of no use to me, so don't refuse, Brother Huang."

Upon hearing this, Huang Tianba sighed and admired Zhang Yue more and more in his heart. He cupped his hands and thanked: "From today on, Huizhi is my brother Huang Tianba. If my brother needs anything, just ask. "

Zhang Yue raised his eyebrows: "Seriously?"

Huang Tianba slapped his chest: "I, Huang Tianba, always mean what I say. As long as it does not violate the moral principles of the world, brother, you can mention it."

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Then are you willing to marry your sister to me?"

Huang Tianba was happy: "I couldn't ask for more."

Zhang Chuchu quickly waved his hand and said, "Brother, please, brother, I was just joking."

Both of them smiled knowingly.
