Chapter 30 Like Walking on Thin Ice

"So, the old man guessed right?" Uncle He laughed twice and shook his head again, "Actually, I didn't lie to you. I really don't know Yang's pear gun. However, the number of moves of this set of shooting is indeed the same as that of Red Fist. It's all here.

He Bo knocked on his gray-haired head and said, "However, I can only pass on the Yang family's pear flower gun to the descendants of the Yang family. Even if the young master wants to learn and beg me in person, the old man can't agree. This case is unavoidable."

"He Bo, are you the descendant of the Yang family? ...I'm sorry, I promised not to ask you about your background. You don't have to answer." Chu Tianya couldn't help asking in surprise.

"No." Uncle He shook his head carelessly, "In those years, I was entrusted by my old friend to write down this shooting method and promised him that I would not teach it until I met the descendants of the Yang family. Although I remember the whole set of Yang's guns, even I have never practiced a move and a half, let alone pass it on to people with foreign surnames. Therefore, the old man will feel sorry for you in this matter, young master.

"It is reasonable to be entrusted and loyal to others." Chu Tianya nodded and said, "It's not easy for He Bo He himself to write down a full set of shooting skills but hasn't practiced one move and half! - This is the same as holding a peerless beauty, right?"

"Hey hey, the young master's example is appropriate." Uncle He laughed a few times again, and then said, "Yang Ye, Yang Lao Ling, who was called 'Yang Invincible' in those years. The Yang family is even more loyal and fierce. As a result, the Yang family's pear flower gun is famous all over the world, shocking the world, and is known as unparalleled in the world. For those who practice martial arts, the Yang family's shooting skills are indeed supreme **. But the old man didn't practice Yang's gun, but it was not entirely because he wanted to keep the promise of those years.

"Is there any other reason?"

"Hey hey..." Uncle He smiled dexatively and complacently. "To borrow the young master's example, the reason why the old man holds a beauty but is not confused is not because the old man is not lustful or a decent gentleman; but because the old man's lust and courage has long been swallowed by another more beautiful beauty. Peel it alive!"

Chu Tianya couldn't help but be shocked. "What Uncle He means is that the set of shooting you know is more powerful than the Yang family's pear flower gun?"

"Hey hey!" He Bo grinned and said, "Otherwise, why should the Yang family give me all the shooting techniques handed down from the family so confidently and boldly, and let me teach them on my behalf?"

Chu Tianya couldn't help taking a cold breath, "According to what you said, does the Yang family know that Uncle He doesn't like their shooting method at all, which is called 'unparalleled in the world'?"

He Bo waved his hand and smiled, "There is no need to mention these old things. Anyway, the old man will always keep my promise and not spread the Yang family's guns.

"Wouldn't it be a pity if it was lost like this?" Chu Tianya said.

"How can it be lost?" He Bo smiled strangely and said, "For decades, hasn't the old man been able to find a descendant of the Yang family to pass on his shooting?"

"Oh, it turns out that Uncle He has already completed the entrustment he received that year!" Chu Tianya smiled and said, "Well, I won't continue to inquire about He Bo's past experience - but what I want to ask is, Uncle He, are you willing to teach your own shooting style to Xiao Linglong? ...Don't get me wrong. I just made a deal with her. This is the condition of the transaction."

"If you want to teach it to the young master, there is naturally no problem." Uncle He laughed so much again, "But that Princess Xiao, unless she commits herself to marry you, the old man will definitely not teach her!"

Chu Tianya put his hands on his waist and looked at He Bo's helpless laughter. "What if I learn it myself and teach her?"

"That's the young master's own business. The old man can't take care of it." Uncle He said with a smile, "Listen to what the young master said, there are already eight words between you two!" In this case, there is no difference between the old man teaching in person or the young master. But the old man wants to put an ugly word in front of him.

"Please tell me, Uncle He."

"The old man's gunmanship is not from a family that he has not officially learned from his teacher, but by chance. This brown past is not glorious. He Bo said, "But as far as I know, the original owner of this set of shooting skills has lost the inheritance of shooting skills. Up to now, I'm afraid that I, the old man who stole the master, is the only one who can do this set of shooting. As soon as the old man dies, it will probably be lost. What a pity! Therefore, I am willing to teach the shooting method to the young master and ask the young master to pass it on for me. But the young master wants to promise me that you can only pass on this shooting to your descendants and family. From now on, you just think of it as the Chu family gun!"

"Why is it like this?" Chu Tianya said curiously, "Since it is the treasure of Chinese martial arts, isn't it good to let it be widely inherited?"

"It's not good. At least for now, it's not good." He Bo, who has always been easy-going, shook his head decisively and vetoed it this time. He said, "This set of shooting is extraordinary. Can anyone learn it? Nowadays, in troubled times, if it is widely spread and let the generals of the enemy country or traitors also learn from it, isn't it a great scourge? The world's martial arts originally has its own schools; the so-called Broom is self-deserving, which has its own reason. In addition, I learned this shooting method secretly, which is extremely disgraceful. If I also leak it everywhere and spread it widely, wouldn't it be too sorry for the owner of this shooting family? To be honest, if I hadn't been worried that my shooting will be lost after my death, I wouldn't have thought of teaching it to the young master.

"What kind of shooting can be more powerful than the famous Yang family's pear flower gun?" Chu Tianya asked curiously.

"It's said that it's the Chu family's gun!" Uncle He smiled and said, "Why does the young master bother to ask about its origin?"

Chu Tianya said, "As the saying goes, drinking water and thinking about the source, since I am the descendant of this shooting method, should I know its origin? Uncle He, just tell the truth!"

"If you don't say it, you won't say it to death!" Uncle He smiled strangely and said, "Don't ask about this kind of shameful thing."

"Well, I won't ask." Chu Tianya laughed.

He Bo laughed and said, "From now on, you just think of it as the Chu family's gun - only this one, there is no other centimeter!"

Chu Tianya thought for a moment and said, "I don't have a foundation for shooting. Now I'm going to learn Wang's gun from him. I'm about to practice He Bo's shooting skills again. Isn't it right?"

"Don't worry, it won't be." He Bo said, "Wang Yu wants to teach you how to shoot, but it's just a cover. In a short time, he can't teach anything. The world's martial arts has the same way, and the young master will learn guns from Wang at ease. It's not bad that he can lead you into the door and lay a little foundation for shooting. With these basics, I will teach the young master to practice my shooting skills when I have time in the future. There is no conflict between the two. Now, the young master just has to practice red fists. Compared with shooting, boxing is fast. Let's talk about the rest later.

"Okay, it's He Bo's."

"Stop talking nonsense and start practicing boxing!"

That night, Chu Tianya practiced Guanzhong Red Fist for more than an hour under the guidance of He Bo. Originally, he had practiced modern military and police fighting and loose-handed capture. These things are based on summarizing the martial arts skills of predecessors, and then combined with modern scientific talents to form various practical moves. If you really want to calculate it, modern fighting skills are not much worse than ancient martial arts. It's just that guns are respected in modern times, so few people will do their best to practice martial arts like ancient martial artists. As a result, it gradually led to the decline of ancient martial arts, and it also became mysterious and powerful.

Chu Tianya has only practiced military and police fighting skills as an amateur. It's not a big problem to subdue one or two gangsters, but they can't be called masters. But at least I have some kung fu foundation. In addition, this young and strong foundation is not bad now, so I get started very fast, and I am quite familiar with practicing red boxing.

He Bo, who had only taught all night, was secretly shocked. Looking back on the past few years, Chu Tianya has not learned martial arts from anyone. How can he have such a solid foundation of kung fu? Originally, he planned to spend a month or two to teach Chu Tianya the basic things such as pricking horses and pressing his legs, and polish his muscles and bones first. Now it seems that this program can be completely eliminated!

"It seems that the young master not only has a great change in temperament as if he has changed his soul, but also his body seems to have been reborn." He Bo thought in surprise, "I don't know what kind of adventure he has had recently?"

The next day, Chu Tianya went to Dutong Mansion to go to the South Gate to supervise the construction of the city with Wang Xun. As soon as I got to the door of Dutong Office, I saw a team of people coming in from the gate. The leader is Tong Guan, followed by a team of generals.

Tong Guan strode quickly, holding a knife with one hand on his waist. Looking at the look, he was even more angry - obviously the person who came was not good!

Chu Tianya couldn't help but be shocked: Could it be that the horse expanded the incident, and Tong Guan came to ask for guilt?

At this time, Wang, who was in the government hall, got the general biography and hurriedly went out with his son Wang Xun. Before he could visit, Tong Guan snorted, "Come in and talk! - The rest retreat!"

Wang Yu's face changed slightly, so he and Tong Guan entered the government hall, and even Wang Xun was blocked outside.

Chu Tianya invited Wang Xun to a secluded place and said to him, "Brother Wang, will it be that the matter of Ma's expansion against Xishan was known by Tong Taishi, so he came to ask for guilt?"

"It may be..." Wang Xun was full of surprise and anxiety, and whispered, "Although Master Tong has always trusted and relied heavily on his father, Ma Yu is his father's adopted son, and now he has turned to the thief. My father will be more or less involved..."

Chu Tianya frowned and meditated for a moment and said, "In my opinion, there is no danger."

"How can I see it?" Wang Xun asked in surprise.

"Because Tong Guan is very fierce, the show is very big, and it smells like knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger." Chu Tianya said, "The more so, the more thunderous I feel. Tong Guan is just scaring Wang Dutong. He doesn't really want to punish him. As long as Wang Du's mouth is tight, there will be no problem. On the contrary, if Master Tong quietly sends people to call Wang Du to plead guilty in private, then there will be really a big trouble!"

Wang Xun raised his eyebrows and exclaimed, praising, "That's right, that's right! In the usual way of Master Tong, when he really wants to deal with someone, he will not startle the snake with a lot of fanfare, and most of them will use a soft knife. So, is my father not in danger?"

"It should be!"

Having said that, Chu Tianya and Wang Xun were still a little worried, so they stayed outside the government hall and watched the changes.

After a long time, Tong Guan came out of the government hall, followed by Wang Qi. Strangely, the robe that Tong Guan wore on his body is now on Wang's body.

Tong Guan swept away the anger when he came just now, but laughed and said, "What did the minister say? You and I have been working together for so many years. Do we still need to be polite to each other? Well, you don't have to send it. You can do it yourself."

"Congratulations to the prince!" Wang stood under the eaves of the government hall and bowed his fists.

"I will say goodbye." Tong Guan also returned a salute to Wang, took a big step with the guard and armored soldiers and walked out.

It was not until Tong Guan walked out of the gate of the capital government that Chu Tianya and the father and son of the Wang family breathed a sigh of relief.

"You two, come here." Wang Yu called out to Chu Tianya and Wang Xun, and then entered the government hall.

The two followed in and came to Wang Yu's study. But I saw a sharp knife inserted on the desk in the room, and the blood stains of Yin Yin had not dried.

"Dad, what's going on?" Wang Xun asked in surprise, "Where did you hurt?"

Wang Qi took off the robe on his body and showed a knife wound on his chest.

"What's going on?" Chu Tianya and Wang Xun both asked in shock.

"Hey... can't I do anything about it?" Wang sighed and said helplessly, "Because of the collapse of the horse against Xishan, Master Tong came to ask me about my guilt, so I said that I didn't know about it. But who is Tong Taishi so easy to cheat? In desperation, I had to use a bitter meat trick and draw my knife to kill myself!"

Wang Xun was suddenly shocked, and his head was covered in cold sweat. "Dad, are you seriously injured?"

"If you are seriously injured, can you still stand here and talk to the two of you now?" Wang said with a wry smile, "It's just that it's really dangerous. If I don't dare to prick my knife, Master Tong will definitely kill me; if I really prick it, I will die. To put it bluntly, I'm also betting on my life - I'll bet that Master Tong will stop me.

At this time, Chu Tianya also breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortune, Wang Du won the bet!"

"Yes, I won this robe." Wang Yu laughed at himself with a wry smile, "Although Master Tong stopped him in time, my knife was quite fierce, and I still stabbed the skin and cut my clothes. So, he gave me this robe... Xun'er, Tianya, now we are gambling with our lives, as dangerous as walking on thin ice. Therefore, you should be careful in all your words and deeds, and don't be careless!"
