Great Xuanwu Sheng Chapter 7

Chapter 7 Patrol

"I see."

 Chen Mu showed a hint of surprise.

These days, whenever there is an opportunity to make progress, it will naturally attract people to compete for their heads. Older servants like Liu Song and Li Tie may not be interested anymore. With their energy and physical strength declining, they don't think they can practice any more skills. , but the younger ones naturally have the dream of soaring into the sky and rising to the top.

However, Chen Mu is not very interested in this. On the one hand, there is a system that even the most brilliant martial arts master cannot compare with. On the other hand, Ren Yan has just started to learn, so he has no ability to guide others, even if it is true. After I have learned some skills, whether I can teach them to others is another question. Teaching people and practicing on my own are two different things.

It is undoubtedly a fantasy to think that you can achieve any kung fu just by flattering Ren Yan and asking for his advice.

 But in this world, there is always a little hope, and some people flock to it.

"Chen Er, at your age, if you have the opportunity to practice swordsmanship, you might be able to do something. At our age, we don't have much ideas. Why don't you go over and take a look?"

Li Tie smiled at Chen Mu and spoke.

Chen Mu shook his head and said: "Kung Fu is not so easy to learn. If you don't practice it well, it will be no different from ordinary Sanshou."

In the past, he didn't know much about real martial arts skills, but now that he has mastered sword skills, he still understands a lot. At least at the 'beginner' level, the gap between him and Sanshou, who slashes horizontally and vertically, is not very big. Even if it is better than Sanshou, The hands are stronger, but in actual combat, the sword has no eyes and will be wounded by friction, and life and death are still unpredictable.

 You have to practice at least to a small degree to be considered to be of some standard.

It usually takes one or two years to practice to a small degree. If the talent is not enough, it may take several years. Although he doesn't know what Ren Yan's talent is, getting to this point is still relatively far away for the time being.

 “Haha, indeed, kung fu is not that easy to practice.”

Liu Song also said with a smile. He was old and knew some people who studied martial arts in the inner city martial arts hall. After practicing for a year or two, they were indeed somewhat good after they came out, but there were too many people who were hacked to death by random swords. Yes, the difference is not big.

The conversations between the few people were not loud, and they were inconspicuous in the corner of the noisy courtyard. However, Ren Yan, who was surrounded by everyone and flattering him, noticed Chen Mu when Chen Mu entered the courtyard.

Although they were a bit far apart and couldn't hear what Chen Mu, Liu Song and others said specifically, I could tell a few scattered words and mouth patterns, and I felt a little unhappy.

Chen Mu is the youngest one among the guards in Kujoli City besides him, but several times he invited Chen Mu to have a drink with him, but Chen Mu refused. He never gave him face, which also made him very unhappy. He felt that Chen Mu was bullying him because of his young age.

nowadays,

The family was lucky and had an opportunity to arrange for him to go to a martial arts school to learn swordsmanship. After the news spread, the guards in the yard were trying to get close to him and flattered him. Even the older guards treated him more. There were more smiles, but Chen Mu didn't come over as soon as he entered the courtyard, and there was no respect in his eyes.

Ren Yan felt dissatisfied for a while, but on the surface he smiled and walked a few steps towards Chen Mu and said: "Brother Chen said that if you don't practice kung fu well, it is no different from Sanshou. I have only learned it for a few days. Why don't you ask Brother Chen for some advice?”

Chen Mu naturally had no interest in fighting with Ren Yan, not to mention that Ren Yan was younger than him. For him, who had been born in two generations, he was considered a child. He shook his head and said: "It's just a joke for a layman. If Brother Ren Yan has this opportunity, he will naturally rise to the top if he masters a swordsmanship in the future."

This is like human speech.

Ren Yan's face looked better, he nodded at Chen Mu, and started laughing and chatting with the other police officers.

In the future, he will learn the art of swordsmanship, rise through the ranks, and become a chaplain or even a sergeant. There is really no need to compete with Chen Mu, an ordinary sergeant. I heard that Chen Mu's family is still very poor, and he will not be able to fight with him in the future. He is a person of the same level.

Many police officers in the courtyard did not say much about the brief exchange between Chen Mu and Ren Yan. They all just smiled. Only some younger police officers looked at Chen Mu secretly and felt that Chen Mu did not understand timing. Take advantage of the opportunity now to curry favor with Ren Yan, and when Ren Yan gains momentum in the future and truly becomes the bad guy, how can you pay attention to them?

 But no one would remind Chen Mu anything. Anyway, everyone has his own ambitions. If he is willing to work as a sergeant all his life with the older policemen and hang out at the bottom, there is nothing much to say.

 Even Liu Song and Li Tie said nothing.

It's just that both of them were a little surprised, because they were familiar with Chen Mu, and they knew that Chen Mu was usually cautious in doing things, but he should have some ambitions in his heart. They didn't expect it to be so dull today. Maybe he encountered something, and suddenly Have you figured it out and are you willing to live a normal life?

 In fact, it's not bad.

If you don't have any ambition, you won't do anything risky. No matter how poor they are, they can at least live a stable life with no shortage of food. It's a job that they can do until they are old.

“Okay, it's time to go on patrol, otherwise you will be punished if Qin Tou sees you.”

Liu Song finished drinking the bitter tea and stood up to greet Chen Mu and Li Tie.

"good."

Chen Mu drank half of the tea, got up, and went out of the yard with Li Tie and Liu Song to patrol. With the three leaders in charge, the other officers in the yard quickly dispersed in twos and threes, but many people looked at Chen Mu's leaving figure and shook their heads secretly.

Jiu Tiao Li is not a small area. The most prosperous street is full of restaurants and bustling with people.

The patrols by Chen Mu, Liu Song, Li Tie and others were basically just patrolling around the more prosperous and important streets and alleys. Their purpose was only to deter some local gangsters and stop them from causing trouble in the bustling restaurants and markets in broad daylight. .

After all, many restaurants and markets, in addition to giving money to local gangs every month, also give money to the City Guard. They do not ask the City Guard for protection and safety, but at least they need to be able to live up to their reputation.

certainly.

This money cannot flow into the hands of low-level officers like Chen Mu.

  Basically, the boss takes the bulk of the money, and then the other bosses below share some of it.

After a leisurely tour, Liu Song became interested for some reason and took Li Tie and Chen Mu to a restaurant to have a drink. However, after Chen Mu refused, he finally changed it to tea. .

Although in today's world, it's okay for a sergeant to go to a restaurant to have a drink openly. Even if he is unlucky and is bumped into by a sergeant, the most he can do is scold him and nothing will really happen. However, Chen Mu has always acted cautiously and would rather be patient. Don't make mistakes, so as not to fall into any trouble. After all, if you are really caught as a typical example and make a fuss, there will be no reason.

When Chen Mu said what he said, Li Tie thought it was reasonable, and Liu Song didn't force himself. Several people came to the restaurant, and with the flattery of the waiter who nodded and bowed, they sat down by the window, then ordered a pot of tea, and asked for more A plate of peanuts and fennel beans.

 While eating and chatting.

But I heard a noise outside.

Chen Mu looked sideways out of the window and saw a group of people fighting not far away, causing passers-by to retreat.

One of the groups was obviously outmatched and was beaten back steadily. Some vendors on the roadside who were unable to close their stalls were also killed in the chaos. It was unknown who was beaten and who was robbed. In short, it was a mess.

Even so, no matter whether it was Chen Mu, Liu Song, Li Tie and others, the three officers were sitting in the restaurant and watching from a distance, but no one got up to go over and take charge. They all just drank tea and watched.

This kind of thing is too common.

Generally, as long as it does not involve roadside restaurants, markets, **** shops, or just fights in the streets, it is basically ignored. Unless someone is killed in broad daylight, the City Guards may deal with it.

 out out out?

 “This Black Snake Gang is probably going to die.”

Liu Song squinted at the fighting in the distance and identified the group of people who were retreating.

 “Oh? How do you say this?”

 Li Tie ate a fennel bean, looked over with some strangeness, and said: "The Black Snake Gang has hundreds of people, and there are a lot of good guys in the gang. They have been doing well in the past year."

Chen Mu also looked at Liu Song, waiting for the next step.

He also knew about the Black Snake Gang. It was a relatively powerful gang in Jiujiao. Even the street where he lived and several adjacent ones belonged to the Black Snake Gang. They would come to collect the so-called gangs every month. 'Shelter money'.

Of course, for a serious officer like him, the Black Snake Gang would not come to beg for help, and every time those gang members would see him, they would nod.

"Hey, you don't know? The Black Snake Gang suffered a disaster not long ago. The gang leader was seriously injured, and the following incense masters also died from their injuries. Now I'm afraid they won't be able to survive for a few days."

"Look at the group that is chasing after them. I remember they were called the Red Gold Gang. They were unknown a few months ago. Now they are said to have annexed a lot of the Black Snake Gang's territory. I don't think it will take long to replace the entire Black Snake Gang. Black Snake helped.”

Liu Song chuckled, took a sip of tea and said.

Li Tie couldn't help but feel slightly moved after listening to Liu Song's words, and said: "So the Black Snake Gang is finished? The leader of the Black Snake Gang is an extraordinary figure. I heard that his gun skills are as fierce as those of poisonous snakes. He has developed his spear skills." He once killed dozens of people with one shot, and in our city guard department, only Mr. Chaosi can beat him."

Not only Li Tie, but also Chen Mu also had an impression of the leader of the Black Snake Gang, because the other party once came to the City Guards Department to mention someone about a matter. At that time, even the weakest person above him could not suppress the other party. In the end, The police officer went out and gave the explanation in person.
