Martial Arts: The Gunslinger

It rained heavily at the beginning of spring.

In the dark night sky, there were lightning and thunder, and countless plump raindrops fell from the sky and hit the streets.

Dadada!

In the heavy rain, the sound of horse hooves came from far away.

An ordinary white horse, carrying a young man in white, walked into this strange city in the heavy rain, stepping on the puddles of the entire long street.

The young man wore a straw raincoat and carried a long spear.

The white horse stopped in front of the only restaurant in the city. The young man handed the mount to the waiter, walked into the door with the long spear on his back, chose a seat by the window, threw a piece of silver to the waiter, and said:

"Have a bowl of plain noodles and cut a pound of beef"

"Okay, sir, would you like some wine?"

"I want to wait for someone tonight, no wine"

"Sir, please wait a moment. The food will be ready soon."

After sending the waiter away, Su Ming opened the window, and the noisy sound of rain immediately filled the entire restaurant.

"It's good that it's raining."Su Ming looked at the heavy rain in the night sky and murmured in his heart:"This is the only way to go south. This restaurant is the only one here. They will definitely come tonight."

A few days ago, after Su Ming left Mount Lu, he began to challenge the masters of spearmanship everywhere.

But what disappointed him was that the masters of the Yitian world were not good at using spears. Those so-called masters of spearmanship were mostly fakes who deceived the world and stole their reputations. They couldn't even catch a shot from him and were of no help to him at all.

"Sir, your meal is ready."

The waiter brought the plain noodles and respectfully placed them on the table, then brought a plate of beef.

""Well, it tastes OK."

Su Ming stared at the door while eating plain noodles, as if he was waiting for someone. The Flying Dragon Spear was placed next to him, ready to kill at any time.

Half a cup of tea later, the door of the restaurant was pushed open.

The waiter went over to greet the visitor as usual, but when he saw the visitor, the enthusiasm on his face turned into disgust, as if he had seen a fly.

The old shopkeeper, who had been standing behind the counter and silently fiddling with an abacus, also showed a look of disgust and waved his hand, signaling the waiter to send the visitor away quickly.

"Where did you come from, you stinky beggar? Go do what you need to do and don’t delay our business."

The waiter pushed and yelled, eager to drive the beggar out, but he didn’t want to touch his dirty clothes. The old beggar was indeed very dirty. His clothes and pants were tattered as if they had been gnawed by a dog. His black and thin body was exposed through the holes. His whole body exuded a sour and smelly smell. The sleeves he usually used to wipe his nose were already shiny.

The old beggar didn’t seem to know martial arts, and he had no connection with the Beggars’ Gang. The waiter beat and scolded him, but he huddled up. He said it was raining heavily outside and he had nowhere to go. He would not leave tonight no matter what.

"This beggar……"

Su Ming looked towards the corner and saw the old beggar's hands. A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, the door opened again.

A handsome young man in brocade clothes, holding a silver spear in his hand, followed by a group of men, entered the restaurant one after another.

""Yes, they are here."

Looking at this group of men, Su Ming's eyes sparkled.

He came to this restaurant tonight not to eat. He noticed that beside the young man in brocade clothes, there was a silver spear and a wooden box.

After the young man in brocade clothes and his group walked into the restaurant, they put two square tables together to make a long table. The young man in brocade clothes sat in the honored seat, and the other men sat at the bottom.

"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?"

The waiter saw that a distinguished guest had come and had no time to deal with the old beggar, so he quickly put on a smile and came to the side of the young man in brocade clothes. He knew that although the young man was young, he was the leader of the group.

The young man in brocade clothes did not speak, but the big man next to him smiled and said,"Take out all the most expensive dishes and the most expensive wine in your store. As long as you serve our young gang leader well, he will reward you with anything, enough for you to eat for ten years."

Hearing this, the waiter's eyes lit up, he was so happy that he bent his waist even lower.

The young man in brocade clothes seemed to no longer have his mind on the waiter. He pointed at the old beggar huddled in the corner and asked,"What does this man do?"

The waiter quickly apologized,"It's all my fault. I'll kick him out right away."

He swore silently in his heart that he would kick that damn stinky beggar out no matter what.

"No need."

The young man in brocade clothes shook his head and said lightly:"Give him a bowl of plain noodles, and I'll pay for it."

The waiter was stunned and looked at the young man from aristocratic family again. He immediately came to his senses and nodded repeatedly, saying:"This young man is really kind-hearted."

After that, he hurriedly ordered the kitchen to serve the dishes.

The young man in brocade clothes sat upright in the honorable seat and glanced at the old beggar in the corner. When the old beggar's eyes met the young man in brocade clothes, he grinned foolishly, revealing two rows of neat white teeth.

The old beggar was holding a roll of quilt in his arms, and the quilt was covered with a thick layer of grease, which was shiny. Beggars are a special group of people who have no fixed place to live. As long as the quilt is still there, they can make the world their home.

"Young Boss, at our current pace, we will be able to return to the headquarters the day after tomorrow. The things in this box will be safe soon, and we don't have to be so careful anymore."A bearded man said with a smile

"Shut up!"

The young man in brocade clothes had a look of blame, obviously blaming the other party for speaking without restraint.

Seeing the gloomy face of the young gang leader, the other men were silent, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down. Fortunately, the waiter brought the dishes over at this time, and the men saw the wine and delicious food, and the atmosphere became lively again.

Drinking is inevitable when traveling in the world, and after the wine jars were brought up, the men began to clink glasses, but it was a pity that the young man in brocade clothes did not allow them to drink more, and each person could only drink two glasses at most.

After two glasses of wine, someone began to flatter:"Our Giant Whale Gang has been established for so many years. When it comes to the exquisiteness of swordsmanship, of course our old gang leader is the first, but when it comes to the swiftness of gun skills, it must be our young gang leader!"

"You're right!" Another man said,"I remember it was last winter. The young leader and I went to Hanjiang to do some work. Unexpectedly, we were blocked by the two heroes of Hanjiang. They said that as long as you crawl through my crotch and call me grandpa three times, I will let you pass. Guess what the result was?"

"How is it?" Everyone asked curiously.

"The swords of the two heroes of Hanjiang River have not been unsheathed yet, but the silver spear of the young leader has already pierced their throats."The man said proudly. The young man in brocade clothes is called Mai Shaozheng, the only son of the leader of the Giant Whale Gang.

The Giant Whale Gang has been entrenched in Jiangnan for many years and has monopolized the shipping business. Although its foundation is not as good as the six major sects, it also has a considerable status in Jiangnan.

Mai Shaozheng started practicing with a spear at the age of ten and boasted of his superb spear skills. Hearing what everyone said at this moment, although he knew that it was intended to flatter, he couldn't help but feel a little proud and felt very happy in his heart.

Just when everyone was bragging, the door of the restaurant was suddenly pushed open.

A gloomy cold wind, mixed with the night rain, blew into the lobby from the door. The candlelight in the restaurant suddenly flickered, the light became dim, and the atmosphere was particularly weird.

"This is murderous……"

Su Ming put down his chopsticks, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked up at the door.

At the door, an old man in black appeared.
