Teng Liang was confused and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Tang Zhaodao: "It means leaving the gang and living a normal life."
Teng Liang said: "Normal? I can live a normal life now, right? I have food and drink."
Tang Zhao was speechless for a moment, then continued: "Is gang life really normal? Aren't you fighting and killing every day, and your life is precarious? Didn't you also say that you either bully others or you are bullied. Isn't this normal? How long have you been living in this life?
There is no hope. Can’t we live a peaceful life?”
Teng Liang said: "Anshengzi? You mean to be a small boss or a small landlord? But that kind of people are usually bullied by us? When I go out, I pass by them sideways without even looking at them.
.You can reach out and grab whatever you want, but they don’t even dare to fart. Isn’t it better for me than them?”
Tang Zhao couldn't help but said: "How can it be fun just to bully ordinary people? Aren't there more people bullying you?"
Teng Liang said disapprovingly: "Then they are weaker than me, so of course I bully them. Those who bully me bully me because they are stronger than me. But I will not be bullied all the time. What you said to me back then
It’s called ‘Don’t bully young people who are poor’, it’s such a good saying. I always remember that when I am stronger than them, I will bully them back ten times.”
Tang Zhao suddenly sighed and looked at the sky.
Seeing Tang Zhao's expression, Teng Liang also sighed and said: "So, you are still the same? You haven't changed? That's good. You are different from me. You have studied and can be a high official.
, can walk on the right path. I can't walk on your Yangguan Road, so I will walk on the single-plank bridge. I will seek a happy revenge and travel across the rivers and lakes. One person will be full and the whole family will not be hungry. The head will fall off and the bowl will be scarred. People die..."
Tang Zhao stopped and said, "You learned these words from the people in your gang, right? Is the person who said these words to you over twenty-five? How are you doing? Can you sleep at night?"
Teng Liang said: "I think they are having a good time. In their thirties, they still want to drink vegetarian wine, drink flower wine, drink flower wine, and touch Pai Gow. I don't see anyone who can't sleep?"
"
He smiled and said: "Zhaozi, you are a good citizen. You always think about having a property and settling down. If you don't live in a house or lie down on the ground, you will feel that you have nothing to lose. But I am different. I have been running around in the world since I was a child. One city today, tomorrow
A village where you can be free regardless of your destination. I can't get used to living a life of ten acres of land and one cow, with my wife and children on the hot bed. Give me a stick and a knife, and let me go out and kill people and spill blood on the streets.
My life is more comfortable than farming."
Tang Zhao smiled and shook his head and said: "That's right. I remembered that you liked taking risks when you were a child, and you really couldn't settle down. But you don't have to be a gangster to take risks? Why don't you learn some martial arts seriously from a good master?
What? Go out to the rivers and lakes, and there are many people fighting and killing in the rivers and lakes. On the opposite side are heroes like you who lick blood with their swords, so you just have to cut them at each other. Isn't it clean if you treat others like no one else?"
Teng Liang said: "Apprenticeship? I'm about to do it. I can go to Black Spider Villa to become my apprentice soon."
Tang Zhao shook his head and said: "Black Spider Villa is not a good force. The chance of getting out alive is less than 30%. You like to be at ease, not to seek death, right?"
Thinking back to the time when he lived next door to the Grape Courtyard, how could he not know how cruel the selection of people at Black Spider Villa is? The assessment was based on real dead people. In the previous joint examination of the four departments, the Xinrui Camp said that it allowed one person to die, which caused dissatisfaction from all parties, and the Five Poison Association
Even if only one person is chosen to die, the higher-ups won't even frown.
When it comes to being ruthless to enemies, there are many gangs in the world, but when it comes to being ruthless to one's own people, they have to be the Five Poison Society.
Teng Liang was shocked when he heard this and said: "So cruel? More people died than us on the streets?"
Tang Zhao asked back: "Don't you have this awareness? How can you join the Five Poisons Association without this awareness? The streets are the court's territory, how many people can die? Once you enter the Jianghu, the court will have less control, and the King of Hell will have more control. Black Spider
Dead people in the Villa are like dead insects."
In fact, it is not just the Five Poison Society, it is too common for people to die in the Jianghu. Going to the front line, even a swordsman will die in one death. As long as you learn martial arts, even if the earthen pot is broken in the well, sooner or later, those who are brave and ruthless will die.
He died an unexpected death. Tang Zhao was also mentally prepared.
Then again, are ordinary people safe? If there is a sinister disaster or an invasion by turtle bandits, the city can collapse overnight. From this point of view, it is better to learn martial arts.
"If you just say that you are ready to die and don't have the consciousness to die, just be a rich man. Think about the old men in the gang. After several years of work, they are still scrambling to clear their names, buy property, and marry.
A wife and a child? If you are in your thirties, you can only drink and get drunk today. Do you don’t want to or can’t?”
Teng Liang looked a little confused and said: "According to what you say...you really have a way for me to learn martial arts from a good master?"
Tang Zhao let out a long sigh, braced himself, and said, "This is natural."
…
maybe.
To be honest, Tang Zhao didn't seem to have much connections in the martial arts world, and the martial arts sect he was most familiar with was actually the Black Spider Villa.
His real connections and foundation are in the government, with Marquis Gao Yuan. He can directly meet the Marquis himself, and has a teacher-student relationship with Zhang Rong, who is basically the chief staff officer now. He can work in several branches of the Prosecution Department.
Talk, let alone the special status of being a swordsmith.
But Tang Zhao would never let Teng Liang have anything to do with the official family. From the moment Teng Liang said the theory of "bully those who are weaker than me", Tang Zhao had no idea.
To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't let go of their small friendship, Tang Zhao would have wanted to break up the relationship at the beginning of the conversation. It was really a high-level argument that triple-jumped on Tang Zhao's nerves.
If it weren't for Liang Zi, Tang Zhao would have a fit on the spot if it were any acquaintance he later met.
The more he grew up, the more Tang Zhao valued like-minded people. As his status rose, he also had more opportunities to choose his companions. If they were compatible, he would stay, if not, he would leave. If he was really disgusted, he could still draw his sword against him. There was absolutely no need for him to wrong himself and others.
Just like Wei Se, there was nothing wrong with helping him before and after, but the most important thing was to always follow Tang Zhao's stance without deviating from it. Regardless of whether they agreed from the bottom of their hearts or not, the two parties were walking the same path, so Tang Zhao
Zhao is willing to help him make a sword.
Like Jiao Feng, the two also had a friendship back then, but Tang Zhao took the initiative to invite him to meet again during the New Year, not only because of an old friendship when he was a child, but also because Jiao Feng said during the chat: "It's no fun to bully the weak."
Words. In a place like Black Spider Villa, being able to hide these words is already the best way to escape the mire and remain untainted.
Tang Zhao agreed with him. If the friendship was stronger, Jiao Feng would have a chance to obtain the sword seed, and Tang Zhao could help him forge a sword.
At this moment, Teng Liang, who has the deepest relationship with Tang Zhao and even has a childhood filter, is the farthest away from him. The two sides have long been polar opposites.
In other words, the two of them were never close to each other.
In the beginning, it was just that the two lines had an intersection by chance. After the intersection, they stretched out separately, and they could only go farther and farther. Even if Tang Zhao had not achieved anything, he was still a poor scholar in despair, the two of them would still go farther and farther.
But Tang Zhao is still a human being after all, and the feelings he had as a child are still difficult to let go of, so he can't do anything to cut off his robe and sever his righteousness. Even because their situations are so different, it's hard for him to show off and teach Teng Liang a lesson.
What.
He simply cannot in good conscience allow Teng Liang to come into contact with power. A gangster who can patrol the streets can bully ordinary people, but what else can he do if he has the legitimate power of the government to back him up? The atmosphere of the District Procuratorate is quite clean.
It is really not easy, and it requires the self-restraint of the swordsmen and the teachings of the training camp.
Of course, there was actually a lot of "sand" inside. Tang Zhao didn't have time to pick out the sand, so he really couldn't do anything to add sand to it with his own hands.
Tang Zhao really wanted to help Teng Liang find a "serious" disciple, or in other words, he wanted to help him find a teacher who could teach and teach people, and then give him a hand. At eighteen, there should still be hope.
This teacher should not only be able to teach, but also have patience and tolerance. He should not be like Xingji, who has a clear distinction between love and hate, and is eccentric, nor should he be too pedantic and upright. It is best to be round on the outside and square on the inside, with extraordinary means and righteousness.
Only when it is clear can it be truly guided.
...Does he know this kind of person?
Hmm, I seem to know you.
Just...Marquis Gao Yuan.
Just kidding, if he introduces Teng Liang to Marquis Gao Yuan, let alone the Marquis, Xing Ji will come and whip him.
Although Tang Zhao couldn't think of anything at the moment, he agreed very simply. He really wanted to find a teacher.
Teng Liang said with a smile: "Can it be a gangster sect? I heard that the white gang has a lot of restrictions. I want to join the gangster."
Tang Zhao only felt very tired and said to himself: "I don't recognize the gangsters. To tell you the truth, the gangsters will not end well. You should be smarter. Just wait for me for a few days and I will find a good way out for you. When you go out, you will be like
Personally."
His tone was not so polite, and Teng Liang was not disgusted, saying: "Great. You tell me one night in advance, and I will put sacks on the leaders of the Eight-legged Gang, beat them severely, and set fire to their lair.
, I’m leaving now.”
Tang Zhao said: "Aren't you brothers on the road?"
Teng Liang said: "Brothers are bullshit. When I get rich, the first one I kick will be his mother's brother."
The two stopped talking about serious things and talked about their childhood experiences. They relaxed a little and became harmonious. When they saw the meal, Teng Liang pulled him and said: "Come on, you are on my brother's territory. I will take you to eat something delicious."
Let’s go and show off our friendship as a landlord..."
Tang Zhao pointed at himself and said: "I am from Muncheng, this is my hometown, and I am the landlord."
Teng Liang laughed and said, "That's different. There are places in the market that only we know about, and only when I go there will they serve them the best food."
Tang Zhao agreed to keep the appointment, and the two pushed the door open and saw no one in the yard. Although Jiao Feng and the others had left early, Wei Se was not there either. There was only a cotton coat hanging on the pergola. It was when Teng Liang met Tang Zhao
The one you took off.
Tang Zhao pointed to the cotton clothes and said, "Isn't this yours? Why did you take it off?"
Teng Liang smiled and said: "I have a little baby in my clothes..." He took out a big spider from his clothes. It was indeed a specialty of Black Spider Villa. "Aren't you afraid of biting you? Look at you.
Looks like, am I worried in vain?" He put the cotton clothes on again.
Tang Zhao felt warm in his heart. He could still consider this despite the surprise of the reunion. Teng Liang was a careful and good friend.
The two opened the door and saw Wei Se standing outside the door and leaning on the corner of the street, obviously not wanting to disturb Tang Zhao.
Tang Zhao nodded and apologized, saying: "I'll be back later today. You don't have to wait for me."
Wei Se nodded and turned back. Teng Liang had already walked over, but suddenly he flew up and kicked Wei Se.
Wei Se didn't look back or dodge. Tang Zhao grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him a few steps away. He gritted his teeth and said, "What are you doing? You are fine - like a human being."
Teng Liang groaned and said: "You just take care of me, why don't you take care of my subordinates? They just bullied me, why didn't you say anything? Is it because my brother didn't get along well and embarrassed you?"
Tang Zhao suppressed his breath and blurted out: "How dare you talk nonsense to me? Did you lose your mind and go crazy before you drank a few drops of horse urine? Get out." After spouting a curse word that he would never utter in the past, he shook his head.
, smiled apologetically at Wei Se again, and dragged Teng Liang away.
