Chapter 23 Being Hit
Seeing that Tang Shuo was ready, the man immediately exerted force on his feet and rushed over.
Each of his steps was small. The distance that could have been covered in one step now required three steps, but his steps were extremely fast.
When he reached Tang Shuo, the man stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Shuo's shoulder.
After seeing Tang Shuo dodge, the man was not surprised. He took another step forward and punched him one after another.
Tang Shuo knew that his opponent must be no simple man, but after seeing the boxing style he used, he grinned.
The man used Xingyiquan, which was once very popular.
It is said that a Tai Chi practitioner can stay indoors for ten years, but a Xingyi practitioner can kill someone in a year.
This sentence has fully explained the dominance of Xingyiquan. Xingyiquan is an external martial art, which mainly relies on tendon strength and bone strength, while internal strength is assisted by tendon strength and bone strength to enhance the power of attack.
The man's boxing style was simple and plain, his movements were tight and compact, and what was very rare was that his opponent cleverly integrated the inch power of his fist into every move, making his already powerful boxing style even more difficult to defend against.
Tang Shuo dodged a series of consecutive punches from his opponent, and spotted a small flaw in his opponent's moves. He changed his fist into a palm, and his entire arm was like a big knife, chopping directly towards the opponent's shoulder point in the chest.
The Jianjing acupoint is located at the midpoint of the line connecting the Dazhui and the acromion, near the human clavicle. In traditional Chinese medicine, this acupoint is often used to treat soft tissue diseases of the shoulder and neck.
If the strength is great enough, a powerful blow can paralyze the opponent.
The man didn't expect Tang Shuo to suddenly burst out with such a fast speed. He wanted to move sideways to defend but was hit on the shoulder by Tang Shuo's palm.
Fortunately, his reaction speed was fast enough and he twisted his body temporarily to avoid the vital parts.
Tang Shuo succeeded in his attack, but he didn't press on. He withdrew his hand, looked at the man and said, "You are from the Cao family in western Jin, right?"
He didn't use any strong force when he attacked just now, so although the man was hit, he was not injured.
The energy in Tang Shuo's body was like the strength in an ordinary person's body: every time he used up his energy, it would be gone. When his energy was exhausted, he would experience the same symptoms as an ordinary person would experience, and it would take some time to recover.
The recovery time is relatively long, so Tang Shuo will only use it unless it is an emergency or absolutely necessary.
This time, the opponent's boxing skills were very fierce, and were no less powerful than Guan Deyong of the Jiang family. It would take some effort for Tang Shuo to defeat him directly without using any strength.
He should have defeated the opponent directly, but Tang Shuo became interested in the opponent's identity, so he kept a backup plan when he attacked.
The man was stunned and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"
"Judging from your boxing skills, they seem to be from the Cao family." Tang Shuo said, "I wonder how Mr. Cao Sanyuan is doing now?"
The man's name was Cao Jiwu, and he was from the Cao family in western Shanxi.
Hearing Tang Shuo mention his grandfather's name, he asked in confusion: "Do you know my grandfather?"
"I met him once when I was a kid." Tang Shuo said with a smile, "I was young and ignorant at the time, and I almost burned down the old persimmon tree in the old man's yard."
Cao Jiwu was horrified.
The other party knew that his boxing style came from the Cao family, which could be said to be knowledgeable. It was also understandable that he called out his grandfather's name. After all, people who knew more about Xingyiquan had heard the name of his grandfather Cao Sanyuan.
But the other party actually knew that the persimmon tree in my grandfather's yard caught fire more than ten years ago. This couldn't be fake, and it sounded like this incident was done by the other party.
He heard about this incident later. He was not at home at the time. He only found out that it was accidentally set on fire by a guest.
"My grandfather is in good health," Cao Jiwu replied.
Tang Shuo nodded and said, "I will definitely visit Mr. Cao if I have the chance in the future."
"You know my grandfather. I shouldn't have attacked you." Cao Jiwu nodded and gestured, "But you're taking money to help someone get rid of their misfortune. I can see that you're quite skilled. Don't show any mercy. Fight with all your might."
At first, after Ji Jike, the founder of Xingyiquan, created Xingyiquan, he accepted two disciples, one was Ma Xueli from Heluo, and the other was Cao Yinghai, the great-grandfather of Cao Jiwu.
When Xingyiquan was flourishing, the Ma family and the Cao family were both prominent families.
As time goes by, the Ma family has long disappeared in the long river of history. The Cao family has experienced historical turmoil and has survived to this day with great difficulty.
Today, the Cao family is the only orthodox descendant of Xingyiquan in all of China.
Logically speaking, they should continue to develop and expand.
However, although Cao Jiwu's grandfather Cao Sanyuan had a lot of skills, he was unwilling to show up in public, and was not moved by money. He only accepted very talented children as his disciples.
This led to the Cao family's expenses being insufficient to cover their income.
Cao Jiwu was introduced by someone to work as a bodyguard for Li Ruiyi to supplement the family income.
…………
Jiang Tiantong suddenly walked up to Li Ruiyi and said, "Let him go. I'll give you 30% of Xinghai International Travel's market share in Chang'an City."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Tiantong turned and walked towards the door of the banquet hall.
This was the solution she came up with after weighing it in her mind for a long time, and she believed that Li Ruiyi would definitely agree to it.
She agreed to attend this dinner because the Jiang family and the Huangfu family had reached a cooperation agreement in the field of communications. She came here at the invitation of Huangfu Yuanzhou as a small counterattack against the Song family and the Li family.
Later, he competed with the woman who offered one million for Tang Shuo's calligraphy, just to test her attitude.
The reason why she helped Tang Shuo out of trouble was not because she was worried that Tang Shuo didn't have the ability to get out of here, but because she didn't want the Jiang family's trump card to be exposed too early.
If Tang Shuo attracts the attention of the other four major families at this time, then this trump card will not be able to work as expected.
Although she still didn't know what kind of help Tang Shuo could bring to the Jiang family, she still took Jiang Hongtao's words to heart.
Jiang Tianwei, who looked anxious, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard his sister finally speak up to help Tang Shuo.
As long as Jiang Tiantong is willing to help Tang Shuo, there will be absolutely no problem.
In his opinion, Tang Shuo and Li Jia became enemies because of him. Now that Tang Shuo and the Li family are in conflict, he should help Tang Shuo.
But even though he had the intention, he couldn't get a word in at all in this situation.
Seeing his sister was about to leave, Jiang Tianwei said hello to Tang Shuo, said goodbye to Song Wenchang beside him, and immediately chased after her.
Li Ruiyi watched Jiang Tiantong leave and said to Cao Jiwu, who was in a stalemate with Tang Shuo on the court, "Jiwu, stop it and let him go."
Jiang Tiantong was right. Although Li Ruiyi really wanted to keep Tang Shuo here, he could not refuse the conditions proposed by Jiang Tiantong.
Chang'an City is a famous tourist city in China and has always been controlled by the Jiang family.
Xinghai International Travel, owned by the Jiang family, once occupied 80% of Changan's market share, while the remaining 20% was occupied by some small local companies.
The Li family had long wanted to get involved in Chang'an, but they failed at one point.
Chang'an City's 30% market share may not seem like much, but only by gaining a foothold in Chang'an can the Li family's tourism industry be extended into the northwest region.
This condition is quite generous.
After hearing what Li Ruiyi said, Cao Jiwu suddenly felt inexplicably relieved. He smiled and said to Tang Shuo, "Looks like we don't have to fight anymore."
Tang Shuo nodded and said to Lu Wanqi who was standing beside him, "Let's go."
Lu Wanqi nodded immediately and followed Tang Shuo to the door.
"You're lucky this time," Li Ruiyi said to Tang Shuo. "If something like this happens again, you'll never get away with it."
This incident caused the Li family to lose a little insignificant face, but in return it brought an opportunity for the development of its tourism industry. In fact, the Li family made a profit.
Tang Shuo turned around with a smile on his face, shrugged at Li Ruiyi, then looked again at the strange woman who took a picture of his calligraphy, and walked out with Lu Wanqi without looking back.
The strange woman was in her thirties. She wasn't pretty, but she wasn't ugly either. In short, she was the kind of woman who wouldn't turn heads if she were seen on the street.
"There's nothing good to watch now, so I should leave." Huangfu Yuanzhou yawned, then said with a smile, "Rui Yi, do you want to go to Hongyingyan for a drink?"
"No, I still have things to deal with." Li Ruiyi refused.
Huangfu Yuanzhou scratched his head and walked towards the entrance of the banquet hall alone.
After getting into a specially made bulletproof Rolls-Royce Phantom that had been parked at the hotel entrance, Huangfu Yuanzhou said, "Go check on two people. One is Tang Shuo, and the other is a woman who spent three million on a calligraphy auction."
"yes."
…………
As soon as Tang Shuo and Lu Wanqi left the hotel, Lu Wanqi, who had been silent the entire time, asked, "Who is that woman?"
"Which woman?" Tang Shuo asked back.
"That's the woman in white who said she was your friend."
"Her." Tang Shuo smiled and said, "She is the granddaughter of my master's friend. We have only met twice and have never spoken alone."
Seeing that Tang Shuo didn't seem to be lying, Lu Wanqi's frown finally relaxed.
Then Lu Wanqi felt that she was a bit of an idiot.
At first glance, the other party is a beautiful princess who is either rich or noble. How could such a woman have any relationship with Tang Shuo?
But why was he so nervous just now? Was he worried that Tang Shuo would be snatched away?
Lu Wanqi quickly denied herself in her heart: This is definitely not the case. I am just caring about my subordinates as an employer.
But that woman is so beautiful!
…………
On the way back, Tang Shuo was driving and talking to Lu Wanqi about sending her to the crew for filming the day after tomorrow. When the car just drove to the roundabout at an intersection, a light truck appeared on Tang Shuo's left.
When the two vehicles were about to meet, the truck suddenly seemed to lose control and roared towards the Wrangler that Tang Shuo and Lu Wanqi were riding in at high speed.
If an ordinary driver saw this situation, most of the time he would immediately step on the accelerator and speed up to avoid the truck.
But Tang Shuo has never hesitated to speculate on every situation he encounters with the greatest malice.
He had just slowed down because of the turn, and it would take at least eight seconds for this Wrangler to accelerate to 100 kilometers. What if the truck was targeting him, and the other party suddenly turned while he was accelerating, then there would be no way to avoid it.
"careful."
Tang Shuo held Lu Wanqi's shoulder with one hand, gave her a warning, then stepped on the accelerator while turning the steering wheel with his other hand.
squeak……
The tires rubbed against the ground, making a sharp and piercing sound.
Lu Wanqi, who didn't know what had happened, was about to ask the reason when she heard a loud "bang" and the Wrangler was knocked flying.
However, the truck that was supposed to hit the side door of the Wrangler hit the Wrangler's rear end hard.
After feeling the huge impact, Tang Shuo knew that his guess was absolutely correct.
The truck's target was their car!
The reason why Tang Shuo made such a judgment is that the load capacity of ordinary light trucks is very limited, so the power will not be too great.
He had just been pressing the brakes of the Wrangler. If it was just an ordinary truck, it would only push the Wrangler forward a few meters at most. Even if it hit him at high speed, it would not produce such a strong impact force.
And now the whole car was flying in the air.
It is not difficult to see that this light truck has undergone extensive modifications.
