The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

Chang Wei smiled faintly. "How do you know it won't work if you don't try?"

Without waiting for Li Jiu to speak, he continued, "I heard that you are good at martial arts. You can pick any one of the six people behind me. If you can beat me, I will leave. And from now on, you will be the only one in the black market pigeon market in Sijiu City."

Li Jiu's eyes flickered, his face was serious, and he was thinking secretly in his heart.

The other party dared to say this, he was either stupid or a powerful figure. The other party could support so many martial artists, so it was obviously not the former.

Moreover, he felt that he could not keep these people tonight, even if there were still more than a dozen people in the yard and a few guns in hand, he was not sure. Even if he could keep the people, the power behind the other party was not something he could resist, and he did not want to live a life of exile again. It seemed that he had no choice tonight. He could not hide, but he would not sit and wait for death. He would not give up the family business he had worked so hard for so many years.

Although he couldn't tell who was stronger and who was weaker among the six, he could see that An Yi had the highest status and was undoubtedly the strongest.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he pointed at An Yi. "Since you are so generous, I, Li Jiu, have been practicing martial arts since I was a child and I am also a very particular person. This brother should be the strongest among them, right? Then he should be it."

Chang Wei smiled and waved his hand. "Go ahead! Be gentle, we will be one of our own in a moment."

I thought this guy was really smart. His words sounded very righteous, but he actually had two purposes.

First of all, even if he lost to the strongest An Yi, it would be understandable and not too embarrassing.

Secondly, if you lose your kung fu but not your martial arts, you will be more likely to be taken seriously.

Then the two of them stood opposite each other in the living room, and the atmosphere became tense.

Li Jiu took a stance, signaling An Yi to make the first move.

He seemed to be humble, but in fact he was testing her. As the saying goes, when two masters fight, victory or defeat depends on a split second; whoever strikes first will reveal his weakness.

An Yi smiled indifferently and reminded him, "Take my punch."

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed forward and threw a simple straight punch as fast as lightning.

Li Jiu's originally steady mentality collapsed on the spot. The punch was too fast and he could only barely block it with his fist. At the moment when the two fists touched, he was shocked again. What a great strength.

As the thought flashed through his mind, he was knocked back several steps.

An Yi has a good foundation in the fourth level of Hunyuan physical training. Now he has five times the strength of his body. His strength alone is 500 kilograms. This is not as simple as one plus one equals two. If you know kung fu and use the skills of strength, your attack power can be far more than 500 kilograms. Just like Chang Wei, his attack power can be several times greater than his own strength.

Li Jiu steadied his body, his eyes full of solemnity.

He originally thought that even if he couldn't beat him, the difference wouldn't be too big. He didn't expect that the young man in front of him was so strong, fast, and powerful that just one punch made his blood boil.

But thinking that the opponent was so young, he certainly didn't have as much experience in fighting as him, so he could only make up for the difference in strength with experience. In this situation, he could only fight with offense instead of defense. Then he immediately attacked. As the saying goes, Baji plus Pi Gua, even gods are afraid, which shows how strong he is.

He immediately unleashed his Pi Gua Quan like a violent storm, with an unstoppable momentum.

But the gap was there after all. After only a few moves, An Yi stopped defending and used a Baji Technique to forcefully open the door followed by a shock punch, instantly hitting Li Jiu in the chest, sending him flying two or three meters backwards and falling to the ground.

Qian Ming quickly ran over to help him up and asked, "Master Li, are you okay?"

Li Jiu stood firm and shook his head, looking at An Yi with astonishment in his eyes. As the person involved, he understood that the other party was showing mercy. He used the shock punch, which was also very particular. The key was to knock him away, otherwise he would be seriously injured if he didn't die. He thought that if such a master was willing to be under his command, then with such a backer, Sijiu City might really be able to dominate the market. He quickly took advantage of the situation. "Thank you for showing mercy. Li Jiu is willing to accept the defeat."

"Thank you!" An Yi bowed and returned to Chang Wei.

Li Jiu took a breath, called Master Qian Ming to join him, and respectfully stepped forward and clasped his fists. "Master Chang, I will follow your instructions."

Chang Wei said calmly, "Help me find out the situation of the other four black markets, their locations, how many armed personnel they have, etc."

The location of the black market is very secretive. If we hadn't found out that Li Jiu was in the Pigeon Market tonight, it would have been very difficult to find his black market location. These black markets are not in fixed locations, so local tyrants are more adept at this kind of thing.

Because you can turn your pigeon market into a black market at any time, and ordinary people won't notice it. The difference between the pigeon market and the black market is contraband. The black market also sells ordinary things. As long as you quietly add contraband, the pigeon market will become a black market.

Li Jiu's eyes lit up. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. He didn't expect it to be serious. He responded excitedly. "Don't worry."

Chang Wei stood up. He didn't stay any longer after finishing his work. "An Yi, you guys stay and help. When you have time, you can teach Li Jiu the first level of physical training."

After saying this, he left slowly under Li Jiu's respectful gaze.

He still used the simplest method to control people tonight. After showing his muscles, he gave an opportunity that could not be refused. No one is without ambition, they just don't have the opportunity.

An Yi and his team stayed behind to also provide surveillance.

Accepting Li Jiu not only helped with official business, but also with private affairs. During the disaster period, although Lai Fu could airdrop food silently within a certain range, it was better not to do it so mysteriously in Sijiu City. It was just right to use the pigeon market.

The main reason is that charitable organizations have not been allowed to exist in the country in the past few decades, otherwise it would be much more reasonable to directly establish a charity foundation.

After the others had gone far away, Li Jiu started to ask, "Brother An Yi, what is the physical exercise that Master Chang mentioned?"

He keenly felt that this was specifically instructed and must be a good thing.

"Old Li, my Kung Fu is not that good. I have only learned the somersault for two years, but I only used less than 30% of my strength in fighting you. Do you know why?" An Yi smiled and asked back. Without waiting for Li Jiu to answer, he continued. "Because we were trained by the head, and we all practiced the Hunyuan physical training created by the head. Normally, the first level can improve the overall physical fitness by 50%, the second level can double it, and the third level can triple it, but it is not fixed. It varies from person to person according to potential."

He stopped talking here. An Yi had already seen Li Jiu's shining eyes. For someone who practices martial arts, such temptation is too great, so he patted him on the shoulder.

"Old Li, do your job well and perform well to earn our boss's trust. There are five levels of Hunyuan Bodybuilding Gymnastics. My potential is not that great, but I have improved from the fourth level to about five times that of human power. You can imagine how much the fifth level will improve me."

Li Jiu felt his head buzzing. His potential was not that good, but he was trying to increase his human strength by five times. Even in most of his life, his kung fu strength was only about twice that of human strength. If he could learn the fifth level on this basis, wouldn't that be... Thinking of this, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

An Yi stared at him fiercely and said with disdain, "Old Li, you should know yourself and stop thinking about things you shouldn't. Even if you have trained to the fifth level, you can't handle a full-strength punch."

In addition to the tasks assigned by Chang Wei, they also have the goal of monitoring Li Jiu to prevent information leakage.

Li Jiu felt a chill on his back, and quickly killed the thought in his mind, and couldn't help asking, "Master Chang is also a martial artist?"

He really didn't notice at all. Chang Wei didn't have the characteristics of a martial artist, and his temperament was not reflected either.

When Chang Wei's strength was mentioned, awe flashed in An Yi's eyes. "Old Li, do your job well. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask. Arrange a room for us and I'll teach you the first level of physical exercise tomorrow morning."

Four words suddenly popped up in Li Jiu's mind: return to nature?
