Kobe, take the basketball fruit to the Pirates

Chapter 19 Inquiring News (Two in One)
On July 23, the weather was fine.

There are still eight days until the day when the Naqiang Order takes effect, and there are still two days before the day when Pike leaves.

The rain last night stopped in the middle of the night, so although it was sunny today, it gave people a muggy feeling.

After Bai Lina said goodbye to her family, she came to the Brian Pharmacy in the south of the town.

I wanted to say goodbye to Pi Ke, but when I got to the door, I couldn't move any further.

"Forget it, it's better not to see each other"

After hesitating for a moment, Bailina finally didn't knock on the door of Brian's pharmacy.She didn't know what to be afraid of.

Afraid that Pike would cry and not let her go?Or did Piko go with her to Burning Castle?
Anyway, she left, but not resolutely.I couldn't help but look back several times, until I left the town, until my sight was blocked by mountains.

Today's small town guard corps, after a major downsizing, still carried out the whole town training on time and on schedule, but this time they bypassed Brian's pharmacy intentionally or unintentionally.

But in the dark, there were two pairs of eyes, following their steps closely until they returned to their training ground.

"It was guessed by the boss, there is really a formed guard regiment."

The bandits stood on the opposite side of the street, looking at the guard regiment composed of more than 50 people in the school grounds. This number is definitely not small.Because they Beiliang mountain bandits are no more than four NO.50 people.

If they had come a day earlier, they might have seen hundreds of guards, and they might have been frightened away.

"The guards are not afraid"

Another bandit with a long face frowned, "I just don't know if there are any powerful figures in this guard regiment."

"Brother Face, shall we inquire about it?"

The long face glanced at Xiao Luo, thought for a moment and nodded.So the two waited until ten o'clock, carried what looked like cargo bags, and walked towards the only tavern at the entrance of the town.

in the tavern.

Because it rained yesterday, I couldn't do a lot of work, so there are quite a lot of people in the tavern today.

"Have you heard that Er Gazi, who went out to collect herbs in the mountains yesterday, didn't come back all night?"

As a frequent visitor to the tavern, Huck has always been known as the ear of the town, and he can hear any news and then pass it on.

"Could it be that it rained yesterday and accidentally slipped and fell down the mountain?"

Sam on the side also said: "I guess, what kind of medicine did you say he took on a rainy day? It's a pity that he is young."

At this time, the owner of the tavern, excited by the conversation, also came over with a glass of wine, and said with his mouth curled up, "Isn't it because the pharmacy in the town is closed, and it's useless to leave a waste."

What he said was a bit cruel. Many people in the town have received the favor of old Brian, so no one answered.

The atmosphere fell into embarrassment.Huck, who started the topic, stood up to liven up the atmosphere at this time.

"It's possible to stumble and fall off the cliff, but have you ever thought that Er Gazi might have encountered a bandit?"

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused a heated discussion among everyone, and bandits have always been an enduring topic of conversation.

At this time, a long-faced man and a short man pricked up their ears, occasionally showing meaningful smiles.

But they just listened and never interrupted.

"There should be no bandits here!"

A man with some fear in his eyes.

Huck looked at him, smiled and said, "Don't worry, you don't have to be afraid, as long as Adnan's daughter is here, you don't have to be afraid of any bandits."

Everyone became interested when they heard it. Obviously, Huck knew more information than them. They only knew that the daughter of Adnan's family was the captain of the guard regiment this time, and she was very talented since she was a child.As for the others, I don't know.

But the two men with long faces were the most interested. They looked at each other and couldn't help but put their heads in front of each other.

Huck was smug when he saw everyone's anticipation, but before he had time to tell what he got, the gossip about Bailina was interrupted by the tavern owner.

"You mean that girl Bai Lina!"

The tavern owner shook his hand and took a sip of his wine, "She left this morning and said a few words to me."

This remark surprised everyone, and even Huck froze.There is a feeling that the original sense of security has suddenly disappeared.

Huck's eyes widened, and he asked in panic, "How did you get away?"
"She said she would go to the capital to do something"

The tavern owner looked at him and shrugged his shoulders with disdain, "I said Huck, you are too timid, why are you pinning your hopes on a girl?"

Huck glanced at him angrily, "Bai Lina is the only apprentice of the Minister of the Third Division of the Capital Defense Force."

"hiss"

Everyone gasped when they heard the news.

Especially the long-faced man, even his face turned pale.The boss is still wise. Fortunately, there was no sneak attack last night, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

The tavern owner was different from everyone else at this time, feeling that Huck had let him down.His face flushed a little.

He murmured softly, "Then she's gone too."

Immediately, the scene fell into an awkward and depressing atmosphere again, but this time it was what he wanted to see.

Just listen to him continue to say: "Don't worry, even if this bandit comes, those newly trained boys are unreliable, and I will still be there. Why should the bandit pass by my tavern first? My grandfather built the tavern back then. Here, it is to be the first to rush up when the bandits come."

This is one of the reasons why he looks down on Beko.

There was nothing false about what he said.However, the attitude of the crowd has not changed much.

That's what your grandfather thought back then, and your grandfather was withdrawn from the Capital Defense Force, so his strength should not be underestimated.

as for you
Everyone in the town knew that although he was tall and round, his strength was only a little stronger than ordinary people.

However, the two thieves didn't know much about this. When they heard the tavern owner's words, they both turned blue, because they were frightened by Bai Lina's incident before, and they seemed to be a bit of a ghost.

"Then is your grandfather still alive?"

The long-faced man asked nervously, his eyes filled with anticipation, but people didn't know whether he expected to be 'in' or 'not in'.

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the tavern fell on these two people.

Because everyone in the town knew about the situation, it could be concluded that these two people were definitely not from the town.

But as the owner of the tavern, he didn't think so.He saw the long-faced man's expression and his words, but felt that the other party was teasing him.

Because everyone in the town knew that his grandfather had died a long time ago.

So he yelled, "Your grandpa is gone, but your grandpa is still here."

The long-faced man immediately understood when he heard this, and it was done.Although I was very excited in my heart, I couldn't see anything on the surface.

But the other city was not as big. As soon as the tavern owner finished speaking, he slapped his palms, and the corner of his mouth almost reached his ears.

The tavern owner saw this, how could he bear it?Is it tolerable or unbearable!With a big belly, he walked towards the two bandits, the wine bottle already in his hand.

The long-faced bandit also knew that the situation was not good. At this time, he couldn't fight, and he couldn't explain it. There was only 36 tricks, and the best was to go.

Pulled another bandit and ran as fast as he could without looking back.

After they ran out of the tavern, the tavern owner stopped chasing them and just cursed a few words from a distance.But the two bandits at the moment didn't care at all, and even wanted to laugh.

Because the news they want is also grasped at this moment.

There's a powerful presence in town, but it just left this morning.There are quite a few guards on the school field, but they are all newly trained.

There is also a gift, that is, the grandfather of the tavern owner is dead.

in the tavern.

After those two people fled in a hurry, the people in the tavern slowly came to their senses.

He was not from the town, but he was keen to listen to the excitement. When he finally learned that the powerful person in the town had died, he applauded and almost applauded.

Who is this?No matter how stupid the people in the tavern are, they can guess it.

Ever since, when the tavern owner turned around and came back, he found that there was no sound in the tavern, and everyone looked at him resentfully.

The tavern owner who was watching was a little hairy, and his fierce look softened, and he asked everyone: "What's wrong? Why are you all looking at me? Those two boys really deserve a beating."

He didn't know it until now, and he told the bandits all the information about the defense strength of the entire town.

Huck was the first to break the silence. He punched the table, picked up the bottle and took two sips, "Hurry up and go to Osama and the others and tell them what happened here. Sam, go and tell the mayor. Go find Adnan."

When everyone heard his words, they moved as if they had found their backbone, but their movements were so flustered that wine bottles fell frequently and tables and chairs tumbled.For a while, the whole tavern was in chaos.

The tavern owner looked at the mess and the tavern that was empty for a moment, and he froze in place.

After thinking for a moment, he seemed to understand, his eyes suddenly bulged, revealing a light of excitement.

"Bandit, it's a bandit!"

The tavern owner's face was excited, even the fat on his face was shaking, "Finally let me wait."

After finishing speaking, he ran towards the backyard, his grandfather's weapons and armor were still in the warehouse.

In less than 10 minutes, the news had spread throughout the town.The town was completely boiling.

In the small square in the center of the town, all the residents gathered together. First, Osama’s father, the mayor Schafer Herado, stood on the podium and gave a speech about Anmin, which stabilized the emotions of ordinary people. .

Then Usama spoke as the person in charge of the defense corps, explaining their confidence and determination in the battle against bandits.

Herado looked at the confident and calm Osama on the podium, and nodded frequently.It feels like someone has a successor.Turning around, I saw more than 50 members of the Defense Corps who were neatly equipped and full of confidence.Immediately, I felt that the bandits might never come back this time.

Not far away, Adnan frowned when he saw this situation.He was actually assigned to the reserve army this time.That means obeying Osama's orders.

The reason is simple, he is the guard of the town, and Osama is sent back from the capital.Of course this is all talk.Everyone knows the real situation, the mayor wants to fight for Osama.

Of course, Adnan doesn't care about these, and it's useless for him to ask for military merit.But there was one thing he couldn't figure out.

What gave Osama, and the entire defense corps, such confidence.A group of rookies who have never even seen blood, Adnan can't imagine what kind of tragedy it will be when they actually confront the bandits.

Finally, Adnan couldn't help being curious, and said to one of his subordinates: "Kiao, go and ask your son quietly, who gave them the confidence."

The guard named Keo was almost 50 years old, and his son was a member of the guard regiment.

After receiving Adnan's order, he didn't talk nonsense and left quickly.After a while, he turned back quietly and whispered in Adnan's ear.

"What? Bald?"

Hearing Kaio's words, Adnan's face was full of disbelief, and then he had a serious expression, "Are you sure their confidence is because there is a bald strong man in our town?"

Kaio nodded, and continued: "Yes, captain, they said that this bald-headed strongman can easily defeat one hundred, and he doesn't attack hard, so he must be from the town."

"People in the town are still bald!"

Adnan scratched his head when he heard this, and he also heard Bai Lina talk about the big incident that happened in the Defense Corps.But after living in the town for half his life, he has only seen one person with such strength, and that is his daughter, Bai Lina.

And it is absolutely impossible for Bailina to be bald.But if this incident is true, it would be a good thing, at least it can guarantee the safety of the town.

Adnan looked at the confident Osama on the stage, but shook his head.Then he said to himself: "I hope it's true!"
At noon, Bryan Pharmacy.

The backyard, which had been silent all morning, finally had a reaction.The door of Beko's room was slowly pushed open from the inside.

Then a handsome and resolute young man came into view.The most eye-catching thing is that his head glowing with golden light under the sun gives people a weird sense of holiness.

There was some concern in his eyes at this moment.He had heard the warning sound in the alley and the alarm bell in the town before, knowing that the bandits were coming.

But before that, he was studying the swordsmanship of "Gou Kaimen", and he didn't go out at a critical time.

After yesterday's competition and a new understanding of the "Gou Kai Men" swordsmanship, he wants to further combine this swordsmanship with basketball moves.

Because he found that in the process of dribbling, it was very similar to the action before 'opening the door'. Both hands were restricted, one was a sword, the other was a basketball, and neither of them could attack like normal people.

And the moment of 'opening the door' is like in basketball, you want to avoid the opponent to complete a layup or a shot.

This reminded him of all kinds of fake breakthroughs and turning around in his previous life.

These can be used as evasive actions before 'opening the door', and compared to the action techniques Kaqiwo taught him before.These basketball moves of his are more advanced.

He even feinted to break through, turned around and surpassed others, and even had a feeling of turning defense into offense.I can't attack now, but I can lie to you, tease you, attack you mentally, and disturb the enemy's mentality.

This is what Peko has researched after such a long period of time, but it has not been tested in actual combat, and the real effect is still unknown.

If Uncle Kaqiwo knew, these were learned by Peko from a battle, and his jaw would probably drop from shock.

But even if Peko taught him these movements, he couldn't learn them.Because these movements are difficult in themselves, and they are also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you will not disturb the enemy's mentality and attack the enemy mentally, but will send you to death.
