Martial Arts Song

Chapter 281 One Hundred and One Reasons
Chen Qing didn't suspect that Luo Zongping was going to do anything bad to him.

It was purely because of his cautious personality. Plus, he was not from this world and subconsciously did not trust the people of this world, so he always expected the worst outcome in everything.

For no reason, Luo Zongping suddenly invited him to participate in the "Martial Arts Exchange Meeting" in "Hu Hai".

This is indeed a bit suspicious.

When he was with Luo Zongping, he basically maintained a state of meditation and did not reveal much of his emotions. It should be impossible for the other party to see his purpose.

And since his purpose is unclear, there must be other reasons for suddenly inviting him to participate in this "Martial Arts Exchange Meeting".

Thinking of this, he looked at Luo Zongping, with an undisguised surprise on his face, and said: "I am a little flattered by your invitation, Mr. Luo. As an outsider, if I have the honor to participate in the local 'Martial Arts Exchange Meeting' in 'Hu Hai', I will naturally be extremely honored."

"It's just that I'm afraid I won't get along well with the local masters. Besides, when we communicate, fists and feet have no rules, and it wouldn't be good if I hurt anyone..."

Having said this, he stopped hesitantly.

These words seemed to be expressing his concern about hurting someone, but in fact, he was telling Luo Zongping that he would not hold back if he really went there.

By then, if there is something fishy going on and his men are ruthless, it is likely that the matter will become a big deal.

Of course, this is another implied meaning assuming that there is something fishy about this matter.

But if there is nothing fishy about this "Martial Arts Exchange Meeting" and Luo Zongping did not invite him to be a pawn or use him, then these words mean exactly what they say.

It all depends on what Luo Zongping's purpose in inviting him is.

"Don't worry, this 'Martial Arts Exchange Meeting' is more of a challenge than an exchange meeting."

After Luo Zongping heard what Chen Qing said, his expression did not show any abnormality. He only said, "There is a sword genius coming from Liuying. His strength is just barely okay. He has challenged many martial arts schools in Huhai in recent times. None of the disciples of the same age as him can match him."

"If it were just that, it wouldn't matter. Our masters in Hu Hai are not the kind of people who can't afford to lose. If they are not as skilled as their opponents, they have to admit defeat. But that Ryuying kid actually published an ad in the newspaper a few days ago, challenging all the young talents in Hu Hai, imitating the actions of the boxing champion 'Charil Larsen' from the Liege Empire in the Western Continent two years ago."

Having said this, the expression on Luo Zongping's face finally changed.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Two years ago, 'Charil Larsen' brought a lot of humiliation to the warriors of our 'Hu Hai'. We certainly can't let this happen again this time! So, I would like to invite you to go over and teach that sword genius of Ryuying a lesson, so that he will know that there are always people better than you and there are always better things beyond you!"

I see……

After hearing what Luo Zongping said, Chen Qing finally understood the nature of this so-called "Martial Arts Exchange Meeting".

It turned out that they wanted to ask him to save face for the "Hu Hai" warrior.

In addition, he also had an impression of the so-called boxing champion "Charlie Larson" mentioned by Luo Zongping.

When he was promoted to Silver Medal Killer, he saw this person's mission information in the mission folder, on the first page of the mission folder.

However, due to the special nature of the other party's identity, this mission was almost a one-way trip, so no killer dared to take on this mission.

This information flowed through Chen Qing's mind unconsciously.

But these were all the information he knew as a silver medal killer of the "Cloud" organization.

And now, he is facing Luo Zongping, a "great master" who is a local master who has not been "sea-based" for a long time.

According to normal logic, you shouldn't know this information.

Although there are newspapers in this world, the "Charleil Larsen" incident happened two years ago.

Newspapers from two years ago are now impossible to find unless you look for them specifically.

So, he simulated in his mind the reaction of a normal person after hearing what Luo Zongping said for a moment, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Ryuying's kendo genius? Imitating 'Charil Larsen' two years ago? Uh... Mr. Luo, can you tell me more about it?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Zongping glanced at Chen Qing, and then told him about the "deeds" of "Charleil Larsen", the boxing champion of the Liege Empire two years ago.

After he finished speaking, he narrowed his eyes and continued, "...This swordsmanship genius from Ryuo wants to do what Charles Larsen did again and humiliate the warriors of Hu Hai once again. Do you understand?"

"……Understood!"

After listening to this, Chen Qing pretended to digest the news for a while, and said with a look of indignation: "These scoundrels from other countries are really abominable! They really think that our country is easy to bully! Teacher Luo, please take me with you to this "Martial Arts Exchange Meeting"!"

After he finished speaking, he paused, looked at Luo Zongping, and then asked curiously: "By the way, Mr. Luo, how old is this sword genius from Ryuying? How strong is he?"

Hearing that Chen Qing agreed to participate in this "Martial Arts Exchange Meeting" and seeing Chen Qing's indignant look, Luo Zongping couldn't help but smile a little more.

He smiled and replied, "It is said that this swordsmanship genius from Ryuo just turned eighteen this year. As for his strength... he may be a master of 'Ki Bian'."

"possible?"

Chen Qing was stunned when he heard this description.

Yes it is, no it is not.

What does it mean to be possible?
"Ugh."

Seeing the look on Chen Qing's face, Luo Zongping sighed, and then said with a little helplessness: "There's nothing we can do. The young people he challenged who are about his age can't force him to use his full strength."

"And the internal energy of a master of 'Qi Transformation' is stored in the Qi Sea and Dantian, where it is condensed and unified. If you don't actually use this internal energy, even a 'great master' will find it difficult to confirm whether or not there is 'Qi Transformation' in person."

"So, we can only suspect that he might be a master of 'Chi Bian' based on the strength he has demonstrated."

After saying that, Luo Zongping immediately added: "Just treat him as a master of 'Qi Bian'. When you follow me, I won't let you take action first. You are just a forced choice. There will be other young people from 'Hu Hai' who will take action first."

"If the youngsters of Hu Hai can't beat him, it will be your turn. You should observe his sword skills and fighting style carefully. In the next two days, I will take you to see a local swordsman who has also practiced the "Qi Bian" skill. You can communicate with this master, and then you will have an idea if the boy from Ryuying is really a "Qi Bian" master."

He directly arranged Chen Qing's future schedule.

After hearing this, Chen Qing's heart moved.

Isn't this what he wanted, a chance to communicate with the local masters of "Hu Hai"?
Especially this kind of friendly exchange under peace.

Originally, he had temporarily put aside the idea of ​​contacting the local master of "Hu Hai" and planned to try again after completing the second round of training to break the limits of the five internal organs.

But now that there is a ready-made opportunity for contact, he naturally will not miss it.

"Ok."

After listening to Luo Zongping's words, Chen Qing thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

But then, he asked doubtfully: "Teacher Luo, why don't you teach that boxing champion and this sword genius from Ryuin a lesson? If you are willing to take action, you will definitely be able to stop them, right?"

This was indeed the doubt in Chen Qing's mind. After seeing Yun's silver-level task book, he had this doubt in his mind.

Since the mission of "Charleil Larson" appeared in the silver-level mission, it meant that the other party was not a master who had practiced kung fu to the "transformation".

How could such a person sweep through more than 20 local martial arts schools and humiliate the local martial artists of "Hu Hai" two years ago?
Even if the other party has a special identity, such as being the security inspector of the Liege Empire's concession in the West Continent, if he kills him, he will have to pay with his life. But it is possible not to kill him, but just teach him a lesson and defeat him publicly.

But it still happened.

Chen Qing was very curious about the reason why experts like Luo Zongping did not take action to stop this.

He didn't believe that these masters would care about the rule of "the big bullying the small". After all, it was a matter concerning the reputation of the entire "Hu Hai" warriors.

What's more, that "Charleil Larsen" doesn't seem to be young.

Even if the opponent is really like the kendo genius who came to Ryuying this time, he has just turned eighteen years old.

But not all masters are of high moral character and abide by the rules. There are also many who lack martial ethics.

If these masters who have no moral principles of martial arts take action, what happened two years ago would never have happened.

It has been almost a year since Chen Qing came into this world.

According to his observation, although the Central Chinese people were fierce in internal strife, when faced with foreign enemies, they would unite and fight against the foreign enemies together.

The boxing champion "Charlie Larson" and the current kendo genius "Humkai" who came from Ryuo are definitely things that can bring people together.

He really didn't understand why the expert group didn't take action on this matter.

After hearing Chen Qing's question, Luo Zongping couldn't help but look at him deeply, and then replied: "The reason why we don't take action on these things, in addition to the rules, there are other external factors."

"Two years ago, when 'Charil Larsen' swept through more than 20 martial arts schools in 'Hu Hai', our local masters were also resisting the invasion of a powerful enemy, and they were too busy to do anything else. As for this time, although we don't need to resist the enemy, the enemy came with courtesy, not brutal invasion."

"We are a country that values ​​courtesy. If the enemy invades with barbarity, we will not follow the rules. But if the enemy comes with courtesy, we can only treat them with courtesy."

"Another thing is that this kid from Ryu-Ying did not come alone, but was brought by his master, the sword master 'Ueizumi Shizue' who is known as the 'Sword Saint' in Ryu-Ying. Although 'Ueizumi Shizue's' strength is not among the ranks of peerless masters, it should not be underestimated. Ordinary masters are no match for him. Do you understand?"

After saying that, Luo Zongping looked at Chen Qing again.

After hearing this, Chen Qing replied with a look of sudden enlightenment: "I understand!"

To put it simply, the other party is not a wild child, and "Hu Hai" cannot act recklessly. He must defeat the other party according to the rules, otherwise he will lose face.

However, compared to the challenge of the Ryu-Yakura Kendo genius this time, he was actually more curious about what Luo Zongping said. Two years ago, when the boxing champion "Charleil Larsen" of the Liege Empire challenged more than 20 martial arts gyms in "Hu Hai", who was the powerful enemy they were resisting...

Unfortunately, the other party was obviously unwilling to elaborate.

The relationship between the two parties has not yet reached the point where we can ask such questions.

Chen Qing had no choice but to give up.

"Well, I understand."

Seeing that Chen Qing understood, Luo Zongping nodded slightly and said, "Then let's do this for now. I'll go back and tell the Qi Transformation master who practices swordsmanship today. If you want to trouble someone, you must tell him in advance. When you come to work tomorrow, I'll ask my driver Xiao Zhao to pick you up."

"it is good."

Chen Qing didn't say anything, and responded, "Then Mr. Luo, I'll go back to work first."

"Well, let's go."

Luo Zongping waved his hand indifferently and said.

So, Chen Qing turned and walked towards the factory gate, while Luo Zongping continued walking forward and came to the factory warehouse.

When Chen Qing returned to the factory gate, Gao Changzhi, Yuan Zhangjie and others looked at him, as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

Seeing this, Chen Qing understood that these people were envious of his close relationship with Luo Zongping, and he also wanted to ask them what they talked about.

But because of previous events, there was a gap in status between them and himself, so he didn't dare to ask.

The few people didn't dare to ask, and Chen Qing didn't bother to pay attention to them. He just started working today.

After that, it was the same as before.

Luo Zongping checked the goods in the warehouse. After finishing, he came out and taught Gao Changzhi, Yuan Zhangjie and others how to practice boxing, and then left "Luo's Paper Mill" by car.

Not long after Luo Zongping left, it finally reached noon.

As the workshop door slid open, a large number of workers came out of the workshop one after another, and the "Luoshi Paper Mill" also ushered in the end of the day...

……

At dusk, the sun sets.

As the sun gradually sets, a golden sunset glow appears on the horizon.

"Hongjiang" is just like its name, dyed with a layer of golden red color, making the originally gray and muddy river water look like a golden red ribbon. Then the sparkling river surface dyes the golden red color of the sunset to the whole city, making the "Huhai" at dusk look like a painting, magnificent.

Sanyang District, Kowloon Avenue.

A rickshaw bathed in the sunset slowly came to the ferry bridge and stopped.

Then, Chen Qing, who was dressed in a suit, took money out of his suit pocket to pay the fare, got off the bus, and walked straight to the ferry under the bridge.

After a while, he arrived at the river dam where there were many ferries.

The boatmen around him asked enthusiastically after seeing his exquisite attire:
"Sir, would you like to take a boat?"

"Sir, are you crossing the river? There are refreshments on board~"

"Sir, please take my boat. My boat is famous for its speed."

Amid the noisy chatter of boatmen soliciting customers.

Chen Qing randomly picked one of the boatmen and replied with a smile: "Yes, cross the river."

He did not forget what he had planned today, which was to go to West City after get off work to complete the silver-level mission he had accepted.
