Martial Arts Song

Chapter 304 Big Liar

"What do you think about this?"

While continuing to wipe the knife, Harada Keita asked calmly, "Was it an accident or an escape?"

Upon hearing this, Ueizumi Shizue replied in a deep voice: "Naoto was personally selected and trained by me. He has long been prepared to die for the glory of our Great Ryusakura Empire. There is no way he can escape!"

"That was an accident."

After hearing what he said, Harada Keita finally looked at Ueizumi Seiji and said, "Did you let him kill people?"

"……Yes."

Ueizumi Shizue bowed his head again and replied, "He came from a life of killing and developed a hobby of killing. I saw that the preliminary work of the plan had been prepared, and he was a little impetuous because of the matter of 'Jueying', so I let him relax for a while..."

"I don't care what your reasons are."

Keita Harada interrupted him, and at the same time, the sword in his hand seemed to have finally been wiped.

He placed the katana on the table in front of the two of them, then looked at Ueizumi Shizue calmly and said, "Since you put him there, then you go and get him back. Our plan must be carried out as scheduled. Either he paves the way for my Great Ryusakura Empire with glory, or you do it."

"..."

After being interrupted, Ueizumi Shizue was silent for a while, but finally he lowered his head slightly and replied, "Yes!"

After hearing this, Harada Keita stood up and walked out of the room. As he walked, he said, "I will ask someone to ask 'Tengchuan' to come and help you find someone. As an old friend, I don't wish you glory. I hope you can complete this task before the planned execution date."

After saying that, he left the room.

After hearing this, Kamiizumi Seiji just knelt in front of the desk without moving and said nothing.

……

"Sister, what is the test you are talking about?"

There were people coming and going on the roadside, and rickshaws passed by from time to time. After hearing what Qi Yi said, Chen Qing asked hesitantly.

Combined with what Qi Yi said just now, Chen Qing certainly understood the meaning of Qi Yi's words.

Qi Yi obviously wanted to test his physique.

However, his identity and situation were sensitive, and Qi Yi was a member of the Military Control Commission of "Hu Hai" on the surface. Therefore, he was worried that Qi Yi would bring him into the base camp of the Military Control Commission of "Hu Hai" for testing.

After all, he is a master of "Jingbian", and if you want to test his physique, you will definitely need some special or specially made instruments.

Generally speaking, the place that can possess these special instruments is most likely the official of the Central State - let alone whether ordinary people know about the existence of the group of experts, even if they know, it is unlikely that they will spend money to make these instruments.

The reason for this is that, apart from the fact that the expert group is only a very small part of the population, another reason is that strength is a secret to the expert group. Most experts will simply not cooperate with the test and let others know the limits of their own strength.

Because this is equivalent to letting outsiders know your own cards, giving others the opportunity to target you.

Although Chen Qing trusted Qi Yi, this situation sounded like it might put him in danger, so he naturally had to ask about it first.

Qi Yi seemed to have anticipated Chen Qing's worries. After hearing his question, she replied calmly, "Don't worry. I won't take you to any official organization for testing. I'll take you to a secret place that belongs to our Four Saints Suzaku Hall."

"That's it."

After hearing this, Chen Qing didn't say anything else.

Seeing that she had comforted him, Qi Yi spoke again, "You stop a car here and wait for me. I'll go to the company to ask for leave."

After saying that, she didn't wait for Chen Qing's consent and directly crossed the road and walked towards the company building opposite.

Seeing this, Chen Qing did as he was told and began to wave to stop the rickshaws passing by on the road.

In a moment, he stopped a rickshaw that had just brought people here, then took out a ten-yuan deposit and handed it to the driver, asking him to wait here.

The driver naturally did not refuse for the sake of money.

Afterwards, the two of them waited on the roadside in their car for five or six minutes before Qi Yi finally came down from the building opposite.

Qi Yi came downstairs with a black handbag. She crossed the road again and came to the rickshaw that Chen Qing had stopped. She said, "Let's go."

After saying that, he was the first to get on the seat of the rickshaw.

Seeing this, Chen Qing also got into the car.

After the two of them sat down, the driver squatted slightly, ready to lift the cart and leave, and asked, "Sir, Madam, where are you going?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing turned his head and looked at Qi Yi.

Qi Yi looked ahead calmly and said, "Go to 'Jiabei', Yongyuan Road."

The driver was stunned after hearing this, but then he responded: "Okay~"

Then the driver lifted the handle of the rickshaw and started running.

"Ok?"

After hearing Qi Yi's destination, Chen Qing was a little surprised and asked, "Sister Yi, are we really going to 'Jiabei'?"

When there were outsiders around, he consciously did not call Qi Yi "Senior Sister" but "Sister Yi".

Jiabei District is just next to Jiangwan District in the south.

And next to the south of District Abei is the concession!

Of the thirty districts in "Hu Hai", the five central districts became concessions, while the Jiabei District, which was adjacent to the concessions, was the most prosperous and economically best central district in "Hu Hai", bar none.

The architectural style here is influenced by the concession, and most of the houses are Western-style.

But at the same time, this place retains many characteristics of the Central Kingdom, which makes many Westerners and Ryuuko people in the concession come here when they want to experience the customs and culture of the Central Kingdom.

Therefore, this is the area with the most complex population composition and the largest flow of people!

Basically every street has many people coming and going, and the more central areas are even more crowded!
Because of this, houses here are very expensive, whether buying, selling or renting, the prices are very high.

Chen Qing went to Jiabei District once.

That was when he was carrying out the promotion assessment mission and preparing to assassinate Xiang Wansheng of "Paramount", he and Xuanfeng followed Xiang Wansheng's confidant "Yang Zhan".

At that time, the other party went to secretly meet a "Ryuuko person" in the Jiabei District.

Chen Qing was surprised that Qi Yi asked the driver to go to Jiabei District because Jiabei District was a place with very high land prices and a lot of people.

Logically speaking, if it is a secret place, it should not be set up in this kind of place. It is not very good in terms of cost-effectiveness or confidentiality.

Hearing Chen Qing's question, Qi Yi just glanced at him and did not answer. Instead, he said lightly: "I know what you are thinking. You will know when we get there."

Having said that, Chen Qing did not ask any further questions.

The two did not talk any more along the way.

They sat quietly in the rickshaw, being pulled by the driver for more than twenty minutes, and finally entered the Jiabei District.

Once you enter Jiabei District, you will see visibly more shops of various styles on both sides of the street, as well as pedestrians wearing different styles and speaking different languages!
Chen Qing and Qi Yi sat in the rickshaw, still not speaking.

Qi Yi still looked straight ahead.

Chen Qing looked at the street scene next to him.

It's not that he hadn't seen it before or was curious, but he was trying to divert attention. The two of them were riding in a rickshaw. Although neither of them was fat, the seats in the rickshaws in West City were relatively clean and spacious compared to those in East City. The cushions were also made of leather and soft. There was even a distance of about ten centimeters between the two of them.

But it was still too close.

During this period of time, Chen Qing's [Spirit] value has increased to around 3 due to his daily diligent "Spirit Training", and his five senses have become much sharper than before.

At this distance, he could clearly smell the perfume on Qi Yi.

When he wasn't talking and there were no other distractions, his attention was basically affected by the smell of perfume in his nose.

In fact, the perfume Qi Yi sprayed was not strong, but very light. It smelled like an indescribable fragrance, which was very pleasant.

It’s just that Chen Qing’s sense of smell has become more sensitive.

Of course, although his attention was distracted by the pleasant fragrance, Chen Qing did not show anything unusual on the surface - he maintained a state of meditation throughout the journey, not letting his emotions show at all.

In fact, he didn't have any bad thoughts, but was thinking about the scent of Qi Yi's perfume and where it came from.

It was this idea that always made him want to get closer and smell it carefully.

This is why he deliberately looked at the street scene next to him, just to suppress this impulse.

After Chen Qing looked at the street scene next to him and diverted his attention.

The rickshaw drove for more than ten minutes and finally took the two people to their destination, "Yongyuan Road".

"Sir and Madam, we have arrived at Yongyuan Road."

When they arrived at the place, the driver braked the car, turned around and said to Chen Qing and Qi Yi with a smile.

"Ah."

Qi Yi nodded first, then got out of the car.

After Qi Yi got off the car, Chen Qing no longer smelled the perfume on her body, and his attention was finally no longer affected.

After he let out a light breath, he began to look around carefully.

There is a street called "Yongyuan Road" with Western-style houses on both sides. Not only does it cover a large area, but many of the houses have strong young men in suits patrolling the doors, or they keep many large and fierce dogs, or both.

In addition, there are far fewer people on this street than on other streets in the northern part of Jiabei District.

Moreover, people entering and exiting this street either take rickshaws or cars, and there is basically no one walking.

And what these people are wearing, whether it's a western suit or a dress, or a long gown or a short jacket or a cheongsam, you can tell from the material to the size that they are specially made, indicating that they are not likely to be poor.

After seeing this scene, Chen Qing couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

This street is obviously a residential area for the rich!
"There's actually a place like this in the Kohoku District..."

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, and at the same time he paid the fare and got off the rickshaw.

After he got off the rickshaw, the rickshaw driver immediately raised the handlebars again and ran forward - someone in front was waving to stop the rickshaw.

After the rickshaw driver left, Qi Yi suddenly said, "The perfume I wear is a secret concoction of mine. It has a very light scent that ordinary people can hardly smell. However, if you inhale too much, it will make you relax physically and mentally to the point where you will have difficulty concentrating. So, how do you feel sitting next to me?"

"…Am I being used as a test subject?"

Chen Qing was silent for a moment and asked back.

"That's it."

Qi Yi replied with a calm expression and a slight nod.

Chen Qing was silent again.

After a moment, he smiled and replied, "It's very useful."

He had troubled Qi Yi so many times before, so it was no big deal for Qi Yi to use him as a guinea pig now.

"As long as it works."

After hearing this, Qi Yi nodded slightly again, then started walking towards a western-style house with high walls and iron railings on the street.

Chen Qing saw this and stepped to follow.

Soon, the two arrived at the iron gate of the villa.

"Wow wow wow!"

"Woof woof woof woof!"

"Wow wow wow wow!"

As soon as the two arrived at the door of the villa, they heard violent dog barking from inside.

Immediately afterwards, three big black dogs ran to the door and barked wildly at Chen Qing and Qi Yi outside.

But after just a moment, the dogs stopped barking and lowered their heads meekly.

Just a moment after the black dogs lowered their heads and stopped barking, a young man in a black suit followed the black dogs and ran over quickly.

When the young man saw Chen Qing and Qi Yi outside the door, he was stunned for a moment, then he bowed respectfully to Qi Yi and said, "Miss Qi."

After greeting, the young man in a black suit raised his hand and took out a walkie-talkie from his waist, raised it to his mouth, pressed a button on the walkie-talkie, and said, "Notify the young lady, Miss Qi is here."

After finishing speaking, the young man put the intercom back on his waist, then looked at Qi Yi and asked, "Ms. Qi, who is this..."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Qing, and his question was self-evident.

"He is also your young lady's friend."

Qi Yi replied calmly.

Chen Qing, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this.

Just now, the young man was holding a walkie-talkie and asked to notify the lady, and Qi Yi said that he was a friend of the other lady.

Is it...

Almost at the same time, Chen Qing had the answer in his mind.

Then, on the roof of the western-style house inside the high wall, a figure suddenly flew out from the rooftop and flew towards this side.

When the figure was about to fall to the ground, there was a "whoosh" sound, and a small parachute suddenly opened behind the figure, slowing down the rapidly flying figure. It then swayed in the air and slowly fell towards the ground.

Chen Qing, who was standing outside the iron gate, looked at the figure in the air and found that it was Liu Yilin, the junior sister from Suzaku Hall, whom he had not seen for more than half a year since they parted at "Jialong Mountain" in Zhe Province!
"Yo ho~"

Liu Yilin was in mid-air. Even in the hot summer, she was wearing a very thick special cotton coat, a helmet on her head, and protective gear on her elbows and knees.

She was floating in the air with a parachute, and waved to Qi Yi outside the iron gate: "Sister Yi, you are here~"

After saying hello, her gaze shifted to look at Chen Qing next to Qi Yi.

The next second, she folded her hands in the air, snorted angrily, and said, "What are you doing here? Big liar!"
