Martial Arts Song

Chapter 316 Big event!

After seeing the figure on the lone boat clearly, the figure sitting alone on the reef slowly stood up and reached out to pick up the sheathed long sword placed beside him.

Then, he did not retreat, but just stood on the reef, watching the approaching lone boat and the figure on it with a calm expression.

When the lone boat was about thirty or forty meters away from the reef, the figure on the boat suddenly jumped up, and at the same time, the right hand holding the sword at the waist suddenly drew out the sword and slashed it fiercely at the sea below!

"call out--"

A sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly burst out!

A huge crescent-shaped sword energy was then slashed out, directly creating a huge gushing wave on the sea surface below with a "boom"!

With the help of the energy generated by the sword, the figure that leaped up was pushed back by the energy. The leaping figure suddenly flew upwards for a while, then drew a long parabola in the sky, and finally landed on the outermost reef of the reef pile.

"Ta-ta."

In the dark night, two crisp sounds were heard as wooden clogs stepped on the rocks.

The figure holding the long knife witnessed the whole scene but did not take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

When the figure on the boat landed on a reef not far from him, he looked at the other person and asked, "Did you arrange the assassins these days?"

On the distant reef.

A tall figure wearing Ryu-Yak samurai uniform, holding a katana in his right hand, pointing diagonally to the ground, slowly drew out another katana from his waist with his left hand, and replied calmly: "You don't need to know, you just need to know that your death will make the glory of our Great Ryu-Yak Empire illuminate the entire East Continent."

"Illuminate the entire East Continent?"

The figure holding the knife narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly drew out the long knife in his hand, "You Ryuying really have evil intentions towards our Central Country! Well, let me experience the high skills of the Ryuying Sword Master!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot with a "whoosh".

Almost at the same time, on the reef not far away, a tall figure holding a sword in each hand also disappeared.

The next second—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! …

There was a sharp and piercing sound of breaking through the air, followed by a strong wind, and radiation swept around!
Under the moonlight, gaps kept appearing on the reefs, while the rivers and seas were surging, splashing layers of waves, flying in all directions!
……

September 10th, around three in the morning.

Chen Qing woke up slowly, looked out the window, and found that it was pitch black outside. He sat up from the bed and casually pulled down the light cord beside the bed.

With a "click" sound, a dim light came on in the room.

He first glanced at the [Essence, Energy and Spirit] value at the bottom of his left eye. After confirming that yesterday's practice had still helped him improve, he got up, dressed and washed, and then began today's "Practice of Spirit" and "Practice of Qi".

After finishing today's "training of mind" and "training of qi", he came to "Guoshan Road" in "Sanyang" to work as usual.

After spending the morning without incident, when it was time to get off work at noon, he said hello to Gao Changzhi and others and left first.

Then, he went to the "Sanyang" ferry without stopping and took the ferry to Xicheng on the opposite bank.

However, when the ferry he was on slowly drifted to the center of the "Red River", he suddenly discovered that the surface of the "Red River" today was a little different from before.

There were many more boats with the Central Government's national emblem printed on them wandering around the river, some using fishing nets and some with people diving, and no one knew what they were trying to salvage.

"Boatman, what happened on the Red River today? Why are there so many official ships?"

Seeing this scene, Chen Qing casually asked the boatman who was rowing at the stern.

After hearing this, the boatman shook his head and replied, "I don't know. These boats appeared in the early morning, and I have no idea what they are fishing for."

"Is that so?"

Chen Qing frowned slightly when he heard this, and asked again: "Did anything special happen on the 'Red River' last night?"

Yesterday, all the killer organizations of "Hu Hai" mistakenly accepted the mission to assassinate "Jueying". Today, so many official ships appeared on "Hongjiang" to salvage things.

It would be a lie to say that there are no associations.

Although Chen Qing did not think that anything would happen to "Jueying", the bronze, silver, and even gold medal killers from various killer organizations could basically not make much waves in front of the "great master" who had achieved "Three Huas Transformation".

But the scene on the "Red River" today is really scary.

"last night?"

The boatman heard Chen Qing's question, stopped paddling, thought for a moment, and replied hesitantly, "Nothing happened on the Red River last night... There seemed to be thunder at night... I don't really know, I was sleeping at the time, why don't you go back and ask other people?"

Generally, these ferries that carry people across the river are tied to the pilings at the ferry at night and people rest on the boat overnight.

This is also the reason why Chen Qing asked the other party.

But the ferryman he was on apparently had no idea what had happened last night.

However, Chen Qing still caught a glimpse of something unusual in his words.

"There was thunder for a while?"

When Chen Qing heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Today, his [Spirit] value has been raised to around 3.5 through "Spirit Training". Although his hearing and vision are not as sensitive as those of "Divine Transformation" masters, they are still much better than ordinary people.

He didn't hear any thunder last night.

Although "Sanlin" is separated from "Sanyang" by the two districts of "Tutang" and "Tianxin", there is a certain distance between them, and the climate does have some rain and thunder in some areas.

But the roar of thunder was so loud that if it was really near "Sanyang", it should have been heard by some extent in "Sanlin".

Moreover, when he finished practicing yesterday and returned from the "Hongjiang" Bund Ferry in the west city to the "Sanyang" Ferry in the east city, there was no sign of rain or thunder in the sky on the "Sanyang" side.

In other words, the so-called "thunder" heard by "Sanyang" was probably not real thunder.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing asked the boatman again: "Boatman, when did the thunder strike last night?"

"When?"

The boatman thought about it again, then shook his head again and said, "I don't know either. I was half asleep at the time, and I wasn't sure if it was thunder or not. Anyway, there was a sound."

"Is that a loud noise?"

"Well, not very big..."

After some questioning, the boatman's answers were basically vague and he was not sure about anything.

To sum up, I vaguely heard a sound that sounded like thunder in my dream last night, but I was not sure if it was thunder.

After Chen Qing couldn't get any more details, he didn't bother the boatman anymore and didn't ask any more questions.

More than ten minutes later.

The ferry docks at the "Hongjiang" Bund ferry terminal.

After Chen Qing and other boatmen tied the boat ropes, they paid and got off the boat. They walked along the public road to the roadside, hailed a rickshaw and went straight to Yunguang Road in Jiangwan District.

……

Jiangwan District, Sleep Inn, Room 210.

With a "click", the door lock opened and Chen Qing walked into the room carrying four jars of wine.

Afterwards, he closed the door and carried four jars of wine to the table in the room. After placing the wine on the table, he sat on the bed, waiting for Qi Yi to arrive.

Soon, more than ten minutes passed.

At this time in the past, Qi Yi would have been here.

But Qi Yi did not come today.

Chen Qing didn't care about it at first, thinking that being a few minutes late was nothing. However, another ten minutes passed quickly.

Qi Yi still didn't come.

At this time, Chen Qing frowned.

But when he thought about the fact that he had been late for twenty or thirty minutes before due to something, his frown relaxed again.

But then, ten minutes passed one after another.

Before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.

Qi Yi still hasn't come!

At this time, Chen Qing finally realized that something was wrong.

He stood up, walked out of the room, stood by the window in the corridor and looked outside.

There were people coming and going and traffic was heavy outside, but there was no sign of Qi Yi.

He frowned and returned to the room and waited for another half an hour.

When it was about two forty in the afternoon, almost three o'clock, he finally stopped waiting, got up and left the room, walking straight out along the corridor.

He planned to go to where Qi Yi worked.

What happened on the "Hongjiang" today, Qi Yi's late arrival, and what happened yesterday.

All of these made Chen Qing feel that something might have happened.

"Hey, your lover didn't come today?"

When Chen Qing walked to the stairs to the second floor, the proprietress asked with a smile.

Chen Qing glanced at him, said nothing, and quickly walked down the stairs to the first floor.

Then he walked all the way to the building where Qi Yi worked.

But after thinking for a moment, he did not go upstairs, but went to the cafe opposite and sat down.

This was where he used to sit and wait for Qi Yi.

Qi Yi is a member of the Military Control Commission, and there is a high probability that the place where he works is closely related to the Military Control Commission. If he goes up rashly, he may expose himself to the vision of the "Hu Hai" Military Control Commission.

So he decided to wait a little longer.

"Want a cup of coffee."

After asking the waiter for a cup of coffee, he sat outside the cafe as usual, in a seat facing the opposite building.

After a while, the waiter came up with a tray of coffee.

Then, the waiter bent over and brought the coffee from the tray to Chen Qing. He suddenly asked with a smile, "Sir, do you know a lady named Qi?"

"Ok?"

Chen Qing was startled when he heard the waiter's words, and then turned his head to look at the other party, "You are..."

The waiter smiled and said, "This morning a lady named Qi asked us to pass a letter to a customer who looks like you after noon. Do you know this lady?"

"..."

Chen Qing didn't expect that Qi Yi had already explained it!

He immediately nodded and said, "I know him."

"Ok."

The waiter responded with a smile, then took out a thin letter from his apron pocket and handed it to her, saying, "This is the letter that Ms. Qi asked us to give to you."

"Thank you."

Chen Qing thanked him and then raised his hand to take the envelope.

"You are welcome."

The waiter responded with a smile again, then went on with his business.

After the waiter left, Chen Qing opened the envelope, reached in, took out the letter inside and unfolded it to examine it.

Then, he saw a short sentence written on a large piece of letter paper: It's urgent, please wait.

After looking at these words in silence for a while, Chen Qing put away this so-called "letter".

Come to think of it, if there really is something, it is impossible to say it in an envelope that you ask someone else to pass on.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing put the letter away and continued to sit in the seat, "waiting a moment" as written on the envelope given by Qi Yi.

And his "wait" lasted until night fell...

In the evening, night falls.

The street lights and business lights on Yunguang Road lit up one after another, illuminating the street brightly.

At the same time, companies on this street also closed for the day, and a large number of working men and women walked out of the office buildings and poured into the cafes, pubs and other places on this street to drink coffee, eat desserts and drink alcohol to relieve stress.

All of a sudden, the street became lively.

In this lively and noisy atmosphere, Chen Qing still sat in his original position, leaning back on the chair, looking at the building opposite with a look of neither sadness nor joy.

And in front of him was the fifth cup of coffee he ordered today.

As he continued to wait, suddenly, a black car drove slowly over and stopped on the roadside in front of his cafe.

Then, the rear window of the car rolled down, revealing Qi Yi, who was wearing a black windbreaker, with her hair tied up and a black top hat.

After the car window was rolled down, Qi Yi raised her hand, reached out of the window with her hand wearing a black leather glove, and hooked her finger at Chen Qing.

Seeing this scene, Chen Qing raised his eyebrows and stood up.

He walked straight to the front of the car and said expressionlessly, "You've been waiting for a long time."

Qi Yi ignored the sarcasm in Chen Qing's words and said directly and decisively: "Get in the car."

After hearing this, Chen Qing said nothing more. He walked around the back of the car, then came to the back door on the other side, opened it and got in.

As soon as he got in the car, it started and drove away.

After the car started moving, Qi Yi rolled up the window again and said calmly, "I will take you to see Master now. Master will be in charge of your external conditions to assist in your practice. I am not free during this period."

"Ok?"

When Chen Qing heard this, he frowned and subconsciously looked at the person driving in the driver's seat in front.

Then, he found that the driver was a girl who was wearing a driver's uniform, looked to be in her twenties, and was driving seriously and attentively.

"Don't worry, she is also from Suzaku Hall, one of us."

Qi Yi saw what he was thinking and replied calmly.

Hearing this, Chen Qing finally felt relieved.

Then, he turned his head to look at Qi Yi and asked, "What happened?"

The anomaly on the "Hongjiang", Qi Yi's lateness today, and the attitude and content of the words she just said, all told him that something big happened today!
When Qi Yi heard his question, she turned her head and stared at him for a while.

Then, she turned her head and said in a calm tone: "'Jueying' is dead."
