Martial Arts Song

Chapter 317 Series Connection
"what?"

After hearing Qi Yi's words, Chen Qing's face showed an undisguised astonishment, "How could it be..."

“Jueying” is a great master who has achieved three transformations simultaneously. Although judging from the tone of the martial arts masters around him on the day of the ring incident, it seemed that he had just achieved the breakthrough not long ago.

But he is also a real master, with no shortcomings in his combat power structure. Let alone ordinary people, even ordinary "transformed" masters are far from his opponents. How could those ordinary killers from the killer organizations kill him?
"I know what you're thinking."

Qi Yi saw the astonishment on Chen Qing's face and continued calmly, "When I first heard the news, I also found it hard to believe, but it is true. I have been helping to investigate this matter all day."

Chen Qing remained silent after hearing this.

He didn't know "Jueying", and Qi Yi didn't know that he was at the scene of the ring incident last month, so there was really no need to lie to him about this matter.

But if this is true, then it would be a big deal!

"Jueying" is the apprentice of "Nan Jue" among "Beicang Nanjue", and his master is a rare master in the world.

What would be your reaction if you found out that your apprentice had died?
Especially, "Jueying" came back this time, commissioned by the "Hu Hai" warriors, and came back specifically to defeat Takasugi Naoto.

In other words, if "Jueying" had not come back to fight for the face of the "Hu Hai" warriors, this kind of thing would not have happened, and the warriors of "Hu Hai" would probably have to bear the blame!
During this period of time, Chen Qing has also more or less heard some things about "Nan Jue", the peerless master.

The original name of this "Nan Jue" was not "Juechen". It was changed to "Juechen" later for some reasons.

In addition, this peerless master is just as Qi Yi said before, he has a bad temper, does things his own way, and is extremely protective of his own people!
If he knew that "Jueying" was dead, he would not know what he would do.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing asked, "Who killed Jueying? Has anyone found out?"

At this point, the only way to make amends is to catch the murderer and hand him over to the incoming "Juechen" for punishment. Otherwise, when "Juechen" arrives and starts a killing spree, the city of "Hu Hai" and even the local warriors may be implicated!
Although Chen Qing is not a member of the Central State government, he now lives in the city of "Huhai". Before he is fully grown, he does not want the city to be in turmoil.

In addition, he was indeed curious about who could kill "Jueying", a great master who had achieved the three transformations.

"According to our preliminary investigation of the battle traces at the scene, the person who fought with Jueying used a long sword..."

Qi Yi heard this and said with her eyes slightly narrowed.

After hearing this, Chen Qing couldn't help but frown.

In fact, when he asked this question, he had some vague guesses in his mind, but when he really heard the answer, he still felt heavy in his heart.

On the "Hu Hai" side, there are only Ryuuko people in the International Settlement.

Among all the Ryuuko people in the entire concession, there is only one person who has the ability to kill "Jueying".

That is the Ryusakura Sword Master, Shizuji Kamiizumi!

But if it was Shizuji Kamiizumi who did it, then things would be even more serious!
If "Juechen" takes action and kills Kamiizumi Seiji at that time, the problem will be elevated to an international issue between Central Country and Ryuying!
On one side is Liuying, on the other side is the peerless master of the Central Kingdom.

Even though it was Kamiizumi Shizuji who initiated the incident and Juechen was only seeking revenge for his apprentice, many times the problem cannot be solved so simply.

The relationship between Yangguo and Liuying is not harmonious to begin with. Liuying has stationed troops outside the northern border of Yangguo for a long time and has been ready to make a move. If "Juechen" rashly kills Shangquan Jingji, who is known as the "Sword Saint" in Liuying, it would be equivalent to giving Liuying an excuse!

Unless the Central State officials can immediately produce a series of evidence that Shizuo Kamiizumi was the first to kill, the Ryusakura faction will most likely take this opportunity to attack...

Suddenly, Chen Qing's mind moved and everything became clear!
He seemed to have figured out why Takasugi Naoto, a Ryuo kendo genius, came all the way from Ryuo to "Kumi", challenged many young disciples of martial arts schools, and set up a ring to provoke the "Kumi" warriors!

The other party is deliberately trying to stir up hatred, hoping that some hot-headed warrior will not be able to resist and beat him to death, thus giving Ryuying an excuse!

However, Takasugi Naoto did not have the time to complete this act, as he was killed by him in the wilderness late at night without anyone noticing, and his body was buried.

If there is no body, then it means it is missing, and Ryuying has no reason to make trouble.

No wonder Liuying sent people to Dongcheng to investigate.

Chen Qing finally connected everything together and completely understood what was going on!

After understanding the conspiracy that Liuying had been brewing, Chen Qing looked back at what had happened in the past two days and suddenly had a different feeling.

"All assassin organizations in 'Hu Hai' simultaneously revealed the problem of mistaking missions. It seemed that they were deliberately directing the blame at Ryuu to drive a wedge between the two countries, but now it seems that it was most likely Ryuu's doing!"

"On the surface, they exposed themselves as the masterminds of a conspiracy that seemed to sow discord. When ordinary people looked at this matter with normal logic, Ryuying seemed more like a victim of this conspiracy. But in fact, they did do these things."

"Smart people can see through the inner layer and glimpse the truth, but most ordinary people can only see the superficial layer."

"At that time, with the power of the 'god' of a peerless master like 'Juechen', he will definitely see through the inner layer and know that this conspiracy was planned by Liuying, and then kill Shangquan Shiji to avenge 'Jueying'. But in the eyes of ordinary people who can only understand the superficial layer, 'Juechen', the peerless master, was used as a gun, and the Liuying side and Shangquan Shiji became victims."

"In this way, Liuying will have a perfect excuse to attack! This is not so much a conspiracy as it is a psychological game that is a mixture of conspiracy and overt conspiracy!"

After sorting out his thoughts here, Chen Qing couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

He didn't know whether it was lucky or unfortunate that he was passively involved in various conspiracies planned by Ryuying wherever he went.

However, this is actually normal.

Liuying has been preparing to make a move outside the northern border, and is clearly planning to invade Central Country, so naturally, they will conduct all-round infiltration beforehand.

Therefore, it is estimated that any larger city in the Central Country has been infiltrated by Ryuying spies, who are planning conspiracies to push forward Ryuying's invasion plan.

And "Huhai", the largest city in the south, is naturally the center of the vortex!

Anyone who is in it, whether actively or passively, will be drawn into the conspiracy.

Chen Qing also understood this.

So, after he let out a light breath, his mind started to turn again.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and he remembered the official salvage ships on the "Red River" today, and the thunder mentioned by the boatman.

It is now basically certain that the thunderous sounds should be the sounds produced when the two great masters were fighting.

And those official ships should have been dispatched for this matter.

After all, if he can analyze these things, there must be someone in the central government who can also analyze these things.

In fact, because of the difference in the understanding of this world, the analysis within the Central State is likely to be more long-term than his.

Based on this, the central government officials must be trying their best to prevent what will happen next and not give Ryuying an excuse to attack.

This is probably why Qi Yi is not available next time.

Qi Yi's "observational deduction method" gave her unique advantages in on-site investigations, so it was normal for her to be pulled in by the Military Control Commission to assist in the investigation.

But why did those official ships still carry out salvage operations? The people were dead, and finding evidence that Shizuji Kamiizumi had committed murder was the top priority!

unless……

"Jueying" is not actually dead!
In other words, there was no body to confirm his death!
Thinking of this, Chen Qing looked at Qi Yi again and asked, "Senior Sister, is Jueying really dead?"

Qi Yi raised her eyebrows when she heard this and asked, "Why do you ask that?"

Chen Qing did not hide anything and told the boatman about the abnormalities he saw on the surface of the "Red River" when he came here at noon, as well as what he learned from the boatman.

Then, he concluded, "... Senior Sister, although you just said that 'Jueying' is dead, when I asked you about the murderer just now, your description only described the investigation of the scene, and did not mention any murderer or 'Jueying's' body. And those official ships have been conducting salvage operations along the river, so I guess that the scene where the two men fought probably only left traces of destruction, and no body."

"Ok?"

Hearing Chen Qing's words, Qi Yi couldn't help but show surprise on her face, "I didn't expect you to have such a clever idea. It seems that your thinking is very good at reasoning and analysis."

After praising him, she paused for a moment before continuing, "Your guess is correct. There were indeed no bodies at the battle site on Chongyue Island. However, there were not only traces of destruction left there. There were other things, otherwise I would not have told you that Jueying was dead."

"what else?"

Chen Qing asked in surprise.

Qi Yi replied calmly, "There is also a right arm holding a long sword. Based on our observations and speculation, the long sword belongs to Jueying, and the right arm is most likely his. Jueying is a man who practices swordplay to the point of madness. Such people usually 'the sword survives, but the person dies'. So, he is most likely in danger."

"As for the salvage of the official ship 'Hong Jiang', it was to confirm whether he was still alive. If he was indeed alive, the authorities would try their best to save him. But I don't think there is much hope. Judging from the traces of the battle left at the scene, he was at a disadvantage against the murderer with the sword."

Having said that, Qi Yi shook her head slightly.

After hearing what she said, Chen Qing could not help but remain silent again.

He had seen the power of the giant sword energy that "Jueying" slashed out!

Now the opponent has broken one arm, and it is his right arm. Although this does not mean that he is completely disabled, it must be a severe blow to his own strength and spirit!
And what Qi Yi said does make sense.

Even in good condition, he had lost an arm in the battle, not to mention that after the arm was broken, it would be extremely difficult for him to escape when facing Shizuji Kamiizumi!
For a moment, Chen Qing couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Although he had never dealt with "Jueying", the other party defeated Takasugi Naoto in public and humiliated Ryuying, leaving a good impression on him.

Therefore, he felt very sorry for the other party's experience.

While Chen Qing and Qi Yi were talking about this matter, the black car they were riding in was moving non-stop.

When Chen Qing and Qi Yi had almost finished their conversation, the car had unknowingly moved from Jiangwan District to Jiabei District and drove to Yongyuan Road.

"Ok?"

After seeing a familiar scene outside the car window, Chen Qing looked at Qi Yi in surprise and said, "Senior Sister, aren't we going to see Uncle Yue?"

"You need external auxiliary conditions for practicing. There is no suitable place to build and place them in Hu Hai except in the suburbs and here."

Qi Yi replied calmly: "The suburbs are too far away, both for you and for us, so Yiyi's house is the most suitable. The master finally decided to set up the external auxiliary equipment here."

"That's it."

After hearing this, Chen Qing looked enlightened and said nothing more.

Soon, the car arrived in front of the iron gate of Liu Yilin's villa.

The female driver from Suzaku Hall took out a walkie-talkie from her body, turned it on and adjusted it, and then said into the walkie-talkie: "Suzaku fierce flame, reborn from the ashes! We are here."

“Oh oh… Got it!”

After a series of clicks from the intercom, a clear, pleasant, but slightly childish "Got it" was heard.

It’s Liu Yilin’s voice!

The voice on the intercom lasted about a minute or two.

The door of the villa opened and Liu Yilin came out with eight young male and female bodyguards.

At the same time, Liu Yilin ordered the bodyguards she brought with her: "Hurry up and open the door. My sister Yi is here!"

When the bodyguards heard this, one of them standing in the front row immediately stepped forward and opened the iron door.

"Dudu."

After two horn sounds signaled that the car was about to start, the car carrying Chen Qing and others slowly drove into the garden.

Then, led by the bodyguard, the car stopped at an open space in the corner of the garden.

"Get out of the car."

When the car stopped completely, Qi Yi said to Chen Qing in the back seat.

Chen Qing nodded slightly, opened the car door and got out.

Qi Yi and the female driver also got off the car.

When the three of them got out of the car, Liu Yilin also came over with his men.

"Sister Yi, Sister Rong, you big liar, you are here."

Liu Yilin greeted Qi Yi, the female driver, and Chen Qing in turn.

Chen Qing immediately said, "Hey, hey, I was so sincere last time, and you still called me a liar?"

"Oh, I don't know what to call you for a moment."

Liu Yilin laughed and said, "As a man, don't worry about these things. Come into the house quickly. Aunt Yue is waiting for you."

With bodyguards around, Liu Yilin did not call Yue Suchun "Master", but called her Aunt Yue.

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

Afterwards, the three of them followed Liu Yilin and a group of bodyguards into the villa.

The moment he stepped into the villa, Chen Qing immediately saw Yue Suchun sitting on the mahogany sofa in the living room on the first floor.
