Martial Arts Song

Chapter 336 Showdown
"Oh?"

Hearing Chen Qing's words, Yue Suchun, who was sitting on the main seat on the mahogany sofa, and Qi Yi, who was standing aside with her arms folded, looked at each other immediately.

Afterwards, the two looked at Chen Qing again, and Qi Yi narrowed her eyes and asked, "What happened to you last night?"

Ok?
Hearing Qi Yi's question and looking at the attitudes of the two, Chen Qing couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

The two were not surprised by his so-called "eye-catching trick", but instead asked him what he had experienced last night.

Obviously, the two knew about the existence of the "eye-catching trick", and they probably knew it earlier than him, that Juechen's killing of Kamiizumi Shizue in the street was a large-scale "eye-catching trick"!

As if sensing Chen Qing's thoughts, Yue Suchun explained calmly, "Chen Qing, the Central State officials have long speculated that what you witnessed was a 'sleight of hand' for Juechen killing Shangquan Jingsi. However, this is only one of the possibilities in our analysis and speculation, and we cannot confirm it for the time being. In addition, you have no identity within the official system, and we have not told you because of the official confidentiality regulations. Don't think too much about it."

"How could that be, Uncle Master?"

Chen Qing listened to Yue Suchun's words, smiled slightly, and said: "It's all for the good of Yangguo, I won't think too much. Besides, I really don't have any status, and it's very difficult for you, uncle, to be caught in the middle. I understand."

He really didn't think much about it.

He took the initiative to stay away from official contacts, so it was normal that he could not get the latest information from within the official system.

As for the fact that the Central State officials had long known that "Juechen" beheading Kamiizumi Shizuka in the street was most likely a "smokescreen".

Chen Qing was indeed a little surprised when he first heard it.

But I soon felt relieved.

As the central authority, the central government must have integrated much more information about the world than he knows.

In addition, people who can survive in a centralized system are generally very smart, and there are very few stupid people.

With enough information and smart people, it is normal to think of this.

However, since the official analysis has speculated on this possibility, there must be corresponding countermeasures.

So, Chen Qing looked at Yue Suchun and Qi Yi, and did not rush to answer the question Qi Yi had just asked. Instead, he asked, "Uncle Master, Sister Master, since the authorities know that what happened a few days ago was probably a large-scale 'eye-catching trick', aren't you worried that when Central Country and Liuying are negotiating, the guys on the Liuying side who know 'eye-catching tricks' will use 'eye-catching tricks' to cause trouble?"

What he said was actually quite euphemistic. He didn't even say explicitly that someone on Ryuying's side who knew how to "smoke and mirrors" used his ability to fabricate evidence.

But he believed that Yue Suchun and Qi Yi would definitely understand what he meant.

really!

After hearing his words, Yue Suchun did not speak. Qi Yi replied calmly, "What you can think of, the authorities can think of as well. There are not many masters in the world who have achieved the second transformation of 'Lian Shen' and mastered the 'eye-catching trick', but they are definitely not limited to Liuying. There are also such masters in our Central Country. At present, Dayang Martial Arts Hall is already contacting such masters. Before such masters arrive, the negotiations between Central Country and Liuying will not begin."

"In addition, various countries have also developed anti-confusing equipment. During the negotiation, there will be anti-confusing equipment running around the venue. It is absolutely impossible for Ryuying to use this method to interfere with the negotiations."

"There is such a thing?"

Chen Qing was stunned when he heard Qi Yi's words.

"of course."

Qi Yi replied calmly: "How do you think the people from my Suzaku Hall have gained a foothold in the official world? In addition to methods and equipment to assist in practicing martial arts, our main research and development direction is weapons to counterbalance various masters."

"What is the principle of this device?"

Chen Qing asked curiously.

"A master of the second level of 'Divine Transformation' who has mastered the ability of 'Obfuscation' needs to be extremely focused if he wants to use 'Obfuscation' to confuse people's five senses. He also needs to be within a certain range and cannot be too far away from the target of the confusable act."

Qi Yi did not hide it, because she wanted to ask Chen Qing about his experience last night, so she could not refuse Chen Qing's question. She replied: "The anti-confusion equipment we developed is based on the principle of using low-Hz infrasound and high-Hz ultrasound to interfere with the other party's concentration. The hearing of the 'Divine Transformation' masters is sharp, and the hearing of the 'Divine Transformation' masters after the second transformation can even hear sounds that ordinary people cannot hear. But this is not entirely a good thing, and we take advantage of this."

After the explanation, Qi Yi didn't care whether Chen Qing understood or not. She looked at Chen Qing and said, "Now can you tell me what happened to you last night?"

Chen Qing listened to Qi Yi's explanation seriously, and then digested it thoughtfully for a long time.

Then, he looked at Yue Suchun and Qi Yi and answered their questions: "I met Jueying last night."

"what?!"

Hearing Chen Qing's words, Qi Yi, who had folded her arms, immediately put them down, squinted at Chen Qing and asked, "Where did you meet him?!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing did not hide anything and immediately told Yue Suchun and Qi Yi the place where he met Jueying and Xuanfeng, and what Xuanfeng had told him about how he rescued Jueying in the big field.

After listening to Chen Qing's story, Qi Yi squinted her eyes and said, "No wonder we searched along Wusong, Yangxing, Dachang and the route from Yangxing to Huhai for so long but couldn't find him. It turns out that Junior Brother Xuanfeng took him away."

After saying that, she opened her slightly narrowed eyes and continued to look at Chen Qing, asking: "Where is Jueying now? How is he doing?"

"He is not in danger of death at the moment, but he and I are both in some trouble."

Chen Qing said.

"trouble?"

Qi Yi raised her eyebrows, "What trouble did you encounter?"

By inviting a master who also mastered the "eye-catching trick" to the Dayang Martial Arts Hall, and with the double insurance of anti-confusing equipment, it was destined that the master who mastered the "eye-catching trick" of Liuying would not be able to affect the negotiations between Yangguo and Liuying.

At this time, Jueying as a witness becomes particularly important.

So, when Qi Yi heard that Jueying was in trouble, she just needed a name to take people to eliminate this so-called trouble.

After Chen Qing saw that after a lot of detours, the matter finally came to his side. He said without hesitation: "Jueying and I have been targeted by the expert who has mastered the 'eye-catching trick' from Liuying!"

"Ok?"

Hearing his words, Qi Yi and Yue Suchun, who was sitting on the main seat on the mahogany sofa, were both stunned.

Yue Suchun asked in surprise: "How did you get targeted?"

Qi Yi at the side also asked curiously: "Yeah, how did you get targeted? Didn't you just meet Jueying last night?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing sighed and said, "This is what happened..." With the help of Yue Suchun and Qi Yi, as well as the power of the Military Control Commission and the Central State officials behind them, Chen Qing understood that he could no longer conceal the fact that he had killed Takasugi Naoto.

So, he began to tell the whole story of the murder of Takasugi Naoto from beginning to end.

After telling this series of events, he concluded, "...That's pretty much what happened. I don't think I left any evidence or traces, but Ryuying did send someone to investigate my place, and I found signs of their presence. I don't know how they locked onto my place."

After Yue Suchun and Qi Yi heard what he said.

Yue Suchun frowned slightly, looking thoughtful.

Qi Yi looked directly at Chen Qing and sneered, "Why, now you finally admit that it was you who caused me to be clocked in on time?"

At the beginning, Qi Yi told Chen Qing that Liuying sent people to Dongcheng to conduct a secret investigation. As a result, the next day, the newspaper "Small Composition" and the migrant workers' protest march appeared in Dongcheng.

This caused Qi Yi to be suspected of being a leaker for a period of time. She had to punch in and out on time for various things and lost her previous freedom.

And every time Qi Yi used this incident to talk about Chen Qing, Chen Qing denied it.

But today, in order to take advantage of the power of Yue Suchun, Qi Yi, the Military Control Commission and even the official power, Chen Qing finally admitted it!
In fact, two days ago, Ryuying published an announcement in the newspaper about the death of Kamiizumi Shizuji, and when Chen Qing responded with the same method, he had already implicitly acknowledged the matter.

However, Qi Yi was busy investigating Jueying's affairs at the time and had no time or mood to argue with Chen Qing about these things.

But now, knowing that Chen Qing had met Jueying, the "witness" she had been searching for for many days had finally been found, and she was finally in the mood to joke with Chen Qing.

"what……"

Facing Qi Yi's questioning, Chen Qing just laughed dryly.

At this time, Yue Suchun thought for a moment, looked up at Chen Qing, and said, "The only two ninja masters of Ryu Sakura who have achieved the second transformation of 'divine transformation' are from Iga Ryu. They are Furukawa Takashi and Chiba Kiyohiro. Furukawa Takashi is good at 'eye-catching' tricks that deceive the five senses, while Chiba Kiyohiro is good at 'spiritual' aspects. The one who came here secretly this time should be Furukawa Takashi."

At this point, Yue Suchun paused, then looked directly into Chen Qing's eyes and said, "I understand what you mean. You want to use your own and our power to get rid of Furukawa Takashi who discovered your residence, right?"

After this period of contact, Yue Suchun, who has rich life experience, has also seen some of Chen Qing's character.

Although he usually laughs and jokes with Yiyi and is polite in front of her, his character of not wanting to get involved in too much trouble yet being decisive enough is somewhat similar to the tiger in her memory.

This made her feel more or less complicated.

Seeing that Yue Suchun had revealed his thoughts, Chen Qing did not deny it and nodded, "Yes!"

"it is good."

Seeing Chen Qing nod his head in agreement, Yue Suchun also nodded and said, "It just so happens that Furukawa Takashi is indeed a big pest to the Central State. We can take advantage of this opportunity to eradicate this big pest while the enemy is in the open and we are in the dark."

As she spoke, she slowly stood up from the mahogany sofa.

But then, she looked at Chen Qing and said, "However, if we want to eradicate this big pest, you have to be the bait. The 'Divine Transformation' master is very cunning and can detect any gazes, not to mention the 'Divine Transformation' master who has undergone the second transformation. If there is any sign of trouble, he will probably run away immediately."

"So, we can only assist remotely, and you need to send a signal to remind us when we need assistance. But facing such a master who can deceive the five senses, you may not know when you are being deceived. It is very dangerous. Are you... sure?"

Finally, she asked hesitantly.

After hearing this, Chen Qing glanced at the [Spirit] value at the bottom of his left eye, then nodded without hesitation and replied: "Confirmed!"

……

September 18th, noon.

After the official arrival of autumn, the sun no longer often appears in the sky of "Huhai".

Many times, the sky is covered with layers of dark clouds, which cast a gray hue on the entire city and make people feel more or less depressed.

Today is such a cloudy day.

However, such a cloudy day also has an advantage, which is that the temperature will drop accordingly. Although it is only early autumn, the temperature can already feel a hint of autumn.

Dongcheng, Sanlin District.

A rickshaw pulling a middle-aged man wearing a long gown and a top hat was driving on the streets of Sanlin, going deeper and deeper.

About ten minutes later.

The rickshaw drove to the entrance of the remote "Sanlin Town".

When it arrived at the entrance of Sanlin Town, the rickshaw slowly stopped.

Then, the driver looked at the road ahead, which was mainly made of mud, sand and gravel, and turned to the passenger in the back seat with an embarrassed look on his face and said, "Sir, I can only take you here. If you continue on this road, I'm afraid my tires won't be able to take it."

In response to his words, the middle-aged man in a long gown and a mandarin jacket in the car did not move. He just smiled and asked, "Just tell me how much you want."

"Sir, this is not about the money."

The driver shook his head and replied, "This kind of muddy and gravel road is very easy for my car to get a flat tire when driving on it. When the time comes, the cost of repairing the tire and the loss of work time will add up..."

Before he finished speaking, the middle-aged man sitting in the back seat suddenly pulled out a handful of coins from his clothes and threw them at the driver, asking repeatedly, "Is it enough? Is it enough? Is it enough?"

The driver was stunned for a moment when he was hit at first.

But the next second, he nodded quickly in ecstasy, saying, "Enough! Enough! Enough!"

While replying, the driver quickly knelt on the ground, and with a look of ecstasy on his face, he kept gathering the coins that were thrown at him and fell to the ground in front of him, and then stuffed handfuls of them into his clothes and trouser pockets.

If there were outsiders present, they would see that the driver was kneeling on the ground, frantically digging the mud, sand and gravel on the ground to his front, and then grabbing handfuls of the mud, sand and gravel and stuffing them into his pockets.

Finally, after stuffing his clothes and trouser pockets bulging, the driver stood up and bowed to the middle-aged man sitting in the rickshaw to express his gratitude. Then he turned around, pulled the rickshaw and rushed away along the muddy and gravel road in the town.

The middle-aged man in a long gown and a mandarin jacket sitting in the back seat just watched the scene with a half-smile on his face, and never moved at all.
