Martial Arts Song

Chapter 347 Black Mask
As night falls, street lights on both sides of the street begin to light up one after another.

Sitting in the rickshaw, Chen Qing looked at the gradually darkening sky and the street scenes on both sides, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

The autumn wind blows towards you, bringing a hint of chill.

However, for Chen Qing, whose [Essence] value has exceeded 30, this little chill is naturally nothing.

While waiting for the rickshaw to arrive at the harbor bridge area, he thought about things while looking at the [Spirit] value at the bottom of his left eye:
【Fine: 30.20234987】

【Qi: 8.728923468】

【God: 6.170398237】

After the second high-pressure "Qi training", Chen Qing's [Spirit] value has broken through the 6 level and increased to around 6.17.

As for the changes in "qi", the values ​​in the left eye could not be seen, but at this moment, Chen Qing's abdomen was burning hot, and he did not feel cold even without wearing any clothes.

Apart from that, a wisp of white gas would float out of his body from time to time, but it was not noticeable because it was too little.

This is also the reason why he judged that he would be able to undergo transformation after one or two more "Qi training"!
When water is about to boil, wisps of white smoke will appear first.

Although Chen Qing was looking at the values ​​at the bottom of his left eye, most of his attention was not on them, but on what he was thinking about.

Although he had the idea that there would always be someone tall to hold up the sky if it fell, when he was at Liu Yilin's house, he did not think deeply about the ultimate purpose of the press conference held by Ryuying.

But that was mainly because he didn't have enough information.

Otherwise, due to the habitual "intentional" thinking he had formed before, he would not help but think deeply about this matter.

Now he left Liu Yilin's home and returned to Dongcheng. When the ferry arrived at Sanyang Ferry, he went ashore and stopped a rickshaw to go to Gangqiao to perform his mission. While sitting in the rickshaw, he suddenly thought of something.

He felt the urgency and wanted to complete the trial mission to get promoted to the gold medal quickly in order to earn the 200,000 mission fee as soon as possible and then use the fee to make corresponding preparations.

The main preparation, of course, is the food, clothing and other expenses of the Chen family if a war really breaks out.

According to historical experience in past lives, once a war breaks out, the first thing to skyrocket in price is food, followed by various supplies.

Chen Qing's plan was to purchase a batch of food and supplies first in case a war really broke out.

With this idea in mind, he couldn't help but think of the materials stored in the warehouse of Luo Zongping in the "Luo's Paper Mill".

This suddenly made him wonder, could Luo Zongping, the great master of "Three Transformations", have foreseen today's situation long ago?
Given the other party's strength and the fact that he is a native of "Hu Hai", the height at which he stands and the information he knows must be higher than his and more than his. This is entirely possible.

Chen Qing even felt that the reason why the other party had become busy and absent recently, as well as the so-called special gold-level group task issued by the "Yun" organization, might be related to what the other party knew and what he had done.

But there was too little information available, and Chen Qing found it difficult to conduct an effective analysis.

He just took advantage of the time while riding in the car to integrate all the information he knew and think about it casually.

While he was "thinking wildly", the rickshaw he was riding in finally arrived at Gangqiao District.

……

When Chen Qing arrived at Gangqiao District, the time had already turned from six in the evening to seven in the evening, and the sky above his head had turned completely dark.

In autumn, the sea becomes even colder after dark, especially in the harbor bridge area at the dock. Blown by the sea breeze, the temperature is one degree lower than other areas.

On the streets, many people have put on cotton clothes and coats after get off work, and their steps have become hurried.

Chen Qing did not take a rickshaw directly to the pier, but got off the rickshaw in the central area of ​​the Gangqiao District, where there were the most people.

The reason why we didn't go directly to the pier was, of course, because that would be too obvious.

He came here to carry out a mission to kill people. Although his target was not anyone from the Axe Gang, he was hiding inside the Gang and was most likely recruited by the gang's boss, Wang Chen.

Once the fight starts, the Axe Gang will definitely help the other side, and by then, it will be impossible for him to be soft on the Axe Gang.

Therefore, if he took a rickshaw directly to the dock, he would most likely be seen by members of the Axe Gang there. If the rickshaw driver was caught by the Axe Gang, his car at Sanyang Ferry would be exposed, and his whereabouts would be tracked to the Sanyang District.

Although the probability of finding him is very low based on this alone, he is naturally unwilling to take this risk for no reason if he can avoid it.

Besides, he still had some preparations to do.

After he got off the bus, he walked through the crowd and stopped in front of a grocery store.

"What would you like to order, sir?"

The grocery store owner saw him, came out and asked with a warm smile.

Chen Qing walked into the grocery store, took a look around, and finally stopped in front of a wall with masks hanging on it.

Then, after a quick glance, he finally reached out and took off a black soft rubber mask.

"Just have this."

Chen Qing held the mask and said to the boss with a smile.

"Okay, Chenghui, thirty dollars."

The boss replied with an enthusiastic smile.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing smiled and did not bargain.

After paying the money, he walked into the crowd again with the mask...

More than twenty minutes later.

Harbor bridge area, wharf.

The harbor bridge pier under the dark night is a spacious flat land.

On these flat grounds, in an area along the coast, square wooden boxes made of planks are piled up everywhere, and some are piled up as high as a hill. They are all goods from trade in various places that have not been taken away yet.

The outer circle is an iron barrier net that is driven into the ground with steel bars and then connected and pulled up with iron nets.

These barrier iron nets fit tightly together. Except for a few areas that serve as doors, the barrier iron nets in other places are tied with circles of barbed wire.

The purpose is naturally to prevent someone from climbing over the net and stealing goods on the dock.

In addition, outside the iron barrier, at each entrance and exit, there is a row of one or two-story concrete bungalows built on both sides, which are used to accommodate the staff responsible for guarding during the day and night, as well as the offices of the terminal managers.

It was evening and there were still many porters busy here.

Trucks carrying goods were parked in front of some wooden boxes piled up like small hills. Porters came and went, carrying the boxes one by one from the piles of goods to the front of the trucks, and then worked with the people on the trucks to load the goods.

Under the cover of night, except for the rows of houses on both sides of the entrance and exit which were wired and lit, there were no lights anywhere else on the dock. All lighting was provided by truck lights or handheld lanterns used by staff.

When Chen Qing arrived here, no one noticed him because it was too dark.

However, as he walked over, several trucks loaded with goods passed by him.

Looking at the still busy dock.

When Chen Qing was still some distance away from the blocking iron net, he slowly raised his hand and put on the black soft rubber mask he had bought on his face.

Since he came to "Hu Hai", he has not had much dealings with the Axe Gang.

The only time we had a face-to-face encounter was when I first joined the "Yun" organization and was carrying out the mission of surrendering.

Therefore, Chen Qing actually didn't know where the Axe Gang's "nest" was.

Of course, he could actually use the rights of the "Yun" organization's silver killer to pay the "Yun" intelligence team to help him investigate, and then take action after obtaining the intelligence.

And he did so.

But sometimes plans can't keep up with changes.

The investigation of the "Yun" organization would take time, and he was not in a hurry at first, but the press conference of the Liuying side gave him a sense of urgency.

Therefore, he decided not to wait for the investigation of the "Yun" organization and directly use the most primitive method - with his current strength, he doesn't need to have too many concerns when carrying out this kind of mission.

The Axe Gang's original territory was only the Gangqiao District, and its biggest source of income was controlling the Gangqiao Wharf!

Although there are definitely more than just the Axe Gang involved, there are probably other people behind the scenes. After all, the interests of Half City Port are not something that a small gang can fully control. But at least on the surface, the Axe Gang is in control of the Port Bridge Wharf.

Chen Qing didn't intend to take a piece of the pie at Gangqiao Wharf. He just wanted to find the Axe Gang's "nest" here, and thus find the target of this mission, "Qiao Yaozong".

After he put on the mask, he walked straight towards an entrance and exit of the dock.

Although it was dark, the light was dim at the dock, and it was still busy, Murong, who was wearing a mask and not showing his face, naturally quickly attracted the attention of the people in front of the two rows of houses on the left and right of the entrance and exit.

"What do you do?"

On both sides of the entrance and exit, among the seven or eight staff members guarding the place, a young man still wearing shorts, when he saw Chen Qing coming, he immediately looked over, raised his finger and pointed at Chen Qing, questioning him.

Chen Qing didn't say anything, but just continued walking forward.

The young man frowned upon seeing this, stepped forward, and with his right hand, he pulled out an axe from his trouser pocket.

"I asked you what you do!"

Holding the axe, the young man raised the axe in his hand, pointed at Chen Qing, pulled the corner of his mouth, and questioned again with a fierce expression.

During this time, the distance between the two of them was shortened to a few meters.

suddenly!

Chen Qing rushed forward and in a flash, he was in front of the young man.

The young man saw a flash before his eyes, and the strange figure in a suit and mask was already in front of him.

He subconsciously took a step back.

But Chen Qing "swish" his right hand, drawing an arc of afterimage as fast as a shadow, snatched the axe from his hand, and then said lightly: "I want to see your boss."

The young man looked at his empty right hand in dumbfoundedness.

The other guards had already seen the situation here, but they just didn't take any action.

When they saw the axe in the young man's hand being snatched away, the other people on both sides of the entrance and exit immediately looked fierce and drew out the axes on their waists.

One of them shouted fiercely: "You dare to come to our Axe Gang's territory to cause trouble? I think you are looking for death! Brothers, chop him down!"

As the words came out, the remaining people all rushed towards Chen Qing with axes raised.

Chen Qing looked at the people rushing towards him with a calm expression, slowly turned the axe he had snatched in his hand, and walked towards them leisurely.

bang bang bang bang...

There were a series of muffled noises, which lasted for less than a minute.

These seven or eight people all lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

But the situation here also attracted the attention of more Axe Gang members inside the iron fence.

"There seems to be someone causing trouble over there, call for help! Get your weapons!"

In a short moment, dozens of Axe Gang members wearing shorts and holding axes rushed towards Chen Qing with alarming momentum.

Looking at the dozens of people rushing over, Chen Qing chuckled, and instead of retreating, he walked directly into the barrier iron net and rushed towards the dozens of Axe Gang members wearing shorts...

……

Harbor Bridge District.

Harbour Bridge Hotel.

In a luxurious box.

A variety of rich dishes were placed on the huge round dining table, and a group of people sat around it, chatting and laughing.

One of them was a middle-aged man in his forties, with hair wax on his head, combed back, wearing black trousers, a white shirt, and a black suit vest. He held a burning cigar between his right index and middle fingers, and a wine glass. He smiled and said to another tall and burly middle-aged man sitting next to him, who had a sturdy temperament:

"… Lieutenant Luo, just leave the matter to me. I promise to do it beautifully!"

A tall and sturdy middle-aged man with a sturdy temperament, also held a cigar between the index finger and ring finger of his right hand, but his hands were folded on his thighs with his legs crossed. While listening to the conversation, he took a puff of the cigar from time to time.

After listening to the conversation, he raised his hand and hooked the shoulder of the middle-aged man in a suit vest from behind, and said with a smile: "Brother Wang Chen, as long as you can handle this matter, I can tell you that unifying the gangs in East City is just an appetizer! There will be more good things waiting for you in the future!"

"Thank you very much, Adjutant Luo!"

The middle-aged man called Wang Chen smiled and raised his glass to the other party and said, "Let's have a drink and then go to the next one I arranged?"

Upon hearing this, Adjutant Luo's eyes lit up, and he immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him and said with a smile, "Then let's have one."

After saying that, he clinked the wine glass in Wang Chen's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

While the two were talking, a group of people dressed in uniform were sitting next to each of them.

On Wang Chen's right was a group of Axe Gang members, led by a middle-aged man in his thirties, who was lean, dark-skinned, and tough. They all wore black suits and vests, with their coats draped over the backs of their chairs, and their hair was combed back into a shiny slicked-back style.
On the left side of Adjutant Luo was a group of young and middle-aged soldiers with tall postures, wearing light blue military uniforms and full of energy.

At this moment, both sides were eating in silence.

suddenly--

"Dong dong dong."

There was a slight knock on the door.

Then, a member of the Axe Gang wearing a black suit and a top hat pushed the door open and walked in.

Then, the Axe Gang member came straight to Wang Chen, leaned over and whispered something in his ear as Wang Chen had just finished drinking.

Wang Chen, who originally had a smile on his face, frowned as he listened.

"Brother Wang Chen, what's wrong?"

Seeing Wang Chen frowning, Adjutant Luo next to him immediately asked with a smile.

"it's okay no problem."

Wang Chen quickly replied with a smile.

Then, he turned his head and looked to the side, and said calmly to the young and middle-aged man on his right: "Tian Sheng, something happened at the dock, go and deal with it."

After that, he turned to Adjutant Luo and said with a smile: "Let's go, Adjutant Luo, let's go to the next game."

"It's OK, okay, let's go to the next one!"

Adjutant Luo smiled brightly and hooked his hand around Wang Chen's shoulder again.

The two of them walked out of the box arm in arm.

When the two men left the box, except for the young and middle-aged man called "Tian Sheng" and the Axe Gang member who came in to report the situation, everyone else stood up and left with the two men.

The young and middle-aged man known as "Tian Sheng" sat in his seat, listening to the Axe Gang member who had just come in, leaning over to his ear and describing the details of the situation.

Slowly, his brows furrowed more and more tightly.

When the Axe Gang member finished explaining the details, he frowned and looked at the other party. He said hesitantly, "You mean, a guy wearing a black mask suddenly appeared and killed hundreds of our brothers at the dock?"

"Yes, Brother Sheng."

The Axe Gang member who reported the news said with a wry smile: "If the person who came to report the news was not my brother, I would not believe it."

After hearing this, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes for a moment.

The next second, he stood up suddenly, picked up the coat draped over the back of the chair, and walked directly out of the box, saying, "Call the nightclub and ask them to ask Mr. Qiao to come over."

"Okay! I'll go right away!"

The Axe Gang member responded, then ran ahead and left the box first.
