Martial Arts Song

Chapter 376 Alliance
Luo Zongping is a great master of "Three Hua Transformations".

If there were no great masters who could compete with him among the martial artists in East City, then there wouldn't be a situation where Luo Zongping, Xin Guiqing and Lu Hongfeng were close to each other and formed cliques. Instead, the other martial artists in East City would more or less support Luo Zongping.

Therefore, there must be another great master among the group of martial artists who are at odds with Luo Zongping, Xin Guiqing, and Lu Hongfeng!

This is the result obtained from the most basic logical deduction.

Chen Qing had already analyzed this point when he knew that Luo Zongping, Xin Guiqing, and Lu Hongfeng were close and had martial artists that they were not on good terms with in East City.

However, he didn't know who the martial artists in East City were at that time, so he had no way of judging who the great master was among the martial artists who were at odds with Luo Zongping and others.

It was not until now, after knowing all the martial arts masters in Dongcheng, that he knew who it was from the information about the masters he had read before.

Just as Chen Qing was looking at Pan Qiming, Pan Qiming also obviously noticed him.

After being flattered by Li Hua, Wang Zhi, He Hou and others, he looked at Chen Qing and asked with a smile, "Hey, I haven't seen this kid before. Who brought this child here?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Luo Zongping.

Chen Qing sat with Luo Zongping and others, and it was obvious that they were the other party's people. However, neither Lu Hongfeng nor Xin Guiqing were great masters of "Three Huas Transformation". According to common sense, they should not dare to break the rule of not bringing outsiders.

In addition, the initiator of this gathering was Luo Zongping.

Therefore, he naturally suspected Luo Zongping.

He just smiled and said, "Lao Luo, isn't this another illegitimate child of yours?"

Hearing this, Luo Zongping just smiled and replied, "This is a kid I met recently in East City. I got to know him and found him to be a nice guy, so I asked him to come over. Now that everyone is here, let's stop talking nonsense and sit down and talk business."

He did not retort to Pan Qiming.

This immediately surprised all the other martial artists present except Chen Qing.

After the surprise, the expressions on the faces of the martial artists present gradually became serious.

On weekdays, the two gangs often quarrel with each other because of their different ideas and concepts.

Even when they get together most of the time, the two gangs would, whenever they got the chance, use sarcastic, teasing, or mocking words to confront each other.

Over the years, this has basically become a habit.

Therefore, Luo Zongping's abnormal behavior immediately made the martial artists present realize the seriousness of the matter.

Pan Qiming, who was originally smiling and joking, put away the smile on his face and said to Zhang Hai beside him: "Sit down first and listen to what Master Luo has to say."

As he spoke, he walked around the big round table and came to where Li Hua, Wang Zhi and He Hou were sitting.

The fat master Zhang Hai who followed him naturally didn't say anything, and still followed him to where Li Hua and others were sitting.

Soon, the two sat down.

After the two of them sat down, Luo Zongping stood up and waved his sleeves towards the door behind him.

A gust of wind suddenly blew up and blew the door that was originally half-open shut with a bang.

Pan Qiming, who was sitting opposite, saw this and casually waved his sleeves, creating a gust of wind that closed the door behind their side.

Then, Luo Zongping looked around at everyone present and said, "Everyone, you should all know that the Ryuying warship has come to the waters of our Huhai, right?"

When everyone heard this, Chang Yiyang, Qin Feng, and Fu Yong from the other group looked at each other and nodded in response:
"know."

"Yes, I read the newspaper two days ago."

"What's wrong, Master Luo?"

The martial artists on Pan Qiming's side all turned to look at Pan Qiming who was sitting in the middle to see what Pan Qiming's attitude was.

Pan Qiming looked at Luo Zongping and said calmly, "Master Luo, just say whatever you want to say. Although the masters present are not as well-informed as you, I believe everyone will know about this big thing at the first time."

"it is good."

After listening to this, Luo Zongping nodded slightly, and then said: "Then I will speak frankly. This time, the Ryuying warships have arrived at the waters of 'Huhai'. According to some information I know, there is a high probability that the Ryuying will start a war! I hope that all of us here, as martial artists in Dongcheng, can put aside our past grudges and form an alliance to fight against the foreign enemies together!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the martial artists present were suddenly in an uproar!
"Ryuying wants to go to war with us? Impossible!"

"That's right, isn't Ryuying's main military force at the northern border?"

"Yes, and what is the reason for them to go to war with us? Is it because Master Jue killed the Ryuying Sword Saint some time ago? But wasn't it the Ryuying Sword Saint who attacked Jueying first? How dare they start a war?!"

"Let's not talk about these. Liuying has been shameless more than once or twice, but Hu Hai has concessions! There are people from the three major countries in the concessions. Don't they care about the lives of the people from the three major countries in the West?!"

The martial artists present expressed their thoughts and judgments one after another, and none of them believed that Liuying would really declare war on "Hu Hai".

Pan Qiming, the only great master present, frowned and asked directly: "Master Luo, what is the basis for your judgment? As far as I know, our Central State officials are still negotiating with the Liuying party, and there is no sign that the other party will start a war."

Upon hearing this, the other masters shut their mouths and looked at Luo Zongping again, wanting to see how Luo Zongping would answer this question.

Luo Zongping looked at Pan Qiming calmly and said, "Master Pan, are you really still negotiating?"

Pan Qiming fell silent when he heard this.

Upon seeing this, the other martial artists were stunned at first, and then they realized that the official situation of Central Country might be worse than they thought!
When Chen Qing heard Luo Zongping's words, he was moved.

It seems that Luo Zongping and Pan Qiming, two great masters of the "Three Huas Transformation", also knew that Liuying had given the Central State officials a half-month deadline...

Just as Chen Qing was maintaining a state of visualization, this thought flashed through his mind.

Luo Zongping spoke again and said directly: "According to the information I received, the Liuying party gave us half a month. If we don't hand over the murderer who killed the Liuying Sword Saint within half a month, they will declare war on Hu Hai. Who is the murderer? I don't need to tell you, right?"

After saying this, he glanced at the martial artists present again.

After hearing what he said, the faces of the martial artists present instantly turned ugly.

The murderer of Ryuying Sword Master had been widely reported in previous newspapers, so of course they knew who it was.

Master Jue!
The Liuying faction actually wants the Central State officials to hand over a peerless master. This is simply crazy!

"He was the first to injure Master Jue's apprentice. After Master Jue retaliated, he actually wanted the Central State officials to hand him over! This Liuying is really as shameless as ever!"

"Yes! Liuying is really too shameless! With Master Jue's temper, he will never tolerate such a thing. If he knew, he would probably kill all the Liuying people!"

"No wonder the authorities kept this a secret. They probably don't want Master Jue to find out and start a massacre of the Ryuying people. That would probably lead to an all-out war."

"But if what Master Luo said is true, Liuying has given the authorities half a month to send people back. If they can't send people back by then, I'm afraid a war will break out..."

When everyone discussed this, they all fell silent.

No wonder Luo Zongping is so confident.

Because this is a conspiracy that is bound to start a war! "Bang!"

After a moment of silence, there was a loud slamming of the table.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lu Hongfeng, a man with gray hair and beard, saying angrily, "Damn it! When will we stop being bullied at will?"

After hearing this, everyone present remained silent.

Chen Qing, who saw all this, also remained silent.

He did not reveal that the authorities were investigating and looking for evidence.

Because it was the first time he met these people, he was not sure whether anyone present had been instigated by Liuying to rebel.

Although these people are all well-known martial artists in Dongcheng, they are old people who lived during the Ning Dynasty, so there must be no problem with their backgrounds.

But it is hard to say whether he was instigated by Ryuo to rebel during these decades of his life.

If someone inside has been turned, and he speaks out, he will not only expose himself but also hinder the official investigation.

Another thing, it doesn’t make any sense.

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

Even if she can get away with it this time, Ryuying will find other excuses in the future.

Besides, there is no guarantee that I can escape this time.

Therefore, Chen Qing chose to remain silent like everyone else.

After everyone was silent for a while, Luo Zongping spoke again to break the silence. He said, "Now you know my basis, right? Two days have passed since the half-month deadline given by Liuying. We still have thirteen days. We must make arrangements and preparations in these thirteen days! Now, let me ask again, does anyone object to us forming an alliance to fight against foreign enemies together?"

After saying this, he once again glanced at the martial artists present.

Naturally, no one among the martial artists present objected.

Since we know that Ryusaku is destined to go to war, it is better to stick together than to be alone.

Seeing that no one objected, Luo Zongping retracted his gaze and said again: "Since no one objects, then let's discuss mutual solidarity and assistance. I have made a support route map here, you can take a look."

As he spoke, Luo Zongping left his seat and came to a wooden cabinet in the corner of the box that was taller than a person.

I saw him grab the cabinet with his right hand and lift it lightly, and then he lifted up the wooden cabinet weighing one or two hundred kilograms.

Then he stretched out his left hand, and a white mist spurted out from his fingertips, flew under the raised cabinet, and blew out a light brown file bag.

Then, he put down the cabinet, bent down, picked up the file bag, opened it, and reached out to take out a stack of white paper with words on it.

"This alliance against the enemy is related to the safety of East City, so after everyone has read my route map, if you have anything to add or see any omissions, I hope everyone can actively speak up and make up for it."

Holding the stack of white papers with words on them, Luo Zongping returned to his seat and distributed the papers in his hand to the martial artists present one by one.

Chen Qing, Xin Guiqing and Lu Hongfeng were close to him, so when he gave the cards to them, he just picked one out at random and placed it in front of them.

When he attacked the other two groups of martial artists who were far away from him, white mist would burst out from his fingertips again, blowing the white paper in his hand accurately in front of the other party.

With just this one skill, the master's perfect control is fully demonstrated!

After hearing his words, the martial artists present remained silent. They all lowered their heads and began to read the contents on the white paper.

Chen Qing also looked down.

There is actually only one main thing on this white paper, which is how to help each other!
For example, which martial arts school is close to which other martial arts school? When a war breaks out and they encounter a situation that they cannot resist, different fireworks are used as signals, and the nearest martial arts school will see it and go to provide support.

In addition to this, the white paper actually contained a map of East City, marking the location of each martial arts school, and also drawing out various support routes, including the shortest route, the most complicated route, the most secretive route, and so on.

Except for Sanlin District, Chen Qing is not familiar with other districts, including Sanyang District.

When he first came to Sanlin District, he spent some time wandering around and lived there for almost half a year.

In addition, his [God] value has recently increased to 7.6, and his memory has been greatly enhanced, so he can be said to be familiar with it!

So he took a closer look at the terrain of the Sanlin District.

Then he discovered that the paths on this simple map were all correct, the same as the paths in the Sanlin District in his memory!
After seeing this, Chen Qing couldn't help but feel moved.

"Just this map alone must have taken Luo Zongping a lot of effort to draw..."

There are nine districts in Dongcheng District, and each district is very large.

If you want to walk through and remember every path, big or small, it may take an ordinary person several years to do it.

Even for a master like Luo Zongping who has mastered the "Three Huas Transformation" and possesses a super memory of "divine transformation", it would probably take a lot of time to verify each path.

A great master actually did such a thing. How long had he been foreseeing what would happen today?

For a moment, Chen Qing became even more curious about Luo Zongping.

"Master Luo, you actually remember the routes of our various districts in such detail!"

While Chen Qing was thinking, some of the martial artists present had finished reading the map and couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise: "This map alone must have taken up a lot of your time, right?!"

After watching it one after another, the other martial artists also raised their heads and looked at Luo Zongping in surprise.

In response, Luo Zongping just shook his head slightly and said, "It's just a small matter. Let's continue talking about business. Do you have anything to add, Master?"

"No problem on my end. The path on this map is the same as the paths I know about traveling by land."

"That's fine with me. The path on this map is exactly the same as Tutang's."

"Me too……"

Various martial artists spoke up to confirm.

They all looked at the route maps of their own areas.

The mutual verification also confirmed the accuracy of this roadmap.

"The path has been confirmed. Now let's talk about more realistic issues."

After everyone verified that the map was fine, Pan Qiming frowned and said, "Where can we get the signal smoke for communication and weapons in such a short time? You know, once a war breaks out, those Ryuying soldiers will use guns. Are our martial arts disciples going to use their flesh and blood to block the gun holes? Some of us can't withstand bullets, let alone ordinary people like them."

After saying this, he looked at Luo Zongping.

Upon hearing this, the other martial artists also looked at Luo Zongping.
