Martial Arts Song

Chapter 377 Confession
Facing the gazes of the martial artists present, Luo Zongping just smiled and said, "Don't worry about the signal smoke. I just happened to have stored a batch in the warehouse. As for the problem of weapons, although I don't have a direct solution, as long as your disciples are familiar with this map, they will be able to take advantage of the terrain."

"By then, if the Ryuo soldiers really land in East City, they can use the complexity of these paths to ambush and seize the weapons in the hands of the Ryuo soldiers for their own use. Of course, there are certain risks in doing so, but it is better than sitting and waiting to die, isn't it?"

After hearing Luo Zongping's words, the martial artists present fell silent again.

They naturally understood that they already had cold weapons such as swords and knives, but the military did not have enough guns and firearms, so it was naturally impossible for ordinary people to get them in large quantities.

The method Luo Zongping mentioned is indeed the only feasible method after a war breaks out.

The reason why they remained silent was actually that they found it difficult to accept the sudden outbreak of war.

Although Liuying had previously held a public press conference in the Xicheng Concession and issued an ultimatum to the central government officials.

But after reading the news in the newspaper, they did not take it too seriously and just thought it was a negotiation tactic of Ryuu.

Therefore, they were not actually mentally prepared to face the war.

But no matter whether they are prepared or not, the war is about to break out and it is an indisputable fact that they can only face it.

After a moment of silence, Pan Qiming spoke first and said, "You are right. It is better to use the terrain of East City to seize the weapons of the Liuying soldiers than to sit and wait for death. I agree with this mutual aid alliance!"

After saying that, he raised his hand.

Although he had been fighting openly and secretly for many years, he was naturally able to distinguish right from wrong when it came to major issues.

Seeing him raise his hand to agree, Li Hua, Wang Zhi, He Hou, Zhang Hai and others, led by him, also raised their hands one after another.

"agree!"

"Since Master Pan agrees, I have nothing to say. I agree."

"I agree!"

"Dongcheng belongs to everyone. We can fight as much as we want during normal times, but when there is an invasion by foreign enemies, we still have to unite and face the enemy together! I agree!"

After the five martial artists on Pan Qiming's side raised their hands in agreement, Luo Zongping turned his gaze to the three martial artists on the other side: Chang Yiyang, Qin Feng, and Fu Yong.

Naturally, the three of them did not hesitate and raised their hands together.

Then, the last of the three, Master Fu Yong, said, "We have no objection. We will also inform the Dayang Martial Arts Hall in West City about this matter, and ask them to send some people to support us if they have the spare capacity."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Hongfeng, who was sitting next to Chen Qing, snorted coldly and said, "Forget it. Those guys from West City who joined Dayang Martial Arts Hall only care about fame and fortune. In their eyes, East City has long been a cesspool. It would be good if they don't come to cause trouble for us. You want them to come to support us? You're dreaming!"

After hearing his words, Fu Yong and the other two didn't know what to respond for a moment. After looking at each other, they could only smile bitterly.

It was Luo Zongping who spoke up and eased the embarrassment.

Luo Zongping looked at Lu Hongfeng and said, "Mr. Lu, you can't say that. Although Dayang Martial Arts Hall is affiliated with the government and has indeed poached some people from Dongcheng, I believe that if there is a disaster in Dongcheng, they will not sit idly by. After all, this was once their home."

"Yes."

Xin Guiqing, who was sitting next to Luo Zongping, also spoke up and said, "At this time, let's not distinguish between West City and East City. It is most important to unite to fight against the foreign enemies. I believe that if 'Master Tang' knew that East City was in trouble, he would definitely come back."

"Well, I hope so."

After listening to what the two said, Lu Hongfeng snorted again, but didn't say anything else.

Chen Qing next to him didn't say a word from beginning to end, because it was his first time attending a martial arts gathering in East City. He didn't understand the situation and was not in a position to speak.

However, after listening to the whole thing, he did hear a message from it.

That is, Chang Yiyang, Qin Feng, and Fu Yong have a certain connection with Dayang Martial Arts Hall in Xicheng.

The official Dayang Martial Arts School once poached some masters from Dongcheng, which caused Lu Hongfeng's dissatisfaction.

At the same time, among these masters who were recruited, a master named Tang was the strongest.

Because this master named Tang was mentioned separately by Xin Guiqing.

To be singled out among all the masters, he must be stronger than the other masters, which means that this Master Tang is either a master of "Double Hua Simultaneous Transformation" or a master of "Three Hua Simultaneous Transformation"!
When Chen Qing combined the information about masters he had read before, a name immediately emerged in his mind.

Tang Hui!

There is a person who is also a great master of "Three Huas Transformation"!
He is also one of the few great masters in the master information that Fei Dongtao gave him.

"I didn't expect this person is also a martial artist from East City..."

The information about the experts that Fei Dongtao gave did not break down East City and West City into parts, but only gave some basic information.

Therefore, although the information of the great master Tang Hui included the information of the same martial arts school, Chen Qing did not regard him as a martial artist from Dongcheng.

After all, after meeting the eleven martial artists present, he still had information about other martial arts masters who opened martial arts schools in his mind.

If these people are not here, then it means they are the martial artists from West City.

After learning that the great master "Tang Hui" was also a martial artist from East City, based on what the martial artists present talked about, Chen Qing suddenly understood why the situation among the martial artists in East City was like this.

He had been wondering before how Chang Yiyang, Qin Feng and Fu Yong, the three martial artists, could form a group between Luo Zongping and Pan Qiming when none of them were masters of the "Three Huas Transformation".

Now that we have this "Tang Hui", it makes sense.

This "Tang Hui" was also a great master in East City. Chang Yiyang, Qin Feng, and Fu Yong should be close to each other.

But later, "Tang Hui" was recruited by the official Dayang Martial Arts Hall of the Central State, and went to West City with some masters, while Chang Yiyang, Qin Feng, and Fu Yong stayed in East City and did not follow.

However, the three still maintain contact with "Tang Hui".

For some reason, Luo Zongping and Pan Qiming had no intention of letting the three people take sides, so a third group of three people emerged, independent of the two gangs.

After this analysis, Chen Qing finally had a thorough understanding of the situation of the martial arts masters in the martial arts schools in East City.

Just as he was analyzing all this in his mind, after Lu Hongfeng said nothing more, Luo Zongping spoke again: "Since everyone agrees to form an alliance, then if you have any good ideas about cooperation and mutual assistance, please share them. One person's plan is short and two people's plan is long. Some of my ideas may not be comprehensive enough. Only by discussing together can we find out the gaps and better protect East City."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pan Qiming raised his hand and said, "I have something to add, but I don't think there is anything wrong with Master Luo's cooperation and mutual assistance plan, but to give everyone some confidence. According to what I know, our Hu Hai military has already contacted Jincheng in Zhe Province, and the Jincheng military has contacted all the military regions in the south about this matter. I was wondering why our Hu Hai military would mobilize so many troops, but now it seems that they are preparing for the upcoming war."

"So, don't worry too much. Even if the Ryuying really fight us, it won't be easy for them to land in East City. At least they have to get through the southern armies that come to support them. By then, I believe there won't be too many Ryuying soldiers who really land, so don't be so nervous. The situation is not that bad yet."

"real?!"

Hearing Pan Qiming's words, the martial artists present were stunned.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Hua and others around Pan Qiming immediately started to smile and flatter him again.

"It would be great if the southern armies could provide support! Master Pan, you actually know this kind of news. You are indeed worthy of being me!"

"Master Pan, you are really well-informed!" "Great! This way, even if a war really breaks out, East City should be able to be defended, right?"

Amid the praise from martial artists such as Li Hua and Wang Zhi, Pan Qiming couldn't help but smile.

Chang Yiyang, Qin Feng and Fu Yong, who were standing next to him, also looked much more relaxed and joined in praising Pan Qiming.

As for Chen Qing and the other four.

Lu Hongfeng and Xin Guiqing didn't say anything, but it could be seen that their brows were indeed more relaxed.

Luo Zongping's expression remained calm. In response to Pan Qiming's words, he smiled faintly and said, "That couldn't be better."

As for Chen Qing, he also didn't say anything and there was nothing unusual on his face.

But in his heart, he felt something strange.

But he couldn't tell what was so strange.

The next thing is for everyone to discuss some details of cooperation and mutual assistance.

After discussing for a while, Luo Zongping went out and asked the waiter to start serving the dishes.

Because of the invading Ryuying warships, the atmosphere at the dinner table was very harmonious. Everyone talked and laughed, dispelling the previous seriousness.

After three rounds of drinks, people gradually relaxed and the martial artists present even chatted with Chen Qing, a newcomer who was attending the party for the first time.

Of course, in addition to Li Hua, Wang Zhi and He Hou, who had conflicts with Chen Qing before.

The three of them ignored Chen Qing from beginning to end.

Naturally, Chen Qing ignored the three of them.

In this way, the meal lasted from around noon to around three or four in the afternoon.

When it was around four in the afternoon, almost five.

The people in the box left one after another, and finally only Chen Qing, Luo Zongping and Xin Guiqing were left.

Because Lu Hongfeng was old and couldn't drink too much, he passed away very early.

At this time, the big round table was full of leftovers.

Xin Guiqing stood up with a slightly red face and said, "Lao Luo, little friend Lin, I'm leaving first, you two can chat slowly."

Luo Zongping, who had been chatting with Chen Qing about kung fu with a smile, just like a "teacher" who usually gives instructions, turned his head and looked at Xin Guiqing after hearing what he said, and said with a smile: "Old Xin, go slower, don't fall."

Xin Guiqing waved his hand and left the box without looking back.

When Luo Zongping and Chen Qing were the only two people left in the box, Luo Zongping kept smiling and slowly stood up.

Then, he waved his sleeves to both sides!
"Boom!" "Boom!"

Two streams of energy like white mist burst out and suddenly hit the doors on both sides that were open because the master present had left.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

After two muffled sounds, the door closed.

Then, Luo Zongping looked down at Chen Qing, the smile on his face slowly faded, and he said, "I went to your house when the bombing happened in Sanlin before. How come your house was bombed by shells?"

Chen Qing, who had been listening to Luo Zongping's instructions, was stunned at first when he heard this, but then his expression returned to calm.

He had actually thought about this question a long time ago.

Luo Zongping is a great master of "Three Hua Qi Bian" and has strong strength and connections in "Hu Hai".

Regardless of whether the bombing took place in Sanlin District or not, the other party would probably go and check what happened.

And when the other party investigates and finds out that the bombing took place in Sanlin Town, which happens to be near his home, he will definitely ask this question when he sees him again.

Therefore, Chen Qing had actually already anticipated the answer to this question.

However, for some time afterwards, he never met Luo Zongping again.

Now, hearing Luo Zongping's question, he calmly replied: "I accidentally provoked the Ryuo Ninja Master Furukawa Takashi, so I designed such a killing game with our Central State officials..."

He chose to "tell the truth", starting from the massacre in Dongcheng after Takasugi Naoto was defeated by Jueying, and how the other party came to Sanlin Town to commit more massacres, and ended up near his home. Then he killed Takasugi Naoto, which attracted the investigation of the Ryusakura party and eventually attracted Furukawa Takaya. Then he joined forces with the Military Control Commission to design a killing plan for the other party.

These things actually cannot be concealed. With Luo Zongping's strength, connections, and wisdom, as long as he obtains some of the information, he will be able to connect the things together.

Therefore, he might as well just confess.

Of course, he did not confess completely, but selectively "told the truth".

Everything is true, but there is an information gap.

After telling the whole story, he stood up, bowed slightly and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, I deceived you. In fact, I was once a spy for the Military Control Commission."

The identity he arranged for himself in this incident was a spy for the military among the people - this could reasonably explain why he was able to contact the authorities and bombard Sanlin Town with artillery shells.

When he said this, he was not in a state of visualization, but truly displayed his own emotional changes.

And he was not lying in what he said.

He was indeed a spy for the Military Control Commission.

However, it was not the Military Control Commission on the "Hu Hai" side, but the Military Control Commission's spy on the Qianyang side.

He used to be a spy for Tan Jintai.

But in his statement, he omitted some key words and confused the concepts of before and after time.

Luo Zongping listened to his story quietly and just looked at him calmly.

After a long while, he suddenly said, "It's more than that."

Ok?
Chen Qing was startled when he heard this.

The next second, Luo Zongping narrowed his eyes and said, "You are still a member of the Four Demon Sect, and your master is the 'White Demon Tiger'!"
