Martial Arts Song

Chapter 388 Two Hundred and Eighth Notice
"The art of bewitching... hypnosis..."

After listening to Luo Zongping's story, Chen Qing suddenly became enlightened.

If that's the case, then it seems to make sense...

Use tempting news that directly appeals to people's hearts as bait, and then unknowingly lower the enemy's [God] value, thereby achieving the purpose of control.

Fortunately, he had the special ability of his left eye and noticed the decrease in the [God] value in time, otherwise he and Jueying would have really fallen into the ditch.

For a moment, Chen Qing felt relieved.

While feeling relieved, he carefully recalled Chiba Kiyohiro's ability and felt that the other party's "bewitching technique" or "hypnosis" ability seemed more like an advanced version of the "divine transformation" master's ability to bewitch and instigate.

On the contrary, "eye-catching" is more like taking another path.

After he told Luo Zongping about this idea, Luo Zongping nodded and said with a smile: "You are right. 'Smokescreen' is the ability to deceive others' five senses, while 'bewitching' is to directly control people's behavior. It is indeed more like the next stage of the ability of bewitching and instigating. But in actual combat, this ability is not as practical as 'smokescreen'."

"'Blindness' can deceive the five senses of anyone whose spirit is not as strong as the caster's. The most important thing is whether they can be seen through and how fast they can be seen through. But 'bewitching' is relatively useless. For those with weak spirits, they can be coerced to work for themselves with a musket or an important person, so they don't need 'bewitching'. For those with strong spirits, 'bewitching' needs to set up a trap to constantly wear down their spirit, which takes too long, while the victory between masters is often decided in an instant."

"So, this ability is more used for other things, such as interrogation, such as the conspiracy and intrigue of power struggles and even great power struggles."

At this point, Luo Zongping looked at Chen Qing and continued with a smile: "Qianye Qinghong was extremely unlucky to meet you. Not only did you discover him, but you also discovered his ability. However, he used this ability to help Liuying do so many bad things, and he deserved this disaster."

Chen Qing didn't say anything when he heard this. After all, this was a compliment to him, and he couldn't agree with it.

Fortunately, Luo Zongping did not continue on this topic. Instead, he suddenly reached into his bosom and took out three bamboo tubes as thick as an adult's finger from the pocket of his Zhongshan suit. He handed them to Chen Qing and said:
"This is the signal smoke bomb that I asked the factory to make overtime recently. Take it first. If you encounter any danger, release it into the sky. If Mr. Lu, Mr. Xin, and I see it, we will rush over to support you immediately! Similarly, if you see the same signal fireworks, I hope you can rush over to support us immediately, because it is very likely that I, or Mr. Lu and Mr. Xin are in danger."

When Chen Qing heard this, his expression suddenly became serious.

Luo Zongping did say before that he would provide signal smoke bombs to other martial artists as a support signal, but he didn't expect it to be done now.

But he changed his mind and realized that there had been a workers' strike in East City these days because of the "food shortage" problem, and Luo Zongping's production of these signal smoke bombs was probably also affected. It was already good enough that he could finish the work within half of the half-month deadline given by Liuying.

Therefore, Chen Qing didn't say anything, but stretched out his hand very carefully and took the bamboo tube.

As he took it, he also looked at the signal cigarette bomb.

This signal smoke bomb is mainly made of a bamboo tube, but the ends are covered with paper, and there is a fuse leading out from the tail, so you can tell its usage at a glance.

But Luo Zongping still diligently explained to Chen Qing how to use it and described what the fireworks of the signal smoke bomb looked like.

Chen Qing also listened quietly.

After explaining the use of signal smoke bombs and the appearance of fireworks, Luo Zongping smiled and said, "I will distribute the signal smoke bombs to other martial artists at the big gathering in two days. Currently, there are only four of us. Lao Xin lives close to me, so I sent someone to deliver them to him as soon as they came out. I also gave these to Lao Lu before you came. These three are yours. You can use them temporarily. If they are not enough, I will give them to you at the big gathering in two days."

After hearing these words, Chen Qing couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Luo Zongping's words have some hidden meaning.

The other party knows that he has become "angry" now.

Moreover, unlike other martial artists, he does not have a family to support and a group of disciples to take care of.

It can be said that among all the martial artists in East City, apart from the two great masters Luo Zongping and Pan Qiming, Chen Qing is the most powerful one.

Compared to needing others' support, others actually need his support more!
But in this situation, Luo Zongping still gave him three signal cigarette lists.

This behavior and this amount are not so much for him as for the other three family members in his family.

Chen Yang, Chen Zhengzhong and Yang Ying are all ordinary people.

If they really encounter danger and he is not around, or is temporarily entangled by the enemy, then these three signal smoke bombs will be the hope of the three people!

After knowing his identity, Luo Zongping never mentioned it.

But now, these three signal cigarette lists are silently given.

I have to say, this kind of behavior of not saying anything but just giving silently does win people's favor.

No wonder women love this.

In fact, men also eat it, but basically no one will use this trick on men.

Of course, it would only be useful if it was used on someone like him who could think of this level. Otherwise, if it was used on those with dull brains, it would be like flirting with a blind man.

This also proves one thing, that is, Luo Zongping knew about his family's affairs, but chose a completely different way to deal with it.

While these thoughts flashed through his mind, Chen Qing responded to Luo Zongping's words with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Luo."

This meant that he accepted Luo Zongping's kindness.

In response, Luo Zongping just smiled and said nothing more.

Both of them stopped at the right time.

After that, Luo Zongping's conversation content turned into daily chat, and he no longer made any implicit mentions or hints at anything.

Naturally, Chen Qing would not bring it up on his own initiative, so the two sides just chatted along the way.

When the rickshaw arrived in Sanlin District, Chen Qing stopped the car.

"That's it for now, we'll meet again in two days."

After Chen Qing got off the rickshaw, Luo Zongping said something with a smile, and after Chen Qing responded, he asked the rickshaw driver to continue going towards the direction of Sanyang District.

Chen Qing stood at the intersection, watching Luo Zongping leave with a smile on his face. Only after the rickshaw he was riding in turned into a small dot did Chen Qing's expression slowly turn into a frown.

He hailed a rickshaw again, and then asked the rickshaw to take him to the car rental company in Sanlin District.

Then he took a taxi and headed straight for the Gangqiao area.

More than an hour later.

When it was about two in the afternoon, almost three o'clock.

Gangqiao District, at the gate of the red brick building where the “Yun” organization is located.

After getting off the bus in the central area, Chen Qing walked here.

Then, before he could get close to the door and knock on it, the door opened by itself with a click. Xiao Wu looked at him from behind the door and waved hurriedly, "Mr. Zuo, you're finally here! Come in quickly, Mr. Fei has something urgent to talk to you about!"

Seeing this, Chen Qing raised his eyebrows, quickened his pace without saying a word, and walked into the stronghold.

As he walked into the base, with his keen hearing enhanced by his current [God] value of 8.3, he heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from the third floor.

He still didn't say anything and went up the stairs to the second floor, where he just happened to meet Fei Dongtao, who was walking quickly down from the third floor with a brown file bag in his hand.

Seeing him, Fei Dongtao said seriously: "Come into my office quickly, there is something urgent! It's about your urgent matter!"

Chen Qing was stunned when he heard this. About his urgent matter?

This really made him curious.

He quickened his pace and walked into Fei Dongtao's office on the second floor first.

Just as he walked in, Fei Dongtao also walked in.

Then, without waiting for him to walk to the sofa in the middle of the office and sit down as usual, Fei Dongtao said in a deep voice: "Someone paid a lot of money to hire an ace killer to kill you!"

"who!"

Hearing Fei Dongtao's words, Chen Qing turned around instantly and looked at him, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp: "Axe Gang?"

Fei Dongtao was stunned when he heard this, and asked in surprise: "You know?"

Chen Qing's sharp eyes slowly faded, and he sneered, "Among the people I've offended recently, only the Axe Gang would do such a thing."

The Central Government and Ryuying are both countries. The Central Government's attitude towards him is still mainly cooperation. As for Ryuying, it is temporarily restricted by the fact that it is not its home court and cannot find his people.

The only non-state force that could afford to pay a huge sum of money to hire an ace killer to kill him was the Axe Gang.

Otherwise, for martial artists like He Hou and Li Hua, although there are grudges between the two sides, the hatred is not so great that they would need to find an ace killer to kill him.

To take a step back, even if there are narrow-minded people among them, and the hatred is really that great, it is not that Chen Qing looks down on these martial artists, but these martial artists probably cannot afford the money to hire an ace killer all at once.

So, it can only be the Axe Gang!

"Since you know who did it, I won't be breaking the rules."

Seeing that Chen Qing was so sure that it was the Axe Gang who did it, Fei Dongtao immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Qing glanced at him and asked coldly, "How much did the Axe Gang spend? Which ace killer took this mission?"

Fei Dongtao waved his hands and said, "Don't get me wrong. We at 'Yun' didn't accept your mission! As for how much the Axe Gang spent...the price they offered us was five million."

"five million……"

When Chen Qing heard this number, his eyes narrowed slightly.

Then, he looked at Fei Dongtao again, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why didn't Yun accept it? Five million is a sky-high price, right? Don't say that Yun didn't accept the task because it was me. Save this kind of nonsense for when you are trying to pick up girls. I want to hear the real reason!"

Fei Dongtao, who was about to speak, suddenly had a hint of embarrassment on his face when he heard Chen Qing's last words.

He was actually about to say that.

But then, he adjusted his mood, organized his words, and replied with a dry laugh: "The real reason is that the 'God of Killing' announced more than half a year ago that he would not accept any more jobs. The 'God of Poison' has other work to do and cannot spare the time. As for us, we really didn't accept the mission because the target was you. This is absolutely true, I am not lying to you!"

"I didn't know about this at first. It was only when Brother Wei saw that the target person given by the Axe Gang was you that he told me, and then I asked Xiao Wu to find you! In order to inform you, I was even prepared to sacrifice Xiao Wu!"

At this point, Fei Dongtao said with a look of deep sorrow: "Xiao Wu has been with me for so long, and I have always treated him as my own nephew. Do you know how sad I was when I made this decision?"

"I think Xiao Wu should be the one who is sad."

Chen Qing glanced at Fei Dongtao and said calmly: "Alright, Brother Wei and your kindness, I have remembered it all, stop acting. Now tell me, who has accepted my mission!"

"okay."

Hearing that Chen Qing remembered the favor, Fei Dongtao's expression changed immediately. He put away his grief-stricken look and replied: "I heard that your mission was finally accepted by 'Feng'. They were really bold and asked for a price of 8 million! The key is that the Axe Gang also agreed! It's really a case of one daring to ask, and the other daring to give..."

Speaking of the latter, Fei Dongtao couldn't help but shook his head.

"wind?"

Chen Qing narrowed his eyes again when he heard this. He asked, "Do you have any information about Feng's ace killer?"

As he spoke, his eyes turned to the file bag in Fei Dongtao's hand.

Fei Dongtao immediately understood and picked up the file bag in his hand, smiling and replied: "Yes!"

After that, he handed the file bag to Chen Qing and said, "'Feng' has only one ace killer, his name is Cui Wenjue. He was the second chief eunuch in the palace during the late Ning Dynasty. He was a master of 'Sanhua Qibian' and was the eunuch and bodyguard of the Queen Mother. After the Ning Dynasty was destroyed, he did not leave with the Queen Mother of the Ning Dynasty, but took advantage of the chaos to blend into the people, changed his name and mingled everywhere, and finally somehow came to 'Hu Hai''s side."

"It's all in these materials, you can read it yourself, including the kung fu he is good at."

After saying that, after Chen Qing took the file bag, Fei Dongtao walked to the table next to him where a set of tea sets was placed and started making tea.

As Chen Qing took the file bag handed to him, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"The second eunuch in charge of the Ning Dynasty's palace..."

Hearing that the other party was someone from the Ning Dynasty Palace, he couldn't help but think of the prince and several palace masters he met in the city when he was in Qianyang.

While thinking this in his heart, he took the file bag and sat down in front of the sofa in the middle of the office. He opened it and looked at the information inside about the ace killer of the "Wind" organization named Cui Wenjue...

At dusk, the sun sets.

It was a rare sunny day in autumn, and it finally ended with the gradual fading of the golden sunset glow.

Just after the sun completely set and night began to fall.

Harbor Bridge Wharf.

Chen Qing came here again.

It's just different from the last time I came.

Today, Chen Qing was wearing an ordinary black shorts, and the coldness in his eyes almost overflowed!
