Martial Arts Song

Chapter 402 Hypocrisy
However, although the three of them heard the three people from Western Land in front of them and General Liuying talking about dividing the "Hu Sea".

But the three heads of the first, third and fourth military control departments who were accompanying them did not hear it.

As the three of them were masters of "divine transformation", they could barely hear after getting close to a certain distance. As for the three directors of the Military Control Commission who accompanied them, Xuanfeng had asked Qi Yi when they came whether the three of them were masters, and the answer they got was "no".

After all, masters are extremely rare, and someone who happens to be a master and has the ability to serve as the director of the Military Control Commission is even rarer!

The Military Unification Department is the department responsible for military intelligence work, while the Military Unification Department's Third Department is responsible for espionage operations.

As for the Fourth Department of the Military Control Commission, it is responsible for communications.

The central government's decision to send the directors of these three departments to handle this incident was naturally a well-considered one.

When negotiating with Ryuo, you naturally cannot send a small character, otherwise it would seem disrespectful.

However, it is also impossible to directly send the director of the Military Intelligence Bureau, because the director needs to command the entire Military Intelligence Bureau's actions from a big picture perspective. Moreover, the director holds almost all the confidential intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau's "Hu Hai" station. If the intelligence falls into the hands of the enemy, the consequences will be very serious.

But we can send someone of the next level. This negotiation involves whether the two countries will go to war. It is not enough to have status. We must also have the corresponding negotiation skills and the ability to transmit intelligence in a timely manner.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, we finally came up with the formation for this time.

The fact that three directors of the Military Control Commission came to negotiate shows that they take the matter very seriously.

Each of these three people has his own strengths. Yan Lingyue, director of the first department, is responsible for concisely organizing the intelligence content of the negotiations; Liao Leiyun, director of the third department, is responsible for effective command when necessary; and Xiang Hongtao, director of the fourth department, is responsible for delivering the intelligence in a timely manner.

This negotiation is a test of on-the-spot reaction, so the central government can be said to have sent out veterans.

With such talent, it is naturally impossible to practice Kung Fu to the point of transformation. After all, human energy is limited.

"Those Western Land whites have colluded with Liuying. I'm afraid this negotiation will not have a good result. We must be prepared to retreat at any time."

A burst of white mist suddenly came out of Jueying's mouth, and then was blown towards Xuanfeng and Qi Yi beside him by the sea breeze. It looked like the mist exhaled when the weather was cold was blown away by the wind.

But in Xuanfeng and Qi Yi's ears, his voice could be heard.

This is the combination of the ability to "practice qi" and the control of "practice spirit", which was also called "transmitting sound into secret" in ancient times.

"Well, I'll find a chance to tell them later. You guys should think of a retreat route first."

Qi Yi slowed down her steps a few steps, then also exhaled a puff of white mist, letting the sea breeze blow towards Xuanfeng and Jueying.

The "secret sound transmission" is actually not concealed. There will be a white mist-like "true qi" exhaled, but now it is late autumn, the weather is cold, and the sea breeze will disperse the qi, which can just be used to conceal it.

Xuanfeng listened to the two people's secret conversation with an expressionless face and pretended nothing had happened.

He actually wanted to say something, but he had not yet achieved the "Qigong" transformation, so he could only listen obediently.

"Why are you stopping? Go!"

When Qi Yi stopped and took a few steps back, a nearby Ryuying soldier immediately shouted at her.

As everyone followed the leading Ryuo officer, they were also surrounded by a large number of Ryuo soldiers pointing weapons at them.

"The wind was a bit strong just now, and the dust blew into my eyes."

Qi Yi, who was scolded, frowned slightly and pretended that her eyes were blinded by dust. She raised her hand to rub them, and then did as she was told and started walking again.

Moreover, she took advantage of the opportunity of falling behind and quickly walked forward a distance, coming to the side of the three Military Control Commission directors, Yan Lingyue, Liao Leiyun, and Xiang Hongtao, and then exhaled a puff of white mist.

The moment the white mist was exhaled, it was blown by the sea breeze towards the three directors of the Military Control Commission.

The three directors of the Military Control Commission are indeed veterans.

After hearing Qi Yi's "secret voice transmission", the expressions on the three people's faces did not change at all, and they did not stop walking at all, as if they had not heard anything.

After explaining the situation to the three Military Control Commission directors, Qi Yi said nothing more and silently followed the Ryuying officer in front of her.

Soon, the Ryuying officer in front brought their group of seven to the three Western Land people and General Ryuying.

After they approached, the three people from Western Land no longer mentioned the matter of dividing the "Hu Sea", but changed the subject and chatted about other trivial matters.

However, the Ryuying General with a katana on his waist did not restrain himself at all and continued talking.

"…Three of you, it's settled then."

After openly saying the words of collusion, General Liuying slowly turned around and looked at Xuanfeng, Qi Yi, Jueying and others with unscrupulous eyes.

"Let's stop talking nonsense. Who is the murderer who killed Mr. Kamiizumi? Stand out!"

This Ryuying General suddenly snorted coldly and shouted loudly.

At the same time, his eyes quickly glanced back and forth among the seven people who came.

"General, we have said before that there is something fishy about the death of your Sword Master. After our investigation for some time, we have now found out the truth. Please let us tell you the truth."

Among the three directors of the Military Control Commission who were walking in front, Yan Lingyue, the director of the First Department, met the other party's wandering glances and spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the three white middle-aged men from the Western Continent and said in the Western Continent dialect, "You three should be the representatives sent by the Liege Empire, the Lika Empire, and the Lanxi Empire to referee this incident, right? What are your names?"

Although he had received Qi Yi's message, Yan Lingyue, the director of the First Department, still followed the procedure.

After hearing Yan Lingyue speak in the Western Land dialect, the three white middle-aged men from Western Land turned their eyes to him.

"You speak the Xilu dialect very well."

One of the middle-aged white men smiled and said in Chinese: "But you can just speak Chinese to us. My name is Jon, Jon Houston. I am the representative of the Lika Empire."

After he introduced himself, the other two white men from the Westland were also ready to introduce themselves.

But at this moment——

"Humph! It seems like you have no intention of giving an explanation to us Ryuu."

General Liuying quickly glanced at Xuanfeng, Jueying and seven others, and suddenly snorted coldly.

At the same time, he stood up from the chair with a "whoosh".

Then he raised his hand and grasped the sword at his waist, ready to draw it out, but Jon Houston spoke up to stop him.

"General Xiangjing, please be patient and let our friend from Central Country finish his words."

Jon picked up the exquisite teacup on the table in front of him, took a sip of the tea in it, and said lightly.

General Ryuying, also known as "General Mukai", frowned when he heard this, but stopped drawing his sword.

Then, General Mukai turned his head and looked at Jon Houston, staring at him for a while with his eyes slightly narrowed.

But Jon Houston still drank his tea calmly.

Seeing this, one of the other two white men from the Westland smiled and said, "Yes, you both have something to say about this matter. If you disagree with each other, then use evidence to speak for yourself."

"Yes, that's why we are here." The third white man with brown curly hair and light blue eyes also chuckled and echoed.

Despite being in collusion, the three still acted fair and just.

Xuan Feng, who saw this scene, couldn't help but think of a word that Chen Qing had said: hypocrisy!

However, he did not show it, but quietly observed the situation and environment around him.

Yan Lingyue, the person in charge of this incident, also looked grateful for being treated fairly. He nodded slightly to Jon Houston, then looked at General Mukai and said, "The death of your country's Uezumi Shizuka has nothing to do with our Central Country..."

He began to narrate the investigation process word by word, and then deduced the truth from the process.

As the director of a department in charge of intelligence work, he naturally knew about the series of investigations conducted by Qi Yi and Xuan Feng in recent days, especially that this incident involved a war between the two countries!
It can be said that from a global perspective, he actually understands the entire investigation process better than Qi Yi and Xuan Feng who conducted the investigation personally!

Because Qi Yi and Xuan Feng often conducted investigations separately, and in addition to the two of them, the Military Control Commission also had other spies and personnel conducting investigations in other directions.

Qi Yi and Xuan Feng were unaware of these other investigations.

Although the two people's investigation direction is correct, investigations in other directions will also have many details that can directly or indirectly support the investigation results of Qi Yi and Xuan Feng.

After Yan Lingyue sorted out this information, it immediately flowed into a straight line, deducing the complete truth of Kamiizumi Shizue's death from all aspects.

After hearing the truth told by Yan Lingyue, the Ryuying soldiers around who were aiming their weapons at Xuanfeng and the others looked at each other in surprise.

Being at the bottom of society, they naturally don’t know the truth.

No matter which country the grassroots people are in, the information they receive is basically controlled by the state. It is not absolutely one-sided, but it basically has a very obvious subjective bias.

Therefore, after hearing another version of the truth from the official personnel of the Central State, these Ryuying soldiers were inevitably stunned.

Of course, they would not easily believe it, after all, it was said by the enemy.

"You mean, we killed our own country's sword master and then put the blame on you?"

General Xiang Jing said coldly after listening to Yan Lingyue's story.

"We have witnesses."

Yan Lingyue, the director of the First Department, smiled slightly, then looked at Xuanfeng, Qi Yi, Jueying, and the driver of the Liuying Consulate who was escorted all the way here.

However, the driver was knocked unconscious by Qi Yi when he was climbing the stairs to get on board. After getting on board, it was Qi Yi who held his arm and carried him over.

During this process, the driver of the Ryusakura Consulate kept his head down.

After noticing Yan Lingyue's gaze looking at her, Qi Yi immediately raised her other hand and pressed on the philtrum of the driver who had his head lowered.

The next second, the driver woke up with a hiss and slowly raised his head.

"This is the driver of your Ryuo Consulate. He was driving Harada Keita, Kamiizumi Shizue, and Takasugi Naoto, several of your Ryuo people, around the time the incident happened. He basically heard everything that they were conspiring about."

Yan Lingyue said with a smile.

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, Qi Yi immediately shouted at the driver next to him: "Tell me everything you know!"

Upon hearing this, the driver immediately started to tell everything he knew in broken Chinese with a strong Ryusakura accent:
"...Naoto-kun said that he was grateful to Mr. Kamiizumi for unsealing him... I drove Naoto-kun to the riverside of the concession... I drove Mr. Kamiizumi, Mr. Tengchuan, and Mr. Harada to the riverside where Naoto-kun disappeared..."

"...That night I took Mr. Shangquan to Wusong Ferry, and he took a boat to Chongyue Island alone...It was around ten o'clock in the evening when we came back...There was blood on his body and on the knife..."

"… Mr. Harada told me to drive Naoto-kun and Kamiizumi-san during this time…"

In fact, the driver didn't know much, at least he didn't know the purpose of Ryuying's plan.

He just talked about what he heard, saw, and where he went when he was a driver.

But every word of these contents corroborates what Yan Lingyue just said.

As the driver continued to speak, the surrounding Ryuo soldiers gradually began to show confusion on their faces.

It seems... everything is right...

General Mukai on the opposite side looked colder the more he listened to the driver's story.

suddenly!

"Qiang!"

The sound of a sharp weapon being unsheathed was suddenly heard.

General Mukai drew his sword without warning and slashed from bottom to top at the driver who was speaking!

"call out!"

A sharp sword energy suddenly slashed out, fast and quick!
"puff!"

The driver, who kept talking, was instantly split in half and fell to both sides.

"what are you doing!"

Yan Lingyue shouted, "You are trying to silence people and destroy evidence!"

Although Ryuying's General Mukai's sword strike had already revealed his identity as a powerful man, Yan Lingyue was not afraid at all.

After he finished speaking, he looked at Jon Houston behind the exquisite tea table and continued, "Mr. Jon, Liuyingfang is destroying the evidence!"

However, Jon Houston continued to drink his tea with a calm expression.

He finally stopped acting.

"Ah."

A sneer came from General Mukai's mouth.

Then, he raised his sword and pointed it at the sky, and ordered the soldiers around him: "The Central Country people are trying to assassinate this general in the name of negotiation. Everyone listen up, fire at the Central Country warships ahead! In addition, send a telegram to the other warships and the headquarters to launch a full-scale general attack!"

Almost at the moment he swung his sword and announced the order to launch a full-scale general attack.

Among Xuanfeng, Jueying, Qi Yi and others who were surrounded by a group of Liuying soldiers, Liao Leiyun, the director of the third department, who was standing with Yan Lingyue, the director of the first department, suddenly shouted: "Get down! Run!"

Along with the shout, something like a button suddenly fell out from the right sleeve of his uniform. At the same time, his left hand grabbed the front pocket of his uniform and pulled it!
"Tattoo!"

There was a rapid sound of buttons being unbuttoned, and a square piece of cloth was thrown by him to the Ryuuakusei soldier next to him.

The next moment, he pressed the button in his right hand.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

A series of explosions erupted from Liao Leiyun's body and the piece of cloth that was thrown out.
