Martial Arts Song

Chapter 408 Awareness
In the dark night sky, a brilliant burst of fireworks is particularly eye-catching.

In the two or three districts near Sanlin District, anyone who could see the fireworks was basically stunned, and then subconsciously stopped to watch the beauty of the night sky.

However, although Chen Qing's family were also stunned after seeing the fireworks, their mood was completely different from that of the other refugees.

"Is this... the fireworks you gave us, Brother Bing?"

Chen Yang, who was originally silent, was stunned for a moment before he opened his mouth and asked.

Upon hearing this, the others all looked at Chen Qing.

These days, Chen Qing has been reminding everyone from time to time about the purpose of the fireworks flares given to them.

As everyone was paying close attention, they naturally became curious about what the fireworks flares in their hands would look like after they exploded.

Now the battle situation in "Hu Hai" is fierce, and it is night time, so normal people would not set off fireworks at this time. Therefore, the first reaction of Chen Yang and others after seeing the fireworks was naturally to think of the fireworks flares that Chen Qing sent to them.

Facing everyone's gaze, Chen Qing frowned slightly and nodded, confirming everyone's guess.

The firework that exploded just now was indeed a firework flare!

As an eyewitness to the fireworks signal, Chen Qing recognized it at a glance.

After getting his confirmation, the expressions on Chen Yang and others' faces suddenly became hesitant.

Because they remembered that Chen Qing had said that the purpose of these fireworks flares was to signal for help from the masters in the East City alliance who were able to block gunfire with their own bodies like him.

The alliance's rule is that any expert nearby who sees the signal should try to provide support as soon as possible.

Now a fireworks signal was sent out not far away. Logically, Chen Qing should rush over to provide support as soon as possible, but their current situation seemed to not allow this.

For a moment, Chen Yang and others looked at Chen Qing silently, waiting for him to make a decision - after all, Chen Qing was the only master present.

Chen Qing naturally felt the gazes and emotions of the crowd, but he did not speak for the time being. He just frowned and looked at the direction where the fireworks exploded, using his eyes and brain to quickly calculate the approximate location.

Then, he retracted his gaze, looked at Chen Yang and others, and said, "Let's keep going! There will be people over there to support us!"

After saying that, he took another step and walked quickly.

He had just roughly estimated where the fireworks signal came from, and it came from Tianxin District next to Sanlin District.

In his memory, the martial artists in Tianxin District were not from his and Luo Zongping's faction, nor were they from Pan Qiming's faction, but from a third faction, where a martial artist named Qin Feng was.

Although according to the previous alliance rules, Chen Qing was in the next area and should have gone to support after seeing the fireworks.

But now he is with the Chen family, as well as two women, Lin Manli and Jiang Ying. If he goes to provide support, what will happen to Chen Yang and others?
Especially now that Liuying has gone around and attacked to the rear of Sanlin District.

Therefore, after a brief thought, he gave up the idea of ​​going to provide support.

Tianxin District is not only next to Sanlin District, but on the other side is Tutang District. Tutang has Xin Guiqing. If that doesn't work, Sanyang District, one district over, has the great master Luo Zongping.

The support of two people is enough.

The most important thing for him right now is to make arrangements for Chen Yang and the others before returning.

By then, he will have nothing to worry about and can go all out to provide support. This will be many times better than going over to provide support now while having to distract himself and consider the situation of Chen Yang and the others!
With this thought in mind, Chen Qing walked more firmly.

Seeing this, Chen Yang and others looked at each other, but in the end said nothing and followed Chen Qing.

No matter what decision is made, it is Chen Qing's choice, and they just need to support it.

Soon, led by Chen Qing, everyone walked out of Zhaole Road and came to Jiulong Avenue along the river in Sanlin District.

Afterwards, Chen Qing was seen walking on the road on the river side of Kowloon Avenue. While walking along the road, his eyes kept looking at the "Red River" below.

Since I have decided to row the boat myself and do not plan to go ashore from the concession, there is no need to go to the ferry in Sanyang District.

Chen Qing went directly to the river bank on the Sanlin District side, looking for ferries and fishing boats, which were usually much more expensive than the ferry at Sanyang District and were relatively fewer in number.

In the pitch-black night, Chen Qing and his group were seen walking on the edge of Kowloon Avenue, going against the crowd.

Without the illumination of street lamps, the road became pitch black, with only the moon above providing some light so that people would not be completely in the dark.

Relying on his almost "supernatural" eyesight, Chen Qing searched in the moonlight, and soon he found an old, abandoned boat on the riverside in Sanlin District.

After finding the ship, he quickly scanned the location of the ship and the fastest way down nearby.

After confirming it, he turned around and said to Chen Yang and others who were following him: "We found the boat, follow me."

After that, he took the lead and walked to the front to lead the way.

Chen Yang and others naturally hurried to follow.

Seven or eight minutes later.

Everyone went down to the river bank and came to the abandoned boat because of its old age.

“It smells so fishy…”

Arriving in front of the boat, Chen Yang pinched his nose and said something in a low voice.

Chen Qing naturally smelled it as well and realized that the boat in front of him was just a fishing boat.

But now I can’t control that much.

After checking and confirming that the boat was still usable and had no leaks, he said, "You guys go aboard first, I'll untie the ropes and get on board."

After hearing this, Chen Zhengzhong, Chen Yang and others did not say anything and silently boarded the boat one after another.

After they got on the boat, Chen Qing directly circulated the "true energy" in his body and slashed at the boat rope with his hand, thus cutting the rope.

Then he pushed the boat to let it drift into the "Red River", then jumped onto the boat, came to the stern, and began to row the boat with the oars fixed at the stern.

Based on his memories of boating over the past six months, and his control over his body with a [God] value close to "divine transformation", he was able to master the boating technique after holding on for a while.

Afterwards, he used the oars to control the boat, drifting all the way from the "Hongjiang" in Sanlin District to the direction of Jiabei District.

Because all the lights in the central area of ​​the city were turned off, the "Hongjiang" was also pitch black.

Fortunately, Chen Qing had eyesight that was close to "superb". With the help of the moonlight above his head, although he couldn't see the river surface as clearly as in the daytime, he could still see the general idea.

More than twenty minutes later.

The fishing boat carrying Chen Qing, Chen Yang and others successfully arrived at the edge of the river bank in Jiabei District.

However, it is difficult to find a ferry where boats can moor on the river bank in Jiabei District.

It was not until then that Chen Qing understood why people coming from East City to West City had to disembark at the "Hongjiang" ferry on the concession side.

Of course, this is not a problem for Chen Qing.

Chen Qing found a staircase leading down to the river in Jiabei District. After paddling the boat closer, he came to the bow, grabbed the rope and jumped up, directly onto the stairs not far away.

Then, he pulled the rope with pure physical strength and pulled the boat to the shore!

"Get off the boat quickly!" After pulling the fishing boat to the shore, Chen Qing said to Chen Yang and others on the boat.

Chen Yang and others were once again amazed at Chen Qing's strength, and they obediently got off the boat one after another.

After everyone got off the boat, Chen Qing let go and let the fishing boat drift along the river.

Then, without stopping for a moment, he took Chen Yang and others all the way to "Yongyuan Road" in Jiabei District.

Along the way, it was still pitch black and there was no light.

However, unlike Dongcheng, there were no refugees fleeing in Jiabei District. It was just that the doors of every household were closed and the streets were empty, with no one on the street.

Of course, with Chen Qing's hearing, when he passed by, he actually heard a lot of breathing sounds and whispers hidden in these houses, proving that there was no one in the Jiabei District, but that everyone was hiding in their homes.

Chen Qing was not in the mood to care about these things, and continued to move forward with Chen Yang and others.

About ten minutes later, they finally arrived at "Yongyuan Road".

When walking into "Yongyuan Road", Chen Qing was surprised to find that although all the lights were off, there were obvious people moving around in the garden houses on both sides of the street.

As soon as they walked into the street, people in the garden houses immediately noticed them and cast their eyes over.

Chen Qing had been here many times. With the dim light of the moon above his head, he looked at the people in the garden houses and found that these people were the bodyguards who used to be here.

Although "Hu Hai" encountered a war and was bombed during the day, there were still bodyguards in the garden house on "Yongyuan Road".

And it is not known whether it was because "Yongyuan Road" was relatively close to the concession, Ryuying's planes were afraid of not being able to grasp the scale of the bombing, so "Yongyuan Road" was not bombed!
"Master, why do I feel like someone is watching us..."

Soon after they walked into Yongyuan Road, Jiang Ying, who had been silent, spoke in a low voice somewhat uncomfortably.

Chen Qing heard this, glanced at her, and replied: "Your feeling is correct, but don't worry about it, just follow me."

As he spoke, he continued walking towards Liu Yilin's garden house.

After hearing this, Jiang Ying didn't say anything else and continued to follow silently.

However, Chen Yang and others looked at Jiang Ying in surprise, because they did not notice that anyone was watching them - the bodyguards in the surrounding garden houses were all hiding in the dark.

Fortunately, the bodyguards in the surrounding garden houses were only observing them secretly, and when they saw that they were not coming towards them, they did not take any action.

Soon, Chen Qing brought Chen Yang and others to the gate of Liu Yilin's garden house.

Instantly, the bodyguard inside shouted: "Don't move! Who are you?"

As the words were spoken, a large number of bodyguards hiding in the dark rushed out, some of them holding guns with both hands and aiming outside.

But almost at the same time as these bodyguards shouted, Chen Qing also said lightly: "It's me."

The bodyguard inside was stunned.

Before they could react, the door of the garden house opened with a bang.

Then, a figure rushed out from the crowd, and shouted as he ran over: "Brother Bing!"

Under the dim light of the moon.

In the eyes of others, the figure was black, but in Chen Qing's eyes, the figure who ran out was none other than Xuanfeng who came to Zhaole Road and left with Jueying early this morning!
When the other bodyguards heard Xuanfeng's shout, they immediately realized that the other party was an acquaintance.

Some of the bodyguards gradually recalled Chen Qing's voice, but half a month had passed and they were not sure, so someone tentatively called out, "Brother Qing?"

"Ah."

Chen Qing responded softly.

Hearing Chen Qing's agreement, the bodyguards immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to the others: "Disperse, disperse, it's Brother Qing!"

As he spoke, a bodyguard opened the door.

Seeing this, Chen Qing turned around and said to Chen Yang and others, "Let's go in."

Then he took the lead and walked in.

Although Chen Yang and others were very curious about how Chen Qing knew people who lived in such a place, they also understood that now was not the time to ask these questions, so they followed him in without saying a word.

At this time, Xuanfeng also ran over.

Chen Qing looked at him, frowned and asked, "Why are you here? Where is Jueying? What happened during your negotiation?"

The outbreak of war did not surprise Chen Qing.

He was just curious about what happened during the negotiations between Xuanfeng and the others, and why Xuanfeng was at Liu Yilin's house.

"This...it's a long story!"

Xuan Feng didn't know how to answer Chen Qing's three questions. After a bitter smile, he said, "Let's go in first. I'll tell you in detail after we get in."

After hearing this, Chen Qing thought for a moment and nodded.

Afterwards, Xuanfeng and Chen Qing walked in front, and Chen Yang and others walked behind, and they walked towards Liu Yilin's garden house together.

After a while, everyone walked into the villa.

The house was also dark and silent, with no one in it.

However, when the door of the villa was closed, Xuan Feng skillfully picked up a few candles from the shoe cabinet at the door, lit them and distributed them to Chen Yang and others, while sighing and saying, "This is what happened..."

He first recounted what happened after they went to negotiate.

As he spoke, he and Chen Qing led Chen Yang and others towards the room where the underground entrance was.

Then, under the astonished gaze of Chen Yang and others, the underground entrance was opened.

Then, the two of them walked down first, and Chen Yang and others followed.

When they were halfway down the underground stairs, Xuanfeng finished telling what happened after he went to the negotiations.

Then, he continued, "...After a peerless master from Liuying split the fierce wind, my senior sister rescued me to the shore, and then we returned all the way to Xiaoyiyi's home. My senior sister asked me to stay here to recover while she went to report the situation. As for Jueying, my senior sister said that he is a great master and should not die."

"I see……"

After listening to Xuanfeng's story, Chen Qing suddenly understood.

His previous guess was basically correct, but due to the lack of information, he didn't know that a peerless master had also come from Liuying!
Deducing based on this information, he finally understood why Ryuying was able to land.

It is estimated that the two peerless masters went to the side to fight, so Liuying had the opportunity to send soldiers to land on "Huhai".

But when he thought of this, his brows suddenly frowned again.

The representatives of Liege, Lika and Lancia actually stood with Ryuying. Logically speaking, this should not be the case!
But this is what happened.

This immediately made Chen Qing feel that there might be other unknown factors involved!
what is it then?
