Martial Arts Song

Chapter 425 Reason
"What conditions?"

When Wang Baichuan heard Chen Qing's words, he asked with a smile in his tone.

As long as the new rice technology is handed over to the central government, then the conditions are actually not a problem.

Of course, being able to meet the conditions is not a problem, and it mainly has a lot to do with Chen Qing’s strength.

Although Wang Baichuan is the director of the "Hu Hai" Dayang Martial Arts Hall and has relatively close ties with the central government, he is not an organization like the Central Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency that control political and military power.

He could talk to both the Central Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency, but the decision on how to do things was still in the hands of each side.

If Chen Qing was just an ordinary "Jingbian" master, it would be many times more difficult to negotiate with the Central Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency using the new rice technology than it is now!
Because there are many experts within the Central Intelligence Agency and the Military Intelligence Agency, and there is no shortage of means to deal with ordinary experts. The most important thing is that some people in high positions, after holding power for a long time, will inevitably be corrupted by power, and will not tolerate those below them looking at them in the same eye.

But the situation is different now.

Chen Qing has broken through to the realm of a great master with "Three Huas transformed simultaneously", and has also achieved "Three Huas in perfect harmony", a talent that is unparalleled in the world.

If such a being really wanted to kill someone, apart from the two true peerless masters Cang Lichuan and Juechen, even Wang Baichuan, a quasi-peerless master with the same "Three Huas Harmony", would find it difficult to stop him.

After all, he can't be by someone's side all the time to protect him/her. He also has his own things and life.

Those people in the central government who have been corrupted by power and lost their minds are still very rational when it comes to life and death.

Therefore, when Chen Qing negotiates with the central government officials with his current strength, there will be basically no foolish people who will jump out to stop him.

However, Chen Qing did not make any excessive demands, only some conditions regarding money and freedom and privileges.

With Chen Yang's personality, he would be willing to do anything even if he was asked to give the new rice technology to the central government for nothing, or even to work day and night like a worker to develop the new rice technology so that the technology could mature and be put into production as soon as possible.

Everyone in the Chen family, whether it is Chen Zhengzhong or Chen Yang, loves the Central Kingdom very much.

But Chen Qing couldn't do it.

He has no sense of belonging to this world, so he doesn't mind being the bad guy and using Chen Yang's new rice technology to fight for the benefits that the Chen family deserves.

About ten minutes later.

Chen Qing finished explaining the conditions for handing over the new rice technology to the central government officials.

After hearing this, Wang Baichuan nodded slightly and said, "Your conditions are all very reasonable. I will convey them to the Central and Military Control Commissions for you. However, it may take some time to implement them. You know the current situation of Hu Hai. Moreover, if Hu Hai is not defended, what we are talking about now is just empty talk."

At the end of his words, he hinted at Chen Qing. His purpose was naturally to hope that Chen Qing, who was "the harmony of three cultures", could help.

But after hearing this, Chen Qing did not promise anything, but just nodded.

If he could defend "Hu Hai" by taking action, he would actually take action even if Wang Baichuan didn't say it, because this is a very good opportunity to gain a foothold in "Hu Hai" and control a certain degree of voice.

But if Liuying's attack is really too crazy, even if he takes action, it will be difficult to defend "Huhai". In that case, when there is no way out, he will definitely not defend it to the death, but will take the Chen family away from "Huhai" and even leave Yanguo.

What Wang Baichuan said was correct. He did have his own yardstick in his heart, but it was based on himself and the Chen family, and Yang State was not included.

Seeing that Chen Qing remained silent, Wang Baichuan did not continue to hint at anything, and stopped there.

After discussing the main matter of inviting Chen Qing up, he smiled faintly and said, "Okay, I've finished what I wanted to tell you. If you want to sit here, you can sit for a while. If you don't want to sit, you can go back and continue to accompany your family. I may have a lot of things to do next, so let's talk again when we have time."

After saying that, he turned and walked towards the desk at the back.

But before he took a few steps, Chen Qing suddenly said, "There is something I really want to ask."

Hearing this, Wang Baichuan stopped and turned around, looking at Chen Qing again, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?"

After hearing this, Chen Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "I really want to know why Master Cang didn't come to Hu Hai to reinforce. If he came to reinforce, the problem of Hu Hai should not be difficult to solve, right?"

He had already learned from Xuanfeng that Juechen was currently in the depths of the East China Sea, fighting with the peerless masters of the Liuying faction.

And from Xuanfeng's description, he also had some understanding of the power of the peerless master.

Once it is launched, it will be able to cause a tsunami and even destroy warships!

Although due to the limitations of their essence, energy and spirit, the peerless masters cannot always use moves that are powerful enough to cause tsunamis and destroy warships, and they cannot resist an entire country's army on their own.

But in terms of the power that a peerless master can exert, it is no less than a flexible and powerful weapon of war.

If there were two peerless masters cooperating, then Liuying's invasion of "Hu Hai" could basically be easily solved.

Therefore, Chen Qing was very curious as to why Master Cang from "Pingdu" would not refuse to come to "Hu Hai" for reinforcement.

After all, all the comments he had heard about Master Cang over such a long time seemed to be quite good.

On the contrary, the temper of Juechen, the "Southern Jue", is rather badly rumored.

With such a good reputation, there is no reason for Master Cang to ignore "Hu Hai".

As for the granddaughter being seriously ill, for the peerless master, it was more of an excuse.

"..."

Wang Baichuan obviously didn't expect Chen Qing to ask this question, so he was silent for a while.

Then, he looked at Chen Qing and said in a deep voice: "Because Master Cang needs to stay in Pingdu to protect the northern border!"

"Sitting in Pingdu and guarding the northern border?"

Chen Qing frowned when he heard this and said, "Although there have been rumors in the north that Liuying is ready to make a move outside the border, most of Liuying's military forces are now in the south, right? If Liuying had the military forces to attack Hu Hai in the north, they wouldn't have to wait until now to take action, right?"

The reason of protecting the North is much more important and legitimate than her granddaughter's illness.

But it seems that it is not enough.

With the level of weapon development in this world, although not all the troops were mobilized in this war launched by Liuying, most of the military forces were mobilized, aiming to completely occupy "Huhai" and even destroy the Central Kingdom in the end!
Although Chen Qing had no sense of belonging to the Central Kingdom, he knew that when a country's rise and fall came, one should not only care about the safety of one side, but also consider the overall situation.

If "Hu Hai" fell, then Liuying's army would certainly use "Hu Hai" as a base to launch a full-scale attack on other parts of the Central Kingdom, eroding the entire Central Kingdom bit by bit.

That Master Cang should not be unable to see this. And if Liuying in the north also had military strength like the one that attacked "Hu Hai", then Liuying's military strength would far exceed that of the Central Country, and they would have invaded the Central Country long ago, and would not have had to wait until now.

Just when Chen Qing was thinking this, Wang Baichuan seemed to see what Chen Qing was thinking. He sighed and said, "Brother Chen Qing, you were not standing high enough before, so you couldn't see the overall situation. The north of our Central Country is mostly bitter and cold, and the regime there is not as stable as our southern side. Many provinces and cities in the north are controlled by local legions. These legions are loyal to the Central Country on the surface, but in fact they are separatist and only follow orders but not declarations."

"Our Central Country has only been established for 24 years, and the internal situation is not stable enough, so we allow the legions in the North to do this and maintain superficial peace."

"But this time, things are not as simple as they seem. You are in Hu Hai and can only see what is happening in Hu Hai, but Master Cang and the leaders of our Central Country can see the whole situation. Liu Ying's attack this time is not as simple as it seems. According to the investigation of Pingdu, Liu Ying has been constantly provoking our Hu Hai and has also been secretly sending people to the North to meet with various armies in the North."

"Through investigation, Pingdu discovered that the high-ranking officers of the legions that Liuying sent to meet were mostly descendants of the Ning Dynasty royal family who fled from Pingdu to the Northern Territory when the Ning Dynasty fell. And it is said that the last emperor of the Ning Dynasty now has close contacts with Liuying. In this case, do you think that the Northern Territory needs Master Cang to be in charge?"

At the end, Wang Baichuan asked Chen Qing back.

After listening to Wang Baichuan's story, Chen Qing suddenly showed a look of enlightenment on his face.

If it is true as Wang Baichuan said, then it seems to make sense.

The legions in the north are independent and only obey orders but not announcements. Some of the high-ranking officers of these legions are members of the royal family from the Ning Dynasty.

The last emperor before the fall of the Ning Dynasty had close ties with Liuying. At this critical moment, Liuying is secretly sending people to meet with these legions...

This is an attempt to cut off the source of the problem and directly incite some of the legions in the north to rebel!

Most of the remnants of the imperial era must have dreamed of becoming royal relatives again.

If the last emperor of the Ning Dynasty raised his arm in the north, and with the support of Liuying, he tempted these people to help them restore their country, it would be possible for him to incite the northern legions to rebel and cause chaos in the north!
By then, in the northern border, Liuying really doesn't need a lot of strong troops. It can directly attack from the north and the south, and make the entire Central Kingdom fall into the war!
Thinking of this, Chen Qing finally understood why Master Cang did not come to "Hu Hai" for reinforcement.

"As expected, we still need enough information to understand the entire situation..."

Chen Qing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He was standing too low before and didn't know the specific situation in the North, so he couldn't see the situation clearly.

After Wang Baichuan's explanation, he immediately understood that Master Cang from "Pingdu" would probably not come to reinforce no matter how severe the war in "Hu Hai" became.

"Hu Hai" really has to rely on himself.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing replied with a look of sudden realization: "So that's how it is. Thank you Director Wang for clearing up my confusion. I misunderstood Master Cang."

"It doesn't matter."

Wang Baichuan waved his hand and said, "Master Cang is very magnanimous. Even if he knew, he wouldn't say anything. If he saw you, he would probably cherish your talent and give you some advice. But it's a pity that he can't come to Hu Hai in the short term..."

At the end, he couldn't help but shook his head.

Chen Qing didn't know what to say after hearing that, so he could only clasp his fists again and said, "Director Wang, I have something else I want to ask you!"

Originally, he just wanted to ask Master Cang why he didn't come to "Hu Hai" for reinforcement, but after seeing that Wang Baichuan knew so much detail, he understood that the other party should also be someone who stands at a very high level and can see the overall situation.

So he wanted to ask another question.

"Brother Chen Qing, you don't have to be polite. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

After hearing this, Wang Baichuan chuckled again and said.

Chen Qing didn't keep the question secret and asked directly, "Director Wang, I would like to ask if you know Emmanuel, the peerless master of the Western Continent?"

That was the question he wanted to ask.

From the words of Song Hongtao and others, as well as Wang Baichuan himself, he realized that Wang Baichuan was also a master who had achieved "the perfect integration of the Three Huas" and was on his way to reaching the peerless realm.

This kind of person was at a level he had never come across before.

Moreover, the other party is the owner of Dayang Martial Arts Hall in "Hu Hai" and should know a lot of secrets.

Therefore, he wanted to ask whether the other party knew the information of the young man from Western Land.

Regardless of what the young man from Xilu did, just driving Cui Wenjue to find Chen Yang and others was something he made a note of!
Unfortunately, the opponent's "eye-catching trick" was so powerful that even he could only rely on the ability of his left eye to distinguish whether he was hit by the "eye-catching trick", and he had no way of seeing through the rest.

For such an existence, he must get the other party's information as soon as possible.

However, when he heard the question he asked, the smile on Wang Baichuan's face quickly disappeared, and his brows furrowed, his expression becoming serious.

"Emmanuel? Why are you asking this question all of a sudden? Have you met him?!"

Wang Baichuan asked hurriedly in a serious voice.

Seeing Wang Baichuan like this, Chen Qing immediately realized that the other party obviously knew the peerless strong man from the Western Continent named Emmanuel.

"Ah."

Chen Qing nodded and said, "Cui Wenjue went to cause trouble for my family. He was the one behind it."

After hearing this, Wang Baichuan's solemn expression suddenly became even more severe. He asked, "When did you meet him? Was it during the time when you killed Cui Wenjue and left?"

Although he was not at the scene on Yongyuan Road, he heard Song Hongtao and others talk about the situation at that time. He knew that Chen Qing left for a while after killing Cui Wenjue.

Seeing Wang Baichuan like this, Chen Qing couldn't help but frown.

When He Xihong mentioned the young man from Xilu to him, and when he told Yue Suchun about the young man from Xilu, their expressions were not as stern as Wang Baichuan's.

Wang Baichuan's identity and strength are one level higher than He Xihong and Yue Suchun, which means he knows more information.

But now, after hearing him mention the young man from Western Land named Emmanuel, the other party actually behaved like this.

In an instant, Chen Qing realized that the situation of the young man from Western Land named Emmanuel was probably much more serious than he thought!

Just as he was thinking this, Wang Baichuan spoke with an extremely serious expression.
