Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 207 Invitation from Hulong Villa

After Lu Ping's big fuss, Xijianliu finally stopped attacking the Suzaku Dynasty.

To outsiders, this was a great victory for the Southern martial arts world and a great defeat for the Japanese martial arts world.

But what no one expected was that Xijianliu had been using the tactic of "repairing the plank road in the open while marching secretly" all along, using other actions of Xijianliu's soldiers and even the Wushen Jue Palace to attract other people's attention and secretly resurrected the Flame Demon.

Ordinary martial arts forces could no longer resist the troops of the Western Sword School, nor could they defeat the Flame Demon. They were either brutally tortured or forced to flee north.

It was originally thought that Xijianliu would continue to go deeper into the Suzaku Dynasty, attack the Five Mountains and Seven Sects and other Jianghu forces, or seek revenge from Lu Ping, but unexpectedly, the Flame Demon changed his course and attacked the Fengyun Monument directly.

However, there is no news in the martial arts world that Shi Yanwen or Qiao Rulai will show up to propose a "fighting bet". What exactly does the Flame Demon want to do by attacking the Wind and Cloud Monument?
Lu Ping couldn't figure it out, so he decided to go over and take a look.

However, before he could leave, Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang, who had not seen each other for long, came to visit him. The purpose of their visit was very simple -

"Hulong Villa would like to invite you to serve as the 'Yellow Number One Secret Agent'."

The three of them sat down in the inn room.

When Lu Ping heard what the two men brought and Zhu Wushi's invitation to him, he stopped drinking tea.

"Eh? Yellow Number One? Me?"

Where is Cheng Shifei, who played this position in the original drama?
Lu Ping suddenly recalled that he had met Su Xin once before in the No. 1 Village in the World.

Since the plot has changed long ago, Cheng Shifei might not have been sent to the prison to be a eunuch by the gambling house. Without Gu Santong teaching him martial arts, he would have been just an ordinary street thug and naturally would not be noticed by the Huolong Villa.

Now that Su Xin is out, she will definitely want to find her child.

With Zhu Wushi's ability to grasp intelligence, finding someone is not a problem at all. As for how he will face the son born to his beloved and his ex-husband...

For some reason, the name "Dorgon" suddenly appeared in Lu Ping's mind.

The Suzaku Dynasty would naturally not pass down the unofficial history of the Qing Dynasty as a reference for future generations, but given Zhu Wusi's ruthlessness, he might have already killed the person before Su Xin found him.

For some reason, Lu Ping thought of Hantianque again.

It seems that people with this kind of template will not have a good ending in the end...

The brainstorming session only lasted a moment, and Lu Ping quickly calmed down and continued drinking tea as if nothing had happened.

"You have more or less heard that Hulong Villa is short of manpower, but my adoptive father has always advocated that it is better to have nothing than to have someone who is not qualified, so the No. 1 position of Huang Zi has been vacant for so many years."

Duan Tianya stared straight at Lu Ping: "But now, the most suitable person has appeared."

As the eldest of the three Tiandixuan people, and also the person who was most familiar with Lu Ping, he was naturally sent here as a lobbyist.

"Shen Hou thinks that I am the right person?"

Shangguan Haitang spread out the fan in his hand with a snap, nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Lu is both wise and brave, and he is also chivalrous and courageous. If even you are not suitable, then I really can't think of anyone else who is suitable."

No one talked about loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, because the three of them knew that such polite words were not appropriate to say at this time.

"Is it okay to make such a hasty decision? And the court...Will the emperor have any objections?"

Lu Ping remembered that Hulong Villa was ultimately controlled by the little emperor.

Given their seemingly harmonious but actually estranged attitude, no matter what decision Zhu Wushi made, the emperor would definitely oppose it; similarly, no matter what decision the emperor made, Zhu Wushi would stand up and veto it.

In the original drama, this point was reflected in the assessment of Cheng Shifei, the number one secret agent.

Of course, the young emperor would not make his attitude too obvious, but would instruct Cao Zhengchun to step out and be the questioner.

"You're worrying too much, Brother Lu."

Shangguan Haitang smiled and said, "Your abilities are witnessed by everyone in the martial arts world."

"Punish the 'Ten Evil Men', destroy the Tianxia Association, defeat the 'Golden Lion King', subdue the three hundred gangs, repel the Western Sword Clan, and destroy the Bat Island..."

"These deeds were not only seen by Hulong Villa, but also by other underworld forces in the imperial court, such as the Six Gates, the East Factory, and the Imperial Guards."

"I heard that His Majesty had no objection to my adoptive father's choice, and even agreed with it. Even Cao Yangou, who always opposed Hulong Villa in the past, chose to remain silent this time."

Calling someone a "gay dog" is really rude! !

"The person you are talking about is Cao Zhengchun, who is currently in charge of the East Factory?" Lu Ping asked.

"good."

Lu Ping felt that something was not right. Cao Zhengchun was acting on the emperor's orders. Since he didn't say anything, it was possible that the emperor also wanted to make him the number one yellow character and use him to defeat Zhu Wusi.

But what is the reason for the other party to make such a decision?
The first thing Lu Ping thought of was the "Suzaku Society" organization created and left behind by the previous emperor.

Although Dugu Yihe had promised him that he would not come to capture him again, and that his superiors would mediate in return for sparing his life, he did not say that he would not report his defeat to me. And after all, such a thing could not be concealed.

When I thought about it this way, things made sense. It must be that Dugu Yihe and Jin Jiuling reported their defeat to the emperor after they returned.

In addition to the "reputation" he had earned in the martial arts world during this period of time, the emperor came up with the idea of ​​letting him and Zhu Wusi deal with each other, so that he could reap the benefits.

You know, the emperor in the original drama instigated four spies to deal with Zhu Wusi!

If I really join the Hulong Villa, and this trend continues, the next step will be that the emperor's people will come to me and want to cooperate with me to overthrow Zhu Wusi...

Lu Ping put down his teacup and threw the thought out of his mind: "I'm really not interested in being a spy or something like that."

It’s better to have some freedom when you are in the world.

The two were not surprised to hear Lu Ping refuse on the spot.

"It's okay. We have plenty of time. My foster father said that the position of 'Yellow Number One' in Hulong Villa will always be reserved for you. Brother Lu, you can take your time to think about it and give me a reply in a few days."

Lu Ping nodded and asked, "Since you want to recruit me to be the 'No. 1 Yellow Agent', why don't you tell me about my salary?"

I don’t know how I am worth now in the eyes of these people.
"It was our negligence!"

Shangguan closed his folding fan, tapped his forehead, and then took out a small booklet from his arms and handed it to Lu Ping: "Brother Lu, please take a look, this is the welfare benefits you agreed to."

Lu Ping weighed the not-so-heavy booklet in his hand, and his eyes twitched: "You guys really got a contract?"

Shangguan Haitang smiled and said, "This is the only copy my foster father gave us before we set out!"

Opening the booklet, Lu Ping's eyes were immediately attracted by the generous conditions above -

A large mansion in the capital city, a monthly salary of 100 taels of silver, 20 servants and maids, a box of jewels and rare treasures, and 30 bolts of brocade and silk...

“It’s quite generous?!”

In addition to the stated price, there are also some "rights" benefits.

For example, when acting as a spy, he could order officials below the third rank to cooperate, and at critical moments he had the power to make decisions on his own.
For example, after becoming a spy, one can freely enter and exit all the territories within the influence of the Hulong Villa, including the Hulong Villa and the No. 1 Villa in the World, and command subordinates other than Zhu Wusi himself and the three secret agents...

Lu Ping pointed at the contents in the booklet and asked, "Do you also have these benefits?"

"All the duties and powers of the four secret agents of Tiandi Xuanhuang are the same."

Shangguan Haitang smiled and said, "But in the first item, those things like 'servants', 'houses', 'jewels', 'cloths', etc., are gone... I'm talking about when I first became Xuanzi's number one spy."

"As for now, we have worked hard for the Guardian Dragon Villa for so many years. The court can't treat us unfairly, right?"

"Of course, we don't really need these."

Sister, this is a bit Versailles.

Lu Ping couldn't help but clap his hands and agree: "You already own the No. 1 casino in the world, it's normal for you to look down on these 'small amounts of money'."

As soon as these words were spoken, all three people in the room laughed.

After a moment, Duan Tianya stopped smiling and started explaining in a serious tone.

"Haitang and I were adopted by our foster father and taught a lot of skills since we were young. Yidao was also recruited and trained by our foster father when he was about the same age. After the three of us grew up, it was natural for us to become members of the Hulong Villa. We also plan to use our lives to repay our foster father for his kindness in raising us."

"But your situation is different from ours. Hulong Villa neither gave birth to you nor raised you, nor taught you anything. If we want to absorb an outstanding person like you into the martial arts world, we naturally have to put in more effort."

Lu Ping glanced down at the booklet in his hand and said sarcastically, "So-called 'putting in more thought' means simply throwing money at it? Do you think I'm such a vulgar person?"

Duan Tianya's voice suddenly fell silent, and he turned to look at Shangguan Haitang for help.

He is indeed not suitable to be a lobbyist.

"It is said that 'a penny can make a hero fall'. If you are in the underworld, you can't live without money. In a way, giving money is like saving a life. How can this be considered vulgar behavior?"

Shangguan Haitang retorted and resolved Duan Tianya's embarrassment.

"In fact, at the beginning, my godfather also thought about whether to use other treatments."

"But later I heard about the work you started at the 'Handyman' in Taiping Town, and I knew that you believed in 'every penny counts', so I finally chose such a straightforward approach."

Lu Ping narrowed his eyes and faintly smelled an unusual smell.

They are saying this now, could they be threatening me with the people from Taiping Town?

If that's the case, it really takes a lot of thought!
