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

Chapter 452 Another Great Secret Treasure Will Pass By
"Nine-appearing Divine Dragon, Qi Shaoshang?"

"The chief of Lianyun Village?"

This must be impossible!
When he heard the mysterious man's name, Lu Ping was stunned for two seconds.

As far as he knew, Qi Shaoshang's martial arts skills were roughly on the same level as the Four Famous Detectives, and there was no way he could defeat Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu in three rounds.

And although he is handsome, he is definitely not handsome, elegant and romantic.

Then, Lu Ping quickly thought of another thing.

In the original work, there was a man who roamed the world under the name Qi Shaoshang, and that was Xiao Qiu Shui.

Xiao Qiu Shui lost his emotions and had no love or hate because of practicing the Book of Forgetfulness.

So when he met Qi Shaoshang by chance one time, he asked him to borrow his "name", hoping that Qi Shaoshang's rumored romantic reputation would help him recover his feelings.

Whether in terms of facial features, temperament, or martial arts attainments, the mysterious strong man mentioned by Lu Wushuang is closer to the image of Xiao Qiu Shui.

Thinking of this, Lu Ping secretly felt it was a pity.

If I had known this would happen, I should have followed Li Mochou to say hello to the rumored Xiao Qiu Shui and exchange a few moves with her.

After all, he had already fought with Yan Kuangtu, and it would be a pity if he didn't fight with Xiao Qiu Shui as well.

"What did you say, village chief?"

Previously, Lu Wushuang mostly followed Li Mochou in the Southern Song Dynasty, and didn't know much about the people in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Lu Ping had no intention of explaining it to her in detail, he just waved his hand and said, "If you don't know about the things in the green forest, forget it, don't ask too much."

"Tsk, forget it. Actually, I don't really want to know."

The tsundere has withdrawn from the market, sisters.

Lu Ping's mouth twitched, and he said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. What are your plans for the future?"

"I want to go find my cousin, back then..."

After suffering humiliation in the clutches of Li Mochou for many years, Lu Wushuang was finally liberated. The only relative he cared about was Cheng Ying.

"It's such a big world, where do you plan to start looking?"

If the story had developed according to the original novel, Cheng Ying should have been accepted as a disciple by Huang Yaoshi, and then appeared in the early and late stages of the Heroes Conference, helping the leader Yang Guo to resolve crises many times.

However, when Huang Yaoshi went to Guiyun Villa before, he clearly went alone. Later, when Lu Ping returned to Guiyun Villa to inquire, he did not hear that there was any woman in green following him.

Therefore, it remains to be seen whether Cheng Ying in this world was accepted as a disciple by Huang Yaoshi.

"Well... I plan to go back to my hometown in Jiaxing first. If my cousin can be rescued, I might leave a message there."

Lu Ping nodded: "In that case, I'll take my leave now."

Lu Wushuang was stunned and asked subconsciously: "Where are you going?"

"Of course I'm going after Li Mochou and Xiao Longnu."

"Why are you chasing them?"

Lu Wushuang's eyes were filled with suspicion, "Are you bewitched by that little dragon girl?"

"...What are you thinking about? I'm just very interested in the expert you mentioned."

"Goodbye by fate."

Lu Ping chuckled, turned around and waved goodbye, following the direction Li Mochou and Xiaolongnu had just left.

However, the two had already gone far away, and Lu Ping had never learned any tracking techniques, so it was extremely difficult to find them.

Fortunately, he was not in a hurry. He just went with the flow, thinking that if he could find it, it was fate, and if he couldn't find it, it was also fate.

The night is getting darker.

After searching for half an hour and still finding nothing, Lu Ping decided to find a place to rest.

Suddenly, I saw a glimmer of fire and the sound of soft conversation coming from the front.

"Is there someone camping in this forest?" Lu Ping walked forward in confusion.

After the Zhao Song royal family regained the territory, Beiwulin did not actually calm down. Instead, it remained turbulent and chaotic all year round. Therefore, those who dared to camp outside were definitely not ordinary people.

When I got closer, I saw a dozen men sitting on the ground around a fire. Each of them was carrying a weapon or had scars on their face, and they didn't look like good people.

Lu Ping's idea moved, and he jumped to the tree above the heads of the few people, looked down, and eavesdropped on their conversation.

The leader was a bearded man. He was the first to ask, "How is the gathering going, brothers?"

A thin man answered: "According to the plan, 70% of people have come, and the remaining 30% will arrive in the next three days. But...but is it too dangerous for us to do this? That's the imperial court..."

A pretty boy next to him mocked, "Now that things have come to this, are you afraid? If you are afraid, you can just turn around and leave now. You will just end up having nothing to hand in and get beaten up by that guy from Tianshan."

Hearing the word "beaten", the people present seemed to think of something and shuddered.

The bearded man secretly hated: "Those things are priceless. They were originally our offerings, but they were looted by the thief officers before. Now we are just trying to get them back."

The thin man showed fear on his face: "Yes, we are just taking back what belongs to us... Speaking of which, has this matter been leaked?"

A sword-wielding man in the back said, "You can rest assured about this! This matter is a secret to begin with. Moreover, the most important thing in the martial arts world right now is the 'Battle of the Seven Sacred Peaks' in a few days. Who in the martial arts world would pay attention to this?"

The bearded man shook his head: "Not necessarily! Ordinary people in the martial arts world may not care, but the people in the outlaws must have received the news long ago and made preparations."

"The forces in the Green Forest are led by Liangshan and Lianyunzhai. These two groups will definitely not let go of that thing, so they are also our number one enemy!"

"Go north from here, there is a town called Fengyu. Twenty miles north of Fengyu, there is a big-leaf forest. That thing will pass by here in two days."

The pretty boy analyzed, "The trees in that forest are strong, the branches are dense, and the leaves are lush. It's the best ambush point. If I were from Lianyun Village or Liangshan Water Village, I would definitely attack there!"

The man holding the sword continued, "But we will not go into the forest, but stay outside the forest, waiting for them to finish fighting and exhaust their energy, and then we will reap the benefits!"

“Well said…”

Seeing these people talking in mysterious and evasive ways, Lu Ping felt something was amiss, but he was able to deduce some information from their conversation.

It seems that these people prepared some priceless things to offer to someone on Tianshan Mountain, but they were taken away by the officers, and now they want to take them back.

The time and place were in the big-leaf forest twenty miles north of Fengyu Town two days later.

But the existence of this thing is likely to have been known to the people of Lianyunzhai and Liangshan, and they will most likely take action.

In other words, this is likely to be a battle of 'three for one', with four forces competing against each other.

The matter was clear, but Lu Ping couldn't figure out the identity of this group of people for a while.

"They seemed to have mentioned something like 'Tianshan' and 'offering'?"

"Could it be someone from the Lingjiu Palace?"

In addition to its headquarters at Piaomiao Peak, Lingjiu Palace also has other forces under its command, such as the Nine Heavens and Nine Tribes, the Thirty-Six Caves and Seventy-Two Islands. These forces send offerings to Tianshan every year.

The more Lu Ping thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

"Then what they want to steal...the Flower and Stone Treasure? Or the Birthday Treasure?!"

The offerings from Lingjiu Palace were mostly pearls, treasures, silks, and exotic flowers and plants. Now they were forcibly taken away by military officers and transported secretly, which shows that they were of great significance.

Otherwise, why would the officers of the Song Dynasty go and provoke these gangsters?

After much thought, Lu Ping concluded that only the 'Huashi Gang' or the 'Shengchen Gang' met the requirements.

Whether it was the Flower and Stone Gang or the Birthday Gang, they were all collected by the bigwigs in the court for the sake of enjoyment and fun, by squeezing the people's money from all over the place.

Only these things need to be transported secretly, and are always coveted and seized by the green forest people.

Perhaps out of fear of being overheard, those people did not continue to discuss the plan in detail. They only agreed to gather in a nearby town tomorrow, hold a meeting to determine the manpower, and then go to the destination together to ambush two days later.

Lu Ping was not very interested in their gathering. They would all go to that forest in the end anyway, so he could just go directly to the forest.

After thinking about it, Lu Ping no longer paid attention to the people below and rested on the tree for the night.
