Your skills are excellent, and now I have them too.

Chapter 121 An Abrupt Beginning

Lu Zhao then inquired about the usage of this martial art, "Breaking Through," as well as some tips and tricks, such as how injecting energy into different acupoints can produce different effects.

Sometimes, the disordered breathing can even cause numbness or tingling in parts of the enemy's limbs.

Why are you asking such detailed questions?

It's like you can actually do that.

Sui Chaoyu didn't say the second half of the sentence. Although he grew up on the streets, he was very sensitive and cared a lot about other people's feelings. This is called "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you".

Lu Zhao could understand what he meant, but he couldn't say that he had a system, so after a long pause, he finally managed to say, "I'm your fan."

What are fans?

"They are worshippers."

"cough."

Sui Chaoyu scratched his eyebrows. "Let's get down to business. I've now confirmed Luo Tianchong's arrangements."

Lu Zhao looked around the car window; there was no one else in the parking lot.

"What's the arrangement?" he asked. Sui Chaoyu replied, "Sometime in the next couple of days, probably around midnight, possibly in several batches. In any case, the group will gather people to escort the goods out. They should meet somewhere in the desert. Oh, that's just my guess; there's no need to pass it on."

The weapons were dumped by someone in the state army, and afterwards, they'd settle the accounts using methods like drills or burning down warehouses—that's how it's always been. I've done this before; I sold them to a gang of sand bandits near Zhitian County.

Zhitian County is located on the other side of Wanxiang Continent. It is named after a nearby Zhitian Peak. It is in a remote location and is surrounded by bandits and highwaymen. It is said that the local county magistrate is in cahoots with these bad guys, which is very abstract.

As both of them had previously concluded, Vientiane Island was completely ruined.

"Is there absolutely no clue as to the destination?"

"The secret gang's whereabouts are uncertain; perhaps even Luo Tianchong doesn't know where they're going to transport it now."

The Secret Party was the secret party of Lord Shang, a self-proclaimed name of the Shang rebels, since no one who rebels would call themselves a rebellious party.

Sui Chaoyu was a member of the martial arts world, so he was used to being addressed that way. If he hadn't joined the Linglong Guard, he would probably have been closer to an organization like Shang Ni, somewhat like the relationship between martial arts figures and the Heaven and Earth Society.

Of course, it's only a slight similarity. After all, Shang Yang's banner has no legal standing whatsoever, and he's completely different from the Heaven and Earth Society. Moreover, Shang Yang doesn't seem to have much of an inclination to unite people from the martial arts world.

Lu Zhao continued, "What are your plans?"

Sui Chaoyu said, "This transaction is of great importance. Luo Tianchong will go in person, but Bu Tianyan is uncertain. In any case, I will definitely protect Luo closely. We may meet the Secret Party members directly, so it will be difficult to find an opportunity to send out the coordinates."

You'll most likely be assigned to the escort team to hold the line. You might have more opportunities there. Ideally, you should determine the destination before you arrive and get the information out, but you must be absolutely certain before taking any action. We're here to arrest people, not to seize stolen goods. Don't let the core members of the secret service escape.

Lu Zhao nodded in agreement.

I've been working as a free henchman for the Radish Group for a while now, all for this one hurdle. Once the operation is over, I can go back and get promoted, and then go to the front lines to find Chen Qinhu and the others.

"I wonder if Tiger has mastered the Turtle Shell Divine Skill, if A-Can has been admitted to the Martial Guard, and if Stone... is still alive."

There was also an old Yang, but he was so inconspicuous that I didn't think of him.

He returned to the training room, intending to cultivate for a while, when Bu Tianyan suddenly knocked on the door.

"Little Sui, let's go take a bath."

"what?"

Lu Zhao was about to refuse when the other person forcefully grabbed his arm and smiled meaningfully.

It's time to take action.

He glanced at the sky outside. In the middle of the day? That's too sudden, but then again, it makes it less likely for the secret to be leaked.

Should I make an excuse to call and inform Nangong Qingye?

There's no need. Making a phone call at this time would be too risky. We already sent out the news of the upcoming operation a couple of days ago, so they're definitely on high alert. There's no need to create unnecessary trouble.

Lu Zhao made a decision. In any case, even if he notified Nangong Qingye now, she couldn't directly follow him. Once discovered, Shang Ni would not show himself.

The key to the success of the operation lies in two points: first, confirming the existence of the rebels, and second, disseminating the coordinates.

Bu Tianyan led the way to the public bathhouse on one of the floors. Lu Zhao had never been to this place before and didn't even know it existed.

This place is not much different from the large public bathhouse in a bath center, with a pool in the middle where quite a few people are already taking a bath.

"Hurry up! Once you're done washing, go outside and relax. Find a masseuse to give you a massage and loosen up your muscles."

Bu Tianyan walked naked through the swirling mist, saying, "Same old rule, come back after we're done this time, and I'll find you a real pro."

The crowd around them burst into lewd laughter; it seemed this wasn't the first time.

"What do you mean by real technician or fake technician?" Lu Zhao asked.

"hey-hey."

Bu Tianyan lewdly said, "The ones outside are the proper massage therapists with strong hands, to invigorate the blood and relieve fatigue before we go. But when we come back, it'll be those other kinds of therapists."

He reached out and checked his hands in front of him twice.

Lu Zhao didn't soak in the pool; he just rinsed off and came out. But the clothes he wore when he came in were gone, replaced by a new combat suit.

"These are all good stuff. Look at this bodysuit, the threads are made of silk steel, harder than my machine gun, and it's light too. It's very expensive." Bu Tianyan was afraid that he would be angry that his original outfit had been taken away because of his arrogant personality, so he quickly told him about the benefits.

Looking at the black clothes in his hand, Lu Zhao knew that this was a huge investment. The high price was just one aspect; the key point was that ordinary Qin soldiers did not receive clothes with silk-inlaid steel. Only the Imperial Guards had them. If they hadn't been involved in arms smuggling, they probably wouldn't have been able to get their hands on these things.

"Where are my weapons?"

"That guy."

Bu Tianyan beckoned someone over, and after exchanging a few words, the person brought over the beam saber and the halberd.

"You can bring these two items. We can talk about the rest when we get back, to avoid any trouble."

He gave a very perfunctory answer, but in reality, he said he wasn't allowed to bring anything. He also said that the two weapons had probably been thoroughly checked to prevent them from being fitted with tracking devices or something similar.

Lu Zhao didn't say much, only asking, "Where's the gun?"

"Oh? You still use guns? I've never seen that before. Which kind do you like to use?"

Lu Zhao didn't stand on ceremony with him: "A pistol will do, a larger caliber one."

He has the auxiliary skill of stable physique, and his skill level is not low, so the recoil of ordinary firearms has basically no effect on him.

Bu Tianyan led him to his office, opened a hidden door, revealing a secret room with guns hanging on all four sides.

"He really is a pure-blooded violent maniac. He built a secret room in his office, but it wasn't a love room."

Lu Zhao had only seen standard firearms on transport ships before, and the thugs of the Zhao family used similar weapons, so this was the first time he had seen so many different types of firearms in this world, and he was a little overwhelmed.

Bu Tianyan was a pure violence fanatic who liked to tinker with these things. Seeing the young man looking at the exhibits so seriously, and remembering his older brother's plan, his eyes became somewhat complicated.

After hesitating for a moment, he took out a silver-painted pistol from a hidden compartment in the secret room. The gun body was engraved with intricate narrative patterns, like murals in an underground palace, belonging to the level of works of art.

"Here, this is for you."

Lu Zhao took the exquisitely crafted pistol: "What's this?"

"This is no ordinary gun."

Bu Tianyan said with a hint of smugness, "You may not have heard of it, but there is a weapon that can fire more powerful ammunition than ordinary firearms."

Lu Zhao recalled the swift arrow on the transport ship back then.

He had not only heard of it, but he had also seen it.

He now knows that the Quick Arrow is classified as a pneumatic firearm, but not the kind of air gun we know on Earth. It is a gun driven by force, which is very difficult to manufacture, has its own characteristics, and is quite powerful.

"Is this it?"

He looked at the object in his hand, but something seemed off.

In principle, pneumatic firearms require the input of internal energy to fire special ammunition, which necessitates an energy-gathering array, which this gun does not seem to have.
