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

Chapter 249 A small trade fair...? ?

“Speaking of which, why is Brother Lu here?”

Lu Ping rolled his eyes and complained: "I'm not like you guys. I don't have the leisure time every day. I'm either traveling or stealing wine and gambling."

"For the sake of the peace and stability of the martial arts world, I am very busy and don't have time for half a day..."

Lu Ping chattered on and on about his experiences over the past few days, picking out the key points. It was unknown whether Lu Xiaofeng could understand his hardships, but he could definitely see how deep his resentment was.

"The more capable you are, the more work you will do. The more capable you are, the more work you will do..."

"A young and promising person like you is destined to become a role model in the martial arts world like Yan Nantian and Shi Yanwen in the future, praised by everyone. You are much better than me and Monkey, two guys who just eat and wait to die!"

Pull it down!

Do you think I'll be fooled by this little bit of flattery?

"If you can speak, speak more."

Lu Xiaofeng held his forehead with his hand: "...Brother, suppress the corners of your mouth, if you smile any more, your mouth will curl up to the sky."

The two chatted and laughed for a while before returning to the topic of business.

"So you haven't found any clues about Sikong Zhaixing yet?"

"No."

Lu Ping thought for a moment and consoled them, “Since they were kidnapped as criminals, I think they will not be treated well. In the end, they will either become assassins of Luohua Suiyuan Manor or become slaves under Yan Chengjun.”

"Fortunately, Sikong Zhaixing is proficient in disguise and Qinggong, which can be considered a skill. He also knows how to read people's expressions and act accordingly. He should not get himself killed so easily."

After hearing Lu Ping's clear and logical analysis, Lu Xiaofeng's expression improved slightly.

"You didn't find any news, and you still went to the gambling house?"

"Isn't it because those places have better information..."

“You’re still throwing money around?”

"This is to increase my visibility so that interested parties will come to me. Anyway, the money was earned through gambling, so I don't feel bad about it."

"You're not waiting for me even if you throw money?"

"This is because... No, how do I know you're here? And whether you're here or not doesn't matter to me throwing money, right?"

Lu Ping retracted his melancholy look at the loss of ten thousand taels: "If you ask me, you might as well take the money and go directly to Qiaomu Palace to find Yan Chengjun. Maybe you can buy him back."

"Yeah, I regret it now."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "But there is no way, I came in through the 'Earth Suction' route before, and after coming in, I have been staying in the Never-Sleeping Long River. I didn't know about the business here in Qiaomu Palace before!"

"No wonder they resorted to such an operation as throwing money away..."

"Then what are your plans next?"

Lu Xiaofeng was still clear-headed and said, "I want to try here to see if there is any news about Sikong Zhaixing. Once I get some clues, I will go to the Never-Sleeping River to get some money and then buy him back."

Lu Ping thought about it and suggested, "In that case, you can follow me for a while, maybe you can find out."

"Do you have a way?" Lu Xiaofeng blinked and asked hurriedly.

"Didn't I just say that there will be a trade fair in Qiaomu Palace in a while. The guests who will come are all VIPs of the Yellow Amber Knife Coin level. We can get some information from them."

"That makes sense! But how are we supposed to get in?"

Lu Ping squinted his eyes and said, "What do you mean by 'sneak in'? How ugly it sounds!"

"I am a great hero in the Southern Wulin world, and I have been recommended by a VIP customer, so of course I can just use face recognition!"

"Then I..."

"Of course, pretend to be my follower!"

Lu Xiaofeng: "..."

For the monkey's whereabouts, just follow him...

In a blink of an eye, midnight is approaching and the trade fair at Qiaomu Palace is held as scheduled.

The venue is an open platform.

There are nine seats on the platform, one of which is the main seat, which is Yan Chengjun's seat, and the other eight guest seats are located on the left and right sides below. There is no curtain between them to demonstrate fairness, openness and justice.

At this time, seven of the eight seats were already occupied, leaving only the last one vacant.

"It's midnight, but the transaction hasn't started yet. Could it be that everyone hasn't arrived yet?"

Someone at the table asked.

On the main seat, Yan Chengjun smoked calmly, "One more person is missing."

Another person asked, "What kind of person is it that is worth you breaking the rules of punctuality for him?"

Yan Chengjun put down his pipe and replied, "I didn't break the rules because he's already here."

As soon as he finished speaking, something strange happened in the conference hall.

Everyone at the banquet saw a bright white light at the entrance, and then a breeze blew in their faces. In the Lang Lang poem, a young figure stepped in -

"Time is invisible at the end of the world, but there is wind and dust on the crossroads. A hundred years seem like being drunk, and right and wrong are just a cloud." Use 'Sword Box Curtain Lamp' for lighting, use 'Gentleman's Style' as a blower, and add Fu Long's poem to the year, and the image of a martial arts master will emerge.

Lu Ping stood silently with his hands behind his back, followed by Lu Xiaofeng, who looked three parts embarrassed and seven parts proud, and strode into the venue with his head held high.

"Sorry, I'm late."

Yan Chengjun, who was sitting in the main seat, smiled and said, "Not too late, not too late... The timing is just right, please take a seat, my dear guest."

Lu Ping nodded, walked to the last empty seat and sat down, then looked at the people present.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you look at it.

They are all acquaintances!

While Lu Ping was looking at the others, the rest of the people were also looking at him and Lu Xiaofeng.

The handsome young man in the number one position has a plump face, looks gentle and modest, is dressed in gorgeous clothes, holds a folding flower fan in his hand, has a smile on his face, and the corners of his lips are slightly raised, making him look like a gentleman.

However, this attire and the words on the folding fan in his hand betrayed his identity——

Dao domain, reed flowers and leaves!
Because Lu Ping had previously treated and made friends with Ye Yunzi and other people from the Shenxiao Dao Sect, he had some connections with Daoyu, so Dihua Tiye began to pay some attention to him.

The person in the second position looks and has the same temperament as the one in the first position, except that his eyes are more sinister, and the fan in his hand is not an ordinary folding fan, but an iron fan.

Lu Xiaofeng whispered to Lu Ping about his background.

"The current head of the Murong family, Murong Ning!"

According to what Murong Jiu said before, the Murong family will hold a clan sacrifice in a few days.

At this time, Murong Ning, the head of the family, appeared here. Lu Ping could only think of one reason, which was to inquire about the whereabouts of Murong Shengxue.

The person in position three is a swordsman in white, who is also gentle, elegant, and has a strong scholarly air.

Lu Xiaofeng also knew the other party's identity, because he had just met this person a few days ago -

"The deputy owner of Huanzhu Tower, Fengdu Yue!"

During this period, Emperor Wen had not yet returned to Huanzhu Tower, which was still managed by Baili Xiaoxiang. So the reason why Fengdu Yue, the deputy tower owner, appeared here was either to find out the whereabouts of Ren Piaomiao, or because of the "Miaojiang robber" incident a few days ago.

There were two people sitting in the fourth position, one big and one small woman.

Coincidentally, Lu Ping and Lu Xiaofeng knew each other. They had met once outside the capital of the Suzaku Dynasty.

'Five Poisons Leader' Qu Yun, 'Red Shoes Sister' Gongsun Lan!

The two women were the first to recognize Lu Ping and the other man. After all, they had met them before, but they each had important things to do at the moment, so they lowered their heads and pretended not to know each other.

Sitting at seat number five was a middle-aged man dressed like a soldier, wearing a fur coat with a distinct Miao-style.

Lu Xiaofeng didn't recognize this person, but Lu Ping could tell his identity at a glance -

Captain of the Iron Army Guard, Tieqi is asking for clothes!

Tieqiong Qiuyi had never seen Lu Ping before, but as the second of the Nine Calculators, he always paid attention to the big and small things in the martial arts world and had heard of Lu Ping's identity a long time ago. Now he recognized him at a glance.

After all, there are not many young people in the world who are qualified to sit here.

As for Lu Xiaofeng, Tieqie Qiuyi knew about this person because he had been asking around in Miao territory these days about criminals who had been robbed. He also knew that Sikong Zhaixing, who had the audacity to steal wine from the military camp, was his friend.

Coincidentally, Tieqi Qiuyi also came here today to investigate this matter.

Things like being robbed and killed while transporting criminals can be said to be a provocation to the authority of the Miaojiang Guming Dynasty.

Tieqi Qiuyi is the commander of the Iron Army Guard, and this operation is carried out by his subordinates. Now that something has happened, he must step forward to deal with it.

Sitting at position six was an old man in green, with white hair and a long beard. His clothes were extremely gorgeous and noble, and his face had the unique features of a superior, a politician, or a conspirator.

The old man was sitting on Lu Ping's right. Because he was close to him, Lu Ping could smell a faint fishy smell from him.

Combining various information, Lu Ping quickly identified the other party's identity -

In the Taixu Sea, the scale clan is experiencing rain and is covered with autumn frost!
Fu Qiu Shuang is a shrewd man. He came here from far away, so it must be not just to do business. However, Lu Ping was not sure of his purpose for the moment.

Position seven is just opposite Lu Ping. There are also two men there, but one looks ordinary-looking, while the other has some potential to be a gigolo.

At first, Lu Ping didn't recognize the two people, and was even more confused as to how two ordinary people appeared among a group of powerful characters.

But after taking a closer look at the pretty boy's face, he finally remembered his identity. Then, thinking about the power he belonged to, he soon recalled the identity of the other person -

The King of Hell's ghost path, 'Shenhua' recognizes the dragon's shadow, 'Qi Fei' Fang Zhimo!

It would be fine if he could just recognize the dragon shadow, but Fang Zhimo at this stage was still being controlled by the Death Commander, so his strength should not be underestimated.

As for the reason why they appeared here, it is conceivable that they are here to buy medicinal materials to study the Water of Death, and perhaps they also have the intention of "investigating the true identity of the Death Bureau".

After quickly scanning these people, Lu Ping felt his heart beating three times faster.

Wow, such a small trade fair, but with such a splendid lineup?!

It not only gathers the Yin-Yang School, Murong Family, Huanzhu Tower, Five Poison Sect, Red Shoes, Iron Army Guards, Scale Clan, Yama's Ghost Path, Mohist School, Guigu and other overt and covert forces in the martial arts world.

The members' origins also spread across the Suzaku Dynasty, Miao Territory, Dao Territory, and Sea Territory, and if you really count them carefully, it can be said that they include the three major martial arts worlds of the East, South, and West.

This does not even take into account the forces within the Yinhuai Ghost Market itself!
It’s just a trade fair, is it necessary to make such a big deal?
