Chapter 402: Rare Encounter in the Western Regions

Speaking of trust...

It’s not that there isn’t.

In Zhao Hanya's opinion, what Lu Ping said made sense. If you help others, you have to get paid. If you want to take one third of the treasure, then just take it. The money is not yours anyway.

After all, has Jiutian done anything for himself?

Absolutely not!

On the contrary, he had suffered many disasters since he was a child, and even his entire family was wiped out because of it.

Therefore, Zhao Hanya has no sense of belonging to this organization.

Lu Ping clicked his tongue several times when he heard this, then laughed and said, "You two are really good!"

"One is clearly not a member of Jiutian, but treats the money in their hands like a treasure; the other is clearly a member of Jiutian, but ignores the money."

"If people like you get married in the future, I really don't know what it will be like."

"One has no money; one's husband has no money..."

Ye Qifei raised her eyebrows, put her arms around Zhao Hanya, and immediately said, "Then I might as well marry Duoduo in the future. Wouldn't that solve the problem?!"

hiss--! !

Lu Ping immediately took a deep breath and showed admiration: "You are really a genius!"

"But will your family agree?"

Ye Qifei laughed: "Are you kidding? My family is a typical 'free marriage' family!"

This is true...

Lu Ping thought of Ye Ying, who had never married, and Ye Wei and Liu Xi, who were in a free love relationship, and he understood where Ye Qifei's confidence came from at the moment.

"Then your mission at Hidden Sword Villa to continue the family lineage..."

“There’s a mirror pool!”

Ye Qifei continued, "Besides, there are still Uncle Four and Uncle Five. One more person won't make much difference anyway."

Seeing Ye Qifei's serious words, Zhao Hanya could not help but freeze, her face full of worry: "Fei Fei, you have also been brainwashed by the Red Dress Cult, right?"

Over the past few months, with the continuous suppression from the Righteous Alliance, the Valley of Evil, and the Tiance Mansion, the Red Dress Sect has gradually declined in the martial arts world. However, there are still many people who have been deeply poisoned by their idea of ​​"reversing yin and yang" and cannot be washed away.

Zhao Hanya was very worried that Ye Qifei would also be affected by this bad trend.

"Shaduoduo, do I look that stupid?"

Ye Qifei immediately comforted him: "I was just joking!"

Unfortunately, instead of comforting her, these words made Zhao Hanya feel somewhat embarrassed, because just two years ago, she had been deceived by the Red Dress Cult.

Fortunately, Lu Ping quickly broke the awkwardness.

"Eh?? You were just joking?"

"I am your biggest supporter. I thought I could finally eat wedding candy."

Lu Ping's face was filled with disappointment, and then he muttered in a low voice as if no one was around: "But if Duoduo fails to hide his life in the future, he can use the 'Same Life Technique' to possess Qi Fei."

"In that case, there's no difference between you and getting married..."

"That's not right. If we share a body, it should be a relationship that is closer than best friends, husband and wife, or even soul mates!"

Before I knew it, the air around me became quiet, with only the whistling sound of the wind remaining in the yard.

Could this person be a psychopath?

Ye Qifei and Zhao Hanya stared at Lu Ping strangely, as if they had just gotten to know this person all over again.

Is this world crazy?
Why are more and more people in the martial arts world starting to behave abnormally...

After the small talk, they got back to business.

Whether it was a treasure or not was certainly not something that could be decided by the three people present at the meeting. Out of friendship, Lu Ping agreed to Ye Qifei's request and went to the Western Regions with her to find out what was going on.

As the outcome of this trip was unpredictable, the two men did not bring Zhao Hanya with them and left her in Wanhua Valley.

……

After three days of galloping on horseback, Lu Ping and Ye Qifei finally arrived in the Western Regions.

Within the Western Regions, more than 90% of the area is yellow sand and rock soil with severe water loss.

What he saw was a vast expanse of desolation, with few signs of life such as flowers, plants or trees. This made Lu Ping, who had been in the Valley of Flowers for more than three months, very uncomfortable. "Before coming here, I had heard that the Western Region Chamber of Commerce was very big, and I thought there would be many robbers here."

"Now it seems that it is much more peaceful than I imagined..."

In the original timeline, when Ye Qifei and others came to the Western Regions to rescue Lu Yanhe, the Imam had been dead in the East China Sea for two years.

Without the supervision of their direct boss, the subordinates gradually became ambitious.

The entire Western Region Chamber of Commerce and the trade routes controlled by the Chamber of Commerce were thrown into chaos, and the area was filled with robbers and killers, and the caravan trade suffered a severe blow.

But now the Imam is still alive, and he is hiding in the Western Regions, secretly controlling the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, so there is naturally no chaos here, and trade caravans are also operating normally.

After figuring this out, Lu Ping felt relieved and thought: At least on this trip, I don’t have to worry about lack of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

"The Imam needs the Chamber of Commerce to collect money for him and develop Zoroastrianism."

"So even if he knew his identity was exposed, he would not resort to such tactics that would hurt himself and the enemy at the cost of his own lives unless it was the last possible moment."

Ye Qifei explained why many caravans here were still circulating normally.

"So, what happened to the communication base built by Tyrant Blade Villa that was destroyed? Where are we going to meet up with Senior Liu and Senior Sword Saint next?"

"To my place, of course."

Half a day later, Lu Ping followed Ye Qifei to Yonganxing.

Yonganxing is one of the chambers of commerce secretly run by Ye Qifei. A few years ago, a branch was opened in the Western Region Trade Route. Few people in the world knew about this, and only the direct relatives of Cangjian and Badao knew about it.

This is also to deal with the current situation.

After arriving at the place and taking out tokens to verify their identities, the two finally met Liu Fenggu and Sword Saint.

The former is an old man with a haggard face, white hair and beard, and wearing a mink coat; the latter is a burly, muscular, and domineering man.

Liu Fenggu and Sword Saint were both surprised and delighted that Lu Ping appeared here.

In their opinion, it was already very difficult for Ye Qifei to learn the cryptic message they had spread and find this place.

Unexpectedly, she not only came in person, but also brought such a capable helper as Lu Ping...

In this way, there is finally hope of rescuing Lu Yanhe!

Liu Fenggu and Sword Saint knew Lu Ping.

Although they had never met each other before, they learned about Lu Ping's reputation in the world and his help in this matter from various news in the "Tang Dynasty Post" and the news from Li Fu.

"Thank you for sharing the inside story about Lu Yanhe!"

"Now that the young man is willing to help, we are grateful."

When expressing gratitude, the process of "accept my greeting" is necessary, right?

Lu Ping complained silently in his heart, but his eyes kept looking at the old man in front of him.

This person is the 'Yan Tianjun' among the 'Nine Heavens', and he was also the Master Liu Wu who was known as 'Gongsun Liu Wu' together with Gongsun Daniang in the martial arts world in the past, and who caused a love triangle that caused a sensation in the entire martial arts world.

There are many different opinions about who Liu Fenggu loves most in his life.

People in the underworld who love to listen to gossip think it is Gongsun You, the "Mrs. Gongsun";

The family members of Badao Villa believed that it was his first wife Duguyi;

However, game players generally believe that Liu Fenggu's favorite person in his life should be the previous generation's "divine fortune teller" Zhao Mingkong, because he obeys Zhao Mingkong's orders...

Not to mention Lu Ping's desertion, after seeing the reinforcements arriving, Liu Fenggu began to explain in detail to Ye Qifei and Lu Ping what had happened to him in the Western Regions before.

It turned out that the communication base of Badao Villa was hidden by Liu Fenggu among the caravans traveling to and from the Western Regions a long time ago.

The reason why it is destroyed now is because there is a traitor among his people.

After the traitor realized that Liu Fenggu and Jiansheng had arrived in the Western Regions, he reported the situation to his superior. Then, in order to clear his suspicion, he disguised himself as a robber and attacked the caravan to avoid being exposed for leaking the information.

Because of this incident, Liu Fenggu could only use a roundabout way and send some inconspicuous Western Region merchant caravans to Jiangnan to report the situation of the "Western Region Incident" to Cangjian Villa so that Ye Qifei would know.

The method was a bit abstract, but fortunately Ye Qifei was indeed smart. The moment she received the message, she guessed what Liu Fenggu wanted to express.

After Liu Fenggu realized that the communication base of Badao Villa had been destroyed, he and the Sword Saint hid in the inconspicuous Yong'an Bank and had not contacted anyone else.

Although this tactic of "turning light into covert" was a bit cowardly, fortunately it did successfully allow them to avoid the Imam's eyes.

During this period, the two men also went out in disguise and secretly conducted investigations here.

However, the routes in various places in the Western Regions are complicated and the environment is quite harsh. The investigation progress is very slow and there have not been many results so far.
