Chapter 226 Hidden Dragon Post

"Ping!"

There was a loud bang, and it was the sound of someone kicking open the door of the inn room.

Fu Qingzhou, who was sleeping on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and quickly pulled out the Cutting Wave Knife from under his pillow. He caught a glimpse of a figure approaching him like a phantom, so he stabbed it with the knife!

But the opponent's body movements were extremely agile and strange. The knife came so fast and fiercely, but the opponent dodged like a phantom and retreated several steps before the tip of the knife touched him.

Fu Qingzhou's knife swung in the air, and just as he was about to swing again, he heard the man curse angrily: "You want to stab me to death!"

"what?"

Fu Qingzhou was startled and blinked his eyes which were still a little hazy as he had just woken up. Then he saw clearly that the person coming was Zhao Hao.

"Fuck, what are you doing?" He breathed a sigh of relief and put away the Cutting Blade: "You broke into my room so early in the morning, I thought you were a remnant of the Fanyin Temple!"

After that, he stretched and sat down at the table: "You ran away at the most critical moment, you are really unreliable."

"you……"

Zhao Hao still had anger on his face. He came to the table angrily and muttered, "I want to kick you a few times before you wake up. How many people have you offended? The Fanyin Temple has been destroyed, and you still hide a knife under your pillow when you sleep?"

"This isn't normal for a gangster."

Fu Qingzhou slapped the Cutting Wave Knife on the table and yawned: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"What's the matter? Are you here to punish me?" Zhao Hao was furious again: "How dare you use my influence in the building to spread false information to my senior brothers and sisters?!"

"Yes." Fu Qingzhou spread his hands: "Isn't this the most efficient way to trick those people into coming here from a thousand miles away?"

Yes, this was the method he had told Hua Wuying before to conceal the truth.

Since Jinchan Temple also relies on the internal sources of Qianfang Baixiao Tower to obtain intelligence, wouldn’t it be better to deceive Qianfang Baixiao Tower as well?
Some things are actually easy to guess.

He sneaked into the Fanyin Temple relying on the information provided by Zhao Hao. During this process, no one in the Fanyin Temple received the relevant information and no one knew about it, which means that the Jinchan Temple probably didn't know about it either.

To speculate further, the intelligence network that Jinchan Temple relied on did not receive the news that "someone sneaked into Fanyin Temple" at all, and could not even collect the intelligence that could infer this result.

In other words, Zhao Hao himself has more and stronger resources in his own sect than others, and he has the ability to hide it from the rest of his fellow disciples.

If it's possible to conceal it, why can't we lie?
"I'm right."

Fu Qingzhou blinked innocently: "You have already concealed it, so isn't it normal for me to let Brother Hua command your men to pass on some false news?"

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes so hard that his eyeballs almost flew to the top of his head.

"Fuck you..." He gritted his teeth and said, "Hiding the truth is one thing, but spreading false information is another! It is an iron rule in the building that fellow disciples are not allowed to deceive each other with false information!"

"If you do this, Master will probably break my legs into eighteen pieces!"

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows, turned his head and glanced at Zhao Hao's legs.

"That……"

He coughed lightly: "Then I don't know either. Ignorance is not a crime."

Zhao Hao almost suffocated and passed out from anger.

"Oh, okay, okay." Fu Qingzhou smiled and said, "Not really, not really. You have done a great thing for the martial arts world this time. Your master will at most scold you and give you a symbolic punishment, but he won't really cripple you."

"Humph……"

Zhao Hao said coldly: "The good and evil of the Jianghu has nothing to do with Qianfang Baixiao Tower."

"Nothing to do with it?" Fu Qingzhou was startled. "How can it be nothing to do with it?"

"Is it weird?"

Zhao Hao said calmly: "You should know that we are actually supported by the court. Although we do some intelligence trading, we actually provide intelligence to His Majesty and Mingjian Pavilion to help them control the country."

"The good and evil in the martial arts world are very important to you, but to His Majesty, all of this may not be as noisy as the chirping of the birds outside the window of the imperial study."

Fu Qingzhou's eyes moved slightly.

Zhao Hao smiled and said, "So the destruction of Fanyin Temple is a great event for you to punish evil and promote good, but for me, it's just a deal."

"trade……"

Fu Qingzhou suddenly remembered and became curious: "Yes, what kind of deal did you make with Brother Hua?"

When talking about this, Zhao Hao's face darkened again.

"Damn it, I did this for myself, why do I feel like it will end up being a wedding dress for you?"

He murmured in dissatisfaction: "Could it be that this kid is really blessed with good fortune?"

He muttered so quietly that Fu Qingzhou couldn't hear clearly, and immediately stretched his neck to ask, "What did you say?"

"Well... Anyway, the preparations are almost done, so I'll tell you now."

Zhao Hao rolled his eyes, reached into his clothes, and finally pulled out something that looked like an invitation. He threw it at Fu Qingzhou's face like trash: "Take it." Fu Qingzhou reached out to catch it. He saw that the invitation was beautifully mounted and made of exquisite materials. The cover was even made of fine crocodile skin, with three big characters written on it...

Hidden Dragon Post!
"what is this?"

He opened the so-called Qianlong Tie with doubt, and saw a few lines of words written in neat handwriting on it.

"In the nineteenth year of Qianhao, on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the Wulin Alliance in the north of Luoyi City."

"If there is a gathering of 100 latent dragons, those who are under 30 years old and have reached the fourth level of cultivation or above can join if they hold this letter."

"Those who are capable can get 880 tickets. Those who are ranked among the 100 will be given 1,000 taels of silver. Those who are ranked in the top ten will be given magical weapons. Those who are ranked in the top three will be given a thousand secret books to choose from. The one who wins the first place will be named a latent dragon and will be given a peerless magical pill!"

"One hundred hidden heroes, both righteous and brave, famous in the world, recognized by the world!"

In the corners of these lines of words, there are two seal marks. If you look closely, one is printed with "Qianfang Baixiao" and the other is printed with "Wulin League".

Fu Qingzhou exclaimed, his eyes widened: "It's such a big deal? You and the Wulin League co-hosted a big event!"

"It's not us—"

Zhao Hao proudly opened his folding fan and said, "It's me! Only me, the young master!"

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows: "You spent so much effort to help us destroy the Fanyin Temple, but in fact, it was just to let Brother Hua accompany you to deal with this Hidden Dragon Hundred Heroes Association?"

"That is."

Zhao Hao was very proud and shook his head: "Find the top 100 most promising and most praised young people in this world and rank them. Do you understand the value of this?"

Fu Qingzhou laughed and said, "Are you going to be a well-known person in the martial arts world?"

"Bai Xiaosheng?"

Zhao Hao sat up straight, his eyes shining: "This title is interesting... Qianfang Baixiaolou, Baixiaosheng... Hiss, why didn't I think of it before..."

Fu Qingzhou waved his hand to interrupt him: "Alright, alright, aren't you doing this just for your own amusement? Who else but Brother Hua will be ranked first? And there are other disciples from other big sects...won't they easily be ranked first?"

"Hey, then you underestimate me too much, and you also underestimate the world."

Zhao Hao said disdainfully: "Although Hua Wuying is very powerful, it may be difficult for him to rank in the top five... Now in my mind, the strongest competitors for the top three are all women."

Fu Qingzhou was slightly surprised.

"The first one is your old acquaintance, Wan Dushan and Hua Xiaolan."

Zhao Hao sneered, "According to our investigation, Long Dabei died at her hands! Although she used the Life-Exchange Curse, which cost the lives of many disciples and damaged her own cultivation potential, this record is unparalleled in the world."

"As far as we know, she tamed the most poisonous creature in the Ten Thousand Poisons Mountain, the Ice Orchid Arrow Frog, in the past two years. With this, she advanced to the sixth level of spiritual enlightenment. Even the life-changing curse is not unsolvable... Hua Xiaolan is very powerful."

"The other woman's name is Ning Wushu."

"She is the adopted daughter of the Northern Frontier Marshal Hong Ruohai, and also a general under Marshal Hong. She is now in her early 27s, but she had already advanced to the sixth realm four years ago. She also practiced military tactics and can cross borders to kill enemies. She has already killed thousands of enemies on the battlefield! As for the record of killing Northern Yi enemy generals... I can't even count them with my two hands!"

"There is another woman...her name is Murong Xuan."

"she……"

Speaking of this person, Zhao Hao's eyes actually revealed a fascination: "She was originally a disciple of Qiluo Palace. Ten years ago, when she was only fifteen years old, she knew the truth about her family's destruction and blood feud. Because Qiluo Palace advocated non-killing and benevolence, she was not allowed to seek revenge. So she abandoned her cultivation, rebelled against Qiluo Palace, and hid in the Northern Desert for many years... Three years ago, Murong Xuan returned to the martial arts world, and she was already in the sixth realm."

"In the past three years, she has tracked down the murderer for thousands of miles and killed dozens of people who were her blood enemies, including some who were strong in the sixth and seventh realms. She is still chasing the murderer... This girl has great perseverance and courage. I love her so much!"

Fu Qingzhou blinked: "This woman sounds very powerful. What kind of enemies does she have? Why do she have so many masters?"

"Don't worry about it."

Zhao Hao curled his lips and smiled, then stood up: "Anyway, remember to come on August 15th."

Fu Qingzhou shook his head and threw the Qianlong card back on the table: "You can take it... I have to send Senior Zuo's ashes back to my hometown, so I don't have time to play house with you."

Zhao Hao's eyes suddenly widened with a look of disbelief.

"What?" Fu Qingzhou sneered, "Are you surprised?"

"Very surprised."

Zhao Hao looked as if he didn't recognize the man in front of him. He sat back down with a solemn expression, "I thought you were a man who was seeking fame and reputation by being a hero, but I never thought..."

At this point, he suddenly revealed a somewhat friendly smile, stretched out his hand to hold down the Qianlong card, and pushed it back in front of Fu Qingzhou: "Don't worry, the junior Zuo Lamei will also come to the Qianlong Hundred Elites Meeting. You don't have to make an extra trip, just come when you should. I still think highly of you."

Fu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows slightly.

After a moment of silence, he finally reached out and accepted the Qianlong invitation, blinking his eyes: "In this case, let me ask you something... Regarding the strange curse on my hand, someone once said that the most likely way to break it is your Qianfang Baixiao Tower, otherwise..."

"Stop!"

Zhao Hao interrupted him, and the smile on his face turned into a smirk: "My opinion of you has changed a little now, but it's not to the point of being a brother or friend with you."

"The matter of the Fanyin Temple is over. I don't care about your affairs. I know your curse. The solution is extremely expensive. You can't afford it. You want to buy information? Go talk to my master yourself when you have a chance."
