Human Martial Saint: Starting with Bajiquan

Chapter 93 Disguise

Yan Lie, the head of the Yan family.

Looking at the young martial arts student in front of him.

To be honest, before Yin Ruyu's recommendation, this was Yan Lie's impression of Liu Sheng.

He's still at the level of being a promising junior.

All I remember is that Liu Sheng helped Fufeng start practicing martial arts again, and the time he acted as a guard was the time when the caravan suffered the least loss.

He was happy to accept the offer of a marriage proposal from Butler Yan.

But why would Constable Yin recommend such a junior for such a significant matter concerning his own family?

Could it be...?

Yan Lie suddenly remembered that his third brother, Yan Yong, had mentioned the first attack on the caravan to him.

Liu Sheng once cut off all the ears of those wolf demons. Others might not know this, but Yan Lie knew very well that this was the way military merits were calculated.

Considering that Liu Sheng is also a human, he most likely belongs to the only human army.

The rebel army under Zhang Tianxing's command.

Could it be that Yin Ruyu also knew this, and was actually implying that he should send a message through Liu Sheng to ask Zhang Tianxing for help?

Indeed, now that things had reached a critical juncture, Yan Lie couldn't care less about troubling Lord Zhang.

He also tried to send someone to contact Zhang Tianxing, but the messenger couldn't get into Shazhou at all.

They couldn't even get into Shazhou, let alone contact Lord Zhang Tianxing through the Zhang family.

Could it be Liu Sheng standing before us?

Is there a way to contact Lord Zhang?

So he patiently waited.

He then repeated almost exactly what he had said to Yin Ruyu to Liu Sheng.

Listen to what I say.

Liu Sheng originally wanted to refuse.

After all, he considered that he was just a weak and helpless ordinary martial artist who had just broken through to the eighth rank.

This kind of feud between powerful families even involves a huge number of demon border troops, the kind that could wipe out the Yan family's caravan in an instant.

No matter how you look at it, it's not something he should get involved in.

"Patriarch, why are you meddling in such a serious matter? What about me, a mere disciple of the martial arts school?"

"It was Officer Yin's recommendation."

"Oh, what did she say?"

Liu Sheng became somewhat wary, wondering if the secret of the Bajiguan had been exposed by the other party.

"She only said that you might have a way."

Hearing this, Liu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought he hadn't been exposed.

Even if it's exposed, it's fine. Everyone knows that the Yan family and the demon race have been mortal enemies for hundreds of years. Even if they know about the relationship between the Bajiguan and the rebel army, it will only make the Yan family respect them more.

He thought that Yin Ruyu had brought him the precious medicine, and that the Yan family was his benefactor. As for the demon race, he knew that he would have to face them sooner or later after joining the righteous army.

Both morally and logically, I should try my best to help.

He looked at the thousand taels of silver notes in front of him.

He fell into deep thought.

The patriarch, Yan Lie, also fell into deep thought.

Butler Yan stood to the side.

Looking at the two of them, he fell into deep thought.

Behind the screen, Second Master Yan Gang and Third Master Yan Lie secretly watched the three of them, also lost in thought.

"Next, I will ask you some questions. If it is inconvenient for you to answer, you do not have to."

"Master Liu, you're too kind. I will definitely tell you everything I know."

Upon hearing this, Yan Lie and the butler knew that this young Master Liu already had a clue.

They were eagerly anticipating that Liu Sheng could handle the situation just as he had handled the young master Yan Fufeng.

They can also come up with some alternative solutions.

Yan Lie originally thought...

I have made full preparations.

As a result, Liu Sheng asked the first question.

It's just a familiar story, nothing special.

"Can you be sure the Kang family is behind this?"

"able!"

Yan Lie was very certain.

Now that it was confirmed, Liu Sheng continued to ask:

"Since the caravan was attacked, why not change their flags and clothing so they can't recognize it as the Yan family's caravan? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

Upon hearing this question...

Butler Yan, standing to the side, gave a wry smile:

"Master Liu, look at what you're saying, of course we've tried. But do you think those demon army wouldn't plunder just because you're not a merchant caravan from the Yan family?"

Behind the screen were the Second Master and the Third Master.

They all shook their heads.

Needless to say, the Second Master has never had any goodwill towards outsiders.

Especially after Yan Zhan gave up the precious medicine, every time he saw Liu Sheng, he subconsciously looked at him as if he were a thief who had stolen the precious medicine.

Although Third Master thought highly of Liu Sheng, he only felt that he was a promising young martial artist.

Perhaps one day in the future, Liu Sheng will achieve something they cannot even imagine, but certainly not now.

He was helpless when he heard Liu Sheng's question.

Do you think they wouldn't know such a simple method?

however.

Liu Sheng wrote down what he had said.

This shocked the four of them.

"Then why don't you let the caravan members fly the Kang family's flag and wear the Kang family's clothing? Don't tell me the Yan family can't handle this?"

"??!"

Yan Lie was taken aback for a moment.

Then she responded to Liu Sheng with a look that seemed to say, "Is that even possible?"

That's right. If the Kang family has some kind of connection with the demon race's border troops, then the demon race naturally won't attack the Kang family's caravan.

As for the Kang family's clothing and flags.

The three families are so familiar with each other that everyone has a few pieces of clothing or flags from each other's homes.

They mass-produced copies based on the samples.

That couldn't be easier.

Seeing Yan Lie in this state.

Liu Sheng, feeling somewhat helpless, covered his eyes with his palm and lowered his head in disappointment.

Sure enough, that's what he originally thought.

For ordinary people...

Some of these ideas should be considered common sense.

Until the night of the child rescue, Liu Sheng saw that when everyone was discussing plans, their thinking was like soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.

He suddenly realized that, at least in this Crescent Moon County...

There don't seem to be many people with common sense.

It's not entirely Yan Lie's fault. Before this, even the bandits, who would dare not give the Yan family a bit of face when they saw their banners?

The banner of a powerful family signifies a tough opponent.

But now the enemy has changed, and what once represented the Yan family's identity has become a disadvantage.

Things that seem obvious are not so easy to grasp when you're actually in the situation.

"That's right!"

Seeing that Yan Lie, as the head of the family, did not insist on saving face, Liu Sheng felt that the young man was teachable.

He then added:

"The Yan family's top priority right now is to get the caravan running and continue to bring in money. So the safest approach is to first get them out of the city as normal, and then have everyone change their equipment at the weapons station.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Butler Yan, who was standing nearby, chimed in.

"Simply changing the flag and clothes isn't enough; we can change the route."

Liu Sheng dipped his finger in the tea and tapped three dots on the table before continuing his explanation:

"The large dot in the middle is Yueya County, the small dot on the left is Qili County, which produces stone, and the small dot above is Huangqu County. I think we can use Huangqu County as a transit point to bypass the trade routes between Yueya County and Qili County. Although it's a bit farther, it's safer. We can just transport more goods on the shortest trip."

Yan Lie and the butler nodded.

The second and third masters, who were hiding behind the screen, also nodded.

Even now, the way Second Master looked at Liu Sheng was no longer that of a petty thief who stole ginseng. Instead, he felt that such a unique and meticulous plan could be obtained by relying on an old ginseng.

If he still had plenty of old ginseng, he would like to personally give Liu Sheng a few more.

Even so, I feel it's still not enough.

"Ah...isn't that enough?"

Everyone felt that they had truly seen something new today.

Everyone felt that Liu Shengruo was just a martial arts practitioner.

That's a real waste of his talent.

Butler Yan secretly resolved to find a way to help Liu Sheng and Yan Sixian get married.
