Five days later, at the World Gathering.
At a lake at the back of the mountain.
A small boat was floating in the middle of the lake, swaying gently with the water.
Lu Qingchuan stood at one end of the boat with his eyes closed. He held a fishing rod in his hand and was fishing quietly.
Splash!
At this moment, a figure landed on the boat with a light tap on the water.
The water rippled as the figure touched it, but it did not cause much of a stir.
The figure was dressed in white and held a folding fan. He was dressed like a scholar.
This person was the strategist of the World Gathering, Bai Moxuan.
"A little bit of water won't startle the fish …"
Bai Moxuan landed on the boat. Lu Qingchuan said calmly, "Moxuan, why are you so cautious today?"
"Leader, you're busy with the affairs of the World Gathering. It's rare that you have the time to fish here today …"
Hearing Lu Qingchuan's words, Bai Moxuan said, "Moxuan wouldn't dare to startle the fish in the lake and ruin your mood."
Lu Qingchuan shook his head and said, "Those that can be startled away are all small fish and crabs. They're not worth fishing for …"
"What I want to fish are the big guys in the lake that won't be startled away!"
Lu Qingchuan's eyes darkened as he looked at the lake. "For example, that one!"
As soon as he said that, Bai Moxuan followed Lu Qingchuan's gaze and saw a blood-red arowana the size of two people devouring the small fishes in the lake. It was very eye-catching at first glance.
Bai Moxuan was slightly stunned.
He did not expect that there would be such a huge arowana in this inconspicuous lake.
"Moxuan, is there something you need this time?"
Just as Bai Moxuan was secretly shocked, Lu Qingchuan's voice suddenly sounded.
"Leader!"
Hearing Lu Qingchuan's words, Bai Moxuan hurriedly said, "According to our spies, Yunting has already appeared in Sichuan …"
"Sichuan?"
Lu Qingchuan's expression was calm when he heard this. He said, "It seems that he has already obtained the Juntian Token and is heading to the Lingyun Cave …"
"Leader, you're wise!"
Bai Moxuan said, "Also, the disciples of the Gale Hall reported that Hall Master Feng is also missing. I'm guessing that he's going to meet up with Yun Ting!"
"They've been close to each other since young, so it's reasonable …"
In response to Bai Moxuan's words, Lu Qingchuan was extremely indifferent. His gaze pierced through the water and looked at the large fish that were wreaking havoc in the water. A hint of darkness appeared in his eyes.
"Gang Leader!"
Seeing how calm Lu Qingchuan was, Bai Moxuan said, "Yunting has the Juntian Token, and Hall Master Feng has found the location of the Lingyun Cave. If the two of them are in cahoots, wouldn't that mean …"
There was a hint of anxiety in Bai Moxuan's words.
"What's the hurry?"
Before Bai Moxuan could finish speaking, Lu Qingchuan interrupted him. "Look at the arowana in the lake. It's rampaging in the water, and all the small fishes and prawns have become its food …"
"But has it ever thought that we, the people standing on the surface of the water, don't want to swallow it into our stomachs?"
As he spoke, Lu Qingchuan flicked his wrist gently.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the fishing rod in his hand trembled and let out a sharp whistle.
The hook went deep into the water and pierced through the red arowana's body.
The red arowana was shocked when its body was pierced through by the hook. Its huge body moved and desperately swam into the water.
However, no matter how its huge body swam, it could not go down even an inch.
"A fish swimming in a boiling cauldron knows that there is no future for it. A bird in a precarious nest will not wait for the wind to blow!"
Seeing the red arowana struggling desperately, Lu Qingchuan shook his head and said, "Now that it knows that it's in danger, it's desperately trying to escape …"
"But can it escape?"
"Gang Leader, you mean …"
Looking at the huge red arowana struggling desperately, Bai Moxuan seemed to have understood something.
"Inform Lei Lingkong. Tell him to gather the men and prepare the carriage …"
At that moment, Lu Qingchuan's gaze shifted and he said, "I want to see the rumored Lingyun Cave!"
As he spoke, he flicked his wrist.
Splash!
Suddenly, a splash of water appeared.
The huge red arowana was pulled out of the water by Lu Qingchuan.
…
At the same time, at the Drunken Immortal Inn.
The Constable was dressed in plain clothes. He sat in front of a table and sipped his tea, looking extremely relaxed.
In front of him was Agy, who looked like he was about to break down.
"No, Sir Constable …"
Looking at the Constable in plain clothes, Agy said, "I've been sitting here for an hour and have drunk three pots of tea. What do you want?"
"That was just a small joke a few days ago. Everyone participated in it. You can't just take revenge on me alone, right?"
At that moment, Agy was helpless.
After breakfast today, the Constable gave Wang Ye ten taels of silver and asked to borrow Agy for the morning.
At first, Agy was quite happy. However, after being questioned by the Constable for an hour about everything from Buddhism to marriage, he felt that it was more comfortable to run errands …
"Brother Agy, what are you saying …"
Hearing Agy's words, the Constable smiled and said, "I can't thank you enough for helping me this time. Why would I take revenge on you?"
"I need to rest for a few days. I can't use my internal energy and I can't investigate the case."
"Since I have nothing to do, I can only come and chat with you …"
"Oh, so you're lonely?"
Hearing the Constable's words, Agy slapped his thigh and said, "You should've said so earlier!"
"If you're lonely, you should've gone to Old Money Grubber and asked him to take you to Yihong Brothel. There are all kinds of Russians and barbarians there."
"It doesn't matter if it's about life or romance. The girls there are all over the place!"
"If you like to play wild, you can play the pipa. Eighteen Touches is also catchy!"
At that moment, Agy just wanted to push the Constable away. He kept trying to arrange for the Constable to go to Yihong Brothel.
"What are you thinking …"
The Constable shook his head and said, "I'm a member of the Three Law Divisions. I'm supposed to uphold justice and get rid of evil. Yihong Brothel is a place for prostitution. I'll never go there …"
"Also, when did Eighteen Touches come with musical instruments?"
"Sigh, I've never been there either. I'm just saying …"
Hearing the Constable's words, Agy said, "On the other hand, Sir Constable, you're quite knowledgeable!"
While speaking, Agy's face showed a hint of playfulness.
"Sigh!"
The Constable took a sip of tea and said, "Although prostitution isn't clean, sometimes I have to sacrifice myself for the sake of solving cases and catching criminals."
"However, I've always been true to my heart and enforce the law impartially. I've never done anything that crosses the line."
"Just like the lotus standing in a pavilion, it's untainted by mud!"
Hearing this, A 'Ji rolled his eyes and was about to say something when he heard this.
"Brother Agy …"
At that moment, the Constable continued, "What kind of person do you think Shopkeeper Wang is?"
