The Elixir is for You, The Poison is for Me

#620 - Watching fish

Lu Jing brought Fire-element Sun and the fake Han Shan Guest to Qinglong寨, and asked Ge Ping to find an empty room to lock them up.

There was no source of fire in the room, and three teams of guards and eight large water tanks were set up outside.

The guards patrolled in shifts, monitoring Fire-element Sun and the fake Han Shan Guest in the room, while also preventing others from approaching.

As for the water tanks, they were to ensure that when Fire-element Sun turned into a fire man, the flames on his body could be extinguished as soon as possible.

In short, all possible protective measures were used.

Lu Jing estimated that his trip to find Qi Wenren would not take too long, at most a day or two, and then he would consider how to deal with these two guys.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, Lu Jing returned to Liang City again.

He went straight to Le Shaobai's residence.

Compared with the loose defense outside Luo Changshi's courtyard, the General's Mansion of Le Shaobai was obviously more heavily guarded. Lu Jing turned around and found no dead ends.

In other words, it was almost impossible to get in without alarming anyone.

Moreover, he only wandered around the nearby streets for a while, and immediately attracted the attention of the nearby soldiers, and soon someone walked towards him.

Lu Jing stood still.

The leader shouted, "You look suspicious, you don't look like a good person. Could you be assassins sent by those foreign people?!"

"This big brother misunderstood. I'm here to find a friend."

"This is the General's Mansion, there is no friend of yours here." The leader looked unkind.

Lu Jing didn't take it seriously, "My friend is called An Shi, I wonder if I can trouble you to pass the message."

"I said, there is no friend of yours here. If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude."

After the leader finished speaking, several people behind him took a half step forward, pretending to draw the blades from their waists.

Lu Jing didn't want to cause trouble, and when he saw this, he didn't say much, and left on his own initiative.

After that, he was not in a hurry, and found a quiet place to practice his flying sword, until his secret power was almost exhausted, and then he opened his eyes.

At this time, it was already the third quarter of the Zi hour. Because of the curfew, the streets were particularly quiet, except for the occasional patrol team, there was no one else.

Lu Jing directly climbed onto the roof from the window of the inn he was staying in, and then looked up at the sky.

The result was similar to what he had observed before. There was no moon tonight, which was very suitable for a walk.

So Lu Jing walked all the way from the inn where he lived to the outside of the General's Mansion.

I have to say that Le Shaobai's army management is indeed excellent. Even at night, the soldiers outside his mansion are still well-organized. No wonder those foreign people have not been able to find any advantage every time they come to harass.

However, as long as it is a person, there will always be times of slackness.

Especially in the dead of night, the eyes are empty, and people's spirits will subconsciously relax.

However, Lu Jing was a little embarrassed at this time. It stands to reason that if a person's lightness skill has been cultivated to the Great Perfection realm, there should be no problem in dealing with such a situation.

However, Lu Jing's lightness skill is relatively special, and the movement is too loud.

As long as he exerts his strength, as long as he is not deaf, he can basically hear it clearly across two streets, even if he is not seen, it is meaningless.

Fortunately, this problem is no longer difficult for Lu Jing now. He scanned around and found the tallest sycamore tree outside the General's Mansion, and then used his hands and feet to climb up.

At the beginning, the trunk was very thick, so naturally it could withstand Lu Jing's weight, but as he climbed higher and higher, the branches became thinner and thinner, and it seemed that they could break at any time.

So Lu Jing pinched a hand seal and chanted words in his mouth.

After a while, his body became lighter, like a feather.

— Light Body Technique.

Lu Jing had previously selected two small spells from Xia Huai's notes to practice, and this was one of them.

As the most widely recognized and most frequently used low-level spell in the cultivation world, Lu Jing finally added it to his skill panel.

As soon as he landed, Lu Jing immediately rolled and hid behind a flower bed. As soon as he lowered his body, a team of soldiers walked past the place where he had stood before.

Lu Jing waited for a while, until those people walked away, then he stood up from behind the flower bed and continued to move forward.

Le Shaobai's mansion adopted a defense strategy of tight outside and loose inside. This can ensure safety without affecting the normal life of the people in the mansion.

So after passing several checkpoints, Lu Jing's pressure was much less.

So now the only problem left for him is where to find Qi Wenren.

Le Shaobai's General's Mansion is much larger than the mansion where Luo Changshi lived. Lu Jing walked around for a while and felt a little dazed, mainly because he was an outsider and couldn't tell where was where.

During this period, he even made a joke of wanting to go to the guest room but instead went into the kitchen.

This also made Lu Jing feel that he should find someone to ask. The maids and wet nurses in the inner house should be more talkative than the soldiers outside.

As long as he finds someone to ask where Qi Wenren lives, and then knocks him unconscious, it is much more reliable than Lu Jing wandering around and trying his luck.

Just thinking about it, Lu Jing saw a light ahead.

The light came from a lantern, and the person holding the lantern was on a small bridge at this time, looking around, looking like he was looking for something.

Taking advantage of the man's distraction, Lu Jing sneaked to his side, and was about to strike, but stopped again.

Then he tentatively shouted, "Master Qi?"

The man casually responded with a "Hmm", and then looked up in surprise, "Who are you?"

"Disciple Lu Jing of the academy, under the order of Supervisor Huang, is here to invite Master Qi back to the academy." After Lu Jing finished speaking, he paused and said, "Master Qi, can I see your right hand?"

"Oh." Qi Wenren heard the words and stretched out his right hand very cooperatively.

Lu Jing saw the three moles on the back of his hand, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that this trip to Liangzhou is much smoother than he imagined. Although there was a small accident in the middle, it didn't take too much time to find the target of this trip.

"It's not too late, Master Qi, let's set off now."

However, Qi Wenren said after hearing the words.

"I'm not leaving."

"Why?" Lu Jing was stunned.

"Because I'm busy."

"Busy with what?"

"Watching fish."

"Watching fish?" Lu Jing also stretched his head over and looked under the bridge, and saw a few carp swimming around in the pond, but he couldn't see anything different.

Could it be because of the blessing of the General's Mansion that Qi Wen Shi felt that these fish were particularly good-looking.

Lu Jing didn't bother to guess the reason, and simply said, "Master Qi, which one do you like? Let's pack it up and take it back to watch slowly."
