Lu Jing and Qi Wenren, one was in charge of catching the fish, and the other was in charge of getting a pot from the kitchen.

In the end, they still met on the small bridge. Lu Jing put the re-caught fish into the iron pot and scooped half a pot of water from the pond.

The two of them did not do this to eat live fish stewed in an iron pot.

The main reason was that there were not many things nearby that could hold fish and were relatively easy to carry. After looking around, only this big pot was barely suitable.

Qi Wenren put on the lid, tied it with grass rope, and then carried his precious fish with Lu Jing back to the front yard.

Lu Jing's method of parachuting in before could no longer be used when going out.

But anyway, the things and people were already in hand, and they were about to leave Liangcheng, so Lu Jing didn't need to continue hiding his figure.

So he simply jumped over the wall and landed in front of a team of soldiers.

The soldiers were stunned when they saw Lu Jing, and then they grabbed their weapons. Some people even raised their voices to warn and call for nearby companions.

Coincidentally, the leader was the same person who drove Lu Jing away during the day.

He obviously recognized Lu Jing, his eyes widened, and he shouted, "It's you again, kid!"

However, he was not in a hurry to attack. Instead, he ordered his men to block Lu Jing's escape route, seemingly determined to keep Lu Jing here.

But then they saw Lu Jing just standing there, quietly watching them form an encirclement.

"You have some nerve, you asked for this!" The leader sneered again and again. After everyone was in place, he gave an order, and everyone drew their knives together.

Although they were not martial arts masters, the tacit understanding and discipline formed by years of training and fighting were extraordinary.

The momentum of the seven knives coming out together was extraordinary, but just as those iron knives were about to fall on Lu Jing, everyone suddenly felt their hands empty. When they came back to their senses, they saw that Lu Jing had clamped all seven knives under his arm.

The smile on the face of the leading captain instantly solidified.

A martial arts master?!

Fortunately, the nearby companions arrived quickly. After a while, two more teams arrived, and one of them was a team of archers, who had already bent their bows and aimed their arrows at Lu Jing.

But this time, Lu Jing still didn't dodge, letting the arrows shoot at him, landing on his body.

The soldiers on the side even thought they had succeeded, but they didn't expect that the arrows didn't pierce his flesh when they touched Lu Jing, but were bounced away one by one.

This... what kind of monster is this?!

Lu Jing threw out all the iron knives he had confiscated earlier, forcing back the people surrounding him, and then used his lightness skill to jump up, intending to jump onto a small building across the street.

But at this moment, a sinister voice sounded in his ear, "Want to leave? Not so easy."

After saying that, a figure like a roc flew out from a team of soldiers, seized the gap where Lu Jing was in mid-air and unable to dodge, and slapped Lu Jing's back heart hard.

Lu Jing, who was hit, flew forward at an accelerated speed like a ball.

Some people in the group of soldiers recognized the person who made the move and said excitedly, "Nima Dharma King, it's Nima Dharma King! That kid was injured by Nima Dharma King, everyone, hurry up and catch up."

However, before he could finish speaking, he heard a low shout, "Stop!"

The speaker was a scholar holding an iron fan. He stopped the soldiers who wanted to catch up, and then without much explanation, he walked to a bald-headed lama with big ears.

The lama's eyes were tightly closed, his face was pale, and he stood motionless in place, his whole person seemed to be petrified.

Without saying a word, the scholar placed a palm on the lama's chest.

After a while, wisps of white smoke rose from the heads of both of them, which was a sign that their internal strength had been pushed to the extreme.

After a full stick of incense, the lama reopened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood with a wow, his expression horrified, "What powerful internal energy!"

The scholar also retracted his power and sighed, "This person is definitely a first-class master, and not an ordinary first-class master. Such a person sneaks into the General's Mansion, I'm afraid he has a big plan."

After he said this, he saw that the butler's expression was a little strange, so he asked, "How is it? Have you found out who that person injured in the mansion?"

"No, that person didn't hurt anyone. He only took away Mr. An, who teaches the young master, and a carp. Oh, right, he also left a tael of silver on the bridge, saying it was for buying the fish."

"Carp?"

Nima Dharma King and the scholar couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.

… … … …

On the other side, Lu Jing had already reunited with Qi Wenren.

The latter's invisibility technique could only last for a while, and he had already reappeared not long after running out of the General's Mansion.

Fortunately, the whole process was thrilling but not dangerous, and he had just seen Lu Jing being hit in mid-air, and he had sweated for someone, but after seeing Lu Jing safe and sound, he let go of his hanging heart.

"Where do you live? Let's go over and stay for half the night, and leave early tomorrow morning when the city gate opens," Qi Wenren said, holding his iron pot.

But at this moment, Lu Jing thought of another question and said, "Master Qi, do you know anything about Shizhou and Tongtu Chief?"

"I don't know. I'm just a researcher. I came to Liangzhou to investigate that secret realm, but I accidentally discovered this carp," Qi Wenren replied.

"Well, I don't know anything about Shizhou and Tongtu Chief either. Wouldn't it be like groping in the dark if we just go over like this?" Lu Jing said, stroking his chin.

"Then what should we do?" Although Qi Wenren was a senior, just like he said, he usually only did research and didn't care much about other things, so when he encountered a problem, he subconsciously asked Lu Jing and didn't have any idea of making his own decisions.

"Let's find a guide. I know someone who should be very familiar with Shizhou."

"Who?"

"Clerk Luo, he is the clerk of Tongtu Chief. Whether it is Tongtu Chief or the situation in Shizhou, he should know it very well. With him, we can find fish more conveniently."

"That's good, but is he willing to go with us to find fish?" Qi Wenren said, "Or I can report to the Sitianjian and let the department find Clerk Luo's superior and ask him to come forward to persuade Clerk Luo…"

Speaking of this, Qi Wenren suddenly stopped, because he had realized that Clerk Luo's superior seemed to be Tongtu Chief.

"No need for such trouble, I'll persuade him," Lu Jing said, patting his chest.
