Chapter 443: Carp Leaping Over the Dragon Gate 3
Finding Longmen may mean being able to realize his dream. At Hongyu's suggestion, Lan Ge decided to look for Jiang Longwang first, hoping to get some clues.
Lan Ge carefully searched for traces of the Crystal Palace along the rocks and sand at the bottom of the river.
He swam through patches of water plants and explored caves, but he still could not find any trace of the Crystal Palace.
During the search, Lan Ge did not forget to ask the fish passing by, hoping that they could provide some clues.
But most of the fish said that they had never seen any Crystal Palace.
Lan Ge was not discouraged. He always believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to find clues.
He even tried to sense changes in the water flow, hoping to find a secret passage leading to the Crystal Palace.
After a long period of searching, Lan Ge felt physically and mentally exhausted. His body felt unable to cope after the continuous searching.
"Where exactly is the Crystal Palace?"
Lan Ge began to doubt whether the Crystal Palace really existed or if he had gone in the wrong direction.
He stopped, and finally, Lan Ge decided to temporarily give up the search for the Crystal Palace and returned to the Bi Bo Valley.
Lan Ge was somewhat unwilling to accept the fact. He always felt that he should be able to find the Crystal Palace. Unfortunately, his efforts were in vain.
"Lange, don't be discouraged. I believe you can find Longmen."
Hongyu comforted Lan Ge. She had confidence in Lan Ge because he was the most powerful carp.
Lan Ge's eyes lit up, "Yes, I will definitely find the Dragon Gate. It doesn't matter if the Crystal Palace is gone. Maybe it has been moved away."
With Hongyu's encouragement, Lan Ge decided to re-plan his search plan.
He decided to go to the deep sea to look for Longmen, maybe the fish there would know something.
Lan Ge left without hesitation. After saying goodbye to Hongyu and other friends, he embarked on a journey to the deep sea.
The Bi Bo River is quite far away from the deep sea. Lan Ge went ashore and turned into a handsome young man.
His long golden hair sparkled in the sun, his lips were red and his teeth were white, he looked like a young man walking out of a painting.
Lan Ge looked at the Bi Bo River, wiped away the reluctance in his heart, and strode forward.
...
Xiaoying and Xuanlin were walking arm in arm in the middle of the road, holding roast chicken in their hands, staggering and burping.
"Xuanlin, this wine tastes good, right? I'll take you to find good wine next time."
Xuan Lin's face flushed, but he still nodded.
"Boss, let's bring some back to the master."
Xiaoying shook her head and then nodded.
"Let's go listen to some music first, and then go back after we sober up."
Xiaoying hasn’t had enough fun yet, so she doesn’t want to go back so soon.
The two of them walked towards the theater. Recently they had become fascinated with listening to music. The actors' humming and singing were so beautiful that even if they couldn't understand a word, they still sounded great.
“Tick-tick…tick-tick…”
The sound of a group of galloping horses was heard, and the road was quickly cleared. The people with good sense moved to the sides.
These high officials and nobles have been domineering for a long time and we cannot afford to offend them.
"Step aside!"
The people behind him shouted loudly and cracked their whips.
Xiaoying and Xuanlin seemed not to have heard it and continued to stagger forward, laughing from time to time.
"Boss, I think I heard someone calling us."
Xuan Lin looked at the people on both sides, feeling puzzled. He looked at the wide road and became even more puzzled.
What are these people doing standing on both sides?
Xiaoying pulled Xuanlin and muttered something.
"Xuanlin, I want to sleep, please support me."
Xuan Lin tightened his arms and the two walked slowly.
"court death!"
The horse finally came closer, and the knight on horseback roared, and his whip drew a sharp arc in the air, about to fall on Xiaoying and Xuanlin.
The two seemed completely unaware of the approaching danger and were still immersed in their own world, staggering along and occasionally letting out carefree laughter.
At this moment, a figure rushed out like an arrow. Lan Ge appeared from nowhere. He swung a whip in his hand, blocked the horse whip, and pulled Xiaoying and Xuanlin aside.
The horsewhip brushed past the corners of their clothes and they narrowly avoided it.
"You two, don't you want to die?"
There was a hint of blame in Lan Ge's voice. These two people didn't look like human beings. They actually allowed ordinary people to bully them. It was really a shame for the monsters.
His eyes were sharp as he swept over those arrogant knights, and he was mentally prepared for a fight.
Xiaoying and Xuanlin finally came to their senses. They looked at Lan Ge with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"Oops, we didn't mean to do that. We just had a few drinks and didn't expect this to happen."
Their faces were flushed, obviously they were still drunk.
Xuan Lin bowed and saluted, "Thank you for saving me, brother."
Lan Ge's expression looked better. These two monsters should be youngsters who have just come out to gain experience and don't know the rules very well.
In the future, he will just coach them.
The leading knight sneered: "Where did you come from, kid? How dare you meddle in our business?"
There was disdain in his eyes, and it was obvious that he did not take Lan Ge seriously.
"When you see injustice, you should draw your sword to help. You are so tyrannical, don't you think there is no law?"
The knights were furious when they heard this and raised their weapons. "The king's law? I am the king's law."
Just as a fight was about to break out, a team of police officers suddenly appeared and their arrival broke the deadlock.
The officers quickly took control of the situation and surrounded the knights. It was obvious that they had received some news and had come to maintain order.
"What are you doing?"
The leading officer shouted, "How dare you commit a crime in broad daylight in a busy city? Arrest them all."
When the man on horseback saw the officers coming, his heart tightened. He quickly took out an exquisite token from his bosom and held it high so that everyone could see it clearly.
There was a striking word "Hou" engraved on the token, and he shouted loudly to the official.
"Please calm down, sir. We are all family."
The officer's eyes fell on the token, and his brows slightly frowned, but soon relaxed. He waved his hand to signal his men to stop, and his tone became much more relaxed.
"Since the Marquis' Mansion has something to do, I will not keep you any longer."
The man on horseback felt relieved, bowed to the officer, and then glared at Xiaoying and the other two.
Then he waved his whip and hurried away with his men. The sound of horse hooves gradually faded away and disappeared at the end of the street.
The officer looked at Xiaoying and the other two and didn't say anything. He waved his hand and hurried away with his men to continue their patrol mission.
The streets were bustling again, as if the previous incident was just a small episode.
Lan Ge pulled Xiaoying and Xuanlin towards the teahouse next to them.
"You guys come with me."
Xiaoying and Xuanlin followed behind in confusion. What did this carp spirit want to do?
However, the two of them tacitly did not speak and walked through the teahouse lobby, which was already full of guests drinking tea and chatting.
