"There are many storms and waves on the sea, and there are many bumps along the way. I know this well."
On the carriage engraved with the seal of the Capital Inspection Office, Lin Youxie spoke seriously.
"If I accidentally have an accident, no matter how sudden it is, I have ten thousand ways to leave the truth behind. As you know, my family has been a top hunter for several generations, so it is inevitable that there are some unknown methods."
Jiang Wang, who was closing his eyes to rest, opened his eyes helplessly: "...Captain Lin is overthinking. You and I have no grudges, and I will not do such a thing."
Lin Youxie responded with a smile: "There is no grudge or enmity now, but who can say for sure what will happen in the future? I am just taking this position just in case."
This kind of polite smile that cannot be faulted can be really annoying sometimes.
Jiang Wang was silent for a while and said, "I hope there is no resentment!"
Lin Youxie has a very good attitude and is willing to submit anytime and anywhere: "Of course, my subordinates also expect this."
"Actually, you don't have to stare at me like this. There are so many people with evil intentions in the world, and there are so many secrets waiting for you to discover." Jiang Wang said seriously: "It's just a waste of time on me."
"Sir, what are you talking about?" Lin Youxie blinked: "I am accompanying you this time, just to study hard with you."
"..." Jiang Wang said seriously: "I am not a bad person."
"Of course, of course, I believe it." Lin Youxie said perfunctorily without sincerity. Seeing Jiang Wang's expression, he couldn't help but add: "Good people may not do bad things."
"Who decides whether it's a good thing or a bad thing?" Jiang Wang asked.
Lin Youxie's expression was very serious at this moment: "We Qingpai head catchers only follow the law and do not judge good or bad."
Jiang Wang looked at her steadily for a while, and saw something extraordinarily determined in the eyes of this female youth catcher.
"whatever."
Finally he gave up his efforts, leaned against the side wall of the carriage, and closed his eyes again.
The horses' hooves clattered and the carriage rumbled away.
The shortest route from Linzi to the offshore islands is to go directly through Biwu County and out to sea via Linhai County.
Jiang Wang is no stranger to Linhai County.
Earlier when he first came to Qi State, he came to Linhai County. Tianfu City, which controls the Tianfu Secret Realm, is in this county.
The mysterious and terrifying leader of the watchmen also killed a Yama who has no gate to hell in Linhai County.
This county has always been at the forefront of exchanges with offshore islands.
Therefore, Jiang Wang was previously wondering why this county was not heavily garrisoned, so that Yama, who has no gate to hell, would use this place as a breakthrough point.
After learning about the Hai Clan, I finally had the answer in my mind.
If the Qi State stationed a large army in Linhai County, it would inevitably arouse the vigilance of Diaohailou. Under the premise that both sides need to cooperate against the Hai clan, internal strife is absolutely undesirable.
In comparison, garrisoning troops on the islands operated by Qi State is a much more cost-effective option.
On the contrary, Linhai County is open and tolerant.
This can also be reflected in the name of the county. For example, before the annexation of Yangdi, the western border counties of Qi State were called "Dingyao" and "Pingxi", because Yangguo was once very powerful and was a target that Qi State needed to be wary of.
Another example is that the border county in the south is called "Shimen". What is a gateway? It certainly has the meaning of alertness and resistance.
The border county on the offshore side is called "Linhai", which has only one word "lin" and is not offensive at all.
There are thirteen piers in Linhai County, with ships coming and going day and night.
With a letter from the Capital Inspection Office, the journey was smooth, and the two green-branded captains easily took the boat out to sea.
It's not that you can't fly.
First, like the land forces, flights are prohibited in the airspace of each island.
Secondly, Jiang Wang has a mission on this trip, and keeping a low profile is the first priority.
The first stop for the two young men to catch their heads was Haimen Island.
Haimen Island is a long and narrow island. It is not the first island after going out to sea, but it is the first island with a large-scale human settlement after going out to sea. It is also the largest neutral island offshore and does not belong to any one force.
It was formed under the tacit understanding between Qi Guo and Diaohailou.
It is called "Sea Gate" because it is the last gateway for human beings to face the sea.
When the monks went to the sea, they fought all the way back from Haimen Island, and finally drove the sea tribe back and re-established a defense line in the Mysterious Realm.
Jiang Wang originally wanted to go directly to the island run by the Chongxuan family, visit Chongxuan Sheng's uncle Chongxuan Minghe, and seek help from the Chongxuan family overseas. But because Lin Youxie followed him, he stopped at Haimen Island first.
Come down.
He planned to deal with his Qingpai mission first. With Lin Youxie around, it would be inconvenient to do many things about rescuing Zhu Biqiong.
No matter what, as long as the Golden Needle Sect case is concluded, Lin Youxie will have no reason to continue following him.
Regardless of whether he has a cold face or loses his temper, we must drive away this entangled female catcher. Of course, if we can get rid of her before the case is completed, that would be the best.
"How do you plan to get started, Master Jiang?"
Walking on the streets of Haimen Island, Lin Youxie asked.
The entire Haimen Island is full of shops. There are no sects, countries, or powers here, only business.
This is also an island that people who go to sea will never miss.
"What do you think of Mr. Lin?" Jiang Wang asked back.
Lin Youxie laughed again: "I'm here to learn from Master Jiang."
"When studying, you should have a correct attitude and study hard." Jiang Wang scolded with a straight face: "Ask less and read more."
Regarding the Golden Needle Gate case, in fact, he didn't have a clear idea. Originally, this case was just an excuse for him to go to sea. His real purpose was always on Huai Island, and all his energy was spent thinking about Zhu Biqiong.
How to hunt down Wu Yiyu? I have no time to think about it now.
Of course, as a Shangguan, it is reasonable to put on airs.
How can any lower official ask the superior official about his strategy?
Seeing how skillfully Jiang Wang put on his airs, Lin Youxie twitched the corner of his mouth, but still managed a smile: "Your Majesty, Youxie has learned a lesson."
"Go and book a room with me first so that you can rest easily." Jiang Wang ordered naturally: "I will take a look around here and observe the situation."
Lin Youxie's eyebrows twitched, but she still said: "Okay."
Jiang Wang glared at her rudely: "Why don't you do it?"
Lin Youxie grinned: "Go now."
She walked a few steps and then turned back: "Mr. Jiang, how about the Fuxing Inn on the street in front? I heard it's Diaohailou's business, so you don't have to worry about safety issues."
Obviously, she is much more familiar with offshore islands than Jiang Wang.
But Jiang Wang just waved his hand and said impatiently like shooing away flies: "I am busy with the case, so don't cause trouble for such a small matter. You decide for yourself."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, it's my subordinates who have disturbed me. Please continue to observe the situation." Lin Youxie was still able to laugh, turned around and strode away.
Looking at that posture, she seemed to be the winner.
Also, if Jiang Qingyang, who was overwhelming Wang Yiwu, was made as angry as a child, how could it not be her victory?
Oh, I can't cure you. Looking at Lin Youxie's back as he strode away, Jiang Wang first sneered in his heart, but his pride soon disappeared.
Walking alone on the streets of Haimen Island, I let out a long sigh.
In any case, no matter how powerful he was, in fact, even though he made things difficult for him along the way, he still couldn't get rid of Lin Youxie.
Being stared at by such a green boss, he didn't dare to move at all.
