Chapter 1378: Big Spender

"My lord looks very calm today, with no emotions. I thought you must have some troubles." Medical Official Mu said truthfully.

Chen Guanlou pointed to his own face. "You didn't see it on my face?"

Medical Official Mu shook his head.

"Just because I am too calm and have no emotional fluctuations, you concluded I have troubles?"

Medical Official Mu was very confused. "Usually, when my lord has troubles, you also appear exceptionally calm. Is there a problem?"

Chen Guanlou laughed and waved his hand. "No problem. I thought my face was full of worries."

"That is not the case. My lord can rest assured. Those who don't understand my lord could never see anything on your face."

That is excellent!

Chen Guanlou was very satisfied.

He still doesn't show his emotions on his face, very good!

"There is an uncertain opportunity placed before me, requiring me to travel over mountains and through rivers to find it. Do you think I should go?"

"Does my lord need it? If you strongly need it, why not go? If you don't need it for the time being, you might as well not go."

"I feel it's not quite right yet, and I fear I'll make a wasted trip if I go." Chen Guanlou said truthfully.

This was the main reason he was truly hesitating about whether to go.

Medical Official Mu was family in his heart, someone who could commit capital crimes with him, so he spoke the truth in front of him without concealment.

"Since you cannot decide, why not let nature take its course? When you want to go, you will naturally go; if you truly don't want to go, no one can force you."

Chen Guanlou nodded, then shook his head.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "I want to go. After all, it is an opportunity, even if it is not yet certain. At least I should go and see it for myself, so I can give up on it."

"That is also fine!" Medical Official Mu nodded. "I don't understand the martial path, but I know that opportunities are hard to come by. If there truly is an opportunity, appropriate risk-taking is allowed. Moreover, my lord's cultivation is profound, so I think ordinary dangers cannot threaten you."

"I am not afraid of danger. It's just that the road is long and far, and I find it annoying!"

Chen Guanlou's laziness had struck; the Great Wilderness was too far.

At his speed, a one-way trip to the Great Wilderness would take at least ten days. Ordinary people would need at least several months. One can imagine how far it is.

According to Pure Yang Zhenren's introduction, there is nothing good in the Great Wilderness. If you go, you won't eat well or rest well, and even drinking water is a problem. Thinking about how inconvenient life is everywhere, he instantly didn't want to move.

Yet the opportunity is like bait, dangling in front of him.

He really admires those Jianghu heroes who wander the world every day, struggling even to drink a sip of hot water. That life has no hope at all. Yet they are tireless, wandering the Jianghu for years as if it were one day.

He couldn't do it!

By nature, he is lazy and gluttonous; even asking him to leave the capital makes him feel annoyed. For killing jobs, he would rather spend money to let Wang Hai or Eunuch Wang do it than move himself.

The Great Wilderness!

Just hearing the name is fatal.

But he still had to go.

After all, it is an opportunity!

Perhaps he is just one opportunity away from the Grandmaster Realm!

"The road is long and far, my lord just needs to endure it. With my lord's pace, no matter how far the road is, there will be a day you reach it."

Chen Guanlou nodded; he could only comfort himself this way.

When the three-day deadline arrived, the two hall masters of the evil sect ran to the Heavenly Prison at noon to pay a visit. They were filled with trepidation along the way, especially when they saw the Imperial Prison next to the Heavenly Prison, their whole bodies shivering.

Only until they entered the gate of the Heavenly Prison did they relax and let out a long sigh of relief.

Sure enough, they still had to meet at night.

Chen Guanlou greeted the two casually. "I agree to go and save your sect leader. I will leave in ten days."

"Many thanks to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen for your generous help. However, is ten days too long?"

Chen Guanlou did not bargain with them and said directly, "I will not travel with you; my pace is far faster than yours. Give me an address and arrange for people to meet me."

The two exchanged glances. "We will act according to Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen's wishes."

After saying this, the hall master surnamed Tan took out a waist token that looked like iron but wasn't from his bosom and handed it to him with both hands.

"This waist token is a token of trust. When Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen arrives at the place, take out this waist token, and our people will come out to meet you."

Chen Guanlou raised an eyebrow slightly. "Listening to you, you still have a branch in the Great Wilderness?"

"It makes Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen laugh; my sect does indeed have a contact point in the Great Wilderness, where we have developed a group of believers."

"Impressive people! You can even develop such a desolate place. You are truly people who do big things! I admire you!"

Chen Guanlou was sincerely admiring them.

This group of people, for the sake of rebellion, for the sake of so-called faith, could endure any hardship and any difficulty, all for the sake of the ideals in their hearts.

It must be admitted that Zhang Daohe's brainwashing ability was far higher than his martial cultivation.

"Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen praises us too much! My sect's holy fire will surely be ignited throughout the world!"

Chen Guanlou smiled. "I hope there will be such a day."

"At that time, I hope Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen can help my sect's great cause!"

"Easy to say, easy to say." Chen Guanlou laughed, his attitude very perfunctory.

The two hall masters stood on official territory, feeling very uncomfortable, their whole bodies itching.

Chen Guanlou asked them to stay for lunch, but the two hurriedly refused. They were afraid that if they were late, they would have to stay and eat prison food.

He did not force them to stay and asked the prison guards to send them out.

Mu Qingshan looked sneaky.

He ran to Chen Guanlou and whispered, "My lord, the student thinks the two people who just went out are a bit strange. Could they be big-time bandits?"

"Where did you see that they possess the temperament of big-time bandits?" Chen Guanlou asked curiously.

Mu Qingshan looked surprised. "They aren't big-time bandits? No wonder, I thought they looked like people who commit capital crimes."

"What kind of capital crimes?" Chen Guanlou was even more curious. He wanted to see how good Mu Qingshan's eye for detail was and when he had become so sharp.

"Could it be rebellion?" Mu Qingshan ventured a guess.

Chen Guanlou exclaimed, "Incredible."

"How can you tell?"

Mu Qingshan began to speak fluently. "I saw them enter the Heavenly Prison, and they were uncomfortable everywhere. It was as if standing on official territory was like death to them. I pondered, what kind of people are afraid of entering official territory?

If you say they are ordinary people, their temperament doesn't look like it. And their skin is tanned so dark, clearly not locals. If you say they are merchants, they don't have the shrewdness and neatness of merchants. And merchants advocate harmony to make money, but I saw those two were not very harmonious.

If you say they are Jianghu wanderers, it's a bit close. But their temperament is more subtle than Jianghu wanderers, and you can tell they don't want to attract attention. So I ventured a guess, could they be people who commit capital crimes."

This analysis was well-founded.

He has grown!

Chen Guanlou asked with a smile, "If those two are really people who commit capital crimes, what would you do?"

"Nothing! Just as my lord said, the Heavenly Prison is only responsible for guarding prisoners, not for investigating cases or catching people. Serving in the Yamen, the most important thing is not to overstep boundaries!"

Chen Guanlou was very gratified.

After so many years, the blockhead had finally opened up; it wasn't easy!

"Don't leave after work. I'll treat you tonight and take you to the brothel to have some fun."

"Is my lord serious? I won't be polite; I want to order the most beautiful girl."

"Feel free to order! Don't save money for me!" Chen Guanlou was happy and started spending money like water! ===== CHAPTER 1379 =====
