Night’s Nomenclature

Two hundred and eighty-one, Arowana and Dragon Lake

"Teacher, how about I come back to ask you questions later," Li Ke looked at Luan Fengfeng, the geography teacher.

He felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the office, so he had better not join in the fun at this time.

The geography teacher looked at Li Ke and said cheerfully: "Well, you go back to the main room first."

Li Ke turned back and went out, but he was cautious and did not leave immediately.

But I saw this 14-year-old boy hiding under the window outside the door, squatting and listening.

In the room, the four instructors sitting in the corner immediately stood up and stretched their muscles after Li Ke left.

The geography teacher wondered: "What on earth is going on with you? Why are you all sitting there...and why is the new fighting teacher Xi Qingchen sitting in your seat, Lao Zhou?"

Lao Zhou, Zhou Xingwen, mathematics teacher. .

At this time, Zhou Xingwen stood up and said: "Didn't we agree yesterday to give him a slap in the face? So after he came, we didn't prepare a desk for him, just to see what his reaction was. But we don't know where Li Changqing will be. The monster that we found somewhere has just been quiet for a few dozen minutes and finished reading all the textbooks in Li's school, and then it started to attack us."

Zhou Xingwen continued: "We first came up with the lowest-ranking test questions in high school, and they all controlled the score at 145. Then he gave us questions in turn, and Lao Liu and I couldn't do it at the same time."

Lao Liu, Liu Junkui, physics teacher.

Luan Fengfeng, the geography teacher, was stunned for a moment. He took one of the most difficult questions in the history of the IMO mathematics competition from Zhou Xingwen, and after looking at it for a long time, he didn't even understand the question.

It is said that although they teach different courses, at least they are all higher education talents who have obtained a master's degree in education from Qinghe University. They should be able to solve a high school math problem easily.

But now, I can’t even understand what the question is about.

Li Ke, who was squatting outside the window, was already filled with shock, like an undercurrent rolling under the sea level.

To be honest, he really didn't expect Qingchen to do so many things in one day.

First, he subdued the servants, and then took over the teachers' offices, so that the teachers didn't even have to sit at the table.

So arrogant!

The young Li Ke finally saw what it means to be arrogant!

No wonder when he entered the office just now, he felt Qingchen's aura suppressing the entire teaching office!

Thinking of this, Li Ke sneaked back to the hall. How could he not share such a festive event with other brothers and sisters?

At this time, Qingchen was walking on the path leaving Zhixin Courtyard.

The Mid-Levels Manor is lush and lush, and walking inside makes you feel like you are in a forest maze.

To put it simply, Qingchen was lost.

With his memory, he rarely got lost in his life.

However, he was brought here from the back mountain by Li Changqing in a floating car, so that he had never walked through the road to the entrance of Zhixin Courtyard.

Qingchen used the position of the sun to identify east, west, north and south, and walked in the general direction of Feiyun Villa.

However, he walked for an hour and couldn't even see the shadow of Feiyun Courtyard.

Along the way, Qingchen encountered more than ten hidden piles in the Mid-level Manor. Fortunately, Li Changqing gave him the electronic access control in advance, otherwise he might have been buried under a certain garden by now.

When he turned out of a certain path, his eyes suddenly opened up. In front of him was a wide pool of sparkling water.

Unexpectedly, there is such a huge artificial lake hidden in this mountainside manor.

Looking up, you can still see groups of fish swimming in the water.

There is a wooden bridge extending into the lake. An old man wearing a thick fur cloak is sitting quietly on a pony fishing.

There is no one around the lake, and the water is like a mirror.

This is a very artistic picture, a lone boat and a man with a coir raincoat fishing alone in the snow in the cold river.

It would be more artistic if the old man wasn't holding high-tech equipment.

Qingchen clearly saw that the old man was holding an LCD panel in his hand, which displayed the underwater situation and could even see whether there were fish biting the bait.

However, what made Qingchen a little curious was that the fish in the waters in the wilderness had become extremely ferocious.

But the fish in this lake seem to be normal.

There must be something unique about it.

He turned around and left. An old man suddenly appeared fishing alone in such a place. He must be an unusually important figure in the Li family.

However, just as Qingchen turned around, the old man said: "Come on, help me pull up the fish! Hurry up!"

Qingchen was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he found that a fish was already biting the hook in front of the old man. The old man was so weak that he couldn't even hold the fishing rod.

The old man turned back to look at him: "What about you, why are you standing there stunned?"

"Oh," Qingchen walked to the old man's side and grabbed the fishing line. He pulled the struggling fish out of the water with a hard pull.

"It's better to be young and have strong hands." The old man sat motionless on the horse next to him and asked with a smile: "Which family are you from? How come I haven't seen you before?"

Qingchen thought for a while and said, "I am the new teacher invited by Li Changqing to Zhixin Villa. I am not from the Li family."

"Oh?" The old man was stunned for a moment: "Let me tell you, Lao Li's family doesn't have such good genes to give birth to a handsome boy like you."

Qingchen was also stunned for a moment. Listening to the other party's tone, he was a little unsure whether the other party was from the Li family: "Aren't you from the Li family? Why do you say that about the Li family?"

The old man laughed happily and said, "I have sold my life to Mr. Li all my life. What's wrong with saying a few words about Mr. Li's family?"

Qingchen frowned and glanced at an eaves corner in the distance, where a forbidden object, the ACE-020 Heartless Bronze Bell, was hung on a red string under the eaves.

"What? Are you afraid that if I say something bad about Mr. Li, the bell will ring?" The old man laughed and said, "That thing is fake!"

"Ah?" Qingchen was confused: "There are so many copper bells hanging in Banshan Manor, are they all fake? It's impossible!"

"How is it impossible," the old man shook his head and said, "Things in this world are true and false, false and true, even the blood relationship between brothers can be false, let alone a taboo object?"

"I don't believe it," Qingchen shook his head.

"Hey, you don't even believe my words," the old man glared: "Let me tell you, there are only one pair of real Wuxin bronze bells, so now only the two hanging on the east side of Baopu Tower are Really. After the Li family received the Heartless Bronze Bell from the knight, the head of the Li family felt that the gift was too little, saying that his Mid-Levels Manor was so big that two Heartless Bronze Bells would not be enough? He had a dispute with the knight."

Qingchen was confused, what is the deceptive behavior of the head of the Li family, and he thought it was too little when someone gave him something forbidden...

Oh, he thought about it from his perspective. It’s true that no one can have too many taboo objects.

The old man continued: "The knight said, there are only two Wuxin Bells, do you want love?" However, in the end, the other party couldn't pester the head of the Li family, so he came up with an idea: How many Wuxin Bells are there? The outside world doesn't know. I know, if you build a few hundred more, we knights will also say a few hundred to the outside world, so that we can at least defend against villains."

Qingchen was speechless, this really looked like something the knights could do.

He was walking in the Mid-Levels Manor before, and he was worried that he had accidentally done something, causing the unintentional bells in the entire manor to ring.

As a result, it was all fake!

It's just that when the old man told these secrets, it was as if he had been present when Mrs. Li received the Wuxin bell as a gift. So who is the old man?

"Who are you and why do you know such a secret? And why do you want to tell me such a confidential matter?" Qingchen took off the hook of the huge and plump fish and asked calmly: "Is there something wrong? What a plot."

The old man raised his eyebrows: "As an old man who fishes steadily, what bad intentions can I have?"

"Okay," Qingchen said calmly, "I've caught the fish for you, and I'll leave now. I pretended not to have heard anything you said to me."

"Hey, you just walked away after hearing the story?" The old man said happily: "Then don't you want to know why the knight gave the head of the Li family the Wuxin bronze bell?"

Qingchen thought for a while: "Because Li Shutong, the contemporary knight leader, is from the Li family? This is not a big secret. I know it even if you don't tell me."

"Fart," the old man said: "When Li Shutong became a knight, this Wuxin bell had been hanging here for more than 20 years!"

"Oh?" Qingchen became interested.

"The Li family has been friends with knights for generations. That's because the Li family's ancestor was also a knight, named Li Yingyun." Seeing that Qingchen didn't know the secret, the old man immediately became interested in gossip.

Li Yingyun, this is the name Qingchen saw on the cliff of Qingshan.

He said as if he was taking Qing Chen to eat melons: "Don't you know this? Li Yingyun himself has no business talent, but his son is a business wizard. At that time, the northwest was not blocked by the forbidden land, this Li family The Wizards relied on traveling to the northwest and the Central Plains to expand Li's business little by little. Therefore, Li's business is related to the knights."

Qingchen suddenly felt that the old man had told him so much today, and it seemed that he only started to point out the topic here: the other party was telling him, consciously or unconsciously, that the relationship between Li and the knight was very good.

This made Qingchen wary. Did the other party know his identity? !

But who is this old man?

"I'm leaving, you can fish slowly," Qingchen turned and left.

But the old man grabbed his arm and said, "This arowana is for you. You can braise it in braised food at night. It's delicious."

Qingchen was surprised: "You caught it yourself, but you don't want to eat it?"

"The happiest moment of fishing is the moment when the fish bites the hook, not the process of eating the fish. Take it away," the old man said with a cheerful smile: "By the way, if you still want to hear gossip, come here to see me in the afternoon. I But knowing many secrets is enough for young people to benefit from for a lifetime."

Qingchen glanced at the monitor in the opponent's hand and thought to himself, how fun is this high-tech fishing?

He hesitated for a moment, but finally took the arowana from the other party's hand: "Thank you, see you soon."

On the way back, he kept thinking about the other party's identity.

First of all, there are two clues. First, the old man knows many secrets of the Li family, even Wuxin Tongling knows it.

Secondly, when the old man mentioned Li, he didn't show much respect.

At first Qingchen thought that the other party was the head of the Li family, but then he thought about it, hadn't the head of the Li family been critically ill many times? Probably not.

So, maybe the other party is the elder brother or younger brother of the head of the Li family, right? Because he failed to compete for the position of the head of the family, he was imprisoned in the mountainside manor.

Then because of his resentment towards the Li family, he told important secrets to outsiders. Maybe he wanted to use his own words to dispel the rumors about the Wuxin Bronze Bell and make the outside world less afraid of the taboo object of the Wuxin Bronze Bell?

Can't figure it out.

However, he had only walked two kilometers when he was stopped by someone.

The hidden stake that stopped him walked out of the woods and said to his communication headset: "Team leader, an unknown person was found here stealing arowana, please ask for support."

Qingchen: "???"

He looked back in the direction of the lake and thought to himself that this was too fucking stupid.

The old man couldn't be deliberately trying to trick him. The other party must have known that there would be problems if he carried the arowana through the market, so he insisted on giving the fish to him.

Old man, you are in big trouble.

Qingchen looked at the dark muzzle of the opponent's gun and raised his hands very wisely: "Hello, I am Xi Qingchen, the new teacher of Zhixin Villa. This arowana was given by others, not stolen by me."

The hidden stake did not approach rashly. While waiting for support, he asked: "Who sent it?"

"I don't know the name," Qingchen sighed, "but I didn't lie."

However, An Zhuang took an unknown instrument and pointed it at Qingchen and pressed it. Then, the electronic access control in Qingchen's phone fed back his identity information to the instrument.

Anzhuang breathed a sigh of relief, at least the identity of the new teacher at Zhixin Villa was not false.

Qingchen said seriously: "I know Li Changqing. Please invite her over. She can help me explain."

At this time, it would be the stupidest thing to resist the security system of the entire Mid-Levels Manor. If you have something to do with it, tell it immediately and don't create conflicts while you are idle.

Not long after, more than a dozen security guards surrounded him and escorted Qingchen to a small building in the garrison.

When the other party saw that he was cooperating, he didn't make things difficult, so he just waited for Li Changqing to come over and deal with it.

There are even people in the garrison who know him: "Qingchen? Are you the Qingchen who knocked down a bunch of servants this morning?"

"It's me," Qingchen sighed, still holding the dragon fish in his hand.

The security personnel at the garrison asked curiously: "Is your arowana really a gift from someone else?"

"Yes," Qingchen explained: "An old man was fishing by the lake. I was passing by, and he happened to catch one, and then gave me one as a gift. I now suspect that someone took advantage of my new arrival and didn't understand the rules, and deliberately Frame me! There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the mountainside manor, take a look at the surveillance cameras!"

"There is no surveillance in Longhu. You are new here, but you don't know. Opposite Longhu is the owner's Baopu Building. Even we are not qualified to get close." The security guard was stunned for a moment: "There are real experts guarding there, no. We need people like us in the garrison. I don’t know where the master is today, otherwise you should feel lucky to be alive, let alone stealing fish."

"A real master? I haven't seen one either," Qingchen was already suspicious: "Is this arowana precious?"

"Of course, this dragon fish is the most precious thing of the family owner. It is also a precious species that a certain knight brought back from the forbidden land. Even if it is caught, it must be released," the man at the garrison explained.

Qingchen picked up the arowana in his hand: "It? It was caught in a forbidden place? Where is it so precious?"

"I heard that the arowana will not take the initiative to bite people," the security guard said, "so it is born with spirituality."

Qing Chenxin said that fish won’t bite, how strange it is, because most fish in the world don’t take the initiative to bite!

However, he also thought that if this dragon fish was really the descendant of the species in the Forbidden Land, then it would be a bit novel that it didn't bite people.

At this moment, an aerial vehicle stopped outside the garrison. As soon as Li Changqing got off the car, he saw the arowana in Qingchen's hand: "Why did you even catch the arowana? I asked you why you were captured and brought to the garrison. "

The man at the garrison said: "Miss Changqing... you also know that stealing the dragon fish is not a trivial matter, and we don't dare to let him go privately. Why don't you tell the higher ups? We need an order from the Privy Council. That’s why I dared to let him go.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in the garrison rang. It was the internal line of the Privy Council Office.

The man at the garrison picked up the phone and subconsciously glanced at the caller number: "Hello, how are you?"

"Let him go," the other person on the phone simply said two words and then hung up.

"Who?" Li Changqing asked.

"Privy Council Office," the man from the garrison asked curiously, "Miss Changqing, have you greeted the Privy Council Office in advance?"

Li Changqing did not answer, but led Qingchen away.

Sitting in the floating car, Li Changqing suddenly asked solemnly: "I heard that an old man gave you the fish with his own hands?"

"Yes," Qingchen nodded. He thought about it and suddenly said: "The other party also told me that there are only two heartless copper bells in Banshan Manor. They even told me who gave them to them. You know this? Who is this person?"

Li Changqing glanced at Qingchen thoughtfully: "What else did he say?"

"He also said that he would let me go fishing with him when I was free. I would help him catch fish and he would tell me the secret," Qingchen said calmly.

"Then you just do what he said," Li Changqing said, "There are no classes in the school, so you can go to Longhu for a walk if you have nothing to do. No one will stop you."

Qingchen fell into deep thought. Li Changqing seemed to have guessed something, but had no intention of telling him.

At this time, only Li Changqing knew that she had never contacted the Privy Council before coming. Logically, the Privy Council should not know in advance that someone was stealing the arowana.

You must know that within the Li family, the Privy Council is the most authoritative central organization under the family head. Even Li Changqing has no authority to intervene in many administrative orders issued from there.

Half of Li's intelligence agency is in the hands of Li Changqing, and the other half is in this Privy Council Office.

Who can ask the Privy Council to call the Garrison Office directly? There are no more than three such powerful figures in the Li family.

"By the way, why did the old man give you the dragon fish?" Li Changqing asked curiously: "Did he tell it the role?"

"No," Qingchen replied, "He just told me to braise it and eat it. It's delicious."

Li Changqing was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "Eat it braised in brown sauce?"

"That's right," Qingchen thought of the ginkgo given by the old guys in Forbidden Land No. 002. He said that there were many strange things in the Forbidden Land, and he didn't know if eating this arowana would have any magical effects.
