At this moment, three hundred miles to the south,
Beneath Jing Mountain,
Alongside Nu River,
A burly man with a twisted beard stood on the riverbank, his hands clasped behind his back.
Gazing at the tumultuous river waters flowing eastward, his brow furrowed in worry.
If Chen Yuan were here, he would surely recognize that this person was none other than Qin Hu, the Mountain Patrol Military Officer from White Emperor City.
Qin Hu felt he had particularly bad luck.
He had just left for official business to Qingshan County, and on his way back, he received a secret order from the Prefecture.
Once again, he traveled the dusty roads to arrive at Jing Mountain.
All for the investigation of the "Night Navigation Ship" case.
A rumor had circulated nearby in recent days, claiming that if one were to board a ship that sailed at night, one could gain enlightenment.
It attracted a swarm of worldly society's martial artists.
