Liang Qu stopped rocking the oar and waited for the arrival.
After getting closer, I realized that the person was standing on an extremely long and narrow canoe, which looked a bit like a one-man rowing boat, but slightly wider. The side was hung with things similar to fishing rods.
But these are not the point. The point is that the opponent can quickly approach him without shaking the oar!
He is a master!
Liang Qu felt awe-struck and became vigilant.
Ordinary people don't have the ability to control water, so it must be some kind of special power to be able to do it without wind.
Thinking about it, he should have noticed when he was called - the sound that an ordinary person can make in an open area reaches a hundred meters into the sky. Previously, the other party was at least one mile away from him, but the sound was extremely clear.
With Liang Qu's current strength, he is a little inferior in terms of means. Fortunately, his foundation is strong enough, and he is about 50-50 equal to the martial arts master who is new to Benma. However, on the river, it is not impossible to give Benma Perfection a try.
The visitor was around thirty years old, between young and middle-aged. He was dressed in gray clothes embroidered with gold patterns.
But warriors cannot judge their age simply by their appearance. Some people may be in their early fifties if they look young.
Arriving in front of Liang Qu, Xu Yuelong cupped his hands and said, "Little brother, do you know which direction Pingyang County is? How far away is it?"
"That way, it's almost twelve miles away."
Liang Qu stretched out his hand.
"Thanks for the guidance, little brother." Xu Yuelong cupped his hands and was about to leave when he accidentally glanced at Liang Qu twice, revealing his surprise.
Then he looked carefully up and down and saw that the fishing gear on the boat was complete, and he was quite curious, "My little brother was born a fisherman? He has good kung fu training? He became a warrior and went out to fish? He should be able to find other better jobs, right?"
Liang Qu became increasingly vigilant.
The other party could actually tell at a glance that he had practiced martial arts.
He thinks that his level of Qi concentration is pretty good, and unless he is in the Wolf Smoke realm, he shouldn't be able to easily tell that he is hesitant.
Great master!
Unexpectedly, the other party's next performance left Liang Qu confused.
After Xu Yuelong finished his own analysis, he couldn't help but nod, and took the boat around the boat: "A warrior born as a fisherman is not bad."
He got off the boat and went fishing alone in a small boat. He was fascinated by fishing. When he realized it, the fleet had disappeared.
Xu Yuelong didn't have a map with him, so he could only set up his boat and walk along the direction in his memory. It took him a long time to see the figure, and he thought about asking for directions. It was such a coincidence that he met a good seedling.
He is so young, he is a fisherman, and his energy and blood are not bad, so he is a natural candidate for becoming a river official!
I was worried that I didn't have enough manpower, and it was perfect to have local people in front of me.
Xu Yuelong extended an invitation: "Are you interested in coming to Hebosuo? I'll start as a junior official. If I work for a few more years, I might be able to become a river chief. That's a serious official position."
Hebo? !
Is it such a coincidence?
Liang Qu was quite surprised: "Dare I ask, sir?"
"The new deputy chief of Pingyang County Hebo Office, Xu Yuelong." Xu Yuelong lifted up a corner of his clothes, revealing a waistband with a large word "Xu" painted on it.
My boss?
Liang Qu was confused.
Counting the days, the officials from the Hebo Station should indeed arrive in the next two days.
But he didn't know why it was such a coincidence that he met him just after he went out!
Are all the people in the riverside resort so stylish, floating on the river with a small boat?
Liang Qu quickly bowed and took out a similar-shaped Hebo waist badge: "Liang Qu, the new Hebo of the Hebo Institute, has met Mr. Xu."
Xu Yuelong glanced at his badge: "Liang Qu, Yang Dongxiong's disciple of Uncle Yang?"
The other party's name for Master Yang was strange, but Liang Qu nodded: "Exactly."
Xu Yuelong was very surprised.
He came out today casually, and meeting Liang Qu was a coincidence among coincidences.
It is impossible to fake your identity to have a chance encounter!
The fisherman in front of me is really a disciple of Yang Dongxiong!
Thinking of the Di newspaper he had read before, Xu Yuelong was overjoyed: "The person who invented Pinyin is you, boy. I told you why warriors come to fish. The feelings are ours."
Liang Qu didn't quite understand, what are you talking about?
Seeing Liang Qu's confusion, Xu Yuelong explained: "My father is Guanying Bo Xu Wenzhu, and my grandfather is Wei Guogong Xu Youguang. Back then, Uncle Yang risked his life to save my father on the battlefield. As long as I can remember, my father has been Let me call you Uncle Yang.
Later, Uncle Yang's second son died on the battlefield. He wanted to retire and return home, which was my father's final approval. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Uncle Yang to retire given his strength at the time. "
I see!
Liang Qu suddenly realized.
He knew that Master Yang had previously worked under General Xu Wenzhu, but he did not expect that Master Yang had such a glorious past, nor did he expect that his superior would have such a connection with him.
Good thing!
What a great thing!
His boss called his master uncle. If Liang Qu had such a strong relationship in his previous life, he would have risen to prominence long ago, and he would not have become an overtime dog who would come and go as soon as he was called.
Xu Yuelong sighed: "What a pity."
Liang Qu secretly felt bad, why was there a twist?
"Originally, I was supposed to be on the receiving end of the promotion, but I never thought that someone would step in and become a deputy."
"Originally?"
Liang Qu smelled the smoke.
Xu Yuelong sat on his boat, took out a fishing rod from the side, hung up the bait skillfully, and threw it into the river. He patted the hull of the boat and motioned to Liang Qu to sit down and chat together.
Liang Qu sat on the bow of his awning boat and listened to Xu Yuelong's words.
"Do you think the Ghost Mother Cult can win against Dashun?"
"Of course it's impossible. The ghost mother can't teach you how to survive tomorrow. You can only survive by hiding in the water."
"So this is a winnable battle, right?"
Liang Qu nodded, then shook his head.
"Oh? What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?"
"From the perspective of the general trend, it is indeed a must-win battle, but from the perspective of specific things, it is not necessarily true. At that time, Wei Guogong did not do his best, and the water was difficult to attack. On the one hand, there were three nails on the ghost mother's dead ship. On the other hand, if it were really that easy to deal with, the imperial court would not have set up Pingyang County or even Pingyang Prefecture in the future."
Xu Yuelong laughed: "You have some insights, have you read a book?"
"Reading for half a year."
"Well, that's true, but in the final analysis, Dashun can only win this battle, but who will take the credit for winning?"
Liang Qu's thoughts were like lightning: "Does everyone regard bandit suppression as a fat job?"
Xu Yuelong nodded: "That's it. My father asked me to be the leader of Hebo Station just because he wanted to receive some merit. It was supposed to be a decision, but Duke Liang interfered and sent his grandson. Now that I'm claiming it, I can only be the second in command."
Liang Qu was a little confused. He was studying in an academy and knew about Dashun's court relations.
If I remember correctly, Duke Liang should not be as powerful as Duke Wei, right?
The Duke of Wei was a duke who was conferred at the beginning of the founding of the country, while the Duke of Liang was a duke who made meritorious service later. The gold content is completely different. How could Xu Yuelong be dethroned so easily?
"I guess you're wondering why I got pushed down so easily, right?"
Liang Qu nodded.
"The reason is very simple, that is, my grandfather is more powerful than Duke Liang, and my grandfather's sons are also more powerful than Duke Liang's sons, so they cannot defeat Duke Liang. Can you understand?"
Liang Qu thought for a while and came to some realization.
That's what feelings are like.
It's too powerful, but it can't steal the less powerful one.
After all, it is the emperor who is in charge.
"If you want me to be the leader, you will feel comfortable. Unfortunately, Duke Liang's grandson is difficult to deal with!"
