The next morning.
A gigantic snake body dozens of meters long lay across the pier, with bright red flesh and blood exposed at the break. It had not dimmed due to the river breeze that had blown all night, and you could even faintly see it beating.
The vitality of the big spirit is evident.
The fishermen who were supposed to get out of the boat surrounded the big snake and marveled at it, completely forgetting what they were going to do when they went out in the morning.
"Snake meat is very nourishing."
"Is it the one you talked about yesterday?"
"It looks like dark green to me. This color is rare. It should be a snake. It can't be wrong."
Li Libo, who was standing next to the big snake, smiled and said, "It depends on what Ah Liang's father says. Is he here?"
"I don't know. The young man has fast feet. He should be here soon."
During the question and answer, there was a lot of noise from the long street.
"I'm coming!"
"A Liang's father is here, come on, come and see if it's the other end!"
Ah Liang's father had wooden boards tied to his arms. He was walking down Qingshi Street with Ah Liang's support. When he saw the big spirit for the first time, he spat out a lot of saliva excitedly.
"It is it, it is it, it is it."
There was an uproar in Shangrao Port.
There were two people who witnessed the water monster with their own eyes, one was Ah Liang and the other was Ah Liang's father. They both said it was right, so that was it.
The dark-faced man last night raised his face and slapped his chest.
"Look, what did I say last night? Master Liang takes action, so I'm sure! What does a big snake mean? The dragon is causing trouble in our Yixing town, so Master Liang will have to chop it up!"
"good!"
"Master Liang is mighty!"
Everyone cheered.
"Thanks to Mr. Liang for the peace we have in Yixing Town! In the past, there would only be two or three disasters in a month, and one or two would die from time to time. Now if someone is injured, the commotion can be so big!"
I don’t know who shouted something, which resonated.
"That's the truth!"
"Yes."
In the past, no one dared to go to deep water. They would only wander around for ten miles, and they had to keep the distance to ensure that they would not go too deep and be killed by monsters. Nowadays, there is no need to hold the water, and more fish are caught.
The water is dozens of miles deep, and if you paddle freely, you won’t be able to finish it in a day!
Ordinary people don’t have that strength!
From the beginning of spring this year to now, there has only been one incident of injury to Ah Liang's father. To be honest, it is his own fault and he is not slippery.
Ever since, that day, Yixing Town once again sang about Liang Qu's kindness.
In the evening, all three-year-old children knew about his feat of killing snakes. It could be said that no one knew about it, and it once again cast a mysterious and powerful light on Liang Qu.
Even Liang Qu, who lives at home, heard about it from Aunt Zhang.
It’s cool to say it or not, it’s cool.
He is an ordinary person with an ordinary temperament. He does not pursue justice excessively, but he also has a certain sense of morality.
It's not bad to hear people praise themselves.
Some are happy and some are sad.
deepwater zone.
A large dark green snake that stretched for hundreds of meters was resting in the long room. It suddenly opened its eyes, and the snake's pupils were confused.
"what happened?"
While it was sleeping, its heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if it had lost something.
As a monster, he will not act on a whim for no reason.
Is there a demon trying to kill it?
No, that's not right.
He has not had any enemies with other monsters in recent times.
Orochi thought about it, and only thought of the two heirs he sent to the shallow water area a few days ago.
Something must have happened! ?
The big snake was frightened and wandered uneasily in the long room.
When its strength reaches the level of a monster, it is very difficult to reproduce. It only has three children in total.
A few days ago, the Dragon King became furious for unknown reasons and set out to explore south. As a direct subordinate of the Dragon King, it naturally could not remain indifferent. It sent out its own subordinates and heirs. Now...
No, I have to go take a look.
etc.
If a monster beast crosses the border, will it be regarded as a provocation by the human martial artist...
The big snake was in a tangle.
A long while.
Let's wait for a while.
The monster beast has consciousness and comes ashore abnormally, which can easily attract the attention of human masters.
The long room returned to calm.
…
The days fly by.
A few days after killing the snake, the grand scene of three days of volleying receded, and all the roasted things revived again.
Two days later, the curfew ended.
The night in Pingyang County has returned to its former lively and prosperous state.
Chen Qingjiang is smiling every day.
Fish activities are frequent at night, and more fish can be caught. It is really uncomfortable to catch fish during the day.
It’s just that the fat catfish and the others have resumed their night fishing routine, and everything seems to be back to normal.
Mid-to-early August.
Liang Qu was absent from work and eating peanuts at home. Li Libo hurried over and announced that an important person was coming to Hebo and all officials needed to go to greet him.
VIP?
Liang Qu felt happy. After counting the time, it was obvious that he had received the reward for wiping out the Ghost Mother Cult last time.
He hurried back to his bedroom, put on his official uniform, and rushed to the riverside residence. He didn't know the result until he got there.
It's early.
We have to wait at least another three hours, almost half a day!
Not all officials lived as close as Liang Qu, and they happened to be at home. The messenger who came in advance deliberately left a gap of three hours to avoid losing etiquette at the Hebo Station.
Liang Qu sat in Ran Zhongshi's study, playing on the ice table, drinking ice cream, and killing time.
"You put too much sugar in it. It's so sweet. You should put more milk in it."
Ran Zhongshi, who was writing a document, rolled his eyes: "It would be nice to drink some."
Xiang Fangsu, who was also waiting, said casually.
"The people coming this time should be from Nanzhili. It will not be difficult for Ah Shui to get his job. Ours will be a little later and there will be a second wave."
Ran Zhongshi was not surprised.
"The news from the imperial capital will have to wait. Anyway, there is no rush for the reward. It doesn't matter if it takes a few days."
The territory of Dashun is too broad. To facilitate management, the dynasty has two core centers.
One is the undisputed imperial capital, where the emperor and dragon are located, coordinating the world.
The other is in Nanzhili, whose jurisdiction covers the entire lower reaches of the Huaihe River.
The power is neither too big nor too small. It cannot formulate big policies, but it is responsible for implementing the instructions issued by the imperial capital in the south. It is a very useful "secondary heart".
Huaiyin Mansion is also under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili. It is said that there are a lot of dignitaries left there. There are often great martial arts masters. Those with high family status have masters in their homes.
On the surface, there are even two Martial Saints stationed as guards. It is the place with the highest administrative level and the strongest overall strength in Dashun, except for the capital city.
Within the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, officials below the seventh rank can be directly appointed and removed through the branch of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so Xiang Fangsu said that news from Liang Qu would be faster than them.
As for their promotion, Nanzhili cannot make the decision and must first report to the imperial capital for approval.
Afternoon application time.
Wei Lin and Xu Yuelong stood at the front.
Everyone followed the two men and stood in line at the entrance of the river park. They lined up in an orderly manner and were not allowed to discuss, talk or cough at all.
Apart from the solemnity, there was also joy visible to the naked eye.
Who doesn't like to take credit?
Within a moment, a group of people came running from the end of the road, raising a faint cloud of dust and smoke in the distance.
Liang Qu had already experienced a similar scene once, and he was more calm than the martial arts officials around him.
A few miles away suddenly arrived.
The leader was a middle-aged man, riding a strong black horse with high energy. When he got off the horse, he took out the pages of the album without any ink.
"My emperor, God, will do it tomorrow. He will make his first heroic appearance. He is still waiting for peace on the border. He secretly gathers in the lakeside pond to express his kindness and power...
Today, we will summarize and consolidate the previous and previous military exploits, so as to strengthen the officers and soldiers' subsequent effectiveness, and to show rewards and punishments as a matter of public service! "
After reading the program, the middle-aged man began to explain one by one the time and place, the actions of the Hebo Institute and the Anti-Monster Division in annihilating the branch of the Ghost Mother Cult, and the corresponding achievements.
After a lot of praise, rewards were given based on merit, but when it was some people's turn, only the merit was recorded, and the corresponding rewards were not read out.
As Xiang Fangsu said, the head part comes later.
Many martial artists who didn't know what was going on were panicking.
It wasn't until the officials of sixth rank and above finished reading out the announcement and the specific rewards were announced that they suddenly realized it.
It turns out there is a difference between them and the superiors.
Liang Qu listened carefully, and after the middle-aged man read the names of two or three people, he heard himself.
"Liang Qu, a native of Pingyang County, Huaiyin Prefecture, was promoted to the post of seventh-grade Du Shui Lang. He was rewarded with a fourth-grade Dragon Blood Horse elixir, which was recorded as two great merits and one hundred and three minor merits!"
Up!
Jump two levels in a row.
Seventh grade Du Shui Lang!
