Chapter 443: Changing Situations
Wei Lin's eyes burst out with sharp sparks, and wherever he glanced, everyone lowered their heads involuntarily.
There was dead silence.
The grievances between the leaders and the deputy leaders have been with each other for a long time. They have been like this since their ancestors. It is normal for them to dislike each other.
No one knows.
Liang Guogong is sharp and arrogant, and Wei Lin is cool and cool. The two sides are always like fire and water. As subordinates, they should have gotten used to it.
Rumble~
Thunder rolled in the sky, lightning intertwined, silver light was dense, and heavy rain fell from the dark clouds.
The third floor of the Demon Hunting Department.
The raindrops turned into white spots.
Xu Yuelong closed the window to block the splashing water and noise on the window sill. He returned to his seat and warmly put his arms around the shoulders of Sui Hongyan, the deputy commander of the Anti-Demon Division. He boasted that the visions of heaven and earth were rare, cleansed the true energy, boosted the mind, and had many benefits.
Thirty thousand taels, you can’t buy it and suffer a loss, you can’t buy it and you can’t be cheated!
Money spent can be earned again, but missed visions will never come back!
"If I can take this opportunity to give birth to a spiritual form, I won't exchange it for 30,000 taels of gold!"
Sui Hongyan raised her eyebrows and did not answer directly. Instead, she shook the tea with interest.
"I heard someone say that you quoted 50,000 taels of silver to Wei Lin?"
Xu Yuelong admitted: "That's right! It's not like you don't know about my affair with him."
The orthodox leader Zuo Heng crossed his hands, pressed on the desk, leaned forward, and asked with a smile: "You are the deputy in Hebo, are you not afraid that Wei Lin will use your status as the leader to take advantage of you?"
"Is that why I came to you?" Xu Yuelong opened his hands with a smile on his face, "You and I are of the same mind, get on the boat to show your attitude, the great martial artist next to you is 30,000, I will give you a discount, 28,000! How about it! ?”
Zuo Heng sneered.
"Two thousand taels want to speak for you and send beggars away? You, Xu Yuelong, have a grudge against Wei Lin, but I don't. On the contrary, I admire him very much. He has a bad temper and a bad character, but he is strong enough. In our lifetime, he will say less Keep five and hope for three.”
Xu Yuelong grinned.
"Twenty thousand!" Sui Hongyan put down the tea cup, "I will buy you a boat ticket and I will give you another ten thousand taels to help you with this."
"Twenty-five thousand! It can't be lower!" Xu Yuelong also crossed his arms and leaned forward, "The Sanfa Division has already agreed. If you don't come, I will be in trouble, but several great martial arts masters combined will be enough!"
Sui Hongyan lowered his head in thought and looked at Zuo Heng.
a long time.
"Twenty-three thousand!"
Xu Yuelong slapped the table: "Deal!"
Sui Hongyan stood up on the ground.
"I'll get the money!"
Three law divisions.
Xu Yuelong took a sip of strong tea and talked eloquently.
"Twenty-five thousand! It can't be lower! Sui Hongyan and Zuo Heng of the Demon Hunt Division have agreed. If you don't come, I will be in trouble, but it's not helpless! I'm dragging you here to build momentum!"
"Twenty-five thousand..."
The first and second leaders of the Third Law Division looked at each other and made repeated calculations in their minds.
"Twenty-four thousand!"
"make a deal!"
…
Qingjiang Shipyard.
Raindrops dripped along the brown branches folded out of the bamboo hat. Liang Qu crossed the puddle and looked up into the distance.
The sight jumped out of the square inch, and the world was gray.
There were boatmen carrying oilcloths everywhere, grabbing the four corners in the rain, and covering the cut planks from top to bottom.
The steward passed by several boatmen and took the lead, introducing the boats one by one. From wide-bellied boats to multi-story large boats, they all had complete functions.
Liang Qu was not satisfied.
"It doesn't matter if there's a fast one, size doesn't matter."
After thinking about it, Liang Qu added, "Don't go too fast, it's enough for someone who travels thousands of miles a day."
There won't be too many people entering the lake this time. They can support about a hundred people. A few more ships can accommodate them. He wants a cost-effective king.
This time, he and Xu Yuelong were selling boat tickets to make a profit. It was a bit of a private job and they might not be reimbursed.
The steward thought for a while and led Liang Qu to another dock. The ships inside were all glowing with a faint green light.
"Qingyun Fengfang! The entire keel is made of Qingshui wood, and the ribs are mainly made of purple bamboo. It is light, agile and fast.
An ordinary two-masted sailing ship can travel about seventy miles per watch if the wind is favorable. The Qingyun Fang can travel half as much as twice that amount. Even if it goes against the wind and the current, it can still travel more than a thousand miles a day. It is not as good as an ordinary ship traveling two and a half miles against the wind! "
Liang Qu nodded slightly.
When a ship sails, it’s not about the speed, but the number of hours.
There are about ten shifts in a day and night, and one shift lasts about two and a half hours.
When the wind is favorable, it can travel seventy miles per watch, and the speed is thirty miles an hour, which means it can travel seven hundred miles per day.
The number of Qingyun Fengfang has increased by half, and it is almost more than 1,700 miles in one day.
Observing the openings on both sides and the ropes on the boat, it can be expected that with the support of human and animal power, the speed of the boat will be faster.
Based on the distance between Pingyang Mansion and Awei, it will take less than three days to arrive with a smooth sailing, so there will be a lot of free time.
Excellent performance!
"That's right, that's it!"
"Master Liang is still a Du Shui Lang. He needs to allocate the cost of the ships. In total, he can send..."
Liang Qu reached out and took off the badge from his waist and threw it to the steward.
The steward reached out to take it, wiped off the water stains on the card, and the bright character "Xu" flashed clear. He was shocked and hurriedly handed it back.
Liang Guangchang: "I'll use the boat on behalf of Xu Tiling."
"Since it is Master Xu's request, Master Liang has the right to dispatch all the ships that have been completed and are still in the port."
Liang Qu took a rough look at the number of ships in the dock.
"Ten Qingyun boats, each equipped with ten small shuttles, loaded with ten days of daily necessities, will stop at the gate of the river at 2:00 tomorrow morning. Can this be done?"
"Ten Qingyun boats are assigned ten small shuttles, a total of one hundred shuttles, carrying ten days of supplies. They will be delivered tomorrow at midnight!"
"good!"
the next day.
The sky and the earth are gloomy, and the green-colored boats are moored neatly at the entrance of the government office on the river bank, drifting with the current.
The chief bookkeepers sent troops to Hanhe to check up and down and check for any leaks.
There was a commotion in Ran Zhongshi's study on the second floor of the government office opposite.
Everyone gathered around and congratulated.
Ran Zhongshi is out of isolation!
Great martial artist Ran!
After digesting many things that happened in the past two days, Ran Zhongshi breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, we left one day early. It would have been a big loss if we couldn't catch the vision."
Ke Wenbin counted on his fingers: "Including Master Ah Shui, we have three great martial arts masters here! Invincible!"
"Okay, okay, our riverside place is prospering!"
"Martial Master Ran! The Grandmaster is here, the Martial Saint is in sight!"
Bai Yinbin made a fuss: "I encountered a vision when I left seclusion. How come it's your turn to do good things? Why don't you treat me to dinner? Is that okay?"
Ran Zhongshi waved his hand: "Please! What do you want to eat? Now tell me the name of the dish! I'll have someone prepare it right away! We'll open it when we get back!"
"The three-thousand-year-old Zhu Guo has a faint mouth!"
"Here are two flat peaches that will increase your life span by twenty years!"
"Two more bottles of Tianxianquan to rinse your mouth with! Don't mix it with water! Make it thicker!"
Ran Zhongshi rolled up his sleeves: "You are too polite. If you want to eat these, there is no need to wait until you come back. I will knock you out now, and you can eat them in your dreams right away!"
"Tch, stingy."
"I became a great martial artist, not a martial saint!"
Bai Yinbin has a long neck: "If you don't have the courage to be a martial arts saint, how can you become a martial arts saint in the future?"
Ran Zhongshi was furious.
"Today I have my magic power. I don't want to see blood, but you want to test my edge!"
"Brother Yue Long, save me!"
"alright!"
The crowd kept getting excited, but Xu Yuelong stepped in to stop it.
"Since Zhongshi left customs early, he should go as early as possible. Originally scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, he has moved up to this afternoon."
No one can say exactly when the long breath will appear, so it would be a mistake. It would be best to arrive two days earlier.
The vision was so serious that everyone did not bother to congratulate him and dispersed one after another.
When the study room was empty, Xu Yuelong took out a thick stack of silver notes from his sleeve and patted it on Liang Qu's hand.
This stack of banknotes is completely different from ordinary banknotes in denominations of one thousand taels and one hundred taels.
It feels unusually thick to the touch, rather like animal skin, and is densely covered with seals and various shades of cyan patterns, which makes it look extraordinary visually.
"Not counting your master and brothers, Zhongshi and the others have a total of nine hunting tigers, eight out of sixty wolf smokes, and seven out of twenty galloping horses.
During this period, I gave some discounts to some people. Counting you at 30%, the total is 189,900 taels. I collected the whole amount for you, which is 190,000 taels! "
Liang Qu: "!!!"
How many?
One hundred and ninety thousand taels! ?
Yaoshou!
For a moment, when Liang Qu heard this exaggerated number, his heart pumped faster, his blood surged upwards, and he felt dizzy.
Liang Qu worked hard in Xiangyi County for half a month, but he only got 70,000 taels. Xu Yuelong changed hands and got 190,000 taels?
Is this money so easy to make?
"Did Wei Ti accept the surrender?"
Xu Yuelong nodded, then shook his head.
"Let's forget it."
What does "counting" payment mean?
Seeing that Xu Yuelong didn't explain his desire.
Liang Qu didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so he kept the banknote carefully.
There were only nineteen pieces of paper, but he felt the heavy weight in his pocket.
Look around.
"Can I go back first?"
Xu Yuelong raised his eyebrows: "Zhongshi left the customs early and set off in the afternoon. Your things have been prepared. What are you going back for?"
"This is the first time I have so much money. I don't feel safe taking it out."
Liang Qu was really afraid that he would accidentally give others gold coins. Even if he asked someone to steal one or lose one, it would be heartbreaking.
Huge wealth that I have never seen in my life!
"Just leave it at home..." Xu Yuelong thought for a moment, then changed the topic, "Look at you, you act like you've never seen money, go and come back quickly."
Liang Qu hurriedly called Chishan, quickly returned to the house, carefully put more than ten banknotes into the secret box in the wooden box in the quiet room, and observed them repeatedly.
Cool! ! !
There were dozens of banknotes of different denominations in the secret box, adding up to a total of 70,000 taels!
Altogether, Liang Qu's total wealth exceeds 260,000 taels!
rich!
Wealth like never before!
This money was used to buy Baozhi, at least water essence worth more than 100,000 yuan!
More than twenty galloping horses are worthless, but those dozens of wolves and nine hunting tigers are really rich.
Liang Qu had imagined before that if everyone gave him a little money, he could become a rich man.
Now relying on Xu Yuelong can be regarded as realizing the dream in disguise.
"Huh~"
Take a deep breath.
Liang Qu calmed down and did not go back to the river bank immediately. He packed up his things, asked the master for two more small orders, said goodbye to everyone at home, turned around and ran to his house to call all his senior brothers and master.
Hearing that they were leaving a day early, the two senior brothers in the martial arts school did not hesitate, carried their packages and headed towards the fleet.
If you don't get into the smoke of war, you won't be able to achieve true power.
If you run into the past, the actual benefits will not be much, but it is always right to gain insights from the past.
The level of vision determines the level of judgment on things, and also indirectly determines life choices.
It's good to be more open-minded, since you don't need money anyway.
"Libo, Jiechang, this trip will last for as little as seven days and as much as ten days. The martial arts gym depends on you! Don't let them cause trouble.
Especially in the second hospital, there are a few boys who have a bad relationship. They seem to be jealous because of Tian Jinyuan. You should pay more attention! "
Before leaving, Hu Qi repeatedly warned.
Chen Jiechang nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Senior Brother Hu, we will pay more attention."
Liang Qu handed over two bottles of snake bone pills, one for each person. He had more than a dozen bottles of this pill.
The two were flattered: "Brother Shui, this..."
"If my fellow villagers don't help, who will? Practice hard and strive to break through the three levels as soon as possible so that you can become a river chief. If you encounter something that cannot be solved, go to them for help."
Hu Qi agreed: "Yes, go to your colleagues at the Hebo Station for help."
After the martial arts gym expanded, not only novice apprentices were accepted, but also first-level and second-level apprentices were accepted to teach some low-level martial arts.
Chen Jiechang and Li Libo alone may not be able to control the situation if a big incident occurs, but with the help of their galloping colleagues, it will be no problem.
After handling many matters, everyone set off towards the riverside.
A drizzle fell from the sky.
The painted boats at Dazekou stop on the shore, and only a few fishing boats go out.
In mid-May, the temperature changes drastically and continues to rise, and frequent rainfall has begun.
In one month, it will almost enter the rainy season...
Liang Qu stood on the bow of the boat and looked out. He could see people from all directions running out of the streets and alleys, braving the drizzle and meeting towards the shore.
Most of them are from the three major yamen, and there are a small number of people from the prefecture, such as the former Pingyang County Magistrate Jian Zhongyi and the current Pingyang Prefecture Magistrate. There are only a handful of people who don't know them.
Among them, Liang Qu also met Sui Hongyan, the deputy commander of the Anti-Monster Division who had last fought against the Ghost Mother Cult together, and congratulated Ran Zhongshi on boarding the ship after becoming a great martial artist.
The river flows into the sea, silently.
There are ten large ships, each with shipwrights and soldiers on board, but it is still more than enough to accommodate more than a hundred additional people.
When there were almost no people on the river bank, Liang Qu saw Wei Lin walking out of the government office and entering the boat with all his men. There was no sign of joy or anger.
How did you pay it?
Xu Yuelong's happy but not completely happy look is quite curious.
However, there was no time left for Liang Qu to investigate further.
The sergeants came forward to report the arrival of the personnel, and he turned around and ran to adjust the direction of the ship.
Set off!
The anchors were put away, and the ten green boats gradually slid into the deep water, with oars protruding from both sides and jumping out quickly.
More than two hundred finless porpoises, led by their respective leaders, followed the boat to the left and right, riding the waves.
As the wind on the river grew stronger, the ship unfurled its sails and headed for the depths of the swamp.
Half an hour later.
Liang Qu changed the direction of the ship.
The soldier was a little surprised, but he didn't ask any more questions. He pushed the horizontal bar and faithfully carried out the order.
Xiang Changsong, who was on the deck, noticed something unusual and ran to the cabin to ask: "Why did you change the direction?"
There are no obstacles on the swamp. Just determine the location and go there in a straight line, right?
Liang Qu was very calm: "Don't change the direction. What if someone takes advantage of being close to the shore and sends a message back to avoid buying a ticket? If they are far away and can't see the ship, there is nothing they can do." Follow again, and even if the message is received, it is the wrong location.”
The universe is vast, and if someone is sneaking around, you may not be able to find it, but you are stealing money from his pocket!
hiss!
"Is this the right direction now?"
"No, I'll change it again later."
The soldiers were sincerely convinced.
Another hour.
The soldiers took out the wooden barrels and smeared demon-repelling ointment on both sides of the ship.
The ship changed direction again.
After changing direction twice, once to the left and once to the right, we are now traveling on the true channel!
It was midnight.
The soldiers lit incense from the bow of the ship.
Cream, incense, both ways.
Except for the fact that finless porpoises have been specially trained to resist drugs and have no adverse reactions, the fleet has almost never encountered monsters in the water.
Same waterway.
Several large snakes of different colors saw the fleet passing by from a distance and the pungent smell lingering in the air, and turned around to avoid it.
Monster-repelling ointments and incense are instinctively disgusted by ordinary spirits, but they have much less effect on monsters.
Those who talk to others have their own ability to judge.
But the smell is just a symbol, symbolizing that the fleet is protected by Dashun.
"Let's go, we'll be at Pingyang Mansion soon."
The big red-scaled snake glanced at it from a distance and moved forward.
