Chapter 457 The soft persimmon comes to the door

Above the large swamp, four broad-bellied arks had extremely deep drafts and were drifting toward the valley.

Liang Qu and Ran Zhongshi entered the center of the cabin from the stairs on both sides, and passed through the narrow corridor on the first floor. The cold white air hit their faces, misty and sinking.

"Phew, it's much more comfortable inside than outside."

Liang Qu let out a breath of hot breath, stepped into the ice storage room where white mist flowed, stretched his shoulders, and felt happy all over.

It was late May outside, and the sun was shining brightly. It was so hot that even the slightest movement made people sweat.

The inside of the cabin is like a cold storage.

Come in and take a few steps, the white air will blow away the scorching heat, and you will feel extremely comfortable.

The person walked through the side of the blue ice, and the cold air flowed along the folds of his clothes.

There is a layer of insulating cotton material around the entire cabin, and the ground is sprinkled with saltpeter powder to ensure that the old ice melts as little as possible. There are also several machines that are humming with air conditioning.

The principle seems to be similar to that of an ice platform. If you reach over, the temperature blown out will be even lower.

Most of the ice cubes combine with water vapor on the surface to form white frost, and you have to scrape off an inch-thick layer to see the blue old ice inside.

Liang Qu used Qinglang to dig out a piece as big as his fist, and placed it at the junction of the sun to observe. The light blue light and shadow cast by it were pure and flawless.

Bai Yinbin is right.

This batch of ice is very pure.

The steward accompanied him and said: "When it was mined, it was close to more than 1.25 million kilograms. If we work hard and slowly, we still inevitably melt a few tens of thousands of kilograms."

"The loss rate is quite small." Ran Zhongshi wiped it with his fingertips and bounced away the frost, "Do the people in charge know what we are here for?"

"I understand, Mr. Lu, Mr. Ren said, please rest assured, our Tianbo Chamber of Commerce has a good reputation.

Anyone brought today will never come within twenty miles of the vision and will leave immediately after seeing them off.

As long as someone violates the rules and is discovered, there is no need to interfere with us, let the adults deal with it. "

"It doesn't have to be so serious. How many people are there in total on your four cargo ships... You didn't come with anyone behind you, did you?"

"I didn't follow!" the steward said firmly, "We picked up the ice and went down the Heishui River without any supplies along the way.

No one knew where we were going, let alone what cargo was on the ship, or why we were passing by. There were so many merchant ships coming and going on Daze every day, and almost no one noticed us. "

"Not really." Liang Qu suddenly interjected, "I've seen a lot of rats sneaking into the boat."

Ran Zhongshi and others looked at him sideways.

The steward was a little puzzled: "My lord, you might as well speak more clearly."

Ran Zhongshi stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Did you find anything?"

Liang Qu inserted Qinglang back into his waist and took out a Xuanshui arrow.

"When I got on the boat, a few eyes were full of malice towards me. To be precise, they were towards 'us'."

Lu Kaiyun, Ren Yipeng, Bai Yinbin: "?"

They had been on the boat for half a day, why didn't they feel anything?

Ran Zhongshi considered his words: "The eyes... are full of malice? Are you kidding me?"

Warriors can indeed exert killing intent and malice through their gaze, but they need to take the initiative.

How could the other party be so upright and upright when he sneaked in?

Are you afraid that the enemy won't know?

"I practice a special method."

Ran Zhongshi raised his eyebrows: "Is it accurate?"

"Nothing was wrong."

Ran Zhongshi's eyes fell on the steward, and his palms were slightly lowered.

Liang Qu grabbed Ran Zhongshi's wrist and said, "It's okay for you to be in charge, otherwise I wouldn't have come in and said that the few outsiders are powerful and have no strong men. They should be spies."

Bai Yinbin rolled his eyes: "Ghost Mother Cult?"

The steward listened to a few words and gradually understood the situation. Although he was happy that he had cleared the relationship, as a member of the chamber of commerce, it was his responsibility to blame for what happened.

"That shouldn't be the case. Sirs, our boats and people collected ice without any stops along the way. We even had to send people to paddle for half a day every day. There were no personnel changes. We rushed quickly..."

Liang Qu interrupted: "Maybe it's in transit, otherwise it wouldn't be that easy!"

Bai Yinbin said: "A peach is dead for a Li, and a sheep is easy for an ox to die?"

Liang Qu raised his head and stared at the steward: "With normal water transportation, the fleet will not cross the center of Daze, right?"

The steward bowed and said, "Your Majesty is right. The Jianghuai swamp is very deep and there are many water animals. Ordinary water transport caravans usually travel along shallow water areas and take long detours.

It's far, but the better is safety. It's the same crossing as us. Although the route is several times shorter, it will cost more money to buy demon exorcism ointment.

Even so, there is still a risk of being attacked by water monsters. Halfway through our trip, we also hung up the flag of the river. "

If you can't control the imperial court, you can't control the caravan?

A caravan with no background and bad luck is just like gold and silver cans traveling on water.

Open one and make a lot of money.

Lu Kaiyun said: "How are you now?"

Liang Qu looked at Ran Zhongshi.

"Ah Shui, can you recognize everyone?"

"As long as they look at me, yes!"

Ran Zhongshi didn't hesitate: "Try to capture as many people as possible alive and see if you can get clues through torture. The steward, call everyone on the deck on the grounds that you are about to arrive at the destination and transport ice!"

"yes!"

The steward left in a hurry.

"What an unexpected bonus."

Bai Yinbin sighed.

Brother Xu is not good at fishing, but he is pretty good at fishing for other things.

The addition of Liang Qu and Ran Zhongshi was a completely improvised idea, but they didn't expect to find something dirty.

"It is rumored that the East Snake, North Fish and Ghost Mother Cult have a secret connection, which may not be groundless. Even if it is true, the Frog Clan and the Ironhead Fish have been confronting each other for so many days, and they will not be idle after hearing the news. It is just unclear which lineage the people coming are from?"

"Hey, no matter which lineage it is, the Martial Saint is difficult to move for one thing, and they dare not send a master to continue to hang out in the Great Lake.

There are only two points. From now on, no matter how many come, it will be our military merit! Ah Shui is not here today, hiding secretly can still cause some trouble, but now, it can't even cause trouble."

Liang Qu thought about it.

"It makes sense. The Ghost Mother Cult lives in the Great Lake, and dare not completely evil the South Frog, reducing its own vertical and horizontal space, but it is also in a lack of successors..."

Ordinary cultivation is pyramid-shaped, and the higher you go, the fewer people there are, just like the food chain.

The situation of the Ghost Mother Cult is different due to historical problems.

The last branch of the Huang family was headed by two great masters, but there were only two great martial artists below!

The life span of a grandmaster is long, and one person can pass on his skills to ten generations. The grandmaster is still alive even if his father is gone.

If a grandmaster does not take the treasure that prolongs his life, he can only live to be 130 or 140 years old. The remnants who fled to the swamp in the past died early.

However, the population base of the new generation is small, resources are limited, and it is difficult to cultivate. It is already very difficult to become a grandmaster. Most of them are in the middle and lower realms...

If someone is really sent here, it is only about this level.

"The soft persimmon is delivered to the door!"

Several people turned their thoughts and were refreshed. They quickly took Liangqu as the center and took action one after another, clearing the big rats hiding in the dark one by one.

Those who delivered ice were busy, and those who collected ice were also busy.

Long Binglin, Long Eying and Long Yanrui were preparing to complete the battle and drive the ironhead fish out of the valley in one fell swoop.

Dulong Zongyin brought people to receive the goods himself.

"Is it or not..."

Long Zongyin turned the pearl string on his wrist, thinking a lot.

Two days, almost three days, were enough for Long Zongyin to find Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe, and then take the white sturgeon to discuss with the first and second elders for a whole day and come up with a preliminary plan.

"You two, such a big thing, you didn't even tell the clan."

Behind Long Zongyin, Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe looked ashamed.

At first, the two of them guessed that Liang Qu was the Dragon King.

The will of the Dragon King was naturally higher than the will of the Dragon Clan.

After dealing with the snake demon, the two realized that their guess might be wrong, but they were too embarrassed to shake off the matter of Liang Qu.

Liang Qu treated them well.

He did not deliberately use the two because of his similarities with the Dragon King, and verbally denied that he was the Dragon King.

It was their own wishful thinking.

So they were entangled and kept it on hold.

Unexpectedly, just a few days after returning, the elders found them by name and yelled.

They didn't hide it.

A lot of things came out.

The two brothers didn't say anything about the white ape, but the truth revealed by biting it to death was very different from that of the Dragon King.

Long Zongyin didn't ask, he didn't need to know the specific result.

It didn't matter why the truth was, the key was "not a dragon appearance", plus the attitudes of Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe, it was doubtful whether the other party was the Dragon King, and it would take time and evidence to slowly verify.

As for the current relationship with the other party...

After discussing with the other two elders, the three of them thought that this matter was not difficult to handle, and it could even be said to be simple.

There was only one way for the Dragon People to go back and forth.

It was definitely right to make friends.

It was right anyway.
