Chapter 458: Hebo is so welcoming
"We need to find an opportunity to have a face-to-face chat."
Long Zongyin sat cross-legged on a boulder, twirling his pearl bracelet, thinking about finding an opportunity to meet.
Long Binglin and Long Eying were young after all, and their intentions were too obvious, so He Bo noticed something unusual, and he didn't know what kind of misunderstanding had caused them, which led to their deliberate cover-up and precautions that day.
It's not easy to contact each other privately again...
"Pingjiang, Pinghe!"
"Elder!"
"When the clan gathers its strength, you two will return to Pingyang Mansion and stay beside Lord Liang as guards.
Not to mention serving him at his side, at least be a capable subordinate. I will go to Hebo Office to try and see if I can get you two a position, and try to get you to work under Lord Liang openly. This is the best."
"A position?" Long Pingjiang hesitated, "Elder, forgive Pingjiang for speaking frankly, will Hebo Office agree? We dragons are foreigners after all, and whether we can serve in the court... In addition, after serving, do we still need to look for the traces of the Dragon King in Pingyang Mansion?"
Long Zongyin shook his head.
"Foreigners are better. The Hebo Office will cooperate with the Dragon People, give them several low-rank official positions, and deepen the relationship. This is a good opportunity to open up the situation in the Great Lake, and use us as a springboard to contact the Frog People.
Even if it doesn't work, the Dragon People's initiative to surrender can also be regarded as an official achievement. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and it is unlikely to be rejected."
We have cooperated with the Hebo Office once. The other party's offer is high, but it is not too outrageous for such a big thing as gathering the long qi.
The two sides already have a foundation of trust.
The foundation of trust means that one is followed by two, three, and four, which makes Long Zongyin's attempt gradually bolder. He said while thinking.
"The only thing is to be transferred to Liang Shuilang... All the defenses of Hebo need to be communicated with Liang Shuilang in advance before it can be done.
And the search mission in Pingyang Prefecture cannot be abandoned. It will be handed over to Long Zijian and Long Zihe. I will send someone else to Xiangyi County. How about it?"
The two brothers looked at each other and knelt on one knee.
"I will listen to the elders' arrangements!"
"Yes."
The bottom of the water fell into silence.
A moment.
"By the way, Pingjiang, Liang Shuilang, does he like women?"
"Women?" Long Pingjiang thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, Lord Liang is a clean man. His residence is a three-story courtyard. In addition to the water beast, there are only two old people living there.
There are three, oh, four servants. A boy in his teens raises horses, and two women wash clothes and cook. Not long ago, a young woman was arranged to come in to help. She looks ordinary and is the son of one of the women.
He basically has no bad habits, and he is more decent to his own people and supports them. To outsiders and enemies... I have only followed him once in a field mission to deal with a snake demon. I have little contact with him and don't know much."
Long Pingjiang recalled that Liang Qu went to Xiangyi to kill the snake demon and "extorted money".
Not bad, but a little dirty.
After all, they are not considered their own people. The two of them can't judge the right and wrong of this matter, so they have to pretend not to know.
Long Zongyin nodded.
"Don't be lustful... you can send two dragon girls over."
That day, he heard that Liang Qu's ability to enlighten people seemed to have no impact on the race.
He and the other two elders all felt that it was very mysterious.
The Jianghuai River is vast, who knows if there will be any rare and exotic animals that are not inferior to the Dragon King?
Don't be arrogant.
So the Dragon Clan attaches great importance to making friends with Liang Qu, almost listed as one of the most important things in the clan.
If the Dragon King really can't be found, the gods are gone, or the dragons succeed in taking the throne, maybe Liang Qu will really become a ray of hope for the Dragon Clan.
But even so, Long Zongyin will not send a dragon girl to bed and do that flattering thing.
The Dragon Clan is not large in number, and every family is related.
Which dragon girl, in terms of seniority, can't call him Uncle Zongyin, Grandfather?
They are all relatives of Jiafu.
The other party likes women, is evil and ruthless, and must not push the tribe into the fire pit.
If he doesn't like women, he can arrange two maids to cultivate feelings.
Whether it succeeds or not, there is no harm.
"Try to find two petite ones, don't be too ostentatious..."
In response to the strategic policy of friendship proposed by the other two elders, Long Zongyin thought of various measures to make friends.
For a long time.
Waves spread from the opposite side of the valley, and the surging water could be felt by everyone dozens of miles away.
There was a fight over there in the valley!
Looking from a distance.
The frog tribe and the ironhead fish turned into black spots, collided with each other, swung their weapons, and the white turbulence danced wildly.
The dragon people and the human tribe on the side showed their magical powers, showing all kinds of true energy, blue, red, green, gold, and all kinds of colors.
In the middle, there was a scarlet Roc, with three blazing suns behind its head, which was very eye-catching and powerful. With its wings spread out...
It was too far away to compare how big it was, but it was a circle larger than the surrounding Zhen Gang!
It reminded me of the red fire bird that the Toad King had killed.
The earth was shaking, and the turbulent currents were flying.
Long Zongyin was as steady as a mountain.
The elders were like this, and the young dragons had to suppress their anxiety and continue to wait.
There was such a large battlefield, and they would not be much more or less. They focused their attention on the ice boats transported by the river.
The war gradually became white-hot, and the dense black spots in the middle of the water layer became sparse, and the injured frogs, fish, and people fell to the bottom of the water like raindrops.
"Elder, the boat is coming!"
Long Zongyin raised his head.
Four wide-bellied arks slowly sailed from the river.
"Let's go!"
Leaping up from the rock, Long Zongyin floated upward, and dozens of dragons responded.
On the deck of the Broadbelly Ark.
A row of "boat workers" wore "heavy makeup and light makeup" on their faces, and the boat workers rinsed it off with water one by one.
The steward stepped forward and groped one by one, tearing off all the fake skin to reveal his true appearance.
Every one of them is different from the original appearance!
The great martial artist Ran Zhongshi took command and quietly took action. The spies on the four ships could not make any waves at all.
Liang Qu didn't have time to use his fifty Xuanshui arrows and only used a few ordinary arrows to shoot off the enemy's limbs. The battle was over.
He lowered his eyebrows and glanced around.
"The quality of this batch of scouts is not low!"
Among the "lurkers" tied up on the deck, there are twelve galloping horses and two smoke masters!
Ran Zhongshi nodded and looked to both sides: "Let's interrogate them separately."
"Okay!"
Lu Kaiyun, Ren Yipeng and others each picked up one and brought it to the room prepared by the steward for interrogation.
Ran Zhongshi personally asked the remaining two Wolf Smoke masters who were trapped in "sweet dreams".
Two quarters of an hour later.
Summary of information from multiple sources.
There are slight discrepancies, but they all come together to form a relatively clear thread.
People's will is not as strong as imagined when faced with torture. Martial arts masters will be a little stronger, but not much.
Liang Qu stepped forward.
"A great martial artist from the middle realm of Hunting Tiger, and a great martial artist from the lower realm of Hunting Tiger. The two of them are leading 16 martial arts masters from Langyan and are waiting forty miles to the north? Are they planning to watch the fire from the other side?"
Forty miles away, whether far or near, whether to help or not, they are obviously waiting to see the situation.
Ren Yipeng held his chin: "The relationship between the Ghost Mother Cult and the Iron-headed Fish seems not as good as imagined."
Bai Yinbin looked around.
"Two hunting tiger martial arts masters and sixteen Langyan martial arts masters. We don't have enough manpower. There is only one great martial arts master, Brother Zhongshi. Not to mention the great martial arts masters, just the Langyan martial arts masters. We will fight four of them alone. Unless we wait for the big battle in the valley. When it’s over, let’s borrow someone again. When the dust settles, will the Ghost Mother Church run away?”
"Not necessarily." Liang Qu stepped on the ship's board with the soles of his feet, "Aren't the dragon men coming to harvest the ice? They should bring a lot of people."
Lu Kaiyun's eyes lit up: "Let the Dragon Man go to fight the Ghost Mother Cult with us?"
Bai Yinbin looked back at the valley: "When I saw the confrontation in the valley before, it seemed that there was no dragon elder. Maybe it was that elder who came to collect the ice. He must be a peak martial artist! One versus two is not a problem, plus Zhong Brother Shi...has something to do!"
"Can the elders agree?"
"The Dragon Tribe has already spent five hundred thousand taels, so you don't mind doing a small favor for your allies, right?" Liang Qu guessed, "If we move quickly, we might be able to outflank the Ghost Mother Cult, and then turn around and enter the battle to support everyone. , those two credits are all ours.”
Come out to collect your energy and fight with steelhead fish is a private job.
Not so with the Ghost Killing Mother Cult!
Several people came out to escort the ice cube. Not only did they catch the spies of the Ghost Mother Cult, but they were also able to kill a small unit of the opponent with their weak strength. One person and one person would definitely have great achievements!
Ran Zhongshi made the decision immediately.
"Do as Ah Shui said! We managed to catch a wave of spies easily and find out the opponent's situation. This opportunity cannot be missed."
Outside the broad-belly ark.
Before Long Zongyin boarded the ship, he saw Ran Zhongshi greeting him warmly and lowering the hanging ladder himself.
"Hebosuo is so enthusiastic..."
