Chapter 722 Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Disaster
Chapter 723 Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune
Mountains and rivers are not important, but meeting a close friend is important!
The old toad looked up at the sky and realized that the hot spring was too hot today, making his skin loose all over his body.
There are many talented people in Hebo, but there is no one who can only say "Goodbye frog, you are all right". There is no one who knows me so well!
Woohoo, sad husband!
Liang Qu had an idea.
Strike while the iron is hot.
Wow!
The water foamed.
Otter opened the bucket, poured warm water on it, wrung out the towel, folded it into a square and rubbed the old toad's back.
The big beaver also put down the wooden stick in his hand, swung his tail, and patted the frog's back rhythmically.
The old toad stretched his whole body and spread it out evenly.
Comfortable~
Seeing that the atmosphere was coming, Liang Qu went straight in.
"Mr. Frog, I've been away for two months, but I have selfish motives and want to ask for something important."
"Liang Qing is the minister of my frog tribe, but it doesn't matter!"
The old toad raised his right web, and Otter Kai rubbed it to the end very boldly.
Liang Qu made some remarks and recounted the story of a dragon offering a bounty to a white ape, and that he was attacked and the court was prepared to wait for two months to regain face.
When he learned that Dashun was going to attack Jiaolong, Frog Gong's eyes lit up: "Can the imperial court kill Jiaolong and allow my frog clan to take over the Dragon Palace? I can just make him the King of Jianghuai."
"I'm afraid not."
"Can't you be crowned king?"
"We can't kill the dragon." Liang Qu regretted, "Mr. Frog, the dragon is very powerful. The King of Yue is only for the newly promoted martial saint, so he probably won't do anything during this trip. It's just to ask for explanations and benefits. Our frog tribe dominates the Jianghuai River. , there is a long way to go.”
The dream of Dragon Palace is shattered.
The old toad was so disappointed that he knocked his head on the ground.
Dashun is also unreliable.
Liang Qu continued: "The martial saints of the imperial court must not move lightly, but let the dragons gather to the Iron-headed Fish King. The three of them alone may not be able to frighten them and fall short of the success. Therefore, as Liang requested today, he asked the Toad King to help. Afterwards, There will be great rewards.”
The old toad's eyes moved swiftly.
"What to do?"
"Don't listen to Jiaolong's orders to cheer and help stop the Northern Fish Demon King. Don't worry, Mr. Frog, there is no need to face off and confront him head-on.
It's still early, so I can find an excuse to make the Toad King and the Ironhead Fish King openly have some conflicts and often go to make trouble.
When the court took action two months later, the Toad King just used this as an excuse to intercept the Northern Fish King midway and have a fight, so that he can pick the treasure afterwards! "
Xu Wenzhu, Su Guishan and others did not know everything about the situation under the water. On the contrary, they knew a lot.
The old toad clamored all day long to break into the Dragon Palace, avenge the old Dragon Lord, and enjoy the three thousand beautiful frogs in the Dragon Palace.
In fact, Toad King falls into the category of "listening to the tune but not the propaganda" and is far from a violent confrontation.
It is unrealistic to use the advantages and disadvantages to make people work hard.
Therefore, the court did not ask for much, only the Frog King prevented the Iron-headed Fish King and the Dragon from joining together.
After cultivating to the level of the Demon King, it is unknown whether the Iron-headed Fish King is working for the dragon.
If it is true, it would be a good thing to avoid an accident.
If it is false, Beiyu will probably take advantage of it and delay it, which will be easier.
There is no good quarrel between Jiaolong and Dashun. Rather than offending one of them, it is better to keep things as they are.
"Liang Qing, please explain the benefits clearly."
"Choose one of the great medicines of creation, any five of the great medicines, and half of the remaining treasures."
"What is the great medicine of good fortune?" asked the old toad.
"The saying in the imperial capital is a great medicine that can benefit the Martial Saint and the Demon King."
"It's impossible, it's impossible." The old toad shook his cheeks and waved his webs repeatedly, "There are so many treasures in the Dragon Palace that the dragons occupy them all. Why is this the only one?"
Liang Qu apologized with embarrassment: "Young man doesn't have the skills of a frog, so I wish I could work for the benefit of the frog clan."
"How much does Dashun plan to ask for?"
Liang Qu spread his fingers.
"It's going to be less, it's going to be less." The old toad jumped out of the hot spring and kept pacing, muttering something in his mouth, "For another way, the Frog Clan won't take any of these several miles away. You ask the Governor of Shuihe River to wait for me for two days, and I'll do it again. I’ll give you a number, and any extra will be mine!”
Liang Qu was stunned: "I'll go ask."
…
The nine-branch beast lantern candles are blazing, illuminating the surrounding area.
Su Guishan stroked his beard and looked at the big turtle at his feet.
"Is this frog really so magical?"
Wu Cangshou also found it unbelievable. He also sought good fortune and avoided misfortune. What the old toad said and did was too accurate.
"Perhaps Mr. Frog knows a lot about Mr. Long's wealth." Liang Qu explained, "I heard that Mr. Long Zezhong held a birthday banquet before and invited Mr. Frog to go. At that time, the king of the frog clan was just a little frog."
"Maybe."
"Uncle, do you think the court will agree?"
"If the dragon loses one point, the court will gain one point, and there is no need to give an extra good fortune medicine. There is no real hope. It's just that this matter is important and I can't make the decision alone. You can let it be estimated for the time being."
Su Guishan thought about it carefully, and he felt that it was really possible for the court to agree.
The old toad can guess the dragon's bottom line, so he can guess the imperial court...
inside the pond.
The old toad picked up a piece of wood, made wrinkles on its belly, and wrote and drew with the sawdust. He erased and wrote, and wrote and erased, as if facing the dragon, he was also a little uncertain.
Until dawn.
Plop.
Ripples ripple and frogs enter the pond.
…
early morning.
Birds chirped, and the noise flowed over the wall and into the courtyard.
The three elders and the first elder of the Dragon Clan emerged from the pond and personally protected Long Pingjiang from breaking through.
"Great Elder, Third Elder."
"Master Liang."
Long Zongyin greeted Liang Qu.
It was his first time to come to Liang Qu's residence.
Looking around.
The sun shines through the leaves, casting mottled shadows.
The pond is clear, small fish swim, two wooden houses stand side by side, a circle of spring grass and yellow flowers grow under the wall, big crocodiles turn over to bask in the sun, river otters and beavers shuttle back and forth under the shade of the trees, each busy, it really feels like a paradise.
However, at this time, Long Pingjiang has no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. He sits at the bottom of the pond, feeling a little nervous and stressed.
From childhood to adulthood, he has never received such high attention, and he has a sense of responsibility for the future of the tribe on his shoulders.
At this moment, Long Pingjiang really admires Long Binglin, Long Eying and even Long Yanrui.
He used to think that Long Yanrui, one of the three, had no opinion and lacked leadership compared to Long Binglin and Long Eying. However, after just a moment of responsibility, the pressure he felt was so great. The three of them have been like this since childhood, year after year, day after day, what kind of situation should they be in?
Only through personal experience can you know that it is a blessing to have someone to help you when you encounter difficulties.
The elder put down the sea butterfly in his hand, saw Long Pingjiang's tense back, and patted his shoulder: "Don't worry about breaking through the realm. If you succeed, it will be a blessing for our clan. If not, just come to see the scenery, and the clan will continue to move forward as usual."
"The elder is right. Today's facts are unexpected surprises. You don't have to be nervous." Long Zongyin followed and comforted.
"Hu, hu~"
Take a few deep breaths.
Long Pingjiang closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing and practiced.
The dragon man waited quietly, and Liang Qu sat on the steps to look forward to the result.
Tick-tock.
The dew on the leaves fell, and the ripples spread.
Half an hour passed, and the misty aura spread.
The fish in the pond stimulated their survival instincts and fled in panic.
Long Yao and Long Li first fished out the sea butterflies in the lake and raised them in water tanks. It was not yet the breeding season. There were about 40 butterflies in total. If one died, one less. The two treasured them very much.
Wait until noon.
Scarlet blood rose to the sky, and birds fluttered their wings in panic.
Long Pingjiang's aura rose visibly!
"Brother, it's done!"
Long Pinghe cheered.
"It's really possible..."
Liang Qu was surprised.
