Chapter 815 General Zhenhuai!
"What's the date on the invitation?"
"August 16th, Binghuo Day minus ten days, the auspicious day calculated by the third elder, there is still more than a month of ample time."
"Wait a few days first."
"Wait a few days?" A document appeared in front of Long Binglin, and he started to read it. "The rewards for Bai Yuan, Wa Gong, and E Ying?"
Liang Qu nodded: "The imperial delegation will arrive in about two days. We don't have anything important to do, so it's best to wait at home. It won't be a problem if we go two days later?"
Long Binglin understood the situation: "Of course it won't be a problem."
The matter of dealing with the Octopus King last autumn was not completely resolved. Wa Gong, E Ying, and "White Yuan" all contributed to the whole incident, and there was also the major event of the White Yuan "surrendering", but the promise made by the Lord of the Sea at that time was not actually fulfilled.
Only Liang Qu received the reward, which was a special favor.
Early July.
The Lord of the Sea was on his way to meet the Whale King. Although the resource rewards had not yet been fulfilled, the permanent sea merchants set up in April proved his sincerity.
It's just that Liang Qu didn't expect the timing to be so coincidental.
The delegation is called a "delegation", so there must be a lot of people coming. Even if there are good horses, it won't be as long as the second-grade dragon blood horse, which takes less than ten days to travel from north to south. It is estimated that he will be on the road when he leaves the imperial capital at the end of June.
"What rewards will I get?" Long Eying moved closer.
"I don't know."
Liang Qu casually put his arm around her waist and stroked her long hair.
The frog man has a recorder and military officer, which is an idle position like a staff member, but at least he is in the system and there is no problem in moving up.
The white ape surrendered and will be included in the system, which is also easy to deal with.
Long Eying·—·
"The lady of the imperial edict?" Liang Qu guessed.
"You and I haven't married yet, how can the Holy Emperor give us an imperial edict?"
"Special matters are handled specially."
"The Emperor of the Heaven and the Mandate of Heaven has decreed: to be vigorous and powerful, to be a minister of great strength; to show favor and grace, to show the grace of the emperor.
You, Long, are the wife of Liang Qu, the Earl of Xingyi County, the Cavalry Commander, and the Pingyang Hengshui Commander. You are also the eldest granddaughter of the great elder of the Dragon Clan. You are gentle and kind, and behave virtuously. I hereby grant you the title of a county lady."
The heat wave twisted.
The emperor sent an envoy to announce the edict.
The two suns soared in the sky and shone in all directions.
The golden axis coiled dragon rose and fell, shining with dazzling golden light, and the auspicious lotus embroidery on the document bloomed.
Long Eying held the imperial edict, her eyes full of surprise.
A county lady!
A woman outside the imperial court.
Only the mother or wife of a fourth-rank civil or military official can be given the title!
It hit the nail on the head!
Liang Qu couldn't believe it.
He said it casually, and it actually came true?
Moreover, the rank of the women outside the court is determined by the official position of their husbands. The county lady is of the fourth rank, which is obviously not based on his fifth-rank official position of Hengshui Wei, but on the title of county earl, and the one with the highest rank was chosen!
Before he could wonder.
A white belly swayed and stuck out.
"Quack, it's my turn now!"
"Don't worry, Elder Wa." The envoy was not annoyed, and continued to read the edict, reciting the achievements and official position of Mr. Wa.
Birds fly high in the sky, and the clouds are light.
It was another gorgeous verse, with high spirits, just like Lu Shi Canjun, who was still a long-term official of the nature of a staff, of the fifth rank, which made Lao He shake his head with joy.
When Lao He was promoted to the fifth-rank long-term official, he had made dozens of great achievements and happily took the edict and left.
Liang Qu stepped forward and asked, "Sir, E Ying and I haven't married yet, why——"
The envoy looked around and pretended to joke, "Could it be that Sir Liang suddenly regretted and wanted to choose another woman as his wife?"
Long E Ying's eyes were slightly slanted.
Liang Qu's face became serious.
"Of course not."
"In this case, His Majesty has said that the fourth-rank envoy has an annual salary of 13,650 taels. Although the imperial edict is given, this salary will be temporarily withheld and will be paid when the marriage is completed."
Good guy.
Delayed payment!
Before the marriage, I made a destiny first. Looking at the whole Dashun, I am afraid that Scorpion Baba is the only one!
It doesn't matter whether it is early or late.
Money in the pocket, meat in the pot.
Delighted.
After the two waves of imperial edicts were read, silk cloth, porcelain furniture and supplies were delivered to the government office one after another.
Long E Ying's cabinet has more new accessories.
The antique shelves in the hall were gradually filled up.
While both Frog Man and Dragon E Ying were rewarded, they still lacked the most important thing.
Midnight.
The oars stirred, breaking the moonlight.
Liang Qu picked up his long-unused black-sailed boat that had been moored at the pier, and carried the envoy to the lotus field where he made his fortune.
In the past, the lotus field would serve as a residence for the Yangtze River dolphins. Now the Yangtze River dolphins have opened a "Wanshi House" to solve the worries of the Yangtze and Huaihe water beasts. They have all moved to the vicinity of the frog tribe, and the entire water area has suddenly become much quieter.
He also transplanted most of the lotus roots in the field to his own pond.
It is of no great use, just a pond landscape.
The lotus flowers that bloom every year are large and fragrant, and their vitality is much stronger than that of ordinary lotus flowers, and they will not fade in autumn.
The envoy looked around with his hands behind his back.
"Is this the place?"
"This time it's here." Liang Qu opened the boat board, took out a bamboo tube, stuffed the prepared cloth strips into it,
screwed the tube cover.
"This time?"
"You don't know, the white ape is offering a bounty for the dragon, so it's not good to reveal whereabouts. So every time I meet the white ape, we will make a new appointment for the next meeting place. If we find each other in the meantime, we can put down the appointment request five days in advance and set a date for the next meeting. Sometimes we can't get it.
But no matter what time, there can only be one person at a time. If two breaths are sensed, neither will show up.
It will take a few days to send the message today. The envoy will sail here by himself, and tell me the next address after returning."
The envoy pondered.
"In this case, shouldn't we come and take a look every five days?"
"That's what I think, but I don't know about the white ape. Maybe it has other ways and doesn't need to work so hard."
The envoy laughed and said, "Be careful. No wonder the dragon couldn't find it after searching for several years. It must have the ability to help."
"A gentleman should be careful when he can't help, and should be careful when he can help. There are four demon kings in the Jianghuai Lake. Small and big demons want to seize their positions. How can they survive if they are not careful?"
"That makes sense. Thank you, Lieutenant Liang Heng."
"I will work hard for your majesty."
Plop!
Liang Qu dropped the anchor, jumped into the water with the bamboo tube, stuffed the bamboo tube into the crack of the rock, and then covered it slightly.
Six days passed in a flash.
The stars and the moon were hanging.
The envoy stood on the bow of the boat with the imperial edict in his hand on the agreed date, and the lake was surging.
The water beasts in Jianghuai all want to be the Dragon King and the master of the Dragon Palace. However, the Jiaolong is so powerful that there is almost no rival in the world. Only the white ape suddenly appeared, which made the Jiaolong angry for the first time and offered a reward to the whole Daze.
The Jiaolong and the Ghost Mother Sect are ambiguous. If one can be supported to replace the other, it would be great. By then, whether it is the Ghost Mother Sect or the chaotic Daze, the two century-old problems, may be solved once and for all.
Midnight.
Suddenly, the tide is full.
The waves surged under the black sail boat, as if the water beast broke open and swallowed the whole boat.
After Liang Qu's instructions, the envoy did not panic and quietly observed the surroundings.
The whole boat, including himself, was wrapped in a huge air mass, no, it should be said that it was a water mass, with a layer of water film separating other water flows.
Born with the ability to control water?
Splash!
In the darkness, a golden light shone. At first, it looked like two flames, burning fiercely. When it reached the end, it looked like two golden suns!
Half white and half silver long hairs were flowing.
Big monster!
A powerful big monster!
The envoy had expected it, and he was still shocked when he felt it himself.
A man and a monkey looked at each other.
"Is this the big monster that Jiaolong wanted to reward?"
"Why don't you read the edict?"
Hululu.
A string of bubbles came out of the big monkey's nostrils, as if urging.
The envoy understood, retracted his gaze, and took out the gold scroll from his waist.
It was not a precedent for a big monster to take the initiative to surrender to the court. The territory of Dashun was vast, and many big monsters in the deep mountains and old forests had enclosed their own land and became kings. There were also some who yearned for the human race, or simply wanted to stay under a big tree for shade.
For a monster beast, surrendering to the tiger king and the bear king was no different from surrendering to the human king.
Based on strength, the official position given by the court has no real power, but the rank is not too low, starting from Zhengsi.
The white ape is even more special. It has extraordinary significance and ability to defeat the dragon, and it is worth winning over.
In addition, the matter of the Eight-clawed King.
Therefore, it was discussed by the cabinet.
Just make a high profile.
From the second rank!
General Zhenhuai!
