Chapter 279: Jumping Two Levels
The next morning.

A huge snake body tens of meters long lay across the pier, with bright red flesh exposed at the broken ends. It did not become dim due to the river breeze that had been blowing all night, and one could even see it faintly beating.

The vitality of the giant monster is evident.

The fishermen who were supposed to be out on the boat surrounded the big snake, marveling at it, and completely forgot what they were going out to do in the morning.

"Snake meat is very nutritious."

"Is it the one you talked about yesterday?"

"I think so. It's dark green, a color that's rare to see. It must be a snake, no doubt about it."

Li Libo, who was standing next to the big snake, smiled and said, "That depends on what Aliang's father says. Has anyone arrived?"

"I don't know, the boy is fast, he should be here soon."

During the question and answer session, a noise was heard on the long street.

"I'm coming!"

"Aliang's father is here, come on, come and see if it's that one!"

Aliang's father had a wooden board tied on his arm and was walking along the bluestone street with the support of Aliang. When he saw the big monster for the first time, he was so excited that he spat a lot of saliva.

"That's it, that's it, that's it."

There was an uproar in Shangrao Port.

There were two people who witnessed the water monster, one was Aliang and the other was Aliang's father. Both of them said that it was correct, and that was it.

Last night, the black-faced man looked up and patted his chest.

"Look, what did I say last night? If Lord Liang takes action, then there will definitely be victory! What's a big snake? If a dragon comes to our Yixing Town to cause trouble, Lord Liang will have to chop it up!"

"it is good!"

"Mr. Liang is mighty!"

Everyone cheered.

"It's all thanks to Master Liang that Yixing Town is so peaceful! In the past, there would be two or three disasters every month, and one or two people would die from time to time. Now, even an injury can cause such a big commotion!"

Someone shouted something that resonated with everyone.

"That's the truth!"

"Yes."

In the past, no one dared to go to deep water areas. At most, they would hang around ten miles away and keep a close eye on the distance to ensure that they would not go too deep and be killed by monsters. Now, there is no need to keep a close eye on the water section, and the catch is better.

The waters are dozens of miles deep, and if you row as fast as you can, you won’t be able to reach the end in a whole day!

Ordinary people don’t have that kind of energy!
In the past few months since the beginning of spring this year, only Aliang's father has been injured. Seriously speaking, it was his own problem. He would have been fine if he hadn't slipped.

So, that day, the people of Yixing Town once again sang the song of Liang Qu's kindness.

By the evening, even a three-year-old child knew about his feat of beheading the snake. It was known to everyone, and it once again cast a layer of mysterious and powerful aura over Liang Qu.

Even Liang Qu, who was staying at home, heard about it from Aunt Zhang.

I have to say it, it feels great.

He is an ordinary man with an ordinary temperament. He does not pursue justice too much, but he does have a certain sense of morality.

It’s not bad to hear people praising you.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Deep water area.

A dark green giant snake that was hundreds of feet long was coiled in the long room to rest. It suddenly opened its eyes, its pupils filled with confusion.

"what happened?"

While it was sleeping, its heart suddenly skipped a beat, as if it had lost something.

As a monster, it would not act on impulse for no reason.

Is there a demon that wants to kill it?
No, that's not right.

I haven't made any enemies with other monsters in recent times.

The big snake thought about it and could only think of the two offspring he had sent to the shallow water area a few days ago.

Could something have happened?!
The big snake was frightened and wandered around the long house in a panic.

Its strength has reached the level of a demon beast, so it has great difficulty reproducing offspring, and it only has three children in total.

A few days ago, the Jiaolong King flew into a rage for some unknown reason and arranged a mission to go south to explore. As a direct subordinate of the Jiaolong King, he naturally could not remain indifferent. He sent his own subordinates and offspring, and now...

No, I have to go take a look.

and many more.

Would the passing of demon beasts be regarded as a provocation by human martial artists?

The big snake was in a dilemma.

half an hour.

Let's wait for some time.

The monster has intelligence and it comes ashore abnormally, which can easily attract the attention of human experts.

Peace returned to the Changfang. …

The days fly by.

A few days after the snake was beheaded, the grand spectacle of flying in the sky for three days faded away, and all things that had been roasted and wilted revived again.

Two days later, the curfew ended.

The nights in Pingyang County have returned to their former bustling and lively state.

Chen Qingjiang is always smiling every day.

Fish are more active at night and more fish can be caught. It is really uncomfortable to fish for a whole day.

But the fat catfish resumed their night fishing routine, and everything seemed to have returned to normal.

Early mid-August.

Liang Qu was absent from work and eating peanuts at home when Li Libo hurried over and announced that an important person was coming to Hebo Station and all officials had to go to greet him.

VIP?

Liang Qu was delighted. Calculating the time, it was obviously the reward for the last time he wiped out the Ghost Mother Cult.

He hurried back to his bedroom, changed into his official uniform, and rushed to the river bank, but only found out the result when he arrived there.

It's early.

We have to wait at least another three hours, almost half a day!
Not all officials lived as close to Liang Qu as he did and were at home at the same time, so the messenger who arrived early deliberately left a gap of three hours so as not to impolite He Bo.

Liang Qu sat in Ran Zhongshi's study, blowing the ice, drinking ice yogurt, and killing time.

"You put too much sugar in it. It's too sweet. You should put more milk in it."

Ran Zhongshi, who was writing documents, rolled his eyes and said, "It's good to have something to drink."

Xiang Fangsu, who was also waiting, said casually.

"The people coming this time should be from Nanzhili. It won't be difficult for Ashui to take over the position. Ours will come later, and there will be a second wave."

Ran Zhongshi was not surprised.

"We have to wait for news from the imperial capital. Anyway, there is no rush for the reward, so it doesn't matter if it's a few days late."

The territory of Dashun was too vast, so for the convenience of management, this dynasty had two core centers.

One is the undisputed imperial capital, where the emperor dragon resides and commands the world.

The other was in Nanzhili, whose jurisdiction covered the entire lower reaches of the Huai River.

Its power is neither big nor small. It cannot formulate major policies, but it is responsible for implementing the instructions issued by the imperial capital in the south. It is a very useful "sub-heart".

Huaiyin Prefecture was also under the jurisdiction of Nanzhili. It was said that there were a number of powerful people there, among whom there were often great martial artists. The families of prominent families all had grand masters in charge.

There are two Martial Saints stationed there to guard the place. Apart from the capital, it is the place with the highest administrative level and the strongest comprehensive strength in the entire Dashun.

Within the jurisdiction of Nanzhili, officials below the seventh rank could be directly appointed and dismissed through the Ministry of Personnel, so Xiang Fangsu said that Liang Qu's news would be faster than theirs.

As for their promotion, Nanzhili had no say and had to report to the imperial capital for approval first.

Afternoon application time.

Wei Lin and Xu Yuelong stood at the front.

Everyone followed the two men and lined up in front of the entrance of the Hebo Office in an orderly manner. No discussion, conversation or coughing was allowed.

While it was solemn, the atmosphere was visibly joyful.

Who doesn’t like to be rewarded?
In a short while, a group of people and horses came running from the end of the road, raising a light cloud of dust in the distance.

Liang Qu had experienced a similar scene once before, so he was calmer than the martial arts officials around him.

A few miles away suddenly arrived.

The leader was a middle-aged man riding a strong black horse. He was in high spirits. As soon as he dismounted from the horse, he took out the album without any hesitation.

"Our emperor is a man of divine power and wisdom, and he is the first to show his bravery. At this time, the border is in turmoil, and the people are gathering together. He is now showing his grace and power...

Today, we are summarizing and consolidating the previous and subsequent military achievements to encourage the officers and soldiers to be more virtuous and to show the fairness of rewards and punishments!"

After reading the outline, the middle-aged man began to elaborate on the time and place, the actions of the Hebo Office and the Demon Hunting Bureau in eradicating the branch of the Ghost Mother Cult, and their corresponding achievements.

Then there was some praise and the start of rewarding according to merit, but when it was some people's turn, only their merits were recorded and the corresponding rewards were not read out.

Just like Xiang Fangsu said, the head part will come later.

Many martial artists who were unaware of the situation were panicking.

It was not until the officials of the sixth rank and above finished reading out the announcement and the specific rewards were announced that they suddenly realized.

It turns out that they are different from the ones above.

Liang Qu listened attentively, and after the middle-aged man read out the names of two or three people, he heard his own name.

"Liang Qu, a native of Pingyang County, Huaiyin Prefecture, was promoted to the rank of seventh-rank Du Shui Lang, and was awarded a fourth-rank Dragon Blood Horse Pill, two major merits, and one hundred and three minor merits!"

Promoted!

Skip two levels.

Seventh-rank Du Shuilang!
