Chapter 448: Use stillness to control movement!

The night is dark and the third watch has begun.

The wind is strong and the flags are in disorder.

The Qingzhou fleet folded its sails and sailed quietly in the darkness without lighting torches, leaving two lines of turbid waves, and occasionally the smooth backs of porpoises emerged.

Soldiers stood on both sides of the ship, their eyes sharp as sparks, patrolling and keeping watch.

Hearing the sound of the bell, the high-ranking officials of the government office stepped onto the prepared gangplank and came to the lead ship's deck one by one, waiting for the bell operator to calculate their position.

Liang Qu happened to be on the boat and had the honor of listening.

The dipper is on the top of the mast, and the dipper holder stands in the strong wind, protecting a flickering oil lamp in his hand, looking up, and circling and drawing according to the overseas star-gazing technique.

half an hour.

The fighter blew out the oil lamp, grabbed the rope and descended to the deck, kneeling on one knee.

"Reporting to the lords, this place is about 200 miles away from the destination by water. According to the current wind speed, it will take an hour and a half to travel normally!"

"Two hundred miles..." Yang Dongxiong looked up at the stars, "At this distance, if the anomaly is the Fairy Island on the Clouds, we may be able to observe it directly."

Zuo Heng, the chief commander of the Monster Hunting Bureau, leaned on the railing, stretched himself, and waved to tease the porpoises in the water.

"I have lived in the imperial capital for a long time, and I have occasionally heard of the wonderful scenery of the fairy island. It is a pity that I have never witnessed the grand scene with my own eyes. If I gain something from this trip, it will be worthwhile when I return in the future."

"No matter how beautiful the scenery is, what's the use if we can't get in? If we want the vision to be effective, we need to be at least 20 miles away. The closer the better. If we mobilize a large force to snatch food from the aquatic creatures, we still have to wonder whether we can get any."

On the deck, everyone was talking at once, but there was not much pressure. Some people were even yawning, and compared to the soldiers on guard, they seemed lazy.

Two hundred miles, not far.

Observing the surrounding conditions, it is clear that the strange phenomenon has not yet occurred. As long as it has not occurred, there is an opportunity for discussion and everything can be discussed.

Sui Hongyan looked at Xu Yuelong: "Do you want to keep going?"

Xu Yuelong shook his head.

"Stop moving forward for now and wait and see. It's still too early for the strange phenomenon to appear. The strange fish may have just noticed it and hasn't rushed over yet.

If we go there now, we will be in great force and will most likely come into direct conflict with the dragon people and the frog tribe.

Why not wait a day and let the dragon scouts find us first and contact us first? Then we can wait and see what happens and the strange fish will probably arrive. Then we can make a backup plan and use the yellow bird to catch the mantis. How about that? "

Everyone looked at each other, and then looked at Wei Lin under the night sky, only to see Wei Lin standing still, as if he was giving up command.

When faced with unusual phenomena in heaven and earth, the time advantage gained by knowing about them in advance is indeed a huge asset.

In addition, there were ten large ships, with an average of one tiger hunter on each ship. The sense of oppression was so strong that no one could ignore it.

According to their current state and strength, they are able to use stillness to overcome movement and wait for the opportunity to tire out.

Whoever speaks first is the first to be afraid.

He who is timid makes concessions and gains the advantage in negotiations. It is a very simple truth.

Besides, Xu Yuelong didn't want to show too much aggressiveness and ruin his relationship with the frog tribe and the dragon people.

I have only been working at the River and Lake Bureau for a year, and I will have to deal with many things in the future, so there is a long way to go.

Zuo Heng said, "The river and lake officials know more about water affairs than we do. We have only bought the boat tickets and do not know anything else. Naturally, we will listen to you."

"We share the same views as Commander-in-Chief Zuo."

People from the Demon Hunting Department and the Three Law Departments have expressed their opinions one after another, and the matter has been mostly settled. There is no need to ask about the several families, just follow their orders.

Xu Yuelong turned around and asked: "What do you think, Magistrate Jian?"

"Same."

"Okay!" Xu Yuelong said loudly, "From now on, everyone, don't sleep in and practice anymore. Be alert at all times to avoid any mistakes! And don't go on a long journey by boat without permission. I will not be responsible for any consequences!"

"As it should be."

After a simple meeting, the senior executives returned to the ship one after another, passed on news and orders, and arranged personnel to take turns on duty.

The anchors were dropped one by one, sank into the water, and the ship stopped moving.

The finless porpoises surround and protect them.

After arranging the fleet, Xu Yuelong further directed Liang Qu and others to work. It is true that his intention was to force the dragon people to take the initiative to contact, but he himself also had to have a clear understanding of the surrounding environment.

"Fang Su, take your men eastward..."

"Kaiyun, you..." "Ashui, you go..."

Water valley.

The dragon man swims on the water and arranges the environment.

Long Binglin held a brown drawing in his hand, with the entire valley in clear view, and some places were marked with blue and red dots.

"Is everything arranged?"

"Master Hui Lin, all the locations for collecting long qi have been arranged properly, and the Feng Shui and mountain terrain have also been unified. If a large-scale war breaks out in the valley, the tribesmen with wolf smoke and above may be able to get half a blessing!"

"Half done..." Long Binglin stroked the map and sighed in his heart, "It's better to have it than not to have it. Let's go down first and report back if there is any situation."

"Yes!"

The situations of Long Eying and Long Yanrui are similar.

As the vision was about to come into being, the three men issued orders more and more frequently, and after the construction was completed, almost half of the dragon people were sent out as scouts.

The frog elder is ashamed of being a frog, so he has nothing to say about the treasure hunt, but he is afraid that there will be other people watching.

"Don't let your guard down. Expand the detection range by another 50 miles. Report any movement of monsters immediately!"

"Remember to work in groups of three, never act alone!"

Somewhere in a corner of the valley that no one knows about.

In a narrow cave several inches in size, the blue centipede poked its head out slightly, counted the size of the dragon people and the frog tribe one by one, and reported it back.

The Qingzhou fleet was more than ten miles away.

Fat catfish with round head floating in the water.

Unable to move, with fists lying on the bottom of the water, and surrounded by a group of little porpoises.

It's rare for us to get together.

The fist-shaped carapace is brightly coloured and looks impressive, while the red back shell shows its extraordinary quality. It is obvious that it was well bred in Xiangyi County.

The fleet formed by He Bo was moving forward, and the water beasts under Liang Qu were also not idle. They took a shortcut through the heart of the frog tribe and rushed to support them with Toad Yi in their arms.

Liang Qu received Awei's message and asked Fat Catfish to divide the toad skin into several pieces and distribute them to everyone, and then go around to explore whether there are any monster settlements.

With Toad Clothes, exploring the environment is easy and safe.

At the same time, Yuantou led his troops to the east to investigate the movements of the strange fish.

The sky is bright.

Liang Qu was lying in the water grass and witnessed with his own eyes the two dragon men leaving from the direction of the fleet and rushing towards the valley.

Roundhead, who was leading the patrol, also received news that a "fish in armor" was approaching.

"It's a coincidence."

Liang Qu looked up at the sky, and the light was scattered.

He took the summarized intelligence and went on board to report.

The other end.

Long Binglin received reports one after another and felt heavy-hearted.

"A fleet is coming from the south, it seems to be the Dashun River Port!"

"There are strange fish in the east, two huge monsters! They are probably scouts!"

It turns out that I will never get the chance to keep all the good things for myself, but it comes too quickly!

The convergence of long air requires a corresponding container, which most strange fish do not have, but it does not mean that they cannot cause damage.

Long Yanrui was shocked when he saw the information.

"It's not surprising that the ironhead fish came. They are close, no more than a thousand miles away, and their perception is strong. Why did the Hebo Institute come so quickly? They are so far away... Could it be that they knew it earlier than the ironhead fish?"

"What do we do now?"

"Let's go and discuss this with the elders!"
