Chapter 458: He Bo is so welcoming
Chapter 458: He Bo is so welcoming
"We need to find an opportunity to talk face to face."
Long Zongyin sat cross-legged on a huge rock, twirling his pearl bracelet, thinking about finding an opportunity to meet.
Long Binglin and Long Eying were young, and their intentions were too obvious, so He Bo noticed something unusual. He didn't know what kind of misunderstanding it caused, which led to them deliberately covering up and being on guard that day.
It's not easy to contact each other privately...
"Pingjiang, Pinghe!"
"Elder!"
"When the clan has gathered their strength, the two of you will return to Pingyang Prefecture and stay by Lord Liang's side as guards.
Not to mention serving you at your side, at least be a capable subordinate. I will go to the Hebo Office and try to see if I can get you two a position, and try to get you both transferred to work under Lord Liang. That would be the best."
"An official position?" Long Pingjiang hesitated. "Elder, forgive me for speaking frankly, but will the Hebo Prefecture agree? We dragon people are foreigners after all, so will it be okay for us to serve in the court... In addition, after taking up the post, do we still need to look for the traces of the Dragon Lord in Pingyang Prefecture?"
Long Zongyin shook his head.
"It's better to have an outsider. The Hebo Office can cooperate with the Dragon Clan, give them a few low-rank official positions, and deepen their relationship. This is a good opportunity to open up the situation in the Great Swamp and use us as a springboard to contact the Frog Clan.
Even if it doesn't work, if the Dragon people take the initiative to surrender, it can be regarded as an achievement for the officials. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages, so it is unlikely to be rejected."
I have cooperated with Hebo Law Firm once. The price offered by the other party was high, but considering such a big thing as consolidating our business, it was not too outrageous.
The two sides already have a basis of trust.
The foundation of trust means one followed by two, three, and four, which makes Long Zongyin's attempts gradually bolder, he said while thinking.
"The only thing is to be transferred to Liang Shuilang's command... All the defenses of the river and lake must be communicated with Liang Shuilang in advance before they can be accomplished.
The search mission in Pingyang Prefecture cannot be neglected. Let Long Zijian and Long Zihe take care of them. I will send someone else to Xiangyi County. How do you think?"
The two brothers looked at each other and knelt on one knee.
"Subject to the elders' arrangements!"
"Ah."
The bottom of the water fell into silence.
moment.
"By the way, Pingjiang, Liang Shuilang, is he fond of women?"
"Women?" Long Pingjiang thought for a moment and shook his head, "No, Lord Liang is a man of integrity. He lives in a large courtyard with three entrances. Apart from the water beast, there are only two old men living there.
There are three, oh, four servants. A teenager takes care of the horses. Two women do the laundry and cooking. A young woman was recently arranged to come in to help out. She looks ordinary and is the son of one of the women.
He basically has no bad habits, and is relatively decent to his own people, supporting them a lot, but as for outsiders and enemies... I have only followed him on a field mission once to deal with a snake demon, so I had little contact with him and don't know much."
Long Pingjiang recalled the time when Liang Qu went to Xiangyi to kill the snake demon and "extorted money".
Not bad, but a little dusty.
After all, they were not one of them, so the two of them could not determine the right or wrong of the matter and had to pretend to be ignorant.
Long Zongyin nodded.
"Not lustful... but you can send two dragon girls over there."
That day I heard about Liang Qu's ability to enlighten people, which seemed to have no impact on race.
He and the other two elders all found it extremely mysterious.
The Jianghuai region is vast, who knows if there will be any rare and exotic beasts that are no less powerful than the Dragon King?
Don't be arrogant.
Therefore, the Dragon Clan attached great importance to making friends with Liang Qu, and almost listed it as one of the most important things in the clan.
If the Dragon King really cannot be found, dies, or the dragon successfully seizes the throne, Liang Qu may really become the dragon race's only hope of survival.
But even so, Long Zongyin would not send the dragon girl to bed and do something flattering.
The dragon people are not numerous, and every family is related to each other.
According to seniority, which dragon girl wouldn't call him Uncle Zong Yin or Grandpa?
They are all relatives of Jiaxu.
The other party is fond of women, is evil and ruthless, and must not push his people into the fire pit.
Since he is not interested in women, he can arrange two of them to be maids without any worries and cultivate their relationship.
There is no harm in success or failure.
"Try to find two smaller ones, not too conspicuous..."
In response to the strategic plans proposed by the other two elders, Long Zongyin thought of various ways to make peace.
a long time.
Waves spread from the other side of the valley, and the surging water could be felt by people dozens of miles away.
There was a fighting over there in the valley!
Looking from afar.
The frog tribe and the ironhead fish turned into black spots, crashed into each other, swung their weapons, and the white turbulence danced wildly.
The dragons and humans 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. It spread its wings and...
It’s too far away to compare how big it is, but it’s a circle larger than the surrounding true energy!
One can't help but think of the red firebird that was slaughtered by the Toad King.
The earth shook and the mountains trembled, and turbulent currents flew everywhere.
Long Zongyin is as steady as a mountain.
With the elder saying so, the young dragons had no choice but to suppress their anxiety and continue waiting.
Such a large battlefield wouldn't make much difference with more or less of them, so we should focus our attention on the ice ships transporting ice from Hebo.
The war gradually intensified, the dense black spots in the center of the water layer became sparse, and injured frogs, fish, and people fell to the bottom of the water like raindrops.
"Elder, the boat is coming!"
Long Zongyin looked up.
Four wide-bellied boats slowly approached from the river.
"Go, get up!"
Leaping up from the rock, Long Zongyin floated upwards, and dozens of dragon people responded.
On the deck of the Broadbelly Ark.
A row of "boatmen" had "heavy makeup" on their faces, and they washed them clean one by one with water.
The steward stepped forward and felt around one by one, tearing off all the fake skins to reveal their true appearance.
Every one of them is different from their original appearance!
With the great martial artist Ran Zhongshi in charge, he acted quietly, and the spies on the four ships couldn't cause any waves at all.
Liang Qu didn't have time to use his fifty refined black water arrows. He only used a few ordinary arrows to shoot off the enemy's limbs, and the battle was over.
He glanced around with lowered eyebrows.
"This batch of scouts is of high quality!"
Among the "lurkers" tied up on the deck, there are twelve galloping horses and two smoke signals masters!
Ran Zhongshi nodded and looked to both sides: "Interrogate them separately."
"Got it!"
Lu Kaiyun, Ren Yipeng and others each picked up one person and took him to the room prepared by the steward for interrogation.
Ran Zhongshi personally questioned the remaining two wolf smoke masters who were trapped in a "sweet dream".
Two quarters of an hour later.
A compilation of intelligence from multiple sources.
There are slight differences, but they all come together to form a relatively clear thread.
When faced with torture, human will is not as strong as imagined. Martial arts masters will be a little stronger, but not much.
Liang Qu stepped forward.
"A middle-level tiger hunter master and a lower-level tiger hunter master, the two of them are leading sixteen wolf smoke masters waiting forty miles to the north? Are they planning to watch the fire from the other side of the river?"
Forty miles away, neither far nor near, neither helping nor not helping, obviously just waiting and watching the situation.
Ren Yipeng held his chin and said, "It seems that the relationship between the Ghost Mother Cult and the Ironhead Fish is not as good as imagined."
Bai Yinbin looked around.
"Two tiger hunters and sixteen wolf smoke warriors. We don't have enough manpower. There is only one great warrior, Brother Zhongshi. Not to mention the great warriors, we have to fight four wolf smoke warriors alone. Unless we wait until the battle in the valley is over and then borrow some people, by that time the dust has settled, will the Ghost Mother Church run away?"
"Not necessarily." Liang Qu stepped on the board with his feet. "Aren't the dragon people coming to collect ice? They should bring a lot of people with them."
Lu Kaiyun's eyes lit up: "Let the dragon people join us in fighting the Ghost Mother Cult?"
Bai Yinbin looked back at the valley: "When I saw the confrontation in the valley before, it seemed that the dragon elder was not there. Maybe it was that elder who came to collect the ice. He must be a peak martial artist! One against two is not a problem, and with Brother Zhongshi... there is something going on!"
"Will the elders agree to this?"
"The Dragon Tribe has already paid 500,000 taels, so they shouldn't mind doing their allies a small favor, right?" Liang Qu estimated, "If we move quickly, we might be able to outflank the Ghost Mother Cult, then turn around and charge into the battle to support everyone. The credit for both efforts will be ours."
Coming out to gather your strength and fight with the ironhead fish is a private job.
The Ghost-killing Mother Cult is not like that!
Several people came out to escort the ice. Not only did they capture the spy of the Ghost Mother Cult, they were also able to kill a small unit of the other side with their weak strength. Each of them definitely made a great contribution!
Ran Zhongshi made the decision immediately.
"Do as Ah Shui said! We finally caught a group of spies and found out the situation of the other party. We can't miss this opportunity."
Outside the Broadbelly Ark.
Before Long Zongyin boarded the ship, he saw Ran Zhongshi greeting him warmly and personally lowering the ladder.
"Heboso, very enthusiastic..."
