Chapter 624 Wonders
"It is rumored that there is an evil dragon in the Jianghuai Lake. One day, it went crazy and wanted to eat 3,000 young boys and girls to practice martial arts. When crossing the bridge to enter the town, the dragon-slaying sword hanging under the bridge suddenly fell down and cut off the evil dragon's tail!
Wow, the spilled dragon blood had a strange fragrance, blooming all over the ground, and it fell on a pregnant woman crossing the bridge, causing her to have a miscarriage immediately. Before the midwife could arrive, a baby boy fell into the river with a splash.

Ke Wenbin joked: "The boy is the dragon crossing the river?"

The man was leading the horse in front and nodded continuously.

"Yes, yes, yes. The boy fell into the river. A man jumped off a bridge to save him. He searched for half an hour but couldn't find him. Everyone else thought the boy had drowned. Guess what happened, adults?"

"What's wrong?"

"Suddenly an old woman came out with a big red basin, and a baby boy was lying inside it, smiling! It turned out that the baby boy was sprinkled with dragon blood, and could breathe water when he was born. He fell into the river and floated all the way to the east river head, where he was picked up by an old woman who was washing clothes. She wanted to take him home to raise him!
So when the 'dragon crossing the river' from the Jianghuai Lake came to Pengze, General Yuan noticed it and thought it was so kind, like a son or nephew! When he heard that his eldest nephew came to Huangzhou to celebrate his birthday, he immediately scraped off a piece of tortoise shell and gave it to Old Master Xu as a birthday gift. "

Strange.

It's stylish.

Could it be that Liang Qu paid someone to arrange this?
Ke Wenbin complained in his heart.

"Hey, I've just arrived. Sir, the Xu family compound is in front of us. I can't go any further. You asked me to lead the way out of kindness. I can't go up to you and let the gatekeeper humiliate you."

"That's a good point."

Xiang Fangsu searched his pocket and pulled out a small ingot.

"Thank you for your reward, thank you for your reward. I wish you a promotion, wealth and a good wife! May the autumn seedlings grow taller and taller!"

Xu family residence.

"Who are you two visiting? Do you have a visiting card?"

"Where's Guojianglong? Tell him to come out and stop hiding in the house. Tell him that our enemy is here today! We'll decide who's better, and who lives or dies!"

"My Lords, please stop joking. Are you two good friends of Lord Liang?"

"Yes, one is surnamed Ke, the other surnamed Xiang. He will know the names when you tell him. Go and tell him quickly. Oh, tell him to bring more silver. He hasn't eaten all day and heard bad things right after getting off the boat. He has to treat us!"

The concierge smiled.

After just a few words, I knew they were good friends. So I didn't dare to delay and sent someone quick to report.

In no time.

Liang Qu was overjoyed when he saw Xiang Fangsu and Ke Wenbin at the door.

Come before you.

"Tiger Hunter Master?"

Xiang Fangsu grinned: "I was released from the customs a few days before I came here. It's a rare opportunity to go on a business trip, so it's a good time to come out and have some fun."

"Great, great, great, Brother Xiang has achieved the Great Martial Master level, we should celebrate!"

"Don't say so much. Did you bring enough money?" Ke Wenbin put his arm around her shoulders. "You've been in Huangzhou for more than a month. Where can you find delicious food? Shouldn't we go and try some?"

"I'm ready!"

Liang Qu patted his waist pocket, and the heavy silver made a crisp sound.

"Let's go to Huangzhou's famous tower!"

Qixia Tower.

The table is full of delicacies.

The fragrance is diffused.

"How is Pingyang Prefecture?"

Ke Wenbin picked up some peanuts and threw them into his mouth: "It's the same as always. You left in late September and now it's mid-November. What can change in one or two months? Oh, yes, you did some farming, raising frogs and rice.

There were two herbal medicine merchants who came to Pingyang Prefecture with a lot of money to buy land. The Weng family was alarmed and said they wanted to take part in it. "

"Make some small things and earn some pocket money."

"Pocket money?" Ke Wenbin sneered. "I don't think so. If you have more land, you have to pay taxes. Don't under-report it. There will be no canal to dig. If you can't pay, you will be arrested and sent to build the Great Wall."

"I, Liang, have always been law-abiding. Even when I was the poorest, I never missed the autumn tax."

There is a limit to the tax exemption for officials and martial artists.

Liang Qu bought a large amount of land, which had long exceeded the tax exemption for his official position. However, he had to pay for it in person before, but now the minor officials come to pick it up in person, so he doesn't have to take it to heart.

Furthermore.

Little money.

Xiang Fangsu pondered and said, "As for the big things, it's not that there aren't any, but they are still under discussion and haven't been finalized."

"what's up?"

"Pingyang Prefecture is discussing whether to build a city wall."

"City wall?" Liang Qu was surprised. "Why build that thing? Can it stop the tiger hunting master? The wolf smoke master? Isn't it a waste of money and manpower?" "Well, it's not the small wall you think. If we really build it, it will at least be a small pass."

"Xiaoxiongguan? It's useless to come to Daxiongguan, right?"

"You do not understand?"

"What should I know?" Liang Qu scratched his head, realizing that there must be something hidden. "I was born in a peasant family, unlike you who have been to the Imperial Observatory since childhood and have seen the Four Fields Astronomical Instruments, and are very detailed."

Xiang Fangsu dipped his chopsticks into the tea, drawing a winding curve.

"You must have heard of the Great Wall, the frontier fortress, right?"

"I know, birds can't fly away, and people can't walk away."

"Does Yunshang Fairy Island have you?"

"Well……"

"Think about it together?"

Liang Qu frowned.

Think for a while.

"Building wonders can achieve an effect similar to that of true energy?"

Ke Wenbin snapped his fingers: "Smart! As expected of a boy who can climb up after falling into the river for half an hour, he has been extraordinary since he was young!"

Liang Qu was too lazy to pay attention.

As soon as the two of them arrived, they started making fun of the matter, and they kept talking about it.

Naked jealousy!

"Yes, the help to the real power lies in the momentum. The stronger the momentum, the stronger the player. The faster the shot, the harder the shot.

They are all horse-riding martial artists, three hundred independent cultivators and three hundred soldiers. Among them, the soldiers may not be able to beat the independent cultivators who have been fighting for a long time in a one-on-one fight.

But if three hundred against three hundred, and they line up neatly, it is the soldiers who will win. This is called 'momentum'! And 'momentum' cannot only be achieved by numbers, but also by the 'spectacle' you mentioned."

Ke Wenbin put down his chopsticks: "No need to go to such lengths for ordinary prefectures and states. Aren't we going to face the Ghost Mother Cult?"

"So Pingyang Prefecture is planning to create a spectacle?"

Xiang Fangsu shook her head: "We still need to discuss this. Actually, this matter is related to you."

"I?"

"Didn't you trick a mermaid tribe from somewhere? The Hebo Office is planning to build an island for trade, so the government office proposed to do it in one step, and create a 'dragon spits out a pearl', with the water island as the dragon pearl and the pass as the dragon, so that it can be used for attack or defense."

"How should I put it?" Ke Wenbin held his head with both hands and leaned back on the chair. "The wonder is good. If we encounter a tough battle, the strength of the wonder can be several times higher. However, the cost is too high, and it is basically on the defensive side.

Our relationship with the Ghost Mother Cult is mostly based on active attacks. So the Hebo Office and the Demon Hunting Division are all hesitant about whether it is worth it.

What's more, Pingyang Prefecture had experienced turmoil once and had not recovered for several years. It is hard to say whether it has the ability to rebuild it by itself. The Ghost Mother Cult might even deliberately attack because of this.

Yes, Ah Shui, weren’t you a fisherman before? After the city wall was built, it would definitely not be as convenient for fishermen to catch fish in the future.”

It’s a big deal.

Liang Qu smacked his lips.

Xiang Fangsu put down his chopsticks.

"Come on, come on, let's raise our glasses. It's a rare opportunity to go on a long journey, why think so much?"

Three cups clinked together.

Liang Qu's eyebrows were full of joy: "Let's not talk about the troubles, let's talk about the happy things."

"Stop." Ke Wenbin raised his hand. "If you want to say that your Great Hunting Club defeated the Three Hunting Tigers and that the Xu family gave away the armor pieces of Pengze Demon Head at their birthday party, then that's not necessary. I've heard it all along the way."

"How is that possible? I'm the kind of person who brags about himself?"

"Happy events have nothing to do with you?"

“Yes, it is, but the incident itself did not happen to me.”

Ke Wenbin and Xiang Fangsu looked at each other and let down their guard.

"Say it."

Liang Qu folded his arms and leaned on the table.

"My master has become a master, did you know that?"
