Chapter 761 Carrot Pit
Chapter 761 Carrot Pit
"Who?"
"you!"
"I?"
"Who else are you?"
Xu Wenzhu knocked on the table.
Liang Qu understood what he meant and quickly picked up the pot to make tea.
White mist billows up, tea leaves expand, and boiling water turns a bright yellow soup.
"Uncle Xu, please tell me in detail, how can I be capable of doing such a thing?"
"Octopus King, the sea monster king, I don't know what level he is at, but he's definitely not low. He's the master of the sea, a top monster, and equal to a master of heaven and man. Why would such a monster write to you, a small tiger hunter, for help when it's trapped? How many heads and hands do you have?"
Liang Qu nodded repeatedly: "One head and two hands, no more than others, I am actually puzzled."
“There are a lot of people like you in the caravan today. Even if Haifangzhu knows that you are talented and have a promising future, and gives you a few more years, what can you do to grow in ten years?
Even if you become a master or a great master, you still can't get involved, but Haifangzhu still sent you a letter, saying that she pinned her chance of survival on you. Think about it carefully, what is the key to you?"
Liang Qu's eyes showed thought.
He looked around.
At this time, there were Yang Dongxiong, Su Guishan, and Xu Wenzhu in the field...
"Umibozu actually wants to use me as a springboard to contact the imperial court?"
"You are a teachable boy. Most people who receive this note would not want to take risks. But you are different. You are unreliable and only care about benefits. You make two sea voyages a year, and you always get big treasure fish. The benefits of stability are cut off for no reason. You care more than anyone else. Moreover, you have the ability and skills to attract the attention of the court. Our gathering here today proves the meaning of the note."
"Ahem." Liang Qu was used to people making fun of the kickbacks of maritime merchants, so he didn't take it seriously and rubbed his hands. "Let the Martial Saint take action again? Prince Su and his men should still be in the imperial capital, so they should have some spare strength..."
Xu Wenzhu glanced at Liang Qu, raised his teacup and drank his tea.
"Give up. The imperial court will not send out a martial saint, or even any other master."
"That……"
"This is a different time. We can force the dragon in the middle of the year because the dragon cannot escape. We don't want its life, we just want to extort money from it.
The tiger hunting idea came to him on a whim, and the Martial Saint achieved unity between man and nature. It was rumored that the Octopus King was immortal and had the ability to divine. Even if the Four-Fields Heavenly Instrument was activated to block the secrets of heaven, it was possible that he could still sense it several days in advance, making him extremely difficult to kill.
We cannot kill him with one strike. If the imperial court goes out to sea in the future, there will be endless troubles. Moreover, if we rashly interfere in the affairs of the sea tribe, it will cause dissatisfaction among other sea monster kings. The benefits are not proportional to the risks. "
"Umibozu must understand this." Su Guishan's eyes flickered.
"So she must have been prepared, but she just lacked a spark. Maybe it's a precious medicine, or a precious material, or some magical method. All we have to do is send a little spark to help her start the fire. If it works, everyone will be happy; if it doesn't, the fire in the sea can't burn us."
Unraveled by Xu Wenzhu.
Liang Qu suddenly realized.
Xu Wenzhu put down the teacup.
"It is your task to figure out what Haifangzhu needs and what he can give back. Ah Shui is neither a martial saint nor a master, so he is not important enough. If he runs over there, he will be like a speck of dust, and it will be difficult to attract the attention of the Octopus King. However, he has endless abilities and means, so he is perfect for you."
have to.
A perfect carrot pit.
I can't fit in even if I gain weight.
"What do you think?" Yang Dongxiong turned around. "General Xu has explained everything to you. Do you want to go or not?"
"go with!"
Lan Jicai's divination only provides metaphysical support.
Xu Wenzhu's analysis gave him theoretical and practical basis.
The further you go in your practice, the harder it becomes.
The Toad King, the Dragon Man Lotus Seeds, and the profits from maritime merchants are the three pillars, and none of them can be missing. They are all stable income channels that he has established with great difficulty. Besides, how much extra income will he get if he defeats the Octopus Queen?
People are not rich without windfall, and horses are neither night nor fat.
His specialty is to fish in troubled waters!
…The tide is surging and water birds are circling.
The replacement of the blue octopus with the pink one caused a lot of discussion among the villagers, who argued whether it was the same octopus or if the fish had been swapped.
Liang Qu did not contact Haiyun rashly.
Firstly, Haiyun’s position is unclear, which may easily alert the enemy.
Secondly, he asked General Xu why Haifangzhu sent out the note but did not directly state the request and reward, but went through the trouble of doing so.
"It's either a trap or related to Octopus King's ability. The trap is too low-level, so it's most likely the latter."
There is too little information and no definite answer. We can only wait and see what the situation is.
"It's a big job."
Liang Qu looked at the orange sun and stretched lazily.
There were no opportunities or big things to do in the second half of this year. I didn't expect that there would be a leader who supports the ocean forces and is closely related to the Demon King.
Tomorrow we enter January. This year the Chinese New Year is late, and it will be in mid-February.
It’s almost two months, and I don’t know if I can make it home for the New Year if I work faster.
"Safe travels."
In the garden, Long Eying was tidying up Liang Qu's clothes.
"Don't worry, let's explore the route first. Once the waterway is built, it won't be much trouble to go back and forth."
Liang Qu carried Yuanmu on his back, held Fubo in his hand, wore the Mirage Tiger Arm Armor on his arm, a Yunlei Robe on his body, a Yuewang badge on his waist, and had a compass, map, ID card and other miscellaneous items in his pocket, looking very majestic.
He kissed the back of Eying's hand, turned around and jumped into the pond.
Go to the frog tribe first.
The gentleman does not stand under the wall.
The northeastern waters of the Jianghuai Lake are all dangerous. There are snakes in the former, iron-headed fish in the latter, and the worst is in the central area, where there are dragons.
The north is the estuary of the Yangtze River and the Huai River, and it cannot be avoided unless you take a long detour by land. However, it is possible to go to the East Region and the Central Courtyard. Liang Qu plans to go from the south to the west and then to the north, so as to run into the Huai River and go all the way east to the estuary.
Although it is a bit troublesome, it is safer.
and……
"Frog, what a great opportunity! As the leader of a faction, if we want to accomplish our mission, how much profit can we expect?"
The old toad was very excited.
Baby of the ocean...
Seeing that he was in a good mood, Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot.
"The troops follow orders, and the chess calculations are the strategic plans. I am inexperienced, and there are many dangers in mediating with the demon king. I need a frog like Frog, who is so skilled and can lead the way!
When the time comes, you can give me remote guidance, and the court will support me to get the top position. If I can't get the big share, the remaining scraps will be divided into five parts! The eight legs of the Octopus King, four for each of us! How do you think?"
Liang Qu was a little scared of the Octopus King's divination, so he decided to use magic to defeat magic!
Defeat divination by seeking good fortune and avoiding disaster!
"I want seven!"
"it is good!"
The two sides hit it off.
The old toad ran back excitedly to get the yellow leather bag, but he felt one was not enough, so he put two bags inside another and made a bulging solid bag!
It’s just an important matter at sea, so of course we have to inform the Frog King.
After explaining the reason, the Toad King saw that the old toad was willing, so he said nothing and just waved his claws.
So, the man and the frog set out on the journey hand in hand. During the journey, Liang Qu kept laying [vortex waterways] behind them, connecting the distant road like a water pipe, making it convenient for them to escape at any time.
A few days passed by.
Following the old toad's instructions, Liang Qu successfully arrived at the estuary. When he stuck his head out of the water, a gust of salty and fishy wind blew in his face.
