Chapter 1026: Shake the Sheets and Enter the Imperial Capital
Chapter 1026: Shake the Sheets and Enter the Imperial Capital (Two in One)
"No comment?"
Nanshan Hou and Yu Fei were greatly surprised.
"It's not that I don't want to, but I have to hold a public office. I can't disclose it without permission, which would betray the trust of His Majesty. If you two have nothing else to do, please go back. If you are free, I will host a banquet for you at Jinzun Pavilion."
Liang Qu stood with his hands behind his back, his clothes hanging down, and his long boots stepped on the water, creating ripples, without sinking an inch.
Say it.
He turned and left, strolling leisurely in the garden among the summer lotus leaves and small boats.
The young boys and girls boating on the Jishuitan Lake looked up, feeling that the scene was extremely elegant.
If you learn this skill, how handsome you will be when you go out?
Wouldn’t the young men and women on the street be fascinated by him?
Nanshan Hou and Yu Fei were unwilling but helpless.
They didn't have any energy that could control water, so if they wanted to catch up with him, they could either step quickly and use the short-term buoyancy to run or just swim into the water. Both were too unsightly. After all, they were well-known figures, and they couldn't hold their heads up in the water and talk to Liang Qu.
It's really frustrating.
It was no small matter for Liang Qu to travel thousands of miles to the imperial capital.
What did he say to the Holy Emperor that could make the two people who were already sitting in the side hall go back home?
For many things and events, if you have first-hand information, you will have a great chance of making huge profits.
Just like a general volunteering to fight, the moment he falls behind, he loses the opportunity.
Although they are in high positions, they will not give up progress easily.
They had heard that Liang Qu had just brought back a good thing from the northwest not long ago, and it was still on the way, causing a lot of sensation and making people curious about its scale.
pity……
"The rise of the Earl of Xingyi is really getting faster and faster. He is only twenty-four this year, right?"
I vaguely remember the magnificent scene when I broke through and hunted tigers and reached the level of elephants, but it has only been a few years.
Ordinary people are not qualified to know about the big things going on now.
"joke……"
Liang Qu certainly knew what the two were thinking.
If the Dream Dynasty is real, the underworld may appear in the world. Not to mention a marquis or a third-rank official, even those who are not core martial saints are not qualified to know!
Even for the sake of safety, the Martial Saint shouldn't reveal it!
I actually wanted to find out what he was thinking.
"I haven't come to the capital to eat for a long time. I'll take Eying to Jinxiu Garden tonight to try it." Liang Qu thought.
Xiang Fangsu's family owns many restaurants, so if they want to entertain guests, they can go to Jinzun Pavilion and Jinxiu Garden and won't charge him any money.
"I always feel like I've forgotten something..."
Qin Tianjian.
"Mr. Lan, is this the only information you have about the Eagle as one of the eight beasts?" Liang Qu shook the album in his hand.
"That's right. Barstai is a third-level Zhenxiang, a master of heaven and man, and he is less than a hundred years old. He is quite young for a Zhenxiang, and his moves are fierce. The court records are not as many as those of the old masters, and the power of many of his magical powers is not so clear.
Moreover, this person has a calm personality and doesn’t like taking risks. There are basically no survivors in border conflicts. He is very careful in doing things, so he is less exposed in conflicts.”
"A person of Gou Dao?"
"Gou Dao? Haha, your word is interesting, but it's not that serious." Lan Jicai slid down the wide bookshelf stairs, "This man is called Xiong Ying, and as his name suggests, he is very good at investigation. It seems that no one can escape his eyes.
And one thing is, he has a martial saint master, whom he worshipped during the wolf smoke, and he also carries a martial saint token with him. You must be careful about this, and on this trip, he may ask more than just his master for it."
Liang Qu nodded.
Everyone has a network of connections, and it is unrealistic to say that such a powerful master of heaven and earth does not know the Martial Saint.
"But there's no need to be too nervous. Many things are actually pretty much the same. The magical skills in the world always involve sacrifices and trade-offs. You can't just take all the benefits for yourself. People with strange magical powers often don't have enough comprehensiveness to stand on their own.
You can join the Twelve Wolves, and they can cooperate with each other, but you can't stand in the position of the Eight Beasts. Most of those who can be given this title have a similar fighting style to you, and one person can easily beat two or three. "
"I?"
"You are so powerful and indestructible, you will win the fight." Lan Jicai stretched out his hand from his sleeve and clenched it into a fist. "One hand is a spear and the other is a shield! Grab with both hands! Both hands are strong! The same is true for Balstai."
"Thank you, Mr. Lan." Liang Qu stuffed the copied pages into his arms, ready to go back and study them carefully.
The three realms of cultivation that also involve heart fire, rituals, and the Martial Saint Token must not be taken lightly.
"It's a small matter. It's just an order from His Majesty. By the way, I heard that you moved a mineral vein out of the Snow Mountain? Is it two or four miles long? How did you do it?"
hiss!
Liang Qu woke up suddenly, and he suddenly remembered what he had forgotten.
I was so busy talking about the Dream Dynasty that I forgot about the Ice Spring I dug up. Just transporting it is a hassle. I need to decide where to put it sooner...
On the one hand, it saves Long Binglin from running back and forth, and on the other hand, the iceberg will melt and "settle down" earlier, so Long Eying will not have to go out every once in a while to consolidate.
"Forget it, it's alright anyway, let's go speed up the iceberg!"
The matter is of great importance, and the Holy Emperor will definitely not give a reply for a while. Liang Qu feels very free recently.
After several months of clamor and noise, Long Binglin and his companions finally arrived at the canal after receiving visits from countless prefects, state governors, and wealthy families along the way.
Beijing-Lancang Canal.
I just said goodbye to the magistrate of Cangzhou, who was still in shock.
Long Binglin steered the "iceberg" all the way upwards, using the water flow to lift it up and moving slowly forward in the mud.
The Huai River is very wide, so there would not be any difficulties even if there were many hairpin bends. However, the Beijing-Lanzhou Canal is different. It is not that it is not wide enough, but that the water in the canal is much shallower, and it is very easy to run aground in many places.
Especially in the Nanwang section of the canal, there was little rainfall last year, there was a slight drought, and even a water shortage and dryness that made it impossible for ships to navigate.
It is said that the imperial court was planning to send people to the nearby Dawenli to build a dam to block the water, and then build a Xiaowen River to divert the water of the Dawen River into the canal to solve the water supply problem.
But it has not been repaired yet. As luck would have it, the "iceberg" is not hollow. It is solid and made entirely of rocks and soil. It can absorb very deep water and it is often scraped into the mud at the bottom of the river.
Martial artists all have unique methods of unloading force, which allow them to disperse one point of force to ten different places to prevent it from breaking, but they cannot spread it out to the size of covering an iceberg.
Yuantou was calling on his brothers to work harder, and the two dragon sturgeons were also dragging with all their might.
Long Binglin transformed himself into a ten-foot-tall dragon man and used all his strength to drive the water flow, acting as a "lubricant" between the bottom of the boat and the mud.
The merchant ships passing by were all shocked and curious.
"I was wondering why the canal was so slow, why didn't you tell me earlier that it was blocked?"
"Elder!"
The creatures inside the iceberg were perked up, and before they could react, a colorful "fruit plate" came running over.
"My Lord, the weather is very hot. Please eat some fruits to quench your thirst. They are all seasonal fruits in September, including grapes, pears, and winter dates."
"Huh!"
The little mirage dragon spat and watched the hedgehog being so attentive.
Liang Qu picked two grapes from the top and handed them to Long Eying, who also felt good about having a "fruit plate". Walking along the river, whenever you come to a forest, the hedgehog will run in and come out with a back full of wild fruits in a short while, which is also an extraordinary ability.
"By the way, I don't think I have given you a reward for the Yuequan Temple matter yet?"
It was the little hedgehog who came up with the strategy of asking the Bai family to send Moon Spring Water as a way of retreating to advance. However, since he did not have any water beasts under his command, Liang Qu could not give him the essence of water.
"Yes, yes." The little hedgehog waved his paws repeatedly, "Didn't the master open the treasure house of Yuequan Temple and let us in to feast on the treasure?"
"Let's put things in perspective. That's a benefit that everyone has. It's not a reward if everyone has it. Those who have made contributions should receive special rewards." Liang Qu opened his mouth and ate the grapes that Long Eying had peeled and stuffed into his mouth.
"Then...it's all up to you, sir."
Liang Qu thought for a moment and said, "I heard that there is a Bijia orchard on Zilan Mountain in the imperial capital. There are many precious fruits in it. I happen to have some connections. I will go find someone and let you go in for two days. How much you can find and how much you can eat will all be counted on your ability. How do you think?"
The hedgehog's eyes lit up: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir! I just love eating fruit!"
"Elder." Long Binglin, who had listened to the conversation, spoke up.
Liang Qu continued: "Why didn't you call me if you were blocked?"
Long Binglin was a little embarrassed: "Although it is blocked by silt, it is not impossible to force it through. It's just that the speed is a little slow. I am sorry to disturb the elder."
"I have nothing to do anyway. Leave the remaining half of the canal to me. Hold on tight, sit tight, and get ready to go. Yuantou, lead the tribe fish to the front to open the way, and make all the merchant ships get out of my way."
This statement came out.
The little mirage dragon came down quickly and wrapped itself around Long Eying's forearm. The toad, golden tiger, and wild boar all found rocks to hold on to. The bat squeezed sideways into the cracks in the rocks, blinking its two black eyes.
Yuantou bit the Liangqu official flag and moved forward.
Canal boats gave way wherever it went, leaving a wide road as far as the eye could see.
"Further forward, further forward, keep swimming!"
After receiving the order, Yuantou worked harder until its location appeared in the mental link dozens of miles away. There were porpoises guarding every half mile along the way, and the area was still expanding.
The ships on both sides were confused.
Until.
"call."
Liang Qu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then stood in the center of the iceberg, opened his hands, and clenched them into fists.
In an instant.
The water flow in the center of the entire canal began to rise rapidly, and then two higher water bags rose on the left and right sides of the "iceberg", like two small buns of a child.
However, if you look down from a higher place, you will find that the entire canal seems to have turned into an endless stretch of frosty white silk, with an invisible big hand pinching the two corners and gently pulling it up.
The boatman on the merchant ship was in panic, hugging the edge of the boat and the mast, not knowing what was happening.
Long Yao and Long Li felt that the face looked familiar for some reason, and they rushed to grab Long Eying's left and right hands without waiting for the two to say anything.
Liang Qu raised his forearm upward again, and then suddenly dropped it!
Shake it hard!
The "frosty white silk" swelled rapidly, just like a piece of cloth holding a breath of air. The "water bag" rising high from under the iceberg lifted up the "iceberg" and rushed straight forward!
boom!
The wind suddenly rises!
The merchant ships on both sides were shocked to find that such a huge "iceberg" actually "shaked" out, breaking away from the mud at an extremely fast and exaggerated speed and disappearing on the spot!
The two-kilometer-high iceberg suddenly rushed forward at an alarming speed!
day!
All the crew members lying on the deck had their pupils shrunk to the size of needle tips. They suddenly climbed up from the ground, lay on the edge of the ship, stretched their necks to look, but in just a few breaths, the "iceberg" disappeared from their sight!
"what!!"
Long Yao and Long Li screamed.
They finally figured out why it looked familiar!
Because that’s what we do every day when we make our bed and shake out the sheets!
Dozens of miles away, the round-headed people once again raised the flag to lead the way.
Ragged and hunted.
So refreshing!
Liang Qu stood proudly at the bow, feeling relaxed and cool, not even feeling the summer heat!
The Nanwang section is close to Cangzhou. The journey that originally took Long Binglin ten days was rapidly shortened at this moment!
Rumble!
The water surface was shaking constantly and countless splashes of water were jumping.
The fishermen in Cangzhou were terrified, thinking that a dragon was turning over. Before they could flee to the shore, a black shadow flew towards them quickly from a distance, growing from the size of a sesame seed to something endless!
As fast as a galloping horse.
Gallop past!
Wow!
The surging waves squeezed the small-boats and fishing boats together, and the "iceberg" squeezed the "silk". Countless big fish were forced out of the water and fell down one after another!
"Be good!"
Without even taking time to marvel, the young fisherman quickly lay down, grabbed the big fish that was swinging its tail and trying to jump out of the cabin, and hurriedly stuffed it into the waterproof compartment.
"Wuhu!"
On the iceberg, everyone and every animal gradually adapted and enjoyed this extremely refreshing scene.
How fast is this "iceberg"?
In reality, it is not as big as the Treasure Ship and Chishan, but combined with the incomparable huge size of the "iceberg", it undoubtedly gives people a strong sensory stimulation!
Long Yao and Long Li's hearts were beating fast and they hugged Long Eying's waist with great excitement.
"Go, go, go! Boss, faster, faster!" the little mirage dragon shouted.
"it is good!"
Liang Qu laughed loudly, and in the mental connection, he asked Yuantou to work harder to open the way. The water flow under the iceberg was surging, and many porpoises that did not have time to dodge directly cooperated with each other and squeezed to the side, making the road smooth!
Pool of water.
The hot weather made the dock workers lose their energy. They sat in the shade to take a breath, threw two copper coins on the table, took a sip of the extremely bitter heat-reducing herbal tea, and continued to work.
Tick.
Tick.
Turbid sweat dripped onto the stone slabs, forming lines. A dock worker was carrying sandbags on his shoulders, his body shiny with oil. He was concentrating on looking at the road when a sudden scream from the port made him stop.
It was a woman's voice.
It was far away, not so loud that it could reach the dock. I didn't know which house's pleasure boat the sound came from. Maybe it was because the sound was coming from some young master's perverted way of playing?
It's none of my business.
Keep moving forward.
The moment the rattan shoes landed on the ground, screams rose one after another like waves.
The bag carrier couldn't help but be curious and looked up slightly. On the canal in the distance, all the boats had moved away, leaving only a... mountain?
The worker's pupils shrank sharply.
The water on the canal roared and rushed, holding up the "iceberg" and rushing into the imperial capital in a mighty manner!
Rumble!
There was a loud thunder and a strong wind.
The sandbags fell to the ground and the dock workers all fell down in shock.
Liang Qu suddenly clenched his fist again, the water bag collapsed, and the "iceberg" smashed into the pool of water. The endless waves rushed into the distance, driving the pleasure boats and cruise ships in the pool.
"Phew, it's finally here!"
