Chapter 1052: Conquer It, Conquer It Again (Two in One, Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket)

"Hahaha, so impressive, so impressive!"

The snow on Shuofangtai was three feet thick. The weather was freezing cold. The dry and cold wind was like a machete, chopping bones and splitting meat with every blow. Pingyangfu was covered with a thin layer of snow, which fell on the deck and froze into grains of snow salt. The cold wave mixed with moisture penetrated into the trouser legs, like a sharp knife or dagger, cutting the meat and skin piece by piece.

Such weather still can't stop the enthusiasm of some people.

Wow~
The silver fishing line swayed and pulled the air. Xu Yuelong sat steadily on the railing. He sighed, swung the rod, exhaled mist, and threw the album through the window to everyone.

“Hey, let me see!”

Xiang Fangsu was quick and took the notebook first.

Ran Zhongshi, Ran Ying, Ke Wenbin and others stuck their heads out, forming a fan shape, their eyes rolling around.

Xiang Fangsu recited aloud from top to bottom.

"Since the present emperor ascended the throne, the whole country of Beiting has been invaded, and from Heyuan to Hexi, there has been no peace for a year.

At the end of the year, a certain official named He Ningyuan was appointed as the marshal to attack them. Liang Qu defeated three beasts in ten days and returned with a great victory. "

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped and looked dazed.

If the battle in December was recorded in the history books, it would probably be a simple sentence like this, or perhaps even shorter. Millions of soldiers and countless blood were shed, but only two people's names were recorded in history. If we don't look for them in their personal biographies, we will definitely not know what Liang Qu looked like, or how fierce the eight beasts were, which led to later generations not paying attention to it.

But for the people in Pingyang Prefecture who had been colleagues with Liang Qu for seven or eight years and had small gatherings every month when they were free, it was no less than a violent storm!
Ordinary southerners may not know this as it is too far away. They are the children of nobles in the imperial capital and the descendants of military generals. They have been influenced by this since childhood. What are their dreams?
Kill the eight beasts!

Conquer Beiting!
Return with great victory!

Fulfill men's dreams! Capture women's hearts!
Such a "dream master", Liang Qu! Their colleagues! Killed three in ten days!

Beiting will not make any other selections to fill the vacancies of the eight beasts, so they can only dream of five at night.

call!
Ran Zhongshi took a deep breath.

Eight or nine years ago, Liang Qu attended a small gathering of his master Yang Dongxiong and Xu Yuelong for the first time because of the uncle-nephew relationship between them. The youthful scene is still vivid in my mind: his butt could only touch half of the seat, and he had to be called when he ate meat.

From a fisherman to the Earl of Xingyi, from a sampan to a treasure ship, three rooms and two courtyards...

Liang Qu has always lived in the small town of Yixing and has never moved.

At this moment, all the scenes overlapped in an instant.

How can it not make people feel dazed?
"Keep going! Turn the page! Turn the page quickly! Let's see how he was killed?" Ke Wenbin patted his shoulder and urged.

Below the outline, there are small print explanations that add details of the war.

Xiang Fangsu turned to the part about the Earl of Xingyi.

"In the middle of last winter, Liang Qu, the Earl of Xingyi, was ordered to go to the Blue Lake Snow Mountain to assist the chieftain of the Jianghuai Frog Tribe, Frog Gong, and the chief of the Huaidong River and Lake Division to report to the emperor, and also to move 3,000 tents of the Yuchan Tribe eastward to the Jianghuai River."

"So Ah Shui is doing this?"

Ke Wenbin suddenly realized that he knew that Liang Qu was busy traveling west and had caused a lot of commotion in Hantai Prefecture, but he was not quite sure what it was for.

"On the last day of the first lunar month of the following year, Bai's son Xingwen took advantage of his favor and committed adultery. He watched the Long family, who was granted the title of county lady by the Xingyi Earl, and took the Lotus Sect's esoteric master hostage to force her to take it away. Liang Qu was furious and beheaded him. His grandfather Bai Chenfeng wanted to seek justice and beheaded him again. Bai Chenhonglang chased him and tried to dissuade him, and beheaded him again."

"..."

"It feels weird."

Everyone already knew the plot, but it was still a bit difficult to watch it again.

This is how it is recorded, and it won’t be false on the surface.

But there must be some secrets and some leading factors.

The last sentence, "There is no excusable law, so he should be demoted," resulted in Liang Qu becoming the envoy of Hengshui, which was just a formality.

Liang Qu was still the General of Huaishui at that time. There was no problem in killing Bai Xingwen, but he was totally unqualified to kill Bai Chenfeng, the former Lord of the Mansion. The result of the handling was completely painless and purely to appease the Bai family.

Further down.

"In the same year, the eagle Balstai from the northern border abandoned Shuofangtai and sneaked along the snow-capped mountains and blue lakes, intending to attack and kill. Xingyi Bo killed him, and then sent a signal for thousands of miles, and arrived in Beijing in three days. He received the emperor's order and went to Heyuan Prefecture to meet with the general He Ningyuan to attack Shuofangtai. In the battle, Xingyi Bo faced the boar of the eight beasts and defeated it. Then he faced the fox of the eight beasts and defeated it again. Three of the eight beasts of Beiting, one was killed and two were injured. It only took about ten days."

Xiang Fangsu pinched the paper.

There were black words on the white paper, but there was no scent of ink. Instead, what wafted to the face was the smell of blood. Everyone seemed to hear the charge horn, the shouts of the soldiers, and thousands of flags fluttering in the wind.

Although the description is still very concise, I can't help but feel excited when I see "克之" one after another.

"Is there any more? Is there any more? You'd better look faster." Ke Wenbin urged again.

"Okay, okay, don't rush me."

Xiang Fangsu turned the page, read two lines, and turned back again. After confirming that he had not turned too many pages, he spread his hands and said, "That's all. The following are some of the court's gains and benefits."

Bai Yinbin took the album and exclaimed: "Strange, three hundred million taels of silver, half of which is cattle and sheep, shouldn't we have free beef and mutton?"

Xiang Fangsu shook his head: "It looks like a lot, but there won't be much to share. It's freezing cold now, and I don't know how many people will die on the road. Maybe the northern provinces will get some benefits."

Ke Wenbin leaned on the Luohan bed: "The fight will be over in mid-December, and the talk will be over at the end of the month. When will Ah Shui come back? It's the end of January now, and the Chinese New Year will come in ten days. Ah Shui is the third of the Eight Beasts. He is now a second-class earl. With this contribution, he should be able to be made a marquis. We have to slaughter him!"

"I probably won't be able to come back this year." Xu Yuelong entered the house carrying a wooden barrel. There was only clear water in the barrel, without any fishy smell.

"Boss, what do you mean?"

"Other things are easy to say. The preparations won't be too slow. But Beiting is using cattle and sheep to pay off debts. The cattle and sheep come from all over the country and then travel all the way south. They can't run fast. The weather is cold and they can freeze to death on the road. We also have to be careful of Beiting changing their mind. It will take at least two months to reach Dashun. I estimate that around the time of the New Year's Day or the Lantern Festival, His Majesty will reward them and at least grant amnesty to the whole country."

Everyone nodded.

The process is reasonable.

They took over a big city and used it as a bargaining chip to force Beiting to pay compensation. Such a big event happened to happen at the end of the year, so everyone would want to hold it together with the New Year, which would be double the joy.

"By the way, have you all seen the news about Long Pinghe?" Xu Yuelong reminded, "Don't delay this matter. After this meal, everyone go out to work and clean up before the New Year."

"I know. They are the Ghost Mother Cult. If I had known they would not behave themselves, I would have been on guard against them from the beginning. I would definitely not have let any of them escape!" Bai Yinbin stretched lazily.

"It's strange, but the locations given by Long Pinghe are two more than the ones we found. Ah Shui has been hanging out outside all year and has hardly been to Pingyang. Where did he get the information?" Ke Wenbin scratched his head, very confused.

The Dashun region fought between the north and the south.

Just like an earthquake, snakes, insects, rats and ants will all take the opportunity to come out and bite people.

The Huaidong River Port will naturally not let down its guard.

After several years of experience in fighting, they have accumulated a lot of tricks.

Even without Liang Qu, Hebo Office had discovered some clues about the Ghost Mother Cult and grasped a number of mountain ghost breeding sites. However, in comparison, their grasp was not as comprehensive as Liang Qu's!
What's the point?
Liang Qu is in Hebo, and everyone can accept it, but you are in Liujinhai in Heyuan Prefecture!
"I don't think it was necessarily Ah Shui who found it. Wasn't Long always in Pingyang?" Xiang Fangsu rubbed his chin. "Maybe Ah Shui himself didn't know about it. After Long found out, he wanted to give the credit to Ah Shui, so he said it was Ah Shui who found it."

"I guess this guy really deserves to die!" Bai Yinbin smashed the table angrily, and the mutton on the table shook, "It turns out that Ah Shui might as well have discovered it!"

Colleagues were outraged.

At the gate of the Huaidong River Government Office, Liang Qu stepped out of the threshold, looked back, and could not help scratching his head.

"Strange, it's not even the New Year holiday yet, where are you? Are you out partying again? You're neglecting your duties..."

After the agreement came into effect, the two sides agreed not to invade each other and Beiting would pay the compensation as soon as possible. As one of the main combat forces, Liang Qu stayed in the Western Army for half a month to prevent a sneak attack by Beiting, and then went to the imperial capital without stopping.

Xu Yuelong guessed correctly about what happened next.

The Holy Emperor has decided to arrange the rewards for all the soldiers at the grand court meeting after the New Year this year. At that time, envoys from various countries will come to maximize the value of the benefits!

Liang Qu is not in a hurry for one or two months.

Before the New Year, he left the imperial capital and first consolidated the vortex waterways in various places. He went to the Haiyuan Palace to meet the Sea Master to exchange feelings at the end of the year, ate two blood lion treasure fish, and directly obtained 12,000 essences.

[Water Essence: 14231]

Twice a year, there is always something good.

It used to be very difficult to save ten thousand dollars.

After visiting some relatives, I returned to Pingyang.

Eying went out to deal with the Ghost Mother Cult, and there was not many people at home, so he came to Hebo to check first, but there was no one there.

"Forget it." Liang Qu was too lazy to look for it, so he went to the city.

"Master! Mother!"

"Master and Madam, Master Jiu has returned from a victorious battle! It's time to set off firecrackers!"

The Earl of Xingyi returned home in glory, and firecrackers were set off everywhere.

The sound of gongs and drums was deafening in Yixing Town.

Similarly, the water beasts under the command of Earl Xingyi also returned to the south from the north.

The little mirage dragon was the happiest. It couldn't wait to get out of the vortex palace and breathe some fresh air without the oppression of the fat catfish. It then went to scare the hedgehog at home and regain its status as the boss.

"Can't Move", Roundhead, and Fist each returned to their jobs.

There is only one fish.

The Jianghuai Lake.

In the frog tribe's territory, cheers shook the sky, and ripples appeared on the water surface.

All the frogs gathered together and waved flags to cheer.

"Chapter 26! Oh my god! Incredible!"

"Twenty-seven! Twenty-eight! Quack! It's worthy of being the most greedy frog in my frog family! It hasn't stopped yet! It can still eat!"

"It's so scary! It's so scary!"

"When I saw him as a monster, I felt that this kid had unlimited potential! He was born with a strange appearance and had no limbs! He was gifted and could eat and drink! Only a frog like this can become a great monster!" An old frog said in a condescending tone.

The frogs cheered.

Only Dapang was worried.

The fat catfish opened its mouth wide and stuffed the meat into its mouth with both hands. Its long whiskers were not idle either, grabbing the whisker curls with its hands, and then pursed its lips to sip the lotus leaf nectar, eating it with great pleasure.

One big fish after another was eaten into its belly.

There was a group of frogs nearby, jumping up and down and counting with their eyes wide open.

This is the top-quality meat fish raised by the frog tribe!
The whole body is plump and extremely delicious, with only a big bone spur in the middle. If you suck it, all the meat will fall off like soup. It is usually only taken out when holding banquets to entertain guests.

The most important thing is that it is big!
A head as big as a frog without legs!
An ordinary frog monster would be full after eating no more than two frogs in one meal, and a big monster could only eat ten. The record for the biggest eater was set by the frog leader Big Fat a year ago, who ate thirty-six frogs in one go!

However, in just half an hour, the fat catfish took three bites of each fish and had eaten thirty of them, and its speed did not slow down at all!
“It’s a bottomless pit!”

"Thirty-two! Thirty-three! Is the Footless Frog going to break the Commander-in-Chief's record of thirty-six?"

Erpang kicked his legs wide, extremely excited.

Dapang clenched his flippers tightly, feeling extremely regretful.

To celebrate its promotion to a great demon and becoming a master of the frog clan.

It and the deputy commander Erpang specially organized a grand banquet for the legless frog.

I never thought that the footless frog would repay kindness with enmity!

Taking this opportunity, he actually launched a sprint for the record of the big-eating frog! He wanted to take the legendary title of the most gluttonous frog besides the king!

"Thirty-three! Thirty-four! Thirty-five!"

at last.

Under Big Fatty's intense and close attention, the fat catfish was "on the verge of falling", but it still stuffed the last piece of fish meat into its mouth out of inertia!
"Thirty-six!"

"It's even! It's even! One more! One more!"

"Footless frog! Footless frog! Footless frog!"

A group of frogs croaked and cheered, shouting out names in unison.

However, at this moment, the fat catfish seemed to have eaten something that was up to its throat, its belly bulged high, and it was shaking like a water ball, on the verge of reaching its limit!

"It's fine as long as it's flat. Stop eating it now! It's not good for your health!" Big Fat put his flippers together, shouted in his heart, and stared at the fat catfish with his two frog eyes.

However, the fat catfish noticed the gaze, and its original "crumbling" look suddenly disappeared, with the corners of its mouth curled up in an evil smile.

"not good!"

Dapang's heart sank.

The fat catfish suddenly grabbed a big meaty fish and stuffed it into its mouth, eating it all, meat and bones included!

Roar!
The cheers were deafening.

"Thirty-seven! Thirty-seven!"

It never ends!

The fat catfish stretched out both hands and both whiskers, grabbed and rolled, and launched another charge.

"Thirty-eight! Frog heavens!"

Big Fatty lowered his frog head, as if he had lost his parents.

In front of the legless frog, it is just a rookie.

Until the 45th time, the fat catfish finally stopped, burped rhythmically, shook its body, stood up, and everyone held hands together amid the cheers of the frogs.

Dance the frog's dance and sing the frog's song!
The next day.

After taking a nap to help digest the food and making sure that his stomach was no longer hungry, the fat catfish was ready for the banquet. He shook his head and tail and headed for the Dragon Palace.

Hula la.

The water was roaring, and the small fish were rolled around in the water, feeling dizzy.

A long shadow was cast.

The power of the terrifying fish frightened the hard-working water beasts in the canyon. Above the canyon was a ferocious beast that they had never seen before!

When Ran Youxinyu took a closer look, his pupils shrank sharply.

"It's a big black fish!"

"What? Big black fish? How could it be a big black fish!"

"Such power! Such temperament! Such a handsome appearance! It must be that Black Fish has successfully mastered the art of retreat!"

"Hurry up and tell the Dragon King! My fish clan's genius, the only poetic fish, is coming out today!"

Midnight.

Everything is quiet and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

Long Eying was sitting on a tree branch, observing the Ghost Mother followers, when suddenly a pair of big hands came around her waist and hugged her.

"Don't move. Measure your waist."
