Chapter 1058: The dish snatched away
Chapter 1058: A dish snatched away (asking for monthly ticket, two in one)
Snapped!
The little river otter threw out a floating bridge connected by driftwood and ropes, which just stuck to the shore. When people stepped on it, a little water foam squeezed out from the gap. It was half wet and half dry, and did not flood the soles of shoes.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, that's enough, let's go back!"
The rope is shaking.
It was the first time for the young man to go on a long journey. He was nervous as he was unfamiliar with the place and began to miss his hometown. However, he did not want his peers to see that he was acting like a child who was inseparable from his parents and be looked down upon. So he gritted his teeth, turned his head away, waved his hands, stepped onto the floating bridge and boarded the boat, acting as if he did not care at all.
Such "heartless" behavior caused the three mothers to complain.
"This child..."
The mothers complained, while the fathers moved towards Liang Qu to be polite and "belittle" their own boys in order to build a closer rapport.
If the Huaiyin Martial Arts Academy had not been established in Pingyang Prefecture, it would have been impossible for me, a kid like him, to have any contact with masters like Liang Qu and Yang Dongxiong.
The kid doesn't understand, but his father should understand.
"Parents are so caring, don't worry." Liang Qu smiled softly, greeted on the bow, and said simply, "This trip is to receive the reward. I am going with my fellow brothers. Several of them are teachers in the martial arts academy. We are familiar with each other and will not neglect them. They can also find time to tutor them in their studies and will definitely supervise them diligently."
Liang Qu pulled his fellow apprentices onto the boat early.
The highlight of life when one is conferred a title of nobility should naturally be witnessed by everyone.
The third father was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.
Only the three young men froze in their tracks, terrified.
Dry!
New Year’s Day!
I have to practice martial arts after coming out! ?
……
"Shhhhhh!"
[Rattan Soldiers] transformed into rattan chairs, basking in the winter afternoon sun on the Liangqu deck, with the sound of breaking wind in front of them and afterimages interweaving.
The blue-gray sail is inflated, and the blue wave pattern unique to the river is semi-reflective, like flowing water.
After a supply trip through Nanzhili, in exchange for four great merits of wood and one great merit of catalyzer, the Fortune Treasure Ship was nearly sixty meters long from head to tail, with a deck wide enough for horses to run, providing plenty of space for activities.
At this moment.
The otter spread out its paws and carried its back, its face calm, its body twisting and turning, weaving in and out of the gaps, strolling leisurely in the garden.
Every time a fist attacks, it always manages to pass by it just right, almost hitting the target by just one step. But this one step makes it impossible for others to get close no matter how hard they try!
"hateful!"
Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu held their breath and attacked in turns, but they were helpless facing the famous "ship boss", which was like chasing a shadow.
They were from the same school, at about the same level, with similar martial arts, and they had a tacit understanding of cooperation, but no matter what they did they could not get close to Otter and could only occasionally catch two strands of its falling short hair.
too strong!
The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.
I knew early on that there was a ferocious river otter under the command of Liang Qu, the Earl of Xingyi. The otter was eccentric, generous and magnanimous, skilled in martial arts and had some knowledge of cooking, making him comparable to a butler of a wealthy family.
Seeing it today, I still can’t help but be amazed that there are such powerful water rats in the world!
gap.
too big!
A feeling of frustration suddenly set in.
half an hour.
The three men were exhausted, panting heavily, their movements becoming increasingly distorted, and they could barely stop the car, so they crashed into each other.
Tata shook his head in disappointment.
Seeing that the three men were too weak to fight anymore, it suddenly jumped up, spread its wings, kicked with its feet, combined its strength into one, stepped on Xiong Yiheng's big head, leaped back and somersaulted, and landed steadily in the mast's bucket, standing alone against the wind.
Wow.
The river breeze blows thousands of miles.
The river otter has its paws on its back, and the long yellowish hair on its head is blown up and flying around, unperturbed by praise or criticism!
That is,
The bearing of a master!
This morning I saw three people standing still, full of vigor and energy, and I thought they would be three opponents worth a try, but I never thought...
Thinking of this.
Taotaokai couldn't help feeling depressed and sighed slightly.
In the past, on the top of the Hanging Temple and in the Fulong Temple, Scarface was defeated by the claws of the enemy.
In the entire Jianghuai Lake, there is no opponent worthy of its attack!
The height is not cold.
Otters are lonely.
Boring~
puff!
The otter's neck tightened, its feet flew into the air, and it scratched around with its claws.
A huge hand in white mist grabbed it out of the bucket, slapped it down like a ball, and then disappeared suddenly.
Falling rapidly, Taotao took a very dangerous step. He adjusted his position in mid-air, landed and looked back, only to catch a glimpse of a white figure that quickly entered the room.
snort!
Cowardly rat, attack from the dark!
"Hey hey hey."
The little mirage dragon thought that no one could see it, so he covered his mouth with his dragon claws and hid in the room, secretly making fun of others.
boom!
There was a pain in the forehead and the dragon horn exploded into white mist.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The little mirage dragon covered his head and turned back angrily. When he saw the pretty face, his expression changed. He immediately bent over, wrapped his tail around her forearm, swung his tail, and rubbed his head against her palm to please her. "It turns out to be... the beautiful, generous, and kind-hearted Madam Liang!"
Madam Liang, special attack title for Long E Ying!
Little Mirage Dragon knows this well!
As expected, Long Eying, who had been tapping her head with her fingers, put down her hands and crossed her arms: "Who are you bullying again?"
"Sister Eying, no more!" The little mirage dragon hesitated again, while not forgetting to mist out a new dragon horn.
The hedgehog pouted.
How could I compete with such a little dragon?
What a shame.
It hurried forward, pulled at the hem of her clothes with its little hands, and offered her fresh wild persimmons: "Sister Eying, there must be some misunderstanding here. Although the Third Prince is a little naughty, he is not a bad person by nature. He came back in a hurry, maybe he was playing with the other animals!"
The little mirage dragon's teeth are itching.
Long Eying stared at the small persimmon and held her forehead helplessly.
For some reason, all the water beasts in Liangqu like to please her. They keep coming to her side, belittling each other, and setting traps for each other. It's okay now, as their intentions are obvious, but the beasts are fickle. I'm really worried that after the beasts become more experienced and capable, they won't be able to tell right from wrong.
"The captain is so awesome!" Xu Zishuai exclaimed.
The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.
A water rat, who is proficient in standing, body movements and boxing. His foundation is so solid that most of the teachers in the martial arts academy cannot match him. His talent is so extraordinary that it is amazing!
It definitely took hard work and effort!
Liang Qu raised his eyes and raised his chin slightly: "Of course, I don't have any bad soldiers under my command!"
"I told you you're fat, and you're still out of breath." Xu Zishuai put his arm around Liang Qu's neck, "Junior brother, let the captain be the instructor! There are too many students in the martial arts academy, and we're short of manpower!"
"It can't even talk, how can you teach it? Everyone is different, blindly following others is not the right way." Liang Qu didn't care, "But if you let it be a sparring partner and beat others, it might be interested."
"Training partner?" Xu Zishuai seemed to be thinking about something.
"Come on, come on, freshly baked dumplings! Tea and cakes! Anyone want some?" Xu walked onto the deck, and behind her, little river otters lined up in a long queue, one on top of another.
"Master's Wife!" Xu Zishuai stood up with a smile and reached out to pinch the top of the mountain. "Master's Wife, how did you know I was hungry?"
"That's unruly!" Xu slapped it away with her hand. "Go get the chopsticks. Who told you to do that?"
"Are you hungry?" Liang Qu sat up and waved to the three people who were resting on the deck. "It's New Year's Day, so don't be reserved or polite."
"That's right." Xu Zishuai was quick and managed to get around Xu's attack. He grabbed a steamed dumpling and stuffed it into his mouth. He wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth and mumbled, "It's your first time to come out for the New Year. You won't be reunited with your parents and relatives. We, the teachers, are half of your elders. We're a family, let's eat together! Quick, take a steamed dumpling each!"
Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu looked at each other, climbed up from the deck and sat down stiffly.
Liang Qu needs no introduction, admiration is the farthest distance between people.
Yang Dongxiong, Xu Zishuai, Hu Qi, Xiang Changsong... They were either deans or teachers. They often scolded me on weekdays. It was like going out with the teacher. I felt uncomfortable.
No one called them, so the three of them were too embarrassed to go out on the boat and stayed in the small room all day.
Liang Qu asked them to come out and stand still, and let Taotao take the first move, so that they could get familiar with the moves and eliminate their sense of restraint.
You are all meritorious officials that His Majesty wants to meet.
Liang Qu brought them out, so naturally he would not ignore them, that would be a bad feeling.
"Thank you, sir."
"Take the chopsticks and eat it while it's hot!"
so good.
Jin Xiaoyu, who came in third in the trial, held the steamer in her hands, feeling the hot steam blowing in her face, and felt inexplicably moved.
His father has five concubines and twelve children. They are always noisy and they only see each other twice a month. The stepmothers quarrel every few days. Last month, one of them committed adultery with his eldest brother.
The concubine was put in a sack by his father, dragged to the backyard alley and beaten to death. The first few blows made her scream so painful that goose bumps appeared on her skin. The fourth blow seemed to hit her head and she stopped making any sound. In the end, the brown sack turned black and no one dared to open it to see. To this day, he can still smell the blood when he walks in the yard.
The eldest brother had both legs broken and was confined to his house.
It is better to say that it is a place to eat and sleep than to say that it is a home.
Look at Liang Qu again. They are not a family, but they are better than a family. Although they are not related by blood, they are better than their family and are very happy.
"so good."
He couldn't help it.
This New Year's Day is much more enjoyable than at home.
Liang Qu was even happier and opened his mouth to accept Eying's feeding.
All fame, wealth and honor are just for a happy life~
……
A few days passed in a flash.
The treasure ship broke into the imperial capital.
People are hurrying back and forth on the street, some are driven home by the cold wind to warm themselves by the fire, with an expression of uncontrollable leisure on their faces.
There are too many happy events this year.
The court won a great victory in the north. I heard that Your Majesty will not only grant great benefits to the whole country, but also grant amnesty to the whole country.
It sounds like it has nothing to do with ordinary people, and no one in the family has been to jail, but beef and mutton have started to become cheaper as a result. With the same amount of money spent on Chinese New Year as before, this year you can have an extra meat dish on the table.
Ok.
It was taken from the table of the people in Beiting.
The taste is more delicious.
Originally, after returning from the battle of Shuofangtai, there was still some time before the New Year.
The Holy Emperor originally wanted to let Liang Qu have a good rest and recuperate, but who would have thought that elite soldiers are elite soldiers, and powerful generals are powerful generals. In just half a month, Liang Qu could continue to deduct a considerable political achievement from this short period of time, so time became tight.
Tomorrow is New Year's Day. Liang Qu hired five extra maids to quickly clean up the room and prepare food. He then set out to the Imperial Observatory to look for Lan Jicai.
Most government offices are closed for holidays at this time, with only a few people on duty.
The Imperial Observatory was different. The task was arduous and there was no concept of festivals in the Imperial Observatory. Lan Jicai lived here all the time. When Liang Quxun came, he was holding the girl's hand to read her palm.
Lan Jicai rubbed it for a long time, as if there was dust on the girl's palm, which he wanted to wipe off carefully. Then he pinched it inch by inch, making the girl blush and her earlobes bleed. In the end, she spoke with certainty.
"He's your nemesis! Break up! Break up as soon as possible!"
"Eh? Are you my unlucky one?" The girl covered her mouth and widened her eyes.
"Master Lan!"
"Hey, it's you, kid! Why are you in the imperial capital? Oh, yes, it would be strange if you didn't come." Lan Jicai thought of the battle at Shuofangtai, waved his hand and asked the little girl to wait aside, and then he would make plans later. "What does Earl Xingyi want to see me about?"
Liang Qu did not answer, but glanced at him, saying, "Mr. Lan, I would rather destroy ten temples than break up a marriage."
"Huh! Do you think I'm taking advantage?"
Liang Qu did not reply.
Lan Jicai was furious: "Get lost! I have seen the boy chasing this girl, he is not a good boy! I am giving you good advice!"
Liang Qu shrugged. He just gave a reminder and did not continue to explore the purpose of this trip.
"Balster's magic order? You want a whole piece? The price is not cheap." Lan Jicai was surprised, "You have seen the magic order before, a piece of Scarlet Thunder Strike costs 100 great merits, and that's just to dig out a magic power.
Although what you want is one piece, it is actually three magic powers combined into one, so it should be counted as three! Balstai's magic power is not an ordinary magic power, and he originally planned to make six or nine parts."
Balstey appeared early and died even earlier. His bloody magical powers were not shown much, but his role was real.
A must-have item for home travel, murder and robbery.
If you carry one on your body, as long as you protect your head, you can exchange injuries with others as much as you want and take the enemy by surprise.
The magical order is not as good as the Martial Saint Jade Token, which can be used as a family heirloom.
"Don't worry, Mr. Lan. I have plenty of money."
Liang Qu was not afraid of the high price. For clearing out the Bai family in the Daxue Mountain, he would give them rewards in name only. However, the rewards had not been given yet, so he planned to mix them in with this time's rewards, which would amount to at least dozens of great merits.
Needless to say, the casualties of the three beasts themselves directly affected the victory, needless to say.
Finally, the Martial Academy soloed the Ghost Mother Cult trial. This was mostly a political achievement, but the credit would not be small either.
There were so many things, Liang Qu didn't take any of them, they were piled up for various reasons.
"That's right. Just killing the three beasts is enough for you."
"The thing probably hasn't been made yet?" Liang Qu reminded.
Lan Jicai shook his head: "Balster has been dead for less than three months, and we haven't started yet. We are still in the process of preparation. The preparations are very complicated. But if you do it this way, I have to ask for instructions, but it shouldn't be difficult."
Liang Qu did not explicitly want to "buy", he was planning to "borrow" it first and see the effect.
Once the Divine Power Order is made, it cannot be divided anymore. It is a one-time deal. Therefore, if Liang Qu does not buy it after the merger, the court will suffer a loss.
"After that, please have some drinks, Mr. Lan."
"Hey, sure!"
After ordering the items first, Liang Qu began to care about the national affairs: "Mr. Lan, you are from the Imperial Observatory, you are well-informed. What is the situation of the war in southern Xinjiang? When are they going to stop?"
"I guess it will be April or May?" Lan Jicai stroked his beard, "Beiting is a wolf, his eyes glow green, he will chase you and won't let go, but if he says he will bite you, he will bite you, the flesh he tears off is bloody and you can see the size.
In southern Xinjiang, there are poisonous snakes. They are insidious and use their hooked fangs to poison you. When they bite you, you won't feel the pain immediately, but there will be two small holes that bleed. After a while, you will start to feel dizzy and swollen.
Neither the snake nor the wolf will give up easily. We have to wait until we take over all the cattle and sheep in Beiting before we can be at peace."
Liang Qu nodded.
"What?" Lan Jicai winked. "Lord Xingyi is going to take action. After the battle in the north, he will march south to settle the cause and effect as soon as possible? As for others, I don't believe they have the ability to do so. As for you, well, it's hard to say. It's hard to predict."
Liang Qu laughed: "Thank you for your good words, sir. However, I don't have time to go now. I plan to meet the mountain god white snake in the future."
Lan Jicai raised his thumbs up, and then raised two more, making three.
"When a man is born, he should be granted a title of nobility. You are more than that. You should be granted a title of nobility, a title of duke, and a title of king. Remember to send me an invitation later. I will rush over to Nanzhili as well."
"Hey, this is good!"
……
Crackling.
The smell of sulfur wafted through the entire street, and Spring Festival paper was flying on the ground. Liang Qu and Xu Zishuai fired the closing cannon, brushed off the snow, and happily went to the table to eat.
"Cheers, cheers! Raise your glasses!"
"This year is incredible. After the New Year, Junior Brother will be made a marquis! Hahaha!"
"Brother, don't be so deadly. What if it's not true? This is called planting a flag!"
"If not for this, I'll run around the capital three times standing upside down!"
"Master! Where is the speech this year?"
Everyone looked sideways.
There was steam rising from the copper steamer, and the whole round table was covered in cottony white mist.
Yang Dongxiong smiled and thought for a moment: "May everything go well after the New Year!"
"it is good!"
"May everything go well after the New Year!"
……
Snow is falling on the Jishuitan.
Red scraps of paper were floating in the air.
Xiong Yiheng, Du Hanwen and Jin Xiaoyu did not sleep all night. The closer the day got, the more nervous they became. Today, the nervousness pushed all the excitement and excitement into a corner, and their breathing became heavy.
The Holy Emperor of Dashun!
After seeing it today, I can brag about it for my whole life, no, for three lifetimes. Even when my grandchildren are old, I can still brag about it!
"what!"
Liang Qu yawned, kissed Eying, lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed.
Busy for so many days.
It's time to go to court.
