Chapter 126: Dragon Crossing the River, Big Whirlpool (asking for monthly ticket)
Duke Liang interfered and it was obvious that the relationship between the two sides was not good.
Xu Yuelong and Yang Dongxiong are uncle and nephew. As Yang Dongxiong's direct disciple, Liang Qu is naturally labeled as a descendant of Duke Wei, a label that cannot be erased no matter what.
But Liang Qu didn't care.
There are gains and losses. At least in Hebo Station, he can get on the stage.
Many people never even have the opportunity to perform on stage in their entire lives. No one cares whether they sing well or badly.
The float sank slightly, Xu Yuelong gently shook the rod, and then nothing happened.
The fish didn't bite.
Xu Yuelong did not feel embarrassed and continued, "Do you think it's just a simple feud between the president and the vice president?"
"more than?"
"More than that." Xu Yuelong shook his head, "Do you know how your master's second son died?"
"do not know."
"Back when the Western Army marched north to the desert, my father and Duke Liang's son Wei Jianpeng discovered a barbarian detachment of about 8,000 men. They used 5,000 black-armored guards each to annihilate the enemy in a pincer movement.
Ten thousand against eight thousand, and it was a surprise attack, it should have been a sure thing, but three days later, when my father really caught up with the barbarian army, Wei Jianpeng's troops were nowhere to be seen.
My father was not the kind of man who was greedy for merit and acted rashly. Even if it was a surprise attack, fighting eight thousand with five thousand was too risky. When he was about to retreat, he was ambushed by the barbarians.
Fortunately, my father commanded the battle properly, and he dragged the ambush into a stalemate, and finally won a tragic victory. Less than half of the soldiers survived, and Uncle Yang's second son died at that time. "
Liang Qu remained silent.
"Afterwards, my father asked Wei Jianpeng why he didn't provide support in time, but he said he got lost in the desert.
My father didn't believe it. Wei Jianpeng was a veteran and there had never been such a trivial reason for delaying a battle. But there was no evidence, so in the end Wei Jianpeng was simply dismissed from his post.
Why the rescue was not timely back then has become a confusing matter now, and no one knows whether it is true or false. "
The float sank slightly for the second time. Xu Yuelong raised his wrist and shook the rod again.
Ripples appeared on the water.
Still no hook.
The awkward atmosphere broke the silent atmosphere.
Liang Qu suddenly felt that Xu Yuelong's fishing skills seemed very average.
Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case. Xu Yuelong is at least a warrior at the Wolf Smoke level, and it's possible that he's even a tiger hunter.
Although a martial artist of this level does not have the same underwater perception ability as himself, he can sense the scent of fish within a certain range. Seven or eight meters underwater, they can see clearly as if they were seeing fire.
Xu Yuelong specially explained: "Fishing is about catching fish, but the actual process is about cultivating one's character. It's meaningless to use those tricks. I always block my perception, so ups and downs are normal."
"Lord Xu is of high level! Liang admires him."
Xu Yuelong was happy, so he chatted a little more: "In fact, this time Pingyang Town became Pingyang County, and it is even likely to become Pingyang Prefecture. This is unique since the founding of the Dashun Kingdom, and many people are eyeing this piece of fat meat.
There are two Duke grandfathers in Hebo, me and Wei Zixiu, and they have brought many trusted men under their command, and each of them has a background.
The Demon Hunting Division is no simple matter either, and there are many powerful and ruthless people there. Even the county magistrate who will arrive in two days, who do you think he is?"
How can I know?
Liang Qu shook his head. "It was Jian Zhongyi from the Jian family in Qingzhou. He was the runner-up in the imperial examination at the age of 21. He is an excellent poet and has an amazing talent for martial arts. He swallowed a dragon python pill when he was young and has incredible strength. At the age of 34, he had already reached the tiger hunting realm. He practiced the Jian family's Tianyuan Hanshou Gong, which is an integrated attack and defense skill. It is hard to find an opponent."
Liang Qu was surprised: "How can you be so powerful as to be a county magistrate?"
Many top scorers become county magistrates, and it is not uncommon for the second place scorer to become a county magistrate.
But since they are a big family and they are tiger hunters, it seems unlikely!
It’s unjustifiable.
"The real purpose is not to drink." Xu Yuelong shook his head. "If Pingyang County really becomes Pingyang Prefecture, who will be the prefect? Where will the original county magistrate go? Logically speaking, the transformation of a county into a prefecture cannot be achieved without the promotion of the county magistrate.
This is an opportunity. Many people want it but cannot get it. As long as Jian Zhongyi has some talent and develops steadily, with his qualifications, background and strength, he will definitely be the lord of the mansion in the future. He can directly jump from a seventh-rank county magistrate to a third-rank official without having to work hard to gain qualifications. "
So many dragons crossing the river!
Liang Qu was shocked.
Originally, his master was the most powerful tyrant in Pingyang Town, and even in the surrounding counties. But now, everything has changed and he seems to be in a weak position.
In such a small county, there are no less than six tiger hunters!
“But like you said, in the general direction, we have won the fight against the Ghost Mother Cult, but that may not be the case when it comes to specific matters.
The Jianghuai and Huaihe Rivers are like a huge whirlpool that spins wildly. It's impossible to predict who will rise above it and who will sink below it.
I heard that your fate is like a dragon crossing a river? You were born with a water element, is that true? "
"Yes, Master Yang tested it for me."
Xu Yuelong nodded: "So there are many opportunities, just wait quietly. With such a great destiny, I am very optimistic about your development. However, whether you are a dragon or a worm depends on you."
Liang Qu bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Xu, for your advice."
What Xu Yuelong said was all valuable information, and he pointed out the background of key figures in just a few sentences.
This is truly treating him as one of your own, a kind of heart-to-heart win-over. If it were any other He Bo, would you expect Ti Ling to remind you?
Then Liang Qu forced himself to sit with Xu Yuelong for more than half an hour.
This is not right.
Liang Qu glanced at the sky and felt a little numb on his butt.
For more than an hour, not a single fish came up. Is this how high the realm can be?
After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Liang Qu communicated with the fat catfish in the mental link, and sat quietly aside with an unchanged expression.
After a moment, the float began to shake violently.
Xu Yuelong was cheered up and quickly lifted the fishing rod. A gorgeous big white fish jumped out of the water, and water droplets splashed in the sunlight.
Lips up!
The upturned mouth is half the length of a man and weighs at least twelve or thirteen pounds!
Xu Yuelong was overjoyed. He reeled in the rod and caught the fish. He held the whole bigmouth mullet in his arms and weighed it lightly: "11 pounds and 6 ounces!"
"Congratulations, Lord Xu!" Liang Qu extended his congratulations at the right time.
"Haha, Liang Qu, you are really a lucky star. In the past, I could hardly catch any fish even after fishing for two or three days. I didn't expect that when I was with you, I caught such a big black carp in less than an hour! It must be your good fortune that played a role!"
Maybe you won’t be able to catch any fish in two or three days?
Still so passionate?
Liang Qu raised his eyebrows slightly. He seemed to know why Xu Yuelong had to come to the Hebo Station. Could it be that he dealt with the river every day for the convenience of fishing?
"It's so satisfying, so satisfying!" Xu Yuelong put the black carp into the fish basket and put away his fishing rod. "Let's stop here for today. The fleet is probably already docked. Let's go back quickly. You can take me to visit Uncle Yang."
