Chapter 1241: Repeating Old Tricks, Water Beast Legion! (5k, two-in-one)

"Open your mouth wider! Wider!"

"Very good, soldier, stay still. Southeast corner, A-Fei, launch the charge!"

The yellow leather bag was tied around his neck, fluttering brightly, like a bright yellow scarf.

The old toad took a horse stance, sank his Qi into his dantian, pushed out his belly, wrapped his arms around two long whiskers, and pulled upward with force. He pulled up A-Fei's head, full of fighting spirit, simply like a handsome knight pulling the reins and standing up.

The long tail stirred, and the fish fins slapped the waves.

The vortex spread, and the water surface within a radius of ten miles dropped by three zhang, turning into a slope. More than ten ships slid down, and the cross masts collided.

The hundred-zhang body like a mountain collided with the river water, making a thunderous roar.

One large ship after another was easily broken, and a large amount of military grain fell from the ship's belly, soaked and swollen, and then swallowed into the bottomless fish belly.

This is the stunt that the fat fish is famous for.

Death Vortex!

When attacking, first move the pectoral fins on both sides, swim around the prey, create a powerful vortex, let the prey lose direction and become dizzy.

Finally, open the abyss mouth, suck the prey into the mouth like a vacuum cleaner, tear and swallow!

The fat fish once relied on this stunt to roam the Jianghuai, invincible, and stop children from crying at night.

If it weren't for the God's appointment, it might still be eating small fish and shrimp in the reeds by the Jianghuai River. Of course, it's not to say that eating small fish and shrimp is bad, but following the God is broader and more open!

"Hoo, hoo, hoo!"

The fat fish flicked its fins.

Crying and screaming were incessant.

One soldier after another lost their footing and fell into the cold, bone-chilling river water. Under the huge temperature difference, they subconsciously contracted their muscles and choked on water, intensifying the invisible panic.

Several generals gripped the railings tightly, fixed their bodies, and saw the size of the big fish attacking the fleet, almost collectively losing their voices.

Big!

Huge!

"What kind of monster is this! How can there be such a big fish! What about the agreement with the demon race?"

"What is that on its head? A tumor?"

"What a big toad!"

"Fart, the toad is not that long, it's clearly a pufferfish!"

"Two idiots, it's an unusually fat fish. Is the demon-repelling incense useless?"

The fat fish was furious.

The Northern Court people were really frozen in their brains by the wind and snow, unable to distinguish fat from strong, and drooling when eating!

Bump, bump, bump!

Swallow, swallow, swallow!

"It's over, this fat fish is angry! You must have provoked it!"

"It's too late to use demon-repelling incense, quick, fire the ship crossbow! Fire the ship crossbow! Load the explosive spear!"

*Click, click, click. *

The hinges turned.

The zhang-long ship crossbow was as thick as a thigh, with dragon-shaped True Gang, aimed at the big fish, and shot out.

The sharp ship crossbow pierced through layers of air waves, like a dragon roaring, brushing past the big fish's body.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded.

The water surged, turned into water foam, and a small rain fell.

The fat fish's butt was itchy, and it wanted to turn its head to see.

The old toad immediately stopped it: "Don't look back, listen to this Elder, continue to charge!"

Firing the ship crossbow was useless!

Even an upper-level demon beast couldn't be unscathed after this.

The general was completely panicked, flustered, if a demon beast robbed the military grain, he would lose his head when he went back!

"Great demon? Could it be a great demon?"

"Help, I don't want to die!"

"Quick, get the Perfected Form token!"

The ship crossbow was useless, and the soldiers wailed.

The leading general arranged three jade tokens again, watched the fat fish charging, suppressed the fear and the violently beating heart in his chest, aimed at the direction, and squeezed hard.

*Click. *

A silver radiance slashed out, and the general's eyes were fanatical.

"Evil beast! Die! Provoking our Northern Court is kicking an iron plate!"

This is a supernatural token condensed by a Heaven-Man Perfected Form, with infinite power, enough to seriously injure a second-level Perfected Form! It is also the trump card of the entire fleet. The beast is ultimately a beast, daring to come to sneak attack the ship without any defense.

"Awoo."

The silver ring entered the big fish's mouth.

The fat fish swallowed it, burped, and puffed out a wisp of blue smoke. It raised its head and stared at the general with white feathers on his helmet on the deck with a pair of terrifying big eyes.

The supernatural token was useless!

The general was terrified, retreated a few steps, and then saw clearly.

It wasn't a tumor on the big fish's head, but a toad.

He looked at the remaining two tokens, sweating profusely in the cold weather, and was about to squeeze them.

The sound of breaking through the air, the long whiskers flicked, swinging out afterimages, like iron chains and sharp whips. In an instant, the forearm and the token were all pulled away.

The general gasped, the pain struck, blood sprayed from his wrist. At this moment, the shadow covered the deck, filling the deck. He pinched his broken hand, looked up at the big fish, and squeezed out a smile.

"Hey, hehe, the big fish has a lot of—"

*Bang! *

The fish tail shattered the big ship, the general flew into the air and fell freely, screaming in horror. Before falling into the cold E River, the fat fish flicked its tail again, pulling it away. The general with feathers exploded into a cloud of blood mist, expanding the air wave, sticking to the river surface, and the afterimage hit dozens of water drifts, bones broken, and rotted into paste.

Don't eat stupid things and dirty things.

Swallow, swallow, swallow.

Bags of scattered military grain fell into the belly.

The old toad was waving his arms, suddenly his butt was itchy, feeling like something had happened, or maybe not. He scratched it, didn't think about it, and continued to command.

"Charge forward! Wait, drift!"

A-Fei braked sharply, the left fish fin pressed against the water wave, and it went sideways.

The huge body suddenly moved horizontally, pushing a ten-zhang giant wave, drowning the struggling soldiers.

The deputy general spun underwater, desperately looking for balance, swimming upward with all his strength, broke through the water surface in a sprint, hit the elastic body, stared blankly at the majestic big fish staying face-to-face, liver and gallbladder split, just wanted to hold his breath, quietly dive.

The old toad grabbed the long whiskers, like a sailor under a gun barrel, slid down, and slapped the deputy general's head crooked.

"Tumor tumor, this National Teacher will beat you into a tumor, go! Continue eating!"

The big mouth was invincible, swallowed a vortex, rushed horizontally, and the Northern Court soldiers cried for their father and mother.

After a while.

The fat fish wiped its mouth with its long whiskers, wanting to continue eating, but the old toad pulled the long whiskers.

"Legless frog, let's retreat!"

*Splash. *

Without hesitation, the long tail flicked, the fat fish turned and dived, disappearing without a trace.

The sky whistled, the figures were locked, and the Grandmasters responsible for responding to the fleet's grain on both banks, sensing the battle's Qi, stepped on the water and galloped, still a step late in the evening.

Looking around.

Full of broken wood, fragmented, sporadic soldiers holding masts rising and falling, leaving only the river wind whistling.

"What, the grain transport ship was hijacked by a demon beast?"

In the big tent, the Shuofang Terrace general slapped the table in anger. "We have always had agreements with the White Dragon King and the E River demon beasts to coexist peacefully. Small monsters are fine, but if it's a demon beast, they have wisdom. How dare they? What kind of demon beast is it? Our Northern Court will definitely investigate to the end!"

The soldiers who were ragged and didn't have time to tidy up immediately talked all at once, waving their hands and feet.

"I saw it clearly, it was a huge toad!"

"No, no, it was a whale!"

"I think it looks like a pufferfish without thorns."

"None of them, none of them, it's Kun! It's the legendary Kun!"

General: "?"

A deputy general on the side reminded: "Could it be that many demon beasts conspired?"

The general cast his gaze.

"No, just one!" The soldier was adamant.

"Neither, two, there is a small thing on the big fish's head, it looks like a tumor at first glance, actually it's a toad."

"Trash!" The general was furious, slapped out, shattered the helmet, and stunned the leading soldier, then looked at the remaining few. "Can't even tell who attacked the grain transport ship, what's the use of you? Why come back alive? Huh?"

"General, don't be anxious." The deputy general relieved again. "The other party won't appear to attack the grain transport ship for no reason, and they don't look at that little military grain. To offend our Northern Court for some food, there is a preliminary conclusion, then report this matter to the Great General!"

Half an hour later.

The general knelt on one knee: "The great demon will not appear to attack for no reason, and they don't look at that little military grain. To offend our Northern Court for some food, it happens that Prince Huai arrived, it must be his hand!"

Curved knives made of wood, silver, and ox horn hung all over the walls, each carved with patterns, inlaid with gems, or painted, dazzling.

The square-faced mastiff lay on the sheepskin rug, with thick hair, and pure black eyes staring at the general.

Shuofang Terrace Great General Batu Mengke's expression was serious: "Sure enough, it's Prince Huai—now that he has arrived in Heyuan Prefecture, he gave us a slap in the face, but how did he do it? Arriving and mastering our movements?"

"General, I'm afraid it's the same trick as the Southern Frontier!"

Liang Qu had been to the Northern Court before, and he was simply a star of disaster.

Wherever he went, he was unlucky.

To guard against this hand, the Khan specially invited the Master of the Lotus Sect of the Great Snow Mountain, the disciple of the Venerable, Karma Chilie. This Master is famous for divination, hoping to curb this elusive behavior.

The Great Snow Mountain's rituals, ceremonies, and divination are unique in the ages, and they are first-class in the world. Relying on this hand, they were guests of honor in the Great Qian in the past, and they made many rituals for the Great Qian. Especially the Ghost Mother Sect that caused a lot of trouble for the Great Shun, I heard that the ritual could even bring the dead back to life, which was also the handiwork of the Great Snow Mountain.

But I didn't expect it.

Just trying to divine, he vomited blood, was seriously injured and withered, and muttered the name of his master!

Still in a coma.

"It is rumored that the Southern Frontier was the betrayal of Bone Sha, could it be—"

"Don't mess yourself up, don't talk nonsense about things without evidence!"

Batu Mengke immediately stopped him, and he thought for a while.

"Before the Master wakes up, grain transport will be suspended first, tell the Khan the news, see if the Great Snow Mountain has any other way, we will drag it as long as we can, the Great Shun wants to splash dirty water on us, be careful not to freeze into ice and stab yourself!"

"Cang Wu Marquis, this name, good meaning, good meaning!"

Cotton cloth sealed the window to block the cold wind. In the lively hut, the mutton boiled in the soup, Liang Qu clapped his hands and laughed.

E Qirui was excited, standing half-up in front of Yang Xu, his butt hanging on the stool: "I am a Southern Frontier person, I can speak Great Shun language, but I don't understand the meaning of too many poems, I just feel that this title of the Holy Emperor is catchy and has extraordinary charm.

Prince Huai said it was good, I dare to ask Prince Huai, what is the meaning?"

"Er—what is the meaning? Madam?"

Liang Qu dropped his palm, and his palm gently rubbed Long Eying's thigh under the table.

—

Long Eying put down her chopsticks: "Cang is taken from the meaning of the southern sky and mountains, such as 'Cangwu', 'Cang of the South'. Wu, is the weapon plated with tin on the surface of the metal, mostly for ceremonial use, here it refers to the sharpness of military equipment,

the essence of general talent.

The two characters 'Cang' are ancient and heavy, containing both the vastness of the region and the metaphor of your bravery with the word 'refined iron'."

Liang Qu smiled and nodded, patted her thigh lightly: "Madam is well-read, this is the meaning, this is the meaning!"

"Husband doesn't want to show off."

"So that's it, so that's it! Thank you, Princess, for solving the puzzle!" E Qirui breathed a sigh of relief, bowed deeply to Prince Huai and Princess Huai, then stepped away from his seat, facing south, "Thank you, Holy Emperor, for the title! The high expectations placed on the minister! Grateful and weeping!"

Yang Xu: "—"

Clearly a very harmonious and beautiful scene.

Why does it look so strange?

When enfeoffed as a Marquis, did the Ministry of Rites not read the meaning of the title to you? Also, even if it wasn't read, after you got the title, you didn't check the books for a long time? You had to come thousands of miles to Heyuan Prefecture and ask Prince Huai to know?

Little junior brother, did you pinch your junior sister's thigh under the table? With the tablecloth covering it, the Cang Marquis didn't see it on the opposite side, but I saw it clearly from the side!

Did you actually not know!

Liang Qu noticed his senior brother's suspicious gaze and raised his index finger to interrupt his train of thought: "Senior brother, are you going to eat Qi?"

Yang Xu was stunned and nodded: "Yes, I opened the mysterious light in the middle of last year, only one step away from eating Qi."

When Yang Dongxiong accepted Liang Qu as a disciple, Yang Xu was already in the middle stage of Hunting Tiger. After more than ten years of cultivation, he had long become the peak of Hunting Tiger, the third step of Perfected Form, opening mysterious light, refining hundred classics, eating Qi. The first two were big difficulties, but Liang Qu gave "Body Consciousness Method", refining hundred classics was not difficult, and even earlier than opening mysterious light, saving a lot of effort to temper martial arts.

Refining hundred classics, refining without retreating.

E Qirui didn't know the key: "Worthy of being Prince Huai's senior brother! Two major difficulties, can be achieved in one go."

Yang Xu was embarrassed by what was said, laughed, and said that he was still waiting for long Qi.

"That's just right, the money for senior brother's promotion, no, Qi, the Northern Court will pay!"

"Ah?"

Liang Qu scooped the mutton in the pot and stood up: "I've eaten enough, save some stomach, go to the banquet of Great General He in the evening, let's go, senior brother, madam, Cang Marquis, let's go see a good thing!"

In the inner river of Heyuan Prefecture, ice collided, and the fat fish opened its mouth to pour grain, like a waterfall, endless.

The martial arts hall disciples and Dragon People who followed Liang Qu moved the wet grain bag by bag.

Liang Qu came to the river, waved his hand, and all the grain was dried to avoid dampness and mold.

"This, this is—"

Yang Xu was very surprised, looking at the busy disciples, he stepped forward to unpack the bag and grabbed a handful of fresh rice.

"Rice from the Northern Court? Or germ rice? Junior brother, where did you get this?"

"Just snatched it."

"Snatched? Where did you snatch it?"

Liang Qu also grabbed a handful, slipped from his palm, and found that most of them were germ rice, and the remaining small half was refined rice.

"Strange, Frog Gong can snatch germ rice."

Although Liang Qu fishes and doesn't farm, he pays taxes and hands over grain, so he knows a lot about rice. After the rice is harvested, the husk is removed, which is brown rice. After removing part of the seed coat, it is germ rice. Finally, after removing all the seed coat and germ, it is refined rice. Refined rice tastes the best, but its nutritional value is not as good as germ rice.

Why don't people eat germ rice, and why doesn't the Imperial Court collect germ rice for taxes?

Because this thing is difficult to preserve, the germ only has a shelf life of one or two months, and it is difficult to remove the husk while leaving the germ alone. If it is refined rice without the germ, it is enough to preserve for one or two years.

Now it is October, in other words, this batch is absolutely fresh rice harvested in the Northern Court this year, not old rice, it cannot be supplied to officers, officers don't lack this bit of nutrition, and care more about taste, it must be supplied to elite soldiers, sent directly from the rear to the front line.

"The Northern Court elites have a blessing, this blessing is enjoyed by our Great Shun." Liang Qu patted the rice in his palm.

Cang Wu Marquis was thoughtful and surrendered again: "Worthy of Prince Huai! Thousands of miles away, cutting off people's grain!"

Yang Xu had a faint realization: "This is what you snatched while we were just eating?"

"Yes."

"Hiss—"

Everyone was eating hotpot and shabu-shabu mutton together, and junior brother robbed the logistics of Shuofang Terrace?

He Ningyuan, who came to learn the news, was also drawing cold air with Yang Xu.

"This, this, this, did Prince Huai get all this?"

He Ningyuan looked around, at least a thousand stones, he grabbed a handful, each grain was full.

"Now, where is it? In the future, when the Northern Court transports grain, either send enough Martial Saints to escort, or don't take the waterway! General He, when will Longxiang Wu Sheng and others come?"

"Agreed to noon tomorrow."

"Good, then tomorrow afternoon!" Liang Qu said loudly, "I will ask for justice from the Northern Court. This battle, it doesn't matter whether to fight or not, as long as General He keeps dragging it down, stir the water, stir until Shuofang Terrace can't stand it itself!"

Is this the spirit of the world's first young Sky Dragon?

He Ningyuan was shocked. He couldn't understand why Liang Qu had such confidence, could bypass the rear of Shuofang Terrace, and cut off the grain, but Liang Qu is a Prince, and all the way here, they are all miracles, so he happily agreed and immediately started to arrange the grain.

Soldiers were busy.

The cold wind was biting.

Liang Qu looked at the high city thousands of miles away.

It is impossible to deceive the Northern Court with the same method.

In front of the entire big force, his strength is still not enough, but Liang Qu is most different from others because he has many means! Many water beasts!

Frontal containment, old toad in the rear as commander-in-chief, water beast legion stealing food.

This is what he should do.

War is always a process, not a purpose!

Everything is for profit! The Southern Frontier's long-Qi can be stolen? Can't the Northern Court's rice be stolen?

"A-Fei!"

The long whiskers folded ninety degrees, the fat fish dived into the river, and disappeared without a trace after a few flicks of its tail.

At the same time.

The Jianghuai river dolphin army dived into the waterway one after another, and went to the Northern Court in a mighty way.

"Cannot move", Fist, A-Wei far away in the Southern Frontier—

"Wait, about to break through, don't leave me!"

Li Xianghan pinched the centipede's joint limbs and dragged it on the floor.

The mouse looked anxious, running together on the table, approaching the edge, the yellow mouse rushed out first, hugged A-Wei's joint limbs, the gray mouse followed, hugged the yellow mouse's tail, one after another jumped and relayed, head to tail, turned into a rope ladder, hung on the joint limbs, the last white mouse grabbed the tabletop with one hand, pulled the mouse tail with one hand, pulled and closed with both arms, convex small muscles, baring teeth and grinning, looking up to the sky and roaring.

*Slap! *

A-Wei looked back, slapped it hard, and flew out the window without looking back. ===== CHAPTER 1242 =====
