Chapter 1257

"The Northern Court really intends, no, is willing to compensate for a position fruit?"

"That's it!" General He nodded affirmatively, "At present, the delegations of both sides have reached a preliminary agreement. The Northern Court side indeed proposed to give a position fruit. We also have the intention to exchange, but the remaining details have not been fully finalized.

The Northern Court side, in addition to requiring the return of the Shuofang Terrace City, includes repaying the half-body of the King of the Wonan River, as well as the missing sick tiger Suhebatur, and at the same time withdrawing the slanderous rumors. Within thirty years, both sides will withdraw Martial Saints five thousand li, trade with each other, and jointly—"

"Wait, I have to think, think."

Sitting on the stool, Liang Qu pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and pondered.

Shuofang Terrace City!

Whether for the Northern Court or the Great Shun, this northern fortress-level big city is the most critical priority.

Out of the Yellow Shahe, across the Imperial Capital, it is not always colder the further north you go.

The severity of the climate basically reaches a peak at the location of Heyuan and Shuofang. After crossing the Shuofang Terrace City and the Ehe, it is the "Jiangnan on the Border" of the Northern Court, the core area. The climate of the Northern Court Imperial Capital Golden King Court is almost close to Jiangnan.

In other words.

The centers of the Great Shun and the Northern Court are both prosperous. The narrow middle zone between the north and south is a narrow, peak cold zone, where only summer can be cultivated once a year.

For ordinary people, it is quite barren, but for martial artists, it is not, because there is a treasure land second only to the Jianghuai Great Lake, the Flowing Gold Sea. Outside the Flowing Gold Sea, there are snow mountains stretching, countless treasures.

Shuofang Terrace City is a precious contact entrance.

In addition, Shuofang Terrace is the only important strategic stronghold that can play a role in the Northern Court before the Ehe. Built on the mountain, the Blood Wall, and the geographical advantages of the wonders are combined. One hundred Perfected Form Grandmasters can station out the effect of one hundred and twenty. Without Shuofang Terrace, it is basically equivalent to losing most of the area between Shuofang Terrace and the Ehe.

One body, two sides.

For the Great Shun, digesting Shuofang Terrace can not only monopolize the Flowing Gold Sea and the mountain ranges, but the Northern Court will directly become a pangolin without scales, a hedgehog without needles. If any breakthrough progress is made in the future, it can directly attack its rich hinterland! Even if the Northern Court becomes strong and counterattacks in the future, it will also have greater strategic depth.

Not to mention that the additional requirements proposed by the Northern Court side are very many.

But what is a position fruit.

Heaven and Earth authority.

A small position fruit of the Drought Demon, cutting off the dream of the Flood Dragon walking on water to save itself.

A large position fruit is essential for the path to becoming an immortal.

Obtaining a large position fruit, several supporting small position fruits, is even more looking forward to turning into a rainbow, turning into rosy clouds.

Comparing the two—

Seems like he can look at the quality of the position fruit first?

"Speaking of which, this position fruit was originally our Great Shun's." He Ningyuan added.

"Hmm?" Liang Qu opened his eyes, "What do you mean? Ours?"

"The Prince of Huai is not yet thirty, too young. Many things happened a hundred years ago, it is reasonable not to know.

The position fruit that the Northern Court is willing to take out is called 'Yi', the 'Yi' of devastation." He Ningyuan dipped his fingers in tea and wrote an "Yi" character on the table, "This position fruit was originally controlled by the Huang Long King of the Yellow Shahe."

Liang Qu sat up straight: "The Huang Long King's position fruit? Then how did it run into the Northern Court's hands?"

"It's a long story."

"All ears."

He Ningyuan continued to dip his index finger in tea and drew three horizontal lines: "There are three true dragons in the world, two Dragon Kings, one Dragon Lord. The Huai Lord is inclusive, quite like an elder; the White King is proud like a plum blossom in the cold, with a cold personality; the Yellow King is rolling and rolling, impulsive and irritable.

In the past, when our Great Shun and Great Qian were at war, they fought all the way from south to north, and a great battle broke out on the Yellow Shahe. The Yellow King was furious, joined the battlefield, offended both sides, and finally ended up falling.

The dragon corpse was snatched by Great Shun and Great Qian, refined into Heaven Pills, distributed to the Martial Saints who contributed, and at the same time, the middle position fruit held by the Yellow King was divided into two."

Liang Qu frowned: "Can position fruits be divided?"

"I don't know much about this. I think it should not be 'cutting', but a middle position fruit, divided into two complete small parts, becoming two small position fruits.

One small position fruit is called 'Yi', obtained by Great Qian; one small position fruit is called 'Feng', obtained by us.

When the Huang Long King's corpse became the nourishment for the Heaven Dragons, and both sides absorbed each other, it should have been the day of deciding the winner. But the battle of the Yellow Shahe was evenly matched, and more and more Martial Saints saw that Great Qian's general trend was gone, and came to join our Great Shun.

The Taizu was always generous, letting bygones be bygones, and those who were willing to surrender and contribute did not change their fiefs. Great Qian could no longer support it, and they jumped over the wall—"

Liang Qu's expression moved: "Great Qian used the position fruit to exchange for the Northern Court's support?"

"Exactly." He Ningyuan sighed long, "The 'Yi' fruit fell into the Northern Court's hands from that time until today. It's just that Great Qian's behavior was nothing more than a sick person seeking medical advice, a flash in the pan. Without the position fruit, they were just grasshoppers after autumn. This move was even opposed by their own people, completely losing the chance to struggle.

On the day of the real decisive battle, the Northern Court did not break its promise, sending five Heaven Dragons, but the actual output was the Northern Court crowned King. How could they really help with their lives? Not to mention that they had internal chaos not long ago, and their remaining strength was limited.

Great Qian was dissatisfied with the Northern Court's attitude, caused contradictions, and finally turned around, intending to raid Southern Zhili. After fighting for a few years, by mistake, they all ran into the Jianghuai Great Lake, were surrounded and suppressed by Xu Duke, and the Jianghuai Water Battle broke out.

Since then, it has slowly developed for decades, evolving into the Water-Bathing Sect, which is the Ghost Mother Sect."

"So that's it—Yellow Shahe Dragon King's position fruit—"

The story developed to this stage, already reaching the field Liang Qu was familiar with.

As the Western Expedition General, He Ningyuan knew the past of the Northern Court, but did not know the situation in Jianghuai.

Liang Qu was just the opposite.

After a little pondering, he could dig out more details.

For example, Great Qian running back to Southern Zhili was probably not "by mistake". Perhaps at that time, they had already contacted the Flood Dragon King, intending to borrow the Northern Court, and if that failed, borrow the Demon King, occupy a place, and become a surprise force in Jianghuai.

As for whether there was the instruction of the Whale Emperor behind it, it is unknown. The final result was that with the help of Lord Wang, before Liang Qu discovered and eradicated it, they successfully lingered on their last breath and had a dream of turning the tables.

Martial Saints have star disks for prevention, suppression has Lord Wang's secret report, and two self-slashing Martial Saints as a guarantee. The Demon Queen and the Little Prince became spiritual leaders, and the ritual resurrected the dead Perfected Form. Theoretically, the remnants of Great Qian were stuck in a bug, a stubborn disease that could not be eradicated, and could only be ground away with time.

"In this way, this small position fruit is of extraordinary significance."

"Yeah, first, Great Qian lost it, Great Shun took it back, showing more orthodox legitimacy. Second, the fall of the Huang Long King will also reach the second sixty years. If a version of the Yellow King is born again, it is definitely not a good thing for Great Shun.

On the contrary, a controllable Dragon King is not only the product of the Yellow Shahe itself, but also has great benefits for both sides.

The Prince of Huai has been to the Southern Border and knows that the Southern Border has been using fake dragons to create true dragons in the Lucang River for decades—"

No need to say too clearly.

Great Shun's true dragon plan!

All the information is now connected into a line.

The change of heaven and earth from Great Qian to Great Shun a hundred years ago still has an impact on the present, and the development of things is unexpected.

Liang Qu secretly sighed that the Northern Court Khan was decisive, completely grasping Great Shun's needs.

The Southern Border's fake dragon plan is indeed worth learning from. The benefits brought by a controllable true dragon to the development of the territory are obvious.

Especially since Great Shun's difficulty in doing it is much smaller than the Southern Border. The Yellow Shahe is a completely inland river, and they have the corresponding position fruit in their hands, without having to dig hard.

Otherwise, an ordinary small position fruit, wanting Shuofang Terrace, wanting Wu Sheng body, sick tiger, thirty years of no Martial Saints, trade with each other, etc., is absolutely impossible. It just happens that—

"Is there any result now?"

"The Northern Court proposed to exchange the position fruit for the city during the New Year, overturning all negotiations. This is a major matter. It may take another two months to negotiate. In the middle, His Majesty may ask for your opinion, Prince of Huai."

"Me?"

"Why should the Prince of Huai be humble? Among the Heaven Dragons in the world, when it comes to the Water Lord, you have the most understanding, and the person who is best at dealing with Demon Kings is none other than you, Prince of Huai?

In your early years, you worked in the Heposuo. The General Secretary of the Heposuo, where the Governor of the Two Rivers is stationed, is in the Yellow Shahe. If the Imperial Court intends to use Shuofang Terrace to exchange and actively nurture the Yellow Shahe Dragon King, it will inevitably refer to your opinion."

He Ningyuan's prediction was not wrong at all.

Late at night.

Heyuan Prefecture received a secret report from the Imperial Capital's Purple Electric Ship, not a simple paper exchange.

Enter the capital immediately!

"Summoned in the middle of the night, why is it so hurried?"

Long Eying climbed out of bed, tidied Liang Qu's lapels, pulled up his belt, and hung his waist badge.

"The matter is relatively important, I must go there in person. It won't be long, write a plan, hold two meetings, and I can come back in three or four days. In the middle, Little Stone might come to Heyuan."

"Rest assured to go out, I will arrange it."

"Hard work, my love. Once the matter is accomplished, let's look at the scenery of the Yellow Shahe together. The beach of the Yellow Shahe is very interesting, neither dry nor wet, stepping on it is like a water bed shaking, often there are playful people jumping, falling in and can't climb out, suffocating inside. A little drier, the silt will crack and curl into mud boards, stepping on it click, click."

"How can you say it as if you have been there? And what kind of description is often suffocating people? Always saying the Yellow Shahe has half a bowl of sand in a bowl of water, such turbid water, what if I choke?"

"I'll pass qi to you mouth-to-mouth?"

"Poor!"

Chishan snorted outside the window.

"Gone."

Liang Qu kissed Eying, then went to the next room to say goodbye to Yang Dongxiong and the Xu family.

"Leaving now?"

"Rest assured, Mom, back and forth, a few days' work, mainly because it won't work without a face-to-face talk."

"It's a good thing that the Holy Emperor wants to see you. It's hard for a crowned King to walk around, and the relationship is easy to alienate. When I joined the army, I often went to report the situation to the old General, and now I write letters from time to time."

"Isn't that me asking you to write?"

Told everyone around, settled the affairs.

"Third Prince!"

"Coming! Hu, hu, hu~"

Under the eyes of everyone, Liang Qu tidied his arm guards, stepped into the courtyard by himself, white mist filled the air, white jade steps generated under his feet, automatically lifted, and sent him into the room.

Jade ropes grew horizontally.

Chishan galloped in the air, turning into red clouds.

The Bai Yu Palace had three rooms and six openings, breaking through the flowing clouds!

" "

The "River Stone" moved, the Anyang King who had been prepared in the back moved forward, and halfway through, Liang Qu crossed with the Anyang King in the air, the two looked at each other and nodded to each other.

Northern Court Dome.

The officials inside observed the star track mirror, immediately knew that Liang Qu had set off, and also tested the attitude of Great Shun, whipped the horse, and told the negotiation delegation to try to strive for more benefits.

"Bang!"

With a flick of a finger, the window exploded into white smoke.

Blowing the cold wind of the sky, helping to clear the mind, Liang Qu asked the martial hall disciples to grind ink, brought relevant books, and wrote pages while traveling.

Entering the capital this time, it is nothing more than the Holy Emperor needing to ask about the gains and losses of interests. What he has to do is to state the advantages and disadvantages for the Holy Emperor to choose, whether to exchange for the position fruit, and where the bottom line is.

"Just right, have to go to the Yellow Shahe to find the Dragon Species Great Demon, heard there is a Demon King in the Yellow Shahe—"

Imperial Capital.

The glazed tiles were covered in silver.

The ministers going to the early morning court were covered in cloaks, resisting the wind and frost, waiting quietly, gathering into small circles, exchanging the Northern Court battle before the New Year, waiting for the main gate to open.

Heaven light floated purple.

Xu Wenzhu looked up, suddenly saw red clouds floating in the sky, smiled lightly, flicked his sleeves and left the team.

"General Xu, where are you going."

"Eat morning tea, a new restaurant opened south of Jishuitan, heard from old Ran that the taste is good, go, let's go taste it together?"

"The door is about to open, you go to eat morning tea?"

"Can't open the door today, at least have to postpone it for a while, anyway not now."

"What?"

"Look, didn't see just now—"

Before the words fell, the attendant walked out of the small door to apologize.

"All lords, today's Great Morning Court—"

"Look, go, go, go, eat morning tea, eat morning tea, which shop was it—"

Long wind whistled.

The Bai Yu Palace dissipated like smoke, flowing on the ground like milk. Liang Qu was in king's clothes, riding a horse and falling, letting the martial hall disciples choose a post station to live in, one person and one horse running on the street.

There was a faint smell of sulfur on the street, and there was the sound of firecrackers before dawn.

Taking a deep breath.

Imperial Palace.

"See His Majesty!"

"Sit." In the Qin Zheng Hall, the Holy Emperor did not be polite, pointed to one side, "Liang Qing, long time no see, has General He ever told you about the Northern Court exchanging position fruits?"

"Back to Your Majesty, he has." Liang Qu bowed, sat down on the long chair, took out the pages from his arms, "I have already known the general situation from General He, and because of this, I wrote a volume on the road, hoping to help Your Majesty."

The attendant took the pages, and the tray was presented.

The Holy Emperor did not look, but pressed the table with his back hand.

"Since so, then I will say it directly, Liang Qing, have you ever heard that the personality of a natural Dragon King is related to the river?"

"Heard of it, the Huai River Dragon Lord is like an elder, all because the Huai River is vast and mighty. The Ehe White Dragon is cold, all because the Ehe is an ice river. The Yellow Shahe Huang Long is irritable, all because the Yellow Shahe is unruly and difficult to tame."

"Then Liang Qing, do you have the confidence to comb the Yellow Shahe as a whole within three years? Make the above-ground river part completely sink into the ground?"

Straight to the point.

Liang Qu pondered.

The entire Yellow Shahe, perhaps a million li.

The above-ground river part also has more than twenty thousand li, more than twenty thousand li to walk, twenty times water travel a thousand li, swoosh, can be changed into completely dredging it once—

"There are difficulties, but it is not impossible!"

"Good!" The Holy Emperor patted the table, overjoyed, "I want this sentence from you! If you can do it, this position fruit will be exchanged."

"Sharing worries for Your Majesty, it is my wish." Liang Qu bowed again, "It's just—Your Majesty wants to dredge the entire Yellow Shahe? Change the personality of the Yellow Sand Dragon King?"

The Holy Emperor nodded: "It is one of them. Our Great Shun started by cooperating with the Jianghuai Dragon Lord. Liang Qing may have noticed that if a river has a true spirit Dragon King, the categories are abundant and treasure fish are numerous. Conversely, it is decreasing day by day, dead and silent. However, with the Huang Long King's personality, it is really difficult to cooperate."

Liang Qu nodded.

In the past, he bought a different species of golden-eyed beast at the Tianbo Auction and stimulated his golden eyes, but similar different species became rarer and rarer in the days to come, and it was difficult to meet them.

Prosperity of the King!

This is not just Liang Qu's ability alone, but all Dragon Kings have it.

It's just that the effect and name are different.

"Your Majesty, dredging the Yellow Shahe may solve the urgent need for a while, and change the personality of the Dragon King who is about to come out, but in the long run, this is treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and there is a risk of change."

The Holy Emperor pondered.

"Indeed—"

Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot: "Rectifying the Yellow Shahe, dredging was mentioned, it is an urgent method. However, besides dredging, how to solve it once and for all, I have other suggestions, which are on the pages."

"Oh?"

The Holy Emperor opened the pages, read ten lines at a glance, browsed to a line of big characters, surprised: "Fire attribute divine ability order?"

"Exactly, 'cutting down trees, there is no time prohibition, water and drought disasters may not be caused by this', predecessors have long had clear insights, wanting to use the policy of fixing sand and clearing the river to cure the two disasters of water and drought.

However, people's livelihood is difficult, firewood is the first of 'fuel, rice, oil, and salt', and the people's cooking is tied to it, which is really difficult to ban. Fire stones are expensive, and the people cannot get them. Therefore, although there are good plans, they are finally trapped by nothing to replace.

However, today is different from the past. In the temple, we are fortunate to meet the Holy One, and there is a divine ability order! If we can count by the century, one county for one divine ability order, widely implement good methods to replace firewood, stop the people from cutting down trees, and supplement it with planting trees to fix the soil, then not only the sand river can be cleared!"

"You—" The Holy Emperor was surprised, looking up and down, "Why did you suddenly use ancient language?"

"Uh—recited on the road?"
