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

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

On the Northern Court side, in addition to requiring the return of Shuofang Terrace City, including compensating for the half-section body of the King of the Oonan River, as well as the missing Sick Tiger Suhebatur, at the same time withdrawing slanderous rumors, both sides will withdraw Martial Saints five thousand miles within thirty years, trade with each other, and jointly————"

"Wait, I have to think, think."

Sat on the stool with one butt, Liang Qu pinched the bridge of his nose, closed his eyes and pondered.

Shuofang Terrace City!

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

Out of the Yellow Sand River, 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 locations of Heyuan and Shuofang. After crossing Shuofang Terrace City and the E River, it is the "Jiangnan outside the fortress" of the Northern Court, the core area, and the climate of the Northern Court Imperial Capital Golden King Court is almost close to Jiangnan.

In other words.

The centers of Da Shun and the Northern Court are both prosperous, and the narrow middle zone connecting the north and south is a long, cold zone that reaches its peak, 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 E River. Built against the mountain, the Great Wall of Blood and Qi, and the geographical advantage of the spectacle are combined. One hundred Perfected Form grandmasters can station an effect of one hundred and twenty. Without Shuofang Terrace, it is basically equivalent to losing most of the area between Shuofang Terrace and the E River.

One body, two sides.

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

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

But what is a position fruit.

Authority of Heaven and Earth.

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

A big position fruit is necessary for the path to becoming an immortal.

Obtaining a big position fruit, several matching small position fruits, is looking forward to turning into a rainbow, turning into rosy clouds.

Comparing the two————

It seems that I can look at the quality of the position fruit first?

"Speaking of which, this position fruit was originally ours in Da Shun." He Ningyuan added.

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

"The Huai Prince is not thirty years old, too young, many things happened a hundred years ago, I don't know, it is reasonable."

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

Liang Qu sat up straight: "The Yellow Dragon King's position fruit? Then how did it get into the hands of the Northern Court?"

"It's a long story."

"I'm 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 like a long river, quite like an elder; the White King is like a cold plum in the snow, with a cold personality; the Yellow King is like a rolling muddy river, impulsive and irritable.

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

The dragon corpse was snatched by Da Shun and Da Gan respectively, refined into Heavenly 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. The old man thinks it shouldn't be 'cutting', but a middle position fruit, divided into two complete small parts, becoming two small position fruits.

A small position fruit named 'Yi', let Da Gan obtain; a small position fruit named 'Feng', let us obtain.

After the Yellow Dragon King's corpse became the nourishment for the Heavenly Dragons, and both sides absorbed each other, it should have been a day to decide the winner, but in the Battle of the Yellow Sand River, they were evenly matched, and more and more Martial Saints saw that Da Gan's general trend was gone, and came to surrender to our Da Shun.

The Taizu was always generous, let bygones be bygones, and those who were willing to surrender and contribute, did not change their fiefs. Da Gan could no longer support it, and its dog jumped over the wall————"

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

"Exactly." He Ningyuan sighed long, "'Yi' fruit has been in the hands of the Northern Court since then, until today, it's just that Da Gan's behavior, nothing more than a sick person seeking medical advice, a flash in the pan. Without the position fruit, it's just an ant in autumn, this move also met with opposition from their own people, completely losing the chance to struggle.

On the real decisive day, the Northern Court did not break its promise, dispatched five Heavenly Dragons, but the actual output was the Northern Court crowned king, how could they really risk their lives to help? Not to mention that they had internal strife not long ago, and their remaining strength was limited.

Da Gan was dissatisfied with the Northern Court's attitude, caused contradictions, and finally turned around, intending to raid Nanzhili, fought for a few years, by mistake, all ran into the Jianghuai Great Lake, surrounded and suppressed by the Xu Duke, and the Jianghuai Water Battle broke out.

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

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

The story developed to this stage, already arrived at the field Liang Qu is familiar with.

As the General Conquering the West, He Ningyuan knows the past of the Northern Court, but does not know the situation in Jianghuai.

Liang Qu is just the opposite.

A little pondering, can dig out more details.

For example, Da Gan running back to Nanzhili is probably not "by mistake", maybe at that time he had already contacted the Flood Dragon King, intending to borrow the Northern Court, borrow the demon king, occupy a place, and become a surprise soldier in Jianghuai.

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

Martial Saints have star charts to prevent, encirclement and suppression have the Net Lord to inform, plus two self-slashing Martial Saints to guarantee the bottom, the Demon Queen and the Little Prince become spiritual leaders, the ritual resurrects the dead Perfected Form, Da Gan's remnants are theoretically completely stuck in a bug, a stubborn disease that cannot be eradicated, and can only be ground with time.

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

"Yeah, first, Da Gan lost it, Da Shun took it back, which shows the legitimacy of the law. Second, the Yellow Dragon King's fall will also be two sixty-year cycles, if it breeds another version of the Yellow King, it is definitely not a good thing for Da Shun.

On the contrary, a controllable dragon king is not only the product of the Yellow Sand River itself, but also has great benefits for both sides.

The Huai Prince has been to the Southern Frontier, knowing that the Southern Frontier has been intending to create a true dragon in the Lucang River with a fake dragon for decades————"

No need to say too clearly.

Da Shun's true dragon plan!

All information is now strung into a line.

The change of heaven and earth from Da Gan to Da 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 pinching Da Shun's needs.

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

Especially the difficulty of Da Shun doing it is smaller than that of the Southern Frontier. The Yellow Sand River is a completely inland river, and there is a corresponding position fruit in hand, no need to dig hard.

Otherwise, an ordinary small position fruit, wanting Shuofang Terrace, wanting Martial Saint body, Sick Tiger, thirty years of no Martial Saints, trading with each other, etc., is absolutely impossible, but————

"Are there any results now?"

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

"Me?"

"Why be humble, Huai Prince? In terms of understanding the Water Lord, and the person who is best at dealing with demon kings, no one is better than you, Huai Prince?

In the early years, you served in the River Po Office, and the Chief of the River Po Office, where the Governor of the Two Rivers is stationed, is on the Yellow Sand River. If the Imperial Court intends to use Shuofang Terrace to exchange, and actively breed the Yellow Sand River Dragon King, it will inevitably refer to your opinion."

He Ningyuan's prediction was not bad at all.

Late at night.

Heyuan Prefecture received a secret report from the Purple Lightning Ship Imperial Capital, not just a simple paper exchange.

Enter the capital immediately!

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

Long 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 plans, 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, when the matter is accomplished, let's look at the scenery of the Yellow Sand River together. The beach of the Yellow Sand River 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. Dry a little more, the silt will crack and warp into mud boards, stepping on it click click."

"How come you say it as if you have been there? And what kind of description is often suffocating people? You always say the Yellow Sand River has half a bowl of sand in a bowl of water, such muddy water, what if I choke?"

"I'll give you mouth-to-mouth Qi?"

"Poor!"

Red Mountain snorted outside the window.

"Gone."

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

"Leaving now?"

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

"Seeing the Holy Emperor is a good thing, it's hard for crowned kings to move around, relationships are easy to alienate, when I joined the army, I often went to report the situation to the old general, and now I often write letters."

"Isn't that what I asked you to write?"

Told everyone around, settled the affairs.

"Third Prince!"

"Coming! Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

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.

Red Mountain stepped into the air and galloped, turning into red clouds.

White Jade Palace three rooms and six openings, breaking through the flowing clouds!

" "

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

Northern Court Dome.

Officials inside observed the Zhou Tian Star Track Mirror, immediately knew Liang Qu was moving, and also tested Da Shun's attitude, whipped the horse, told the negotiation delegation, try to fight for more benefits.

"Bang!"

Flicked a finger, the window exploded into white smoke.

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

This time entering the capital, 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 pros and cons, for the Holy Emperor to choose, whether to exchange for the position fruit, and where the bottom line of the exchange is.

"Just right, have to go to the Yellow Sand River to find the Dragon Seed Great Demon, heard that there is a Demon King in the Yellow Sand River————"

Imperial Capital.

The glazed tiles are also covered in silver.

The ministers going to the early morning court were wearing big cloaks, resisting the wind and frost, waiting quietly, gathering into small circles, exchanging the Northern Court battle before the New Year, waiting for the front door to open.

Sky light purple.

Xu Xu Wenzhu raised his head, suddenly saw the red clouds floating in the sky, smiled slightly, flicked his sleeves and left the team.

"Eh, 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 and taste it together?"

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

"The door can't be opened today, at least it has to be postponed for a while, anyway it's not now."

"What?"

"Look, didn't see it just now————"

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

"My lords, today's big court————"

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

Long wind whistling.

White Jade Palace dissipated, flowing like milk on the ground. Liang Qu was in king's clothes, riding a horse down, let the martial hall disciples choose a post station to live in by themselves, and ran on the street alone with a horse.

There was a faint smell of sulfur on the street, it was not dawn yet, and there was the sound of firecrackers.

Took a deep breath.

Imperial Palace.

"See His Majesty!"

"Sit." In the Qinzheng Hall, the Holy Emperor did not have any polite words, pointed to one side, "Liang Qing, long time no see, has General He ever told you about the Northern Court exchanging for the position fruit?"

"Back to Your Majesty, he told me." Liang Qu bowed down, sat on the long chair, took out the pages from his bosom, "The matter is roughly known from General He, precisely because of this, the minister wrote a volume on the road, hoping to help Your Majesty."

The attendant took the pages and presented them on the tray.

The Holy Emperor did not look at it, but pressed the table backhand.

"Since this is the case, 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 boundless, the E River White Dragon is cold, all because the E River is an ice river, the Yellow Sand River Yellow Dragon is irritable, all because the Yellow Sand River is unruly and difficult to tame."

"Then Liang Qing, do you have any certainty to comb through the Yellow Sand River as a whole within three years? Make the ground river part completely sink into the underground?"

Straight to the point.

Liang Qu pondered.

The whole Yellow Sand River, maybe a million miles.

The ground river part, also more than twenty thousand miles, more than twenty thousand miles to walk, twenty times water travel a thousand miles, whoosh, but it can be changed into completely dredging it once————

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

"Good!" The Holy Emperor slapped the table, overjoyed, "What I want is this sentence of yours! If you can do it, this position fruit will be exchanged."

"Sharing worries for Your Majesty is what I wish." Liang Qu bowed again, "Just————Your Majesty wants to dredge the entire Yellow Sand River? Change the personality of the Yellow Sand Dragon King?"

The Holy Emperor nodded: "It is one of them. Our Da 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 prosperous and treasure fish are numerous, otherwise, it is decreasing day by day, dead and silent. However, with the Yellow Dragon King's personality, it is really difficult to cooperate."

Liang Qu nodded.

In the past, he bought a heterotype golden-eyed beast at the Tianbo Auction, stimulated golden eyes, but similar heterotypes, in the days to come, became fewer and fewer, difficult to encounter.

King Lord Prosperity!

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 Sand River may solve the urgent need for a while, and change the personality of the dragon king that will appear, but in the long run, this matter treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and there is a danger of change."

The Holy Emperor pondered.

"Indeed————"

Liang Qu struck while the iron was hot: "Rectifying the Yellow Sand River, dredging is mentioned, it is an imminent method, but besides dredging, how to solve it once and for all, the minister has other suggestions, which are on the pages."

"Oh?"

The Holy Emperor then opened the pages, browsed ten lines at a glance, and was surprised: "Fire attribute divine ability order?"

"Exactly, 'cutting down trees, without seasonal prohibition, water and drought disasters may not be caused by this', predecessors have long had clear lessons, wanting to use the strategy 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 it is tied to the people's cooking. It 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 having nothing to replace them.

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

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

"Eh————recited on the road?"
