Chapter 1271

"Roaming with the girl in the nine rivers, the rushing wind rises and the water lifts waves.

Riding a water cart with lotus covers, driving two dragons with chi—"

Human voices were mixed, buzzing.

Where the prayer words were directed, the Yellow Dragon soared into the sky.

The divine dragon soared and flicked its tail, straight into the clouds, swinging open the thick clouds, rising to the highest point, the dragon's head turned, diving straight down, crashing into the river bed, smashing into the ground, turning around.

The inner river shook.

Thousand-zhang waves rose to the sky, floods emerged, waves rushed down, watering the wheat fields, scattering a burst of pleasant light rain, half-damp and half-dry, steaming away the rising summer heat.

The people on both banks raised their hands high, cheering for the River God, worshipping and kneeling.

Floods, prayers, vibrations, wind whistling, wheat leaves rustling—all sounds mixed together, magnificent and vast, solemn and sacred, and everyone who came and went was in awe.

The young man stepped on the waves, in loose clothes, his clothes hunting.

Wherever he passed, the whirlpool water manifested into big hands, netting the mud and throwing it to both banks. There was no need for special personnel to deal with it. Local officials stopped the looting, and the villagers were willing to move away this high-quality river mud.

The river bed sank bit by bit, and the water level fell bit by bit.

The people carried poles, the crowd stretched, digging together, participating together, which was very spectacular.

"Hulala."

Tatta Kai turned the rudder, and the golden monkey pulled the rope.

The treasure boat changed direction, splitting the waves, crushing through the whirlpool majestically.

"The water level has dropped by three zhang and six feet!"

"Three zhang and eight feet here!"

"No problem! Can pass. Can pass!"

"Release people!"

The martial artist pulled out the measuring ruler, and the red and green signal flags intersected, allowing the fishermen to resume production.

The sheepskin rafts floated and sank again.

This time, there were no terrifying waves, no man-eating tides.

The oily single ponytail flicked lightly, the end curled, Si Nan stood at the bow of the boat, holding a pen to record, filling in the booklet records seriously, witnessing the madness of the people on both banks, watching once, recording once, marveling at the extraordinary power once.

The three kings governed the water. Prince Dingxi and Prince Zhang Longxiang also governed the Yellow Sand River in the upper and middle reaches, opening mountains and leveling rivers, intercepting bends and taking straights, and summoned many Hunting Tigers and Perfected Forms to help with the aftermath. Most of the personnel of the River Office were mobilized.

It was not just the north, even the two River Offices of Huaidong and Huaixi in the south went into battle together to assist in governance, and almost all the surrounding people were mobilized.

The scale was magnificent, the number of people was large, rare in the world, the first in this dynasty, and even the previous canal digging was not like this.

On the contrary, Prince Huai and the Ape King, who were the most severe in rectifying the ground river, did not use any of them, and almost cleared the river channel by their own strength.

In just three days, more than 400 miles of river bed were leveled, dropping several zhang and dozens of zhang!

Yellow Sand River, it is not some unknown small river.

How wide is the river surface, ten miles, dozens of miles, or even more than a hundred miles? Ordinary people could not see the edge at all. It was majestic and terrifying. Under the hands of one man and one ape, the Yellow Dragon soared into the sky, roaring in the sky.

Si Nan would sometimes waver.

No wonder the people were terrified, scrambling to sacrifice cattle and sheep, even living people were willing to give up.

Under infinite power, mortals are so small, no different from ants on the ridge of a field.

Unfold the map.

Along the direction, the next is a flat straight line, which is easier to clean up.

"Tonight, we should be able to push to 600 miles—"

"Ah, tonight? Is there no dinner party?" The snot bubble burst, the dragon horns stood up, the Third Prince raised his head in a Jianghuai Daze, touched his belly, "Didn't you say there was a big meal tonight? I've been hungry for three days, damn it, my stomach is hungry and flat, and you say there's no food! Hurry, you sycophant, go fry two dishes for me!"

"Dinner party? What dinner party?" Si Nan turned her head.

"What, so you don't know, you scared this prince." The Third Prince raised his hand, "Sycophant, come back!"

The deck was wide, a lounge chair was set up, the sun was good, the Third Prince's belly was facing the sky, hanging on the lounge chair, pointing and pointing, shouting at the fat thing behind him who didn't know if it was a frog or a fish or something else, but anyway, it had manifested into a human form.

The white mist monster that had walked halfway came back, flicking two "long whiskers", rubbing shoulders and kneading backs.

Seeing Chief Clerk Si Nan asking.

The Third Prince moved his butt down, padded his head with two claws, and flicked his tail.

"Yes, three days ago, the demon king in the Yellow Sand River said he would invite the boss to dinner, today—" The Third Prince broke his dragon claws, "One, two, two—is it today?"

"It is today."

"Prince Huai!"

Si Nan bowed respectfully.

Liang Qu landed on the deck: "Calculate the time, it's about time. Get ready to go. Last time Green River Duke said he would invite me to dinner. Do you want to come together? Just sit down and discuss water governance. If the Viceroy has time, come together."

"So that's it." Si Nan's expression became solemn, "I will return to the government office and report to the Water River Viceroy."

"Okay." Liang Qu waved his hand, "Third Prince, you take Si Nan, go and come back quickly."

"Guarantee to complete the task! Sycophant! Move out!"

The lounge chair ejected, the Third Prince spat out white mist again.

The "big frog" that was rubbing shoulders and kneading backs swelled rapidly, turning into a smooth big fish.

Si Nan jumped onto the back of the big fish, as if riding on floating clouds, observing back and forth: "Third Prince, what you manifested, is it a frog or a fish?"

"Both."

"Both?" Si Nan thought for a moment, "Could it be a strange species in Jianghuai?"

"Oh, it's just a mere sycophant! You don't have to care, and don't pay attention to these details." The Third Prince waved his claws, "Sit tight, get ready to take off!"

The floating clouds wrapped around Si Nan, the scenery on both banks flew past rapidly, drawing an arc behind, and plunged into the Yellow Sand River, breaking into the whirlpool—

"Wuwuwu, why does the Great King want to feast the white ape? That is a fierce beast that eats fish without spitting out bones. If it goes monkey-crazy, we are all finished!"

"Where did you hear that?"

"What do you mean hear, personal experience!"

"Tell me in detail."

"The year before last, my second aunt's niece married to Jianghuai in her early years. After she married, she had a granddaughter. I heard that the Jianghuai Dragon organized the Great Huai Army, with generous treatment, and went out to work. As a result, in the blink of an eye, the Great Huai Army was gone, and she hasn't come back to this day."

"I heard it was caught by the white ape and stewed into fish head soup! And sprinkled with a full handful of green onions! Alas, the little spirit monster who was only two and a half years old was beautiful, and the male fish pursuing her lined up to the shore. My poor niece's granddaughter, whom I have never met."

"What? Sprinkled with green onions? Is there such a thing?"

"If you ask me, whether it's true or not, this move is indeed dangerous. The white ape has extraordinary strength, and even the dragon can be chased away. It must be top-notch, and it is in collusion with the human race, binding water and flushing sand. It has long been not of one mind with our water tribe. The ancient fish said, the gentleman fish does not climb the shore of a dangerous lake."

The three leading green fish whispered to each other, speaking eloquently, all thinking that the Great King's meeting today was unwise and taking risks. Suddenly, they saw a treasure boat sailing over, hurriedly stopped nagging, sat upright, and went forward to greet them.

Two rows of big fish swam, floated their upper bodies, flicked their fins into whirlwinds, stirred up water flowers, and bowed to salute.

"Green Duke Bay, welcome Prince Huai and Ape King!"

The shouts behind rang out in a piece.

"Green Duke Bay, welcome Prince Huai and Ape King!"

Splash.

The sails were retracted, the iron chains swung, the big anchor fell, splashing water.

Briefly quiet.

White mist spread, gathered into stairs, spread into the water, the little white dragon swam leisurely, two river otters rolled several times, looked around, checked the water environment, and stepped aside.

"Report to the boss, safe! No eight hundred sword-axe fins!"

Long boots stepped on the stairs, Liang Qu took the lead, stood on the white jade stairs, didn't look at the welcoming green fish, first looked at the river scenery, and in the waiting of the green fish teams on both sides, nodded slightly, and stepped down.

After that, Water River Viceroy Great Qian Bingyi, Chief Clerk Si Nan, and Huai River Water Transport Viceroy Su Guishan followed one after another.

A strange acquaintance seemed to have mixed into the team.

Liang Qu didn't expect to meet his uncle today, it was really a coincidence.

This year's governance of the Yellow Sand River can be said to be the strength of the whole country, with countless manpower and material resources deployed, especially the River Office. Now that the Huaidong River Office has no Ghost Mother Sect to confront, and the water beasts are controlled by Prince Huai, the work pressure is greatly reduced. A group of second generations naturally go where there is credit, go through the Ministry of Personnel process, all on the list, and follow the north to support.

Anyway, with 【Vortex Escape Path】, it is very convenient to come and go.

As a result, the Third Prince took Si Nan to the General Office, and just happened to run into Huai River Viceroy Su Guishan who came to the General Office to hand over work. Once he heard that he could follow his nephew's grandson to eat big households—

"Hahaha, Yellow Sand River, the water is wide and boundless, deep and bottomless, and its origin is unknown for ten thousand miles. Or say it comes from the Tianshan Mountains in the west, and the vitality melts and begins from here. The earth's foundation collapses and the sky pillar breaks, so it rushes and reverses day and night without stopping—"

Su Guishan chanted leisurely, looked at the two people on the left and right, took half a step back, like a waiter in a restaurant, bowed comically, "Viceroy, Chief Clerk, two superiors, please come in."

"Viceroy Su, please."

"Senior, please."

"Hahaha, polite, polite.

"

The three of them humbled each other down the stairs.

Further back.

Bai Awei, who had half-human-high fists hitting double pincers and golden light crisscrossing, "Cannot Move" in emerald green, and the round-headed one who brought two confidants opened their short legs, and ran down one after another.

Eat big households.

Not one can be left behind!

Liang Qu's Ze Ling has not yet advanced and cannot be improved, but the water beasts all have big gaps.

The three echelons all came to the water surface.

The leading green fish poked its head back, seeing no one, and tentatively asked: "I don't know if the Ape King—"

"The Ape King has social phobia, is not good at attending the feast, and is busy governing the yellow sand, so he specially asked me to apologize to Green River Duke."

"Social—phobia?"

"Alas, it's just introverted, not good at seeing raw fish, but don't worry, I come equals the white ape coming, the white ape coming equals me coming, there is no difference."

The green fish scratched its head, didn't dare to ask more, and bowed to lead the way.

"Since that's the case, Prince Huai, several lords, please this way."

The stairs entered the water, and the shadows were long.

The water waves spread, and a group of people sank into the Yellow Sand River level by level.

Su Guishan was full of emotion: "In the past, I traveled the Yellow Sand River, magnificent and majestic, rushing waves and whirlpools, but this is the first time I have come to a banquet under the water."

Liang Qu turned his head: "The year before last, everyone spent the New Year in the Dragon Palace. Uncle, this is the first time you have had a banquet under the water this year?

Does it only count within a year?"

"Hahaha, forgot, forgot." Su Guishan laughed loudly.

The atmosphere was cheerful and relaxed, and the leading green fish slightly relaxed its tense nerves and concentrated on leading the way.

The four went into the water, Liang Qu's heart moved, and on top of each person's head, there was a layer of bubble water film separated, no matter how they walked, they didn't shake, and followed at all times.

Sank to the bottom of the water.

Long boots stepped on the white jade stairs, different from the usual river bed silt, the soles of the feet still felt extremely solid and hard.

No surprise.

This is the self-influence of the demon king occupying it.

【Mist Flow】, creates trapped beast wild currents, dark currents, through long-term stay and residence, can condense dark water areas near the cave, which will not dissipate for a long time.

【Gold Rock】, long-term residence, can catalyze special mineral veins, gold rock mines.

【Corrosive Poison Spring】, the habitat gradually changes into a corrosive poison spring, swallowing prey, absorbing vitality.

【Water Essence Vitality】, cleans the water area, absorbs a small amount of water essence, guides the gathering of water essence, has a chance to attract and breed treasure fish, and can protect the spirituality of treasure fish to a certain extent.

The water beasts under his command, when they were promoted to demon beasts, each had manifestations in related aspects. Liang Qu didn't dare to let them live in the pond for a long time, so as not to disturb the environment.

Green River Duke is a demon king, two major realms apart, not to mention.

The location of his royal palace is not in the middle of the river, but a big lake on the side of the river, living with a large number of green fish, and belonging to the race.

This lake does not exist naturally, or it was not so big originally. It is similar to an oxbow lake formed by the bending of the river. Because Green River Duke occupied it, it slowly became a "dam", so the river gradually changed its course, and the lake became wider and wider. The upper reaches exposed a large beach and swamp, where many amphibians and various treasure beasts lived, and hunters often drowned in it.

Walking into the depths of the lake, the water quality gradually became different from the outside. The fluffy water algae spread on the ground, like a lawn, adsorbing mud and sand.

Not to say clear, at least not turbid.

The ground is flat and tidy, various cave buildings are scattered, and the traffic is all fish species characteristic of the Yellow Sand River, plus several strange beasts, running in the water.

Better than the frog tribe that hadn't experienced Afei and Fist transformation in the past, slightly inferior to the turtle tribe, definitely put in great effort to engage in construction, the only drawback is the altitude is too high, the place is too big, significantly raising the water level of the Yellow Sand River!

Liang Qu observed the environment quietly.

"Several lords, we are here." The leading green fish stopped swimming, its fins forward.

The towering royal palace rose from the ground.

On both sides of the road, green fish crawled.

Before the few people approached, they could feel an extremely majestic momentum rising.

Green River Duke!

"When the friend comes, I am happy every day; when he doesn't come, I look forward to it every day—"

The long chant was faint, and the King came out of the palace.

Light and shadow flickered, scales flicked.

The fish scales all over the body were like ink jade and celadon melted, long whiskers fluttering like long snakes, the mountain-like Green Fish King sat on the throne, his body was majestic, his spine was like a mountain, completely transcending the concept of "fish", full of the beauty of power, the beauty of wildness.

Demon King!

Yellow Dragon King is not here, one of the three fish who speak, Green River Duke!

Si Nan's expression was nervous.

She had read countless booklet records, but today was the first time she faced a real demon king, and she had no idea what the negotiation result would be.

No matter what realm a person is in, if they don't release their aura, there is no big difference in essence and spirit. Demon beasts are different. Just the appearance is enough to make people feel an irresistible heart. No matter what creature, for giant objects, there is naturally a kind of—

"Wuhu, what an imposing Green Fish King!" The Third Prince opened his arms, imitating the ups and downs of a kite, "But I'm so hungry, where is the food, where is the food, I want to have a big meal!"

Fist walked sideways, round head carried fins, Bai Awei opened and closed his mouth, "Cannot Move" patted his tail.

They, all hungry for three days!

Liang Qu bowed his hands: "The subordinates are naughty, Green River Duke, don't blame me."

"Hahaha!" The tense atmosphere vanished. The Green Fish King laughed at the sky, waved his fins, and everyone floated up gently, straight into the side hall, "What's the blame, the guest comes home, it should be so! Prince Huai, everyone, take your seats first! Come fish, serve the dishes!"

"Boss, Green Fish King, watch me perform three bites for one fish for you! Aowu Aowu."

The three-zhang Third Prince hugged the three-zhang big fish, suddenly expanded and became bigger, turned into a hundred zhang, swallowed it in one bite, and then turned back to its original size, burping lightly.

Liang Qu's water beasts, one by one, showed their original forms, swallowing treasure fish and treasure plants in big mouths.

Su Guishan drank wine, shouted heartily, invited everyone to raise their glasses together, and celebrated this moment.

The Green Fish King's mouth twitched, and he picked up the wine jar.

This group of people, did they get something wrong? Shouldn't it be in the name of eating, discussing the movements of the past few days, and how the two sides can live in peace? Are they really here to eat?

The green fish demon served the dishes, sweating profusely, only feeling that a group of hungry ghosts had come.

【Water Essence +30】

Liang Qu had thirty essences in one chopstick, thirty essences in one chopstick—

Everyone was focused on eating, only Water River Viceroy Great Qian Bingyi had the heart to discuss business, and it was not easy to overstep, so as not to let the demon king think that Great Shun looked down on him and have the opposite effect.

Finally, the Green Fish King couldn't hold back his temper and spoke first: "I heard that the human race intends to rectify the Yellow Sand River, and the day before yesterday, they even restrained the water to flush the sand for hundreds of miles. The movement was magnificent and rare in the world. I don't know, Prince Huai, what is the plan for the next step?"

Liang Qu put down his chopsticks and went straight to the point: "The plan for the next step is naturally to continue flushing the sand until the East China Sea.

To tell the truth, Green River Duke, now that the southern border is in chaos and the northern court has stopped, our Great Shun has no more constraints.

Therefore, this Yellow Sand River must be governed. It must be governed. And within two years, the ground river part must be completely submerged into the ground, including the river section near Green River Duke, which is the most critical priority."

The Green Fish King's scalp wrinkled: "Prince Huai's meaning, could it be that you want my clan to relocate? Abandon hundreds of years of construction, ancestral foundation? Let you Great Shun submerge the river?"

As soon as these words came out, the serving green fish all stopped, and the atmosphere gradually cooled.

Only the water beasts, life is endless, and the fish is endless.

Mid-level demon, upper-level demon, eat, eat, eat, rush, rush, rush!

The sound of bones being crushed crackled, and the Third Prince hugged the fish head and tore it.

The oppressive atmosphere covered it.

Great Qian Bingyi and Si Nan looked left and right, unable to help but grab the ground with their toes.

"Of course not." Liang Qu shook his head.

"Oh, I'd like to hear the details."

The stagnant atmosphere flowed again, and the green fish demon served the dishes slowly.

"Our Great Shun has always convinced people with virtue, convinced fish with virtue. His Majesty is even more wise. In his early years, he was on good terms with the Dragon King and bred dragon-blood horses, deeply understanding the principle that cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and will never make things difficult for the water tribe.

Not to mention, when Green River Duke built this place hundreds of years ago, Great Shun was not yet established. Since ancient times, first come, first served, how can we ask for relocation? But submerging the river into the ground is a national policy, which benefits the country and the water beasts, and must be implemented."

"Doesn't that still mean relocation?"

"No!" Liang Qu denied again, "No need to move, no need to move!"

"How to submerge the river without moving?"

Obviously, the Green Fish King knew clearly where his clan was located, how much impact it had on the nearby Yellow Sand River, directly leading to the river bed rising dozens of zhang in the nearby dozens of miles, and even hundreds of miles, and the subsequent impact was even thousands of miles.

"Of course you can."

Related plans, Liang Qu had clarified with the Imperial Observatory when he was in the capital.

Violence is by no means the only way to solve problems. Many things once started, perhaps solved the problem at the time, but will bury hidden dangers for the future.

The so-called lessons from the past.

This time, the demon king of the Yellow Sand River was violently suppressed. When Great Shun faces a major crisis again, demon kings in other places may feel sorry for each other and attack in groups.

Just like the non-crown prince violently ascending to the throne, the latecomers will also imitate, and there are too many similar examples such as espionage politics, assassination politics—there are too many relevant examples, and "the power of example" will bring bad influence to the entire organizational structure.

Therefore, if it can be handled peacefully, it should be handled peacefully, as much as possible to be happy for everyone, and to achieve the best of both worlds.

"I don't know if Green River Duke has heard of sinking wells?"

"Never heard of it."

Liang Qu snapped his fingers: "Third Prince!"

No response.

The Third Prince buried his head and ate hard.

Liang Qu grabbed the dragon tail and pulled it over.

"Don't, boss! Let me go, I'm not full! I can still eat!" The Third Prince hugged the table corner tightly, like a rubber band, his body stretched and shrunk, seeing "Cannot Move", round head and other fish still eating, crying bitterly.

One step first, step by step, one step back, step by step.

Eat less, essence less, promotion less, can't beat the sycophant—

"Then you finish early and you can continue eating? You can eat while working."

"Oh, here, here."

The little lip dragon broke off the fish head with two claws, turned around and spat out mist.

White mist filled the air, and immediately shaped a huge cylindrical object, like a chimney.

The cylindrical object was built with bricks and stones. At the bottom, there was a piece of mud earth, inside a little white man waving a pickaxe along the cylinder wall to dig soil, and at the top, there were mud masons applying mortar, building bricks and stones, and raising the cylinder column.

When the little white man at the bottom dug out a circle, the mud disappeared, and the whole cylinder column sank a section, the people above continued to build, the people below continued to dig, and so on.

A vivid dynamic simulation.

"This is—" Green River Duke vaguely understood.

"This is sinking well construction, which is digging from below, letting the well wall sink naturally, and then adding the well wall from above. In this way, you can complete the sinking without relocation. Many wells in the human race are dug like this."

"What about quicksand?" Green Fish King asked, "If the quicksand doesn't change, is it sinking once every few decades?"

"Green River Duke, don't worry, our Great Shun naturally has considerations. Double-pronged approach, the yellow sand problem is also being addressed.

In fact, the water level sinking is also good for Green River Duke, because our Great Shun will further widen the lake later, better to store water and release it."

Liang Qu's chopsticks were together, "As the saying goes, if the water is deep, the fish are happy, and if the city is strong, the merchants are prosperous. I believe, His Majesty believes, that the human race and the water beasts, the land and the yellow sand, both sides work together, temporary payment, Green River Duke does not change the territory, and it will be more prosperous in the future!"

The Third Prince bit the fish head and screamed.

"Water and land prosperity!"

Crack crack.

The royal palace was quiet, and only the sound of water beasts biting and swallowing bones remained.

Half a moment.

"Such a huge workload, who can sink it?"

"Green River Duke, don't worry, I don't know if you have heard of the Jianghuai big enterprise—Fei Brother Quan Heavy Industry?"
