Chapter 312: The Great Stage of Life

The monster fish was very similar to the Dunkleosteus in Liang Qu's memory.

The plate armor on the head, the thick iron-colored scales, the craggy interlocking sharp teeth...

It could be called a product of the combination of spear and shield.

There are differences between people, and there are also differences between spirit monsters; many spirit monsters have huge natural advantages; even if a fat-headed fish becomes a small spirit monster, it is not easy to deal with a mortal giant crocodile.

No wonder a group of Galloping Horse martial artists couldn't deal with it.

The underwater environment was unfavorable, and without realm advantages, they could only stalemate on the water surface.

Lu Xinqing lay on the side of the boat and retched, constantly washing his face with flood water.

The fishy smell of that monster fish was inexplicably heavy, and it was unbearable to smell even a little bit.

Chishan in the boat belly snorted, expressing disdain for Lu Xinqing's fuss.

Lu Xinqing felt Chishan's contempt, turned his head to glare, but didn't dare to speak, a sense of desolation arising in his heart.

The tiger falls to the flat plains and is bullied by the horse!

The sheepskin rafts drifted over one after another, and the Galloping Horse martial artists looked at the iron-headed fish on the side of the boat with lingering fears.

The fish monster that eight of them couldn't stalemate with, was actually solved by the young man in front of them in one encounter...

Could it be that he is already a Wolf Smoke expert at such a young age?

Thinking of his own old age, the martial artists' minds were unsettled.

Ling Shixiong had sharp eyes, and at first glance, he saw the pattern on Liang Qu's chest, hurriedly bowing and cupping his hands.

"I thought it was some hero who made a move, so it was a Water Minister from the River Bo Office; no wonder he could mobilize finless porpoises."

The other martial artists heard Ling Shixiong's words, cast aside their thoughts, and followed suit to cup their hands and ask for greetings.

"Hard work, my lord."

"The lord is truly young."

"The archery and spear skills are so good, I thought it would be a middle-aged martial artist."

"Heroes come from youth, we are old, haha."

Liang Qu scanned the sound.

Ling Shixiong looked to be about fifty, but his hair was gray, giving people a sense of inexplicable old age.

Looking back, the other Galloping Horse martial artists were basically like little old men, their real age probably being seventy or eighty.

Thinking of the Yan Qingshan and Yan Chongwen brothers under his command, the few martial artists in front of him were mostly too old, with no hope of progress in martial arts, and unwilling to leave their hometown to seek a future elsewhere.

Several people followed the fleet to fight with the monster fish, mostly responding to the magistrate's call to help deal with some water beasts causing trouble.

"Seniors, don't be like this; I came to Huazhu County for the flood, just to find Magistrate Yu to understand the situation, and discuss how to repair the Qiu Gong Dike and transfer the common people; please wait for idle talk later; once the flood recedes, we will have plenty of time to talk."

"Exactly, exactly."

"The lord is right, Magistrate Yu is on the boat, let's go quickly, bring this fish monster back and let someone handle it."

"Seniors, please."

Xu Yuelong gave a total of three main tasks.

The top priority is to settle the common people, followed by finding out the disaster range, and figuring out the root of the flood is only ranked third.

Things have already happened; the urgent task is to deal with the flood and settle the common people.

Nothing is more important than this.

Liang Qu let Lu Xinqing shake the long oar and follow the sheepskin rafts.

Everyone leaned on the fleet and found the large ship where Magistrate Yu was.

Liang Qu boarded the deck and sized up the ship body under the awe-struck eyes of the common people.

The fire was burning, reflecting a red color.

The large ship's mast still had the flag of a certain merchant fleet, clearly also temporarily drawn by Yu Dayi from which merchant fleet.

Ling Shixiong scanned left and right, finding that Yu Dayi on the bow of the boat had disappeared, and turned to ask the personal attendant where he went.

"Where is Magistrate Yu? He was just here."

"My lord said that some disaster victims haven't boarded the ship yet, and there isn't much space on the ship, so he still needs time to coordinate, and temporarily has no time to entertain the lord."

The attendant who passed the message smiled awkwardly.

When the gods fight, the little ghosts suffer; I don't know what madness the magistrate has, actually daring to leave the lord from the River Bo Office hanging.

I'm really afraid that the spear shot that killed the fish monster will land on my own head.

The attendant gripped his sleeves, his entire forehead covered in oil and cold sweat under the firelight.

Liang Qu was dumbfounded; with the flood raging, as a seventh-rank official, his status was undoubtedly higher than the magistrate!

He actually got the "cold shoulder"?

Ling Shixiong, who was the oldest, saw something wrong and hurriedly smoothed things over: "Since Magistrate Yu is concerned about the common people, the lord might as well sit down and have a cup of tea.

It has been less than thirty hours since the flood happened; the lord must have rushed all the way from Pingyang County, so taking a rest will also clear your thoughts and come up with a plan, which is also good for the common people."

Liang Qu didn't know what medicine Yu Dayi was selling in his gourd, and he didn't get used to it at all, saying directly: "Magistrate Yu is dissatisfied."

As soon as this was said, several Galloping Horse martial artists broke into a cold sweat.

Ling Shixiong opened his mouth but couldn't say a word.

Liang Qu said: "Since Magistrate Yu is settling the common people, I naturally can't be idle; no need for him to come see me, you take me to see him."

"Ah, this..."

"Can't?"

"No, no, no, I'll take you to see him, take you to see him."

The attendant wiped his forehead sweat and hurriedly turned to lead Liang Qu along the jumping board between the ships.

As soon as Liang Qu left, Ling Shixiong and several old brothers looked at each other.

"Shixiong..." a martial artist pointed to Liang Qu's back, "What's the situation?"

Ling Shixiong shook his head.

"Are we going to follow?"

"Don't follow, don't follow, I'm old and my brain doesn't turn, don't go join the fun; anyway, whatever they want us to do, we do, don't get involved in it."

What about Galloping Horse martial artists?

Seventh-rank official.

No matter how powerful the person is, they represent the face of Great Shun.

If the face is lost, Great Martial Artists, Grandmasters, and Martial Saints will help find the face back layer by layer.

Can't afford to offend, so hide.

"Has Old Li's corpse been fished up? And that monster fish, how to handle it?"

"Old Li... wait for the magistrate to express his position; leave the monster fish alone, wait for that lord to speak."

The jumping board shook.

Liang Qu followed behind the attendant and could see the attendant wink at a few people, going out to report in advance, but didn't stop it.

After walking over two jumping boards and arriving at the third merchant ship, Liang Qu heard a roar through the wooden door.

"They want to take the credit, and we have to carry the revenge! Is it fair? Now it's good, the flood is here, they can still take another pen, only suffering the thousands of common people in my Huazhu County!"

The attendant's back was even more hunched.

Lu Xinqing, who was at the very end, raised the corners of his mouth, gloating.

Fight, fight!

Fight until your brains are splattered! Blood flows like a river!

Liang Qu stood outside the door, his eyes flashing.

He didn't understand the purpose of the cold shoulder before, but the intentional complaint now roughly guessed the purpose of Magistrate Yu's performance.

"Open the door."

The attendant's body trembled; he didn't dare to disobey and stepped forward to pull open the wooden door.

Creak.

Liang Qu stepped in.

In the study, Magistrate Yu seemed to have lingering anger, his chest heaving up and down, glaring at the attendant who opened the door without permission, and then his peripheral vision caught Liang Qu; he "just" realized that a great person had come and hurriedly straightened his clothes.

"A few servants handled things poorly, lost composure, lost composure; don't know the River Bo Office lord..."

"Distinguishing between friend and foe! Distinguishing between urgent and not! Distinguishing between right and wrong! Confused about major matters! Unclear about minor matters! Unclear about principles! Unclear and indistinguishable! This official really doesn't know what sage books Magistrate Yu read, did he read them into a dog's belly? How exactly did he pass the Metropolitan Graduate exam? Could it be that he bribed the examiner with money?"

Liang Qu's words were like a cannon, opening his mouth to scold, shocking everyone's hair to stand on end.

Even Lu Xinqing, who was gloating, felt that the intensity was a bit too high.

Yu Dayi was able to hold his ground, not slow or fast: "Don't know why the lord says this; if there are any places where Yu did wrong, there is no need to be rude to this extent, right?"

Liang Qu sneered.

"Magistrate Yu hides in the room and makes insinuations; is this what a great man does?

Letting the attendant rush over to stall me about settling disaster victims, while he himself points at the mulberry and scolds the locust in the study; is this what a great man does?

With natural disasters raging, Magistrate Yu can still use settling the common people as an excuse to hide in the room and be full of resentment!

With such behavior, no wonder the Qiu Gong Dike broke! Truly worthy of a good job!"

Yu Dayi wanted to refute, but his thoughts turned, and he simply said directly: "Is the fact not so? You River Bo Office played a great prestige, fought a nest of Ghost Mother Sect followers, got the credit, but the revenge and dike breaking afterwards have to be borne by my Huazhu County; can you do it but not say it?"

Liang Qu sneered, and he grabbed Lu Xinqing by the collar and pulled him to his front.

"Saying Magistrate Yu read books into a dog's belly is really not wrong at all; even water bandits know more clearly than Magistrate Yu!"

Lu Xinqing was confused.

Who?

Me? ===== CHAPTER 313 =====
