Chapter 493: Settle the Final Payment First!

"Master Liang should know what happened yesterday."

The Red-Scaled didn't have the heart to joke with Liang Qu and got straight to the point.

"Are you talking about the Heposuo holding a snake meat banquet where everyone gets a share?" Liang Qu sneered, "I tasted it, the taste was average, old and tough, just those military men and river officials like to eat it."

"You!"

The Blue Viper was furious, but was stopped by the Yellow-Scaled and Orange-Scaled, and dragged away forcibly.

"Let go of me! Let go of me..."

The giant snake's roar drifted away.

Liang Qu turned a deaf ear.

The Red-Scaled didn't apologize: "Will the Bai Yuan still come according to the appointment tonight?"

Liang Qu despised the giant snake: "You guess?"

Dead silence.

Half a moment later.

"Lan Hui spoke out of turn and caused much offense; I apologize on its behalf. I hope Master Liang is magnanimous." The red-scaled snake tail uncoils a fluorescent blue lotus flower.

Liang Qu accepted the lotus flower, pinched the cup-shaped flower disk, and said slowly: "The Bai Yuan left me a letter saying that snake demons are haunting near Pingyang Prefecture, it's not safe, so the meeting is temporarily canceled and will be discussed another day."

The Red-Scaled endured the impatience: "What day is another day?"

"Don't know." Liang Qu leaned on the partition, hands on his knees, index finger tapping, "Ten days or half a month, maybe longer, who knows. When the Bai Yuan feels safe, it will show its head."

Ten days or half a month?

The Red-Scaled felt a nameless fire.

"Too long!"

"Long?" Liang Qu stood up abruptly, looking down and scolding the Red-Scaled, "You also know it's long? I don't know what happened to that purple snake, but you have already startled the snake! It made me feel terrified too. The Bai Yuan didn't doubt me because my friendship with it is deep enough! Now you tell me it's long?"

Liang Qu was furious, taking the lead, looking like he couldn't wait to jump on the giant snake's face and stomp a few times.

For a time, he actually suppressed the Red-Scaled's fire.

Thinking carefully, the other party did have losses, and if not handled properly, it would be a plain invitation for the Bai Yuan to stare at them.

The Red-Scaled felt stifled.

The appearance of the purple snake caught all the snakes off guard.

It never expected that Lord Jiaolong waited for two months, but would send snakes to urge them at this exact moment, and would be discovered by the Bai Yuan.

But things had come to this.

"Half a month is truly too long. I earnestly hope Master Liang can think of a way to arrange another meeting within five days! There will absolutely be no accidents or trouble! We will capture the white ape in one fell swoop!"

The Red-Scaled swore to guarantee.

Regardless, the Jiaolong had already sent snakes to urge the Red-Scaled in Pingyang Prefecture, and they were killed by the Bai Yuan.

The messenger's round trip takes time, and by the time Lord Jiaolong realizes something is wrong and sends other giant snakes, there is still a buffer of a few days in between.

Five days is roughly the limit of this buffer.

As long as the Bai Yuan is killed during this period, and the monkey head is brought back, the purple snake's death and the payment of resources will all become irrelevant!

"Powerless to help!" Liang Qu coldly refused, "Snake demons appear near the shore, and I rush to summon the Bai Yuan again. If you fail, I won't have any room for maneuver!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

The Red-Scaled swore to guarantee.

Liang Qu was unmoved.

"It really won't work... my lord, just name your price!" The Red-Scaled was forced and added money again, "How much do you want to be willing to take the risk!"

Liang Qu was happy in his heart.

Finally here!

Dragging on for so long, wasn't it just for this?

What the Red-Scaled said before, after the matter is done, there will be a thick reward.

It shows that the snake demons still have things to squeeze!

This final payment.

Liang Qu wanted to settle it in advance!

It's a pity that the price increase absolutely cannot be raised by himself, and he can't even say he's canceling the deal.

Otherwise, the other party would definitely suspect he was setting a trap.

On the contrary, if the deal isn't canceled, only postponed, the Red-Scaled will not only not suspect, but will be forced by the Jiaolong's pressure to take the initiative to raise the price!

Little did they know Liang Qu saw through everything.

The Jiaolong's favor was taken away, it would definitely be angry, and sending snakes to urge the Red-Scaled in Pingyang Prefecture was perfectly normal.

But this encrypted information was only received by him in the entire Great Lake!

Liang Qu stood straight and opened his five fingers.

"Five bottles of Meridian Marrow Jade Liquid! Ten Golden Gong Fish! Twenty lotus flowers! One hundred lotus seeds!"

"Can't do it!"

The Red-Scaled's eyes turned red.

The Snake clan didn't need these things to open meridians at all; they were all accumulations from past looting of merchant ships and tributes from small clans.

This time they brought almost all of them, where would there be five bottles?

The lotus flowers and lotus seeds that followed were even more of a lion's opening.

"Stop talking about this matter!"

"Three bottles! Only three bottles!"

"Five bottles! Must be five bottles!"

"Damn it!"

Underwater.

The Blue Viper twitched frantically, and a large number of scales were scraped off.

Dense white silk-like growth under the skin covered and approached, actually making the Blue Viper's momentum constantly rise!

The Yellow-Scaled and Orange-Scaled looked at each other, their scales itching, as if they were the ones refining their bodies.

After the Blue Viper completely calmed down.

The Red-Scaled entered the water.

The three snake demons hurriedly surrounded: "How did it go?"

The Red-Scaled sighed: "Yellow-Scaled, give everything brought out to that kid. Within five days, there will be a second meeting."

"Give it all?"

"Give it all."

The Yellow-Scaled hesitated: "This, what if he doesn't recognize the account..."

"Shouldn't." The Red-Scaled was silent for a moment, "The Bai Yuan did appear near the shore today, which you and I saw with our own eyes, it was just too coincidental, bumping into the purple snake, startling the ape, but the other party took the money and is doing things."

"I listen to Lord Red."

The Yellow-Scaled didn't struggle anymore, his whole body's muscles tightened, gradually squirming and undulating from his abdomen, all the way to his neck, and with a splash, vomited two treasure chests, and his tail rolled them up to the water surface.

This time.

The treasures the snakes brought out from the Dragon Palace were all given away.

"This kid, what a big appetite! Not afraid of eating until he bursts! If it weren't for his position in the Heposuo, even if he were a Great Martial Artist, I would swallow him alive!" The Blue Viper flicked its tongue incessantly.

The things before and after added up, enough to bribe a Great Martial Artist!

Yet it was taken by a Wolf Smoke kid!

"Calm down!" The Red-Scaled's tail grabbed the Blue Viper's head and pulled it in front, "No matter what, you cannot take action! This kid's life or death is completely irrelevant, the Bai Yuan is the big matter!"

"Hmph!"

On the boat.

Liang Qu opened the treasure chest.

Three bottles of Meridian Marrow Jade Liquid, three red fish, three white fish, one two-life flower of the same size, one portion of thousand-year water treasure ginseng, three treasure lotus flowers, twenty lotus seeds.

The final payment is really rich!

Worried that Liang Qu didn't know the goods, the Yellow-Scaled giant snake specially explained.

"The red treasure fish with a mane is called the Red-Maned Lion Fish. It is not as delicious as the Golden Gong Fish, but it is a treasure medicine for body forging. In terms of eating effect, it is far better than the Golden Gong Fish.

The milky white one with colorful light is called the Mermaid. The effect is not as good as the Golden Gong Fish, and even worse than the Red-Maned Lion Fish.

However, eating it has a miraculous effect of keeping one's youth. Humans often buy it at a high price, one is worth more than a thousand gold, priceless.

Lord Red-Scaled specially selected them. The Red-Maned Lion Fish and Mermaid are both excellent products. One is for self-strengthening, and one is for sending out to handle things, ensuring the lord's official career is smooth!

Blue spoke rudely before, my lord, please don't take it to heart, it is always brainless and straightforward."

Liang Qu waved his hand.

The Yellow-Scaled didn't say much and turned to leave.

Things were stuffed into the cabin.

Liang Qu rubbed his hands, suppressing his excitement.

The treasures the Red-Scaled brought out were truly carefully selected.

Urgent to what others need.

Good snake!

Not only dragging on for five more days, but the treasure fish and treasure plants were more than he could eat!

Awesome!

Shangrao Port.

The boat docked, Liang Qu took off his bamboo hat, and saw Li Libo drinking tea and resting in the tea shop at a glance.

Li Libo also saw Liang Qu, spat out the tea leaves, and waved.

"Brother Shui! The master at the River Patrol Office is looking for you. I went to your house and heard from Chen Xiu that you went out onto the Great Lake, so I hurried here to wait. Hurry and go to the government office!"

Liang Qu tied the boat rope and stepped ashore: "Any word?"

"Don't know, no one told me. I think it's quite serious, many river officials all came out to call people, saying they are preparing to welcome some big shot. Could it be some big shot like a Patrol Inspector from above?"

The Patrol Inspector is living in my house...

Liang Qu roughly guessed who was coming.

"Okay, I know!" ===== CHAPTER 494 =====
