Chapter 527
Toad cave.
Blue animal skin was spread out, releasing coolness.
A large group of toads squatted in rows, frog heads moving, quacking messily.
The Fat Catfish poked its head and looked around, unable to see clearly, flicked its tail, and squeezed out from between the waists and abdomens of two big frogs, swimming to the front row.
Seeing it was the naturally disabled Wu Zu Frog, the Frog Mobile Corps Commander scratched its belly, hugged the anchor pole tightly, and ignored it.
"The worm tribe wants to cede land and catch monkeys?"
"Does the worm tribe still have territory in the east? Didn't it all be given to the Iron-Headed Fish?"
"It's said that a portion was left."
"What does the Bai Yuan look like?"
"Stupid frog, the Bai Yuan naturally looks like a Bai Yuan."
"You're the stupid frog! What if there are many White Apes in the Great Marsh?"
Two big frogs quarreled messily, a few words of bickering, pinching each other's necks, rolling on the ground.
"Great King, Great King, should we go look for that Bai Yuan?"
The Frog Mobile Corps Commander avoided the two fighting frogs, raised its webbed claws to press down the smoke and dust.
Before the Great King could respond, the old toad jumped high, grabbed the Frog Mobile Corps Commander's chin skin with its webbed claws, dragged it violently, pulled it to its eyes, and its frog eyes were full of hatred for the iron not becoming steel.
"Stupid! A loss-making fish deal—do you do it?"
The Frog Mobile Corps Commander was grabbed by the chin skin, lay on the ground, and shook its head in a panic: "Don't do it, don't do it, but, such a large piece of land..."
"Quack, the frog understands!" Da Pang hit his palm with his fist, attracting the attention of all the frogs. "The Elder means, the Bai Yuan is more valuable than the land!"
The Frog Mobile Corps Commander pondered slightly, and its frog eyes shone brightly.
The old toad gave Da Pang an approving look, let go of the Frog Mobile Corps Commander, carried its webbed claws on its back, and paced in front of all the frogs.
"There is profit to be made! Only then will the worm tribe do the land-selling deal. If we let it make money, wouldn't the Frog tribe lose out?"
"Mind your own business." Yang Yang Dongxiong retorted irritably, "After returning from military service in the past, I had a few left in reserve. Two years ago, when resisting the Ghost Mother Sect, the Imperial Court recorded one merit for me. Last year, when participating in dealing with a Ghost Mother Sect Grandmaster, I got four."
"Elder is wise!"
The Frog Mobile Corps Commander prostrated itself.
The old toad raised its frog head high: "We Frog tribe must not be limited to the gains and losses of one corner or one place, but must focus on the entire Great Marsh! And even beyond the Great Marsh!"
"It appeared, the Elder's shocking wisdom quack!"
"With the Elder's leadership, and the Great King's bravery, why should the Frog tribe not flourish!"
"The worm tribe can't make money, the Frog tribe makes a big profit, the long and short grow and decline, clawing the worm tribe, anchoring the iron head, the Huaijiang Great Marsh, all in our pockets! Frog life, easy as turning over a hand!" Er Pang flicked his webbed claws.
"Prospering day by day!"
The Frog Mobile Corps Commander raised the large anchor high, and in an instant, there was a mountain-shaking roar.
The Fat Catfish mixed among them, wound and pulled water algae, and cheered and flicked.
The toad rubbed the blue animal skin, slid down halfway, and its frog eyes stared at the cave roof.
The Elder's analysis must not be listened to, but the result given must be carefully considered.
It had never seen a Bai Yuan, only Liang Qu.
Is Liang Qu a Bai Yuan?
How can a demon turn into a human?
The toad pondered.
The sails bulged, the ship's belly hit the big waves, and white foam rolled to both sides.
One couldn't rule out spies from the Northern Court, evil masters from the Southern Frontier, or thieves from overseas taking action.
"The one who captures the ape is the small pillar of the Huaijiang? And another piece of territory will be ceded in the east?"
What a big hand!
The four major tribes, with many vassals, were like the small tribute countries around the Great Shun.
In the May strange phenomenon battle, he had seen the Lantern Fish tribe and the Puffer Fish tribe clinging to the Iron-Headed Fish...
Obviously, compared to shouting slogans last time, the Jiaolong had brought out tangible benefits this time, and they were heavy benefits, swearing to mobilize all the small and medium tribes in the Huaijiang Great Marsh to find the Bai Yuan's tracks!
"Lord Liang, the iced mung bean soup is ready."
A military man greeted him from the stern.
Liang Qu pulled with his large arm and landed on the deck in a flash.
A bowl of cold soup went down, his whole body's pores contracted, and a little melancholy was released.
Looking at the Great Marsh, his heart and chest broadened.
It doesn't matter.
Those who know the inside story either won't say it or can't say it.
Even if the Jiaolong turns the Great Marsh upside down, it still won't find a single ape hair!
As for himself...
The Ghost Mother Sect is restless, and the Dragon Lord has been missing for nearly two sixty-year cycles.
At this time of wind and rain, the Great Shun has gradually attached importance to the Huaijiang Great Marsh that it once relied on to start its business, frequently transferring personnel to maintain stability.
Whether it is establishing Pingyang Prefecture or enfeoffing the Martial Saint in Ningjiang Prefecture, or building the Grand Canal, all are targeted measures.
There is no reason not to borrow strength to hit strength.
"Found the fish tracks! It looks like Pearl Fish!"
"Pearl Fish? White Pearl, Silver Pearl?"
"It should be Silver Pearl!"
"Quick, quick, cast the net, cast the net!"
"Careful, there's another spirit monster!"
"I'll come!"
Liang Qu pulled out an arrow, drew his bow, and in an instant, a silent cold light pierced the sky.
Pfft.
Fresh blood sprayed and surged.
The spirit monster that pierced the front and back of the skull fell to the bottom of the water.
"A wolf fish, fish it up, add a meal for the brothers today!"
"Good!"
"Lord Liang is mighty!"
Deep in the Huaijiang Great Marsh.
The River Patrol Office fishing fleet had a bumper harvest, and the Dragon Palace central court was full of sorrow.
The green snake flicked its tongue: "You say, Chi Lin and the others were caught by the human Martial Saint?"
The snake demon crawled on the ground, trembling with fear.
"In reply to Lord Lin, the small one found news in Pingyang Prefecture. To check the truth, I went all the way south to Ningjiang Prefecture, searched for several days, and finally found the Martial Saint's carriage in a port.
It should have been docked for several days. There were only servants cleaning and sweeping on the boat. I didn't dare to get close at the time, just watched from afar for a few glances.
In the port, Chi Lin and the four of them all had their spines pierced by iron chains, tied to the front, and used as cattle and horses..."
"Is it really a Martial Saint?" Lord Lin didn't want to believe it.
"It's true, the human race calls him the Prince of Xu Yue."
"Prince of Xu Yue..."
Silence.
Long silence.
"Not getting close was the right thing to do."
The snake demon's tense mind relaxed slightly.
"What about the Bai Yuan?"
"It looks like... it wasn't caught."
"Do you know the reason? Which step went wrong?"
"This... I don't know either."
Three questions and three don't knows.
The snake demon trembled all over.
The only ones who experienced the whole thing were the Prince of Xu Yue, Su Guishan, Liang Qu, the snake demon, and the big spirit monsters.
A dozen big spirit monsters were beheaded, and four snake demons were detained by the Martial Saint. Not to mention going to ask questions, they couldn't even get close.
The snake demon racked its brains: "Oh, there is one! The small one found out that Chi Lin and the four snakes bumped into the Martial Saint's carriage themselves, and that's why they were detained! The villagers all say that the River God saw the Prince of Xu Yue was virtuous and specially sent an envoy to assist the Prince of Xu Yue!"
"..."
After the snake demon finished speaking, it regretted it, wishing it could use its tail to whip itself.
Why did it have to say half a sentence more? Damn River God.
A light sigh.
"Go down."
The snake demon shuddered, hurriedly said yes, rubbed the ground, and exited the main hall.
Lord Lin pondered for a moment and turned to go to the Dragon Palace.
A short quarter of an hour.
The earth shook, green scales flickered, the adult who had been sleeping for a long time raised its head, and countless snake demons swam in horror.
Shortly after.
Four big snakes rushed in four directions.
The Jiaolong summoned the four pillars again!
Cave.
The toad sat up and scratched its butt.
"So annoying."
Splash.
