Chapter 613: Official Business Trip

The water mass dissipated.

A foul stench lingered.

"Whoa~"

Liang Qu leaned back, and the Dragon Ladies held their breath.

The white mass wrapped around them again, and the five of them flashed hundreds of feet away, taking in the scene before them.

Green water and yellow mud were mixed, scattering and floating.

Dense broken algae floated on the water surface, attracting countless small fish to scramble for food, some even turning over their white bellies and drifting.

It was a pool of sewage.

Just how dirty was the old turtle?

Hundreds of years of accumulated grime?

With a wave of his hand.

A water tornado appeared, wrapping around the filth and dragging it down, as if pulling down a heavy curtain.

Even so, the Dragon Ladies were still nowhere to be seen under the plastron, all submerged in the dense algae forest, occasionally catching glimpses of a few bright lights working hard to scrape and shovel.

It was too hard.

An hour and a half.

The algae forest had barely disappeared by one-tenth, and the cleaned turtle shell was still not white; green patches were spreading and growing, quite stubborn.

Liang Qu would even believe it if someone said it was turtle-algae symbiosis.

"Rest quickly, rest quickly!"

Liang Qu waved his hand.

Long Pingjiang and Long Pinghe shouted all around.

The Dragon Ladies, who had been busy for more than an hour, were able to catch their breath and crawl out of the algae forest.

The other Dragon Ladies, who were standing on their four limbs and hitting rocks with hammers, looked at the water surface and didn't want to go into the water at all, even though the water environment had been cleaned up by Liang Qu.

Only the one washing the golden-haired monkey was slightly better, just with a few more lice.

Frog Mobile Corps Commander put down the big anchor.

General Yuan opened his eyes in dissatisfaction.

"Kid, I paid! It hasn't been two hours yet!"

"For every hour, there should be a quarter-hour of rest time. For two hours, there should be three-quarters of an hour. Did you rest in the last hour?"

Long Pingjiang shook his head: "No."

"There, it's over."

"What kind of bullshit rule is that?"

"Humanistic care." Liang Qu added, "The environment for working for you is too harsh; it's not bad that I didn't add two quarter-hours."

The big turtle was furious.

After the anger.

"Add another hour!"

After several dealings, arguing was useless.

The big turtle took out money and smashed it in his face.

For hundreds of years, without deliberately collecting, it still had quite a lot of gold and silver savings; it could afford it!

Unexpectedly, Liang Qu shook his head again and spread his five fingers: "At most two hours a day, at most seven hours in seven days. If it exceeds that, you have to pay overtime fees, five taels for every extra hour. If you don't add it, today's work is done."

Long Yao and Long Li widened their eyes.

This is the head of the Peng Ze demons.

The Elder is so majestic outside!

Frog Mobile Corps Commander shouted: "Are you adding it or not?"

The big turtle gritted its teeth.

"Not adding!"

Living for hundreds of years, a mere seven days passes in a flash.

It could afford to wait!

Wash again tomorrow!

"Good, that's it for today. Oh, right." Liang Qu turned his head, "Old Yuan, do you drink lotus seed wine?"

"Don't drink!"

The big turtle refused decisively.

There must be a ghost.

"Pressed by Dragon Ladies."

"How much?"

"You'll see."

Long Binglin was thoughtful.

Turtle's.

Just said there was a ghost!

General Yuan's claws were itching.

"My lord, overtime fee."

Long Pinghe handed over the cloth bag.

Comparing it with the previous weight, it was almost equal. Liang Qu let the two of them distribute the money to the Dragon Ladies.

Excluding the old toad, the Dragon Ladies'.

A total of 258 taels were obtained.

Two hours, four hours, earning over 200 taels, the profit was very high, but what Liang Qu valued was actually not this 200-plus taels.

On one hand, fifteen taels for one hour, seventeen taels for the second hour, an average of sixteen taels an hour. Just removing dirt and cleaning is indeed a good job. As the Fourth Elder of the Long Ren clan, he should seek welfare for his clansmen.

On the other hand, Liang Qu didn't want to break this line with General Yuan.

If he had just left the day before yesterday, it would be difficult for the man and the turtle to have a reasonable intersection in the future.

How to cooperate with the seasonal long qi in the Ze Ding, he still had no clue.

Coming once every three days, maybe one day it will suddenly combine into four.

The first order ended perfectly.

Liang Qu took the Long Ren and Frog Mobile Corps Commander back to the vortex waterway entrance and gave the Long Ren brothers a few instructions.

The Dragon Ladies, the Long Ren brothers, and Frog Mobile Corps Commander returned to the Jianghuai Great Marsh.

The five of them returned to the Xu family.

The sky was full of stars.

Liang Qu thought for a moment, didn't disturb his master's wife, and returned to his room to practice.

Jiaoren tribe.

Quan Linghan stayed in the tent and discussed with the clansmen for a long time.

The sky was dawning.

The relocation order left the tent.

There were wails in the tribe, and many Jiaoren protested, until they heard the explanation from the patrolling Jiaoren that this relocation was not to take refuge elsewhere in Peng Ze, but to go to the Jianghuai Great Marsh, and cheers erupted in the settlement.

The older ones revealed anxiety, and the younger ones were full of enthusiasm.

From Liang Qu's appearance to today's decision, in just five or six days, he had to do something that would affect the tribe for decades...

"Mistake..."

Too fast.

Quan Linghan still felt the decision was too hasty.

From beginning to end, the Long Ren appeared, the clansmen were dissatisfied, Quan Guangqin and Quan Yuxuan persuaded, and he felt like he was being pushed, unable to control himself.

"Hope there won't be a mistake."

New changes.

New Great Marsh.

Whether to reproduce the glory of the Dragon Lord when he was alive, or to fall into the tricks of a villain, all depends on the next few years.

The blue waves rippled.

The Dragon Ladies returned safely to the Long Ren territory.

The Long Ren brothers went ashore and went to the government office of the River-Lake Office.

In the morning, the mist was hazy, and the giants walked. The people returning by boat on the shore were not surprised and rowed their oars.

A bold fisherman waved to say hello.

At first, the appearance of the Long Ren was indeed scary, as they were too big and walked like small mountains, but after a long time, it was just like that.

If you really want to talk about it, they are even better than other officials; they give as much as they should for meals and never talk much.

They are even more handsome. If they weren't too inhuman in size, I don't know how many women would admire them.

Third floor of the government office.

The Long Ren brothers respectfully reported their duties.

"Is this true?" Xu Yuelong was overjoyed, "Chieftain Quan agreed to relocate the whole tribe?"

"Absolutely true, Chieftain Quan said it himself."

"Where is Chieftain Quan? Take me to see him!"

Long Pingjiang's expression didn't change: "Chieftain Quan is decisive and has already returned to his home along the Jianghuai to organize the clansmen to go east. At the same time, he is also preparing materials for building the island. These twenty Jiaoren tears are the token."

Xu Yuelong took the cloth bag, confirmed they were genuine, and completely believed it.

Twenty Jiaoren tears are worth more than tens of thousands of taels; the cost of using them to deceive people is too high.

"Sixty years ago, the Jianghuai water battle left the Jianghuai Great Marsh in ruins; the Dragon Lord disappeared, and the Flood Dragon took over the Long Gong, causing the hundred clans to wither, which led to the almost complete severance of the Jianghuai Great Marsh trade route. Summer Long Ren, winter Jiaoren, although the number is small, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. If this matter is truly accomplished, both of you have great merit! It is the first great merit obtained by the Long Ren clan!"

"Don't dare to accept, it's all Lord Liang's merit."

"Haha, I know you have a good relationship, I won't forget Ashui's first merit." Xu Yuelong took out letter paper and licked the ink to write, "The matter of merit will be discussed after people return. For the Huangzhou trip, I will write a letter first, and consider it an official business trip! You take it to the post station for me, consider it an urgent letter."

"Thank you, Commandant!"

The Long Ren took the letter and left.

Xu Yuelong happily opened the window and leaned on the railing to watch the tide.

The thick, cold water vapor was sucked into his lungs, turned into cold mist after a circle, and he felt refreshed.

This dynasty made its fortune relying on the Jianghuai Great Marsh.

Long Ren and Jiaoren exchanged what they had, and the three clans were close. In a trance, that scene of vitality and competition was still before his eyes.

What a pity...

Xu Yuelong looked far away, hoping to see the legendary Jianghuai Long Gong.

Rumor has it that there are hundred-foot fire trees and silver flowers, lotus leaves reaching the sky swaying, and Dragon Ladies as beautiful as immortals shuttling back and forth.

Now it is occupied by a group of cold snakes; I'm afraid even the white jade floor will be scratched by scales.

Since September, Great Spirit Monsters have appeared frequently on the river.

In mid-October, a water demon appeared in Jiangling County, and Su Guishan personally captured it alive to interrogate for information.

The Flood Dragon is looking for the White Ape.

A struggle for the throne...

"I wonder what will happen if the White Ape moves into the Long Gong?" ===== CHAPTER 614 =====
