Chapter 662: Coming Aggressively

Late at night.

In the canal from the imperial capital to the Huai River.

The last vortex waterway was built, rolling up mud and sand.

Waiting for the water beasts to emerge one by one, Liang Qu closed the waterway, lay on the big head of the fat catfish, panting heavily, his eyelids heavy.

Tired.

Really tired.

When he came, he sat on the altar, and Mr. Mo was on the boat, so he had no time to go into the water to build the vortex waterway.

Now, after spending several days, intermittently, he finally used the 【Water Travel a Thousand Li】 divine ability to jump back and forth, laying the vortex waterway outside the imperial capital.

Although 【Water Travel a Thousand Li】 did not consume physical strength, it consumed mental strength. Using it too much made him sleepy, and being sleepy made his head ache when using it again.

However, it was much better than when he first obtained the divine ability.

The improvement of the river favor degree indirectly weakened the burden of Liang Qu using the divine ability.

"The world is big, coming from the south and going to the north!"

Liang Qu was tired but excited.

He didn't dare to lay the passage directly into Jishuitan in the imperial capital, fearing it would be discovered. On the surface, Southern Zhili still had two Martial Saints guarding it, and there was definitely more than one Wu Sheng in the imperial capital, but the outskirts of the imperial capital and the Jianghuai Great Marsh had been connected!

"Should I tell the higher-ups?"

Liang Qu pondered.

Now that he was in the imperial capital, the opportunity was rare.

The White Ape would not show up for now, just reveal the waterway a little bit.

As of now, the Emperor didn't seem like the type to be ungrateful.

He entered Hunting Tiger from Wolf Smoke, sat on the altar once, eight portions of Grandmaster remnants, plus countless treasures, a hereditary and permanent title...

Thought about it.

Observe more, study more.

If the vortex waterway could be improved, weakening the threat and increasing benefits while reducing disadvantages, that would be even better.

"Send the boat first."

The New Year was approaching, and the Great Beaver's second boat model was completely built.

Exchange for two treasure fish to eat.

Last year Liang Qu wanted to exchange, but who knew the Frog tribe was also celebrating the festival, and all the good treasure fish were sent away by the Frog King. This year he had to be early.

One back and forth.

Sizzle!

Charcoal fire was burning, water vapor evaporated.

The river was full of orange light, under the parasol tree, the fish skin was licked by the flame, shrinking and curling.

Tatta sprinkled seasoning and green onions, skillfully flipping the side, and the charred fragrance overflowed.

The beasts shared the internal organs and fish bones.

【Water Marsh Essence+】

【Water Marsh Essence: 126,000】

Two high-quality treasure fish entered their stomachs.

The blue tide surged in the tripod.

Recently, eating at banquets was not for nothing, there were more than five thousand in total, plus the Emperor's fish meat hot pot, the Water Marsh Essence soared back to the number of one hundred thousand!

Let Tatta go into the water to catch two good fish, just clamped into the wire mesh.

As expected.

"I say, why are you secretly eating alone in the middle of the night!"

Xu Zishuai walked out of the room sniffing the smell, seeing the scattered fish bones, and then seeing the fat catfish swinging its whiskers in the water.

"Why is Afei here too?"

"Swam over with the boat."

Xu Zishuai took the porcelain plate handed by Tatta, showing suspicion.

"Is there? Why don't I remember?"

"Mixed in with the river dolphins, you didn't notice."

Tatta's skills were superb.

A moment's work.

Everyone in the courtyard was awakened by the smell of grilled fish, moving stools to sit by the water for a midnight snack.

Under the parasol tree, sparks flew high.

Tatta didn't know which restaurant he learned it from, wearing a small hat, tying a small apron, clattering and sprinkling seasoning.

Long Eying and Zhuo Shaoqin sat on a long bench together, Long Yao and Long Li distributed chopsticks.

Xu Zishuai moved out two small square tables, placed them outside the courtyard, pulled out chopsticks and clamped a piece of fish belly meat, like a pair of white mist clamped in the cold wind.

"I bet, if Guan Congjian that kid was sitting here, he could eat ten by himself!"

"Hahaha."

"People have big appetites, and their martial arts are also powerful, all eaten onto their shoulders."

Just joking.

The water surface surged, and suddenly someone stepped on the water, fast as the wind, flashing under the parasol tree in the blink of an eye.

Long Binglin and Long Eying were vigilant.

Expert!

"Minister Liang?"

"You are..."

"Feather Forest Commandant, Meng Qiang!" Meng Qiang raised his hand and bowed, "I have always wanted to meet you, and even sent people to send invitations, but Minister Liang became famous throughout the world after entering the capital, with countless invitations, going out early and returning late, always hard to find an opportunity. Just now I saw Minister Liang eating fish by the river, so I rashly bothered you."

Sent me an invitation?

Liang Qu's impression was a bit shallow: "I don't know what Commandant Meng is looking for me for?"

"Can we change to another place to talk?"

Hall.

"Thank you!"

Meng Qiang took the tea, sipped it lightly.

"Northern Court envoy?" Liang Qu pondered, "Isn't our relationship with the Northern Court bad? Fighting all year round, why would there be Northern Court envoys coming for the New Year?"

Meng Qiang closed the tea lid: "Small frictions happen every few days, but as for the battle of Martial Saints, there hasn't been one in the past ten years. And because Great Shun is becoming more and more prosperous, the relationship between each other is not the same as when the country was founded. There have long been trade exchanges, but we snatched the Flowing Gold Sea, and the other side has never been able to swallow this breath. Both sides often have disgusting acts, and this year is probably the same."

"Where did Commander Meng get the news?"

"Cough, Minister Liang, don't ask about this, I have my own way."

Liang Qu didn't care too much. Many sources of news couldn't be asked, as it was easy to commit taboos.

The matter Meng Qiang said was not complicated.

The Northern Court had a tribe, and this summer, a genius also broke through Hunting Tiger at the age of less than twenty.

Not to mention, the Northern Court was indeed a powerful opponent.

If the world was divided by nine, Great Shun occupied four, the Northern Court had three, and the Southern Frontier had two.

It's just that the Northern Court's "three" was relatively barren.

Therefore, Great Shun could hold both the north and south ends at the same time, open its mouth to bite off the Flowing Gold Sea, and occasionally reach out to explore the sea.

This year, celebrating the New Year, ten thousand countries came to congratulate, and the Northern Court also sent envoys.

Unfortunately, the visitors were not kind.

The envoy arranged nine young talents from the tribe, wanting to compare the martial arts level of the younger generation of both sides.

This move was quite like when Pingyang Town became Pingyang County, and foreign martial artists ran over to exchange pointers.

Won.

Own morale soared, many benefits would come by themselves, and many alliances would be formed without being formed.

Lost...

The loss was not big.

Barefoot people are not afraid of people wearing shoes.

Originally, it was not as strong as Great Shun.

And the time node chosen by the Northern Court was quite interesting.

Meng Qiang said sternly: "Ten thousand countries come to court, just for the opportunity to promote, and after the New Year, the imperial court will prepare for the Martial Examination and Imperial Examination. Many people are on the road, full of blood.

If we lose, or even win with difficulty, it will undoubtedly be a cold water on our heads, which is a great blow to morale. The Northern Court might take this opportunity to invade the south!

According to what I know, the Northern Court has had heavy snow for three consecutive winters, freezing countless cattle and sheep to death. Perhaps they also want to take this opportunity to open a breakthrough as soon as possible and ride south!"

Liang Qu frowned.

Border peace, people's life and death, the pressure was quite big.

The other party was coming aggressively, needless to say, the one who broke through was hidden in the team.

That's right.

The Northern Court brought its own genius, the Wu Sheng seed, directly to the imperial capital!

Not afraid of assassination at all.

It's not that they have enough confidence, with a Wu Sheng escorting them.

Great Shun's strength is recognized by the world, and I sent a genius to die on your territory.

It is Great Shun that loses face.

You did it, which just shows you are guilty and afraid.

You didn't do it, you are really weak, the envoy of another country was assassinated in the imperial capital?

Dying in a muddled way is even worse, both sides are stained.

Even if they died, the Northern Court could take this opportunity to ask Great Shun for compensation before the war started.

"Commander Meng, with Great Shun's size, it shouldn't be difficult to win the competition, right? Why are you looking for me tonight?"

"It's not difficult, but who wins, who wins beautifully, and who gets the final merit has a say!"

Meng Qiang opened his five fingers, closed them one by one from the little finger, and made a fist.

"To tell you the truth, I have already made arrangements in secret, specially changed shifts with my colleagues. When the New Year comes, the Tianchen Hall will be full of selected Heavenly Feather Guard experts.

When the other side jumps, we don't need to look for extra people. Above the great hall, beneath the jade steps, we can take them down, and the matter will be handled beautifully."
