Chapter 756: Message in the Fish Belly

"The Sea Hai Fangzhu's younger sister, Hai Yun?"

Liang Qu frowned.

Li Shoufu nodded: "When Lord Wei asked, she said so. I heard it clearly and truly. In short, there is no shortage of goods, and the items are correct."

"Although Hai Yun is not as good as the Sea Hai Fangzhu, she is also a Jiang Zongshi-level Great Demon. Lord Wei's meaning is that we should do business as usual and interfere less in the internal affairs of the sea clan."

Strange.

Business was going well, why change the fish for no reason?

Liang Qu knew more inside information than others. The Eight-Claw King enjoying the blessings of all people always made him feel that things were not that simple. He even imagined a harem drama in his mind where the pink octopus sister relied on being favored to forcibly occupy the blue octopus sister's trade route.

Previously, the Dragon Lord disappeared, and the Jianghuai Great Ze was not valued, like scrap material. Therefore, it was the Sea Hai Fangzhu's turn. Now, with the Great Shun Imperial Court, the demand for sea goods on land had increased many times over, and the trade system was unknown.

Especially in the middle of this year, Wei Lin fulfilled his promise of twenty times the cargo volume, which probably shocked the sea clan, not to mention that Liang Qu also helped connect with General Yuan's plantation.

The originally inconspicuous scrap material had become fat meat, snatched away by the sister?

Liang Qu was worried.

Strictly speaking, he had only met the Sea Hai Fangzhu a few times, but he really felt close to her.

Others didn't have a deep relationship and felt it didn't matter if they changed a fish to do business, as long as the items arrived. But he didn't feel good in his heart, especially thinking about the possible reasons behind it.

Most importantly, it wasn't the same fish, so how to calculate the "rebate"?

If there was still one, could it be given all the time? Would the amount given be less?

The Sea Hai Fangzhu gave it every time out of gratitude, but Hai Yun was not the beneficiary...

Thinking back and forth.

"Lord Hai Yun, I wonder where the Sea Hai Fangzhu is now?"

The tide hit the shore.

Liang Qu stood in front of the pink giant octopus. Despite the similar physique, the octopus in front of him only gave him strangeness, and there was no longer that familiar cold face-sticking.

Hai Yun waved her pink tentacles, puzzled by the suddenly appearing Liang Qu. She looked him up and down, and her eyes lit up.

"Are you the Little Shui that sister mentioned?"

Hai Yun's voice was very different from the Sea Hai Fangzhu's, with a youthful and beautiful girl's feeling.

But Liang Qu was puzzled by the content of her words.

"How did you recognize me?"

"Sister said the most heroic and cute one is Little Shui!"

Heroic, cute?

Without waiting to think, the pink tentacles rolled up Liang Qu, and everything returned to the familiar rhythm.

"Why is Lord Liang so liked by the water clan?"

The clerks were puzzled when they saw this.

"Who knows, maybe the water clan looks at us like looking at cats and dogs? Lord Liang happens to look like an orange cat?"

"Strange, really strange."

"Everyone has their own opportunities. Being good-looking is a way."

After a period of intimacy.

Hai Yun put down Liang Qu and handed over a large blood lion with the same enthusiasm.

"Little Shui, for you. Sister Sea is tired and is resting at home, so she changed me to come at the end of the year. Before leaving, sister specifically instructed me to pass it to you. I haven't exchanged it with other water beasts all the way here."

Liang Qu wiped the water stains on his face, holding the blood lion in his hand, and fell into silence.

Did the idea seem to deviate?

Or was it just the disguise of the pink octopus lady?

After all, it was normal to be able to fascinate the Eight-Claw King to be "confused," believe in slander, and pretend to be harmless...

After giving the treasure fish, Hai Yun waved her tentacles and threw herself into the transaction with the same enthusiasm as the Sea Hai Fangzhu.

Pond.

The shrunken fat catfish flicked its fins and swam happily.

Yuan Tou's more than one hundred otters swam like large fish, looking like a pond of gray koi at first glance.

Liang Qu sat on the 【Vine Soldier】, silently thinking about whether there were any other hidden circumstances.

Awei sucked the fish blood dry.

Tatta Kai skillfully cut open the fish belly and reached in to dig out the internal organs.

After a while.

A claw covered in fish blood was handed to Liang Qu.

"Hmm?"

Looking closely, Liang Qu found a small slip of paper held in the claw.

"Where did it come from?"

Tatta Kai pointed to the blood lion. It was digging out the internal organs to feed Yuan Tou and Fist, not expecting to dig out a bloody slip of paper from it.

Liang Qu was startled.

Message hidden in the fish belly?

The Sea Hai Fangzhu sent him a message?

Liang Qu hurriedly washed away the blood stains on the slip of paper and unfolded it to see.

"Sea Abyss Palace, Eight-Claw King wants to eat me."

"???"

Liang Qu's heart was shocked. He looked at it repeatedly several times to confirm that he hadn't misread it, and he had seen the Sea Hai Fangzhu's map; the handwriting on the slip of paper was exactly the same!

What does it mean?

Isn't it a harem fight?

Why did it cause an octopus life?

Which group is the pink octopus lady who gave the treasure fish from?

Liang Qu's eyes flickered. He didn't quite believe that the Sea Hai Fangzhu really gave the fish and there was a slip of paper inside, and Hai Yun, who handled it, wouldn't know.

Could it be a trap?

Maybe there was never any harem fight. The Sea Hai Fangzhu had long discussed with the Dragon to lie to him on purpose since the middle of the year, or Hai Yun and the Dragon discussed that she joined forces with the Eight-Claw King to imprison the Sea Hai Fangzhu and imitate the handwriting to perform a good show, just to trick him out of Jianghuai and have no proof of death.

One must guard against fish.

Having experienced the Ghost Mother Sect Jiang Zongshi incident, Liang Qu knew deeply that there was only one life, and everything was possible...

"Time to eat!"

"Coming!"

A family of people ate heartily.

At the end, Liang Qu put down his chopsticks: "Uncle, I want to ask for leave."

"Asking for leave again?" Su Guishan was stunned. "How many days of leave do you have all year round?"

Paused.

Su Guishan narrowed his eyes: "Sea Hai Fangzhu?"

Long Eying cast her gaze over.

Liang Qu handed over the slip of paper and told the truth.

Su Guishan scanned the content of the slip of paper and put it aside: "You want to save the Sea Hai Fangzhu? That's a Demon King! Where did you get the courage?"

"How is that possible!" Liang Qu shook his head and denied. "I have a few lives, how dare I touch the tiger's whiskers of a Demon King, but if I don't go to confirm the situation, my conscience will be uneasy."

He definitely couldn't go personally.

Liang Qu planned to 【Strongly Control】 a few fish first, swim over to explore the way, and take the opportunity to listen to Su Guishan's opinion.

"Yo, really uneasy, or afraid of not being able to eat the rebate in the future?"

"Cough cough... both?"

Su Guishan sneered. He put down his chopsticks and thought for a while: "Do you have a way to find out the situation without going personally?"

"Yes!"

"Go find Mr. Lan to cast a hex for you, but if it's a small ominous sign, I can't give you leave, and General Xu must nod and agree first."

"Got it."

Lan Jicai came to Pingyang with Xu Wenzhu.

Xu Wenzhu stayed until now because Xu Yuelong was about to be promoted, and Lan Jicai naturally didn't leave.

"Don't be happy too soon. The leave will be recorded, and one month's salary will be deducted."

Liang Qu shrugged: "Nothing left to deduct, all given to Wei Lin."

"After Wei Lin deducts it, it's my turn to deduct."

Liang Qu's mouth twitched.

"Done..."

"Flat."

Lan Jicai took out the mysterious turtle shell sent by Liang Qu and verified it with his own divination.

"Neither auspicious nor ominous. You won't have any accidents on this trip, but..."

"But what?"

"What you do after you go might have a great impact."

"How so?"

Lan Jicai didn't answer, turned his head and looked at Xu Wenzhu.

Xu Wenzhu stared at the handwriting on the slip of paper, scanned Long Eying and Liang Qu, and suddenly opened his mouth: "Have you heard of a strange story?"

"What?"

"Octopuses can only mate once in their lives."

"?"

Lan Jicai scratched his head: "What's the reason?"

"I also heard it from hearsay and haven't verified it. It is said that in the sea, female octopuses are much larger than male octopuses. After finishing the matter, the male octopus will be exhausted, and the female octopus will eat it. Many male octopuses will break off directly to save their lives, but even so, the survival probability is still very small."

"Break off what?" Lan Jicai got to the bottom of it.

"What did you say?"

Lan Jicai's face tightened, and he subconsciously closed his legs.

"General Xu means..."

"An ungrounded guess. I have never been in contact with sea beasts before. I don't know if there will be any changes when an octopus becomes a Demon King. But if it really has a connection... A Shui, perhaps there is an opportunity hidden inside."

"Please give me some pointers, Uncle Xu."

"It's not a pointer, it's just that if the Eight-Claw clan really has any extraordinary skills, you try to see if you can let the Sea Hai Fangzhu replace the Eight-Claw King under the support of our dynasty!"
