The next day.

The sky was floating with purple.

The river breeze whistled outside the tent, blowing the tent surface to make a sound.

Clatter.

Water mist and hot steam steamed and evaporated under the hazy sunlight.

Long Eying wrung out a damp towel and placed it on the edge of the basin. Liang Qu rubbed it on his face and woke up completely: "No need to trouble yourself with small things, just let the soldiers outside do it, right?"

"Not troublesome, I like it."

"Should have known to bring Long Yao and Long Li, those two girls, along."

"Am I not doing as well as them?"

"Looking for trouble again."

"My lord! A letter from Commandant Xu!"

The soldier outside the camp interrupted.

Liang Qu called someone in, took the envelope, and opened the wax seal on the spot to read it.

It's not a big deal.

Work is here.

Staying on the Mu River embankment in Anhuai County for two days, the situation in Xige Prefecture was roughly figured out. Xu Yuelong gave him a new task—inspection and bandit suppression.

Surrounding prefectures continuously transported supplies, and the overall situation in Xige Prefecture was basically stable, but there were still roving bandits causing trouble.

It is not surprising that there are roving bandits in a prefecture.

The world is big, the mountains are wide and the water is deep. Hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, one cannot find anyone at all. Taking advantage of the chaos to rob two large households to make a fortune, changing one's name and surname, and starting a new life is common.

Once the situation is chaotic, the seaweed and egg drop soup that was originally at the bottom floats to the surface. In the situation where Xige Prefecture lacks manpower, there are even bold roving bandits from other places who specifically run here to "drink soup."

Inspection is to check how the disaster relief is going in various counties and towns while suppressing bandits, and whether there is any corruption.

Since it is support, it is reasonable for him, a Fifth-Rank Hengshui Commandant, to handle this matter.

It's just...

"The roving bandits in your Xige Prefecture have the strength of a Great Martial Artist? More than one? You're not mistaken, are you?" Liang Qu was surprised.

Normal roving bandits are quite remarkable if they have Wolf Smoke strength.

After all, with this strength, where can't one go to live a carefree life?

"Not mistaken." The soldier was embarrassed, "Among the roving bandits, there are demon people who collude with the Ghost Mother Sect, and there are also wanted criminals from old cases. When the Ghost Mother Sect took action, they all took advantage of the chaos and escaped. Some were caught one after another, and some hid in the mountains.

Previously, the situation was too chaotic, manpower was insufficient, and there was no time to pay attention. Moreover, Great Martial Artists are not easy to catch if they hide intentionally, and some even fled to other places. Commandant Xu asked Commandant Liang to set off as soon as possible."

"Outstanding people and land... Alright, take it back and report." Liang Qu stamped the seal, exchanged envelopes, and called out when the soldier went out, "By the way, the Three Heroes outside, have they left?"

If there are any special circumstances or special physiques, they can always be recorded for future generations, constantly repaired, perfected, and constantly innovated, optimized, and iterated. For example, the blood pass used to be dangerous, but once the Blood Coagulation Pill and Blood Exchange Pill came out, the success rate was almost 100%.

"Are the Three Heroes of Xige Prefecture very famous?"

"It is indeed so in Xige Prefecture and surrounding prefectures. My subordinates have heard of their deeds since childhood. Their combat power is extraordinary, far better than their peers. My lord, are you going to..."

"Nothing, you go out."

"Yes!"

Coming to ask for advice.

Not fresh.

Literature has poems of seeking an audience, and martial arts has advice and sparring.

Essentially the same meaning as standing at the door and inviting a battle after the martial arts examination in the Imperial Capital, it is for the sake of fame, and fame is for the sake of profit.

For martial artists.

The greater one's fame and power, the more opportunities there are, just like stars under gravity distorting space-time, naturally attracting benefits one after another. Pingyang Prefecture is Liang Qu's hometown, and there are few people who want to show off like this.

Other prefectures are different.

Facing a young genius like Liang Qu, it is not necessary to win.

Poems of seeking an audience do not need to surpass the talent of the dignitaries who seek the audience, just attracting appreciation is enough. Sparring does not necessarily have to win. Even if three against one is defeated, showing one's style is a profit.

The Three Heroes of Xige Prefecture have reached the pinnacle of Xige Prefecture, but facing Liang Qu, who stands at the pinnacle of the younger generation of the Great Shun, they are no different from young people from remote villages who stumbled into the Imperial Capital and were thirsty for a way out.

In short.

New recruits.

Silently mark the locations of several roving bandits on the letter paper on the map.

Catching roving bandits, there is no strange strategy or clever plan. The most effective way is to spread the net wide, catch fish wide, and use manpower to compress the living space of the thieves.

Liang Qu is a bit different.

"Just in time to try a new move..."

Outside the embankment camp, the thin mist was hazy.

A layer of white water mist stuck to the green leaf tips, occasionally intersecting, condensing into dew drops and dripping down.

The "Three Heroes" of Xige Prefecture were drinking millet porridge. Both men and women were not young. They looked about thirty, and their real age was at least forty. Each of them had the strength of the upper stage or even perfection of Hunting Tiger, with thick and surging breath. Even the only woman among them had an unusual physique, with a body like a strong man and a tiger's back and a bear's waist.

Four Passes and Seven Paths, cultivating blood and Qi, is actually the "essence," which does not determine the dimension of the body. Crossing Galloping Horse, women will become more temperamental and have better skin due to the uprightness of their spirit and energy.

Therefore, women who are tall and big either have special horizontal training methods or have special physiques.

"Big brother, what's the use of us just waiting here?" Jiang Jixi held a porcelain bowl, shook off the dew on the grass tips, and sat on the ground.

"Sincerity leads to spirit." Yin Yingbo said with a smile.

"What else can we do besides standing?" The only woman, Peng Chuji, drank the porridge in one gulp, picked up a piece of salty radish with chopsticks and chewed it, "Attack the County Count for no reason, and go to jail?"

First, the two people's cultivation methods have the same root and origin. Second, setting aside bone structure, the two people's talents should currently belong to the same level...

Young, the world's number one Great Martial Artist, probably has more thoughts of not looking up to them.

The three of them are twice as old, but in the eyes of the world, they are the subordinates.

Since they are subordinates, they should not overstep their bounds.

"Someone is out!"

Yin Yingbo suddenly spoke.

"Where?"

Jiang Jixi and Peng Chuji put down their bowls and chopsticks, stretched their necks and looked.

In the camp.

A man and a woman of similar stature came out together.

"Really beautiful." Peng Chuji couldn't help but praise.

The man's appearance was quite heroic, and his stature was quite divine. The key was that he had a natural and carefree taste, innate and natural, which was quite rare.

The woman was even more extraordinary, stunning, walking with light steps, floating like green duckweed on water, just like a flying fairy entering a dream!

"The Dragon Lady of Jianghuai, well-deserved reputation." Yin Yingbo's eyes narrowed slightly.

Liang Qu, who walked out of the camp, looked around and saw the three people under the tree, and asked loudly.

"The Three Heroes of Xige Prefecture?"

"Yin Yingbo/Jiang Jixi/Peng Chuji, pay respects to Count Xingyi!"

"Good name."

"Everyone lifts the flower sedan chair." Yin Yingbo bowed and acted humbly, "The name of the Three Heroes is mostly boasted by nosy people in the Jianghu, and it cannot be taken seriously."

"What I heard is not like this, the reputation is far and wide."

"Even if it is true that we are the Three Heroes of Xige Prefecture, it is far from the heroes of the Great Shun."

"Haha, interesting. I was ordered to come to Xige Prefecture for support. I didn't have time to pay attention to you, but the situation is special, so I'll give you a chance." Liang Qu held up two fingers, "Two things, get them done for me, and I'll play with you."

The eyes of the three lit up.

"Please speak, my lord!"

"I see that your three families have extraordinary family backgrounds. The first thing is to take out ten thousand stones of grain, and in the name of the River Po Office, provide disaster relief in the disaster-stricken counties of Xige Prefecture."

"No problem!" The opportunity is rare, Yin Yingbo agreed in one gulp, "I don't know the second thing..."

"The second thing, whether you catch it yourselves or send others, in short, no matter what method, catch five roving bandits above the Wolf Smoke realm, or a big bandit in the Hunting Tiger realm and bring them back to me."

"This..." Yin Yingbo thought this matter was relatively difficult to handle, "Roving bandits are hard to find, does my lord have a time limit?"

"No, when you catch them, you will fight. Even if they are not roving bandits in Xige Prefecture, as long as they are harmful, they can count."

"My lord's righteous act, no problem!"

"Well, I have something to do, I won't exchange pleasantries with you."

If you want to send a poem of seeking an audience, if you don't give the housekeeper a few taels of silver first, how can you reach the front?

Come to the door yourself, don't use it for nothing.

Liang Qu waved his arm, and a large azure dragon flew out from under his cuff, growing in the wind, circling in the sky, and crawling on the ground.

"What a high-level control of steel!"

Yin Yingbo looked at Liang Qu's superb control of the steel wind and was secretly shocked.

However, this move was not meant to be shown to the three of them.

"Go!"

Liang Qu jumped onto the dragon's head and bent down to hold Long Eying's hand.

Wow!

The Azure Dragon flapped its wings.

The long wind whistled.

The two rode the Azure Dragon together and soared straight up!

"Ling... Lingkong Xudu (Crossing the void)?"

The Three Heroes of Xige Prefecture were shocked.
