Chapter 968: Seas Change into Mulberry Fields

~10 min read 1,840 words

The treasure boat went east.

The small boat went west.

"Eat!"

"From May to June, from east to west, no heat, but cold, strange thing." Fan Zixuan jumped down from the mast and took the chopsticks.

"The further west you go, the more it is like this. Yesterday I found a foot shop to eat, and I couldn't understand what was ordered. No one spoke the official language,

and even if they could speak, they couldn't speak clearly." Unlike Cha Qing swallowed the mixed noodles in big mouthfuls.

"Don't know when Liang Lord will come."

"We will arrive in July or August, take root for two months, calculate the days, no matter what, it will be late autumn."

"Listening to the three of you, could it be that you are from Nanzhili? Looking at your speech and actions, are you officials? Where are you going?"

The stinking smell came with the wind.

Kou Zhuang could see the lice in the hair. He wanted the other party to leave, but was stopped by Unlike Cha Qing's eyes, so he didn't pay attention anymore and kept silent. Along the way, there were always opportunists coming to chat. No need to deal with them, no need to be polite,

just shut your mouth and cover your wallet.

Seeing no one paid attention, the man left.

"Da Zhuang, when you are away from home, no matter what others say, good or bad, don't pay attention." Unlike Cha Qing warned, "If you answer, you've fallen into the trap."

Kou Zhuang didn't ask what trap, nodded seriously: "Understood."

Fine rain drifted.

The grass carp struggled and flicked its tail. Occasionally, when the rainwater was full, it would jump with all its might, jump out of the fish basket, scrape the stone slab in pursuit of freedom, causing the clerk in the fish fence to open the door to chase.

"Starting from July 9th, curfew will be implemented, from the seventh quarter of the You hour to the seventh quarter of the Yin hour, for a period of one month—"

The official used a hair brush to brush paste on the wall, and suddenly felt his soles go numb.

He looked sideways.

Plop!

The hair brush hit the paste bucket.

Rumble!

"Hang hang hang, charge charge charge! Smash it, smash it! Smash everything, look at my invincible thunderbolt big whirlwind!"

The wild boar carried the hedgehog and the bat, running happily on the dirt road, hitting the fine rain into water mist.

Horses and carriages were frightened, fleeing in panic. In Datong Prefecture, the sky was clear, but in Pingyang Prefecture, June was the plum rain season. It rained nine out of ten days. Leaving the town, there were mud pits everywhere. If you smashed a hoof down, the mud would splash half a zhang high.

"Damn it, where did these mountain wild demons come from, daring to run wild in Pingyang!" The demon-hunting official jumped onto the eaves.

Just about to draw his sword, someone next to him stopped him: "Don't be anxious, I think it seems to have come down from Liang Langjiang's boat."

"Langjiang—Liang Qu? He's back?"

The demon-hunting official looked out, and in the rain curtain, he could vaguely see a large boat docked at the Shangrao pier, and he slapped his thigh.

"Can't be wrong, Shangrao pier is a small pier, it doesn't have such a good boat!"

"What a big rain."

The paper umbrella spun.

The Xu family landed lightly, lifted the skirt, and the rainwater hit the puddle, splashing a few mud spots on the shoe surface, turning into yellow spots.

Long Eying's white boots were also stained with a few drops.

"It is big."

Fingernails scraped the mud spots off Eying's shoe surface, Liang Qu stood up, swung his right arm, and spread his five fingers.

Xu Zishuai's pupils shrank: "Wait, A-Shui, you wouldn't—"

Before the words fell.

Liang Qu's five fingers suddenly closed, like a lotus flower closing its leaves. The square inch of heaven and earth was held in his palm. His chest was broad, his spine like a dragon, pushing the mountains and rivers, holding this foot of heaven and earth, and striking with majesty.

Transparent ripples surged, space was fiercely "pulled," and then surged out.

Whoosh!

The fist came out like a whip.

Clouds broke and the sun came out, the sky light shone!

Mi Dang.

The demon-hunting official's long sword fell, his mouth wide open.

Pingyang villagers looked out in suspicion, and the fish fence clerks looked up like gods.

Unconcealed strong declaration!

"My goodness."

Never knowing the difference between Wolf Smoke, Hunting Tiger, and Perfected Form, today they finally saw it.

The senior brothers twitched their mouths.

Liang Qu gasped for breath to slow down, then looked at the ground.

The rolling water flow wrapped in mud, split and surged to both sides, seeping into the ground and water ditches, and the black-brown ground dried into earth gray.

The Xu family smiled and closed their umbrellas.

On the ridge, the happy wild boar scratched its head.

"Strange, where is the rain?"

"Not bad." Long Eying praised.

"Hey, any reward?"

"It was a good job, Nandi, give a reward." The Xu family spoke, and the maid Nandi on the side smiled, twisting out a silver bean.

Liang Qu held it with both hands and weighed it: "Two qian and three fen heavy, enough for a small person not to worry about life for half a month. Noble lady is generous!

What about this little lady?"

Long Eying kissed him.

Everyone booed.

"Go, go, boring."

"Zishuai, Hu Qi, Changsong, put things away, go to the Martial Academy first to see, don't let any trouble arise."

"Understood, Master."

The springboard was built.

Chishan bit the reins. Before departure, the carriage sent by Cao Shixiong Lu already had a complete carriage body, and everything was moved up.

"Congjian!"

"Secretary."

"If you have nothing to do, don't rush home. Go to the Demon-Hunting Division to register the golden hair and the others, hang a sign, and tell your colleagues early, don't let anything happen and hurt the harmony."

"Okay."

"Master Huai Kong, you go home with me first."

"Understood."

"Jin Mao!"

"Ninth Buddha."

"Don't call me Ninth Buddha. From now on, on this one-acre-three-fen land, you call me Brother Water. Look, see that mountain head? There is a pagoda on it, five stories and eight sides."

"Saw it."

"Pingyang Mountain in Pingyang Prefecture, that's the Kui Pavilion in the Confucian Temple on the mountain. It should have been converted into a temple. Outside the temple, it's all your tiger's mountain head. Take advantage of the sunny weather, go pick a place to live yourself, let A-Zhu go open caves and roads. If you have that much strength, don't be idle, building roads is also good."

"Understood."

Everything was arranged. Everyone, the senior brothers, the Xu family, and Yang Dongxiong all looked at Yang Xu, who was testifying to the gods.

Xu Zishuai asked: "Cao Shixiong, what about you? Go back after seeing the treasure fish? Or stay for a while?"

"Stay for a while."

Yang Xu was extremely emotional.

Things are different, people have changed.

It was even a bit "seas change into mulberry fields."

There were few days to visit relatives in the army, three years for a small holiday, five years for a big holiday. It was just that he went to Huangzhou last time and didn't come to Pingyang. Now it was the first time to witness the "huge change" mentioned in his parents' letters.

Yixing was adjacent to Pingyang Prefecture. It was just a small fish market in the past, surrounded by reeds and weeds, barely a thousand people, a single small dirt road to the town. Now it was simply prosperous beyond belief. The streets were paved with bluestone, enough for three carriages to drive side by side.

A rough sweep, at least tens of thousands of people gathered.

A small village was like this, what about Pingyang Prefecture?

Was this still the place where he grew up as a child?

"Stay for a while, should go to the Mermaid Island to see the cloth shadows! See if there are any new films?"

"Right!"

"And the water stage."

One strange term after another popped out. Yang Xu didn't know what these things were at all, but he just nodded along with the excitement of his junior brothers and sisters.

Hometown is good.

"Cao Shixiong." Liang Qu spoke, "Do you want to take this opportunity to come back? Come to Pingyang Prefecture, River Po Office, Demon-Hunting Division, Three Dharma Divisions, including the Prefecture Office, wherever you want to go, I can arrange it all. Just say a word, it's a matter of one sentence.

Even the surrounding areas are not impossible.

After Chizhou, Ningjiang Prefecture is also good. The King of Yue is there. I am the registered disciple of the King of Yue, and also the teacher of the Grandson. The previous Lanzhou has also been merged into Pingyang, and it is short of manpower. Your guards are the same. After developing for so long, it's a pity not to bring them along."

The Xu family's eyes were bright.

Yang Dongxiong didn't speak either.

Liang Qu's connections now far exceeded his, exceeding his half-life of fighting in the Western Army.

Yang Xu didn't dare to look into the Xu family's eyes, for fear that if he looked, his heart would soften and he would change his mind. He pressed Liang Qu's shoulder,

squeezed his palm again and again, and shook his head.

"I know Liang Shidi has ability, the number one young Grandmaster in the world, everyone has to give face when they see him. This trip, Cao Shixiong only asked for three months of leave, and should leave at the end of June."

"Ride my Chishan, leave in July, Cao Shixiong's horse will be transported separately."

"Good!"

"Fine, fine, obviously a happy thing, haven't left yet, first sad, wasting my mood." Xu Zishuai urged, "A-Shui, go check in, handle the official business, Cao Shixiong, come with us! I'll treat you tonight! I'll arrange it!"

"Yo, that's really not easy."

Horses and carriages galloped, full of laughter.

The dust of the journey was all shaken off in the smiles.

Upon arriving home, Long Eying hadn't packed her luggage yet, and Liang Qu stepped into the house.

"Not going to the River Po Office to check in, why come back so early?"

"No one, all went to Lanzhou, don't know when they will be back. Just right, I'll have A-Fei and the others rush back, handle the cultivation matter first."

Long Eying understood and took out the array materials from the carriage. ===== CHAPTER 969 =====

"No one's here; they've all gone to Lanzhou and I don't know when they'll be back. Perfect. I'll have A-Fei and the others rush back so we can get the cultivation matter done first."

Long Eying understood immediately and took out the formation materials from the carriage.
