Chapter 981: Dragon Scale Armor

Below the fifth rank, execute first and report later!

King bomb!

Liang Qu's heart jumped wildly.

The surprise of Pingyang changing to Huai-East was washed away completely.

Except for special places, ordinary county magistrates are only seventh rank!

Higher-level prefectures, except for the Prefect, are basically all included in this range!

Great degree of freedom!

Liang Qu rubbed his hands excitedly: "Uncle, is this Mysterious Armor Face really for me?"

"Am I joking with you, kid? The border of the Snow Mountain is chaotic. It will be much more convenient to take this Mysterious Armor Face." Su Guishan smiled lightly, then straightened his face to warn, "Execute first and report later, the key lies in reporting after executing. It is not a token for acting recklessly.

And it is limited to local officials on both sides of the Huai River. You cannot extend it privately. If it is found to be for private gain without reason, it is a great crime! Even if the other party is truly guilty, if you kill them and cause disaster, you will also be at fault! Besides, the token cannot be lost. Losing it is also a great crime!"

"Understood, understood!"

Liang Qu considered himself a good hand at writing reports and cleaning up messes.

He reached out and picked up the Mysterious Armor Face. The mask was pure black and not flat. The mask was covered with fine, dense things like hexagonal scales. Injecting internal Qi, the scales opened and closed, driving the entire mask to undergo slight deformation.

Worthy of being a spiritual artifact, it can fit the individual's face!

At the same time.

He was also curious about what the Purple Lightning Boat and the Gray Turtle Seal were for.

"Holding the Gray Turtle Seal, you can approve the mining of underwater mineral veins and build river-suppressing towers."

"Purple Lightning Official Boat, can mobilize one first-rank Dragon Blood Horse, three second-rank ones—"

"Only Dragon Blood Horses?"

Liang Qu felt this Purple Lightning Boat was a bit underwhelming after hearing it.

Su Guishan shook his head: "Remember the Divine Ability Token? The Purple Lightning Boat was not built before. By my guess, it should be able to use some divine ability secret technique on the boat to reach the upper hearing directly, strengthening the connection between the two places."

Could it be real-time communication?

Liang Qu guessed secretly.

If it is truly so...

Incredible.

Incredible!

The two capitals are probably completely integrated!

Local ruling power is rising sharply!

Excluding the three special spiritual artifacts, the cyan ribbon uniform, emerald wave ribbon, and silver scale waist plate all have special privileges, can mobilize fifty river workers, and can mobilize water mansion warriors. In the past year, the Imperial Court's actions were truly not small, vaguely having a sense of "technological explosion."

At the same time, the jurisdiction and power of the River Patrol Office expanded rapidly, truly showing the momentum to confront the Ghost Mother Sect!

Liang Qu had always felt that the official system of the Pingyang River Patrol Office was very "bloated," with the children of various nobles all crammed in at once, and a whole pile of them having the same rank.

Especially the sixth and seventh-rank disaster area. With overlapping powers, many were like idle positions. A seventh-rank county magistrate can govern a county. In contrast, a seventh-rank Water General only manages a few big towns and a few small market towns. Now that it is spread out, the crowding problem has disappeared directly.

It is estimated that the imperial court had long had a plan; after six or seven years of gestation, the River Patrol Office had grown to the point where mushrooms spit spores and dandelions open their umbrellas.

Wait.

Liang Qu observed the three spiritual artifacts on the table.

The River Patrol Office has five Perfected Form experts: Su, Xu, Wei, Liang, and Yang. In terms of combat power, Liang Qu feels he can probably claim first place, but in terms of official power, he only ranks in the middle. Yang Dongxiong is semi-retired, so his situation is special.

Calculating carefully, three spiritual artifacts, exactly one for Xu, Wei, and Liang.

"Uncle, do you have one too?"

Su Guishan smiled and stroked his beard: "A set of Dragon Scale Armor, mounted with a Divine Ability Token, is recast from mysterious weapon fragments. A Perfected Form wearing it can be regarded as one realm higher! Now it is coming from Southern Zhili to Pingyang Prefecture."

Liang Qu smacked his tongue.

Su Guishan is a Jiang Zongshi. Wearing the Dragon Scale Armor, wouldn't he be Heaven-Man?

How many good things are hidden in the Imperial Court?

"Wait patiently. The changes are earth-shattering. I heard that the Water River Inspector on the Sha River also received a set of Dragon Scale Armor. The imperial court's bestowals this time vaguely show a trend of demarcating by rank. The treasures do not belong to the officials themselves but are only held while in office. If I were to retire today and you were to succeed me, then the Dragon Scale Armor of this Huaidong River Patrol Office would be for you to use."

Liang Qu understood.

High-level standard-issue weapon!

Low official rank gets a small pistol, high official rank gets a submachine gun, and top-tier big officials get machine guns.

The Inspector is already Dragon Scale Armor.

What should the highest leader of the River Patrol Office, the River Platform Lord, be?

Promotion, promotion!

After becoming a Perfected Form, he earned a lot of great merits, but his rank seemed to be stuck.

"What is the third thing?"

"The third thing, your great merit for inviting the Ming King to sit in Pingyang has been approved. Ten. Now you have a total of sixty-three great merits."

"Only ten?"

Liang Qu was greatly disappointed.

After going through all the hardships to invite a Martial Saint to sit in town, there are only a mere ten great merits?

"It is ten for the first year. Starting from June this year, until June next year is a full year. After that, for every additional year the Ming King sits in town, you will have five great merits!"

So that's where it was waiting.

Preventing merit farming?

"Alright, the three things are finished. If you want to go to Haiyan County, go quickly."

"Yes!"

Liang Qu returned to his study, urging the Mysterious Armor Face. Black scales surged, perfectly fitting his face, adsorbing without moving, very tight, including the eye sockets, sticking to the eyelids, without any eye socket skin exposed.

But with the movement amplitude of a Perfected Form Jiang Zongshi, adsorption is far from enough when fighting. Continuing to urge, there are dragon-claw-like sharp thorns on both sides to lock the back of the head.

"Wuhu, Boss is truly handsome!" The little Mirage Dragon jumped out to praise at the first moment.

"Go! Go to control the water!"

Jumping out of the window, the Azure Dragon soared!

In Haiyan County, dark clouds rolled in the sky, and thunder flashed.

The villagers were still looting and crowding messily. The long shadow of the Azure Dragon flew through the clouds, instantly cutting through the rainwater that had submerged to the thighs. The black rain clouds and the rice seedlings in the fields were exposed, breathing freely.

"Long Wang! The Long Wang has come to control the water!"

"The seedlings are alive! The seedlings are alive!"

"Damn it, told you earlier, what are you looting for, what are you running for? The Imperial Court has been tax-free for four years. If the fields are flooded once, can anyone starve to death?"

The village elders in Haiyan County cursed, and the dark crowd scattered like birds and beasts.

Morning Dew Canyon.

"Quick, quick, quick, don't be lazy! Work hard!"

"My Lord, My Lord, what do you think?"

The fish school carried baskets on their backs, moving crushed stones out basket by basket.

The fat catfish carried its hands behind its back, patrolling the progress in the canyon. It didn't speak, only occasionally nodding. The fish monsters beside it were incomparably happy, swinging their tails, and glancing at its majestic posture again. Being able to walk together was also an honor!

Nothing else.

Beast anthropomorphism!

What kind of fish can be anthropomorphic at this stage and move without any obstruction, and go to the next level?

Children of big clans!

Only monsters in groups like Iron-Head Fish and Fish can be like this.

Is the fat catfish from some big clan?

Obviously not.

First, because it was too strong, it was excluded by small groups, and later it was taken in by the medium-sized group Porcupine. Porcupine is far from comparable to Fish, let alone Iron-Head Fish, so there is only one possibility—a genius!

This black guy is a genius!

The tragic life experience created a tenacious will and extraordinary talent.

Everyone privately gave it a nickname, called Black Whirlwind, loyal and righteous, wise and brave, it is already a red fish in the eyes of the high-level, and now it is even undertaking the development of the stronghold, becoming a hot commodity in the Great Huai Army!

Doing a good job and getting a little guidance from the Black Whirlwind big fish is also a promising future!

"Vanguard Big Fish, Vanguard Big Fish!"

The fish monster rushed over with its throat. Before the fat catfish's sidekick could shout, the spirit monster couldn't brake, its fish tail was tripped by a reef, and the fragments in its fins spilled all over the ground.

The fat catfish's eyes narrowed instantly.

It grabbed the fragments.

They were actually some white jade blocks! ===== CHAPTER 982 =====
