Chapter 726 Three Saints

Big ship?

Raindrops fell on his shoulders, leaving small gray spots. A damp and sultry feeling rushed into his lungs. Liang Qu's heart moved slightly and he took two steps.

The flying eaves cut through the skylight. Under the lead-gray dark clouds, masts were wrapped around ropes and stood up like dense electric poles in the fields, rising with the river and stirring the mist.

Golden-feathered hawks circled in the rain, and water birds fell into the water and hid in panic.

Liang Qu was amazed.

He had never seen such thick and tall masts. Just by visual estimation, there were no less than a thousand masts, and there were countless small masts left. What a huge ocean-going fleet under the masts?

"Brother Shui! Big things!"

The green-maned horse tore through the rain curtain, the reins pulled, the horse's hooves rubbed white marks, and slid along the stone slabs, unable to stop.

Liang Qu reached out and stroked the horse's chest, exerting a little force to suppress the momentum.

"Speak slowly, what's the matter?"

Li Libo was soaked through, panting heavily, and jumped down without bothering to comfort the horse.

"Send the order to Xu Tiling, Prince Su and Prince Bohai are here, all officials of Pingyang Prefecture, go to greet them quickly! Brother Shui, change into your official uniform, go quickly!"

...

The water birds in the rain folded their wings, hid on the beams and shook their hair.

In the various government offices of Pingyang Prefecture, all officials were arranged neatly according to their positions and grades, and lowered their heads to whisper.

Liang Qu looked up.

The leading treasure ship was hundreds of meters long and extremely wide.

When it moored in front of us, it looked like the gray and white wrinkled jaws of a giant whale. Only one large ship filled the entire field of vision. With the eyesight of ordinary people, standing at the bow, it was impossible to see whether the people at the stern were men or women.

More than a hundred treasure ships lined up, adding several miles of waterfront to Pingyang Prefecture out of thin air.

How many people could live in the ship?

Hundreds of thousands?

Hundreds of thousands?

It's clearly a floating capital!

A day of eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating might block a small river...

"Why did the fleet that went to the ocean come to our Pingyang Prefecture?"

"Could it be to Jianghuai for supplies?"

"That shouldn't be the case. The fleet that went to sea always went to the imperial capital. If they need supplies, they should go to Tianjin. Besides, there are so many people on the ship. Without prior preparation, can we replenish them?"

"Sir Liang, you are from the River and Bo Office, do you know?"

"Me? I don't know!" Liang Qu shook his head and denied it. "I was on my way back to Pingyang from the imperial capital. I was injured too badly. I have been on sick leave and only recovered two days ago. I don't know what happened."

The questioning official was suspicious.

It is true that Liang Qu doesn't like to report to the government office, but is he really seriously injured?

Not to mention the rowing race two days ago, Liang Qu was seen hiking with his beautiful woman in May. He was clearly in high spirits.

Dong!

Dong!

Dong!

The big drum on the deck was beating.

Transparent ripples penetrated the sky from the top of the mast, and the clouds in the sky surged outward like waves. The dark clouds were like the ice that broke on the river surface in spring, breaking from whole to pieces, from big to small, the skylight penetrated the gap, and the clear sun spread over the river surface.

The officials stopped talking and breathed lightly.

The rain stopped.

Jianghuai Lake.

Dragon Palace.

The bright molten gold eyes opened.

The whole Dragon Palace was filled with infinite pressure, and all the swimming snakes curled up and kowtowed.

In the tension and depression, a water mass rushed to the side hall.

"Canglin, go find the King of Northern Fish!"

The northern waters.

Haifangzhu stopped and saw the blue-green snake winding over her head.

Her intuition told her that something bad was going to happen in Jianghuai.

"Ah, it's a bad year, and business is not good."

Haifangzhu held his head and stirred the treasure fish in the box with his tentacles.

Witness the snake disappear without a trace.

The stalled merchant fleet continued to move south.

Stairs were built.

Su Guishan, Xu Wenzhu, and Yang Dongxiong boarded the deck.

Wait for a while.

The high officials of Pingyang Prefecture were allowed to enter, lifted their skirts, and landed on the giant ship. Liang Qu was honored to be among them.

Deck after deck, stretching and undulating like land, with ship flags fluttering.

On the treasure ship, officials walked through the long deck and entered the room, and the door of several feet suddenly opened.

Light and shadow extended.

The room was very deep, dozens of meters from front to back, with a staircase every ten steps. Going up the steps, there were nine animal lanterns on the left and right of the road, the candlelight was bright, the waxed wooden boards were shimmering, the vermilion carpet was spread down, and the golden dragon was winding into the sky.

Liang Qu raised his eyes slightly and found that the King of Yue, who should have been in Ningjiang Prefecture, was also in the upper right, and there were two other big figures beside him that he didn't know.

One of them was of extraordinary status and sat in the middle.

At first glance, he is an old man with gray hair and beard, but his face is not old, his eyebrows are straight, and the wind of solemnity and majesty blows on his face.

No need to think too much.

Prince Su!

Prince Su and Prince Bohai are the chief and deputy commanders of the fleet going to the ocean.

Among them, Prince Su is the strongest. According to Xu Wenzhu, he is the peak martial saint!

The real direct descendant of Nanzhili.

He fought in the Liujin Sea Battle and worked as a martial saint in the previous dynasty. It is said that according to the genealogy, he has the blood of the Dashun royal family. Although several famous battles were not one-on-one, he did have the lives of martial saints on his hands, and his merits and reputation were high.

In comparison, Prince Bohai is fair and handsome, and looks a little younger than Prince Yue.

It’s just that when you reach the master level, your appearance often does not reflect your real age, but only represents your personal habits.

In the hall, except for the three martial saints who are seated in the highest level in the shape of "品".

There are more than ten seats on the second and third levels, and each of them is extraordinary.

All masters?

Liang Qu saw his master, Su Guishan, and Xu Wenzhu, all three of them sitting on the third level.

The imperial court paid great attention to overseas countries.

Now a whole team of people are being pulled out, and the leader of an ordinary small country is afraid that he will urinate just hearing about it without seeing him.

separated by three levels.

The officials were on the fourth level, bowing to the Three Saints who were more than ten meters away.

"Wei Lin, come forward." A certain grandmaster from the second level waved.

Wei Lin took two steps and stood behind him.

"Yue Long."

"Liang Qu."

Xu Wenzhu and Yang Dongxiong shouted one sentence each.

Liang Qu had never eaten pork, but he had just seen pigs running. Seeing this, he immediately followed Xu Yuelong and stood behind Yang Dongxiong, acting as a backdrop.

Officials are all envious.

Having a good background can save you ten years of detours.

"You want to see me?"

Liang Qu guessed.

It's not narcissistic. There are many eyes on them, especially from behind. Even if there are masters they know, this move seems inexplicable. Should Wei Lin and Xu Yuelong be a cover?

After the ceremony.

When King Su opened his mouth, he did not mention anything about the dragon. He only said that he came for sea trade.

Jian Zhongyi "suddenly realized", took the boathouse key from King Su, bowed and said that he would take care of everything.

The remaining officials all expressed their opinions.

After a few words, the three saints and the masters left one after another, leaving only a few great martial arts masters responsible for coordinating and guiding the way, most of them with the intention of acting vigorously and resolutely.

The rafters at the top rot first.

There must be a reason why King Su didn't say anything. It was about Wu Sheng. Liang Qu was determined not to be the one who stood out. He pretended not to know anything and quietly blended into the team and went to work.

Busy till noon for dinner.

Liang Qufang was summoned by the King of Yue and boarded the outer ship. He raised his hand and received a precious jade.

The soft light flows, and the white jade is flawless.

Hey.

Jade card!

"Thank you teacher!"

Having written a letter two months ago, Liang Qu thought that the King of Yue would not give it to him.

"Don't rely too much." King Yue said, "If a gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall, the master will react faster than you can count. You are lucky this time. If you encounter the same method next time, you may be able to use it before you use it." His head fell to the ground."
