Changing the Tune and Raising the Banner!
There is no greater sorrow than silence.
The Fat Catfish bobbed up and down, drifting with the current, while the Great Beaver stepped forward, tugged at its Long Whiskers, and patted its head.
On the shore, the cocoon of light shattered, cracking into patches of flare.
The silhouettes cast shadows, obscuring the Mine Cave.
At just one and a half years old, its Fist are raised high, revealing its powerful physique, which has grown even larger.
The fur around the waist resembled a belt, and the armor on the chest was layered on top of each other.
The messy yellow and red stripes on the huge carapace have completely disappeared, returning to a deep rock color, with only a dark red ring around the edge of the carapace.
"Good!"
Liang Qu tapped the outer shell of his Fist, and a heavy, muffled sound echoed out.
Each of his Water Beast has its own unique characteristics, and when it comes to ferocity, toughness, Fist, they are undoubtedly number one!
Crab Great General!
It pounded its Fist against its pincers, crawled back and forth, its eight legs swaying and leaving afterimages, its excitement overflowing.
Back in the Mine Cave, the two pairs of powerful pincers were invincible, crushing the hard rocks like soft tofu, sending them flying into dust and debris.
Offer more Bloodstones to the gods! His Fist clenched with renewed vigor.
The Fat Catfish flicked its Long Whiskers and sighed even more.
The Great Beaver took out a chisel and an awl from its close-fitting wooden box, and banged them together, indicating that the Fat Catfish could also learn a skill from it.
Liang Qu noticed the Fat Catfish's dejected state early in the morning.
While his Fist skills are certainly impressive, how could he forget his loyal old ministers?
With no food, the Treasure Plant, and snake gallbladder, the remaining essence is at least 20,000 units. I've never fought such a rich battle before.
It was announced immediately.
"Before returning to Ping Yang County in May, everyone is free to keep all the Treasure Fish they catch! Eat them as you please! Use the snake meat at the wharf as you please. Whoever accumulates five thousand essences will be enlightened!"
When the Fist evolved, Liang Qu added more than 15,000 points, and it had about Xiao San stored up on its own, bringing the total to 18,000.
The several Water Beast ate and lived together, and their savings were almost the same. In other words, if they ate enough to earn two thousand in the remaining few days, they would be able to receive enlightenment!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The Water Beast responded enthusiastically.
The Fat Catfish was the first to leap out, its fins pointing at Round Head and its pack of finless River Dolphin. Chasing the River to catch the Treasure Fish in the river, one catfish couldn't catch ten of them! "You can eat a lot! You eat three times the amount of snake meat Round Head eats in one meal! Awei didn't say anything."
Awei stretched out his body, landed on Liang Qu's shoulder, and gently shook his head.
The Fat Catfish fell into deep thought.
Round Head Standard Actionist, having received the promise from the gods, was in high spirits and led his River Dolphin army to the Great Marsh without a word, determined to overturn the Overturning Rivers and Seas and win the first place! Fat Catfish didn't have time to think about whether it was more worthwhile to the Chasing the River to catch the Treasure Fish or to devour the strange-flavored snake meat. Seeing the River Dolphin leave, it hurriedly followed.
The tide surged Shang An, leaving a trail of white foam.
The area around the Fujian ship gradually became deserted.
Liang Qu called Red Mountain, mounted his horse, and prepared to head to the county town to find Liu Shiqin. Suddenly, a claw reached out and grabbed Dragon Spirit Silk leg.
"Hmm? Chief Engineer Beaver? If you want some ore from the third compartment, just take it yourself. No need to notify me."
The Great Beaver shook its head, pointed to the otters on the bow of the boat who were using Ta Ta Kai binoculars to observe the water birds, and gestured for a while.
Liang Qu pondered for a long time, then suddenly had an epiphany.
"You wish to receive enlightenment?"
The Great Beaver clasped its paws together and bowed repeatedly.
It witnessed firsthand how its foolish brothers, who only knew how to fight, were transformed by divine intervention into the people they are today—capable of sailing, practicing martial arts, and even gossiping about it while it chews on rocks on the deck—and it was filled with envy.
The stupid brothers have changed; they've become smarter.
There's no end to the gnawing.
The more Wooden Head the Great Beaver gnawed, the more it understood that creating the perfect block of wood to build the perfect dam was beyond its own capabilities; only by relying on external forces could it break through the bottleneck!...
The Chief Engineer Beaver seeking divine guidance in his quest to find the Great Dao of Wooden Head- Eating is a minor, insignificant episode.
Liang Qu casually added a wave of supplies, making the Chief Engineer Beaver's fur shiny and intelligent. He rode back to the county town, preparing to distribute some of the Mermaid Tear.
The rarer a piece of jewelry is, the more valuable it is.
The eternal and unchanging truth.
Even if you keep a few for yourself, the total number of Mermaid Tear exceeding two will inevitably lead to a price drop if you bring them to Ping Yang County and sell them all at once.
deficit.
It would be better to distribute some goods to Fragrant Township County first. Liang Qu chose Liu Shiqin, the magistrate of Fragrant Town, as his first supplier.
Before the battle, people would consult an old Daoist priest who wasn't very skilled, and the divination would reveal an ominous sign, leaving a "deep impression."
The streets were bustling and noisy, with a faint fishy smell in the air.
Several notices were posted in front of the County Government Office office, and the area was crowded with people.
Liang Qu glanced at it but didn't look closely. He then rode Red Mountain into the backyard of the County Government Office.
The County Government Office officials saw a gust of fire approaching from afar and knew who was coming, so they opened the door to welcome them.
The clerk entertained Liang Qu while rushing off to inform the County Magistrate.
The official in charge of the ceremony bowed and greeted him, saying, "I was unaware of your arrival, sir. Please come inside for tea."
Liang Qu jumped off his horse. "There's no need for tea, but may I ask if Magistrate Liu is in the yamen?"
"How can the magistrate of a county not be at the County Government Office? Lord Liang, it's been many days!"
The person arrived before the voice.
Liu Shiqin hurried out of the inner room, his clothes slightly disheveled.
Liang Qu looked at the sundial in the courtyard and apologized, "I got carried away and forgot the time, disturbing Magistrate Liu's afternoon nap."
Previously, I had a fixed schedule of three meals a day and a concept of a midday rest. Now, having broken through the Wolf Smoke of daily life, I don't feel hungry at the end of the day, and I always feel disoriented in terms of time.
"With Water Official Liang here in person, it's rare to have the opportunity to discuss refined matters. I, Liu, would be more than happy to have such an opportunity. How could I possibly disturb you? Please, take a seat!"
With a broad smile, Liu Shiqin personally led Liang Qu into the back hall and served him tea.
In the hall.
The maid stepped forward, lit the incense, and closed the lid of the incense burner.
Liu Shiqin took two deep breaths to clear his head and laughed, "After dealing with the giant snake, I originally wanted to invite you, sir, to enjoy the scenery of my Fragrant Town together. However, the dragon appeared and disappeared without a trace. I heard from Family Head Li that it went to the Great Marsh?"
Liang Qu remained noncommittal. "There are some things that need to be taken care of."
Liu Shiqin sighed deeply, picked up the teapot, and bowed to pour Liang Qu a cup of fragrant tea.
"Rising early and retiring late, there is no morning without work. Lord Liang is diligent and conscientious, while I, Liu, am ashamed in comparison. No wonder Lord Liang, at the Age of Emerging Talent, has received the Sacred Emperor's praise."
Unfortunately, despite his tireless efforts, Lord Liang missed the Good Scenery outside. There was quite a commotion in the past two days—two, oh, three major events!
Liang Qu accepted the teacup with both hands, intending to take out the Mermaid Tear from his pocket, but stopped himself upon hearing this.
"What exciting event is it?"
"Didn't Lord Liang see the notice outside the yamen when he came?"
"I arrived in a hurry, only glanced at it twice, and don't know the specific details."
Liu Shiqin suddenly realized, brushed aside the tea foam and said, "The most important thing is to change the administration of Ping Yang County and establish it as Pingyang Prefecture, while Huaiyin Prefecture will be changed to Huaiyin County and placed under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture."
Jian Zhongyi, the former magistrate of Ping Yang County, was promoted to prefect of Pingyang Prefecture. Most of the original staff of the Huaiyin Prefecture Prefectural Office were relocated to Pingyang Prefecture, with a small number moving elsewhere. The handover was to be completed within one month.
Liang Qu was stunned. "When did this happen?"
"Yesterday, April 20th, the change was officially made. Today, the 21st, the County Government Office government received the report and sent people to post notices outside the gate at noon."
From now on, Fragrant Township County will no longer be Fragrant Township County of Huaiyin Prefecture, but Fragrant Township County of Pingyang Prefecture. Congratulations, Lord Liang.
