Hengshui Envoy!
"Smack!"
The light of a meteor streaked across the sky, bursting into a blazing yellow flower in the darkness, and hundreds of streams of light fell, briefly illuminating the Great Marsh.
The fisherman, poling the skewer, stood upright, his face glistening with sweat.
Entrusted by their fellow villagers, three or five children held hands and supported each other, standing at the bow of the boat, swaying and gazing into the distance.
"Let's go too."
After the performance ended, the audience dispersed in twos and threes, while the fishing boats that had been crowded around the perimeter spread out like a large net, drifting in all directions of the Great Marsh, which was then held back by the fireworks display.
After admiring the scenery for a while, Liang Qu said goodbye on the way and stood up to bow.
Long Yao and Long Li bowed slightly to greet the family head and elders who came forward to talk to them, and the blush on their cheeks gradually faded away.
The wind flows away from the open space under the roof.
As night deepened and the hustle and bustle grew, carriages and horses filled the streets, their canopies flying like cranes and their horses swimming like fish.
Liang Qu strolled through the crowd, with the Dragon Girl quietly following behind.
After that.
Meteors streaked across the sky, bullets burst forth, and then countless flowers burst forth, leaping like dragons and fluttering like phoenixes, finally accompanied by lightning and thunder, a riot of color.
Regardless of whether the snake is big or small.
At this moment, life is truly joyful.
The following morning, a thin mist hung in the air, and the tips of the dripping leaves trembled.
The closing ceremony left many people in the water town wanting more, and they lingered by candlelight, enjoying the festivities.
The Dragon Girl had been excitedly discussing the play's theme all night in the East Wing Room, felt no fatigue but was full of energy. Noticing that dawn was approaching, she quickly tidied up and knocked on the window to wake him as usual, only to find that Liang Qu was not in the room, having gone to the pond to cultivate early in the morning.
A gentle breeze blows, and dewdrops roll down the veins of the leaves into the water, splashing up a delicate fragrance of Lotus Leaf.
Whoosh!
The water droplets drifted.
Liang Qu emerged from the water, parted the lotus leaves, and sat in the newly built pavilion. The water on his body dried down his trouser legs, and he sighed slightly.
"You haven't improved at all."
Liang Qu was greatly disappointed with the Flood Dragon.
Yesterday's River God Sacrifice was over, and I easily received two points of blessing, the most of any previous festival.
The Flood Dragon's Malice has increased again, but it is still far less than the transformation from the first to the second time!
That's pretty much the peak of stimulation.
If there were a progress bar showing the Flood Dragon's favorability, then the relationship between Liang Qu and the Flood Dragon would have gone from strangers to enemies, and then to generations of blood feud.
They wanted to kill him as soon as possible; there was no way to persuade him to surrender.
"Fortunately."
Liang Qu's gaze fell on the Mirage Worm, and his regret was fleeting.
I have better options.
If the exploration of Cloud Cottage Immortal Island is genuine, the benefits brought by the Flood Dragon's Malice will become insignificant.
It's ultimately difficult to temper one's will through fighting and enduring malice.
Why stand up when you can make money lying down?
"Woof woof woof!"
The Oolong's cry came from the front yard and then quickly disappeared.
"Lord Liang! Great news!"
Li Shoufu's voice rang out from the doorway, and he entered the courtyard under Chen Xiu's guidance.
He wasn't the only one; his footsteps were numerous.
Thinking about the timing, Liang Qu was overjoyed and roughly guessed what had happened.
Upon entering the hall, Li Shoufu was indeed followed by two imperial guards dressed in silver-sleeved robes.
Before Liang Qu could ask any questions, Li Shoufu stepped aside and said, "Quickly, this is the Lord Liang Qu you've been looking for."
The two imperial guards straightened up and bowed respectfully. "Peng Dafan / Dong Chonghe greet you, sir."
Liang Qu nodded in agreement.
Li Shoufu hurriedly urged, "Quickly, quickly, bring the things up!"
Upon hearing the commotion, two imperial guards moved swiftly, and then carried two large boxes into the hall. Peng, the imperial guard who was half a body length ahead, presented the tray with both hands.
The small tray contained Official Seal, Waist Token, sashes... everything was there! Liang Qu's prediction was correct.
He got promoted!
"A sixth-rank Hengshui Envoy Subordinate Sixth Rank Hengshui! Such a rapid promotion as Lord Liang's is unheard of!"
Li Shoufu's face was rosy, as if he himself had been promoted.
In less than two years, he rose from the Eighth Rank River Earl to the Subordinate Sixth Rank Hengshui Envoy, a full four ranks!
Among all the young officials in Pingyang Prefecture, he was the most sought-after! Without a doubt!
Liang Qu picked up the Official Seal and Waist Token.
Several promotions were all due to major events, such as the Ghost Mother Sect causing trouble or the breach of the dike in Hua Zhu County. As a result, each promotion was accompanied by an imperial envoy. Suddenly, he was replaced by two ordinary imperial guards, which was quite unusual for him.
Observe carefully.
The Official Seal was simple in design, bearing only the name of the official position, while the Waist Token tag was much more elaborate, displaying a wealth of information.
The former is mostly used for stamping and issuing orders, while the latter is mostly used for passage and proving identity.
Upon opening the box, one finds it filled with matching official robes.
The central set of formal attire includes a crown, upper garment, inner garment, lower garment, knee covering, sash, wide belt, leather belt, jade pendant, socks and shoes, which are only worn when receiving envoys or on important occasions.
Secondly, there are four sets of interchangeable everyday clothes, which are official uniforms worn when handling daily official duties.
Because he was a military officer, his overall appearance was not much different from that of Dushui Official, and he was more fitted.
The water is deep blue, and the pattern changes from auspicious cloud patterns to wave patterns, with a flowing and graceful feel when pulled. In the middle, there White Deer Water-Treading Auspicious Beast.
In terms of appearance, it is more solemn and gorgeous than the brocade fish robe of Dushui Official.
Good, good, good! I thought it would be late June or even July, but it seems that the "fast horse" Xu Yuelong mentioned is much faster than I imagined.
That feels so good!
The leap from the seventh rank to the sixth rank is an enormous one!
This means Liang Qu has completely jumped from the lower-middle level to the middle level! One Snake Demon, three Great Merit, one great pill, and a promotion of one rank! The drop rate is too high.
Ultimately, however, it is Liang Qu, who is capable of dealing with the level one calamity of the Water Demon, who deserves this military officer's uniform! Martial ranks have implicit requirements for strength and realm, essentially because strength and realm are a direct manifestation of ability.
However, personal ability is not just about strength; therefore, level of attainment is always an implicit requirement, not a hard condition.
Having single-handedly dealt with a Snake Demon of the Great Martial Master level, his formidable abilities, combined with the imperial decree's blessing, were enough to allow Liang Qu to overcome the barriers of age and strength, and be promoted one rank! Liang Qu snapped out of his reverie, "You two have traveled a long way, your journey must be tiring, perhaps..."
After exchanging a few pleasantries and giving him a reward, he warmly invited the imperial guards to dine with him.
The guards knew this was just polite talk, since Liang Qu had given them a lot of money, significantly more than the normal pay. They immediately said they had other important business to attend to and took their leave.
Wait until the person leaves.
The Dragon Spirit Silk fluttered and transformed into Spirit Deer Water-Treading Robe, amidst ripples of white waves.
As Liang Qu walked through the hall, his stride exuded the imposing presence of a high-ranking official of the sixth rank! "A person is in high spirits when good things happen."
I woke up early this morning and instead of looking for the Snake Demon demon to get the treasure, I stumbled upon this wonderful news, which is really exciting.
Tell the Dragon Girl to put away her official robes.
Taking advantage of the momentum, Liang Qu went to the West Wing to find the Old Monk and obtained two more short poems that he had ordered yesterday.
Previously, I went to the Great Marsh to observe strange phenomena and fought with a strange fish, leaving me with one fish. With the two fish I saw today, I now have three fish.
Grandmaster cultivate Divine Ability powers to aid them.
The short poem created by the Old Monk must be a manifestation of one of his Divine Ability. Considering the characteristics of the "Subduing Dragon and Tiger Adamantine Skill," it goes without saying.
Liang Qu's cultivation Dharma Gate, even the superior Dragon Tiger Golden Body, when activated, will be more effective due to the compatibility between them, enough to make him invincible when facing the Snake Demon!
Everything is ready.
"It's time to go and meet the Snake Demon."
The drop rate for the last Snake Demon was so high, and now there are four of them!
Liang Qu did not change his official robes, and with the gusto of a new official, he traveled by boat to the Great Marsh.
