Imperial Capital.

The wind and snow stopped for a while.

The overhanging eaves of the outer city are connected, the wind chimes are ringing softly, and the blue-gray roof tiles have all changed color and are covered with a thick layer of snow.

Transparent ice edges hang from the eaves, crumbling in the cold wind.

The New Year is approaching and the weather is getting colder, so every household puts out a charcoal basin.

Some people breathed hot air, stepped out of the threshold, and used broomsticks to break the ice to prevent them from falling and injuring passers-by.

Looking back at the Imperial City.

The wind and sunshine remain unchanged.

Qinzheng Hall, East Side Hall.

The afternoon sun shines through the carved window panes and casts dazzling golden spots on the thick wool carpet. Girls in royal attire line up to tidy up the appearance of the Holy Emperor who has risen from his lunch break.

"Is there any news from southern Xinjiang?"

"Reply to Your Majesty, not yet."

"Don't be careless when all the tribes in southern Xinjiang join forces. If you really want to turn that mountain spirit into a false dragon, in the future, if you deal with southern Xinjiang, the Lucang River is a natural chasm. You can be passive in everything. If you have any news, report it to me in time."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured."

"Where's Beiting? Last year, there was snow falling thousands of miles across the north this year, so it won't be too peaceful."

The chief eunuch took a thick stack of album pages from the little eunuch next to him and handed it over with a bow.

Turning over the pages of the album, most of them are a summary of the intrusions in November. They are small fights and not too important.

Pause.

"Where is the Ghost Mother Cult?"

"The Ghost Mother Sect has not taken any action for the time being, but there is indeed something going on in the Jianghuai waters, and I will report it to Magistrate Jian of Pingyang Prefecture."

The chief eunuch turned around, and the young eunuch bowed forward. In a tray lined with red cloth, a single memorial was displayed.

"What's so grand?"

"Back to Your Majesty, happy news! The Pingyang Mansion's river station is from Liupin Hengshui to Liangqu. He is only eighteen and three months old. The Wolf Smoke Sky Bridge is complete. The tiger hunt is about to happen. He is expected to break my Dashun record. I hope the imperial court will give me a helping hand."

"Oh? Liangqu... I have an impression of building bridges and canals?"

"Exactly, the old garden is good for cultivation, and the chrysanthemums bloom in May. His Majesty took a fancy to him when he was still in his infancy, and gave him a gift. Now he is bearing great fruit."

"Hahaha, what a fruitful thing! It's a rare happy event. Last year, flood control was carried out. Let's hear what Liang Qing did this year."

When the general manager received the memorial, he already had a draft.

"In the early spring and April, Xiangyi County drove the white apes to kill the snake demon, which was the third great achievement; in the early summer and June, Daze discovered a strange phenomenon, during which time he uprooted the Ghost Mother Cult's spies, which was the first great achievement; in the midsummer and August, he made good friends with the dragon people,

Encourage dragon people to join the imperial court as officials, which is the second great achievement;

In late autumn and November, I went to Huangzhou and persuaded a thousand shark tribesmen to switch to Jianghuai and engage in trade. This was a great achievement.

In five days of this year, it will be the end of the year's official assessment. Among the eight meritorious deeds in a year, Mr. Liang must be the first in his class in Pingyang Mansion, and there should be additional meritorious deeds."

Put on a yellow robe.

"Tell the officials to give this boy ten great merits in this year's assessment."

"Yes, the issue of assistance when hunting tigers with wolf smoke..."

A little thought.

"Immediately ask the Qintian Supervisor to organize people to rush to Pingyang to verify the authenticity of the age and try to calculate it within three days. In addition, send a first-grade dragon-blood horse to deliver the message and teach Nanzhili to move the throne to the Temple of Heaven. The altar of human harmony has arrived.

, let that boy sit on the altar and come to the imperial capital as soon as possible."

"Moving the Temple of Heaven?"

The manager was surprised.

"Go and do it immediately."

"yes!"

The manager took the order and took three steps back, but did not leave.

"Anything else?"

"Xu Siqing presented a clever object, and the Empress invited Your Majesty to wake up and look at it together. From the discussion, this object is also related to the Liang Shui envoy."

"What?"

"I don't know."

"I know, I'll go later."

…

"What do you think, Lord Boss?"

"very good!"

Umibozu was so happy that he wrapped his tentacles around the little man and shook him gently.

Liang Qu fell uncontrollably, and immediately felt like he was sinking into a ball of cotton, as soft as clouds and mist.

It took quite a while.

Master Haibo released his tentacles and patted Liang Qu's head gently.

Liang Qu felt strange, but was not reassured and continued to ask: "Master, can it be compared with a body of water now?"

"Well, it's quite difficult."

Umibozu hesitated.

The current trading volume is indeed surprising and unexpected, but that is the same as the previous disappointment.

Compared with the volume of water beasts in one water area, it is still not as good as it is, and there is even a huge gap, especially for high-quality items.

really.

Liang Qu was not surprised.

It's not a holiday, and in the rush, something is incomplete after all.

If it were mid-June, when Tianbo Chamber of Commerce held an auction, the scenery would definitely be completely different.

The news was relayed to Xu Yuelong and others.

Xu Yuelong was quite nervous. He really didn't expect the size of the merchants to be so large beforehand, so he quickly called Sui Hongyan and others: "Let's take out the things in the treasure house and keep the cubs?"

"Bullshit." Sui Hongyan rolled his eyes, "If you misappropriate the treasure trove without following the procedures, do you know how many people will rush to impeach you? The maritime merchants you recruited from the river bank have more merit than fault. It won't be a problem, so don't drag us in."

If you don't see a rabbit, you won't see an eagle.

Xu Yuelong cursed secretly in his heart.

"What conditions? Open!"

Sui Hongyan looked at others and grinned.

"If you had said so earlier, it would have been over."

Within two days.

The Chamber of Commerce, the family, and the government tried their best to barely retain the maritime merchants.

Until the third day.

Several big snakes dragged the light boat and slowly came forward.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The real big shot appears!

Umibozu's expression was serious.

Demon King!

The arrival of the King of Yue gave everyone a shot in the arm, and boxes after boxes of good treasures were shipped off the ship.

A small figure slid down the springboard.

"Master!"

"Little rocks!"

Liang Qu picked up Wen Shiyun and lifted her into his arms.

It was lively for a while.

The King of Yue, who had finished the transaction with the owner of Haifang, waved to Liang Qu. Liang Qu asked Li Libo and Chen Jiechang to send the stones to their home to play with, and he jumped on the bow of the boat.

"master!"

"Have you captured the aura of the hunting tiger?"

Liang Qu shook his head.

The butler Zhang Xu moved the chairs.

"There's no rush." ​​The King of Yue held Liang Qu's shoulders, and the two of them sat opposite each other, "Your sky bridge is so perfect that it can only take a month. Not to mention the one who has never made a breakthrough is the great martial artist Hunting Tiger who has made a breakthrough. It took him several years to encounter this problem."

It’s not uncommon either.”

"Master, there is something I don't understand. What's the difference between the aura of a tiger hunted by a wolf's smoke and the mysterious light of a master's cave opened by a hunted tiger?"

"There is no difference. Both belong to the unity of heaven and man."

"Unity of man and nature?"

"Have you ever heard of the whim of the Karitora warrior?"

"I know that when faced with a life-or-death crisis, or when something important happens, the Great Martial Master Hunto will occasionally have feelings, but they are not very accurate. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't work. Once you become a Grandmaster, you have to be much more accurate, and when you become a Martial Saint, you should not act rashly.

"

Liang Qu was deeply impressed.

Because of this, with the power of the Martial Saint, he would often sense the movement of the Martial Saint on the opposite side, making it extremely difficult to ambush him.

Only in this way can there be instruments such as the Si Ye Jing Tian Yi used to "shield the heavenly secrets", shield, crack, more advanced shielding, more advanced cracking, which has the meaning of checks and balances and counter-checks and balances.

The King of Yue flicked his fingers slightly.

A small air bomb flew out and hit the water surface, causing ripples.

"Did you see the gas bomb?"

Liang Qu nodded.

"Where's Ripple?"

Liang Qu pondered.

“I didn’t deliberately create ripples, but they were born because of me. Among all things in the world, as long as humans exist, they will always have an impact on everything around them.

If others want to kill me, they have to rush towards me. The stirred up wind will blow against my face, and the cut knife will reflect light. The so-called unity of heaven and man means communicating with heaven and earth and catching half of the ripples in advance.

In addition, the unity of heaven and man will temporarily unite the three elements of human essence, energy, and spirit, and supplemented by the longevity of heaven and earth, it can build innate magical powers that are engraved on the human soul.

Therefore, to become a master, you need to open up the mysterious light. You can roughly understand that opening up the mysterious light is the weakening of the unity of heaven and man, but it is the norm.

The smoke of the wolf enters the so-called aura of the hunting tiger, which makes the spirit and the blood blend, and it is also the harmony of the spirit and spirit in the three-yuan unity of essence, energy and spirit."

Liang Qu thought of what Jian Zhongyi said and asked the court to help.

"Is there any external object that can help capture the spiritual light and even achieve the unity of heaven and man?"

"Yes, apart from the many treasures, I predict that you will break the record this time, and the court will let you sit in the Temple of Heaven."
