Chapter 117: The White Snake Turns into a Dragon
Qu Gong, the new head catcher of Lingling City, stood by the river with a horizontal knife on his waist and hips, and beside him were two accompanying catchers. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lingling City was newly occupied by the Han Dynasty, and the yamen of the county government of that day ceased to exist, and all the establishment of Lingling City began again. The temporary appointment of the county order belonged to Ma Huayu of the Ma family in Yongzhou, which was also a means for He Yao to appease Ma Huateng, and it was naturally a realization of Ma Yu's promise to the family brothers.
Qu Gong was born in the Jiaozhou Mansion of Xingwangfu, and he was able to serve as the head catcher of Lingling City, but it was all the result of his own efforts. If it is in the capital of Xingwangfu, the small position of the chief catcher of a county is coveted by ordinary people, and for Qu Gong, who was born in the palace, it is really nothing.
However, the Qu family education is extremely strict, so in the intricate Xingwang Mansion and the Southern Han Dynasty, the palace with different surnames can still exist and extend, which naturally has a reason for its existence. Qu Gong saw that many of his former brothers and partners, as all parties went out to serve in other places, although their positions were extremely low-level, they were doing well.
In the words of the contemporary Jiaozhou Wang Qu Ye, being able to serve as a local foreign post is a promising future for the people of the Qu family. Qu Gong is convinced of this, because in the hands of Liu Jixing, the current emperor of the Great Han Kingdom, many people in the Qu family have already tasted the sweetness.
Although Qu Gong is not one of the top ten elites of the Qu family, he also has good skills and has a lot of experience in practicing the sword skills of the Qu family. It is said that his ancestors were not surnamed Qu, but followed the first generation of Jiaozhou King Qu Hao to fight the world together, and later as the most loyal general of the Qu family, they came to Xingwangfu to settle down, and was given the surname Qu by Qu Hao.
Qu Gong is still very proud, after all, the Qu family has given him too much. Especially now, under the call of Xianning Hou Quju, the male people from top to bottom of the Qu family have mobilized, that is, several strong women, all of whom have taken action and implemented their own ideas after getting the permission of the Qu family. It can be said that everyone who can go out has responded to the call to go out and work hard.
As a child of the Qu family who followed He Xiaoyao's army to the north this time, Qu Gong still had great hopes in his heart, hoping that he could make achievements in front of the battle. Of course, as a child of the Qu family who went out to join the army, he did not follow He Xiaoyao into Yongzhou City in disguise, but assisted Qu Weixuan to contact Yin Jiabao and captured Lingling City in one fell swoop.
Obviously, being the chief catcher of a newly occupied state and county is not an easy burden, and there are many things that need to be done at a juncture when everything is in ruins. Qu Gong thought that this was really an excellent opportunity to train himself, and took the initiative to mention it to Qu Weixian and applied to come to Lingling City. Qu Weixian was naturally happy with Qu Gong's decision, and applied for it at He Xiaoyao without the slightest objection.
Qu Gong seems to have the passion of a teenager, and he also has the stability of a seasoned Jianghu person, and being able to take up a post in the newly occupied area is also something that He Xiaoyao and Qu Weixian have repeatedly weighed. What's more, this newly occupied area is also the base area of the forward theater, and its importance is naturally self-evident.
After all, Ma Huarong came to serve as the county commander, if there was no one to assist, I was afraid that he would not be able to support him alone, and Qu Gong's identity would be a bit like a pro-guard general. If He Xiaoyao called someone over, he was afraid that Ma Huateng, who had just returned to obedience, would have an idea in his heart.
In the end, Ma Yu took the initiative to find Ma Huateng, Ma Huateng naturally understood the reason, whether it was to protect his brother or not, at least if Qu Gong was there, Ma Huayu's safety factor was much higher. He also took the initiative to make suggestions to He Xiaoyao, hoping that someone could assist Ma Huarong together.
The ending is naturally happy for everyone, and it is also expected by He Xiaoyao and a few others.
Qu Gong has big ears, a high nose and a wide mouth, his face is like a knife carving, the lines are clear, and his sword eyebrows and sideburns look a little more chic. Standing on a rock by the river, watching the two sides touch each other. He naturally knew the people of Yin Jiabao, and when he saw the sign of Nie Jiabao, he was still a little surprised in his heart.
It was also a coincidence that he happened to be passing by the neighborhood to inspect, and suddenly heard Nie Qi's angry laughter, and his heart was naturally surprised. After all, Lingling City has just been occupied by the Great Han Kingdom, and all uncertain factors will exist. Although there will be garrisons coming to defend in the future, now it is still dominated by more than a dozen hunters under his command.
He naturally didn't want an accident, although he knew that the person who came was too much more powerful than himself, he still chose to come over as soon as possible. Just when he hurried over, he saw that Liu Yi and his gang had been injured by Nie Qi.
When he was in Daozhou City, he followed Qu Weixian's side and had an intersection with the Nie family as a landlord. Although he hadn't seen Nie Qi who was with Mr. Guiyuan, nor had he seen Nie Wuji, who was injured and imprisoned in the fort by Nie Huzi, he immediately knew what was going on when he saw the flag on the passenger ship.
He couldn't help but speak out in time to stop the other party's next move.
It can be regarded as a whim, knowing that his internal strength is not as good as Nie Qi, but he cleverly called out that he was the head catcher of Lingling City, just for fear that the two sides would misunderstand.
Although he didn't know much about both sides, when he followed Qu Weixian to Yinjiabao, he understood Yin Shangxian's ambitions. Also as one of the three major forts that rose in Chudi, Nie Jiabao is not as good as Yinjiabao in terms of prestige and power. However, Nie Jiabao is located in the delicate Daozhou, and his family background is actually better than Yin Jiabao, which is naturally uncomfortable for Yin Jiabao.
Seeing that the two sides had no intention of stopping, and the two small boats that had been following behind were about to come over, Qu Gong frowned slightly, turned his head and looked around at the riverside on the side, and found that there was a door panel there. Without saying a word, he jumped down, flew and landed at the end of the door panel, and the back half of the foot was slightly in the river to urge the door panel.
The door panel quickly went down the river, as if someone was pushing it behind, Qu Gong's skills naturally had not yet reached the innate realm, but in the downstream river water, the door panel was quickly urged, but there was also a look, and the two passenger boats in the river quickly approached.
Nie Qi was still in charge, and he didn't care about the two boats that came over, and he could already see that the people on the boat were not as good as Liu Yi, who was injured by himself. couldn't help but look at Qu Gongzheng coming over quickly, and became a little interested in this so-called head catcher.
When a few people on the two boats saw Qu Gong, they naturally recognized who it was, although they were a little dissatisfied with the new head catcher, but when they remembered the words of the castle master, they looked at Liu Yi on the side who was bleeding almost seven holes, and their hearts were also shocked. For a while, he parked the boat a few meters away, and quietly watched Qu Gong sweep onto the bow of Nie Qi.
At the moment when Qu Gong landed on the bow of the passenger ship, the passenger ship actually sank slowly, and Nie Qi's eyelids jumped slightly, looking at the young head catcher. Thinking of Mr. Guiyuan's words, he knew that Qu Gong's kung fu was good, and he couldn't help but bow his hand to Qu Gong.
The stern's clever pole slowed down the passenger boat, and the three people next door immediately jumped over. Nie Wuyi took the lead and said: "Your Excellency is the head catcher appointed by General He, and Nie San Nie Wuyi of a certain Daozhou is from Nie Jiabao!" ”
Nie Qi looked at Qu Gong quietly, and took half a step sideways, letting Nie Wuyi face Qu Gong. This was almost an instinctive reaction, after all, Nie Wuji had always walked everywhere, and in terms of identity, he was his own master. Regarding the circulation of Nie Jiabao's private salt and materials, Nie Wuyi interacted with friends in various official offices and roads, and naturally became a little more calm.
"Long admiration!" Qu Gong heard Nie Wuyi's words, and his heart was slightly moved. After all, when he was in Daozhou City, he naturally heard He Xiaoyao and others talk about the details of the Nie family, and knew that this Nie Wuyi was really the main figure of the Nie family's generation, and he was one of the representatives of Nie Jiabao's current foreign business.
Although I haven't seen Nie Wuji, but looking at him, it is really similar to Nie Huzi, not to mention that there is also the logo of the Nie family on the passenger ship, so I can't help but bow back: "A certain family is the head catcher Qu Gong of Lingling City appointed by General He, I think Guibao is now the power of the Han in Daozhou City, and Nie Gong is a colleague of Daozhou City today." The family doesn't talk to the two families, and Yin Jiabao here is now the vanguard of the imperial court in Lingling City, I don't know if there is any misunderstanding, the two sides will have a conflict in the river! ”
He looked at Nie Qi unfreely, after all, he was more interested and curious about this young man who was about the same age as himself. Because of the laughter just now, Qu Gong already knew that he was far inferior to Nie Qi. I'm afraid that this powerful young man has reached the realm of a master.
"Qu Zhutou, needless to say, quickly take down these people, they are most likely spies from Hengzhou!" On the two boats later, a middle-aged man with a pointed head and a thin face pointed hoarsely at Nie Qi and the others, he faintly felt that it didn't seem good, and he just wanted to mingle at the moment.
Because this incident is really speaking, the person who embarrassed the Nie family's passenger ship was caused by this person. He is a figure of Yin Jiabao and Liu Yi's generation, and is usually known as Thin Monkey Yibao. Just because he was in charge of the upper reaches of Xiaoshui on this day, he had bad intentions when he saw the Nie family's passenger boat.
For this newly rising family, Yibao naturally became a little more hostile, and couldn't help but follow all the way down, wanting to see the details and reap the benefits. I didn't expect to go to Lingling City, which was on the territory of Yinjiabao, and I thought that I would be able to control the passenger ship by calling my companions, but who expected that Nie Qi would see the people of Yinjiabao and actually come to try his skills first.
It can only be said that Liu Yi and these subordinates are unlucky, although it is said that they are also malicious first, but it is really a disaster.
Seeing Yi Bao's nonsense, Nie Qi's brows furrowed, but he didn't make a sound. After all, in his heart, the young master of the Nie family was standing here, and he couldn't help but instinctively look at Nie Wuyi.
Nie Wuji had already seen that these people were from Yinjiabao at this time, although he usually didn't have much intersection with Yinjiabao, but as one of the three most famous forts within a radius of hundreds of miles, Nie Huzi would naturally talk about each other's characteristics to his family, and he was very familiar with each other's signs.
Thinking about the nonsense that the other party clearly knew that these people were from Nie Jiabao, but still pointed to the deer as a horse, he looked at Liu Yi, who was slowly standing in the boat, but he seemed a little miserable. The confidence in Nie Qi in his heart increased greatly, and he couldn't help but snort, and arched his hand towards Qu Gong and said: "Qu Zhutou is a person who has followed General He, and he must have stayed in Daozhou City, so he will not be unfamiliar with the banner of the Nie family!" ”
He looked at Qu Gong's face was flat, but he didn't speak, as if he was contemplative. I couldn't help but look at Yi Bao on the boat in the river, and said with a sneer: "Your Excellency is wearing Yinjiabao clothes, I have heard that Yinjiabao is a famous place near Fangyuan, but Lingling City has just been occupied by my Han Kingdom, and it is inevitable that some lawless mountain bandits and thieves will take advantage of the fire to rob, Qu Zhutou needs to open his eyes wide, I don't know if someone will pretend to be a good man in Yinjiabao and ruin the tranquility of Lingling City!" ”
Liu Yi on the boat in the middle of the river, Fang slowly came back to his senses at this time, although he was born in the older generation of Yin Jiabao, and Yin Shangxun, the owner of the castle, both belonged to the senior brothers, but due to the limited talent, his kung fu only stayed now. I had just been injured by Nie Qi's sound and hurt my internal organs, and I finally woke up, and I was lucky to find that my injuries were extremely serious, and I couldn't repair them at the moment, and I was already shocked and frightened in my heart.
He and Yi Bao are also brothers, so they naturally understand the thoughts of Yi Bao on their side, everyone has been captive in the past few days, and they have finally kicked the iron plate at this moment. But I know that today's group of people is no longer up to me.
Secretly hated Yi Bao didn't know what to do in his heart, and he was lucky that the other party didn't take the opportunity to make another move, so he couldn't help but take a deep breath, calming his mind and wanting to suppress the fishy smell in his throat. was about to say a few words about the scene, but he was already robbed of words here.
Who knew that when he heard Nie Wuyi's faint counterattack, he naturally saw Yi Bao stomping his feet in anger, and knew that if there was no basis in front of Qu Gong, after understanding him in the past few days, he understood that he was a realistic person, and he would not look at Yin Jiabao's face to dredge.
What's more, in the past few days, the people in the fort have almost ransacked Lingling City, and He Xiaoyao is renovating Yongzhou, and he has not taken care of Lingling City. Although the new county magistrate Ma Huarong is a nearby person and has some family background and background, he will not be too embarrassed by Yin Jiabao. This Qu Gong is the real He Yao, if he provokes him, he will definitely use Yin Jiabao as a punching bag. Qu Gong was trying to find a reason to talk about things, but Yi Bao was more than defeated, thinking of this, Liu Yi couldn't help but look dark, and almost fainted.
opened his mouth and moved a few times to call Qu Gong, but he didn't make a sound, and he really scared himself cold, and he knew that he was hurt more than he imagined, so he helped the side of the boat and sat down.
Qu Gong looked at Liu Yi's appearance, and his heart was even more earth-shattering, but he arched his hand towards Nie Qi, he heard the words of both sides, and knew that both sides were from the nearby walled fort, so he understood that there was usually a conflict of interest between the two sides. No matter which party gets involved and benefits by itself, it will not benefit its current environment in the slightest, and I don't want to get involved in it.
But now that he is hindered by the security of Lingling City, he has to come forward to mediate, not because he is afraid of anyone who is not good for him. He belongs to the He Xiaoyao family, and he really has the power of life and death. Qu Gong didn't want to make himself a person who was on the left and right, and when he was about to leave with the army, Xianning Hou should be taught face-to-face, and he should not participate in the struggle between the army and local forces.
I didn't care about anything in my heart, but I looked at Nie Qi who was standing with my hands on the side, and felt more and more unfathomable about him, and couldn't help but say lightly: "This is ,,,,,,! ”
"A certain Daozhou Nie Qi, born in the Nie family fort, is leaving for Yongzhou to pay homage to General He at this moment!" Nie Qi smiled slightly, and returned the salute with neither humility nor arrogance. Xie Zhi told him that he is now very senior in the rivers and lakes, and he usually knows how to be self-respecting and low-key, and don't lose the face of Mr. Guiyuan.
"Ahh It turned out to be the little brother Nie mentioned by General He and a certain family! Qu Gong's eyes were shining, showing extraordinary enthusiasm, and he smiled: "It's fate!" General He also mentioned it again and again, saying that the little brother was going to come to Yongzhou in a few days, but he didn't want to be so fast! How lucky a certain family is to meet today! ”
Qu Gong no longer paid attention to Yibao at all, knowing that He Xiaoyao only waited for the overall situation of Yongzhou City, and he would definitely come to clear Lingling City, and he was afraid that Yin Jiabao would also be implicated at that time. Then he said to Nie Qi: "Good feelings, when a certain family came to Lingling City Road that day, they were lucky to meet Mr. Sun with him, and he pointed out a few words to a certain family, which really benefited a lot." Now a certain family is not knowing how to thank Mr. Sun! I didn't expect to meet Mr. Gaozu right away! ”
Nie Qi was surprised and surprised, hearing Qu Gong say this, it was obvious that there would be no fake. hurriedly greeted Qu Gong again, and the two of them were as intimate as friends who hadn't seen each other for many days.
For a while, the people of Yinjiabao were dried in the river, and some of the people on the three boats on Liu Yi's side woke up one after another. Seeing that Qu Gong was still close to Nie Qi without giving face, he knew that Yin Jiabao's momentum in Lingling City was about to pass. What's more, the other party is a person from Nie Jiabao, and this time he won't be able to rob while the fire is burning, but I'm afraid that he will end up with a lot of money.
Liu Yi hated in his heart, but he also knew that he was more seriously injured, Nie Qi's skills were not something that his people could deal with, the castle lord went back to the castle to sit in town, and the young castle lord Yin Zhiyi sent a message in Yongzhou, saying that he would also withdraw his hand and return to the fort, but he would not take the road to Lingling City, so Liu Yi knew that he should stop for the time being.
Liu Yi saw that Qu Gong did not have the slightest good color on his side, so he had to glance at Yi Bao on the boat that was approaching on the opposite side, and the two of them comprehended the next two sentences, and drove the light boat with the injured fort people, and went ashore from one side.
Qu Gong didn't stop them, after all, the attack on Lingling City that day had a lot of credit to Yin Jiabao, although they ransacked Lingling City, it didn't cause too many complaints from ordinary people. What's more, these government affairs are handled by the county order Ma Huafu, and he only needs to maintain stability and security.
Nie Wuyi saw Nie Qi laughing and startled everyone away, and he was naturally very happy in his heart, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Yin Jiabao's tricks. Presumably, now that Qu Gong is here, there will be no trouble near Xiaoshui. Politely came over to get close to Qu Gong, he was already doing business everywhere, naturally he was exquisite, very sociable and connected, and Qu Gong was also familiar with him for a while.
As soon as Nie Qi asked, he found out that on the way to Lingling City, Qu Gong met Mr. Guiyuan beside He Xiaoyao. I don't know why Mr. Guiyuan looked at Qu Gong differently and made an exception. Although Qu Gong didn't think that Mr. Guiyuan would accept him as a disciple, he received such a great opportunity and naturally regarded himself as a disciple of Mr. Guiyuan.
For Nie Qi, a real disciple, Qu Gong was more envious in his heart. I heard that Nie Qi was going to Yongzhou, so he naturally kept it.
Nie Qi couldn't wait to go to Yongzhou, so he broke up with Qu Gong and continued to move forward. Qu Gong didn't want to hold on too much, watching the two passenger boats quickly disappear at the end of the river.
Lingling City to Yongzhou City down the river, it can be said that it is instantaneous, but the passenger ship is not a motor ship in later generations after all, and it is already afternoon when it arrives in Yongzhou City. The passenger ship went all the way unimpeded, and soon you could see Yongzhou City.
Because of the stationing of the army of the Han Kingdom, although the original water village was washed away, now He Xiaoyao also sent people to inspect the waterway. It is forbidden to pass on many days, and when Nie Qi and his party grinded to Yongzhou City, it was already nearly late.
Standing on the bow of the ship, I saw the outline of Yongzhou City, and it was already lit up everywhere. Looking at Yongzhou City, which is surrounded by houses, thinking that he will be able to see his master and He Xiaoyao immediately, Nie Qi can't help but be full of excitement.
A scream that seemed to be terrible suddenly came from the cave, and the sound suddenly came like a crack through the clouds, and it was clearly audible even in Yongzhou City. Because of the sound and amplification of the cave, the originally sharp scream became extremely large and long.
Nie Qi's face changed, although he didn't know what it was, but when he felt the momentum, he couldn't help but look at Nie Wuyi, instructed him, and quickly walked towards the voice.
The sudden sound made people's chests feel swollen and even more heartbreaking. It's as if you feel a trapped beast, and suddenly see that you can't get out of the trap around you, and you want to make the last trapped beast fight.
The sound was long and long, and although it came from the cave, it was very loud and uncomfortable, but it did not feel strange.
What is surprising is that this voice is loud and spacious, faintly with the legendary dragon roar, making people feel like they are in the midst of stormy waves.
Sure enough, as soon as this voice sounded, a few people in Qin Zhuang who were standing by the cave were fortunately prepared, but the faces of several people behind Qin Zhuang still changed a little.
The first to react was the alien white tiger beside the Yaochi Fairy Feng Biwei, which suddenly retreated three steps away from the stone, so that the Yaochi Fairy on the side couldn't help but want to appease it when they saw its strange appearance.
It looked a little restless, only to see its tiger eyes widened angrily, grinning its teeth and shaking its head a few times and roaring, looking at the Yaochi fairy's red eyes, after hearing the sound from the cave, it shook its head and shook its neck and roared wildly.
The roar of the dragon and the roar of the tiger is a spectacle.
Hearing this sharp scream in the cave, the few people present who were close to each other did not seem to be surprised in the slightest. Although everyone couldn't help but take half a step sideways, they also automatically had internal strength to protect their whole body, and after being a little shocked, they were all a little silent.
Regardless of whether they hide it well or not, even if it is this foreign object, they care too much, for this kind of stormy scene, they have already experienced too much. In this life, they have seen many strange people and strange things, and how many rare birds and beasts they have come into contact with.
Although everyone didn't seem to be too surprised, there was some surprise on everyone's face, and there was no need to hide this surprise. After all, a strange beast that has been cultivated for more than a hundred years, where can it be so easy to deal with, let alone a strange thing that everyone can see, not to mention that everyone seems to be bound to get it now.
There is no great chance in a lifetime, let alone seeing these foreign objects, even if you listen to them, you only hear a few words in other people's mouths, and now everyone is conspiring to get these foreign objects. No matter what others think, at least everyone wants it.
These people are obviously no strangers to this foreign object outside Yongzhou City, and some people have seen its kind many years ago. This alien species has been spiritual for more than thirty or fifty years, let alone a foreign body that has been more than a hundred years old.
According to folk legends, this kind of foreign body can be transformed into a human form after more than 100 years of practice. Although no one has seen it with their own eyes, it has been said since ancient times. Presumably if this is the case, I am afraid that there will be a big dispute here.
Everyone was prepared from the beginning, because they had never seen a strange beast, and they had to beware that it had special abilities, right?
Qin Zhuang naturally has the most right to speak, because now he has the dragon fade in his arms, which is a treasure that has just faded from this foreign body, in other words, this foreign object has transformed again because of this dragon fade, and now he doesn't know what realm it has reached.
But Qin Zhuang knew that the meaning of this dragon faded was like the hair and skin of a human body, how could there be no feeling for this alien species. Hearing this huge dragon roar, he immediately felt that he was carrying the dragon fading, and it actually dissipated like the sun, and a wave of warmth quickly came from the dragon fading, and it immediately spread all over the body, and the comfortable Qin Zhuang almost ** up.
The foreign object is about to come out, and although it is still far away, it can already be clearly sensed that the life that seems to be closely connected with itself is rapidly approaching. Qin Zhuang was so excited that his palms were sweating, although he had practiced for many years, but when he encountered this strange thing, it was closely related to his current situation, where could Qin Zhuang not be excited.
There are a few people close to the cave, who is not the leader in the rivers and lakes today, and even the antiques that have been practiced and retired for many years. The cultivation of a body has long exceeded the innate realm, and the breath rhythm can be integrated with heaven and earth at any time.
The roaring attack of this strange beast, or rather, the demonstration of others, did not have much impact and excitement on them. Although he will lose faith in his heart, he is even happier in his heart, because this shows the ability of this strange beast even more.
However, the people of Yin Jiabao, who were far away, were caught off guard to varying degrees, almost tearing people's eardrums, where did such a powerful energy come from in that small body?
