Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 318 Respected as a God
"Red River River God."

The corner of Li Rui's mouth twitched.

My little brother Jiaolong has great ambitions.

Like human officials.

Although they are both magistrates of the same city, the gap between them is not small. The magistrate of Qinghe is comparable to the prefect, and the prefect of Kyoto is even more amazing.

The same goes for the river and sea gods.

Qinghe is just a branch of Chijiang. The real Chijiang is a big river that runs across the east and west of Yu State, and ranks among the top five rivers in Yu State.

The God of the Chijiang River can stand shoulder to shoulder with the second-rank ministers of the six ministries.

He is the top existence in Yu State.

I heard that the current God of the Chijiang River is an old turtle that has lived for 800 years. His strength is unfathomable and he is at least of the second rank.

Even the little white dragon's father is no match for him.

From this perspective, it seems that the little white dragon has great ambitions.

He is only at the fifth rank, but he has already begun to look forward to becoming a second-rank river god.

But he was much more ambitious than Li Rui. Li Rui was just a small soldier and he never dared to dream of becoming the minister of one of the six ministries.

From this perspective, it seems that the little white dragon has great ambitions.

Little White Dragon looked at Li Rui in surprise:

"Brother, are you hurt?"

Li Rui: "Why does Xiaobai ask this?"

"Why is the true dragon energy in you gone?"

Li Rui suddenly realized and felt happy.

The little white dragon carries the blood of Yinglong and has also undergone a transformation. Its perception of dragon energy surpasses that of other monsters. If even the little white dragon cannot see it, it will be even less likely for other monsters to do so.

"It's stable."

Li Rui then explained: "I have learned a method to conceal the true dragon energy."

Xiao Baijiao suddenly realized and immediately understood why Li Rui did this.

After experiencing the incident with the big dragon, the little white dragon deeply agreed with it.

The true dragon energy is too precious. Once discovered by monsters, they will scramble for it like crazy.

If you attract the covetousness of a big monster again, you may not be so lucky again.

Its Yinglong blood had been covered up by Yuan Dingting. This time he came to Qinghe to remind Li Rui of this matter, but he didn't expect that he had already been prepared.

"Big brother is still steady."

Just as Li Rui and Xiao Baijiao were talking.

Lines of small words appeared on the panel.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the intermediate plot of becoming famous - Respect as a God. ]

【People fear God, so they worship God. In ancient times, emperors were all called Sons of Heaven, which meant that people should fear them as they fear God. This is the highest realm of fame and fame. Congratulations on showing your holiness in front of people and letting the people of Qinghe regard you as a god. Please keep working hard.】

[Complete the task and treat it as a god. Rewards are being calculated.]

[Achievement: 70/100]

Li Rui looked at the small words on the panel with his eyebrows raised.

It is really an unexpected result.

Little White Dragon's unintentional action actually helped him accomplish his mission of becoming famous.

obviously.

After this incident, there must be many old charlatans in Qinghe who will regard him as a deity, and they may even build temples and erect statues for him.

'This must be stopped!'

Li Rui groaned in his heart.

Unless he was dead, building a temple would be a serious crime if the court found out.

As far as he knows.

It seems that the only person for whom the Yu Kingdom built a temple was the Emperor Taizu. Apart from that, there were the Buddha, the Taoist Patriarch, the Holy Master and other mythical figures who had been enjoying incense worship in this world for thousands of years.

No more.

Even Gao Tianxia, ​​who is number one in the world, is the same.

Li Rui was thinking about how to eliminate the risk, when Little White Dragon spoke again: "Lord Yuan asked me to patrol the river, saying that it will be needed soon. It seems that a woman from the Wu Kingdom is coming, and she is very annoying."

Li Rui understood as soon as he heard it.

The little white dragon was talking about the kiss.

He also heard the news a few days ago.

The envoys from the State of Yu have already gone to the imperial palace of the State of Yu, and the marriage has been finalized.

What follows is a series of tedious processes.

It's mostly about sacrifices, prayers, rituals and so on.

It will take some time to complete the whole set.

The last step, of course, was to send the third princess of the Wu Kingdom to the imperial palace in the capital to complete the final gift.

The third princess of the Wu Kingdom took the water route, starting from Qinghe, going directly to the canal, and then going north along the canal to Kyoto.

That's why Yuan Dingting asked Xiao Baijiao to patrol the river.

The purpose is to prevent any mountain spirits or water monsters from hiding in Qinghe River. Even if there are many guards on the ship, any setbacks would make it seem that the State of Yu is impolite.

The Wu Kingdom is not a small country.

The third princess has an even more noble status, so of course she must observe etiquette.

Otherwise, it would not be the royal family of Wu Kingdom who would be embarrassed, but the Dragon Court of Yu Kingdom.

The most important thing for the royal family is face. Others may think that this is an exaggeration, but in fact, it is not. For a dynasty to last for a thousand years, these are indispensable things, and they are related to dignity. If a royal family loses even its dignity, then it is not far from the collapse of rituals and music and the fall of the dynasty.

Li Rui: "Xiaobai, did you find anything unusual?"

He was originally responsible for the escort of the Qinghe section. Now with the little white dragon leading the way, it would of course save a lot of trouble.

Little White Dragon thought for a moment:

"Nothing unusual happened. Qinghe doesn't have many powerful characters. At most, I just happened to run into a group of pirates, and I killed their leader. That's all."

Li Rui nodded slightly after hearing this.

He had expected Xiao Baijiao to say this.

These days, he has sent two battalions of An Ning Wei to clear the area along the Qing River.

The State of Yu had enjoyed peace for a long time.

Perhaps a great monster had appeared in Qinghe a long time ago, but they were all killed after it came under the rule of the State of Yu.

At least Li Rui has lived in Qinghe City for decades and has never heard of such a thing as a big monster causing trouble.

As for the pirates
He had already reported this matter to the county government.

According to the response of the general flag of the Bing Camp, they should be a group of refugees who fled from the Wu Kingdom to the Qinghe Mountains and Swamps. On weekdays, they mostly robbed passing merchant caravans, but they have always been restrained and have never provoked anyone they shouldn't have.

The An Ning Guards are only responsible for the martial arts sects and demonic rebellions.

The pirates happened to be outside the jurisdiction of An Ning Wei, and Li Rui was sensitive about the division of responsibilities, so even if he wanted to eliminate them, he still told the county government first and asked Magistrate Jia to lead people to clear them out. If they couldn't win, he would then ask An Ning Wei for help.

This order cannot be messed up.

If Li Rui directly sent people to kill the pirates, County Magistrate Jia would not appreciate it and might even feel resentful, thinking that the An Ning Guards were too powerful and took care of the affairs of the county government, which would be embarrassing for others.

But if he informed Magistrate Jia first, Li Rui would not only save himself a lot of trouble, but if Magistrate Jia came to ask for help, he could also earn a favor for free.

Therefore, Li Rui has always adhered to the official philosophy of keeping a distance from matters that do not concern him.

Otherwise you won’t even know when you made enemies.

Li Rui: "Xiao Bai, I am in charge of this matter. If you have any news, remember to tell me."

I heard that going to Jiang would also be helpful to Li Rui.

The little white dragon is more motivated.

In its mind, Li Rui is a good brother worthy of trusting its life.

Putting aside the matter of helping it transform, the fact that one was willing to help it even though one knew it would anger a second-grade giant dragon, shows that this is a life-and-death friendship and must be handled well.

Little White Dragon: "Brother, don't worry, I'll take care of this matter."

Eight hundred miles of clear river.

It passes through seventeen counties and is named Qinghe City because its source is in a valley twenty miles outside Qinghe City.

He is also quite famous in Yunzhou.

In a small valley along the Qing River, there are a number of thatched huts scattered around.

A lot of people gathered in the area in the middle of the shed.

These people surrounded a corpse with sad faces.

"Second boss, the first boss is dead, what should we do next?"

A ragged young man spoke to a sturdy middle-aged man.

This is the group of pirates that caused chaos around Qinghe today.

The corpse in the middle is their boss.

Just yesterday, he was slapped to death by a giant dragon that suddenly appeared in Qinghe River.

The bandit camp lost its leader just like that.

The second in command had a gloomy expression on his face.

All of them could not survive in Wu Country, so they fled to Yu Country. The leader was quite skilled in martial arts, and he led them to eat small merchant caravans and barely survive. Now that the leader is dead, the backbone is gone, and this village is likely to fall apart.

The second in command looked at the people who looked sad, and made up his mind:
"The boss is dead, but I am still here. I won't let you starve. We have survived through the Hundred Thousand Mountains. How can we not survive here?"

Everyone heard this.

Their expressions were all cheered up. Although the second in command's prestige was usually overshadowed by the first in command, at this moment he was undoubtedly the head of the village.

If the second in command had stepped forward on his own initiative, the village would not have been disbanded.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

If the village is disbanded, where should they go?

They all came out of the Shiwan Mountains together. If they stay together, at least they won't die so easily.

"Second in command, we will listen to you."

A young man spoke first.

With the first person taking the lead, things will go much smoother afterwards.

Everyone's face turned red as they supported the second in command to become the boss.

Seeing that everyone supported him, the second in command's heart was mostly gone, and he suddenly felt a sense of heroism:
"Let's bury the boss first, and then we'll take everyone to find something to eat."

As for revenge, he didn't dare to mention a single word.

They were lucky that the giant dragon didn't come to settle accounts with them, so how could they dare to provoke the giant dragon?

Just when everyone was extremely excited.

The shouting stopped abruptly.

Everyone's faces turned into horror.

A strange middle-aged man with a hooked nose suddenly appeared in the village, and then he slapped the second in command who had just become the boss to death with a slap.

The middle-aged man with the hooked nose didn't even look at the people in the village.

Instead, he looked out at the crowd:
"Ancestor, this pirate village is just right."

I saw.

An old man in a blood-stained robe walked step by step into the center of the crowd.

then.

Countless bloody ghosts poured out of the old man's body.

within a moment.

There was no one left alive in the bandits' camp.
