1365 Removal of hidden dangers
Faintly visible, there was a black figure hidden in the water column, and the Wind Tiger roared wildly, rushed to Wang Baoyu's side, and a wave of air counterattacked towards the water column.
There was a creaking sound, and the water column collapsed, and a black object fell heavily on the grass, and it tumbled as if it had been hit hard.
Sun Shangxiang had long been so frightened that he forgot that he was here to protect Wang Baoyu, but instead hid behind his man timidly, staring at the black monster on the ground in horror.
Wang Baoyu was also sweating, and stepped forward to take a look, this thing looked like a huge black loach, half a meter long, a gold line on its back, and two small meat wings on its back, as if there were burn marks on its body, forming red spots the size of a fist.
The river demon was invincible to the Wind Tiger, and he was writhing on the ground in pain, but there was a hint of fierceness and unfriendliness in his eyes when he looked at Wang Baoyu.
Since a few children have been damaged, this thing is definitely not a good thing, Wang Baoyu was heartbroken, pulled out the dragon slaying knife on his waist, took a step forward, and slashed straight towards this thing.
With a louder scream, the head of the winged black loach was cut off, splashing black blood on the ground, the smell was pungent, it squirmed a few times, and died on the spot in an instant.
There was no blood on the dragon slaying knife, Wang Baoyu put it away, and said to Sun Shangxiang: "Xiang'er, let's go back!" ”
Sun Shangxiang nodded, Wang Baoyu turned over and rode on the Wind Tiger, Sun Shangxiang also had the courage to straddle up, the Wind Tiger was a little dissatisfied, and stood still, making Sun Shangxiang very faceless.
"Wind Tiger, let's hurry up and get out of here." Wang Baoyu patiently patted the tiger's head and discussed, Yufeng Tiger's nostrils spewed out a breath, or carried the two of them away, also with love, walking without walking in a straight line, rushing left and right, so frightened that Sun Shangxiang hugged Wang Baoyu and didn't dare to let go.
"Hey, that monster was killed by me, you don't have to be afraid in the future!" Wang Baoyu shouted at the peasant woman, took out a silver ingot from his bosom, and threw it over, thanking her for the reminder.
The peasant woman picked up the silver, and her mouth was so happy that she couldn't close it, and then she came to the bank of the river tremblingly, and sure enough, she saw the dead monster.
"The Great King Shenwei!" The peasant woman puffed and knelt on the ground in the direction where Wang Baoyu had left, kowtowing more than once.
The story of Wang Baoyu killing the monster in the river soon spread in Wollongong, and everyone finally understood why the little scholar could become the world-famous King of Hanxing, and he was not a mortal in the first place.
For this reason, the villagers also held a bonfire party, celebrated all night, and finally picked up the so-called river demon and threw it into the fire, but it was like a firecracker, crackling and sparkling, so startled that everyone hurriedly ran home.
"Auntie, how can there be a river demon in a good river?" Wang Baoyu had never heard of this when he was in Wollongong, and he often wandered there, even groping in the river to find the lost little meteorite.
According to Mrs. Cai, the river demon in the Qingshui River in Wollongong has appeared shortly after Zhuge Liang and Wang Baoyu left, and no one has seen the true face of the water monster, and occasionally can hear angry roars, and some people also say that the water temperature in this river is higher than others.
But as long as it is not close to the river, there is not much danger, and the villagers pooled money to invite monks and Taoists to do the Fa, but this problem was not solved. As for the disappearance of the children, there are also different opinions, because two of them were not lost by the river, so they are not necessarily related to the river demon.
The so-called river demon has a certain relationship with Wang Baoyu, this thing is the black loach that he and Huoya boiled by the river and escaped from the boiling clay pot, which belongs to the Jiaoyi clan.
At that time, Wang Baoyu had good intentions and did not hurt its life, and he didn't want the black loach to become more irritable because of being scalded by the boiling water. On this day, he suddenly saw the shadow of the enemy Wang Baoyu in the river, and immediately felt murderous intent, but his mana was still shallow, and he was not the opponent of the Wind Tiger at all. Even if he was close to Wang Baoyu himself, it was not enough to kill him, but it took his own life.
After staying in Wollongong for one night, Wang Baoyu left two large pearls to say goodbye to Mrs. Cai, who was reluctant to give up, and continued on the road, but headed northwest.
Wang Baoyu's next destination is Shangyong Sanjun, which is also his territory, and he wants to stop by to see how Shangyong is so full of favors.
Three days later, the group came to the outside of Shangyong City, and when they learned the news, they hurriedly led the officials out of the city to greet them.
"Full of favors and bow to the arrival of King Hanxing."
"Man Tai is polite, don't be restrained, I'm just passing through here." Wang Baoyu picked up the full pet, and the little old man was living more and more energetically.
The three counties of Shangyong have been trading with Xiangyang, and now the business in the city is prosperous, and the people are happy, which shows that Manzhong is also a good hand in governing the party.
Wang Baoyu praised the full favor, hoping that he could make persistent efforts, and the full favor solemnly said that it was his long-standing wish to benefit the people, and now relying on the king of Hanxing, the wish can be realized, and he should continue to work hard without arrogance.
When he came to Shangyong's mansion and sat down, Manzhong had already prepared a banquet to wash the dust for Wang Baoyu. During the banquet, Wang Baoyu asked if there were any difficulties in Manzhong, and Manzhong pondered for a long time, and then said solemnly: "Wang, in the three counties of Shangyong, the people have enough food and clothing, and there is no problem with self-sufficiency. ”
"Tell me in detail, what's going on over there in Wancheng?" Wang Baoyu was puzzled.
"When the Shangyong guard Meng Da took refuge in Cao Cao, he was stationed in Wancheng today, and I heard that he was entrusted by Sima Yi and Huang Quan to train soldiers and horses every day, and he had the intention of making a comeback." Full of pets.
Hearing Sima Yi's name, Wang Baoyu couldn't help but be vigilant, this person will definitely not be too honest, Meng Da took refuge in Cao Cao, and then followed Cao Pi, not an inch of merit, it is inevitable that he will fight for merit, and his worries are very reasonable.
"What is the opinion of Man Taishou?" Wang Baoyu asked.
"Shangyong has 30,000 troops, but there is no general, once Meng Da attacks, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist, according to the will of the ministers, between Xiangyang and Shangyong, a new city can be set up for the army to stop." Full of pets.
"Well, what you said is very reasonable, so let's just say that I mean, let Tian Ye, the general currently stationed in Fancheng, take charge of this matter, so that he can be responsible for the safety of Shangyong by the way." Wang Baoyu nodded.
"The king is thoughtful." Full Pet nodded.
This is only a temporary expedient measure, and it cannot fundamentally solve the problem, Wang Baoyu's territory is now larger, and the number of generals who can lead the army to fight is still stretched.
Thousands of troops are easy to obtain, but one general is hard to find, and getting a general can only depend on fate, but the hidden worries of mediocrity make Wang Baoyu have to pay attention to the problem of overcharging generals.
