The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 233 But left
But it was said that Ergou had been wild at Li's house, so he went to Wuyou Cave at night, found the place where the gold and silver had been hidden earlier, and took out more than two thousand taels of gold, which is about [-] or [-] kilograms. They were tied into two packages with cloth, then carried on a load, and rushed to Sitian Antai overnight.

Shi Laodao was quite surprised by the sudden arrival of Ergou, but he said: "How dare you come to the inner city and wander around? Don't you know that Gao Gongji is going crazy looking for you?! If you try to catch him again, you will But I’m not as lucky as last time!”

Ergou said with a smile: "Don't worry, old Taoist. Gao Gongji took advantage of others' danger before. Now, I have learned a lesson from him, but I will not give him a similar opportunity again. As long as I have the strength to fight If you don’t lose, even though he has all kinds of abilities, he can’t do anything to me!”

Ergou is really not bragging when he says this. In terms of fighting ability, Ergou may not be considered the best, but his ability to run away is already unique in the world.

To be honest, it is pure nonsense to say how advanced Ergou's footwork is based on his creativity in his previous life.

In general, Ergou's self-created move is not only unique in concept, but also a move that can make big bricks fly with one force. However, this has also caused an almost unavoidable shortcoming, that is, it wears out the hardware.

Of course, this shortcoming is not a big problem for people like Ergou who have the ability to repair body damage.

It is precisely because of such a convenient advantage that Ergou can modify and improve his footwork bit by bit through practical operations.

There are two main directions for his improvement, one is to be faster, and the other is to cause less damage to the body. If the situation permits, it is best to give consideration to both.

Ergou did not name the footwork in these two directions separately, but collectively called it [Shukuchi Technique].

The reason why Ergou did this was because he was hiding.

Although Shi Laodao and the others knew that Ergou was running very fast, they did not know that he had already reached another unimaginable level.

Some people may ask, with so many elites and heroes in history, haven’t they developed something similar?
Of course!And there are quite a few.

For example, the Taoists have [Armor Equestrian Technique], [Secret Shrunken Earth Technique], [Wind Control Technique], etc., and the demon group has [Blood Escape Technique], [Shadow Escape Technique], etc. In addition, there are some more biased techniques. The secret of the door.

Each of these secret escape techniques has its own advantages and disadvantages. The key is that they are not on the same track as Ergou’s [Shrinking Earth Technique]. It’s really hard to say which one is better and which one is worse.

But in terms of small-scale movement and the bonus to personal combat power, Ergou's self-created [Shrinking Earth Technique] is even better.

Old Taoist Shi couldn't see Ergou being so "arrogant", but he said: "Don't show off to me, Old Taoist! What's the reason for you to come to my place so late at night?"

Ergou laughed and said, "The old Taoist priest asked the question knowingly! During the day, Taoist Liu Jingchan went to recommend the toad venom to me. It has an excellent analgesic effect. I wanted to buy it on a large scale, but he deliberately raised the price. I have to sell it for one tael and ten taels of gold, boy, I accepted his blackmail, so I had to come to the city to find some gold and silver to supplement my expenses!"

When Taoist Shi heard this, he couldn't help but became angry and shouted: "You thief really wants to die! How dare you try to make a big move (another name for thieves in ancient times) in this capital city?! Old Ghost Chen Is this how you were taught?!”

However, Shi Laodao thought that Ergou had gone to the rich man's house in the city to steal gold and silver. This kind of behavior would be looked down upon not only by a high-ranking group like the Demon Suppressor, but also by ordinary gangsters.

Ergou said with a smile: "Taoist Priest has misunderstood! No matter how incompetent the boy is, he will not do such cheap stealing! When I killed the scum of Wuyou Cave earlier, I collected some gold from it. The stolen silver has been buried, and now it’s just time to take it out to block the greedy face of Liu Laodao!”

"So that's it! You're a cunning kid! But you still know how to hide stolen goods!" After hearing Ergou's explanation, Shi Laodao lost his anger. He only smiled and cursed, and said: "But you misunderstood the surprise." Junior Brother Toad. It costs a lot for his family to tame exotic toads. That toad is ten gold and one tael. Although it is indeed a bit expensive, it is not outrageous! Since you can come up with enough gold and silver, just pay him yourself!"

Ergou said: "Old Taoist Priest! You see, I bought some toad pods for the disabled patients, not for my own use. Can you and I support some expenses?"

However, Shi Laodao said: "Boy, since you have gathered enough gold and silver, don't think about taking advantage of me. I am very poor and I really don't have any spare money to give you!"

Ergou said angrily: "Old Taoist Master, what you said is a bit too much! Not long ago you extorted 1000 taels of gold from me, how could you dare to say that you have no spare money?!"

However, Shi Laodao pretended to be deaf and said: "What? You want to give me another 1000 taels of gold as a gift? That's a great relationship!"

Pooh!I’m giving you a gift!
Ergou said angrily: "Old Taoist Shi, don't pretend to be stupid here. Let me tell you, these I picked out this time are actually the gold used to pay for the money of Taoist Jing Toad. There are 77 ingots in total, which is about more than 150 gold. Jin, more than two thousand and five hundred taels, all of them are pure gold. If you have the courage, you can take this gold away too!"

But Shi Laodao smiled and said: "You kid really doesn't know how to tease me! No matter how greedy I am, I can't take away your money to buy medicine!"

Ergou sneered: "I think you bully the weak and avoid the strong! You dare to blackmail my family's gold and silver, why don't you dare to covet your junior brother's money?! Don't you think he has some status that is not easy to mess with?!"

Shi Laodao sighed and said: "You kid, don't act reckless! Although Junior Brother Liu's family does have some influence, it is definitely not what you think. The Liu family tames exotic toads, how do you think it is easy? Are you on an errand?! Those alien toads are naturally evil and can easily be infected by evil spirits. So much so that the Liu family’s children spend a lot of manpower and material resources every year to clean up those evil toad monsters. You didn’t spend all your gold. Not a loss."

Ergou heard this, but he became thoughtful and asked, "Old Taoist Master, I don't know how the Liu family used to clean up those demonized toad monsters?"

Shi Laodao glared and said: "This is the secret of the Liu family, and it cannot be shared by outsiders! Why do you want to ask about this?"

Ergou said with a smile: "Old Taoist, you don't know, kid, I have made a kind of salt essence. Because of the secret method, the salt essence has a very good purification effect on the power of evil spirits. I don't know that the Liu family is domesticating aliens." Is it useful for toads?!"

Shi Laodao smiled in surprise: "You kid, don't be delusional. Do you think I don't know what tricks you did in Huazhou? I don't know where you got some green salt, but you ground it into powder and used it to cheat! The Liu family There are so many large salt lakes in the northwest, so why is there a shortage of a little bit of salt like you?!"

Ergou felt a little happy when he heard what Old Taoist Shi said. Even though the people in this sect have great eyes and hands, they still don't know the uniqueness of his secret refined salt. It should be said that those guys acting as spies just used that The origin of salt essence is too taken for granted.

Ergou said: "Old Taoist, what you said is a bit too biased! You have never seen the salt essence I made with your own eyes, how can you be sure whether it is really magical?! I won't force it on you, kid! , as long as you talk to that Taoist Jingchan, if he doesn't believe it, everything will stop.

But if Taoist Master Jingchan is willing to trust me and wants to try the salt essence I made, you can't stop him! Shi Laodao shook his head and smiled: "Okay!"Everything is up to you! "

In this way, the two of them agreed on some matters and delivered the gold. However, Ergou stayed at Sitian Antai for one night and left before dawn the next morning.

However, he took advantage of the early morning and secretly returned to the small courtyard where he rented. He asked Liu Tang, who was still sleeping soundly, to say something, and asked him to go to the Qingjie Monastery in the north of the city to leave a message with the master there if he had anything to do. .

Then he dressed up, hitched up his carriage and horses, and headed out of the city with half a cart of salt essence.

When the two dogs returned to Mengjiazhuang, they met Meng Ze, the owner of Mengjiazhuang, returning home.

The martial arts inherited by the Meng family is the combat skill of a pair of wheel axes. This wheel ax is one of the most powerful weapons in the world. It cannot be used by those who are not physically strong, and it is even more difficult to use it well.

For example, the most evil person in the future Liangshan Heroes - [Black Whirlwind] Li Kui uses a pair of axes. He only relies on his strength. Dealing with small soldiers is like chopping melons and vegetables. He is just like the god of death in the world, but if If he really met a master, Li Kui would be a little helpless.

In comparison, Meng Bangjie, a fierce general in the Yue family army who was born later, is more powerful.

Meng Bangjie is from Mengjiazhuang, and in terms of seniority, he should be Meng Ze's grandson.

How powerful is Meng Bangjie? He once used a pair of axes to fight and kill Zhang Conglong, a fierce general in the Jin army. However, Zhang Conglong was a top master who even Yue Fei was amazed by.

Of course, Meng Bangjie is powerful, but that does not mean that his grandfather Meng Ze is equally powerful. As Master Lu said, what is truly powerful are people, not some peerless martial arts.

Meng Ze's martial arts skills can only be said to be pretty good, and he is more than enough to be a leader in the Forbidden Army. However, if he wants to take a step further, he is somewhat unable to do what he wants.

After all, the Forbidden Army at this time was not what it would be like after Captain Gao took over ten years later. Especially among the upper and fourth armies, it was true that the capable were at the top and the mediocre at the bottom. Every once in a while, they had to run around the battlefield. If you are capable and want to occupy a high position, the battlefield will teach you how to be a good person.

Meng Ze was extremely happy about Jiao Dong's arrival, especially when he knew that Jiao Dong's hands were expected to recover, he was even more overjoyed.

As for why Meng Ze is so interested in Jiao Dong, it is not only because of the ancestral friendship between the two families, but also because Meng Ze has admired Jiao Dong's martial arts since he was young.

Speaking of the martial arts inheritance of the Meng family and the Jiao family, there was no distinction between the superiority and inferiority in the initial period of Meng Liang and Jiao Zan. They all received personal guidance from Yang Liulang, which made the family martial arts have an almost qualitative improvement. And Meng Liang and Jiao Zan have also reached the level of quasi-extreme masters with this.

Compared with the real top masters such as Yang Liulang and Yang Wenguang, the only thing they lack is that they did not systematically build the foundation in the early stages of martial arts practice, so that their basic qualities have never reached the extreme level of human beings.

After Meng Liang and Jiao Zan, the children of the Meng family were just weasels and rats. For two or three generations in a row, there was not a single relatively successful child.

The Jiao family had several outstanding children, but Jiao Yong, who had just established himself in the family, fell into Han Qi's hands and became a tool used by that guy to scare Di Qing's monkey. It was a bad luck. .

Jiao Dong is also the most outstanding among the three generations of Jiao family. Many people think that he has the potential to surpass his ancestor Jiao Zan and become a supreme master. Who would have thought that he would encounter a sudden disaster in the middle of his growth, but he was beheaded by a pair of people? Palm to go.

Meng Ze believes that even if Jiao Dong loses his hands, he will still be a figure with the temperament and vision of a top master. If the children of the Meng family can get Jiao Dong's careful guidance, not only can they become true top masters, at least they can have Director Jin is not.

To put it bluntly, no one in this world is a fool, and the so-called loyalty and loyalty do not come out of thin air. Even if the crippled Jiao Dong becomes more decadent, he is still very valuable in Meng Ze's eyes, and the Jiao Dong who restored the palm of his hand is still very valuable. The value is even greater.

Since today was the day when his other hand would recover, Meng Ze even took a special leave in order to witness this almost mythical miracle.

To be honest, it was not a wise choice for Meng Ze to take leave at this time. You must know that Gao Gongji was frantically looking for the whereabouts of Ergou at this time.

Although Gao Gongji was somewhat jealous of Zhe Zong because of his relationship with his aunt, this did not mean that Gao Gongji had little influence on the Fourth Army of the Forbidden Army.

Theoretically speaking, there will never be more than two armies under the control of one general at the same time. However, Gao Gongji arranged the positions of the four armies in order, so that during the period of Empress Dowager Gao, they were firmly under the control of one general. The four armies were controlled by the Gao family.

And this is the real reason why Zhezong is so afraid of Gao Gongji.

The main reason why Gao Gongji was feared was that regardless of whether Gao Gongji was loyal to the Zhao court, he had the strength and ability to rebel and overthrow the Zhao family's control over the Song Dynasty.

Just like Di Qing 40 years ago, no matter how loyal he is, as long as Di Qing has the ability and strength to rebel, he will be punished, excluded, and suspected.

Normally, Gao Gongji played the role of a loyal minister honestly. Although his influence was there, it was invisible and intangible. It seemed like anyone could shit or pee on his head.

But now, in order to catch Ergou, Gao Gongji forcefully used his influence to awaken the combat readiness of the Fourth Army. Not only were the big shots in the court almost scared out of their wits, but also the generals and majors in the capital's forbidden army. Don't dare to relax at all.

For example, Cao Ping lived and ate in front of the Xuande Gate of the Imperial Palace for several days without taking off his clothes. Shi Che felt a little embarrassed because he cooperated with Gao Gongji to deal with Ergou. Although he was praised by Zhe Zong, he still suffered a lot. How could he be so depressed when he suffered from being promoted and demoted secretly, and he lost the military power of the Fourth Army?

　Fixed, an hour late.
