The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 284 Two dogs go south ()

My brother and two dogs have personally observed:

I have been separated from Xiangzhou for more than a year. Although we are thousands of miles apart, we are always worried.

Brother Yu was quite anxious when he entered Hezhou. He was afraid of betraying the emperor's favor, so he was very cautious and did not dare to slack off.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and misfortunes and fortunes may happen to people. Hui Luzhou was in chaos, and I was ordered to advance to suppress it, but did not compete. In the end, I lost my master and humiliated you. I am so ashamed! Therefore, he was ashamed to meet his hometown elders and lived in a foreign land.

Fortunately, there is a King Liao who is begging for his younger brother. He does not look down upon me as a foolish brother. He treats me as a distinguished guest and marries the prince's daughter to serve him. Even though he is wandering in the world, he is as safe as his hometown!

Unfortunately, God did not help me. Someone with the evil name Shen Yanggong occupied Meiling, robbed the people, and killed innocent people. Unfortunately, my wife was harmed by him!

Alas! I have been living in poverty for many years, full of misery and resentment, and I want to fight the Shenyang family to death, but I am unable to match him in terms of military courage and magical power, so I have to suffer heavy injuries and wait for death.

Xiesheng is not afraid of death, but he is worried that he will die and be buried in a foreign land. His lonely soul will never return to Anyang!

Thinking about it again and again, among my friends, I am the most virtuous brother. He lies down and begs for help. Meiling collects his body and buries him back home!

I hope my dear brother will think of it! Be careful!

Han's Xie Cun Baodun first

July of Guiwei year

--------------

The year of Guiwei is the second year of Chongning (1103 AD).

After Ergou finished reading the letter, he took the [Evil Karma Orb] as a token and looked at it, but looked at the sender of the letter solemnly and said, "Brother Chaogu, how did Brother Chunbao end up in such a miserable situation?"

Chaogu sighed and said: "Han Langjun went to Hezhou in the past. Although he got help from your Majesty, all the border army generals were jealous of him and never showed his talents. Luzhou was in chaos, and Qin Feng traveled thousands of miles to mobilize troops to quell the rebellion. Choose Han Langjun's department.

Han Langjun led his army thousands of miles away and was short of veterans. However, he was forced to go to war by the state and county, so he inevitably lost his army and suffered a defeat!

Lang Jun was defeated and sentenced to death. He was worried about his wife and children, so he sent me to Hezhou with gold and silver to settle down and settle down. When I returned to look for him, I chased him to Meiling in Hongzhou, only to see him fighting with an ape king. He could not win after several battles. Instead, he was seriously injured and was kidnapped by the ape king! Before he left, he gave me this letter and the jewel, so that I could pass it on to my descendants. "

What this guy said was almost the same as what was written in the letter. Ergou asked other questions, but he couldn't find much hidden information.

Ergou had no choice but to say to Chaogu: "Brother Chaogu has traveled thousands of miles to send messages. He has been tired all the way. Let's rest here for a few days. Let me take care of some things and then make plans!"

Chaogu said impatiently: "Brother Chen, Han Langjun was abducted by a monster and is in critical danger. If I wait too late to go, I'm afraid it will be difficult to even find Han Langjun's bones, so we can't delay!"

Ergou said: "Brother Chaogu, don't be anxious. I won't go in a hurry. There are many things going on at home, so I can't leave rashly. After I arrange something, I will definitely go on the road with you."

After saying this, the two dogs left the exchange without waiting for Chaogu to speak.

Yes, Ergou met Chaogu at the exchange. The so-called letter from Han Cunbao did not make Ergou very suspicious. What really made Ergou confused was Chaogu.

When we first met, Chaogu looked really dusty, as if he had been traveling for a long time.

But Chaogu didn't know that Ergou had treated the injuries of many demon-suppressing people over the years, repaired the damaged parts, and had some insights from past lives as a guide. His understanding of the human body's condition was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Ergou can still easily tell whether a person is deliberately working hard for three to five days to show off, or whether he has really traveled for several months and traveled tens of thousands of miles.

For example, Chaogu's physical condition was definitely not that of someone who had just traveled tens of thousands of miles. The reason was simple. His body fat percentage was so high that two dogs could see it at a glance, and his eyes were wrong.

What does it look like to be a person who has truly traveled thousands of miles? A great army in later generations actually practiced it personally.

In terms of physical appearance, people who have just traveled a long distance have a lean and lean body, with obvious skinny muscles, and there is almost no flesh anywhere on the body. In terms of appearance, they are better than skeletons.

In terms of mental state or the appearance of his eyes, his eyes are indifferent, sharp, and cold, and his will is so determined that he is almost numb. Unless the mood is reached, it is generally difficult to lose control or become overly emotional. It is absolutely not an exaggeration to say that the world is sober.

However, from the physical appearance to the mental level of Chaogu, it was not consistent with the fact that he had to travel back and forth for nearly ten thousand miles.

So Ergou guessed that this guy in Chaogu had eagle feathers!

Of course, Han Cunbao must have been in trouble, but he shouldn't have died in a foreign land waiting for him or someone Chen to collect his body.

After all, Han Cunbao lived to be one of the ten military envoys who followed Captain Gao to attack Liangshan heroes more than ten years later!

Originally, the two dogs didn't need to pay attention to this kind of thing. He allowed him to scheme a thousand ways, but I huddled in my lair and stood still, to see what you could do to me!

Today's Xiangzhou has long been run like an iron barrel by Ergou, especially since he has a powerful guard with more than 200 people under his command. Even the worst member among them is almost at the level of a great monk. He is definitely a top-notch master in the arena.

This statement has solid basis.

The weakest among Ergou's guards is none other than Liu Tang's brother Liu Bao.

This guy is beside Ergou. He has no shortage of famous teachers, resources, and opportunities. He himself is also a self-motivated person. After several years of training, his martial arts skills are no longer what they used to be. It is Han Cunbao who was at the foot of Wulong Slope. It is also slightly inferior to Liu Bao's current front line.

Among the group of masters who returned to Xiangzhou with Ergou, except for Xue Daoguang who left due to his status, the rest such as Li Shouzhen, Xue Daoyuan, Li Zhu, Di Wen, Jiao Dong, etc. were all members of the guard.

Among them, Li Shouzhen, Li Zhu, and Di Wen have all reached the top and are the top masters at the Arahant level. Xue Daoyuan is only one step away from the top. Jiao Dong is slightly worse, but his strength has almost returned to the level of his youth (Dawu monk level).

But if you put a few of them in the entire guard, you can't say that they are incomparable to everyone, but they don't have much advantage.

Some people may ask where Xiangzhou got so many masters?

In fact, except for the two locals from Xiangzhou who were absorbed by Ergou, the rest all belong to the demon-suppressing people themselves.

Most of them are demon suppressors from other places who have been treated by Ergou. Even some of these so-called "foreign places" are outside the Song Dynasty, such as the desert grassland, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the northwest frontier, etc.

Among them, the largest number of people came from the land of Yanyun.

Although the Great Song Dynasty is the basic base of the Demon Suppressors, the main battlefield of the Demon Suppressors is not within the Song Dynasty. The surrounding countries are the most important disinfecting areas for the Demon Suppressors.

Some people may say that as a citizen of the Song Dynasty, do you care about the life and death of Northern Liao, Xixia, Dali, Qingtang and other places? !

This is normal in the ordinary world, but for the demon-suppressor who protects the extraordinary world, it is undoubtedly a short-sighted idea.

Do you think that once the evil spirits invade a neighboring country and pollute and harvest the mortals there, they will let the fat Song go?

Stop dreaming!

Once the evil demons gain a foothold in reality and complete the horrific sacrifice, the army of evil demons pouring out will definitely sweep the entire world away in a very short time.

This is not a forward-looking prophecy, but a historical lesson full of blood and cruelty.

For example, in the era of the sages, the Quan Rong destroyed the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the Wuhu chaos in the Wei and Jin Dynasties all originated from this.

The Zhou Dynasty was lucky that there were a lot of powerful people in that era. Even though the entire Quan Rong clan fell, the sages headed by Guan Zi pushed back before the evil army could be fully formed.

The people of the Central Plains were extremely miserable during the Five Husties period. The elites of the demon-suppressing people were so depleted during the late Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms period that when the corrupted army invaded, the demon-suppressing people's strength had not yet recovered and could not withstand these evil armies. In the end, It caused a smelly smell in the Central Plains.    If it weren’t for the sudden rise of Emperor Mulan and the emergence of many heroes and lofty ideals in the world to wipe out the real stronghold of evil spirits, the subsequent Sui and Tang dynasties would never have been so comfortable.

But when it comes to the founder of the Song Dynasty, the demon-suppressing people are gnashing their teeth in hatred. This is not only because Song Taizu ruined the honeymoon cooperation between the demon-suppressing people and the later Zhou Dynasty, but also because of the lack of progress between Song Taizu and Song Taizong.

A Song Dynasty brandishes a jade ax and a car race on the Sorghum River. In the former, Song Taizu felt that the land of Nanzhao was too poor and did not want to be included in the territory of the Song Dynasty as a burden. This gave rise to the Song Dynasty's hope of unifying the northern and western regions.

From a secular perspective, this is because the Song Dynasty failed to complete its great unification, and its great cause was lacking.

From a transcendent level, the stupid Song Dynasty left three strategic gaps for the demons, waiting for the demons to open three mines at the gate of the Song Dynasty to gather troops, and then take her away in one wave in the future.

The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were short-sighted, but the demon-suppressing people could not do this. For this reason, they could only maintain the minimum demon-suppressing power within the Song Dynasty, while the main elites went to the surrounding areas to carry out cruel demon-killing operations.

Of course, this situation is not without benefits for the Song Dynasty. Even if the demon-suppressing people are killing people in the surrounding areas and countries, the Song Dynasty is full of singing and dancing, and it is very comfortable and comfortable.

It is no exaggeration to describe the benefits of the Song Dynasty with the phrase "suppressing the devil outside the country".

But the price the demon-suppressor has to pay is more shocking.

Compared with the demon-suppressing people in the Han and Tang dynasties who had corresponding dynasty armies to support them when fighting on the outside, the demon-suppressing people fighting outside the Song Dynasty could only fight alone, and the casualties they had to pay were high. Much more than our forebears.

The bigger hidden danger is that the main force of the demon-suppressing people is restrained by the surrounding battlefields, and they are unable to clear out the demon lairs in further areas. When the demon's power surges, a world-destroying disaster will inevitably occur in the future. will come.

And this is also the significance of the Mongolian army's western expedition in the future. Do you think the Mongolian western expedition is just to occupy territory and plunder wealth?

No! It was the demon-suppressing people who secretly supported the Mongolian army in launching a great purge of the fallen countries in the far west. Of course, it can also be said to be blatant, such as the Quanzhen Seven Sons directly going to support the Mongolian Khan.

The topic has gone too far.

Let’s get back to Ergou.

On the demon-suppressing battlefield outside the Song Dynasty, the sacrifices of the demon-suppressing people were undoubtedly extremely tragic. Many of the demon-suppressing people who were born in the Song Dynasty but were sent to places such as Northern Liao, the Western Regions, and Nanzhao and Dali did not quite understand the idea of ​​dying in a foreign land. They may be said to be narrow-minded or short-sighted, but in the end they still Sacrifices were made.

Most people died far away from home, living up to their reputation as demon slayers.

A few disabled people returned to the Song Dynasty. After being cured by Ergou, they preferred to stay here to protect Siming Mansion and Siming Shenjun, rather than go to die in a foreign land.

These people are the source of most of the members of the Erdog Guard.

These members are really powerful. They are basically survivors who crawled out of the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They have rich experience in slaying demons, strong martial arts skills (those who are not strong will die), and extremely determined will. But most of them are just some... An older veteran warrior.

Because many young people with good prospects have been picked up by Shi Daoren and others, Ergou is quite supportive of this.

After all, at this point in time, Xiangzhou was very peaceful and the Song Dynasty was relatively stable. Ergou rashly gathering a large group of demon-suppressing people in their prime to huddle in Xiangzhou was undoubtedly a huge waste of resources.

Of course, if the time point is moved to twenty years later, that would be a different story.

Today's Xiangzhou is a place of retirement and a place of comfort for the demon-suppressing people, but it is also a nightmare place and a taboo territory for the demons.

No matter how powerful the evil monster is, once it comes to Xiangzhou, it will definitely die ugly.

The devil in the old town of Xiangzhou deceived me. The devil is young and weak. He doesn't respect martial ethics and engages in sneak attacks and group fights! Are you talking about the law of chaos?

So as long as Ergou doesn't leave his Xiangzhou kennel, no matter how evil or alien he is, there's really nothing he can do against him unless he can get out on his own.

Ergou left the nest valley and went back to have a brief discussion with his think tanks, and basically guessed the purpose of that guy and the forces behind him.

In this regard, many people, including Ergou's close daughter Zhuge Yang, suggested that he should remain unchanged in response to all changes and ignore the calculations of Chaogu and the people behind him.

After thinking about it, Ergou rejected the think tank's safe plan.

No one else could explain Ergou's insistence, but Mrs. Yang took advantage of her being Ergou's bed partner and angrily said to him: "You bitch, don't try to be brave! Now you are no longer the loner you were before, let alone this." Xiangzhou’s great foundation cannot be separated from you, and there are four children at home waiting to be fed.

I and the others still have three unborn children in their wombs. Do you want them to become posthumous children before they are born? ! "

Ergou was silent for a while after hearing this.

Just when Mrs. Yang was trying to figure out her plan, Ergou said with a solemn face: "Madam, I know what you said, why haven't I considered it before?

But when people are in the arena, they can't help themselves.

Han Cunbao is a person of special significance to me.

When I swept Xiangzhou and expelled the Han family, I never had any hesitation or uneasiness, let alone any guilt towards anyone in the Han family.

But for Han Cumbao, I have to return a favor to him. This is not because I am claiming to be noble or pretentious, but it is a gateway related to the refinement of my thoughts and the perfection of my original spiritual energy.

No matter what plots others set up outside Xiangzhou to plot against me, I cannot hide, avoid or escape this step of saving Han Cunbao.

If I shrink back today, a disaster will occur in the future, and our whole family will have to mourn for it! "

"You..." Miss Yang wanted to say more. She only looked at Ergou's calm face and indifferent eyes, but she couldn't spit out the words when she came to her mouth. She could only cry "Ying ying".

Ergou smiled and said: "Okay! You are not a weak-tempered person to begin with, so why bother making me cry with tears! You will not damage the reputation of the Yang family as the [Iron Lady]!"

Miss Yang laughed angrily and beat the two dogs, shouting: "I'll beat you to death, you heartless one! You're so proud of yourself, but you're making us worried!"

Ergou pretended to be sad and said with a smile: "Don't use force! Don't use force! Be careful of fetal motility!"

The two of them were arguing for a while, but Ergou said to Mrs. Yang: "When I leave Xiangzhou and go south, you should be ready. As soon as I return, I will go to the capital to marry Li Da (Li Qingzhao)! Huh! That guy Zhao Ji You really don’t know how to live or die, he actually dares to spy on my housekeeper! If you don’t teach him a lesson, I’m afraid that all the young people will underestimate me, Lord Si Ming!”

Mrs. Yang couldn't help but spat at Ergou, but she said jokingly: "You want to die on your own, how can you blame others! If you don't marry a good lady quickly, but leave her to attract bees and butterflies in the capital, then Zhao Guan's family You are such a lustful master, how could you miss your swaying apricot blossoms?!"

Ever since Ergou wrote (copied) the poem "A Visit to the Garden Is Not Worth It", some narrow-minded people have speculated on the circumstances of Ergou's poem at that time. "Red Apricot Out of the Wall" has returned to its special meaning hundreds of years in advance.

Originally, Li Gefei had intended for Ergou to marry Li Qingzhao the year before, but Ergou refused to postpone the marriage, considering that Mrs. Li was under eighteen years old at the time, he was a bitch, and the family was not very stable. A little later.

And this is also the reason why Li Qingzhao has been resentful towards Ergou this year and has been somewhat competitive with him.

Miss Li is also a lustful person. She has been looking forward to marrying Ergou for a long time, but this bastard is procrastinating. Doesn't it delay her enjoyment?
