The new era of chaos begins in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 301 The Wonderful Woman Carrying Water

When the two dogs entered the main hall of the palace, Panhu greeted him and said, "Young Master has arrived at just the right time. The General Manager of Yingzhao has been waiting for you for a long time."

Ergou nodded and said nothing, but followed Panhu to a mural.

The mural shows a slightly steep mountain with many plum trees in the mountains. There is a quiet mountain path in the middle, and a woman with short hair and a high belly is walking along it carrying a pair of small wooden barrels.

But standing in front of the mural was Yingzhao with a solemn expression.

Yingzhao looked at Ergou's gorgeous equipment, and her beautiful face showed some anger. She said angrily: "Mortal! How dare you desecrate Mrs. Lishan's treasures?! Hand it over quickly!"

Ergou frowned and said, "Ms. Yingzhao, it's not difficult for me to hand over the treasure. Please open a way out of here for me first!"

Yingzhao said stubbornly and angrily: "No! You have to hand over my treasure first!"

Ergou smiled softly and said, "Okay! I'll do it!"

After saying that, he untied all the looted treasures from his body and threw them on the floor without any care.

Phoenix flames produce armor, flying boots, phoenix bird wings, sun-shooting bow, Lengji arrows, and ancient bronze swords. These were all treasures that were once carefully stored by Mr. Lishan, but now they are all abandoned by Ergou in Ying. In front of you.

The rude behavior of Ergou made Yingzhao feel extremely distressed.

After Ergou discarded the last piece of equipment, he said coldly: "Ms. Yingzhao, now that I have fulfilled your request, it is time for you to fulfill your promise."

Yingzhao wanted to regret it on the spot, but after thinking about it, she said arrogantly: "How can Yingzhao be such a person who breaks his word! Don't worry, I will fulfill my promise. I'll clean up first. Get these treasures from me, and then open a channel with you!"

Ergou stepped on the Phoenix Flame Armor on the ground, but said: "I'm sorry! Ms. Yingzhao. If you want to delay the time, then the deal between us will be void immediately! I don't want to be beaten by the returning Lishan I'm stuck here!"

you! Yingzhao roared angrily, and then said angrily: "Rude mortal, take your feet off my mother's collection."

The Immortal Palace Manager wanted to rush forward and kick the two dogs to death, but she held back in the end.

It's not that Yingzhao has a good temper, but she knows that the human boy in front of her is really difficult to deal with. With such great magical abilities as Lishan Laomu, not only has she been unable to do anything to him in the past few days, but she has allowed him to destroy the entire fairy palace. The disturbing atmosphere makes no peace.

Mr. Lishan has countless palaces in all worlds, so he may not care that the Lishan Palace is being tormented by two dogs. However, Yingzhao, as the guardian of the Lishan Palace, how could he see his place of refuge being so desecrated? She suggested that Lishan Laomu release the prisoners of the Immortal Palace to help, and she wanted to find an opportunity to give the two dogs as gifts. The idea of ​​leaving the country.

Don't ask why Yingzhao doesn't want to capture Ergou. As the person responsible for maintaining the Lishan Palace, Yingzhao's main responsibility is to maintain the normal operation of the Immortal Palace and to arrest bandits is not his duty.

If you get an ordinary little thief, it's fine. Yingzhao won't mind kicking him to death. But when you encounter someone who is difficult to deal with, such as Ergou, Yingzhao will stick to his position and seek his own government.

Therefore, when Panhu, the dragon dog, came forward to persuade him: "General Manager, please calm down. This guy has quite a lot of magical power. It would be best to send him away as soon as possible! Don't cause any unnecessary trouble."

Yingzhao immediately went downhill, but after pausing his hoofs, he came to the mural and sang the beautiful melody with a beautiful voice. Although Ergou didn't understand the meaning, he felt the meaning contained in it. The meaning of praising a certain existence.

As Yingzhao chanted, the mural gradually changed from a cold picture to a vivid image. A woman whose appearance was unclear was staggering walking in the mountains carrying water, just like a film and television clip being played.

When Ying Zhao's voice was heard, the image turned into a pool of ripples and expanded to the entire mural, forming a unique portal that scattered light.

Yingzhao looked back and said angrily to Ergou: "The door to the Webway has been opened! Human being, it's time for you to get out of the Immortal Palace!"

Ergou didn't care about Yingzhao's attitude. He smiled and said, "Thank you! I'll take my leave now!"

Then the two dogs didn't care about anything else, rubbed themselves and jumped into the door.

Yingzhao didn't expect Ergou to leave so easily. She was about to say something when Panhu suddenly shouted: "Why did I come back so quickly? The manager, please go out and stop me!"

Yingzhao was startled and subconsciously ran out of the palace. Before she could reach the palace gate, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

When Yingzhao looked back, he saw Panhu jumping into the door of the web with a pair of boots and a bronze sword in his mouth. Even Yingzhao subconsciously closed the door too late, and could only save Panhu's body. Half of the dog's tail was cut off.

Yingzhao looked at the twisted and beating half of the colorful dog's tail, and then at the remaining four pieces of his old lady's collection. However, he felt angry, aggrieved and annoyed, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

She cried for a while, but she felt a warm figure approaching her. Yingzhao raised his tear-filled face, and when he saw the other person's appearance, he cried harder!

The appearance of Yingzhao made Mrs. Lishan, who had just come back, unable to vent her anger, so she had no choice but to let out a long sigh and warmly apologize to her frustrated young manager.

But it was said that after Ergou rubbed his body and jumped into the gate of the Webway, he jumped out of the air in another world in the blink of an eye, and fell into a pool of water in panic.

When the two dogs fell into the water, they heard a woman's scream.

After he fell into the pool, he moved his hands and feet to surface. He swam in the water and looked around, only to see that the pool was surrounded by mountain walls on three sides, with only one side open.

A thin waterfall hung from the mountain wall into the pool, and then a thin stream overflowed from the gap.

There is a low stone platform on the edge of the pool, no more than a foot away from the water.

A woman with short hair and thorns sat on the stone platform, looking at the two dogs in the water in surprise. Scattered next to the woman's hand were two wooden barrels about the size of a foot and a split bamboo pole.

Ergou said loudly in the water: "Don't be afraid of this lady, I am definitely a bad person!"

Then he swam to the stone platform using both hands and feet, and climbed onto the stone platform with just one leap.

At this time, the woman had already withdrawn from the stone platform more than ten steps away, looking at the two dogs in panic.

Ergou shook his wet arms, but clasped his fists at the woman and said, "Don't be afraid of this lady! I am Chen Ergou in Xiangzhou, who was born in a completely kind family. He came here for some reason, but unfortunately he lost his way. I hope the lady can tell me where this place is."

While they were talking, Ergou discovered that although the woman in front of him had a messy hair style and crude clothes, she was very pretty. Her skin was like cream, her face was like a delicate flower, and she had a graceful and toned figure. She was a rare and stunning beauty in the world.

When the woman heard what Ergou said, she showed some surprise. She covered her face with her sleeves and said, "I dare not hide this from the officials. This place is the boundary of Shenyang Cave in the north of Meiling. There is a servant woman in the cave. If an official asks her about the way to and from this place, she really doesn’t know."

Ergou smiled a little when he heard this, but said: "Oh? The boundary of Shenyang Cave? Is there a strong man named Shen Yanggong in that cave?"

The woman asked hesitantly: "I wonder why the officials are looking for Duke Shen Yang?"

Ergou said: "I have a friend whose wife was kidnapped by a strong man named Shen Yanggong. She couldn't find her in every possible way, but she found me. I went to Shen Yanggong because I wanted to find him."

Hearing this, the woman couldn't help but burst into tears. She choked and said, "I don't think my husband has forgotten his servant girl!" Ergou asked curiously, "But I don't know which family my wife is from? Could it be that she was also attracted by Na Shen?" Did Duke Yang come here to plunder you?"

The woman wept and said, "Uncle, to be honest, the servant woman is the person in trouble you are looking for."

Ergou said in surprise: "Oh! I didn't expect to bump into my sister-in-law here! I just don't know who my sister-in-law is, but I hope you can tell me her name."

The woman was surprised and asked, "Since you came to look for me, why don't you know my name?"

Ergou smiled bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, I don't know that I am not only entrusted by one person, but there are many brothers who are familiar with me, such as Madam Leng from brother Yang Wen's family, Atu from brother Han Cunbao's family, etc." Some of the familiar ones include He Lianlian, Li Xiuwen, Li Yunniang and others."

The woman's face changed greatly when she heard this, and she asked with a sad face: "Among the people the officials want to save, isn't there Zhang Ruchun?"

Ergou said hesitantly: "Maybe, but I don't know which family Zhang Ruchun is from? Who is her husband's last name? Don't be offended, my lady, because I have received too many requests, and I can't remember them at the moment. It is inevitable that some names of many people will be omitted.”

But the woman sneered, calmed down her feelings, went up to the stone platform, carried a bucket to fetch water from the pond, then put a pole through the bucket hanging to carry it away.

Ergou watched from the side and smiled bitterly: "This lady, please don't be upset, it's not the fault of your husband. It's just my fault for having a bad memory. It won't damage the friendship between my husband and my wife!"

But the woman said coldly: "Chen Ergou of Xiangzhou started to be literate at the age of thirteen. He is talented in poetry, and his literary talent is the highest in the capital. One word determines a good relationship, and one poem creates the lintel of the prime minister. Officials are gifted with talents. If you have a photographic memory, there are thousands of names, how could you forget even one?!"

Ergou was really surprised this time. He asked in surprise: "Madam, you know my origin? But you don't know who your husband is?"

But the woman didn't say anything, picked up the bucket and turned around to leave.

Ergou chased after him and said, "Don't be upset, lady! Even if your husband-in-law hadn't asked me, I would have rescued you!"

The woman walked for a while, but suddenly stopped and turned around and said, "My servant, I would like to advise the officials. Duke Shen Yang is very powerful. He has the courage to tear apart tigers and leopards. He also possesses many magical powers. He is difficult for ordinary people to defeat." ! If the officials go, I'm afraid not only will they not be able to gain help, but they will also lose their lives in vain! If you want to save people, you have to take a long-term approach!"

After that, the woman picked up the burden and left without looking back.

The two dogs were about to catch up, but they were wet and looked a little unseemly. Moreover, this kind of thing should not be impatient. As the woman said, it must be considered carefully.

Instead, he found some firewood in the mountains and lit a bonfire on the stone platform next to the water pool to bake his wet clothes. At the same time, Ergou went to the water pool to catch some fish and grilled them over the bonfire.

At this time, Ergou kept thinking about the identity of the previous woman.

But among the many women abducted by Duke Shen Yang, the only one who knew the details of Ergou's reputation in Bianliang City was Yang Wen's wife Leng Lady.

wrong! Ergou suddenly remembered that Yang Wen had told him earlier that a fellow member of the capital, Chen Congshan, had also lost his wife.

Although he did not go there in person when that man got his wife, he sent Liu Tang and others to deliver congratulatory gifts. Due to the tradition of this era, Ergou did not know the name of the nephew's wife, and only knew that her surname was Zhang.

It turns out her name is Zhang Ruchun!

It was reasonable for this woman to understand him so well.

Compared with other captive women, this Zhang Ruchun can be regarded as her true relative and junior.

Speaking of which, I really made a big mistake this time.

When Ergou thought of this, he smiled helplessly.

He thought to himself, that's all, he will explain it to his niece-in-law tomorrow so as not to hurt her relationship with her husband's family.

Ergou was thinking about it while enjoying the grilled fish.

As soon as he took a bite, he saw another figure fall into the pool.

The two dogs looked at the water in surprise, and saw a dragon dog with a severed tail emerging from the water.

It rushed to Ergou, opened its mouth and spat out a pair of strange-shaped shoes and a bronze sword, and then said: "Young Master! This little old man has come to help me, and I hope that I will take you in."

Ergou said in surprise: "It turns out to be Pan Gong, but why would Pan Gong come here to vote for me?"

Panhu was about to answer when he saw the grilled fish in Ergou's hands, but he couldn't help drooling and shouted: "I haven't eaten fish for thousands of years, I hope you will have mercy on me." , have a taste with the little old man!"

The two dogs were not stingy. They lowered the grilled fish and before they handed it over, Panhu opened his mouth and took the grilled fish into his mouth. He swallowed it in two or three mouthfuls.

Then, without waiting for Ergou to say anything, he ate the rest of the grilled fish without any ceremony.

In the end, the guy raised his eyebrows and said obediently, "It tastes pretty good! It's just that the portion is a little small, not enough for a little old man to fill up!"

Ergou said helplessly: "Pangong, that's my food! You've eaten it all, but you still say cheap things. Isn't it rude?"

Panhu grinned and said with a smile: "Young master is so stingy! I helped you get out of trouble and snatched two treasures from the Immortal Palace to give to you. It shouldn't be too much to eat a few bites of your grilled fish!"

Ergou looked at the two treasures and said, "I had a conflict with the Lord of the Immortal Palace, so I can only forgive him for robbing her of a few treasures. Pan Gong is a follower of the Immortal Palace, how could he do such a thing? Waiting for the robbery of the master’s treasures to come?”

Panhu shook his head and said: "Young Master, what you said is ridiculous! I am a prisoner of the Immortal Palace, not a follower of Mrs. Lishan. I'm afraid she doesn't have any good intentions when she lets me out as a helper." ! If the little old man doesn’t seize the opportunity to vote for the young master, I’m afraid the end will be dire. I thought about voting for the young master for the first time, but I couldn’t come empty-handed, so I just took the opportunity to grab these two treasures as a door gift. "

Ergou picked up the bronze sword. The sun, moon and stars were engraved on one side of the sword, and mountains, rivers, and vegetation were engraved on the other side. There were also countless small and strange-shaped seal characters on the hilt.

When Ergou was in the Lishan Palace, he saw that the sword was somewhat similar to the legendary Xuanyuan Xia Yu Sword in his memory, so he snatched it and took it with him.

Now that he had acquired this sword again, Ergou was overjoyed. He didn't care whether the sword was sharp or not, but he cared that it was a human thing.

Panhu saw the two dogs tightening their grip on the bronze sword, but said: "This is the handed down sword made by King Qi of Xia after the sword of King Yu. It can be regarded as an inherited item of the Great Xia Kingdom."

Ergou asked curiously: "Isn't this the Xuanyuan Sword?"

Panhu laughed and said: "How is that possible! The Xuanyuan Sword is a treasure of the human race. Even if I give Mrs. Lishan ten courages, she would not dare to hide it secretly!"
