Mortal Mirror

Every time Li Ergou saw Bai Su, she was always very busy.

This time was no exception; the girl was looking down and writing something.

Suddenly, she seemed to sense something, raised her head, and looked at Li Ergou. At this moment, the light in her eyes became increasingly annoyed. Li Ergou realized things were not good.

With a quick thought, he immediately took out a small bag from his pocket, containing ten Daoist coins.

He spoke first, "Um, Chen Bajin said you've been a little short on cash lately. I have too much money and can't spend it all, so why don't you help me spend it."

Bai Su was stunned, then somewhat annoyed, and said, "What do you take me for, trying to bribe me?"

Li Ergou quickly said, "Of course not, isn't this just a gift between friends? I'm just asking for your help with something."

"Hmph, help? With your great abilities, what help could I possibly offer?"

Li Ergou immediately said with a cheeky smile, "Isn't it because the Prefect promised me the position of Deputy Chief Constable, but there's been no movement? Could you help me inquire about it?"

Bai Su frowned slightly and said, "About that matter, the higher-ups have been constantly discussing your case these past few days. After all, Yu City can only accommodate two Deputy Chief Constables at most. If we add you, I don't know how they'll arrange it, or where they'll find subordinates for you."

Li Ergou chuckled and said, "Let them worry about those things. When they wanted me to put out the fire, they were so eager. Now that they've used me, they can't just wash their hands of it."

Bai Su said, "So, they've been discussing this matter these past few days?

Right, I almost let you lead me astray. Don't think you can bribe me and get away with it. You're not the Deputy Chief Constable yet. You promised to set off with people the next day. Look how many days it's been. Can you tell me where you've been?"

Li Ergou naturally couldn't reveal the matter of the White Lotus Karmic Fire, so he could only lie, "I've been trying to break through to the Golden Core stage these past few days, but I'm just a little short. I just couldn't break through, and in my excitement, I was delayed.

But it doesn't matter, it's still not too late for me to go. I can make up for it."

Hearing this, Bai Su didn't know what to say to Li Ergou for a moment. Seeing that she wasn't speaking, Li Ergou quickly said, "Chen Bajin is still waiting for me. I'm going to Bitter Water County now. Please keep an eye on my matter for me. I'm counting on you. I'm leaving now."

With that, he didn't give Bai Su a chance to speak and immediately slipped away.

Bai Su still had something to say, but before she could finish, Li Ergou had already disappeared. Bai Su shook her head slightly, thinking that this guy was really impossible to deal with.

Then, she picked up the money bag on the table and glanced at the Daoist coins inside, and couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder so many people like to receive gifts. This feeling is really good.

Well, if it were someone else's money, I naturally couldn't take it, but since it's yours, Li Ergou, I won't be polite. Rob the rich and give to the poor, everyone is responsible, right? Who told you to be so rich?"

At this moment, she remembered something. General Zhao Wuji was leaving with his men today. She originally wanted to see them off with Li Ergou, but now, she can't find him.

At this moment, Li Ergou and Chen Bajin were already galloping towards Bitter Water County, and several monsters they encountered along the way were directly annihilated by Li Ergou.

At the Yu City gate, Zhao Wuji was in full armor, looking majestic. Zhao Feng and Zhao Ling'er were on his left and right. The two looked around, but didn't see Li Ergou's figure, and were quite disappointed.

The Prefect, the Prefectural Assistant, the Military Instructor, Bai Su, and Li Tianhai were all here. Now that the crisis in Yu City had been resolved, Zhao Wuji should also leave.

Therefore, several big figures in the city all came out, after all, he was a military general, and everyone had to give him face.

At this moment, Zhao Feng and Zhao Ling'er saw Bai Su, and they both asked why Li Ergou didn't come to see them off. Bai Su could only tell the truth. Hearing that Li Ergou had gone to Bitter Water County, the two of them looked depressed.

After all, the two of them wanted to say goodbye to Li Ergou, who knew if they would have a chance to meet again in the future.

Bai Su could only comfort them, "People meet and part all the time. If we have time, Li Ergou and I will go to the border to see you."

Zhao Feng was happy when he heard this and said, "Okay, but you must come then."

Zhao Ling'er also said, "Yes, yes, you must not break your promise."

Bai Su guaranteed, "Don't worry, if we have time, we will definitely go. If Li Ergou dares not to go, I will grab him and take him."

Zhao Wuji and the others still left. Bai Su and everyone waved goodbye. On the way, Zhao Ling'er looked at Zhao Feng and said, "I don't know if we will have a chance to meet again. After all, we didn't see him one last time."

Zhao Feng looked up at the sky and said, "The green hills remain, and the green waters flow. If we have fate, we will definitely meet again."

When Li Ergou and Chen Bajin arrived in Bitter Water County, Da Baixiang and the others had already gone out to hunt monsters.

The two didn't think much about it and went directly to the Bitter Water County yamen. Now Li Ergou's status was different, as a Chief Constable, he was at the same level as the County Commandant, no, he should be half a level higher.

The county yamen received the news, and the County Commandant, the County Magistrate, and the County Magistrate were already welcoming them. However, they didn't know that the person coming was Li Ergou. They all stared and looked, not knowing which powerful figure this Chief Constable was.

So when Li Ergou appeared in front of everyone in the uniform of a Chief Constable, it caused countless exclamations.

The most surprised was the County Magistrate. He looked at Li Ergou with disbelief in his eyes, and his expression was as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.

Li Ergou smirked in his heart when he saw his expression, thinking, County Magistrate, County Magistrate, watch how I disgust you. How you treated me back then, I, Li Ergou, will repay you in the same way.

I forgot to tell you, I, Li Ergou, have never been a gentleman. I haven't forgotten our hatred. If it weren't for you, how could I have been forced into the Candle Dragon Cult and almost died there?

So, just wait, wait for my revenge, Li Ergou, hehehe... Huh, why does this voice sound a bit demonic? Should I change my voice? Hehehe...

After the surprise, County Magistrate Liu Erhe immediately showed a smiling face and said, "Oh, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. It's only been a short time, and Brother Ergou has been promoted to Chief Constable of Yu City.

I knew you weren't an ordinary person, but I didn't expect you to rise so much faster than I imagined."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Bajin said, "Hehehe, you have the wrong information. My lord is now the Deputy Chief Constable of Yu City, it's just that the appointment hasn't been issued yet. This trip to Bitter Water County should be when he takes office."

Chen Bajin interjected in a timely manner.

Immediately, the County Magistrate and others opened their mouths wide, their faces full of horror.
