Mortal Mirror

Seeing the mischievous grin on Li Ergou's face, Bai Su knew that this guy was probably up to no good again.

At that moment, Li Ergou chuckled and said, "My Lord, since that's the case, you should give me some compensation."

"Compensation? How can I compensate you further? I will fulfill what I promised you. From today onwards, you are the Second Head Constable.

Moreover, this is a newly created position, and you can freely choose all the personnel. I am taking good care of you, so don't be too greedy," Bai Su quickly put on a stern face, afraid that Li Ergou would take advantage of the situation.

Li Ergou said, "I am naturally satisfied with that, and I have nothing else to say. However, I was thinking, could the county office allocate me some sets of armor? That way, my brothers would have some protection, since every mission is so dangerous.

My brothers are limited, and I don't want them to be injured or killed. This would be a small compensation for me, wouldn't it?"

When Bai Su heard this, she didn't want to agree, but when she thought that this guy had saved her life, it wouldn't be right not to give him some benefits.

Well, let's just pretend I'm using my position for personal gain. With that thought, she snorted softly and said, "You are really glib. Fine, since you performed well this time, I can approve a maximum of five sets of Black Scale Heavy Armor and five Wild Goose Wing Blades for you."

These things are quite valuable, and the most important thing is that she can replicate them. Although the number of sets didn't meet his expectations, he was still overjoyed.

Li Ergou was naturally extremely grateful and said, "Thank you for your care, my Lord. How about we have chicken at my place this afternoon?"

"Have chicken? Sure, I want to eat your second-generation chicken. I heard your lamb is also good, so let's have a roasted whole lamb while we're at it."

Li Ergou was dumbfounded. He was just being polite. Did she have to take it so seriously? Second-generation lamb is very expensive, and even he is reluctant to eat it.

After leaving Bai Su's place, Li Ergou left the yamen directly.

At Vermilion Bird Academy, Ye Wanwan drew her bow fully, looked at the target in front of her, and then shot an arrow.

"Bang!"

It missed. She frowned slightly. She, the invincible sharpshooter, didn't expect to miss one day. If others saw this, they would be extremely surprised.

She put away her longbow, feeling somewhat confused for some reason. Li Ergou's figure involuntarily appeared in her mind.

At this moment, she was increasingly worried, thinking that Ergou-ge had been missing for so long. Could it be that he really wouldn't come back, as others said? With that thought, her heart began to feel sad again.

She didn't know why she felt this way, but just thinking about him disappearing from her life made her feel sad.

Just then, she suddenly heard a voice, a familiar voice behind her, saying, "Huh, that's not right. Even sharpshooters make mistakes. What are you thinking about, being so distracted?"

Ye Wanwan turned around and saw Li Ergou with a playful look on his face.

With a whoosh, her tears flowed uncontrollably. At this moment, this girl didn't even care about the separation of the sexes and rushed towards Li Ergou.

Before Li Ergou could react, she threw herself into his arms and said, "Ergou-ge, is it really you? You're back, you're back! That's great, that's great!

Do you know how many times I dreamed about you? Every time you died so tragically. It's so good to see you alive now."

Li Ergou was stunned on the spot, not expecting this girl to be so bold. Didn't she know about the separation of the sexes? But he liked this true nature.

He gently patted her back and said, "Silly girl, am I that unlucky? Don't you know that your Ergou-ge is lucky and has a strong life?

Don't worry, as long as the green mountains don't collapse, I won't collapse. I won't die."

Ye Wanwan felt Li Ergou's body temperature, then raised her head, her face slightly red, and wiped away her tears with her hand, saying, "Yeah, I actually still believe in you, but I can't help but worry. I'm so happy now."

Li Ergou gently stroked her head and said, "Okay, I know, I know you care about me. This afternoon, I'll treat you to something delicious and have a good chat with you."

Ye Wanwan smiled and said, "Okay, it's a deal."

After staying at the academy for a while, Li Ergou didn't return to Orange Mountain, but came to Yangchun Tower. When he pushed open the door of Fairy Qin's room.

Fairy Qin's zither music suddenly stopped. She looked at Li Ergou, a faint color flashing in her eyes, and said happily, "You're finally back."

Li Ergou smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I came to see old friends, afraid that you would be too worried."

Fairy Qin smiled, like spring flowers in full bloom.

The two of them enjoyed tea and chatted. Fairy Qin also played a piece for Li Ergou, and they were both very happy.

After spending a pleasant time, Li Ergou left first. He had already made an appointment with Fairy Qin to gather in the afternoon and treat her to something delicious.

In the afternoon, Orange Mountain was very lively. Chen Bajin, Bai Su, Ye Wanwan, Fairy Qin, and his subordinates, Zhao Hu, Ma Han, Liu Sanmazi, Xiao Qi, and others all came.

Mei'er and Jing'er, as well as his second uncle's family, were all busy cooking, stewing chicken, roasting fatty chicken, roasting whole lamb, stewing mutton, boiling eggs, and scrambling eggs, all delicious things.

The fragrance spread out, and the entire Orange Mountain courtyard was filled with the aroma of meat.

Li Ergou even took out the replicated Forget-Worry Wine. This replicated Forget-Worry Wine was even more delicious, mellow and fragrant.

Looking at the large table full of people, Li Ergou was very happy. Who would have thought that a few years ago, he was still being beaten and scolded by the landlady, and could only eat coarse grains and dry food every day. How long has it been, and he has endless fish and meat.

He could even eat at the same table with a big shot like Bai Su. He couldn't help but sigh that life is full of changes. Old Mantou was right, don't bully the young and poor. When the roc rises with the wind one day, it will soar up to 90,000 miles.

Although he hasn't reached that height yet, he is happy in his heart, because no matter what, his fate has already changed.

He raised his glass, looked at everyone, and said, "Thank you all for your concern. I'll drink this first as a toast."

A large glass of Forget-Worry Wine was drunk by him in one gulp.

Chen Bajin laughed loudly and said, "Good, refreshing! Ergou, you are lucky, and from now on, I will follow you. If you ever become successful, you must take me with you."

Bai Su nodded slightly and said, "Yes, a great disaster is followed by great fortune. Ergou, keep it up."

Fairy Qin slowly said, "Ergou, I believe in you. You will definitely be limitless in the future. I am reminded of a sentence to give to you: 'How can a golden dragon be a thing in a pond? It transforms into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds.'"

Li Ergou was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but sigh, "Hey, I'm not some golden dragon, just a stray dog. Don't praise me too much."

When everyone heard Li Ergou's self-deprecating remark, they couldn't help but laugh.

Fairy Qin's beautiful eyes flashed, but she didn't speak again, her eyes filled with more admiration for Li Ergou.

Being unperturbed by honor or disgrace, that's all.

Finally, it was Ye Wanwan's turn. She looked at Li Ergou and said, "Ergou-ge, I won't say anything, but I will always follow you, never abandoning you."

When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned, not expecting this girl to be so devoted to Li Ergou.

Even Li Ergou was slightly surprised, not knowing how to answer.

Just then, a large group of people walked up the mountain.
