Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou was slightly startled, thinking that the person he was waiting for had arrived. He immediately rode the black cat out of the teahouse and onto the main road. After a short while, a group of people appeared in front of him.

It was a team of hundreds of people, all wearing armor. The leading general was relatively thin, and as expected of a frontier soldier, his eyes carried a sharp killing intent.

Before long, the team arrived in front of him.

At this moment, one could see that this general was born with majesty, giving off a feeling of imposing authority. The aura of blood and slaughter on his body was also very strong. At a glance, it was clear that this person was definitely a veteran who had fought on countless battlefields.

Li Ergou had great respect for people like this who had fought their way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Beside the general were two figures who looked extraordinary, one was a handsome man, and the other was a valiant and heroic girl. Li Ergou was slightly surprised, not expecting that there were women in the military.

The general saw that only Li Ergou had come to greet them and felt somewhat displeased, thinking that the people of Yu City must not value them, these frontier soldiers. In a moment of thought, he frowned and asked, "Judging by your attire, you should be a constable. Are you here to meet us? Why are you alone?"

As soon as Li Ergou heard this, he immediately understood that this person was unhappy.

He knew in his heart that if he said the wrong thing and made people unhappy, something might happen. After all, the tempers of these bloodthirsty soldiers were said to be not very good.

Having been in the yamen for a few years, he had long become very smooth. With this in mind, he had a plan in his heart.

He immediately jumped off the black cat, cupped his hands and said, "Li Ergou, the constable of Yu City, is here under the order of Lord Bai Su to meet the general. The city is in chaos now, and everyone is extremely busy. The road is dangerous, and having too many people would be disadvantageous.

Therefore, my lord only sent me here alone. During this extraordinary period, I hope the general will bear with us and not blame us.

May I ask if the general is Zhao Wuji, the lord of Tianjian Pass?"

When the general heard this, he felt slightly better, after all, it was good that he wasn't being deliberately neglected. With this thought, he continued, "It is I. On the way here, I saw many demonized beasts. This monster disaster is very serious. What is the situation in your Yu City now?"

Li Ergou naturally knew everything and said everything, describing the current situation of Yu City.

After listening, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but say, "The situation is a bit more serious than I imagined, but it doesn't matter. What kind of scenes have our brothers not seen? Just some monsters. Now take us to the Yu City County Office to meet your lord, and we will discuss it properly."

This general was dignified, but Li Ergou was not afraid. He tried to chat with this person, and then he discovered that this person was cold on the outside but warm on the inside and very easy to talk to. For a time, the two chatted for a while and became familiar with each other.

Especially the man beside the general, who was more approachable and loved to talk.

Li Ergou quickly learned that this person's name was Zhao Feng, he was Zhao Wuji's nephew, and his age was similar to Li Ergou's. Everyone was young, so they got along very well. Before long, he became close to Li Ergou and became very familiar with him.

That girl was also General Zhao's niece, named Zhao Ling'er. She didn't like to talk very much, but her eyes revealed a cleverness. Fortunately, she was not a cold-blooded person, and she would occasionally say a few words to Li Ergou.

Under the leadership of Li Ergou, the group rushed to Yu City. The soldiers of these frontier guards had a strong aura of blood and slaughter, so even those demonized wild animals did not dare to approach easily.

On the way, during the conversation, everyone heard that Li Ergou had actually bought a mountain near Yu City, and they were all amazed.

Even Zhao Wuji looked at Li Ergou in surprise, never expecting that this ordinary-looking young man was so wealthy.

He was even more surprised in his heart. Are constables so rich now? Damn it, the frontier soldiers fight day and night, and they are all very miserable. For a time, his emotions were complicated and he felt very uncomfortable.

Zhao Feng looked at this person who was about the same age as himself, and his eyes also flashed with surprise. After all, everyone was about the same age, but the gap in this aspect was too big. He really couldn't imagine how much silver it would take to buy a mountain.

He couldn't even imagine how this young man could be so rich. Could it be that being a constable is so promising?

Zhao Ling'er's beautiful eyes flashed, and she also carefully looked at Li Ergou. She really couldn't imagine how such an ordinary boy could be so rich. It was really unbelievable.

Amidst everyone's suspicion, Li Ergou seemed to smell a hint of jealousy. He smiled inwardly and quickly told everyone about his past.

Anyway, it was boring, and it would be bad if people misunderstood and became jealous, so Li Ergou blurted out the story of a landlord's son who was beaten every day turning over.

Hearing that Li Ergou started by raising chickens and experienced so many hardships, everyone finally turned from jealousy to admiration. Especially Zhao Feng, he was about the same age as Li Ergou. When he thought that Li Ergou was so miserable a few years ago, but now he has become so powerful, he really admired him even more.

Under such circumstances, he couldn't help but feel closer to Li Ergou in his heart.

In fact, he admired Li Ergou's strength even more. Everyone was about the same age, but this Li Ergou was able to achieve today's achievements through his own efforts. He felt that this guy was his role model.

After listening to Li Ergou's words, Zhao Wuji couldn't help but sigh, not expecting this little guy to be so powerful, creating such a big world with his own ability. He really is a promising young man.

Zhao Ling'er's beautiful eyes also flashed, not expecting Li Ergou to have such a past. After all, beauties love heroes. At this moment, when she looked at Li Ergou, she only felt that this ordinary face became more and more pleasing to the eye and handsome. Isn't it strange?

Unknowingly, everyone had arrived in front of Yu City, but at this moment, Li Ergou did not expect that there would be many more monsters in front of Yu City. They had begun to attack the city.
