Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou's request was naturally denied. Bai Su's reason was simple: only he could do this well. With such a high hat placed on him, Li Ergou had no choice but to comply.

What made Li Ergou speechless was that when he asked if there would be any rewards for dealing with this demon disaster, the answer he received was: nothing at all.

This made Li Ergou feel quite unhappy. Fortunately, Bai Su promptly added that the higher-ups were still studying it and there should be something coming.

Only then did Li Ergou feel a bit more comfortable and leave Bai Su's place.

After coming out, Li Ergou found Chen Bajin and asked him to make arrangements for everyone to go to Kushui County tomorrow.

Time flew by quickly. After a flurry of activity, the sun set and the night became hazy.

He sighed, not thinking too much about it, and went straight to Yangchun Brothel. It had been a long time since he'd seen Fairy Qin, and he didn't know what she was busy with. Li Ergou also wanted to go there to listen to her music and relax.

Yangchun Brothel had lost its usual liveliness. After all, the demon disaster had just passed, and the city was in ruins. He didn't know how many people had died or gone bankrupt in this disaster.

High-end places like Yangchun Brothel naturally had much less traffic.

When the madam saw Li Ergou's arrival, her mouth smiled like a chrysanthemum. After all, Li Ergou was now a well-known figure in the city, no longer the despised guy who had just arrived.

He simply nodded slightly to the madam and went straight to Fairy Qin's room.

Seeing this, the madam didn't dare to stop him. After all, Fairy Qin had instructed that Li Ergou could go to her place at any time. Don't look at how much power the madam usually had, she was very obedient to Fairy Qin.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Come in!" Fairy Qin's clear voice rang out.

Li Ergou pushed open the door, and a woman's unique fragrance wafted over him. Li Ergou greedily took a few breaths, feeling his head clear up a lot.

Fairy Qin was wiping her zither. Seeing Li Ergou, she was slightly surprised and said, "Oh, what wind has brought you here?"

While sighing inwardly, Li Ergou sat down on the chair in a carefree manner. He looked at Fairy Qin and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, so I wanted to come and see you and listen to your music, so I can relax. Do you have time to play a song for me?"

Fairy Qin chuckled and said, "You, you don't go to the yamen to work properly, but you came here specifically to listen to music. You're really not doing your job properly. If it were someone else, I wouldn't agree, but for you, of course, I can."

Li Ergou said happily, "Good, very good."

Fairy Qin didn't waste any time and immediately played a 'High Mountain Flowing Water' for Li Ergou. The music was so beautiful that after listening to it, people felt comfortable all over, and their depressed mood was relieved.

After listening to the music, Li Ergou chatted with Fairy Qin. He casually asked, "Fairy, have you ever heard of the Lotus Flower Sect?"

Hearing this, Fairy Qin's expression changed slightly, and she asked with some surprise, "Why are you bringing this up for no reason?"

Li Ergou didn't think much about it and said, "Recently, people from the Lotus Flower Sect have been causing trouble in the city. These people are spreading rumors and causing riots. The higher-ups told me to deal with this matter quickly. Alas, these people are really idle, not living a good life, but wanting to go against the imperial court. They won't have good fruit to eat."

Fairy Qin's eyes flashed, and she asked tentatively, "How are you going to deal with these people?"

"How to deal with them? The imperial court's decree is to kill them without mercy. But, these people act strangely and mysteriously. It will take some time to investigate."

Fairy Qin nodded slightly. She looked at Li Ergou for a moment, and not knowing what she was thinking, suddenly said, "Ergou, you say, if, if you and I become enemies, to the point of no return, would you... would you kill me?"

Li Ergou glanced at Fairy Qin, stunned for a moment, and said with some surprise, "Why are you saying this? Could it be that you are hiding something from me?"

Fairy Qin's pair of watery eyes looked at Li Ergou, her expression was very serious, not like a joke, as if it were real.

Seeing this, Li Ergou suddenly laughed and said, "We are the best of friends, kill you, how could I kill you, but don't make such jokes, it's scary."

"Really, even if I want to kill you, you won't kill me?" Fairy Qin blinked her big eyes and continued to stare at him.

Li Ergou smiled bitterly in his heart, thinking that these women have strange thoughts, specially asking these boring questions, could it be because I didn't give money these few times, it shouldn't be, I contributed several chickens, she ate a lot of my chicken.

Old Mantou said that you shouldn't guess a woman's mind, you can't guess it no matter how much you guess, and Big White Elephant also told himself that a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Seeing Fairy Qin's pressing appearance, he could only helplessly spread his hands and said, "Okay, okay, I swear, isn't it okay to swear, no matter what the situation, I will not have murderous intentions towards you, is that okay now?"

Fairy Qin smiled, and unexpectedly came forward and took Li Ergou's arm.

Li Ergou was stunned by her action, feeling her arm weak and boneless, her close place soft, and her body exuding a unique fragrance of a woman, which made people feel a sense of excitement.

Li Ergou's old face flushed red, and he quickly said, "Say what you say, play what you play, but don't make bad jokes with me."

Fairy Qin covered her mouth and smiled slightly and said, "You, you are really a little fool, in fact, if you didn't come this time, I would have to go to you."

Li Ergou asked in confusion, "Why, don't you really have something going on?"

Fairy Qin said slowly, "Yes, there are really some, I'm leaving soon."

"Leave, where are you going, why are you leaving, isn't it good here, if you don't like staying here, you can go to my place, don't tell me you're afraid of not having money to redeem yourself, leave this to me. If the madam dares not let people go, I will let her know what the consequences are of offending our public servants, even if her backer is big, I am not afraid, rest assured, this matter is on me."

Fairy Qin looked at Li Ergou's serious appearance, her heart was inexplicably sweet, to be honest, she has seen countless people, but it was the first time she saw a man who was so righteous and so pure.

She also remembered the first time she was taken away by this little guy, the first time sitting on a tree watching the stars and countless fireflies, at that time, she never thought that this guy was so bold.

Unexpectedly, even the son of the prefect was not afraid, and let her experience a kind of romance she had never had before.

She also knew what a real newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

Perhaps only this tiger-headed little guy can do it, and this guy does what he says, if he agrees, he will go all out, even if he pokes a hole in the sky, he will not be afraid.

It's really strange, this little guy doesn't look very handsome, but the more you look at him, the more pleasing he is, what an honest man, if his identity was not special, he would definitely marry him without hesitation.

Looking at Li Ergou like this, she couldn't help but stick to Li Ergou's ear and said, "Ergou, Ergou, sister tell you a word, you must remember it in your heart. In the future, don't easily believe the words of beautiful women, the more beautiful women are, the more they will deceive people."

Li Ergou: "…"

"Go, I'm leaving soon, I'll take you to a place."

"Where are we going?"

"You'll know when you get there."

"Sister, can you let go of my hand?"

"Eh, why are you having a nosebleed…"
