Me and countless me.

Chapter 323 Meng Yulou's Melancholy
False honey trap: a couple set up a trap to deceive people.

The real honey trap: After the honey trap jumps out of the big pit of 007's work, it kicks you back in.

Being the emperor and the blessing of being an official in the heaven, he is now more and more clear that the worry of their Li Ke is not outside, but in the heaven, in the Lingxiao Palace! In the Chinese ancestors they love and the gods of resistance and beautiful vision! One Li Ke on his side became the cattle and horses of the heaven, and the other Li Ke became the cattle and horses of the heaven! If all the Li Ke became the cattle and horses of the heaven, what is the black fog space? Is it the black fog space formed by the resentment of the cattle and horses who died without a burial place!
He, Li Ke, wants to rise up and shout that those gods who work better than him are Aqina and Saishehei (pigs and dogs).

For a moment, Li Ke remembered the traditional time travelers who killed gods and demons, and who would defy heaven, destroy heaven, change heaven, and break heaven when things didn't go their way. For a moment, he wanted to go crazy.

but--

"God Haotian is eager for me to overthrow him..."

Li Ke, with a stiff body, thought about this matter, sighed helplessly, then took the sword from the old man with some hesitation, and waved to Meng Yulou.

"Then forget it... I'm not saving people for money. Consider this the sword I bought, and I'll repay you later."

Li Ke took the sword, clasped his fists and bowed to the old man, then prepared to slip away.

However, this sword was extremely sharp, and Li Ke did not intend to run around the street with the sword in his hand. He saw that the sandalwood suddenly split again, revealing a jeweled scabbard!

Li Ke looked at the sandalwood, then looked at the stunned people, and spoke speechlessly.

"You can take this sandalwood back and see what treasures are inside!"

Speechless Li Ke picked up the scabbard, inserted the sword into it and hung it around his waist, then ran directly in the direction of Yun Ge. Along the way, no matter who came to repay him, Li Ke would just bow and clasp his hands together.

Meng Yulou looked at Li Ke, then glanced at the astonished old man holding the sandalwood in his hand, but he did not break his promise. He quietly stuffed the silver bill in his hand into the old man's clothes, nodded to the maid, got on the carriage before the officers and soldiers arrived, and quickly left this troubled place.

After Meng Yulou left, the old man and other people also left. So when the soldiers arrived, only the people who came to watch the fun and the local scoundrels who wanted to steal some money from the bandits' bodies were left.

But Meng Yulou, sitting in the carriage, was feeling deep in thought. Her husband died before she had even slept with him, leaving behind only a younger brother-in-law who was less than ten years old. Her husband's parents had also died long ago, leaving her alone to look after the Yang family's business.

Although this widowed sister-in-law does not have the problem of being in a melon field, they cannot keep such a huge family business. If I remarry, then my brother-in-law will have no one to rely on. But if I remarry, then no matter what, my brother-in-law will not be able to keep the Yang family's wealth. At that time, my brother-in-law will inevitably live under someone else's roof, or even die inexplicably.

But if I raise my brother-in-law and let him take charge of the Yang family's business again, I will be old and ugly by then, childless and without anyone to rely on. I will be the one who is helpless and may die inexplicably.

Therefore, Meng Yulou had been thinking of a way to have the best of both worlds, which was to allow her to remarry and also find a good place for her brother-in-law, where he could at least learn civil and martial arts, go to Beijing to take the imperial examinations, and have a chance to revive the Yang family.

As for completely protecting the family wealth, Meng Yulou didn't dare to think about it at all, because the Yang family's assets were indeed quite large, and her husband who had never married her before also died in unclear circumstances.

But that was before. At this moment, Meng Yulou's heart and eyes were full of Li Ke. His handsome and heroic appearance and the way he saved herself made Meng Yulou's heart beat faster.

Li Ke's noble act of not asking for money also made Meng Yulou unable to help but be moved, because Li Ke really did not intend to leave without taking such a valuable thing.

Pursing her lips, Meng Yulou pulled open the door curtain and spoke to the servant beside her.

"You, go and see that old man, take a look at... that..."

Meng Yulou was stunned for a moment, but suddenly remembered that she didn't know the name of the person who saved her! But the maid beside her spoke directly.

"Madam wants you to see if Li Erlang will give the money. If he does..."

Halfway through her speech, the maid looked at Meng Yulou, who pursed her lips and then spoke.

"I remember that Mr. Pan in our locality had a maid named Jinlian. Recently, her wife said that she wanted to sell Jinlian. Lanxiang, take some people to buy Jinlian. If Mr. Li goes to pay back the money, send Jinlian to him as a maid to take care of his daily life."

Meng Yulou was a little conflicted. She was worried that no one would take care of Li Ke. After all, the threads of Li Ke's clothes were rough, and the torn parts showed that they were sewn by someone who was not good at needlework. Most likely, Li Ke sewed them himself. Sending a maid would let Li Ke know how good she was, and it wouldn't be too expensive.

The reason why he didn't send his maid was to avoid suspicion. If the matter failed, it could be considered as repaying a favor, and people would not think of the maid in the same room with him.

But if it succeeds, it will be a good story.

However, she was a little worried that Jinlian would overshadow the main character. After all, she had heard that the maid named Jinlian had a good figure and pretty face.

Her maid Lanxiang naturally knew what her mistress was thinking. She was just tempted, but that was nothing.

Because she was also moved, she started talking.

"Li Erlang is a man after all. Which man doesn't like money, power and sex?"

Her reminder immediately made Meng Yulou react and he nodded immediately.

Li Ke does not seek wealth, nor does he look at himself with lustful eyes. He is probably a person who will not be easily tempted by money and sex. Such a person is probably seeking power, so he will naturally not marry casually, and naturally will not let Jinlian become his wife.

But if the other party doesn't ask for power either...

"Where in the world is there such a perfect person!"

Meng Yulou gritted her teeth and finally decided to send someone to Li Ke.

So the servant beside her took quick action.

"Li Erlang, you are like a god descending from heaven! In just a few moves, those bandits ran away! Even the story of Zhang Fei in the Three Kingdoms is just like this, right?"

Seeing Li Ke coming back, Yun Ge couldn't help but praise him. He really thought Li Ke was brave and unparalleled, so he couldn't help but praise him.

"Where is this..."

Li Ke shook his head. There really are gods and Buddhas in this world, and magic spells are also real, so the upper limits of those generals are also very high.

His ability is not top-notch, and the Song Dynasty is still full of talented people.

At least his driving skills are definitely not as good as the Emperor of Song Dynasty!
"Let's go. This city will be in chaos for a while."

Li Ke pulled Yun Ge and walked inside. He felt suspicious about the bandits entering the city this time. Because it was too deliberate. The bandits entered the city right after Ximen Qing died, and at this time, the government played almost no role, as if they were deliberately letting the bandits in.

You know, although the officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were indeed rotten, they were not to this extent. And what about the soldiers patrolling the city?

Normally, there are soldiers patrolling and standing guard, so it is impossible for bandits to come to Yanggu County for no reason.

"But I'm leaving for Liang Zhongshu today, so whatever happens here has nothing to do with me."

After returning to Yun Ge's home, Li Ke took the luggage that he had packed long ago, thought for a while, but did not take out the gold and silver wine vessels he had hidden. Instead, he took his own luggage, wrapped the sword with gray cloth, exchanged his blood-stained clothes for a set of coarse cloth short clothes with Yun Dalang, and prepared to leave.

As for Wu Song and Wu Dalang here, Li Ke thought that he could just come back again later. It would be much more convenient to recruit Wu Song when he became an official.

He wanted to leave as soon as he thought of it, but Li Ke still found time to go to the old man's house. He put all the money he had on him for bribery into the other's room and guarded from a distance until the old man came back, then he quickly left.

After doing all this, Li Ke walked straight towards the city gate, which had been under martial law for a long time. However, the moment the gatekeeper saw Li Ke, he couldn't help but clasped his fists.

"Li Erlang, I'm very grateful, but you are..."

As he was speaking, the gatekeeper walked over and grabbed Li Ke's arm, and several silver ingots fell into Li Ke's arms. Looking at his grateful look, Li Ke immediately understood what was going on.

It's nothing more than spending money to make Li Ke give up the credit. Otherwise, the city gate official will be either dead or injured, and will be beaten with at least thirty military sticks. He won't be able to get out of bed for at least half a year.

Li Ke knew him, he was Li San, from the same village and with the same surname as himself. He was drafted into the local army a few years ago, but he did not expect that he would become a gatekeeper in recent years.

So he bowed, letting the silver fall into his sleeve pocket, and responded.

"Ah, I am going to seek refuge with my former comrade. He works for Liang Zhongshu, so I am trying to climb the ladder, right? But I didn't expect that you guys are so brave and can actually repel the attacks of so many bandits!"

As soon as Li Ke said this, the city gate officer Li San breathed a sigh of relief, and so did the others. They quickly pulled Li Ke to a tavern on the side. Li Ke had no choice but to sit down.

Li San then ordered two pots of wine, a plate of beef, some chopped cucumbers mixed with garlic, and drizzled with sesame sauce, and then some Chinese toon mixed with small white tofu was served.

Even the guy on the side took a chicken out of the pot and started chopping it with a kitchen knife.

After the chicken was served, Li San spoke with a bitter face.

"Brother Li, do you think we are incompetent and would allow bandits to come here?"

Upon hearing this, Li Ke immediately looked around, but found that the waiter had disappeared without a trace, so he pointed to the table and spoke.

"I know that you brothers have your own difficulties, but I have been away from home for so many years, so I dare not ask too much."

Li San naturally knew Li Ke's concerns, otherwise he would not have wanted to leave that day, so he waved his hand.

"It's not a big deal, it's just..."

He pointed at the county government office, then at the place where the landlords and gentry lived, and spoke in a low voice.

"It's nothing more than the county magistrate wanted to move up a level, but he didn't have much money, so he asked us to report for duty at that time."

Li Ke immediately grabbed Li San's arm and asked in a low voice.

"Why did my brother hurt me?"

Naturally, he was not afraid of the local gentry, but he didn't understand why Li San said this to him.

"Everyone on Jingyang Ridge knows that this man is a big insect. People in the city have known this for a long time. But they didn't expect that Ximen Qing was dead, but the old man was still not satisfied. Fortunately, the big insect ate Ximen Qing this year, so I think it can be transferred away. The big insect in Yanggu County can be regarded as getting rid of two pests."

Li San sighed, then spoke in a low voice.

"But Mr. Pan admires you very much. If you are willing to stay, you can at least become a captain, get a house with two entrances, and even make a lot of contributions. Today, brother, you gave the credit to me, but tomorrow, maybe you can get the credit of suppressing bandits. At least you can have a life of gold, silver, wine and meat without worrying about it."

He made crazy hints, but Li Ke was too lazy to associate with such pigs and dogs. However, he did not mean to break up with him, so he just shook his head.

After all, his parents' graves were still here, and Yun Ge and Yun Da Lang also lived there. Even for them, there was no need to make enemies with the local tyrants. He left in a carefree manner, but Yun Ge and Yun Da Lang were in trouble.

So Li Ke also waved his hand.

"My brother mentioned it to Liang Zhongshu several times. If I don't go, I'm afraid Liang Zhongshu will lose face. How can we afford to offend such a big shot?"

"That's true, but it's a pity that I can't build a career with Brother Li."

Li San also knew that Li Ke was refusing, but since Li Ke didn't want to expose his feelings, he just assumed that Li Ke really had a good connection with Liang Zhongshu, so he didn't mention the matter anymore and just toasted.

But Li Ke only drank two cups, ate some chicken and beef, and talked about some family matters such as who died, who got married, who had a baby, and who had not returned yet in the surrounding area. After both the host and the guests had a great time, they bowed and said goodbye.

He walked very fast. Meng Yulou was looking at the Jinlian she had bought at home. Just as she was about to give some instructions, she heard the news that Li Ke had left. She could not help but stand up, then sat back on the stool with a sense of loss. She subconsciously pinched the handkerchief in her hand, looked at the uneasy Jinlian in front of her, and could not help but sigh.

"It's too late after all!"

Li Ke naturally didn't know what he had missed. He kept moving forward and finally reached the top of Jingyang Ridge. However, the weather was not good. He encountered heavy rain as soon as he reached the top of the mountain and had to find a cave as a shelter.

Fortunately, there were a lot of firewood in the cave, obviously left by passers-by, so Li Ke didn't have to worry about other wild beasts here. He lit a fire, heated up the chicken and beef he had taken away, filled his stomach, and went to sleep.

However, in the middle of the night, there was a sudden earthquake and roar of wild beasts. Li Ke opened his eyes immediately and heard a whistling sound. He subconsciously thought that the tiger from Jingyang Ridge had arrived early, so he grasped the sword in his hand and prepared to fight the tiger!

However, when he saw clearly what was happening, he found that his situation was much more dangerous than what Wu Song had encountered!

Because there was a dragon and a tiger fighting in front of him!
