Wang Ergou is very happy today, even feeling a little proud.

No matter who it is, if I exchange two books of words that are not worth a few copper coins for two baskets of vegetables, I think it will be a big profit.

It was rare to make some extra copper coins today, so Wang Ergou happily went to sell a small pot of wine and cut a piece of meat.

The mother-in-law and children at home have not eaten meat for many days, and it is time to improve their lives today.

Wang Ergou walked towards the village, smiling and saying hello to everyone he met along the way.

When saying hello, he did not forget to hold up the small jug of wine and a piece of meat in his hand.

Seeing the envious looks on other people's faces, Wang Ergou felt extremely proud.

This is neither a New Year nor a festival. No one would be willing to eat meat and drink wine.

Today he has wine and meat, so of course he has to show off.

Showing off all the way, Wang Ergou soon arrived in front of the house. Before he entered the yard, he shouted loudly: "Honey, come out and see what I bought?"

Wang Ergou laughed and walked into the yard, but did not see his mother-in-law coming out of the house.

He had some doubts in his heart and walked into the house while calling his wife.

After entering the house, Wang Ergou first saw his wife curled up on the ground with her child in her arms.

His wife seemed to be greatly frightened and looked very mentally disturbed at this time.

Just when he was surprised and wanted to go over to see what was going on, a man in black suddenly appeared and grabbed him by the collar!

"If you don't want to die, don't shout!"

Facing the powerful power of the man in black, Wang Ergou was so frightened that he trembled and did not dare to make any move.

The man in black took the wine bottle and meat from Wang Ergou with his other hand and placed them on the table nearby, then pushed Wang Ergou toward his wife and child.

"I ask you an answer. If you say one wrong word, you will die!"

Wang Ergou hugged his wife and child, nodded desperately, and did not dare to resist.

The man in black asked: "Did you get a book?"

Wang Ergou asked tremblingly: "What book?"

The man in black said: "A strange book made of special materials and impervious to water and fire!"

Wang Ergou shook his head and said: "I don't know, I really don't know!"

The man in black took a step forward, suppressed Wang Ergou with an extremely shocking momentum, and said in a deep voice: "I have inquired, and the book is in your hand!"

"But I searched your house and couldn't find it. Did you take it with you?"

When Wang Ergou heard this, he couldn't help but think of those two story books.

No one in their family of three could read, so naturally there were no books at home.

If he had to say that he had books in his hands, they were only those two story books.

One storybook tells the story of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and the other storybook contains a few messy pictures, which he can't understand.

The man in black looked at Wang Ergou remembering something, squatted down and asked, "Have you remembered?"

Wang Ergou nodded vigorously, and then said: "I have two story books. Today..."

Soon, Wang Ergou told the man in black what he encountered in Shendu today.

The man in black was furious when he heard that Wang Ergou had given this rare book to others for two baskets of vegetables.

"Who is that person? What's his name? What does he look like?"

Wang Ergou replied: "I don't know him. It's the first time I met him today, but I know what he looks like."

The man in black took a deep look at Wang Ergou, suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist and stuck it on the ground, then turned around and went out.

The three members of Wang Ergou's family looked at the sword that was very close at hand and shone with a cold light, and they did not dare to make any move at all.

After a while, the man in black came back, but this time he had the Four Treasures of the Study in his hand.

"Tell me what that person looks like!"

…

Yangzhou City.

Since Xu Jingye's army withdrew from Yangzhou City, the people of Yangzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there is no large army in the city, naturally no war will break out, so they will naturally be safe.

As for whether they would rather belong to the Tang Dynasty or the Zhou Dynasty.

It doesn't matter at all.

Although no war occurred in Yangzhou City during this period, the continuous heavy rain some time ago, coupled with the sudden increase of nearly 200,000 troops, inevitably affected the environment of Yangzhou City.

After the army evacuated, most of Yangzhou City was in a mess.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were like two ordinary people, mingling among the crowd and helping the villagers rebuild Yangzhou City.

The two of them seemed to have endless energy, and they also worked when others worked.

While others have rested, they are still working.

And I don’t eat more than others.

What's more important is that they are willing to help others. No matter who has difficulties, they will definitely lend a helping hand.

Because of this, in just a few days, their reputation spread around them and they became good men praised by everyone.

While working, Kou Zhong said to Xu Ziling with a smile: "Do you know what my biggest discovery is while working these days?"

When Xu Ziling heard this, he asked curiously: "What discovery?"

Kou Zhong pointed to a man not far away and said: "This guy has a bulging waist. He should have a lot of money."

Xu Ziling couldn't laugh or cry.

I bet this is your biggest discovery?

I want you to return to your true nature, but I don’t want you to do your old job!

Kou Zhong chuckled and said, "It was quite itchy at first, but after thinking about it, I decided to forget it. It's too shameful."

Xu Ziling said helplessly: "You still know that you have lost your status. How much money do you want now, but you are still thinking about other people's pockets."

The two were chatting and laughing, but they didn't really take the matter to heart.

"When people who don't know see you, they think you are some kind of parent."

Just when Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were working hard, a voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

The two raised their heads and saw Ruan Ruan, dressed in purple, standing aside, looking at them with a strange look.

It has to be said that Ruan Ruan has never seen such an image of a heavenly being.

Wearing shabby cloth.

He rolled up his trouser legs, his hands and legs were covered in mud, and his face was dark.

These look like two country people, and there is no way to connect them with Ssangyong.

When Kou Zhong saw Ruan Ruan, he immediately became happy and asked quickly: "Did your master know that Zi Ling was back and specifically asked you to invite Zi Ling as a guest?"

While talking, Kou Zhong winked at Xu Ziling.

Xu Ziling completely ignored Kou Zhong and asked Ruan Ruan, "Did you come to us specifically?"

Ruan Ruan nodded and said, "I'm leaving, so I came to see you."

Xu Ziling heard this and asked: "Did you win?"

They have been busy in Yangzhou City these days and have not paid attention to the war between the two sides.

So I don’t know how this battle went.

Ruan Ruan replied: "I haven't finished the fight yet, but I have other things to do."

"You may not know yet, but my senior sister has already marched to Chang'an City in person."

"If Yuan Tiangang hadn't suddenly appeared, Li Tang would have been destroyed long ago."

Yuan Tiangang?

Hearing this slightly unfamiliar name, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other.

Seeing the confusion on their faces, Ruan Ruan explained: "Yuan Tiangang is a character who appeared after you traveled to the west."

"He is the National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty, the supervisor of the Huntian Supervisory Council, and the most mysterious commander of bad guys in the Tang Dynasty."

"All in all, he is a very powerful person and a strange person."

Hearing Ruan Ruan's explanation, Kou Zhong nodded slightly and said: "It is not surprising that one or two strange people and strangers have appeared in the Tang Dynasty for so many years."

Ruan Ruan continued: "Now this person has set up a large formation and made the entire Chang'an City disappear. My senior sister is confronting him, and I am going to help her now."

Both Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were a little surprised.
