Chapter 157 The Disappearing Prince of the Jin Kingdom (6k)

Yang Chang’s hunting skills have been upgraded to master level, so he has no problem surviving in the wild.

He used the gilded phoenix-wing halberd as a harpoon and soon caught three river fish. Unfortunately, each of the three fish was only two fingers wide.

If you want to be full, you have to eat in large quantities.

It is said that autumn fish should be plump and delicious. However, in the poor border areas of the Song Dynasty, few fish can survive the winter and have been caught countless times.

If Yang Chang hadn't been a skilled hunter and hadn't dug some earthworms nearby and cut them up to make a nest, he wouldn't have been able to attract these few fish that had escaped the net.

The sky was dim and the river surface was like a mirror.

Yang Changjing stood on the shore, like a leafless dead tree.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the nest and an inky black back appeared under the water.

Wow, a big fish has arrived!
Yang Chang was holding the boring handle and was about to stab when he suddenly heard a strong sound of wind behind his ears. This wind was very different from the evening breeze that had blown on his face before, giving him a wild and dangerous feeling.

Ok?
As a veteran of many battles, he immediately realized that something was wrong. At the same time, the [Flying General] had already taken over his body.

Snapped.

The hidden arrow was too fast. Yang Chang moved sideways like a goalkeeper catching the ball. He fell heavily on the dry grass on the river bank, instantly scaring away the big fish in the nest.

With a whoosh sound.

The feather arrow flew across the sky and straight into the river.

Yang Chang crawled on the ground and raised his head slightly, and suddenly saw a man and a horseman galloping towards him in the twilight from the northwest.

Because of the difference in line of sight, the man, the horse, and the stick formed a terrifying giant, like a soul-catcher in a horror novel.

The cold arrow is powerful and the weapon is a stick.

Could it be.
Yang Chang was so excited that he slapped the ground for leverage and rose up like a spring.

By that time, the man was already several feet away.

He raised his mace, but his mount did not slow down at all, as if it knew he was pretending to be shot by an arrow.

The Zhaoye Jade Lion was still several feet away, so Yang Chang could only call out with a whistle while holding up the phoenix-wing gilded halberd to resist.

Infantry combat is at a disadvantage against cavalry combat, but the situation is beyond our control now.

In an instant, the Hu cavalry stepped on the autumn grass and raised their sticks to attack him.

Yang Chang took a [Centipede Step], rooted his feet and spun to dodge, while swinging his sword towards the sky.

With a bang, flames burst out.

Heavy weapons collided with heavy weapons, making a dull echo.

The Hu man on the horse was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that the handle of the "horse thief's" weapon was made of wood, and that the mace could be broken by brute force. However, he did not expect that it was made of pure iron, and the rebound force was amazing.

Through this teasing, Yang Chang also found out the true strength of the person who came.

Although his strength is not as good as Lu Zhishen, he is definitely the best among men.

Seeing that this man had a beard and was using a mace, who else could he be but Zhou Tong's murderer? He needed to mount his horse as soon as possible and use [Suppressing Qi and Prisoning Force] to restrain his opponent.

This was the most murderous act Yang Chang had committed since the expedition against Tian Hu.

Just as he fought with his opponent, the Hu man raised his stick and hit him on the back, giving him no chance to breathe.

Yang Chang had the [Centipede Step] and [Strength of a Tiger], and he could move easily even in armor. He took advantage of the critical moment when the Hu man was about to strike with his stick and stabbed him in the heart at a tricky angle.

It's too late, but it's soon.

The bearded man uttered something incoherent, which from the tone seemed to be a swear word, and at the same time, he withdrew the attack when he was about to throw the stick.

Such a quick reaction amazed Yang Changdu.

The Hu man raised his club to pick up the boring head, and then pressed the mace back, trying to entangle the gilded halberd and tear it off with force. Yang had the strength of a tiger and realized the Hu man's intention immediately, so he took advantage of the situation and wrestled with him.

The two men, one above and one below, put all their strength into their weapons, and neither of them gave in.

It's like a copper vat meeting an iron urn; neither is weak at all.

When the Hu people saw that his three moves did not work, he was furious. He had the advantage of being in a high position, and if he fought on the ground he would suffer a loss.

Why does this thief, who is so powerful, make a living by stealing horses?

The Han people are so treacherous, just kill them first!
Seeing that he was no match for the opponent, the Hu people immediately revolved their weapons to deflect the boring heads, pulled the reins, turned their horses around, and retreated to create some distance.

He wanted to win by taking advantage of the horse's acceleration, but when he was about to lead the horse to turn around, he heard the neighing of the Zhaoye Jade Lion, and he unconsciously turned back to look.

Yang Chang stretched out his hand, grabbed the saddle with one hand, jumped up, and then landed steadily on the horse's back.

The situation of being in a superior position ended at this moment.

"Huluhuku."

No matter how the Hu man shouted, Zhaoye Jade Lion completely ignored him, as if it didn't know him.

Afterwards, Yang Chang rode out on his horse. Seeing that he could no longer distance himself from him, the Hu man turned around and raised his club to fight his horse. He thought, "You have voluntarily given up your flexible steps. How can you be my opponent on horseback?"

Innocent!

The Jade Lion of Zhaoye flashed like white light, and the bearded Hu man rushed forward with his mace, trying to kill Yang Chang with one blow.

But Yang's moves were faster than his. His first move was a powerful and overwhelming cover strike, which finally landed on the mace accurately and fiercely, causing sparks to fly again.

Suppressed by the [Qi-Calming Prison Force], the Hu people started swearing again.

"Gurgle."

"It's no use cursing my mother, I swear to kill you today!"

Yang Chang could not understand the Hu language, he only knew that he had to kill the enemy. At the beginning, he used all his powerful skills, and the Hu man was forced to defend passively, completely losing his initial prestige.

Even so, the battle did not go smoothly.

Although Yang Chang had the upper hand, the Hu people were quite resilient and strong. They swung their maces like ordinary spears or sticks and were able to block them just right every time.

The most important thing is that this man has extremely strong eyesight. On the riverbank with only dim light at dusk, Yang Chang showed his flaws and made unexpected moves several times, but the bearded Hu man was able to predict them in time.

The two fought for more than ten rounds and were evenly matched.

Seeing that they could not defeat the enemy by force, the Hu people took the initiative to defend and consume the opponent, but they found that the opponent's strength was like a river and he had endless energy in an instant.

I thought he was a horse thief, but I didn't expect to meet a strong enemy.

Since he couldn't kill the monster alone, he needed the help of his companions. He shouted into the valley in between attacks, and the sound was like a wolf howling.

Yang Chang did not interrupt him when he saw this. He had guessed that this person was calling for his companions. He thought that it would be a good idea to call them and kill them all at once. It would not be in vain that he had been chasing them for so long.

You all had a part in killing my companions!
Afterwards, the two men clashed with their clubs, and Yang Chang still used his [Qi-Calming Prison Force] to suppress him. The bearded Hu man knew that his horse was weak and he could not escape, so he had to hold on and wait for reinforcements.

Not long after.

The Hu people on the slope were howling and rushing down like a flock of sheep.

They chattered and shouted nonsense, and rushed over with dust rising up, as if they wanted to tear Yang Chang to pieces.

Yang Chang was not afraid at all when he saw this. Instead, his pores stood up with excitement. When he was surrounded by the Hu people in the center of Gai, he activated his passive skill [Rampant Dance].

Wipe, wipe, wipe.
The phoenix-wing gilded halberd that was restrained by the mace was now dancing in the night, casting a residual shadow like an outward-flowing murderous aura.

No matter how skilled these Hu people were in archery and horse riding, they were like children who had not grown up in front of Yang Chang, and they could almost kill a warrior from the tribe with one arrow.

Even though there was such a huge disparity in fighting power, and even though they knew they would die if hit by the boring blades, not a single one of these Hu people retreated. They thought it was an honor for their leader to have died in battle, and even pushed the bearded man to the periphery, while some of them shouted loudly in the Hu language.

Yang Chang opened fire at full force, killing more than twenty people in a short moment and was almost uninjured.

Such a powerful man is the best in the entire Jin Kingdom. If you can't defeat him, you can only cover the leader's escape and have a chance to make a comeback later.

This bearded Hu man was of noble status. He was the original owner of the Zhaoye Jade Lion and Wanyan Aguda's half-brother Wanyan Jiemu.

In July, Wanyan Jiemu was suppressing a rebellion in Xijing. It happened that Aguda sent an envoy to enter the Song Dynasty through Yanmen. So Wanyan Jiemu personally led dozens of personal soldiers to escort him to Daizhou.

The delegation had to first go to Gaoyang Pass to meet Tong Guan, and then go south to Tokyo Bianliang to discuss the attack on Yanjing. It was estimated that the whole process would take several months.

Wanyan Jiemu had the important task of guarding Xijing and could not accompany the delegation to go deeper into the Central Plains. Seeing that the scenery of Daizhou was very different from that outside the Great Wall, he disguised himself as a hunter and secretly stayed inside the Great Wall, traveling around the border towns to hunt for fun.

After completing the hunting trip at Chenghou Mountain, Wanyan Jiemu planned to go around the northwest of Daizhou the next day, and then cross Ningwu to reach Wuzhou, which belonged to Xijing. However, she unexpectedly discovered that there were soldiers surrounding the mountain.

Jiemu didn't know whether they were enemies or friends, so she decided to strike first and test the fighting power of the Song army. In the end, she concluded that they were not as good as the Jin soldiers, but not as bad as the Liao people said.

Now that she had experienced Yang Chang's martial arts and watched him kill his own soldiers like slaughtering cattle and sheep, and thinking back to his wanton behavior two days ago, Wanyan Jiemu was now filled with fear.

If there really is such a strong man in the Song Dynasty, I will tell this to Nianhan and tell him not to look down on the Song people anymore.

Most of these Jin nobles looked down on the Song people. How could there be heroes in a country that only paid annual tribute to the Liao and lived in peace?

Two years ago, Ma Zheng led an envoy to Liaodong to form an alliance. Aguda hosted them for a month. They hunted and lived together at that time. Ma Zheng's son Ma Kuo performed well in archery.

In order to show his friendship, Aguda issued an order that when the Jurchens encountered wild beasts during hunting, they were not allowed to shoot the first arrow, and this right should be given to the envoys of the Song Dynasty.

Ma Kuo withstood the pressure and successfully shot the first prey during the first group hunting, winning the respect of the Jurchens and the title of "Yeli Mali".

Wanyan Jiemu was standing by at the time, and he resisted the urge to provoke Aguda.

There were actually many Jurchen men with archery skills as good as Ma Kuo's. If it were not for the need to form an alliance to fight against the Liao, there would be no need to say these compliments.

And now, Jaya was shocked.

Yang Chang, who was surrounded in the center of Gai, was in a killing mood. Even if his followers tried their best to delay him, it would only take a moment.

The thief has a horse that can run a thousand miles a day. Whose horse can outrun it?

If he escaped from the Song people, wouldn't he be laughed at by his brothers and friends when he returned? This was not in line with his fierce and fearless personality.

Wanyan Jiemu was pushed to the periphery and had no intention of escaping at all.

He frowned and thought for a moment, then silently took off the carved bow at his waist.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Several arrows were fired at once.

If you can’t beat them, attack from behind.

Yang Chang was in the middle of a killing spree at that time, so he didn't have to worry about the hidden arrows from the outside, as the [Flying General] would help him dodge.

It was not until the surrounding Hu people were shot by arrows and fell off their horses that Yang Chang realized that the bearded Hu man was ruthless and could not distinguish between friend and foe in order to plot against him.

OK OK.

Is that how you play?
Are you bullying me because I'm surrounded and in a panic?

Are you bullying me because I don't have remote means?
At this time, the number of Hu people around Yang Chang was decreasing, and the left front automatically left a vacancy, and no one helped him to "block the arrows" anymore.

Wanyan Jiemu was about to draw the bow again when two cold lights suddenly flashed in the crowd and shot straight towards his head and chest.

This is so fast!
Brush brush brush.
Wanyan Jiemu had amazing eyesight. He dodged and blocked with his bow. Unfortunately, he was able to dodge the first two flying knives but not the third one that locked his throat.

The flying knife came so suddenly. Who could have thought that the beast surrounded by a pack of wolves would still have the energy to deal with the enemies outside?

The most important thing is that Yang Chang hid it too deeply. He had fought with Wanyan Jiemu for nearly twenty rounds before, but he did not show that he had this unique skill at all.

When Wanyan Jiemu was shot to death, only a few of his followers were left. At first, they showed their willingness to die for their master, but they fled one after another after Jiemu's death.

Even though Yang Chang had "My Heart is Bright" in his mind, he did not let any enemy go at this time. With the speed advantage of Zhaoye Jade Lion, he easily killed the three or four deserters.

[Gain gun and stick experience. Use it to improve your gun and stick skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard.]

[Gain riding experience. Use it to improve your riding skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard.]

[Gain hunter experience. Use it to improve hunter skill proficiency. Please choose to use or discard.]

Weapon experience, riding experience, and hunter experience are almost standard features of these fallen small fry, but it indirectly reflects that these people have high quality.

Yang Chang came to Wanyan Jiemu's body, first pulled out the bloody flying knife from her throat, gently wiped the blood off the dead person's coat, and finally reached out to touch the corpse.

This behavior is just like the various strange rituals performed by the operator before touching a corpse in a game, hoping that the BOSS will drop top-quality items.

The Hu man in front of him is very powerful, and the items he drops will definitely not be ordinary attributes and skills, but Yang Chang’s current attributes are already very strong, so he is afraid that he will drop something like Luan Tingyu’s [Invincible].

Good stuff, can't use it, very hurt. [Obtain the bear mark, after using it, it can increase strength and endurance, please choose to use or discard. ]

Dual attributes? Good stuff!

Yang Chang was happy at first, but then worried. He frowned and pondered. This thing also increases strength? Will it be the same as [Power of a Tiger]?
really!

[Note: The Bear Mark has some similar properties to the Tiger's Strength, but the strength effect is slightly lower than the Tiger's Strength. After use, the original properties will be replaced.]

If the effect is not as good as mine, then what's the point of me?

give up!

Just when Yang Chang was feeling disappointed, the next item dropped and his eyes lit up.

[Obtain Eagle Vision Owl Watch, which can improve your eyesight after use. Please choose to use or discard. 】

eyesight?

Could it be that this thing is what these Hu people rely on?

use!

[Obtain the corpse's obsession. After using it, you can learn the biggest secret of this corpse before its death. Please choose to use it or discard it. ]

[The Song people are very strong, don't underestimate them! ]

Well, you died in vain.

It's not that the Song people are strong, it's that the brothers are strong.

The three drops were picked up quickly, and there was a small flash on the Hu man’s chest, which was the withdrawal reward that was given up.

It's a one-time thing anyway, so let's see what it is.

[Advancement Bear Pill, after taking it, you can break through the upper limit of strength, and improve the original strength with training. Note: For those with strength attributes, taking the Advancement Bear Pill is ineffective. ]

Yang Chang's mouth curled up when he saw the first half, but when he got to the annotation part, he looked bitter. Could it be that this was not prepared for him? However, raising the upper limit was more cost-effective than taking one-time pills.

Go back and give it to Wu Song?

He had to use the [Eye of Insight] to take a look first, otherwise it would be a shame to waste it. However, the [Eye of Insight] had too much power, and Yang Chang didn't dare to use it recently.

Save it for later.

He cut off Jiemu's head and tied it to the horse's neck, then washed his hands and face by the river, then mounted the horse and returned to Xinzhou overnight.

After two days of pursuit, the revenge was finally achieved.

Yang Chang was already satisfied at this time and no longer had the heart to grill those small fish.

As for the self-proclaimed "my heart is bright", the fact that he just chopped off the head of Jiemu was completely trained on the battlefield, which is fundamentally different from Sun Erniang's black shop.

Moreover, Yang Chang beheaded the head not to show off his merit, but simply to commemorate Zhou Tong.

The autumn wind is bleak at night, secretly killing all things.

Yang Chang rode his horse slowly southward and suddenly found that the road ahead was extremely clear. He initially thought it was the bright moonlight until he looked up and saw dark clouds covering the sky.

What's going on?
Yang Chang decisively touched his eyebrows and finally found the reason.

Name: Yang Chang

Cultivation: Mortal

Fate: Corpse collector

Possessing attributes: Strength of a tiger, One person can hold ten thousand, Leader, Flying General, Iron Wall, Eagle Eyes and Owl Vision (Like an eagle during the day and an owl at night, greatly enhanced eyesight and night vision)

Skills: Good cook, expert hunter, expert sleight of hand, master horseman, master farmer, expert in boxing and kicking, master swordsman, master spearman, minor sumo wrestler

Possess special skills: Centipede Step, Meteor Crusher, Eye of Insight, Calming Power, Frenzy, Upside-Down Hook
I didn't notice it when I touched the corpse just now, but after reading the explanation, I realized how powerful the new attribute is. [Eagle Eyes and Owl Vision] not only allows for long-range vision, but also has night vision capabilities.

Yang Changxin thought that if he were to be a scout, he wouldn't even have to worry about binoculars and night vision goggles. No wonder the Hu people were able to frequently defend against his strange moves. It turned out that they had such good attributes.

This person speaks nonsense, is he from Liao or Jin? He is definitely not an unknown person.

Who is he?
"Who is he?"

"I don't know, but judging from his attire, he should be the leader of this group."

"They are dressed like barbarians, they look like barbarians, and they are at war with the Song army?"

"Anyway, everything is uncertain in Daizhou."

On the afternoon of the second day after Yang Chang left, Tian Bao and Chen Xuan, along with twenty or thirty followers, fled into Daizhou in panic, and by chance they arrived at the banks of the Yangwu River.

Seeing the corpses of the Hu people on the ground, the two men were drawn back to their thoughts. They felt that Daizhou, where they were now, was not safe either, and they had not escaped the pursuit range of the Liangshan army.

Just as Tian Bao was about to leave the place of trouble, Chen Xuan's eyes turned and a plan came to his mind.

"Second Lord, I heard that Liao people often appear in Daizhou. Why don't we just take some tokens from the dead bodies and pretend to be Liangshan's army when we meet government troops? If we meet Liao people, we can pretend to be their friends."

"Pretending to be a friend of the Liao people? You're so smart!" Tian Bao frowned and shook his head, muttering to himself, "We don't even know them. Isn't it asking for trouble to pretend to be one?"

"hey-hey."

Chen Xuan squatted beside the headless corpse with a smile, took off a gold-studded wolf tooth bracelet from his wrist, and revealed a meaningful expression:

"That's why we need a token. We can use the excuse that we don't understand the Hu language and help friends in Song territory. It's easy to get away with it. The main thing is that when we go to Liao in the future, we have to prepare the qualifications for advancement in advance."

"That seems to make sense. Then we should search carefully and take away all the property of the Hu people so that they won't be given away to others."

"now it's right."

Tian Bao is stupid and has been listening to the advice of the "dog-headed military advisor" all the way. In the end, he will pick up Wanyan Jiemu's property and bring himself trouble that does not belong to him.

However, Chen Xuan does things purely for his own benefit. Not only do his suggestions have no positive effects, they even have many side effects, just like the famous lawyer "Zhang Wei" in the Love Apartment, who drags his "client" into the abyss step by step.

From then on, the second king of the Tian family began a life of wandering on the border, and later went to Western Xia, which we will not go into detail about here.

The day after Tian Bao and others left, a herdsman passing by saw the corpses all over the ground and immediately reported the situation to Gang County.

The officials of Gang County saw that they were a group of Hu people. If they were Liao people, it would not matter, but if they were Jin people, it would cause a diplomatic incident.

After all, it was hard to explain why he died in Gang County, so the principle of no evidence after death, making a big deal out of a small matter and a small matter disappear was followed, and finally they were piled up and burned to ashes.

Wanyan Jiemu, the eleventh son of Wanyan Helibo and a great general of the Jin Dynasty, disappeared quietly in Daizhou. The Jin people searched for him secretly for a long time but couldn't find him. In the end, he became one of the excuses for attacking the Song Dynasty.

Yang Chang brought Jiemu's head back to Xinzhou. The defending general Shi Ban did not know who this man was, but King Cheng and others recognized that he had killed Zhou Tong.

Seeing that everyone looked gloomy, Shi Ban called Yang Chang aside and asked in a low voice, "Yang Xianfeng, where do you plan to bury General Zhou?"

"I haven't thought it through yet. He is originally from Qingzhou, so he should be sent back to his homeland. But now that Tian Hu is not defeated, it is obviously not the right time. I can only take him back to Taiyuan and discuss the decision with Lu Xianfeng."

"I have a suggestion. We can bury him in Xinzhou."

"Why?"

Seeing Yang Chang's puzzled expression, Shi Ban stroked his beard and explained, "General Zhou died for his country while suppressing the Xinzhou bandits. I wanted to report to the court for a commendation. Burying him in Xinzhou will allow the people to pay their respects, and the vanguard will not have to carry the body on the road, delaying the important task of suppressing Tian Hu."

"That's a good suggestion, but the funeral will take a long time, and we can't stay in Xinzhou for long."

"If the Vanguard is trustworthy, how about leaving everything to the Future?"

"this one"

Just as Yang Chang was hesitating, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the tent.

"Where is Zhou Tong? Take me to see him quickly. How could he be in trouble?"

"Master, slow down."

Shi Ban and Yang Chang turned around at the same time and saw Lu Zhishen rushing in.

"Brother Yang, Zhou Tongta"

"He was here, and I was careless."

"Why should Yang Xianfeng blame himself? Who could have thought that there were ambushes on Chenghou Mountain?"

When Lu Zhishen was led to Zhou Tong's body, he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Memories of the past come flooding back to my mind.

In order to help Liu Taigong reject the marriage proposal, he disguised himself as a bride and beat Zhou Tong up. He wanted to go to Liangshan to find Song Jiang for matchmaking, but when he heard that Wang Aihu had cut off his roots for a woman, he dared not mention the matter and forgot about it over time.

If I hadn't proposed it, he would never have come to attack Xinzhou. In the final analysis, it was me who harmed him.

"I heard that a Hu person killed him. Where is that Hu person? I want to tear him in half!"

"Master, don't be angry. Yang Xianfeng has already avenged him."

Shi Ban had heard Lu Zhishen's story and was worried that he would do something rash again, so he immediately took over the conversation and explained, and suggested that Zhou Tong be buried in Xinzhou for the people in the city to mourn and commemorate him.

After hearing this, Yang Chang also agreed: "General Shi is right. I think his idea is good. What do you think, Master?"

"You are the commander, you decide."

Lu Zhishen was a man with a straight mind. His anger came and went quickly. He added, "By the way, this place is close to Mount Wutai. We can invite someone to build a temple here."

"Good idea." Yang Chang nodded in affirmation and asked with a smile: "How about giving you a few more days and then we go back to Taiyuan first?"

"No, business is more important."

Seeing Lu Zhishen's embarrassed expression, he asked and found out that Master Zhizhen had been out for something and had not returned. He had waited for two days but had not received any gifts and the group of monks did not dare to accept them.

After hearing this, Yang Chang rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, don't feel sorry. We will go together after we conquer Tian Hu. Where is the car and property now?"

"Pull it back."

"Let General Shi take care of the funeral."

"No no no."

Shi Ban waved his hands and said solemnly: "General Zhou died for his country. The state will pay for his funeral, but I dare not accept it."

"General Shi, please don't refuse. I know Xinzhou is also in trouble."

Yang Chang interrupted Shi Ban and said earnestly, "We brothers have military duties to attend to and cannot stay for long. We would like to ask you to help us make it more glorious. If it is convenient for the general, we can go to Wenshu Temple and ask the monks to build a temple."

“That doesn’t even take a car.”

"You can deal with it yourself, or donate it to the temple."

"I can save that."

After discussing the funeral arrangements with Shi Ban, everyone stayed in Xinzhou for one more day and returned to Taiyuan on August 21st.

Zhu Wu and other brothers who stayed behind in Taiyuan were deeply saddened when they heard that Zhou Tong had died in battle, and they said that they would go to Xinzhou to pay tribute after the war.

At that time, Lu Junyi led his troops to Qi County, and Yang Chang bid farewell to Zhu Wu and went back to Pingyang by water, and then returned to Hongdong County at the end of August.

When Wu Song heard the news, he held a banquet to welcome them, and all the brothers who were on the expedition got drunk.

Yang Chang slept soundly until midnight, when he suddenly sat up from the couch.

"Officer, what's wrong with you?"

"Where are my clothes?"

"Hmm? On the table."

Hu Sanniang got up to light the lamp. Yang Chang, who had the ability of night vision, walked straight to the table to search. The gold lock and jade plaque were there.

"What are these? Are these gifts that the master brought to me?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Yang Chang took out the golden lock and handed it to Hu Sanniang, saying solemnly: "Madam, try this lock and see if it can be opened."

"How do I open it? Without a key?"

"No."
