Traveling through time and space to become a child, supporting the family by catching fish and shrim

Chen Lang clapped his hands and the rain of arrows stopped.

Except for a few important leaders such as Bai Qin, all other members of the Red Lotus Cult fell to the ground dead.

Bai Qin's mood was extremely complicated.

Hatred, self-blame, anger, fear...

There are so many different things.

He never imagined that a scholar doing business could mobilize such a large number of archers.

But then again, before setting off, several bosses had reminded him not to underestimate Chen Lang.

It was his own arrogance that led to the innocent deaths of so many brothers.

"Ahhh!"

Bai Qin roared angrily and rushed towards Chen Lang.

In an instant, two arrows landed in front of him, only a few inches away from his toes.

Bai Qin stopped abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The night was so dark, yet the crossbowmen hiding in the darkness could still have such terrifying accuracy!

Chen Lang smiled calmly and said, "Although I wanted to capture them alive, those people didn't completely obey my orders."

"Especially if you do anything that endangers my life, they will shoot you without hesitation."

"If I were you, I would surrender."

Bai Qin angrily snarled, "Bah! The Red Lotus Cult only has followers who died in battle, never those who surrendered."

"As a member of the Red Lotus Cult, I, Bai Qin, will never surrender to you."

Hearing this, Chen Lang's expression changed slightly.

"You said you were from the Red Lotus?"

Bai Qin said fiercely: "I never lie!"

Chen Lang muttered, "That's not right. How could the Red Lotus Cult... do this to me..."

"plum……"

Chen Lang wanted to ask about Li Qing's condition, but he swallowed the words back when they came to his lips.

Because Chen Lang remembered that the last time he met Li Qing, she once said that the Red Lotus Sect was no longer the same Red Lotus Sect, and she went back to regain control of the Red Lotus Sect.

If Li Qing regains control, the Red Lotus Cult will definitely not attack him.

And if he took action against himself, it meant that Li Qing might have already...

Thinking of this, Chen Lang became even more determined to capture the man in front of him alive.

Bai Qin and the few surviving members of the Red Lotus Sect also realized Chen Lang's intention.

One of them suddenly rushed towards Chen Lang without any warning, and shouted loudly: "Brother Bai, run!"

Immediately afterwards, the rest of the people also rushed over to give Bai Qin a chance to escape.

Although Bai Qin was heartbroken, he also knew that now was not the time to pursue life and death together. His brothers were risking their lives to give him a chance to escape. If he missed it, he would truly let down his brothers' kindness.

So Bai Qin turned around and ran.

And while running, he gave Rui Xin a dart.

The dart was both concealed and swift, and Fu Bin, who was controlling Rui Xin, was completely unaware of it. It was not until the blood Rui Xin spat out dripped onto the back of his hand that Fu Bin suddenly reacted.

However, it was too late. Not only did the dart pierce deeply into Rui Xin's throat, but it was also filled with a deadly poison that would kill instantly upon impact. Even a Daluo Jinxian could not save Rui Xin now.

Fu Bin threw Rui Xin's body aside and went straight to chase Bai Qin.

Chen Lang came up to Xu Mengru and asked with concern, "Miss Xu, are you okay?"

Xu Mengru hugged Chen Lang directly and whispered, "Mr. Chen, let me hold you for a while, just for a while."

Chen Lang thought she was frightened by such a cruel and bloody scene and was a little dazed. He didn't think about anything else. He patted her back gently and said, "Miss Xu, it's okay. It's all over."

Xu Mengru hugged him tightly, as if she wanted to rub her body into Chen Lang's.

But the whole process only lasted a few breaths.

Xu Mengru left Chen Lang's embrace and said apologetically, "Mr. Chen, it's all my fault. If I hadn't insisted on coming..."

Chen Lang waved his hand and said, "Miss Xu, it's all in the past, so let's not talk about it anymore."

"And to be honest, I also have some responsibilities."

"I underestimated Rui Xin. I didn't expect he was actually colluding with the Red Lotus."

Xu Mengru glanced at Rui Xin's body not far away and said, "Mr. Chen, this whole thing might also be related to the Min family."

Chen Lang raised his eyebrows and said, "I'll let Ning Wenxu investigate. If it's really related to the Min family, then they've taken the initiative to break the bottom line, and I'll make them pay the price."

"But the most important thing now is to go home."

"Come here, escort Miss Xu to the carriage."

Xu Mengru said, "Mr. Chen, aren't you going back?"

Chen Lang said, "I'll be back after I collect my tail. You go back first."

Xu Mengru didn't ask any more questions. She bowed to Chen Lang and walked towards the carriage.

Not long after Xu Mengru left, Fu Bin ran back breathlessly and said apologetically, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, I couldn't catch Bai Qin back."

Chen Lang said: "There's nothing to be sorry about. It's just that the guy was too fast."

"And if anyone really wants to apologize, it should be me."

"It was my negligence that put you in danger and nearly died here."

Fu Bin hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen, please don't say that. I already feel guilty for not protecting Miss Xu. Now even Bai Qin has run away. I really..."

Chen Lang smiled and said, "Then we'll cancel each other out. No one will say anything."

Then he pointed at the corpses of the Red Lotus Sect on the ground and said: "These are all merits. Let the brothers collect the bodies and take them to the government office to claim the reward."

"A Red Lotus Cult member is worth five taels of silver. If they are registered, they are worth ten taels."

"There should be at least 20 or 30 registered Red Lotus followers here. That's a pretty good income."

"All the money we earn will be distributed among the brothers."

Fu Bin was moved and grateful. He bowed and said, "Fu Bin thanks Master Chen for his kindness on behalf of the brothers."

Chen Lang waved his hand and said, "Brothers, it's too formal to say this."

"But Fu Bin, things might not be peaceful for a while. You have to help me keep an eye on Xu Mengru. We can't let a situation like today happen again."

Fu Bin patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Master Chen. If you put Miss Xu in danger again, my brothers and I will bring our heads to you!"

At this time, He Jinling drove over in another carriage. Chen Lang patted Fu Bin on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave this place to you. I'll leave first."

Fu Bin said, "Mr. Chen, take care!"

After Chen Lang boarded the carriage, he asked, "He Jinling, ask Madam to give you some money tomorrow to distribute to the Dingbian troops going into battle tonight. Let's give each person twenty taels."

He Jinling said, "I've made a note of it."

Chen Lang frowned and continued, "Also, write a letter to Uncle San and ask him about the situation with the Red Lotus Sect."

"I remember when I was on a diplomatic mission to the Liao Kingdom, Third Uncle once said that he would solve the problem of the Red Lotus Cult."

"But now it seems that the Red Lotus Cult is becoming more and more powerful."

"Ask about Third Uncle Qing's recent situation. If anything happens to her, I will be responsible for destroying the Red Lotus Cult!"
