Hong Yujiao turned around and flew over the heads of the crowd out of the hall, leaving only one sentence.

"Brother, I will come to save you again!"

Dozens of people rushed out of the temple, but there was no trace of Hong Yujiao.

Pang Long knew that with the girl's skill, his group would definitely not be able to catch up, so he said,

"Go back, protecting the prisoners is important!"

The hall was in a mess, with things lying all over the floor.

Pang Long checked and found that three of the opponents were injured and five were dead.

Three of our men died and four were injured.

And they were all injured by that female Rakshasa!

Pang Long sighed, "Oh my god, I have fifty masters, but I let a little girl come and go freely as if she were in an empty place. How am I going to survive in the future?"

How to get by is a matter for the future. What matters now is to find someone to clean up the mess.

He sent someone to notify the local officials to deal with the aftermath, and then he went to Hong Xiuquan and asked,

"That female Rakshasa is your sister?"

Hong Xiuquan now remembered to protect his sister, and turned his head to the side.

"do not know!"

Pang Long curled his lips.

"It's too late. I heard it all. Her name is Yujiao, and she calls you brother. If she wasn't your biological brother, would she risk her life to save you?"

Hong Xiuquan still wanted to be tough.

"I don't have a sister!"

Pang Long didn't intend to pay attention to him anymore, muttering,

"You are kind and righteous, and you are so good-looking, you are so lucky!

But everyone she kills will be blamed on you!"

Hong Xiuquan lowered his head, feeling sad, wondering how long this blessing would last.

Soon, the local officials arrived in a panic.

Pang Long showed him the emperor's handwritten edict, and when he heard that the imperial prisoner was almost kidnapped on his own territory, he was so scared that he almost pooped in his pants.

"My lord, I've failed in my duty. I'm guilty. I, your lord..."

Pang Long told him,

"It's none of your business. I'm not asking you to come here to shift the blame onto you.

We are in a hurry and cannot delay. You should bury those dead criminals.

As for the injured ones, send someone to escort them to the Dali Temple in the capital.

These are our brothers. You will be responsible for cremating their dead and sending their bones to the capital.

There are still a few injured people. Please find a good doctor to treat them, and then provide them with good food and drink while they recover here. You won't suffer any loss.

When they are able to move, escort them to Beijing, and you will have done a great deed, understand?"

When the county magistrate heard that they would not cause him any trouble, he finally felt relieved and agreed immediately.

"Don't worry, sir. I will do my best!"

Pang Long took out a thousand taels of silver notes,

"The rest is yours. If it's not enough, ask me for it when we get to the capital!"

The county magistrate thought that all expenses would have to be paid for by his own county, and he was thinking that he was unlucky.

I didn't expect that the mission would give me money. I was so happy. I took it and saw that it was one thousand taels of silver. I was so happy that my nose was bulging with joy. I hurriedly said,

"Enough, enough!"

How could it not be enough? One thousand taels of silver is equivalent to one million yuan nowadays. It is just enough to bury a few dead bodies and treat the injuries of four people. It will not cost the money anyway.

Pang Long said again,

"Find us a big boat so we can cross the river and keep this a secret!"

The magistrate nodded like a chicken gnawing at rice.

"I understand, I understand. Please rest assured when you are on duty. If there are any mistakes, you can ask me for the responsibility!"

It was easy for the county magistrate to find a boat. Before dawn, Pang Long and his men boarded a cargo ship.

When the boatman saw a group of burly men coming up, all of them looked ferocious, as well as prisoners and prison vans, he was stunned!

If the county magistrate hadn't called him, he would have thought that a group of robbers had come!

"Sir, this is a cargo ship, not a ship for people!"

Pang Long said with a stern face,

"Stop talking nonsense and start the boat!"

The boatman didn't dare to say anything more. He untied the rope, took up the anchor and set sail.

When the boat reached the middle of the river, Pang Long looked around and saw that there were no other boats in sight. He said to the boatman,

"Turn rudder and head for Jinling!"

"what?"

The boatman was startled again.

"Sir, the county magistrate didn't say we were going to Nanjing. I don't even have food on board!"

Pang Long held a knife in one hand and a banknote in the other, and said viciously,

"Which of these two options do you choose, if I can't starve you to death?"

The boatman was very clever and knew that it was useless to refute, so he immediately said,

"I listen to you!"

The boatman steered the ship and the cargo ship sailed downstream.

Because of the temple destruction incident last night, Pang Long decided to change his plan.

That female Rakshasa is extremely skilled in martial arts, and even if all of us put our forces together, we still wouldn’t be able to defeat her!

If it weren't for the muskets, many of our group might have died last night!

It doesn't matter if I die, my head is already on my belt, I can't explain myself if I miss the emperor's important event.

Although he was not afraid of someone robbing the prison van again, the emperor had instructed that this operation must be as secretive as possible. If their whereabouts were exposed, even if the mission was completed, it would not be considered perfect.

After much deliberation, he decided to take a boat down the river, arrive in Yangzhou, and then take a boat north.

In this way, everyone can be on guard in the same boat, it is difficult for others to get close, and the brothers will not be so tired.

If you are under high mental stress for a long time, you will collapse.

Arriving at a small pier ahead, Pang Long ordered his men to take the boatman ashore to buy food.

More than an hour later, the boatman came back with a lot of chicken, duck, fish, meat and other food and drinks.

There are dozens of people on board, so preparation is essential.

Pang Long asked his men,

"Did you encounter anyone suspicious?"

"no!"

Everything is ready, let’s sail!

We went to Jinling by going downstream, and it was very quick, arriving in three days.

Sure enough, the boat ride was much more comfortable and everyone was in a relaxed mood.

When they arrived in Nanjing, the boatman wanted to dock, but Pang Long refused.

"Go to Yangzhou!"

The boatman was stunned.

"Sir, didn't you say you were coming to Jinling?"

Pang Long didn't even look at him.

"Change it, can't you?"

The boatman muttered softly,

"Sir, you guys are not sure what to do. We are going too far. We are not familiar with the route!"

Pang Long said,

"At worst, I'll just die, so what's the point of talking nonsense?"

The boatman dared not say anything.

He also had good food and drink along the way. These people were fine except for their bad tempers!

From the Yangtze River, we entered the Grand Canal and when we were about to reach Yangzhou, Pang Long told the boatman,

"Go to the shore to replenish supplies and go to the capital!"

"what!"

The boatman thought to himself, this trip is going to be a blast! We can even take a trip to the capital!

Just go, this is also an opportunity, you can get food and drink and earn some money, just treat it as a trip at public expense!

He is no longer worried about anything else, but he is afraid that they will not pay him when he gets there.

However, seeing that they are quite generous with their money, they should not make things difficult for a poor person like me. Tathagata of the West, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, please bless me to get the money!

The journey was smooth sailing, and with only a few dozen people on the boat, they moved very quickly. Pang Long was very glad that he changed his mind.

It is really easy to take a boat ride. Only three people from each class are needed to watch over Hong Xiuquan and his companions. There is no need to worry about anyone hijacking the prison van!

Others can drink, chat and sleep, it’s like a god’s life!
