Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"Or am I asking for five hundred taels right away, so they'll think they've found a fat sheep and force us to pay more?"

After hearing Master Zheng's mumbling, Dharma King Qingyang began to feel conflicted.

If the other party just wants a little more money, then it doesn't matter. At most, you can just give them a little more.

Anyway, there are 1.3 million taels of silver on the ship, so taking out a few hundred taels is just a drop in the bucket.

But if there are other purposes, it would be better to take action against these people before they come ashore.

The problem is that there is no way to determine the other party's purpose now, and King Qingyang is also struggling with whether to take a reckless action.

However, just as he was struggling, the small boats had already reached the shore.

Immediately afterwards, more than 20 soldiers came ashore and surrounded Dharma King Qingyang and more than 40 others.

At this time, a man dressed in the clothes of a thousand households walked out from the soldiers and looked at them with ecstasy on his face.

"I thought you were leaving Rencheng, but you stopped here. This is truly my lucky break!"

"I can't do it in the city, but in this remote place, hahahahahaha, I'm going to get rich!"

Upon hearing these words, Dharma King Qingyang felt a tightness in his heart!

Even a fool would know what these soldiers were coming for.

But he racked his brains but couldn't figure out how the news leaked.

Mr. Zheng and his companions were under constant surveillance by his men and had never left the room.

After coming out of the room, I followed him directly onto the boat and didn't have any contact with anyone during the trip.

As for his men, the others did not know that the wooden boxes in the cabin were filled with silver.

Only his confidants Yang Wen and Yang Wu knew about it, and they would definitely not betray him.

So, what exactly is the problem?

Just when Dharma King Qingyang was puzzled, the captain suddenly spoke:

"Huang Cheng, look carefully, is this the ship?"

When the captain spoke, a man immediately walked out from the group of soldiers. The strange thing was that he was wearing casual clothes.

As soon as he came out, the man came to Master Zheng with a proud look on his face.

"Mr. Zheng, you didn't expect that!"

"It's you!!"

Seeing this man's appearance, Master Zheng's face immediately turned gloomy.

"Yes, it's me. You'd never guess I'm from Rencheng!"

Huang Cheng mocked proudly, and then immediately came to the captain.

"Master Qianhu, this is the ship. The cabin is filled with boxes of silver, probably hundreds of thousands of taels."

"That day, several of us boatmen managed to escape from the ship with great difficulty. I was worried that he might escape, so I immediately came to report to you."

Dharma King Qingyang, who was originally full of doubts, immediately understood after hearing this.

Damn it, I never expected that the problem would be caused by these escaped boatmen.

Just when Dharma King Qingyang was filled with resentment, Qianhu burst into laughter.

"Good, very good! Brothers, there are hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on this ship. Do you want some?"

"Think, think, think!"

Hearing the soldiers' answers, Qianhu smiled with satisfaction again, and then continued:

"Okay, follow me. After we finish this job, why would we still be soldiers? From now on, you won't be peasant soldiers anymore."

"In the future, we'll all be wealthy landowners, with beautiful women at our fingertips, and endless wealth and splendor! Isn't that wonderful!"

Just as the captain was boosting morale, Master Zheng whispered:

"Your Majesty, there is no time to lose. Give the order to attack immediately. We have more people than them now. Let the believers hold them back first."

"Let's take advantage of the chaos and escape. Otherwise, once they get off the boat, let alone escaping, we might even lose our lives. By then, it will be too late!"

Dharma King Qingyang also understood that what Master Zheng said was correct, so he immediately gave the order without any hesitation.

However, he didn't know that the captain on the opposite side was also quite decisive and also gave the order to take action.

"Do it!"

"Do it!"

Two orders sounded at the same time, and both sides immediately took action.

But at this moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from the river.

call out!

As the sound rang out, a sharp arrow pierced the sky and shot accurately into the crowd.

Before Dharma King Qingyang could react, he found that Yang Wu, who was standing next to him, had collapsed to the ground, holding his chest and died.

"Yang Wu!!"

Dharma King Qingyang shouted loudly, and was ready to fight with the soldiers in anger.

But at this moment, Master Zheng's voice came to his ears.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Dharma King Qingyang's heart sank, and before he could see clearly what was happening, he felt someone pulling him.

As a result, when he pulled it, an arrow happened to fly past him, and he felt a chill on his back.

If Master Zheng had not pulled me back in time, I would have been shot to death by this arrow.

"Master..."

Dharma King Qingyang was about to say something when Master Zheng interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, we can't stay here for long. Let's go!"

Then only thirty people were left to fight against the soldiers, and the rest were taken away with them.

However, they had not been running for long when Master Zheng's body went limp and he fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, I can't run away with my legs. Please go first! You will only be a burden if you take me with you."

In fact, not only was Master Zheng really unable to run fast, he also wanted to take this opportunity to escape.

There would be no danger for him to stay, but if he followed Dharma King Qingyang, he would be in great trouble.

Moreover, it is indeed dangerous for Dharma King Qingyang to bring him along, as he will be easily caught up.

According to the personality that Dharma King Qingyang has shown in the past, he would definitely not take risks for him at this time.

When Master Zheng thought that he would not have to practice anymore and could have a good rest to recuperate, he could not help but feel happy.

During this period of time, he was really tired both mentally and physically. However, although imagination is indeed rich, reality is very skinny.

Just as Master Zheng was imagining the easy life ahead, Dharma King Qingyang made an unexpected move.

I don’t know how he didn’t choose to give up on Master Zheng at such a critical moment.

While Master Zheng was looking confused, Dharma King Qingyang actually ordered his men to carry him up.

"Master, you saved my life, how could I abandon you? Don't worry, if we want to leave, we can leave together!"

Hearing these touching words, Master Zheng roared in excitement.

"I fucking thank you all eighteen generations of ancestors!!"

Although he cursed in his heart, Master Zheng had no choice but to accept his fate and follow Dharma King Qingyang.
