Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"I saw footprints over here. Follow me and keep chasing. We must catch those two guys!"

Hearing the shouts from behind, Dharma King Qingyang quickened his pace once again.

In fact, if it weren't for Master Zheng, it would have been no problem to escape from the pursuit.

The problem is that Master Zheng has difficulty walking, and even if someone carries him, it will still affect the efficiency of his escape.

As for why he still wants to bring Master Zheng along even at this point, the reason is actually very simple: for money.

In this situation, the 1.3 million taels of silver on the ship have nothing to do with him anymore.

But he was unwilling to get nothing, so he insisted on taking Master Zheng with him.

After all, there are house deeds and land deeds worth 200,000 taels in Yangzhou, so at least we can get some benefits.

Of course, this is what he can hold on to for now. If he really can't hold on any longer, he will naturally not force himself to do so.

After walking through the forest for a long time, I could hear the sound of someone chasing me from behind.

Seeing that he had not been able to get rid of the person, Dharma King Qingyang began to wonder whether it was time to take action.

That’s right, just take action.

From the very beginning, Dharma King Qingyang had made up his mind that if he really couldn't escape, he would kill Master Zheng.

Otherwise, once Master Zheng was caught by them, his identity as the Dharma King of the White Lotus Sect would be exposed.

Although he was reluctant to part with the 200,000 silver coins, compared with his own safety, the silver coins were nothing.

Anyway, the 1.3 million taels have already flown away, so the 200,000 won't make a difference.

In fact, Master Zheng probably guessed what Dharma King Qingyang was thinking, but he did not show it.

Just when Dharma King Qingyang was hesitating, their group just came out of the forest, and the view before their eyes suddenly opened up.

Looking at the village appearing before him, Master Zheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Your Majesty, go through the village and immediately separate the believers once you enter the village, leaving only a few people with you."

"Let's leave the village from the other side as quickly as possible. Once they learn we've separated, they'll split up and search, which will help us buy time."

After hearing what Master Zheng said, Dharma King Qingyang also felt that it made sense, so he immediately gave the order.

After preparing to enter the village, he asked the seven believers to disperse, while he took the three believers and Master Zheng and fled through the village.

However, when they entered the village, they found that something seemed wrong.

The people in this village don't look like farmers, but more like rebellious bandits.

Because some people not only held knives in their hands, but some even held bows and crossbows.

When they saw them enter the village, the villagers' eyes immediately flashed with murderous intent, as if their secret had been seen by others.

Dharma King Qingyang, who had originally thought of dividing his troops, completely gave up the idea after seeing this situation.

Now with wolves in front and tigers behind, Dharma King Qingyang's heart has completely sunk to the bottom.

He even forgot about killing Master Zheng and was only thinking about how to deal with the current situation.

But soon, the surrounding "villagers" got closer and closer, and even formed an encirclement.

At this moment, Master Zheng spoke again and whispered to Dharma King Qingyang:

"Your Majesty, these people are ferocious and evil, and they don't seem kind. Moreover, they even have bows and crossbows in their hands, which are forbidden weapons."

"Possessing them privately is a crime tantamount to treason. There must be something fishy going on. Perhaps we can use them to deal with the pursuers outside."

After whispering a greeting to Dharma King Qingyang, Master Zheng immediately turned to look at the villagers.

"Everyone, we didn't mean to break into the village. We were being chased by soldiers and panicked, so we accidentally broke in."

"Officers and soldiers?"

After hearing what Master Zheng said, a puzzled response immediately came from the villagers.

Then, a path was seen parting in the crowd, and a young man with an imposing bearing slowly walked into the encirclement.
