Chapter 232: Walking Merit

Pan Yun also remained silent. If the pirates had cannons, that would be a big problem and it would not be something that just a few of them could handle.

Pan Yun dared to join the game because she was sure that no one present was her opponent, but the opponent's tools were so advanced and powerful, so she had to consider the personal safety of herself and her friends.

Pan Yun turned around and asked Miao Zhen, "Where did you get the things from the box?"

Miaozhen took the things out.

Two long objects wrapped in straw appeared in front of him. Xue Shao's pupils shrank and he glanced at the three people in surprise. What's going on? Are their families so wealthy?
Pan Yun had already untied the thing and removed the straw, revealing a Tang Dynasty sword with a cold glow.

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Xue Shao bent down and picked up a sword, carefully looked at the guard and blade, and reached out to flick the blade lightly, producing a crisp and pleasant sound.

The two of them couldn't help but look at each other. This craftsmanship...

Xue Shao said: "The Tang horizontal sword is a sword used only by government officials and the military. As far as I know, ordinary troops and government officials cannot use a sword with such a good blade and such a sharp blade."

Pan Jun sighed: "The power is quite big."

Xue Shao was silent.

Pan Yun asked him, "Where is your commander? Can he come to support you? Or do you have other forces to protect you?"

Xue Shao was silent for a while and then said, "The only solution I can think of is to report to the police."

Pan Jun gave up on him and said, "Then I have to do it."

Pan Yun decided to shake her senior brothers and sisters, "My nephews and I can't get away. You leave tomorrow and go to Quanzhou City to find someone to rescue us."

She paused and said, "Of course, you can report it to the police if you want."

Xue Shao raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you worried that the government is colluding with them?"

Pan Yun was instantly relieved. "Since you mentioned that, I'm naturally prepared. Brother Xue, I believe you can still find a reliable government office."

Xue Shao didn't agree, but didn't refuse either. Pan Yun knew that he must have relevant connections.

As a scholar, he must be familiar with the officialdom, and this man does not look very poor.

However, she still told Miaozhen and Miaohe, "We will act according to circumstances tomorrow. If we see something wrong, we will run away."

This was so wonderful and familiar that they both nodded immediately.

At this time, they had already separated. Xue Shao went back, and Pan Yun and the others also carefully returned to the fire. Pan Yun collected the three wooden sticks that pretended to be them and threw them directly into the fire, then put away the formation plate.

When Hu Jing opened his eyes and looked over again, he saw that the two little Taoist priests had also woken up and were adding firewood to the fire.

He looked for a while and was about to look away, but then he looked back immediately and saw a big fat cat lying beside the fire.

Hu Jing knew it was Sanzhu's cat. He had been keeping an eye on it. Wasn't it in the tree before? When did it come back to her?
There were so many dead leaves on the ground, and he didn't even notice it walking by?

After thinking for a while, he stood up and walked to Pan Yun.

As he arrived, a layer of ripples appeared and disappeared, but he did not notice it. He lowered his head and smiled at Pan Yun, "Master Sanzhu, can I sit down?"

Pan Yun extended his hand and invited him to sit down.

Hu Jing sat down cross-legged, looked her up and down and said, "Master Sanzhu looks much better, is your injury healed?"

Pan Yun: "The medicine the boss gave me is good. I don't feel as much pain now. With the help of breathing exercises and meditation, I should be getting better soon, right?"

Hu Jing looked at Miao Zhen and Miao He, "Where are Taoist priests Si Shui and Wu Huo? Why are they awake now?"

Pan Yun pointed to the horizon and said, "It's almost dawn."

Hu Jing quickly turned his head and looked to the east, and saw that the originally dark sky was indeed a little bright. It seemed that it would be dawn in two quarters of an hour at most.

Pan Yun said: "We have to get up early to practice. We have been used to it since childhood and wake up at the right time."

Miaozhenmiaohe nodded and admitted that it was like that.

Hu Jing couldn't find any other flaws, so he could only nod and say, "The Taoist priests are really hardworking."

He looked at the cat lying on the ground and asked, "Master Sanzhu, when did your cat come back?"

Pan Jun shook his head directly, "I don't know, I was busy meditating and practicing, I don't know when I came back, why did my cat get into trouble?"

"No, I was just curious. I hadn't seen it all night, but it suddenly appeared..."

Pan Jun waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Cats are free, I never care about them. Why, Mr. Hu, do you want to keep a cat too?"

He has trouble even supporting himself, so how could he possibly raise a cat?
As the thought flashed through his mind, Hu Jing suddenly looked up and squinted his eyes and said, "I have never mentioned my name to the Taoist priest. How did Taoist priest Sanzhu know that my last name is Hu?"

Miaozhenmiaohe felt a little uneasy and couldn't help but look at Pan Jun.

Pan Yun said calmly, "I never mentioned mine, so how did Mr. Hu know that my name is Sanzhu?"

Hu Jing looked at her for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "I am too narrow-minded. I forgot that the young Taoist priest could also ask the accompanying guards."

Pan Jun raised his lips slightly and said, "There's a lot of discussion in the caravan. I also know that Hero Hu uses the Death Blade Knife and he likes to announce the arrest of criminals for the government."

"There are many heroes like Hu who make a living by picking up the list, but there are very few heroes who have reached this level of martial arts and still make a living by picking up the list. So I always think that Hu is not doing it for money, but because of his chivalrous heart."

Hu Jing opened his mouth, wanting to say that he was just doing it for money. How much are those extremely vicious criminals worth?
He could live for half a year by doing one job. If he hadn't caught all the big criminals in the Jiangnan area, he wouldn't have come to Fujian to escort someone.

It was because Song Bei gave him too much, and the escort was diligent. Precisely because of his diligence, he planned to leave after completing this task.

After three trips, he had vaguely guessed that Song Bei's business was not a good one, but because he was not on the list, the people in Fujian were indeed poor.

When the government forced the people to revolt, he decided to pretend he didn't see it.

As a monk, you have to ring the bell for your day; as a guard, you have to guard the escort for your day. Hu Jing has a very strong professional ethics.

However, he was still happy to be praised for his chivalrous heart. He glanced around her and found nothing unusual, so he stood up and said goodbye.

He might have really dozed off just now, so he didn't see the black cat come back.

It was almost dawn, and there was nothing unusual about Pan Yun and the others, so they acted as if nothing had happened.

Pan Yun smiled and saw him off.

As soon as he left, the sky began to brighten. People began to wake up and the camp gradually became noisy and lively.

Song Bei got off the carriage and saw Hu Jing. He immediately went up to him and asked, "Master Hu, was there anything unusual last night?"

Hu Jing said: "There are only a few rats gnawing at the car and boxes, everything else is normal."

Song Bei laughed, "It's good that nothing happened. Rats are unavoidable. Our things are packed in boxes, so it's useless for them to gnaw on them."

Hu Jing nodded, he thought so too.

In the wild, snakes, ants, insects and animals are inevitable troubles, and they are used to it.

Song Bei looked around the camp and suddenly saw Pan Yun standing up. He was surprised and asked, "Is Taoist Sanzhu okay?"

Hu Jing said: "Although he is not fully recovered, I think he is almost recovered. He is young, a genius, and has profound skills. He may have received medicine from his master. It is normal for him to recover quickly."

Song Bei: ...He decided to replace Doctor Zhao when he returned. What disease was he treating?

It caused him to make a wrong decision.

Song Bei immediately went up to Pan Yun to check on her, and then asked Ashin to move their car back behind his car.

Seeing this, Pan Yun couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, and whispered to Miao Zhenmiao: "We should be more vigilant today. We should catch the leader first. If anything goes wrong, we should arrest Song Bei first."

Miao Zhen glanced at the location of their carriage and nodded, "I understand."

Miaohe also nodded: "I understand."

This is a good position, you can catch someone with just your hand.

Song Bei didn't know that he was being targeted. His right eye had been twitching since dawn, which made him feel very bad. The bad premonition became stronger and stronger. After setting off, he couldn't help but go to see Zhu Zixun and found that he had recovered almost all, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

As they approached the gate of Quanzhou Prefecture, the merchants following them gradually left, some to visit relatives and friends in nearby villages and towns, or to do business. Only about half of the merchants followed them into the city.

Xue Shao also took the opportunity to leave.

Before leaving, he looked back in the direction of Pan Yun and the other two and walked away without looking back.

Xi Jin followed him and left quickly, whispering, "Master, where are we going?"

Xue Shao: "Go visit Mr. Zhou."

He is just a scholar. Does he really think he can ask the government to intervene?

The only way is to seek external help, through Mr. Zhou to find someone, and it has to be someone you can trust, "First visit Mr. Zhou, then go into the city to deliver the letter, and finally rush to Citong Port."

"Doesn't the Second Master know the garrison captain? Why don't you go find him directly?"

Xue Shao: "The Citong Port is guarded by the garrison. Do you think the pirate rampage has nothing to do with the garrison? Taoist Priest Pan said that this batch of goods will be sent to Citong Port for loading. The sea ban has been in place for many years. Song Bei dares to do this business. Do you think the garrison knows about it?"

Xijin opened his mouth wide.

Pan Yun was also thinking about this problem. He wondered how many garrison officers were in collusion with Song Bei's forces, and whether anyone from the local government of Quanzhou Prefecture was also involved.

She knew that there must be something wrong with the Quanzhou garrison, but she didn't know whether the local government was involved.

Should she kill Song Bei in one fell swoop to earn some quick merit, or should she spare his life, dig out the people behind him, and earn merit slowly?
Song Bei's brows were red as if they were about to bleed. She had no idea how many lives she had taken. If she killed him and then revealed his identity, she would definitely gain a lot of merit.

Pan Jun glanced at Ling Jing, weighed the pros and cons between the two, and decided to make a quick buck first, and then slowly look for the person behind it later.

Song Bei was able to pretend to be a Han Chinese and travel within the Ming Dynasty, so he was involved in a lot of things. She didn't believe that there would be no clues.

Having made up her mind, Pan Jun looked at Song Bei again as if she was looking at a dead person. When he turned his head to look at her, she smiled at him in a very friendly manner.

Song Bei smiled back, and the convoy passed through the street towards the port.

Zhang Weiliang occasionally turned his head and saw a convoy passing by the restaurant window. He immediately saw Pan Yun and his two nephews sitting in the open carriage.

His pupils shrank, and he frowned as he looked at the convoy, cursing inwardly, "Idiots!"

Zhang Weiqin, who was sitting opposite him, lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and said, "This seems to be the Song family's business. Didn't my family say that they were colluding with the pirates and asked us to defeat this group of pirates and return with merit? Why is Pan Yun with them?"
