Without money, what is the point of being a traitor?

Chapter 135 Of course it’s loyalty!
After encouraging Pei Yuan, Han Qianhu said, "This matter still requires a lot of preparation, so there is no rush. You should focus on escorting the tax silver. As long as Huai'an's plan doesn't go wrong, we will have enough room to maneuver."

Pei Yuan quickly demonstrated his worth, "I have made some preparations and have reached a tacit understanding with both parties. Before entering Huai'an, there shouldn't be any fierce conflicts."

Captain Han asked Pei Yuan the reason and then shook his head.

"Don't be careless. There are only a few people behind Lu Dahua. There are others who have close interests at stake and might attack you regardless of the consequences."

"I got the news that the imperial censors have impeached the former cabinet minister Jiao Fang, saying that he colluded with Liu Jin and framed loyal officials."

"Jiao Fang has retired and returned to his hometown for some time. Taking him as a test is a good opportunity to test the waters. If the investigation of Jiao Fang is successful, I'm afraid the court will focus on cleaning up the remnants of Liu Jin in the next few years."

"At this critical moment, anything that has anything to do with Liu Jin's new policies will be strictly guarded against."

Pei Yuan lost his previous optimism after hearing this. He asked tentatively, "What about the Qianhu Division..."

Han Qianhu did not wait for Pei Yuan to finish speaking, and said, "Although the evil-suppressing Qianhu Office has a large number of people, they have the responsibility of monitoring temples and palaces in various places, and many of them are scattered everywhere."

"Beijing alone accounts for nearly half of the workforce."

"Plus, some of our people are on missions, so we probably won't be able to give you more people in a short period of time."

"You must make good use of the forces in the martial arts world and the soldiers and horses of the garrisons along the way."

Speaking of this, it actually gave Pei Yuan a reminder.

He now has two fighting forces that can be used, one is the monk Daigo who is in danger, and the other is Yue Qingfeng who has a handle on him by Pei Yuan.

If these two can be used well, a lot of trouble can be saved.

Pei Yuan said awkwardly, "Captain, what happened last time..."

Seeing that he was hesitant, Han Qianhu said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Pei Yuan coughed lightly and said, "It's about that monk Daigo."

I still remember that when Han Qianhu sent someone to refuse, he angrily said that he didn't want to see Pei Yuan.

"Oh--"

Han Qianhu stretched out his tone, glanced at Pei Yuan, and said jokingly, "It was the time when someone got too powerful and wanted to collude with outsiders to escape."

Pei Yuan quickly denied, "That's absolutely not the case!"

I want to explain, but the truth doesn't sound nice.

At that time, Pei Yuan really wanted to force Han Qianhu to give in.

That's why Han Qianhu said something like "You win".

Captain Han seemed to be frozen in time, glancing at Pei Yuan with a questioning look.

Pei Yuan hesitated, looking at his nose with his eyes, and looking at his heart with his nose, and he didn't know how to explain it properly.

Fortunately, this time, Pei Yuan's plan to Han Qianhu of "uniting the Seven Tigers and consolidating the status of the Qianhu Office" made her quite satisfied, so she did not continue to make things difficult for Pei Yuan.

After looking at Pei Yuan for a while, Han Qianhu said leisurely, "Call the monk in and let me take a look."

Pei Yuan quickly got up and went outside the courtyard to call for Monk Daigu.

When the monk Daigo heard that he was going to meet Shangguan, a little fear appeared on his face.

Pei Yuan comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Have you forgotten what I told you? You are mine. Han Qianhu is our backer, the one who protects us."

The remaining wariness of Monk Daigo was also dispelled by the universal values ​​of the Ming Dynasty that everyone firmly believed in.

He followed Pei Yuan into the courtyard. Pei Yuan was about to take him into the room when he heard Han Qianhu say, "Okay, let's go there."

Pei Yuan's heart moved. He left the monk Daigo in the courtyard and went into the room by himself. "Captain, this is the monk Daigo."

Han Qianhu hummed casually, looked at the monk and asked, "Are you the monk Daigo who came from Jingxin Temple?"

The monk Daigo said quickly, "It is me."

Han Qianhu looked at the monk Daigo for a few times, smiled, and tapped the table lightly with his fingertips. "Okay, no need to hide, come out."

As Han Qianhu tapped lightly with his fingertips, the monk Daigo trembled a few times as if he had suffered a serious blow.

Then his face quickly turned gloomy.

The monk Daigo stared at Han Qianhu and twisted his neck hard.

Under Pei Yuan's incredulous gaze, the monk Daigo's neck stretched half a foot longer as if it had been pulled out alive.

Then the monk Daigo moved his hands and feet, and his arms and thighs grew a lot longer.

The extremely disproportionate proportions, coupled with the long stretched neck, made the monk Daigo look like a turtle out of its shell.

However, that gloomy face not only did not make Pei Yuan feel funny, but instead made him feel extremely depressed and uncomfortable.

The monk Daigo stared at Han Qianhu for a long while and finally spoke.

"I never thought that my disciple would encounter a devil like you. It seems that the fate of my Huangjue Temple has come to an end."

As he spoke, the monk Daigo took a step forward and rushed into the hall!
The step taken by Daigo Monk may not seem big, but it seems to deceive people's vision, and he is about to step over the threshold in one step.

Han Qianhu, who was drinking tea, had sharp eyebrows. He picked up the teacup with his right hand and shouted softly, "How dare you!"

As he said this, the teacup was thrown towards the monk Daigo.

The monk Daigo looked fierce, but he was very wary of the teacup that was thrown at him. He stopped abruptly, chanted a mantra in his hand, and made the appearance of an angry Vajra.

As Daigo the monk chanted the spell with both hands, his eyes widened with anger, and his whole body became as if made of gold and bronze, emitting an old dark light.

The teacup thrown by Han Qianhu hit the head of Monk Daigo and exploded violently.

The monk Daigo's body just swayed slightly, and he continued to move forward without giving in.

Han Qianhu stood up and suddenly grabbed the monk Daigu with his white jade-like palm.

Then the palm suddenly grew larger and grasped the monk Daigo tightly in its palm.

Monk Daigo's body was as hard as gold and bronze. Han Qianhu clenched his palms tightly with such force that a "crunching" sound was heard.

However, Monk Daigo seemed unaware of anything. He stretched his neck and used his hands and feet to try to break free from Han Qianhu's huge palm.

Han Qianhu exerted force with his palm again, and Monk Daigu took the opportunity to use the Dahui Sword Seal.

Seeing that Han Qianhu did not dodge, the monk Daihu suddenly burst into laughter. This laugh made his golden bronze body seem to deflate. He spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, and then vomited blood.

Han Qianhu remained calm, looking at the monk Daigo and scolding him, "Why don't you get out of here? Are you going to cause an innocent person to die in vain?"

The monk Daigu vomited another mouthful of blood, and then a black shadow suddenly flashed out from his body and rushed towards Han Qianhu.

Han Qianhu let out a "huh" and took out the white paper folding fan he used to pretend to be a scholar with his left hand. He quickly unfolded it and held it in front of him.

On the white paper folding fan, a crazy old monk outlined in light ink immediately appeared. Han Qianhu put away the folding fan and held the monk Daigo's right hand, swung it out of the courtyard, and the giant palm returned to its original shape.

Monk Daigo fell heavily to the ground outside the yard, rolled for a while, and then fell silent.

Pei Yuan's hands and feet were cold, and he stared in amazement.

He thought he could be called a brave man, but what was his ability in such a confrontation?
Captain Pei's straightened back became weak again.

Fortunately, he quickly found a way for the weak to survive.

Pei Yuan hurried forward and asked, "Qian Hu, are you okay?"

Han Qianhu couldn't help but feel secretly happy when he saw Pei Yuan suddenly act like this.

She asked with a straight face, "What could it be?"

Pei Yuan quickly said, as if to share the emperor's worries, "That evil monk laughed wildly before dying. Could he be planning something?"

Han Qianhu snorted coldly and said disdainfully, "You are just trying to use the Great Wisdom Sword Seal to open a gap in my mind. You are overestimating your own abilities and hoping for the best."

Pei Yuan looked him up and down, and asked with concern, "That thief monk didn't hurt you, did he?"

Han Qianhu said honestly, "That might be a bit difficult."

Seeing that Han Qianhu still had blood on his hands, Pei Yuan quickly said in a flattering manner, "I will go get some water for you to clean your hands."

Han Qianhu glanced at the monk Daigo in the courtyard and said, "Don't worry. The monk can still be saved. Find a doctor to help him. I have already taken in the remaining soul of the previous monk Daigo. This man should have some skills left. If you can subdue him, you can also be a help."

Pei Yuan had just witnessed the abilities of Monk Daigo, so he couldn't help but be moved after hearing what he heard.

He immediately said, "I obey your command."

After saying this, he hurried out and asked Hou Qing to take the dying monk Daigo back to his room, and then asked Cheng Leixiang to go find a doctor quickly.

When everyone saw that Monk Daigu was beaten to a critical condition not long after he went in to see Captain Han, they were all terrified and hurried to do their work.

Only Song Chunniang, after seeing Han Qianhu's beauty and strength, not only did she not feel fear, but her heart was so excited that tears almost wet the corners of her lips.

When she saw Pei Yuan trying to find a wooden basin to fetch water, she immediately realized that the person who could make Pei Qianhu do this must be Han Qianhu.

She hurried over and said attentively, "Let me do it, let me do it."

"Get out!" Pei Yuan glared. How dare you snatch this opportunity to please your boss? Are you looking for death?
Pei Yuan fetched some water, put it in a wooden basin, and walked quickly into the room.

"Qian Hu, I will help you wash your hands."

Han Qianhu was very satisfied with Pei Yuan's attitude, "Put it down, I'll do it myself."

Pei Yuan looked around and didn't see any rack for the wooden basin, so he wanted to put it on the table. But he was afraid that Han Qianhu would think he was rude, so he quickly put the wooden basin on another chair next to him.

Han Qianhu didn't even have to stand up; he could wash his hands by just bending down slightly.

Pei Yuan saw Han Qianhu bending down and rubbing his white fingers slowly.

His eyes moved from the basin to Han Qianhu, and then he noticed that the hem of his white shirt was slightly tight because he was sitting and bending over.

That arc...

Pei Yuan only took a glance and felt a sense of alarm.

——Oh no, Pei Yuan, you are already seeking death!

Captain Pei immediately looked away and became resolute and loyal.

Han Qianhu, who was washing his fingers, paused for a moment, then continued to wash slowly. He stood up with no expression on his face and asked, "Besides Daigo-sama, if there is anything else you want me to help you solve, please tell me all of it."

Pei Yuan had nothing to be embarrassed about, so he quickly said, "Do you still remember the cassock that the commander gave me last time?"

Han Qianhu corrected him and said, "It's a loan."

Pei Yuan felt a little depressed after hearing this, "Uh, it's the cassock that Qian Hu lent me last time."

Han Qianhu looked at Pei Yuan and chuckled, "Now I grant it to you."

Without waiting for Pei Yuan to react, he said, "Go ahead."

Pei Yuan felt like he was being played with and had to say something, but facing Han Qianhu who had just displayed his might, what else could he say?

Loyalty, of course!
——Please feel free to play with my humble attitude!

Pei Yuan immediately showed his gratitude and said, "I would like to thank you, Mr. Qianhu."

Seeing that Han Qianhu's smile deepened, he told him about the blood-red cassock.

Han Qianhu nodded and said, "You guessed right. Since the eight monks of Huangjue Temple went into hiding, there has indeed been a problem with their inheritance. I don't know if it was because they entrusted it to the wrong person or if they changed their minds later. Many of the skills have undergone different changes."

"The original generosity and peace have completely disappeared, and instead there are many more extreme and evil aspects. The offensiveness of many skills has also begun to become very strong. I'm afraid that the cassock demon-suppressing skill I originally gave you may not be so convenient to control this blood-red cassock."

Pei Yuan said, "That's one aspect. As for the problem of the technique, I haven't noticed anything yet. When the cassock is activated, it is quite obedient. In addition, I also used this cassock technique to capture Yue Qingfeng, the head of Huashan Sect."

"Later, I learned something about Yue Qingfeng from Lu Ting."

"He was originally a guard of the Imperial Stables. Later, by chance, he escaped from the control of the Imperial Stables while on a mission. After wandering around the world, he joined the Huashan Sect. With his undivided attention and hard work, he eventually became the head of the Huashan Sect."

"Someone from the Imperial Stables discovered his secret while out and reported it to the eunuch Tang Shen, who was in charge of the Imperial Stables, and kept it secret."

"Before Lu Ting went south this time, he happened to get hold of this secret and took the opportunity to blackmail Yue Qingfeng into working for him. Fortunately, I have the cassock bestowed by Qian Hu..."

Having said that, Pei Yuan gathered his emotions and looked at Han Qianhu with a grateful expression.

Han Qianhu nodded calmly, "Go on."

Pei Yuan continued, "I relied on the cassock given by Han Qianhu to successfully capture Yue Qingfeng, and got this secret from Lu Ting. I thought that if I could use this secret to force Yue Qingfeng to work for me, it would be a great help. But Lu Ting told me this secret, which made Yue Qingfeng no longer trust us. Now I don't know how to subdue him."

After listening to this, Han Qianhu tapped his fingers on the table unconsciously.

Pei Yuan was horrified by what he saw.

He had seen Han Qianhu knocking casually and scaring out the residual soul of the previous monk Daigo. If Han Qianhu was distracted and attacked him, how could he withstand it?

Han Qianhu thought for a while and asked Pei Yuan, "Then what do you want me to do?"

Pei Yuan cautiously probed, "With Captain Han's ability, it should be no problem for him to deal with Yue Qingfeng. Why not ask Captain Han to take action and shock Yue Qingfeng first?"

Han Qianhu thought about it for a long time.

Pei Yuan was a little surprised. This kind of thing shouldn't be a difficult task for Han Qianhu, so why bother with it so much?

Han Qianhu finally stopped banging on the table, and as if he had made up his mind, he said, "Let him go. There's no need for us to take away a person's last possessions."
