Chapter 168 Meishan Brothers
As the ring of fire dissipated, the roadside fell completely silent.

Dai Li jumped through the fire ring and ran away, and neither Lu Bian nor Chen Xiang showed any intention of giving chase. Chen Xiang had learned most of Lu Bian's combat mindset, and Lu Bian wouldn't chase after such a fleeing "enemy."

“Dai Li? I’ve never heard of that name before…”

All that was known by the roadside was that Erlang Shen had sworn brotherhood with the Meishan brothers, and Dai Li must have been one of them. It was unclear how many Meishan brothers there were, or whether they were human or demon.

"Chenxiang, you went a bit too far," someone by the roadside said to Chenxiang.

"..."

Chenxiang didn't reply, and went back to his original spot to continue sleeping.

"It's begun." The man by the roadside smiled slightly as he looked at Chenxiang, who had fallen asleep to rest.

Chenxiang is usually a well-behaved child, but whenever his mother or uncle is involved, he becomes stressed and tries too hard to handle the problem.

When Chenxiang was being held hostage by Dai Li, he immediately reacted when he heard Dai Li say that he was his uncle's sworn brother, and struck his vital points, causing Dai Li to experience the highest level of pain. It was under these circumstances that Dai Li was unable to fight back and allowed Chenxiang to beat him like a punching bag.

They continued their vigil by the roadside until dawn.

he thought.

Dai Li is Erlang Shen's sworn brother. He was able to find his way here because Xiaotianquan led the way. Dai Li eating dog meat earlier was also a ruse for him and Chenxiang to show him and Xiaotianquan that he was an accomplice.

But a hunch gave a subtle hint that Dai Li seemed a little different.

It's also possible that he wasn't with Xiaotianquan. Being constantly hunted by wild dogs is a sign of that, and Dai Li eating dog meat is also a way of showing his dislike for Xiaotianquan.

Having driven away the Celestial Hound, Lu Bian mentally prepared himself to face Erlang Shen. He felt that Erlang Shen would arrive in person very soon.

There's nothing to be afraid of.

He thought he couldn't beat Erlang Shen, but he could still let Chenxiang escape alone.

At that time, Chenxiang will have to rely on himself.

As for his fate, Lu Bian pondered that the worst he could suffer was being banished to the deepest hell, his soul torn apart and his bones ripped from his body, never to be reincarnated. This was what Bodhi Patriarch said when he banished Sun Wukong; daring to mention his master's name after causing trouble would lead to this fate.

Lu Bian and Chen Xiang hurried on their way, thinking that once they were out at sea, Xiaotian Dog would no longer be able to sniff out their scent and lead people to track them down.

After traveling for three to five days towards Quanzhou Port, it would take another day to reach the port. At this point, the number of carriages and pedestrians on the official road increased.

Most people, seeing the two donkeys—one big and one small—by the roadside didn't interact with them much, focusing only on their own journey. Anyone who tried to strike up a conversation was met with suspicion by Lu Bian and Chen Xiang, who assumed it was the return of the Meishan brothers.

Lu Bian had taken Dai Li's earlier warning to heart. He smeared some soot from the bottom of the pot on Chen Xiang's handsome face a few times. Although Chen Xiang had kept Dai Li's bamboo hat, what if the hat fell off in an accident? An extra layer of disguise would be safer.

They are not afraid of trouble, nor do they cause trouble, but trouble will come looking for them.

When they were still ten miles from Quanzhou, a horse-drawn carriage was parked on the side of the road. Several people were sighing and groaning around the carriage. Suddenly, they turned around and saw a donkey being led by the roadside. Their faces immediately lit up with joy.

"This brave warrior!!"

"Friend! Please wait!"

A man in white called out to the roadside and quickly walked over to him.

"Friend, are you selling your donkey?"

"What?" The person on the roadside glanced at the group with hostility.

A dark-faced man squatted by the carriage, sighing. A horse lay by the roadside. The man's sun-darkened face looked like that of a coachman. A fat man with a big head and ears, looking very wealthy, paced back and forth by the carriage, looking anxious as if his backside was on fire. A gentleman in white had an abacus hanging from his waist and a long pipe in his hand, looking like an accountant.

"What's going on?" Looking at the carriage from the roadside, the carriage was full of goods and there was a smell of medicinal herbs emanating from it.

"I don't know what happened to this horse, it suddenly collapsed. I don't know what disease it has, it's making me so worried," said the man in white.

“Friend, your donkey has come just in time! Can you use your donkey to replace our horses?” the man in white asked, and the dark-faced man and the wealthy fat man also looked over.

"Not for sale," someone by the roadside said.

The rich, fat man's face fell.

"But we can hire them."

The fat man and the man in white were immediately delighted. "Take this truckload of your goods to Quanzhou Port, and let's agree on how much you'll be paid first," the man said by the roadside.

"Eight hundred coins," the wealthy, fat man said as he walked over.

"Oh, okay." The person by the roadside nodded.

"My child can sit in your car too," someone by the roadside said.

"Ok, Ok."

They led the donkey to the roadside, fiddled with it for a bit, and then the group of people followed the donkey and walked forward together.

"Now I understand why your horses don't want to walk," said the man by the roadside.

"why?"

"Since all of you are going to be sitting in the carriage, how can one horse pull it?" someone by the roadside said.

One coachman would have been enough for the carriage, but there were two extra.

I glanced at the three people traveling with me from the roadside.

After the donkey was replaced to pull the cart, the horse that had been lying on the ground got up, and the dark-faced man silently followed behind the cart, leading the horse.

"These two in your family are really strange."

"Why are adults putting straw hats on children instead of adults? The children don't even walk, so what's wrong with them getting some sun?" the rich, fat man said to someone by the roadside.

"Would you like this straw hat? I can sell it to you," someone by the roadside said.

"Alright, I'm getting a bit sunburnt anyway." The fat man took out his money bag to buy the straw hat that Chenxiang was wearing.

"You're really buying it!"

"what happened?"

"I'm not selling anymore," someone by the roadside said.

"How can you be like this? You have no integrity whatsoever; you're not cut out for business," the fat man said angrily.

"I just suddenly remembered that there isn't another one of these straw hats. If there were, I would definitely sell it to you," he said from the roadside.

"Friends, is this your first time visiting Quanzhou?" someone asked from the roadside.

"Yes, otherwise how could there have been an accident on the way?" the man in white replied.

Looking back at Chenxiang on the carriage from the roadside, Chenxiang took off his bamboo hat.

"Are you available?" Xiang Chenxiang asked from the roadside.

"Yeah." Chenxiang nodded.

He parked the car by the roadside and led Chenxiang to relieve herself in the nearby woods.

"..." The three of them waited for Lu Bian and Chen Xiang to return.

After a while, there was no more movement in the woods.

"Could it have been carried off by wolves? Let's go check?"

The dark-faced man walked into the woods and wandered around for a long time, but didn't see a single person.

"Brothers! They've escaped!!" The dark-faced man's voice came from the woods.

"What!!"

The man in white and the fat man became anxious, and even the horse stood up on its hind legs, transforming into a minotaur.

"Where were we exposed?" the minotaur asked.
