Starting from the imperial palace guards, his clones spread all over the world.

Chapter 54 Interception halfway
Upon hearing this, Liang Jin lifted the curtain and looked outside.

At this time, the sedan chair had entered a remote alley.

Nowadays, a large number of outsiders have poured into Taiyang City, causing the sedan chair to move slowly if it takes the main road.

That is why Liang Jin's sedan chair has been passing through some remote alleys and roads in the past two days to avoid the flow of people.

And at this time.

I saw someone blocking the way a few feet in front of the sedan chair.

He was a man with his face covered with a black cloth and a pair of halberds hanging from his waist.

A masked man in broad daylight doesn't look like a good person at all.

Miao Yuanzheng held the knife and shouted:

"Who dares to stop the sedan chair of the Great Sage Master?"

"Get out of the way immediately! Otherwise, don't blame Miao for being rude with his sword."

The masked man ignored Miao Yuanzheng.

After he saw Liang Jin lift the curtain of the sedan chair, he clasped his fists and saluted, saying:

"I came here this time to discuss a business with the Great Sage Master."

"It's just a few words. It won't take up much of the Great Sage Master's time."

The masked man said he wanted to negotiate, but his posture and tone did not allow any room for negotiation.

Liang Jin recalled carefully and found that his clone had never offended anyone.

So he asked calmly:
"What deal?"

The masked man replied:
"I also ask the Great Sage Master not to distribute the talisman water to other counties, and preferably not even to Taiyang County."

"And we can buy all your talisman waters at a high price."

"It won't be long before the Great Sage Master's wealth will be as great as a mountain of gold and jade, and he will be as wealthy as a prince."

Liang Jin smiled slightly.

It seems that the masked man came to stop him not out of hatred, but for profit.

Now that the plague is raging, if the healing water can be monopolized, it will undoubtedly bring huge profits.

Some people saw the benefits and wanted to get a piece of the pie.

If Liang Jin gave this talisman water to someone else, how would his Taiping Dao develop?

A sufficient number of loyal people are far more valuable than a pile of gold and silver.

"Let's not discuss this matter."

"My talisman water has always been used to save people for free."

"If the talisman water is monopolized by you rats who hide their true identity and dare not show your true face to others."

"Then who knows how many people in Qingzhou will die, and how many families will lose everything just to get a bowl of talisman water."

Liang Jin refused without hesitation.

Liang Jin's words made Miao Yuanzheng, who was standing beside him, admire him greatly.

When Miao Yuanzheng heard that the great and virtuous teacher was not greedy for money and was dedicated to curing illnesses and saving lives, his respect for him reached a new level.

He would also prefer to use his own sword to protect the person who could quell the plague.

The masked man sneered when he heard the rejection:
"If the price is too low for the Great Sage Master, you can raise it any higher."

"But if you reject us like this, it may not be a good thing for the Great Sage Master."

"Great and virtuous teacher, you might as well listen carefully to the consequences of offending us."

This masked man actually threatened me.

Miao Yuanzheng snorted angrily and pointed at the masked man and cursed:
"presumptuous!"

"The Great and Good Master heals the people. How can you, a sinister bunch of rats, threaten him?"

"Get out of here! Otherwise, you'll lose your head!"

Immediately, Miao Yuanzheng drew the long sword from his back and looked at the masked man coldly.

Liang Jin turned his gaze and began to observe the surrounding situation.

It's obvious that the masked man wants to use force, but is he the only one coming?
The surrounding houses stand tall and silent.

This kind of terrain is a good place for an ambush.

Liang Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and had a plan in mind.

retreat?

This seems like a good idea.

But others have already intercepted him and probably won't give Liang Jin a chance to retreat.

What's more, Liang Jin didn't intend to retreat just like that.

The person is threatening right in front of us, it would be unreasonable not to deal with him.

Liang Jin didn't think the masked man was that strong.

If he was truly a strong man who could crush everything, he wouldn't have to talk so much nonsense.

Liang Jin has plenty of tricks up his sleeve, it just depends on whether the person who wants to harm him can handle it.

Liang Jin immediately lowered the curtain of the sedan chair and disappeared into it.

Outside.

The masked man seemed unaware of Miao Yuanzheng's anger.

He just said to himself:
"If you offend us, you will die."

"Now that the Great Sage Master is dead, this talisman water is gone."

"With this rule, no one will come to disrupt it."

Miao Yuanzheng couldn't stand it anymore.

He walked towards the masked man with a knife:

"I want to see how much you weigh!"

The masked man was not arrogant in front of Miao Yuanzheng. He took off the hand halberd from his waist and held it in his palm.

At the same time, the masked man warned, "Miao Yuanzheng, we have a very clear understanding of your background. We advise you not to get involved in this mess."

"Otherwise, tomorrow, Tiandi Hall will know that you are hiding in Taiyang City."

The last sentence seemed to be so intimidating to Miao Yuanzheng that it made him pause.

At the same time, he often looked at the masked man, as if he didn't expect that the masked man knew so much about his past.

But Miao Yuanzheng finally gritted his teeth and said with the knife in hand:
"It's enough that I can hide for these years!"

"If you move the great and virtuous teacher, you will cut off the livelihood of the poor."

"I, Miao Yuanzheng, will never agree to this!"

If it weren't for the Great and Good Teacher, his son would have died of illness long ago, and many more people would not have had the chance to survive the plague.

Miao Yuanzheng will never be ungrateful.

The masked man snorted coldly:
"I don't know how to praise!"

"Then go to die!"

After saying that, the masked man moved and rushed towards Miao Yuanzheng fiercely.

Miao Yuanzheng showed no sign of weakness and went forward with his sword raised.

He had to move the battlefield away from the Great Sage Master to avoid the battle affecting the Great Sage Master.

The two sides quickly engaged in close combat.

For a moment, the sound of weapons clashing continued.

The two had exchanged several moves, but it was still difficult to determine who was the winner.

Miao Yuanzheng had not expected that his opponent would be so difficult to deal with, especially since the hand halberd he used was varied and the moves were insidious.

This made Miao Yuanzheng's desire for a quick victory impossible.

He immediately gritted his teeth and prepared to intensify his attack.

The masked man suddenly retreated quickly with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Then the masked man took out a whistle and blew it suddenly.

"Chirp!!!"

The loud whistle spread immediately.

The next moment, there was a noise from the roofs on both sides of the alley, and a group of men in black suddenly emerged.

And these men in black actually held powerful crossbows in their hands!

"not good!"

Miao Yuanzheng realized that he had fallen into a trap.

There was actually an ambush on the roof, and Miao Yuanzheng didn't even notice it.

This means that the person on the roof is at least a warrior, and is well-trained. He can hide there without making any movement, thus avoiding Miao Yuanzheng's ears.

Miao Yuanzheng ignored the pursuit of the masked man with the hand halberd and quickly turned around and ran towards the sedan chair.

however.

He was still too late.

The man in black on the rooftop had already pulled the trigger instantly.

Accompanied by the sound of crossbow strings, more than a dozen crossbow arrows were shot fiercely towards the sedan chair.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

Miao Yuan watched helplessly as the crossbow arrow pierced through the thin wooden boards and curtains of the sedan chair and penetrated into the interior.

The bearers of the sedan chair were shot dead on the spot and fell in a pool of blood.

"Great Master!"

Miao Yuanzheng cried out in grief and anger.

The space in the sedan chair was narrow, and there was no way to avoid so many crossbow arrows.

The crossbow is extremely powerful!

It is also a weapon that can pose a threat to warriors even if used by very few ordinary people.

Faced with more than ten powerful crossbows, even a seventh-grade warrior like Miao Yuanzheng did not dare to confront them head-on.

It is not difficult to imagine what a miserable state the great and virtuous teacher in the sedan chair would be in at this moment.

Just when Miao Yuanzheng was distracted, a strong wind suddenly blew over.

"Look at the halberd!"

Miao Yuanzheng hurriedly held up a knife to resist.

"Bah!"

The collision of weapons was crisp and deafening.

Miao Yuanzheng blocked the attacking hand halberd.

But who could have expected that this was just a feint by the masked man.

The masked man's target was not Miao Yuanzheng at all.

He was very agile and used the power of Miao Yuanzheng's long sword to quickly rush towards the sedan chair.

"First make sure this charlatan is dead. If he's not, I'll give him two more halberds."

"Then I'll come and deal with you, Miao Yuanzheng!"

The masked man also knew that Miao Yuanzheng was difficult to deal with, so he didn't confront him too much.

His only goal on this trip was to find the Great Sage Teacher.

"asshole!"

Miao Yuanzheng roared loudly.

He was confident that his martial arts skills were no worse than the masked man's, but his body movements were far inferior to the other's.

As long as the opponent doesn't engage in head-on combat, he will always be a step behind.

Miao Yuanzheng was already trying his best to catch up, but he could only watch helplessly as the masked man dived into Liang Jin's sedan chair...
