Chapter 57: The Casket Demon Subduing Skill

Pei Yuan has figured it out.

This incident was totally unavoidable. Han Qianhu's previous mention of Yuan Lang was itself a prelude to attacking himself.

Before I came, she had clearly made up her mind to let me do this mission.

But if it is said that Captain Han deliberately tricked Pei Yuan, it is not necessarily true.

Because this escort mission is very important, whether the silver can be escorted from Nanzhili to Neichengyunku smoothly is related to the momentum of the struggle between the imperial court and the local governments.

The Jinyiwei belong to the emperor's personal army. No matter whether it is the group in Beijing or the group in Nanjing, they can only stand on the side of the eunuchs in this matter!
Therefore, the Suppression of Evils Thousand Households Office, which undertook this mission, was actually under tremendous pressure.

Captain Han not only had to handle the matter cleanly and efficiently, but also had to do it with ease, so that those who were targeting the matter would not get angry at all.

Therefore, Pei Yuan, who assessed the situation and successfully evacuated with his two younger brothers during the pursuit of the Bazhou rebel army, was obviously a good choice.

It was impossible for Pei Yuan to shirk responsibility at this moment, so he could only try his best to gain benefits for himself.

Captain Han was indeed efficient. When she saw Pei Yuan agree to the matter, her expression relaxed.

"That's easy. I found a good thing while hunting down the remnants of the Huangjue Temple. I'll give it to you."

As she spoke, she looked at Duan Min and said, "There is a separate gray package on the shelf in the fourth row of the warehouse. Take it here."

Duan Min left upon hearing this.

Han Qianhu looked at Pei Yuan and said slowly, "The Qianhu Office is short of manpower. I will give you two teams first. I will let the rest of the people go to Suzhou to meet up with you."

"Suzhou?" Pei Yuan was surprised.

Han Qianhu nodded and said, "Yes, this money was collected by Hu Gonggong, the governor of Suzhou and Hangzhou textiles. The silver must be shipped from Suzhou."

"I understand."

Pei Yuan had nothing to say about this. The journey from Nanzhili to Beijing was long, and according to the court's wishes, this matter had to be done with great fanfare, leaving no room for shortcuts.

There is not much difference whether the shipment is from Yingtian Prefecture or Suzhou Prefecture.

What is supposed to come will always come.

Han Qianhu added, "As for the accompanying personnel from various temples and Taoist temples, you can choose them at will. I will let Duan Min follow you. If there is anything, you can tell him to do it."

Pei Yuan hadn't figured out the escort mission yet, so he had to respond first.

Han Qianhu hesitated for a moment and then said, "Although our Qianhu Office has been rooted in Nanzhili for a long time, those temples and Taoist temples may not be on the same page with us. Even if you want to hire someone, you must consider it carefully to avoid delaying your work."

After hearing this, Pei Yuan understood what Captain Han meant.

The people in the temples and Taoist temples can certainly be considered as help, but if they are infiltrated, a stab in the back might be even more deadly.

But Pei Yuan also had his own thoughts, "I understand. But the more enemies are exposed in the open, the fewer enemies are in the dark."

After Pei Yuan finished speaking, Han Qianhu showed a satisfied smile, "I was right about you."

Although Han Qianhu's face was as cold as ice when he had a stern look, after the ice thawed, there was a rare hint of charm in him.

Her appearance is more neutral, heroic, and somewhat masculine. She is just an ordinary and pleasing-looking person, but with a little bit of contrast, she looks extremely beautiful.

Pei Yuan silently looked at the scene of stir-frying Han Qianhu for a while, and couldn't help but sigh.

How wonderful it would be if life was as pleasant as the novels. After a while, Duan Min came in respectfully holding a package.

Han Qianhu gave a signal, and Duan Min held it directly in front of Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan opened the bundle in front of Han Qianhu, and a strong smell of blood hit his nose. Pei Yuan paused for a moment, and unfolded the bundle completely, revealing a red cassock woven with gold thread.

Pei Yuan was a little puzzled and looked at Han Qianhu in confusion.

But Han Qianhu said calmly, "This time when I went out, I happened to encounter the remnant of the Huangjue Temple. It took me a lot of effort to kill him."

As if hearing Han Qianhu's words, the cassock in Pei Yuan's hand suddenly shook.

Move, move?
Pei Yuan's eyes widened, his mind somewhat confused.

Then the cassock suddenly leaped up and fluttered, like a beast with its mouth wide open and roaring, and pounced towards Han Qianhu.

Pei Yuan's eyes widened, he took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.

But Captain Han frowned, raised his brows, and looked at the cassock sharply.

The cassock was like a cobra with its mouth wide open and its head raised, it stood there with a fierce look, not daring to take another step forward.

Then Han Qianhu said coldly, "Go back!"

The cassock froze for a moment, then dejectedly spun in the air and returned to the package.

Pei Yuan stared at the package containing the cassock in front of him in amazement, then looked at Han Qianhu who was like a ferocious beast, and his mind went blank.

Han Qianhu glanced at Pei Yuan and said casually, "That evil monk practiced the cassock to subdue demons. All his skills were honed in this cassock. It's not suitable for me to use, so I gave it to you."

Pei Yuan was so frightened that he quickly declined, "I dare not, please take it back, sir."

Han Qianhu chuckled and said, "Really? This cassock is already quite spiritual. Even if you haven't practiced cultivation, you can still control it. If it's something else, I'm afraid it won't do you any good."

Pei Yuan couldn't help but feel troubled after hearing this. He asked cautiously, "This thing even dares to offend Qian Hu, how can I control it?"

Han Qianhu glanced at the cassock and said calmly, "That's easy. I have a talisman that can suppress this cassock. If it doesn't obey, you can stick the talisman on it. After three or two days, the cassock will naturally lose its spirituality, just like rotten leather and rotten cloth."

The cassock seemed to understand what was said and began to tremble inside the package.

When Pei Yuan saw that the monk was getting scared, he immediately became alert.

"Then, I thank you for your reward, and I hope you can teach me how to control this thing."

"Hmm..." Han Qianhu responded slowly, and Duan Min and Cheng Leixiang understood and quickly retreated.

Han Qianhu immediately told Pei Yuan the method of controlling the cassock.

Pei Yuan couldn't understand the essence of the cassock demon-subduing skill for a while, but he listened carefully to the several methods of application.

This cassock can contain objects and swallow enemies, and it can wipe out anything. If you encounter a strong opponent who is difficult to deal with, you can directly use the cassock to take him down.

Ordinary evil spirits are no match for this cassock's magic to subdue demons.

However, this cassock-based demon-subduing skill has a shortcoming. It can only kill one person at a time. If it kills people continuously, the person who was captured previously will be spit out from the cassock.

Although this treasure may not be able to play a big role in the chaos, it can instantly subdue the enemy and save a life in the face of a surprise attack.
