"Is the damage just this minor? Taoist Priest, please don't be polite to us!"

Mrs. Yan hadn't been able to squeeze in and say a word just now, so she hurried forward and spoke.

The wife of Duke Dingguo also said:

"It's a good thing that there wasn't much damage, but those Japanese pirates dared to invade Cihang Temple, they deserve to be cut into pieces! Is there any Taoist priest in the temple who remembers the appearance of those Japanese pirates, so that my master can follow the clues and catch this group of people..."

Although the Japanese pirates were very cunning and difficult to catch, this was also a good opportunity to offer her services to Cihang Temple, and it was something that no one else could do. She believed that the Duke would never blame her for acting on her own, considering how much he valued Cihang Temple.

Huiyun said:

"That's not necessary. This group of daring Japanese pirates has been completely wiped out by Master Zheng, who led us and the people of Yangfeng Town at the foot of the mountain. They all died miserably. This can be regarded as a punishment for disrespecting Cihang Temple."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Wei in disbelief.

The wife of Duke Dingguo was even more outspoken:

"I didn't know Yuan Nai had such talent before!"

Zheng Yuannai was a kid with mediocre talent since childhood. He had no outstanding performance in either military strategy or the Four Books and Five Classics.

How could he suddenly become so powerful that in just one night he raided three places in succession and wiped out a group of Japanese pirates who even many veteran generals were helpless against.

Wei didn't dare to take credit for her husband at Cihang Temple, but she couldn't reveal the truth either. She only said vaguely:

"The master of the temple said Yuan Nai has this talent, so he has it."

Everyone was stunned, and it took them a while to realize the meaning.

In other words, it was the master of the temple who eliminated those Japanese pirates, but the master has always been low-key, so he gave the credit to Zheng Yuannai.

"How many Japanese pirates were annihilated this time?"

Mrs. Yan asked curiously.

Wei said:

"About 130 people!"

When everyone heard this number, they were shocked.

What does it mean to have more than 130 Japanese pirates? They are capable of sweeping away thousands of enemies.

Of course, this was also because the imperial army was weak and often collapsed at the first touch.

But the Japanese pirates were notoriously fierce and cunning. As soon as they saw the situation was bad, they would immediately ride away without hesitation.

The temple master was able to allow only eight out of the 130 people to escape and killed the rest. He was truly amazing.

Oh, yes, later on these eight people ran into the city but couldn’t escape, and they all died.

"Do you know how many people have infiltrated Cihang Temple?"

Du Zongquan asked.

"About sixty people." Wei did not hide it.

Because these will appear in the official gazette sooner or later, there is no need to hide them from these fellow believers.

"hiss--"

Du Zongquan immediately gasped, "The master of the temple really has boundless magical power!"

Everyone followed his gaze to the door of the main hall.

The door of the main hall is intact and still looks the same as before.

In the entire Cihang Temple, except for the damaged stone slabs in the courtyard under their feet, there were no marks of swords or knives on the rest of the doors and windows.

What does this mean?

This means that the Japanese pirates were locked up in this yard as soon as they came in, but were annihilated in a very short time, without even a chance to escape by breaking through the windows or doors.

Thinking of this, everyone immediately understood why Du Zongquan reacted so strongly.

They actually didn't know that the temple master could kill fifty or sixty extremely powerful Japanese pirates in a very short period of time.

No ordinary person can do such a thing except ghosts and gods.

Thinking of this, everyone admired Chen Qingzhu, the temple master, even more and felt a little more awe.

The master of the temple not only has various abilities that make them covetous, but also has terrifying methods of killing!

If you anger her, you might die without knowing how.

Everyone was extremely envious of Zheng Yuannai for being given such a great achievement by the temple master.

This does not only mean an opportunity for promotion, but more importantly, it means the attitude revealed by the master of the temple, which shows that he values ​​and intends to support you.

"Master Zheng is so lucky!"

Everyone congratulated Wei.

Although he said this, he was actually thinking unconvincedly in his heart, why does Zheng Yuannai, that kid, deserve to be valued so much by the temple master?

Thinking back carefully, it seems that this guy only started to emerge during the disaster relief period.

Thinking of how Zheng Yuannai personally rushed to pick up the victims during the disaster relief, everyone suddenly understood.

It seems that I need to do more good deeds in the future to gain the favor of the master.

*

Upon learning that the temple did not need their help, the believers had no choice but to leave in disappointment.

Only Qin Dafu stayed because Taoist Huiyun said, "The abbot has something to tell you," which once again attracted the envious glances of other believers.

Madam Yan returned to the carriage, also feeling deeply moved, and sighed to her confidant,

"I didn't expect that, not only could we not beat the Qin family, but the Zheng family would also surpass us! Seeing that the Duke Dingguo's Mansion is more powerful than our family, our Yan family might end up at the bottom among these officials' followers in the future."

Mammy comforted her:

"Madam, don't we still have the Yuan family? If we talk about the bottom, it must be their family."

Madam Yan curled her lips:

"How can we compare with her family? The Yuan family is absent at every critical moment. I don't think it's a question of whether they are at the bottom or not. I'm afraid they will be expelled from the list of devout believers."

The Yuan family, which has been talked about, is now in a state of gloom and sorrow.
