Chapter 76: The Path to Wealth
Si Zheng took a sip from his gourd and said, “When we arrived in Jinyang City last night, you didn’t explain why, but today you’re willing to talk.”
Yang He sighed, “Zhang Tiannan is stubborn. I’ve told him to keep a low profile on the way here, but when that moster appeared, he instinctively took action. I could feel that everyone is wary of the two of us, which is not good for the journey ahead, so I had to be open and honest.”
On the other side, Zhang Tiannan, while watering the horses, suddenly paused, then continued as if he hadn’t heard anything.
Si Zheng nodded and didn’t ask further questions.
Although Qin Feng and the others hadn’t completely let go of their guard, the distance between them and Yang He had indeed decreased.
“If you want to return the Dragon Protection Monument, why stop? Wouldn’t it be safer to rush to Qiyuan City non-stop?” Qin Feng raised this doubt by the campfire.
Yang He took out some dried meat from his pocket and bit down hard, then said, “If the enemies invading the city were annihilated, we would naturally rush back as fast as possible. But since those enemies were only repelled, once they find out that the Dragon Protection Monument they took is fake, they will definitely come back to search for the real one. That’s why I’ve been cautious all the way and trading on thin ice along the way.”
“I see.” Qin Feng nodded, then he thought of something and his expression turned grim.
If the enemies indeed discovered that the Dragon Protection Monument was fake, wouldn’t they be in great danger? After all, even the Spear Immortal, one of the Twelve Divine General, and several Thirty-Six Stars couldn’t kill the enemies, only repel them!
