After rebirth, I became a national teacher

This was exactly what Chen Qingzhu wanted.

She didn't plan to register with the royal family until she reached the late stage of Qi Refining and was able to draw talismans and stockpile large-scale means of attack.

When they returned to the East Garden with several female Taoist priests carrying offerings, they saw Huiyun and Rongniang standing not far from the entrance, both the big and the small, looking forward to it.

When they saw Chen Qingzhu, their eyes lit up.

"Guanzhu!"

"Mother!"

Rong Niang ran to Chen Qingzhu and took her hand to look her up and down. Seeing that there was no wound on her body, even the bloodstains on her Taoist robe yesterday were gone, she said happily:

"Did mother defeat all the bad guys?"

Chen Qingzhu nodded and said softly:

"Of course, not a single one was left."

"Mom is so awesome!"

Rong Niang's eyes were immediately filled with admiration.

Huiyun looked at the large bags carried by the Kun Daoists, and had some guesses in her mind but was not sure:

"Master, could this be..."

Chen Qingzhu slightly curved her lips:

"I said I would avenge you and take back all the offerings with interest. I did it today."

Huiming excitedly added:

"That evil thief Captain Li never thought that inviting the Japanese pirates to harm us would eventually become his own mortal enemy. He was always so arrogant and domineering, but today when he was caught red-handed in public, he was so scared that he couldn't even speak. In the end, he was afraid of implicating Minister Qian's mansion, so he slit his own throat!"

Huiyun knew very well that Captain Li was a coward, cunning and vicious person. He had seen all kinds of situations and would argue even if he was unreasonable. It was impossible for him to be so scared that he could not speak just because he was caught in the act and then commit suicide to save Minister Qian.

There was only one possibility, and that was that the temple master used his magical powers to control him, leaving him speechless and forcing him to commit suicide.

Catching the criminal red-handed was enough to put Captain Li to death.

The temple master didn't need to make that trip in person and waste his divine power killing people in public.

The reason for this is probably because they don't want Captain Li, who is about to die, to spread the shameful past of the Taoist priests in Cihang Temple.

It is obvious that the abbot was the last to come to Jingci Temple. Even if the news gets out, it will not affect the abbot himself.

Even with some operation, the image of the master of the temple as a messenger of God can be made more glorious and just.

But she chose to go to great lengths to cover up the matter.

This is to prevent their scars, which have been healed with great difficulty, from being uncovered again.

Huiyun was deeply moved by this selfless love and care.

"The master's kindness will be unforgettable to me forever!"

Huiyun bowed solemnly, her heart filled with excitement.

Her master is so powerful, yet so caring towards those close to her.

She would never regret following such a master even if she were to be torn to pieces.

Chen Qingzhu raised his hand slightly to help the man up, and said with a smile:

"I will naturally protect and pamper a subordinate as loyal and capable as Huiyun. Hurry up and tell everyone that after dinner to honor the warriors who participated in the battle, everyone must be present."

"Yes!"

After dinner, all the female Taoists in Cihang Temple gathered in the open space in the West Garden.

Chen Qingzhu strode to the front and said to everyone:

"Yesterday, the captain surnamed Li brought in Japanese pirates who wanted to attack Cihang Temple at night. Everyone worked together to set up traps and fought bravely. Everyone has made contributions. Everyone will be rewarded with one ounce of silver!"

Ordinary Kun Daoists are naturally happy when there is reward money to be given out.

However, because of their deepening awe of Chen Qingzhu, they no longer dared to make any noise like they did in the past. They just showed joy on their faces and waited quietly for the abbot to continue his lecture.

Chen Qingzhu said again:

"Those of you who followed me to Yangfeng Town have made the greatest contributions. To reward your bravery and fearlessness, I will reward those who kill the enemy with 20 taels per head. Next, those whose names are read, come up and claim your rewards!"

The ten Kun Daoists with immense strength who participated in killing the enemy were both surprised and delighted.
