Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2297 - Thirty-six Strategies: Running Away Is the Best

Seeing Chu Hao's arrival, Tang Sanzang and the others felt their depressed mood somewhat relieved, because Chu Hao had never failed to solve any problems on this journey to the West, and he represented victory.

"Immortal Chu Hao, given the current situation, what do you think we should do?"

Tang Sanzang immediately asked Chu Hao, appearing very anxious.

"Brother, this Western Paradise is truly insidious and vicious, actually using ordinary people as bargaining chips to pressure us."

"Those ignorant common people have all been brainwashed and deceived by Kou Shanren, and we are helpless."

"This matter is indeed very棘手, and we are afraid we cannot use our strength."

Sun Wukong and the others also spoke to Chu Hao, all three with helpless expressions.

"This time, Western Paradise has really invested heavily, so it is normal for us to encounter some setbacks, you don't need to worry.

The key to Western Paradise lies in that Merit Dharma Assembly, so there must be no compromise on this point. As long as they cannot complete the Dharma Assembly, their conspiracy will not succeed."

Chu Hao's words directly pointed out the key, making Tang Sanzang and the others even clearer.

"Immortal Chu Hao is absolutely right, I do have a way."

Tang Sanzang said to the others.

"Master, I also have a countermeasure."

"I thought of one too."

"Me too."

Sun Wukong and the other two also said.

"The best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is to leave!"

Since they could not solve the problem of the common people's coercion, Tang Sanzang and the others naturally thought of leaving this place first.

As long as they left Diling County, even if Kou Shanren incited the people, he would have no way to deal with them.

"Although this is a way, I think it won't be so easy for us to leave."

Chu Hao shook his head, but he did not deny Tang Sanzang's suggestion, and then added.

"It's worth a try."

The reason why Chu Hao wanted to try was because it was the simplest way. If they could leave smoothly, it would naturally be the best.

Just as they were talking, it was already night. Tang Sanzang and the others, because of that Kou Shanren and the ignorant people, had no good feelings for Diling County at this moment.

"Let's do it, we'll leave immediately."

Tang Sanzang and the others immediately began to pack their luggage, and they had finished packing in a short time.

Although there were nearly a hundred guards in Kou Mansion, and the defense was extremely tight, these mortal guards were of no use to Tang Sanzang and the others, and were just for show.

"Watch Old Sun!"

Sun Wukong cast a spell and conjured up some sleeping bugs.

Those sleeping bugs immediately dispersed and flew to the faces of the guards on duty, burrowing into their nostrils.

Immediately, those guards began to doze off, and before long, they all fell to the ground and fell asleep on the spot.

"It's done, let's go."

Sun Wukong said to the others, and walked out the door first.

Tang Sanzang and the others followed closely, Zhu Bajie went to lead the horses, and the group sneaked out of the gate of Kou Mansion.

It was late at night, and the people of Diling County were all asleep, so the streets were very quiet.

Tang Sanzang and the others hurried west along the street. After traveling for half the night, they had reached the border of Diling County at dawn.

At dawn, the guards and stewards of Kou Mansion had also woken up, and upon discovering that Tang Sanzang and the others had escaped, they immediately reported to Kou Shanren.

"Tang Sanzang and the others escaped? Unreasonable!"

Kou Shanren seemed very angry when he heard that Tang Sanzang and the others had escaped.

But after a moment, he laughed loudly, and then said to his subordinates.
