Chapter 640 - 640 I Have to Leave
640 I Have to Leave
The minor official outside the carriage scowled and cursed Jiang Ming.
“Ning Caichen, don’t be ungrateful. The king has seen something special in you! You should be happy.”
“Giddy up!”
The coachman waved the reins and urged the horse forward without hesitation.
The next second, one of the horses bellowed. Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows and heard the sound of the horse falling to the ground again.
“Ning Caichen, even if you don’t want to leave today, you must come with me.”
The minor official outside the carriage became arrogant, and his words were filled with great confidence.
He was so arrogant.
Jiang Ming grinned.
Zhu An’an and Zhu Asi could not help but pull open the curtain and get out of the carriage.
This kind of person deserved a beating!
Jiang Ming heard the two of them getting out of the carriage and pulled open the curtain.
He knew that he did not have to do it himself, but he wanted to watch the show.
“Ah!”
The princess also saw the scene outside as soon as the curtain was opened. She could not help but shout and lean close to Jiang Ming.
She would have clung to him if she were not afraid that Jiang Ming would smack her away.
As the curtain was pulled, the coachman, who was leaning against the curtain, suddenly fell to the ground. Blood flowed on the reins and carriage.
On the lower left, a horse was trembling non-stop. Its eyes were open. It looked like it was about to die, but it also seemed to be alive. It looked very terrifying.
In the middle, a fat middle-aged man with a greasy face stood in front of the carriage. It was obvious that he was the minor official who was threatening them. Behind him stood a few men in black.
Probably because he did not expect Jiang Ming to be a young man, a hint of surprise flashed in the minor official’s eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. His beady eyes narrowed, and he smiled proudly.
“Sir, please follow me.”
The princess had never seen such a scene before. Looking at the trembling horse, her body trembled as well when she thought about it.
This horse would not stand up and charge at them later, right?
Jiang Ming glanced at the princess’s chest, which was tightly pressed against his. He felt the princess squeezing his arm. He was silent for a few minutes.
Was he supposed to enjoy this?
He shook his head. He had to deal with the minor official first.
Zhu An’an and Zhu Asi had already walked over. They glared at the minor official and threatened to kill him.
“Who killed the coachman and the horse?”
Seeing Zhu An’an and Zhu Asi’s imposing manner, the minor official was instantly shocked, but he instantly recovered his senses and was not afraid at all.
“This is necessary to take Lord Ning Caichen to the king. If he is unhappy, I can compensate him with double the number of coachmen and horses.”
“I think you and your subordinates can pay with your lives.”
Zhu An’an was eloquent.
The minor official unconsciously took a step back. Just as he was about to say something, Zhu Asi had already rushed over.
The minor official instantly felt as if his neck had been pierced, and there was a slight stabbing pain.
His eyes were also spinning. Just when he thought he would fall to the ground, he had already been tossed to Zhu An’an.
Zhu Asi restrained him with his sword pressed against his neck.
The minor official felt a dull pain in his neck. It was obvious that blood had seeped out.
He was instantly scared out of his wits and said shakily, “Please spare my life, my lord. I will prepare the horses and coachman now.”
“Then what about the lives of the horse and the coachman here?”
Jiang Ming held his chin, and a faint coldness appeared in his eyes.
He clearly had not done anything, but the minor official felt a chill down his spine for no reason. He did not dare to move at all. He calmed down and said, “These worthless lives are nothing. I can give you as many as you want.”
When the few officials saw that their master had been subdued, they dared not make even the slightest move. They could only watch anxiously.
Even though some of them were about to reach the Deity Transformation Stage, they still could not do anything.
“So, you think your life is very valuable?”
Jiang Ming asked casually.
“This…”
The minor official could not see Jiang Ming’s expression clearly. He did not understand what Jiang Ming wanted to do, so he dared not reply.
“Since you think so, then use your life to pay for it.”
Zhu Asi roughly understood what Jiang Ming meant. He continued to talk to him and looked at Jiang Ming tentatively.
Jiang Ming nodded.
Zhu Asi actually understood what he meant. They had a certain tacit understanding between them now.
Upon hearing this, the minor official felt like he was about to faint. He hurriedly said, “Sir, please spare my life. I said the wrong thing.”
“This isn’t about saying the wrong thing.”
Zhu Asi killed the minor official with one slash, then cut off his head. He grabbed the minor official’s hair and held his head.
“Ah!”
Seeing this scene again, the princess still could not stand it and cried out in surprise.
Seeing the headless corpse, one of the subordinates could not calm down, and his body trembled.
He fell to the ground and cried, “Sir.”
Zhu Asi threw the head over. Zhu An’an took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to Zhu Asi.
“You’re very considerate, but I already have one.”
He smiled at Zhu An’an and took a handkerchief from his pocket. He wiped the blood and threw it on the head of the minor official.
“Consider it my greeting gift to this minor official,” Zhu Asi said.
“Give this to the king and tell him that I’m definitely going to the Long family.”
Jiang Ming’s attitude was nonchalant, and he did not seem to care.
Only Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an knew that there was a hint of a threat in his words.
His thoughts were simple.
Since the king sent such an ordinary person to stop them, it was a sign of contempt for them. They had to give the king an equal-sized gift in return.
“We want to avenge our boss!”
The eyes of the subordinates instantly turned red, and they released a magic array formation with their hands.
The magic array formation emitted a blood-red light that flashed faintly in the air and shone on Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an’s heads.
Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an were not to be trifled with. They gripped the swords in their hands tightly and injected power into them, cutting the array formation in one go.
The combined strength of the two of them was more than twice as strong as the combined strength of the subordinates.
The moment it was cut, the array shattered.
The subordinates spat out large mouthfuls of blood.
Zhu Asi scoffed at these people. “They really overestimate themselves.”
The subordinates did not expect the people around Jiang Ming to be so strong. They regretted fighting them.
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world!
“Do you understand what I said just now?”
Jiang Ming looked at the subordinates of these minor officials and spoke with a smile.
“Lord Ning Caichen, we understand.”
