639 Blocking
Deep down, Jiang Ming did not care at all.
What could Madman Junior do to him?
Upon hearing Jiang Ming say this to him, Madman Junior looked at him in disbelief. Seeing that his tone was calm, and he did not seem to be lying at all, he was even more surprised.
Was Ning Caichen a fool?
He grinned.
Since Ning Caichen was a donkey who only knew how to use his fists and not his brain, he should be easy to deal with!
After that, he would be able to work with the people from the Black Prison and defeat them in one fell swoop.
“Yes.”
Only then did Madman Junior’s subordinates understand what Madman Junior meant.
Next, they were going to visit the Long family.
Jiang Ming brought the five of them to the carriage. There were three carriages in total.
Seeing Jiang Ming enter one of the carriages, the princess followed him without hesitation.
She could not let go of this chance to be alone with Ning Caichen, as it would help her confuse Ning Caichen.
“I don’t know what this princess has in mind for Mister.”
Zhu An’an grinned and stepped forward to pull the princess down. “Go to the other carriage. Don’t get on here.”
“Why?”
The princess was unhappy.
She could listen to Ning Caichen since she was at a disadvantage, but she did not want to listen to the two people beside him.
Zhu An’an was rendered speechless.
Didn’t the princess understand the situation? She was now equivalent to a captive!
“It’s okay. Let her in.”
Jiang Ming was curious about what the princess wanted to do, so he allowed her to stay with him.
“Did you see that? Since Ning Caichen has spoken, get in the other carriage!”
Hearing Jiang Ming’s words, the princess became smug. She imitated Zhu Asi’s disdainful gaze and glanced at Zhu An’an.
Zhu An’an was not easy to bully. She partially unsheathed the sword on her waist and smiled faintly. “The sword on my waist has not been sharpened for a long time.”
The princess suddenly felt a chill behind her, and she could no longer hold back her anger. She hurriedly sat down. She scoffed at Zhu An’an internally.
She would not lower herself to Zhu An’an’s level.
Zhu An’an and Zhu Asi were sitting in the carriage at the back, while the monk and Madman Junior had already entered the one in the front.
The princess tucked her hair behind her ears and pretended to be coy. “Ning Caichen, I think you’re very suitable to stay in Qingmiao Kingdom. My father is many times better than the king of the Daliang Kingdom.”
“I’m not interested.”
Jiang Ming smiled.
He had thought that the princess wanted to do something, but it turned out that she wanted to rope him into coming to the Qingmiao Kingdom.
It was not as if he did not know that accompanying the ruler was not an easy feat. Wouldn’t things be the same with the king of the Daliang Kingdom and the King of Qingmiao Kingdom?
Moreover, he was not attached to the king of the Daliang Kingdom, so he could leave whenever he wanted.
The princess could not believe that she was suddenly rejected.
Was Ning Caichen an idiot?
She hurriedly brought up the Qingmiao Kingdom again. “As long as you are willing to stay in the Qingmiao Kingdom and serve my father, you can have anything you want. If my father disagrees, I will give the orders.”
The princess had other intentions for Ning Caichen to come to the Qingmiao Kingdom.
She remembered Ning Caichen’s crime of kidnapping her. When the time came, she would be the princess, and Ning Caichen would be the official. Wouldn’t she be able to order Ning Caichen around at will? She could also punish Ning Caichen for kidnapping her!
The princess had a good plan, but unfortunately, Jiang Ming did not buy it.
“There’s no need for that.”
Once again, she was rejected by Jiang Ming. The princess opened her mouth but did not know what to say. She felt angry and annoyed.
She had never been treated like this before. Ning Caichen was really something else!
She had already offered such preferential treatment, so why was Ning Caichen still rejecting her offers?
What did Ning Caichen want?
She stole a glance at Jiang Ming and saw his calm expression. He looked like he did not care about fame and fortune. The princess pursed her lips and did not know what to say.
She had already mentioned everything she needed to, and there was nothing else she could do to tempt Ning Caichen.
However, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was also filled with confusion. In the end, she really could not hold it in anymore.
“Ning Caichen…”
Just as she said his name, the carriage suddenly braked to a halt.
The princess did not expect it to be so fast. Moreover, it seemed like she was forced to stop. The rest of her words were stuck in her throat.
Her mind was also focused on stabilizing her body. She did not have the slightest desire to continue chatting. She only felt that she was very unlucky.
The coachman was really useless. He could not even control the carriage properly.
When Jiang Ming heard the princess call him, he did not bother to ask what she wanted.
The princess did not have anything useful to say, after all.
Compared to the princess’s panic, he sat very steadily in the carriage, showing no signs of being pushed back by the carriage’s inertia.
Knowing that someone had stopped him, Jiang Ming asked impatiently, without even opening the curtain, “Who is it?”
They were probably from the Daliang Kingdom. Who else could stop them at such a critical time?
Now, it was only them. If he went over, he would harm a part of their interests.
Sure enough, the person outside seemed to be speaking respectfully, but he was obviously forcing him to submit. “Lord Ning Caichen, I am from the Daliang Kingdom. I am here under the orders of the king to invite you over. The king would like to have tea and chat with you.”
Jiang Ming chuckled.
He was probably afraid that he would hinder his brother, Murong Kuan, from reaching an agreement with the Long family.
“I know. You can go back now. I don’t want to accept the invitation.”
His expression was serious.
Today, he had to go to the Long family.
Even If a god stood in his way, he would kill that god.
“The king emphasized that we must invite you over. Please cooperate with me.”
The minor official outside the carriage did not know what Jiang Ming was thinking. He felt that Jiang Ming was just a coward. So, he tried to suppress him verbally.
“Coachman, continue going forward.”
Jiang Ming did not want to talk to this kind of person, so he instructed the coachman to move again.
The princess remained silent at the side. She was puzzled.
How did the king of the Daliang Kingdom’s men receive news of Ning Caichen’s side so quickly? He even sent people over! It was bizarre.
“Yes.”
The coachman was loyal and did not waste any time. He immediately pulled the reins and planned to charge forward.
“Wait!”
Upon hearing Jiang Ming’s words, the minor official outside the carriage panicked, but he quickly calmed down and shouted anxiously, “Lord Ning Caichen, I’m the king’s favorite. If you hurt me today, you won’t be able to bear the consequences in the future!”
A threat?
Jiang Ming smiled again.
It was not an empty threat. Alas, Ning Caichen was not afraid.
Just as the coachman was trying to ask Jiang Ming if he wanted to continue, Jiang Ming said without hesitation, “Continue! Don’t worry about what the person outside the carriage says. I’ll bear all the consequences!”
