Chapter 163 Arrow Rain
"Jiang Yueming! Get out here right now!"
Ye Mo jumped down from the carriage in a huff, her eyes darting around, searching for Jiang Yueming's figure.
If she finds him, she'll definitely turn Jiang Yueming into pig feed!
"Jiang Yueming! Get out here right now!"
Ye Molian moved back and forth lightly in the escort team's rest area, searching for Jiang Yueming, and passersby made way for her.
The head镖师 (escort leader) just said that the entire镖队 (escort team) should treat Jiang Yueming and Ye Mo like treasures.
Now, who dares to provoke Bao when he's angry?
Jiang Yueming, who was feeding the horses, heard Ye Mo's roar from afar, yawned, and slowly approached her.
"What are you doing! Why are you yelling like that?"
"Tell me, did you write that letter?!" Ye Mo stood with her hands on her hips, her pretty face flushed with anger.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueming didn't directly answer Ye Mo, but instead counted on her fingers and said, "The date isn't right!"
"What's wrong with the date?" Ye Mo looked at Jiang Yueming warily with her beautiful eyes.
"This sow shouldn't be in heat! Hehehe."
After saying that, Jiang Yueming stuck out her tongue at Ye Mo, then turned and ran away with a mischievous look on her face.
"Jiang! Yue!! Ming!!!"
Ye Moyu's face darkened instantly, and she immediately reached out her slender hand to slap Jiang Yueming's face.
Soon, the entire caravan was enacting a scene resembling a sow... an eagle catching chicks.
The previously somber and gloomy atmosphere was instantly shattered. Everyone watched with amusement as Jiang Yueming was chased by Ye Mo, and they all looked forward to Jiang Yueming getting beaten up.
An hour later, the caravan finished packing and resumed their journey.
Inside one of the carriages, Jiang Yueming, with a sorrowful expression, squatted on the carriage floor drawing circles, with two bright red handprints on her face.
"Oh, are you cursing me by drawing circles, Jiang Xiaoming?" Ye Mo squatted down and looked at the small circles on the car panel, laughing angrily.
How come she never realized before that Jiang Yueming was so childish? Sometimes his every move was like that of a child who had never grown up.
However, they are very reliable in critical moments.
Ye Mo didn't know what to say. She wanted to give him a stern lecture and make him more mature and stable.
But then he looked at me with that pitiful, childlike expression, and my heart softened. The words of criticism that were about to come out just wouldn't come out.
If you indulge him, he'll immediately turn into a naughty child!
Ye Mo both loved and hated it!
"I curse you to turn into a pig!" Jiang Yueming, who was drawing circles, did not notice that Ye Mo was already beside him, and said all the pent-up frustration in his heart.
"You're a lazy pig! And a stupid donkey! I told you not to force yourself, why are you still protecting me?!"
"You're not the only one hurting; it hurts me too. I curse you to turn into a pig so you can be kept in a pen!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Mo's eyes sparkled, and her gaze towards Jiang Yueming was filled with endless tenderness. Her heart warmed, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips.
The next moment, she opened her smooth, fragrant arms, and for the first time, a look of doting affection appeared on her beautiful face.
"Come here, Jiang Xiaoming, let your sister give you a hug!"
"Why?!"
Before Jiang Yueming could react, the girl's unique floral fragrance instantly enveloped him, and he could clearly feel Ye Mo's body temperature!
"Ye Mo, you..." Jiang Yueming blushed and couldn't help but swallow.
"Shh! Don't talk, just let me hug you for a while."
Ye Mo's sweet voice seemed to have a hypnotic power, making Jiang Yueming unable to resist her requests. Gradually, he felt his eyelids getting heavier and he fell asleep.
She didn't know how much time had passed when Ye Mo looked down slightly and realized that he had fallen asleep. A smile appeared on her lips.
She gently placed Jiang Yueming between her legs, caressed his handsome face with her delicate hand, slowly closed her eyes, bent down, and tenderly kissed his forehead.
"If only we could stay like this forever."
...
boom!boom!
Halfway through the journey, a hail of arrows suddenly rained down, and the sounds of battle erupted once more.
The bandits who attempted to rob the goods seemed to be relatively weak, and they were quickly defeated by Li Jian and his men.
"Speak! Who sent you?"
Li Jian had grabbed a minor leader and was questioning him; he desperately needed to know some useful information.
Because we are about to enter the Black Thunder Territory, where a powerful bandit gang called Black Thunder Cliff is located.
No matter which escort agency wants to pass through this area, they won't let them go easily without offering some kind of bribe.
We've only just passed through the Starfall Empire, and we've already been robbed one after another. Clearly, the current situation confirms what the chief镖主 (chief镖主) said.
Han Hou's order for the escort agency to transport the White Crane Celestial Sedan Chair was indeed an attempt to kill them!
If Hei Leiya ahead doesn't let them pass, then this will be the last time their escort agency makes this delivery.
"Tell me if Han Hou sent you!" Zhao Yuan's eyes turned cold as he held a knife to the leader's neck and shouted.
A sense of annoyance rose in his heart. He had worked at the Loyalty Escort Agency for over thirty years, and he couldn't possibly stand by and watch it be destroyed by someone else.
But life can sometimes be so overwhelming that you can't breathe, and you have to swallow many things helplessly.
Han Hou is rich and powerful, while the Loyal and Righteous Escort Agency is just a small organization. If they really want to tear off the mask and go against Han Hou...
In an instant, the entire escort agency could be reduced to ashes. If it weren't for the pressure of making a living, who would be willing to escort this white crane fairy sedan chair?
The disciples who accompanied this shipment had already written their wills before setting off, and were prepared for the possibility that they might not return.
Right now, the only thing Zhao Yuan can do is to try his best to save their lives.
If he is fortunate enough to be born into a family at the pinnacle of power in his next life, he will definitely purge the state parasites like Marquis Han!
Let those corrupt capitalists and powerful people all receive the punishment they deserve!
"Speak now! Or I'll kill you right now!"
Zhao Yuan's eyes turned red, and his face showed indignation. He slashed the neck of the minor leader with his blade, leaving a bloody mark.
A sharp pain spread throughout his body, but the leader suddenly grinned and said, "Go ahead and kill me! You're all going to die anyway, I'll be waiting for you in hell."
"Hahaha!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he exerted force with his palm, his cold blade beginning to slash.
"Wait! Don't kill him!"
Seeing that the minor leader was about to die, Jiang Yueming suddenly stopped Zhao Yuan.
"Jiang Yueming, what do you mean? Why are you obstructing me?" Zhao Yuan stopped what he was doing and looked coldly at Jiang Yueming.
He was already annoyed by the small leader's words, and now he was interrupted by Jiang Yueming. If it weren't for the mysterious expert behind Jiang Yueming, he would have been furious.
Zhao Yuan would never listen to Jiang Yueming's words and spare the life of the minor leader.
"You're pretty brave, aren't you? You've got a knife to your throat, and you're still being stubborn."
Jiang Yueming did not answer Zhao Yuan's question. As she walked up to the leader, she inadvertently noticed that the blood on his neck had stained the cold blade red.
"You little brat, what are you? You dare to talk to me!" The leader looked down on Jiang Yueming, who was so young.
If you're going to kill me, then hurry up! What kind of nonsense is this, using a little brat to humiliate me?
Snapped!
Jiang Yueming suddenly slapped the leader across the face and laughed, "Who do you think I am? When I was drinking with Black Tiger, you were probably peeing somewhere!"
His slap stunned Zhao Yuan and Li Jian, who were standing nearby. This little leader was at least a Void Soul Realm cultivator; if he hadn't been tied up, they would have been shocked.
If Jiang Yueming rashly went up and slapped someone hard, he would definitely be torn to pieces.
"Jiang Yueming, what exactly are you trying to do?" Li Jian asked, his brows furrowing slightly.
He always felt that Jiang Yueming was no ordinary person, whether it was his knowledge of jargon or his calm demeanor as he went up and slapped her.
This is not something an ordinary person could have!
"You've reminded me. Go get some paper and pen," Jiang Yueming said, turning to Li Jian.
Paper and pen?
Li Jian was very puzzled. Why did he need these things?
"Hey, Jiang Yueming, you..." Li Jian spoke again.
"Go get it"
Jiang Yueming still instructed Li Jian to get paper and pen, his calm voice carrying a hint of unyielding authority.
Upon hearing this, Li Jian was slightly taken aback, but had no choice but to do as Jiang Yueming said, feeling a pang of annoyance.
He was clearly the one in charge of this escort mission, but now he was being bossed around by his guest.
"Who are you?!"
After Li Jian left, the leader's eyes darkened as if he had remembered something terrifying, and he asked urgently.
"Who am I?" Jiang Yueming rolled her eyes, patted the little leader's face, and smiled, "You can call me Dad."
"Pah! You think you can be my dad?!"
Jiang Yueming had clearly angered him. He could die, but he absolutely could not be insulted!
Seeing the leader's defiant expression, Jiang Yueming smiled and didn't take it too seriously, saying, "Do you believe that you'll call me 'Dad' yourself in a moment?"
"You're talking nonsense! Even if I die, I won't make a sound!"
"Yes, that shows backbone."
Jiang Yueming nodded slightly, then patted the leader's face in praise.
Zhao Yuan, standing to the side, glanced at their interaction with a hint of disdain.
Jiang Yueming is still just a greenhorn, and his temperament is truly childish and laughable.
He only dared to talk back to him because he was in a disadvantageous position as a minor leader.
If this little leader really calls him "Dad," Zhao Yuan is willing to be his grandson!
"Enough! Jiang Yueming, since you're not going to say what you're going to do, then get out of my way and don't get in my way," Zhao Yuan said, trying to keep his emotions in check.
"Fine, I'll let you pass and kill him, and your entire caravan will have to pay with their lives," Jiang Yueming said with a mocking laugh.
After saying this, Zhao Yuan's expression turned solemn as he asked, "What do you mean?"
"Don't you know? He's Black Thunder Cliff's advance disciple; they're definitely going to rob your caravan!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yuan took a slight step back, his body trembled, and the iron knife in his hand fell to the ground, his eyes filled with terror.
"It's all over, it's all over..."
He knew that once Black Thunder Cliff made its move, it would be almost impossible for them to cross the Black Thunder Territory. They only had two ancient cultivators on this trip, while Black Thunder Cliff had three!
Even one more cultivator at the Primordial Realm would be enough to destroy the remaining disciples at the Condensation Realm.
If they didn't go through the Black Thunder territory and instead took a detour, it would definitely waste time, and Han Hou would still be able to find fault with them.
Reality is always so cruel; those with power and money can always easily manipulate the poor.
It's like working a job; you can quit because you think the pay is too low, but someone will always take the job.
Once you lose this income, you won't even have a chance to survive, let alone talk about poetry and distant places.
Ideals and dreams are luxuries, only rich kids have the right to have them. We poor people are struggling to even be corporate slaves, how can we talk about ideals?
This is what the world looks like today.
"That's right, I'm from Black Thunder Cliff. Kill me then! Come on, kill me! Let's all go to hell together!"
Seeing Zhao Yuan's desperate expression, the henchman felt a surge of pleasure and continued to mock him.
Snapped!Snapped!
Seeing the smug look on the leader's face, Jiang Yueming slapped him twice more and said, "Look at your face, you're quite the barker."
"If you weren't still of any use to me, I would have had Zhao Yuan kill you long ago!"
After being beaten, the gang leader straightened up, a sinister smile slowly spreading across his face: "I see you're scared, aren't you?"
"You brat! Just you wait, I, Hei Leiya, will kill you sooner or later!"
