Jinyiwei: Starting by Killing a Traitorous Superior – Chapter 8

Ch 8: Unexpected Joy

Of course, Jiang Chen also understood that if the people he chose were too inferior, the Battalion Commander also had the power to refuse.

Therefore, he had to act cautiously, but generally speaking, Battalion Commanders would not be so uncooperative.

However, Jiang Chen was also clear in his heart that although these Jinyiwei Warriors were loyal and reliable, at most they could only help him run errands and handle some daily trivial matters.

Their cultivation was too weak to become effective assistants in battle, and they could not play any key role.

But even so, Jiang Chen did not despise them because of this, because he knew very well that everyone had their value, and as long as they were used well, they could play an unexpected role.

“Let’s go, everyone, today I’m the host, we won’t go home until we’re drunk!”

Jiang Chen shouted loudly, his voice filled with a kind of boldness.

His words were like a warm current, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of these Jinyiwei Warriors.

They responded one after another, their faces filled with excited smiles.

In this world where gold, silver, and copper coins were the main currency, silver was undoubtedly extremely precious and valuable.

According to the conversion rules of this world, one tael of silver was equal to a full thousand copper coins.

The Capital City was the heart of the Great Ming Dynasty, the most prosperous city in the entire Great Ming, and prices were naturally rising.

However, even in the Capital City with such high prices, five taels of silver was enough for a family of three to cover their food, clothing, and expenses for a year.

However, when Jiang Chen searched Li Chengqi and Jue Ming and found a full eight hundred taels of silver notes, he couldn’t help but feel a surge of joy in his heart.

It should be known that this was not a small amount, but a huge sum of money that was enough to make many people jealous and excited.

Eight hundred taels of silver was almost an astronomical figure for ordinary people.

His group arrived in a mighty manner at the largest Wine Shop in the West City District—Gathering Heroes Pavilion.

The place was luxuriously decorated, with guests like clouds, and it was one of the top-end Wine Shops in the Capital City.

They found a spacious private room, ordered a large table full of wine and dishes, and began to taste them.

At the table, twelve Jinyiwei Warriors toasted Jiang Chen one after another, their words full of flattery, and their faces full of ingratiation.

Jiang Chen accepted with pleasure, unceremoniously enjoying their flattery.

He knew very well that this was also a means of winning people’s hearts.

As a superior, if one always behaved with high moral character and never smiled, then subordinates would often feel greatly pressured and difficult to approach.

And appropriately accepting subordinates’ flattery and ingratiation could narrow the distance between each other.

By the time the banquet ended, it was already noon.

Jiang Chen’s True Qi was strong, so some ordinary Huadiao Wine would naturally not have any effect on him.

After saying goodbye to everyone, he came to the street and began to observe the Sin Points above people’s heads.

The Sin Points of most people on this street were only 1-2. Those with more than 3 could basically have their ferocity seen on their faces.

For example, some Martial World People holding swords had Sin Points that even reached a dozen.

“Even if I kill all these people, I’m afraid I won’t be able to gather enough for one Lottery Draw opportunity, right?”

Jiang Chen observed the pedestrians on the street, and a sense of disappointment rose in his heart.

Just at this moment, a number appeared in Jiang Chen’s field of vision, and he immediately stopped.

This was a middle-aged man with an extremely ordinary appearance. His face was not outstanding, and it could even be said to be unremarkable.

However, upon closer inspection, it could be found that this person’s complexion was slightly gloomy, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable.

But even so, if only looking at the appearance, he was still just an ordinary Martial World Person without any noteworthy characteristics.

But the number above his head betrayed his identity.

“369!”

This number made Jiang Chen’s heart flutter.

If he were to kill him, then he would at least be able to obtain three Lottery Draw opportunities.

Just at this moment, this person’s gaze also looked towards Jiang Chen.

But he only took one look before turning around and leaving in a hurry.

How could Jiang Chen easily let go of this prey?

He tightly locked onto the other party’s figure, his footsteps light and swift, closely following behind him, maintaining a certain distance to avoid being noticed by the other party.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, like a hunter and prey in pursuit, shuttled through the streets intertwined with prosperity and silence.

As the journey deepened, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians around, and the environment became more and more remote.

Finally, they came to an extremely remote place, where there was silence all around, with only occasional insect chirps and wind sounds.

At a dark corner, this mysterious figure stopped, did not continue to move forward, but slowly drew the Longsword from his waist.

The blade flashed with a cold light, like a venomous snake about to be unsheathed, coldly staring at the place around the bend, waiting for the person who dared to follow him to reveal a flaw and give a fatal blow.

Jiang Chen did show up, and this person’s figure flashed, like a black lightning bolt, and the Longsword in his hand brought up an extremely fierce Sword Qi, and he slashed with his sword.

This sword was stable, accurate, and ruthless, and every ounce of strength was concentrated to the extreme, as if vowing to behead the enemy in front of him with one sword.

However, Jiang Chen’s reaction speed far exceeded the other party’s expectations.

Faced with this thunderous blow, his figure did not move, but two fingers were gently raised, making an elegant movement like plucking a flower.

Just as the Longsword was about to touch his skin at the critical moment, his two fingers steadily pinched the tip of the sword, freezing this sword that was enough to split mountains and rocks in mid-air.

“Innate Realm!”

The man’s face changed suddenly, and a trace of unbelievable horror flashed in his eyes.

It should be known that experts of the Innate Realm were already rare in the Jianghu. He never expected that this seemingly ordinary young man actually possessed the cultivation of the Innate Realm.

He immediately wanted to pull back the Longsword in his hand, attempting to break free from Jiang Chen’s control.

But Jiang Chen exerted a little force with his fingertips, and like destroying dry weeds, he violently shattered the Longsword in his hand.

Only a loud “clang” was heard, and the Longsword turned into countless fragments, splashing in all directions.

And that powerful force was transmitted along the sword to his arm, causing his entire arm to feel a burst of soreness and numbness, almost losing consciousness.

“Withdraw!”

Faced with Jiang Chen’s unfathomable strength, this person’s heart was already filled with despair.

He knew very well that the enemy in front of him was by no means someone he could match. Continuing to entangle would only be humiliating himself, and he might even lose his life.

So, he made a decisive decision, attempting to turn around and escape from this dangerous place.
