Chapter 103: Progress Or Retreat

A sudden scream interrupted Jiang Ming and Ji Bochang’s train of thought, and Jiang Ming also quickly helped Ji Bochang up!

That voice sounded a lot like Jin Feng’s, which aroused Jiang Ming’s suspicion!

He walked out of the living room and headed towards the direction of the sound…

But in the corridor, Chen Dabao was scolding a relatively older, fat maidservant; there was a puddle of soup on the ground, and a few pieces of chicken.

“What’s going on?”

“Uh… Lord Jiang! It’s the servant’s fault, she accidentally dropped the stewed chicken soup…”

Chen Dabao explained to Jiang Ming with a smile, then he turned his head and continued to scold the fat maidservant for being as stupid as a pig.

That fat maidservant squatted down, sadly cleaning up the broken pieces of the earthen jar on the ground…

“You… what’s your name?” Jiang Ming walked up to her and asked, bending over.

“Cui, Cuicui…”

“Cuicui?”

Jiang Ming pinched the fat maidservant’s arm again, and the maidservant let out a ‘hmph’ of pain.

“Cry! Aren’t you in pain?”

“This servant dares not…”

The fat maidservant was almost crying because Jiang Ming bullied her!

“I’ll tell you to cry, you cry, just like that… otherwise, I will punish you severely!”

“Ah?”

Hearing this, the fat maidservant trembled all over, and Jiang Ming pinched her again.

“Ah!”

The maidservant dared not disobey, so she screamed again.

Although it seemed slightly deliberate…

But indeed, her voice sounded quite like Jin Feng’s…

“Lord Jiang, I will definitely punish her severely, and make her not dare to be startled again, affecting you…” Chen Dabao said with flattery.

“Who said I want to punish her?”

Jiang Ming took out a small amount of loose silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the fat maidservant’s hand.

“You are not allowed to make things difficult for her, otherwise I will not spare you!”

“I know, I know, I definitely won’t make things difficult for her…” Chen Dabao nodded repeatedly in fear.

“Hiss~!”

Jiang Ming frowned and fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, “Strange…”

“Lord Jiang, what are you thinking about…?”

“Hehe!”

Jiang Ming smiled lightly: “This fat maidservant’s scream sounds a lot like the Prefect’s Wife’s, I suspect… could it be that you, young man, did something to the Prefect’s Wife…?”

“Ah? No, no! Really no! Really not me!”

Chen Dabao knelt on the ground in fright, his two knees were trembling violently.

Originally, Jiang Ming was just joking to tease his brother-in-law.

But… Chen Dabao’s performance was a bit too abnormal… his legs were trembling with fear!

And he dared not look Jiang Ming in the eye, his eyes always looked towards other angles.

With his terrible expression management, in front of Jiang Ming, it was no different from a little kid taking off his pants for Jiang Ming to see.

Jiang Ming immediately keenly noticed that this grandson definitely had a problem!

Actually, for a special forces soldier, or an old police detective, talking to you a few words, looking at your reaction, you know if you have anything, and how many years should be sentenced?

Once there was an old policeman, who originally went to repair a car, but when the repairman saw him coming, his legs were trembling so that he couldn’t walk, and he determined that this person must have something wrong, and it was a homicide case!

Later, when they checked, it was indeed the case!

Jiang Ming kept a straight face, joked with Chen Dabao for a few more sentences, and then went back to continue chatting with Ji Bochang.

In fact, as the situation has developed to today, Jiang Ming has realized that wanting to be like before… a low-profile rich man, is no longer possible!

His original idea was to contract the mountain peak of Chen Family Village, and then mine coal, forge weapons, and have thousands of acres of good farmland… to make himself a commercial tycoon like Young Master Luo, and then use Ji Bochang as a “protective umbrella”, to live a leisurely life in Du Kang Prefecture!

But because of the involvement with the Xianbei people, and the annihilation of the Xiongnu’s main force, all of this could not be turned back!

His strength no longer allowed him to continue to keep a low profile! Otherwise, it would instead bring about trouble and problems…

Since he can’t be a well-behaved, rich man.

Then, if you don’t advance, you retreat, and now you can only go to the Yan Kingdom’s high-level officials to continue the game!

And wanting to ‘enter the game.’

The key is precisely this Princess, whose name is Ji Shishi!

Jiang Ming and Ji Bochang continued to deeply understand this Princess’s preferences and temper, as well as living habits, and basically, he already had a good idea in mind!

This time, Jiang Ming and Ji Bochang went to the capital city to meet the Yan Kingdom’s Monarch.

In addition to ‘testing the waters’ to probe the depths, and resolving the latent political crisis, taking down this ‘Princess’ is the top priority!

Now, he is not alone, but the leaders of two tribes, Jiang Ming must ensure that the Yan Mountain area has a peaceful political ecology!

Originally, he wanted to stay with Ji Bochang at his father-in-law’s house, and early tomorrow morning, the two of them would go together to Jicheng, the capital city of Yan Kingdom.

But because of some “special reasons”, Jiang Ming temporarily changed his mind, taking Ji Bochang and moving to his original humble abode, and let Ji Bochang stay here for a night!

As soon as he entered the house, the reporting Prefecture Soldiers came to report the situation on the rear: the Tuoba Tribe of the Xianbei had already conquered Gu County of Zhongshan State, the battle was very beautiful, the casualty ratio was very low, and they captured a large amount of provisions and supplies.

“Prefect, how is it?”

Jiang Ming smiled and said: “Now the Xianbei people listen to us very well, they occupy Gu County, it is like a sword hanging over Zhongshan State, so… Zhongshan State would not easily send troops to support Qi Kingdom, and this… is also our gift to the Monarch.”

“Um!”

Ji Bochang nodded: “It’s just that… the Monarch has a great prejudice against the Xianbei people, moreover, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly beside the bed? I think the Monarch will definitely annihilate them after using the Xianbei people to check Zhongshan State, Lord Jiang, you also dare not trust the Xianbei people too much, these barbarians, don’t speak of faith!”

“Um… We will see the situation then!”

……

The two of them talked until late at night, after Jiang Ming settled Ji Bochang to sleep, he went out and returned to his father-in-law’s house.

He secretly flipped over the wall from the backyard… wanting to search here overnight!

Jiang Ming’s first year in the army, he was a Scout.

To find out if a place has any ‘ghosts’, or if a person has any ‘shit’, that’s just like playing a game!

Soon, his keen ears heard ‘unusual’ movement underground, and he found the entrance to the cellar.

Following the sound, he opened the cellar door and gradually sneaked in, and the sound became clearer and clearer.

It was indeed Jin Feng!

She was indeed here!

Jiang Ming also heard her talking to Chen Dabao…

“Dog thing! You are dreaming! I will not give birth to your children!”

“Hehe, I am dreaming? After another year, when the child is born, I will see if you can still talk back?”

“You beast, let me go! Otherwise, the Prefect and Lord Jiang will not let you go!”

“Bah!”

Chen Dabao cursed: “I have no way back! I tell you! If you are obedient and give birth to children for me, I will spare your life, if you don’t cooperate, I…”

“What are you going to do?”

“I will kill you! Let you completely disappear from this world!”
