At this time of day, it is around 6:30 in the morning.
While still asleep, Young Master Luo was suddenly 'forced and locked up' by two county soldiers, and dragged off the bed from the embrace of two women like a dead dog.
The two prostitutes screamed in terror, but the county soldiers drew their knives and intimidated them... and they immediately became obedient!
"Who are you? How dare you!"
"I am your grandfather!"
"Smack!"
A hard slap landed squarely on Young Master Luo's face.
The master is awesome, and now the servants can stand tall too!
The county soldiers don't care about you, Young Master Luo, or that dog of a man.
If you dare to make a sound, we'll use force against you!
Young Master Luo was dragged to the 'underground clubhouse' in the backyard of Zuifeng Pavilion without even putting on clothes, his buttocks exposed.
By this time, Young Master Xu had already been moved away.
Two soldiers kicked Young Master Luo into Young Master Xu's prison cell...
"you?"
Upon seeing Jiang Ming, Young Master Luo was utterly shocked!
He couldn't understand... He had no grudge against this young master of Qin, so why would the other party make things difficult for him?
"What are you doing, young master? I have no grudge against you!"
"Gag him!"
"Wait a minute! Young master, I can help you return to Qin... um!"
......
The county soldiers didn't care about any of that. At their master's command, they stuffed Luo Gongzi's mouth with rags and then tied him up hand and foot!
"Liang the Drunkard, get to work!"
Alright!
......
Liang the Drunkard is just a tool; he has a simple mind and does whatever Lord Jiang says!
"ah!"
With a scream like a pig being slaughtered, Young Master Luo was in so much pain that his soul almost left his body!
His two eyes stared at Jiang Ming as if he wanted to devour him.
"I know you have a lot to say to me, and I have a lot to say to you too..."
Jiang Ming smiled calmly, "Let's talk about it after you've recovered..."
"Keep an eye on him! Don't talk to him!"
"Understood!"
......
Jiang Ming didn't linger. After seeing Young Master Luo faint from the pain, he left Zuifeng Pavilion and went directly to the Prefect's Mansion!
Inside Ji Bochang's bedroom in the prefectural governor's residence.
Ji Bochang suffered two large gashes on his head from Jin Feng's blows, and his injuries were quite severe. He groaned and groaned, unable to sleep all night due to the pain.
When he saw Jiang Ming coming to find him, he couldn't hold back his emotions, hugged Jiang Ming and burst into tears!
"Mr. Jiang! My life is so miserable!"
"Alright, alright, it's all over now!"
"Jin Feng, you've already got her in the mountains? She won't turn back halfway, will she?"
"No, no! Rest assured, Your Excellency..."
Jiang Ming comforted her, saying, "Madam Jin Feng is currently receiving treatment from the mountain god in the mountains and won't be back for ten days to half a month..."
"That's good! That's good!"
During his conversation with Ji Bochang, Jiang Ming carefully observed Ji Bochang's facial micro-expressions to discern whether he was truly foolish or feigning it.
"Oh, right... Mr. Jiang!"
Ji Bochang grabbed Jiang Ming's hand nervously: "I heard that you defeated the Xiongnu in the Yanshan Mountains, and that you were cooperating with the Xianbei?"
"Oh......"
Jiang Ming smiled faintly: "It's all thanks to the Prefect's divine might. The Prefect intimidated the Xianbei people, and I took advantage of the conflict between the Xianbei and the Xiongnu, therefore..."
"Oh dear!"
Ji Bo Chang clicked his tongue and said, "This matter has already reached the ears of the king... The king wants to see you! It seems he intends to reward you handsomely!"
"Tsk!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming frowned and clicked his tongue!
His worst fears have come true...
After the great victory at Yanshan, Jiang Ming knew he couldn't keep it a secret, so he repeatedly instructed his subordinates not to "talk nonsense" to outsiders. If anyone asked, they should all say that the prefect had commanded the troops well and not mention their own names...
As it turned out, someone still let it slip!
"What's wrong, Mr. Jiang? You seem quite unhappy..."
"cough!"
Jiang Ming frowned and said, "My lord, people are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. The mountain god's order to me is to serve the prefect well and protect you. If this reaches the king's ears, and the king uses me... then what will happen to you, my lord?"
"this......"
Ji Bochang stroked his mustache and said, "I've thought it over. If the king employs you, we can serve in the same court and help each other... Seriously, Mr. Jiang, can you really ignore me?"
"Tsk! Oh dear!"
Jiang Ming shook his head and said, "No, no! Your Excellency, the gods cannot be deceived! The task the gods gave me is to serve you well and protect you... If I were to serve in the same court as you, I would be violating the mountain god's command and would be punished... It seems that I, Jiang, will have no choice but to travel elsewhere!"
"Mr. Jiang... what's going on?"
Seeing Jiang Ming get up to leave, Ji Bochang grabbed Jiang Ming's wrist and exclaimed in alarm, "Sir, you can't leave! What will I do if you leave? If the Xianbei people attack again, I won't be able to deal with them!"
"well!"
Seeing that Ji Bochang was almost in tears, Jiang Ming sighed, "I'm also reluctant to leave you, sir... but we have no choice but to go!"
"Mr. Jiang, I'm begging you!"
