C292 Officer is not fat (1/2)
The moment Jiang Xiaobai had grabbed him by the neck, Li Ming had become completely limp, and his body kept sliding downwards. If not for Jiang Xiaobai's arm supporting him, he would have been dead by now.
”Good man, let's talk this out!” Li Ming said with a sobbing tone of voice, ”Hijacking an official of the imperial government is a capital offense!”
”As long as you don't say anything, who can say that you were kidnapped?” Jiang Xiaobai added some strength into his right hand and shouted: ”Smile, smile, don't let them follow!”
Li Ming forced a smile that was uglier than suffering, and said to the yamen runners: ”You guys …. Don't follow me, this official … This official will go to North Tower to attend the banquet! ”
The constables had long seen that Li Ming had been kidnapped.
However, Jiang Xiaobai kept grabbing onto Li Ming's neck from beginning to end, and no one dared to act rashly.
Don't look at how this person was unarmed. He had knocked over seven or eight people just now. If he were to break a neck, wouldn't it be as simple as breaking a cucumber?
Since they did not dare to save anyone and could not pretend that nothing had happened, the yamen runners could only follow them from afar.
Jiang Xiaobai and Li Ming were walking at the front with arms wrapped around each other, as if they were good friends that had not seen each other for many years. The forty to fifty yamen runners followed behind them, walking more than twenty meters away with nervous expressions, as if they were about to face a great enemy.
At first, Chang Zilong was shocked and terrified, but he quickly calmed himself down and limped over to support Li Ming on the right side. ”Lord Li, walk carefully, be careful of the hole in front of you.”
Li Ming was about to cry, ”Master Chang, you … Why do you have to go through so much trouble!? ”
”I have to lead the troops, but my butt is blooming like a flower. There's nothing I can do about it!” Chang Zilong looked miserable.
”Master Chang, I have no other choice. It has already been three days since my Yi Zhou City was occupied by bandits. If I don't hurry up and take it back, and if the imperial government blames me, I won't be able to take the blame! ” Li Ming frowned and said: ”You saw it too, the person in the main hall entered the army camp for him. I did it for him, but it actually hit you, it hurts in my heart!”
Chang Zilong said indignantly: ”We entered the army camp and have eight thousand elites stationed here for more than half a year yet they let me bring the Xiang Army to recover the lost land. How could they have the nerve to send someone to supervise and urge us?”
”Master Chang, you should know that Forbidden Army is used to resist external enemies. As for protecting one's country, that can only be our Xiang Army!” Li Ming said with a worried look on his face, ”Moreover, the position of the Yi Zhou City is special, so General Li's considerations are reasonable. If our Jin Kingdom is not satisfied, we won't be able to eat! ”
”The soldiers of the Great Song are in the land of the Great Song, what do you want, can the Jin Kingdom control it?”
”Lord Chang mustn't speak like that. You must know that Song Jin is an ally!”
”The Allies still refuse to give it to us despite dominating several states?”
As the two of them walked along, arguing with each other, Jiang Xiaobai listened from the side.
Very quickly, a group of people arrived at the North Tower.
The shopkeeper came out from afar and said with a face full of smiles: ”Aiya, Lord Li, Master Chang, Master Bao, please come in!”
Even though he said that, the shopkeeper's face was full of question marks.
governor was a regular customer of this place, but they had never been brought here before. What was going on with those constables following behind them?
Jiang Xiaobai laughed: ”Shopkeeper, today, I will treat you to dinner. Sixth floor. If you have anything good here, just give it to me! ”
”Sixth floor?” Chang Zilong trembled.
Although Cantonment Camp were poor, Chang Zilong still had some assets and family members. He had come to North Tower before and knew how expensive the food on the sixth floor was.
Eating a meal there was enough to bring several tens of carts of food to the Cantonment Camp.
Jiang Xiaobai did not explain either, continuing to carry Li Ming forward.
Li Ming's heart was filled with fear, and he almost couldn't move his legs. Basically, he had been carried upstairs by Jiang Xiaobai.
When he arrived at the fifth floor, he heard the sound of bamboo coming from the sixth floor. Some girls were singing while others were laughing coquettishly.
