âThe scholar really knows how to pick people. If Jiu Zhu doesnât help you, will we all die here without a burial place?â
Those people did not know what to say. A moment later, another person said, âJiu Zhu, we donât want to force you, but our boss is very close to us. If you donât save him, he will really die. Saving a life is the greatest virtue. If you really donât want to save our boss, then we have no choice but to take you away by force. I hope you donât mind.â
âSince you said this, it means that you didnât even think about whether I would mind or not. Why do you have to say this?â Jiang Ming grinned, but he was still puzzled.
What was going on?
Why did not he sense the people from the Zhang family at all? Could it be that their spiritual energy was already much higher than the three of them?
However, how was that possible? If that was really the case, the Zhang family would have heard of it before.
Or could it be that they had seen the boss of the Zhang family before?
âWhat I need to know now is, why did your boss come to us when he was in trouble? Weâre not divine doctors who can save the world. Weâre not even good people. â
Jiang Ming said the last sentence on purpose.
He wanted to see their attitude, and he also wanted to use this to determine whether the boss of the Zhang family could help.
He did not want to be led by the nose, nor did he want to be ordered around like a servant.
Unexpectedly, those people did not cower at all. Instead, they looked straight at Jiang Ming and said, âJiu Zhu, donât worry. We donât have any intention of using you. We are all just asking you to do this.â
As soon as these words were said, their eyes were filled with sincerity.
Jiang Ming could not help but be stunned.
It had to be said that their actions were somewhat difficult for him to understand. He also did not know what they were planning.
However, at this moment, a bell suddenly rang in the surroundings, and the rest of the things were also hit into the air.
Just when Jiang Ming thought that these things were all about to attack him, those people suddenly clapped their hands and said, âThis is the welcoming ceremony prepared by the boss. We know your worries, so we arranged all of
Jiang Ming was stunned. Then, he found that the sound of cannons was heard all around him. A line of words gathered in the air.
âWelcome to the Zhang family.â
Yuan Hehe immediately felt that this was too much. âHey,â he hurriedly said. âWhat are you doing? We havenât agreed to go over yet. Donât talk to us like that.â
Those people pretended not to hear him and walked over.
They had even found a palanquin.
âYouâre guests here,â they said as they walked. âThereâs no need to care about etiquette. We also think that Jiu Zhu would be very willing to come.â
Upon hearing this, the three of them were shocked.
Wasnât he trying to kidnap them by force?
They did not want to go at all, but these people were trying to force them to go.
They even wanted to take them away without caring about their personal wishes.
Sikong Wuyuan immediately drew his sword and stood in front of Jiang Ming. âLetâs see who wants to take Jiang Ming away by force today. Without our consent, none of you can leave.â
Jiang Ming did not say anything, but he had the same intentions as Sikong Wuyuan. He was staring at the people in front of him.
He could not understand when the Zhang family had set their eyes on him. From what he felt, no one in the Zhang family had fallen sick. Instead, someone had prepared a trap to force him to go.
This banquet might be the scholarâs scheme. The scholar had just left when the Zhang family came. How could it be such a coincidence?
Facing the obstruction, those people only smiled faintly and said, âWhy are you so afraid? The Zhang family doesnât eat people. Your reaction is a little too over the top. Moreover, we respect all of you. Why must you use the word âforceâ to sully our friendship?â
Jiang Ming frowned.
âWeâve never seen or heard of the Zhang family that youâre talking about. Who knows if youâre really from the Zhang family? You should at least let us see something to prove it.â
âNo problem.â
The person in front of him very readily took out a square token.
It was a wooden sign with the words âZhang Family Organizationâ written on it. It looked legitimate.
Jiang Ming took the sign directly and found that although the sign was made of wood, it was as heavy as iron. It did not seem fake,
Jiang Ming believed them a little. He threw the card back and said, âIt seems that you should be the people of the Zhang Family Organization. However, we donât want to go over, nor do we want to save the people of your organization.
We have to leave.â
Their expressions changed.
âJiu Zhu, canât you save a life? Why do you have to force our hand?â As they spoke, they hurriedly took out their magical tools and weapons.
They were some musical instruments.
Jiang Ming and the other two could not help but be stunned for a moment.
Then, they realized that the palanquin in front of them looked like a red palanquin for a wedding. With their current appearance, those who did not know better would think that they were here to pick up a bride.
The three of them could not help but wonder.
What was the use of these things? But why did they have to use a wedding palanquin to pick them up?
Could it be that these things could do something to them?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming narrowed his eyes.
These peopleâs movements were uniform. Suddenly, they were like puppets with broken strings, completely motionless.
Immediately after, they revealed a sinister smile and began to blow their musical instruments non-stop.
âJiu Zhu, are you sure you donât want to come up? This is your last chance. If you still donât want to agree, we wonât force you.â
Jiang Ming only felt that these people were probably planning something else, so he immediately replied, âYes.â
He wanted to see what they could do after he said so.
Unexpectedly, when the instruments sounded, Jiang Ming suddenly felt that his entire body was out of control. He stood up and walked over.
Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe both were the same.
The two of them had pained expressions on their faces, but they could not stop their movements.
Sikong Wuyuan said helplessly in his heart, âl thought they were going to attack us. I didnât expect it to be a control technique. This method is simply unheard of. It can actually control the three of us at the same time.. Is there any way to stop it?â
