Chapter 50: Defeat in One Move
Although she was very tempted, after some hesitation, Xi Shi refused directly. She, Xi Shi, would never give in for a few pieces of silver.
"One thousand taels each time..."
"One thousand taels?" After hearing Jiang Mingche's words, Xi Shi became a little uneasy and her breathing became a little rapid.
This is a full 1,000 taels of silver. Even if she worked part-time to earn money, and went down the mountain to earn money whenever she had time, she would not be able to earn so much money in three to five years.
"Prince, are you kidding?" After calming down her excitement, Xi Shi asked tentatively. She was afraid that Jiang Mingche was making fun of her again.
"Do you think I'm joking?" Jiang Mingche said lightly after looking at Xi Shi.
"Hehe...I'll be right there..." Xi Shi chuckled twice and walked directly behind Jiang Mingche.
She stretched out her slender, fair hands and began to massage Jiang Mingche's shoulders.
Xi Shi originally wanted to refuse, but there was nothing she could do because Jiang Mingche gave her too much.
"Prince, how is the strength?" Xi Shi asked obediently while kneading Jiang Mingche.
"Push harder on the right side..." Jiang Mingche closed his eyes and said with some enjoyment.
It should be Xishi's first time to give someone a shoulder massage, so her technique was a little unfamiliar.
"Yes, that's it..." While enjoying the massage from Xi Shi's delicate hands, Jiang Mingche could smell a faint floral scent in the air, which was Xi Shi's body odor.
This made Jiang Mingche feel a little weird...it seemed that these female heroes of the King's Continent all had the scent of various flowers on their bodies.
This was true for several of his wives in Chang'an City, including Xi Shi, and even the little Cai Wenji had a pleasant fragrance.
While Jiang Mingche was enjoying a massage from a young girl, an uninvited guest came.
"Who is Jiang Mingche?" As a rough female voice sounded, Zhong Wuyan walked in from outside the door holding her sledgehammer.
Zhong Wuyan looked around the yard and finally saw someone who surprised her a little.
"Xi Shi, why are you here...what are you doing..." Looking at Xi Shi who was rubbing Jiang Mingche's shoulders, Zhong Wuyan was stunned for a moment and asked with a strange look on her face.
Xi Shi is Zhong Wuyan's good friend and her only good friend in Jixia Academy.
Because Zhong Wuyan would often use money to beat people up, she made countless enemies in Jixia Academy. Everyone stayed away from her, and only Xi Shi was willing to be friends with her.
"Zhong Wuyan, why are you here?" Xi Shi blushed as she withdrew her hands that were massaging Jiang Mingche, and said to Zhong Wuyan with some embarrassment.
Xi Shi felt ashamed. It was so embarrassing. She didn't expect that she would be caught by Zhong Wuyan while giving Jiang Mingche a massage.
"I was paid to help someone solve their problem... You are Jiang Mingche, right?"
"Someone paid me 1,000 taels of silver to teach you a lesson. My hammer is very big, so bear with it..."
Zhong Wuyan turned to look at Jiang Mingche who was lying on the rocking chair and said a little embarrassedly.
Although she didn't want to beat someone up for no reason, she was taking money from him and helping him get rid of his misfortune. Since she accepted the money from that sly guy, she naturally had to do what he asked.
"Your hammer is very big, can I bear it for a while?" Jiang Mingche looked at Zhong Wuyan with a strange expression.
What the hell, what kind of vicious words are these?
"Don't. He is the regent of the Tang Dynasty. You can't hit him." Seeing Zhong Wuyan's eager look, Xi Shi was frightened and quickly stood up and stood in front of Jiang Mingche.
It would be fine if Zhong Wuyan bullied the students at Jixia University, but the teacher always turned a blind eye.
If she really fought with Jiang Mingche, she might be expelled from Jixia Academy.
Others may not know, but Xi Shi knows that the three sages have great respect for Jiang Mingche, otherwise they would not have allowed Jiang Mingche to go to the third floor of the library to choose a martial arts technique as soon as he arrived.
Not everyone can go to the third floor of the library. Only the first place winner of the annual election of Jixia Academy can go there.
Moreover, after witnessing Jiang Mingche chop Cao Pi to death with one sword, Xi Shi didn't think Zhong Wuyan was Jiang Mingche's opponent.
If Zhong Wuyan insisted on selling it, she would be asking for trouble. Not only would she be expelled from the academy, but she would also be beaten up for nothing...
"Did Cao Pi ask you to come?" Jiang Mingche asked after he got up from the rocking chair and looked at Zhong Wuyan.
He has no enemies in Jixia. Since Zhong Wuyan came to him, it must be that Cao Pi bribed her.
"The employer's identity cannot be disclosed. This is my professional ethics as a bounty hunter."
Zhong Wuyan shook her head and said that at this moment she had not yet realized the seriousness of the matter and did not know what kind of existence she had provoked...
"Since you want to fight with me, then I'll play with you." Jiang Mingche stretched and said lazily.
"Don't. Don't do it. Your Majesty, Zhong Wuyan doesn't know your identity and has offended you. Can you please let her go this time?"
Seeing Jiang Mingche stand up, Xi Shi hurriedly came to him and said to him in a pleading tone.
Although Zhong Wuyan's strength is also very impressive, she is nothing compared to Jiang Mingche.
If the two of them really started fighting, Zhong Wuyan would probably be beaten so badly that even her own mother wouldn't be able to recognize her...
"They have come to my door. If I don't accept the challenge, wouldn't it be embarrassing? People who don't know me would think I, Jiang Mingche, am a coward."
Jiang Mingche shook his head and looked directly at Zhong Wuyan. "Make your move."
"My Lord, if you let Zhong Wuyan go, I will come and give you a massage every day, how about that?"
Looking at Jiang Mingche who was eager to try, Xi Shi became completely anxious. She didn't want her good friend to be beaten into a pig's head in front of her.
The reason she said this was because Xi Shi found that Jiang Mingche seemed to enjoy her massage.
When I was giving Jiang Mingche a massage just now, he looked like he was enjoying it very much.
And this is the only bargaining chip that Xishi can bring out...
"Come and give me a massage every day? If massage doesn't work, how about giving me a health spa?"
"As long as you help me do a hundred health spas, I will let Zhong Wuyan go."
Jiang Mingche held his chin and thought for a moment, then said in a somewhat evil tone.
He really had no intention of doing anything to Zhong Wuyan at first. He just wanted to teach her a little lesson. After all, this woman was Xi Shi's good friend.
But since Xi Shi came to him, he couldn't just push her away, right?
"What is a health spa?" Xishi asked in confusion. It was the first time she heard of this concept.
“It’s similar to massage, but a little more complicated…”
"Okay." After hesitating for a moment, Xi Shi agreed directly.
Just one hundred massages, nothing. Although she was a little reluctant, compared with the fate of her good friend, these one hundred massages seemed nothing. If she didn't agree, Zhong Wuyan would be beaten up and then expelled from Jixia Academy.
Poor Xishi doesn't know that she has fallen into the trap of the big bad wolf Jiang Mingche...The massage Jiang Mingche is talking about is not just a massage.
"It's settled then, don't regret it." Looking at the innocent-looking Xishi, Jiang Mingche smiled wickedly with a malicious look.
"I...I will never regret it..." Although Jiang Mingche's smile made Xi Shi feel a little unsure, she still said it with gritted teeth.
At this juncture, she couldn't regret it even if she wanted to...
"For Xishi's sake, I can show mercy. I also know the rules of you bounty hunters. Come on."
Giving Xi Shi a reassuring look, Jiang Mingche walked directly to a position two meters in front of Zhong Wuyan.
"Excuse me." Zhong Wuyan said, and swung her sledgehammer weighing several hundred pounds and smashed it directly towards Jiang Mingche.
Jiang Mingche stood still without dodging. With a thought, the nameless sword appeared directly in his hand.
Looking at the oncoming sledgehammer, Jiang Mingche casually drew his sword. The nameless sword directly blocked Zhong Wuyan's attack, making a series of buzzing sounds.
Under the huge recoil force, Zhong Wuyan directly loosened her hands, and her sledgehammer fell directly to the ground.
Zhong Wuyan shook her arms which were numb from the shock, and her brain went into a state of complete mental inactivity.
She was defeated in one move. She never dreamed that she would lose so directly...
When Zhong Wuyan raised her head again, Jiang Mingche's sword was already pointing at her throat.
“You lose….”
