CHAPTER 1839: CHAPTER 1840: DON’T KILL THEM, JUST CRIPPLE THEM

"If you abandon me again, I’ll find you even if you reach the ends of the earth!" Ren Hongchang suddenly bit down hard on your shoulder, so deep and intense that you couldn’t help but let out a moan of pain. To avoid damaging Ren Hongchang’s teeth, you didn’t brace your shoulder, and as a result, when she released you, two rows of teeth marks were left on your shoulder.

"Previously, when you left, you left marks within me, making me yours; but now, I want to leave marks on you, showing that you’re my man. I don’t care how many women you have, as long as I can be by your side."

"Alright, alright." Besides feeling moved, you’re overwhelmed with emotion as you gently stroke Ren Hongchang’s long black hair, comforting her.

Slowly, Ren Hongchang’s breathing became a bit rapid. She exhaled softly, her eyes once resolute now emitting a seductive charm that would captivate any man.

At this moment, if you didn’t act, you wouldn’t be a man. You started to lean down slowly, ready to meet Ren Hongchang’s slightly parted, seductive red lips, when Little Liu’s abrupt voice called out from outside: "Boss, someone’s looking for you!"

"Damn!" You quickly kissed Ren Hongchang’s forehead hard, then kicked open your study door, which slammed heavily onto Little Liu standing outside.

"Little Liu, what a good thing you’ve done!" Your roar echoed from outside.

"Boss, I’m sorry!"

Your roaring continued: "You brat know you messed up, tell me what you did wrong!?"

"I, I, I deserve to die! I shouldn’t look so awkward!"

"Get lost, you think this is a joke!?" You kicked Little Liu again and cursed, "Which bastard wants to see me!"

"Someone from Chang’an, he said he’s a servant of your old acquaintance and has brought an important message for you."

"What are you waiting for, hurry and take me there!" You kicked Little Liu again. "Don’t be sluggish! Your legs seem weak, tell me! Were you chasing women at the brothel last night!?"

"Boss, I wouldn’t dare..."

As Little Liu and your voices gradually faded away, Ren Hongchang, sitting in your place, revealed a blissful smile on her stunning face.

"Bang!"

After reading the letter delivered by the messenger, you slammed the tea table beside you, shattering it, and stood up abruptly, yelling to Little Liu: "Little Liu, prepare immediately, we’re going to Chang’an!"

It was the first time Little Liu saw such a rushed expression on your face.

Not daring to delay, Little Liu quickly ran out, hastily organizing your two hundred trusted aides.

Once the trusted aides were ready, waiting on the open ground outside Wuji County, you rode in on horseback, surprising Little Liu and others as Ren Hongchang was in your arms, sharing the same horse as you. Although Ren Hongchang hasn’t formally married you, it’s clear to everyone that it’s only a matter of time, just not opportune right now.

Though previously Ren Hongchang was the leader of Little Liu and others, and they were all slaves, now Ren Hongchang has risen to higher status, like a Phoenix perched high, and her old subordinates dare not look at her directly anymore.

Even becoming your woman, Ren Hongchang remained as fierce as ever, pointing at Little Liu and shouting: "Liuzi, give up your horse! And where are you looking, mother is right here!"

Ren Hongchang’s fierceness was well-known, and everyone understood her temperament, so Little Liu quickly dismounted, shrugging his shoulders helplessly.

However, your words made Little Liu jump back on the horse: "Didn’t I tell you before we set out? You won’t leave my side this journey, we share one ride. Little Liu, return to the horse at once, we’re setting out!"

Your wave signaled the trusted aides who responded with a loud shout: "Yes!"

Ren Hongchang studied these trusted aides who felt both familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar, noticing that in just over a month apart, they seemed to have improved their skills notably, showing vigor with loud voices, hinting at a dangerous aura.

As the sturdy horse raced down the spacious road, the slightly chilly air hit Ren Hongchang’s face, making her feel cold. Thankfully, she nestled in your arms, curling up slightly. You saw her and laughed: "Didn’t I advise you to wear more clothes before we left, but you ignored me, feeling cold now?"

"If I wear too much, what if we encounter enemies, how will I fight back?" Ren Hongchang loved staying in your arms, it’s warm and comforting. Of all your women, only she received this privilege.

"Enemies, are you referring to those ahead?"

Just then, everyone rounded a bend, encountering a large group of people ahead, already set in formation. They appeared mismatched and numbered around three to four hundred, all with sallow faces, clearly ordinary villagers driven to banditry out of desperation.

Seeing these people, Ren Hongchang frowned slightly, even she saw no threat in these people, let alone you and your aides.

"Little Liu!"

"Here!"

"Go negotiate, don’t fight, they’re all poor people."

"Yes!"

Little Liu rode forward slowly and confidently, shouting loudly at the front: "What do you intend by blocking our way?"

"Robbery!" a young man, lacking vigor, puffed his chest, stepped out from the crowd, "We won’t harm you; we only need a bit of toll from you."

"Oh, interesting, with you rotten tomatoes and eggs, you dare block our way?"

Having been with you for a long time, Little Liu learned quite a few novel phrases from you.

"Humph, if we don’t show some colors, you might think we’re sick cats!"

The young man raised his right hand, suddenly archers sprang from both sides of the bushes, their bows strung, arrows glistening aimed at you. Simultaneously, your retreat was blocked too, about three hundred long spear men quickly formed ranks.

"Ha, hahaha!"

You suddenly laughed loudly, addressing the stepping-out youth, "You’re quite skilled, I like it. Little Liu, later take special care of him, hit him softly!"

"Boss, don’t worry, I always strike lightly." Little Liu mimicked your crafty smile.
