Chapter 1395 - 1394: The Tragic Coachman
"Eh, Senior Brother Wu’s martial arts are so strong, he should be fine, right? Besides, if they can’t win, they can just run. I believe Senior Brother Wu and Yu Xin aren’t stupid, hehe."
Wu Mengting indeed believed in Wu Guangzu’s abilities.
"But..."
Chen Tianlong felt something was off. If Wu Guangzu was fine, he should have come back to look for him, plus Gu Yuxin knew they might be in Hua Mansion.
Just as he was thinking, a carriage suddenly rushed over from ahead.
"Huh..."
"What are you two doing, can’t you see such a big carriage?" The carriage driver shouted at Chen Tianlong.
Chen Tianlong focused, damn, what age is this? Still using carriages, are they out of their minds?
However, being berated as soon as he arrived made Chen Tianlong very unhappy. Usually, he’s the one tricking people, but now being scolded for no reason, he sneered and walked over.
"Hey, bearded guy, what did you say?"
Chen Tianlong shouted at the driver with a full beard.
Though he didn’t know who they were, seeing them use a carriage instead of cars, if it weren’t for the modern skyscrapers earlier, Chen Tianlong might have thought he had traveled through time.
"Brat, who are you calling bearded guy? Looking for a beating?" The driver arrogantly shouted, because the Capital City ahead was his master’s territory.
"Oh, is there another bearded guy around here?" Chen Tianlong deliberately retorted.
This time, the bearded driver was furious. Though a driver, he was the driver for Kuang Chenggong, the City Lord, and except for the City Lord, young master, and madam, no one dared to provoke him, yet now a punk was mocking him.
"Who’s out there? Making such a fuss."
At this moment, a woman in her thirties, extravagantly dressed, poked her head out. It was Tian Xiaozhui, Kuang Chenggong’s concubine.
"Eh, hehe, just some brat, almost crashed into our carriage on the road. I was scolding him." The driver hurriedly explained.
"Well, since that’s the case, let him get lost quickly. I need to get back to catch up on sleep. Staying up late ages you." The woman said domineeringly.
Their every word reached Chen Tianlong’s ears. He sneered, thinking, "Since you’re so ruthless, don’t blame me for being merciless."
"Get lost, or we’ll run you over." The driver shouted harshly.
Chen Tianlong pulled a needle from his pocket, and as he passed by the horse, he quickly pricked it, then left with Wu Mengting.
Not far away, they heard a scream from behind, "Ah!"
Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting hurriedly turned back to see the carriage overturned in the roadside ditch, and the horse lying deadlike, twitching ceaselessly.
Chen Tianlong covered his mouth and laughed, then continued forward with Wu Mengting.
"Chen Tianlong, was it you who did something to the horse just now?"
Wu Mengting asked with some doubt.
"Haha, you noticed, so smart." Chen Tianlong said with a shallow smile.
"How could I not notice, you were still laughing when it happened. You know that could have caused deaths, right?" Wu Mengting said with a bit of reproach.
"Well, people like them are arrogant. If you don’t show them a lesson, they’ll harm more people in the future. Consider it a lesson for them."
Actually, Chen Tianlong isn’t the cold-hearted type, but after experiencing so much, he feels that being too kind leads to being bullied, so he’s gradually becoming more proactive, wanting to become stronger!
Wu Mengting nodded, agreeing with his view. During these days, Chen Tianlong’s presence gave her a sense of safety and reliance.
No matter what happens, she will firmly stand by Chen Tianlong’s side.
In the roadside ditch, Tian Xiaozhui, exerting all her strength, finally climbed out, battered, covered in dust, and twisted her ankle.
The driver was worse off, falling face down, his lips swollen and a corner of his eye broken, climbing out dazed.
"Damn it, it must be that stinking brat just now." The driver cursed as soon as he climbed up.
But when he opened his eyes, he saw they were already far away, and beside him, Tian Xiaozhui was fuming, ready to explode.
"It’s all because of you, causing such nonsense. Now we have to walk back. I don’t care, you have to carry me." Tian Xiaozhui glared at the driver.
The driver could only smile bitterly, "Alright, I’ll carry, I’ll carry."
He begrudgingly let Tian Xiaozhui climb up, and as he exerted himself to stand, suddenly fell with a "thud."
"Ah! My butt."
Tian Xiaozhui fell onto the roadside dirt, her butt in pain, furiously scolding the driver, "You useless fool, can’t even carry me, what’s the use of you?"
She stormed off alone, the driver rushed after her, pleading miserably.
So, on the road leading to the Capital City, there was such a scene: an old man kowtowing every three steps, walking while pulling along a disheveled woman.
As Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting walked for a while and felt tired, they rested for a bit. Chen Tianlong called for the eagle, and in two hours they reached near Good Sword Manor.
With the Spirit Beast Eagle, traveling a thousand miles a day was no problem, so it took just over two hours from the Capital City to Good Sword Manor.
The two exchanged glances and smiled, everything understood without words.
Soon, they arrived at Good Sword Manor. The old Manor Master was planting flowers, and Wu Mengting sneaked over, covering his eyes to scare him. Unexpectedly, Manor Master Leng grabbed and pinned her to the ground with a grapple.
"Ouch, Dad, it’s me, you’re hurting me."
Wu Mengting almost cried out in pain.
"Ah? It’s my precious daughter, oh dear, it’s my fault. Let Dad check if you’re hurt?" At this moment, Wu Jian asked concernedly.
"Haha, it’s nothing, just teasing you. Let’s see if you’ll dare next time."
"I won’t dare, I swear."
With that, Wu Jian raised his hand, and Wu Mengting quickly lowered it.
"Got it."
She said with a bit of coquetry.
Suddenly, Wu Jian’s gaze fell on Chen Tianlong, and he brightened up.
"Oh my, isn’t this my son-in-law? Let me have a good look, have you lost weight, has my precious daughter bullied you?"
He meticulously looked him over.
"Dad, what are you saying, making me sound like a sadist. I’m very gentle, okay?" Wu Mengting said with reproach.
