Chapter 143: Animal Attack
Gui Three showed up on time.
When the little group of bald men were about to rush up and launch attacks at Si Wen Ming, Gui Three showed up with a group of caravan guards and encircled them.
Many other passengers and servants had seen what had happened, not long after, people clearly described the cause of this conflict to Gui Three. Gui Three looked while frowning at the little group of bald men, who obviously had started this, and sighed helplessly towards Si Wen Ming.
“Although they have started this, but, my honored guests, the three of you seem rich and generous; since you have hurt him, um...the medical charges...”
Ji Hao looked slouchily at Si Wen Ming. Medical charges again?
Si Wen Ming stood still, and calmly took a golden tablet out from his sleeve. The tablet seemed to be very heavy, had jade-like texture, was a foot long, an inch thick and palm-width wide, and was crafted in an ancient style. The left side of the tablet was embossed with a trajectory chart of the stars, the right side was the natural scenes of the four seasons, and the back was embossed with scenes of ordinary people’s life, such as fishing, farming and grazing; the front side was embossed with pictures, which depicted ten-thousand clans gathering together and worshipping the King of the humankind.
Apparently this tablet was crafted by an extremely skilled craftsmen, who could emboss the trajectory chart of the stars, the natural scenes of the four seasons, people’ life and the worship ceremony, all on this small tablet. Especially the pictures depicting ten-thousand clans gathered together to worship the King of the humankind, on the front of the tablet; the silhouettes of ten-thousand people were embossed on such a small tablet, which showed that the craftsmanship that had been used to make this tablet was extremely complicated and superb.
Gui Three instantly bowed from his waist when he saw this tablet. He solemnly cupped his hands towards Si Wen Ming, bowed and saluted him, then respectfully said, “Please forgive our impoliteness, we had no idea that you are a minister, working for the King of the humankind. These people have boldly offended you, please tell us how they should be dealt with.”
Along with a series of clangs, all of the surrounding caravan guards simultaneously pulled out their weapons, staring angrily at the little group of bald men, who were shocked and seemed clueless as how to react.
Ji Hao also stared stunned at the tablet in Si Wen Ming’s hand.
Was this Si Wen Ming’s identity tablet? How come such a small tablet could make Gui Three instantly change his attitude? It seemed that Gui Three and the Spirit Turtle Caravan he worked for, were all reasonable and had their own principles, but once Si Wen Ming had taken out this tablet, Gui Three and all of the guards immediately chose Si Wen Ming’s side. Ji Hao couldn’t even imagine what kind of important and influential person Si Wen Ming actually was.
“I never bully,” said Si Wen Ming blandly, “but no one can bully my friends either. That slap you received earlier, take it as a lesson. If this animal of yours dares to take another glance at us, hmm, then you will see.”
The group of bald men looked down, and seemed frightened, without even daring to say anything. The man who had been slapped by Si Wen Ming earlier and had been sent flying away, struggled up from the ground with difficulty, grabbed the tiny three-eyed black monkey, tremblingly walked up to Si Wen Ming, and apologized to Si Wen Ming over and over again with a simper on his face.
“My dear lord, it’s all my fault, I didn’t teach this thing well and let it offend you, please forgive us, we are willing to take any kind of punishment. It’s just that our young master is badly ill, and is expecting a kind of spirit medicine that can only be found in the Southern Wasteland to save his life. We already have the medicine now with us, so we have to get back to the Midland as soon as possible. Please, my dear lord, whatever you do, don’t let the caravan drop us.”
Si Wen Ming’s facial expression changed slightly, he narrowed his eyes, while staring at the few men from head to toe. Then he slowly shook his head and said, “Alright, I will not bully you. But you should really keep an eye on your spirit pet, and watch your language. You are lucky to have only offended me, if you accidentally pissed someone other off...hm, never mind, why should I worry about you...”
Si Wen Ming then shook his head again and carelessly turned around, and went back to sitting down at the table, grabbed his vat and drained the remaining booze from within it.
Gui Three lowered his voice and harshly threatened the five bald men, while quickly raising his hand and moved it across his own neck, seemingly telling those men that if they ever dared to provoke Si Wen Ming again, they might get themselves killed. After Gui Three drove the five men away, he hurriedly came to Si Wen Ming, his face filled with a smile, and bowed slightly to Si Wen Ming then gently began talking.
