As An Immortal, I Only Learn Forbidden Skills Chapter 940 Protesting

940 Protesting
Liang Sisi understood what King Liang meant and started arguing with her father.
“Father, Ning Caichen has helped me a lot. Moreover, he is now the new king of the Xiaguo Kingdom. He will definitely repay us. You won’t lose out if you help him.”
“He became the new king of the Xiaguo Kingdom?”
King Liang could not help but be shocked. He then began to ponder.
Since Ning Caichen had become the new king of the Xiaguo Kingdom, it meant that he could borrow the resources here at will.
One had to know that there were many gold mines in this kingdom. When the time came, he would be rich.
“The new king has just taken office. All the neighboring monarchs have to celebrate. I think I’ll have a party with Ning Caichen. Otherwise, we’ll look cheap.”
“Thank you, Father. But Father, you can’t call him Ning Caichen anymore. He’s the king now.”
The matter of the seeds had been perfectly resolved, so Liang Sisi quickly smiled.
At the same time, she could not help but look forward to the future.
Usually, there would be a marriage alliance between royal families. Perhaps she would marry Ning Caichen.
If she really married Ning Caichen, how blissful would she be?
As she thought about it, she quickly sent the news to Jiang Ming, who was far away in the Xiaguo Kingdom.
Jiang Ming roughly understood King Liang’s intentions and immediately decided to host the banquet.
This was not the first time he had attended a banquet proposed by King Liang. He did not know what King Liang wanted to do this time.
The banquet was held in the Xiaguo Kingdom. King Liang sent some people to help Jiang Ming rebuild the palace.
Jiang Ming also brought the others over.
Feng Yunche looked around and could not help but be surprised.
“This is really a fortuitous encounter. It didn’t take long for you to become a king.”
“I’m still the same person. You guys can stay here in peace.”
Princess Qingmiao thought for a moment and then said, “The Qingmiao Kingdom sends their congratulations. Do you want King Qingmiao to come here too?”
“It’s better not to make him come over. The royal palace is still being rebuilt, so there won’t be that many people. I’m just borrowing some seeds. There’s no need to make it a big event.”
Jiang Ming shook his head and rejected Princess Qingmiao.
The princess was extremely disappointed, but she could not help but exclaim in her heart.
She had really looked down on Ning Caichen. He had actually gone from a servant to a king step by step.
If they could take down Ning Caichen, how glorious would that be?
However, at this moment, the poor people suddenly gathered and shouted in front of the palace, “Return our seeds! Return our kingdom!”
When Jiang Ming heard this, he could not help but feel a little confused. He then turned to look at the boss, who was diligently rebuilding the palace.
“What’s going on?” the boss asked with a strange expression. “I’ll go take a look first.”
His subordinates followed him.
After they finished taking a look, the boss’s face became flustered. He said to Jiang Ming, “Your Majesty, they seem to have been bewitched. They think that you attracted the locusts here, so they want to chase you away.”
Jiang Ming was speechless.
He had clearly saved these people and even fed them, but these people had started to frame him instead.
If that was the case, he should not have saved these people.
Zhu Asi frowned.
“What should we do now? I think it’s best to stop them. It’s useless to reason with these people. They won’t understand.”
“No, we have to find the source. We don’t know who the person who bewitched them is.”
Jiang Ming thought for a moment and conjured another version of himself in his hand. He told Zhu Asi, “Follow this clone to reason with them. I’ll go to the back and see who’s bewitching them. I think the perpetrator should be behind them.”
“Alright, I’ll go take a look first.”
Zhu Asi quickly brought the clone forward.
When they arrived outside the door, the number of people had increased.
They had no idea where they had made the sign, but it said, “Boycott Ning Caichen and return our kingdom.”
Zhu Asi still could not understand.
Why was the slogan completely different from what was written on the sign?
As they had all eaten a full meal, they were now full of energy.
Jiang Ming wore a black shirt to cover himself and kept looking behind him.
The fake Jiang Ming and Zhu Asi were surrounded by the people.
The people seemed to have forgotten about the good things Jiang Ming had done for them just now. They kept raising their signs and shouting at him and Zhu Asi.
“Give us your lives. It’s all because of you that these locusts are here.”
“If it weren’t for you, the Xiaguo Kingdom would still be safe and sound. You must pay for your actions!”
Jiang Ming’s eyes were cold.
This group of people really took themselves seriously.
If he was not forced to be their savior, he would not have bothered with them.
At this moment, he noticed someone.
That person was very thin and weak, but his eyes were gold. He kept saying something to the others. His words seemed to be guiding the people.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Ming disguised himself and turned into a beggar. At the same time, he went over to listen to the person carefully.
That person was indeed muttering something and telling the people what to say.
“Please continue. I want to see if Ning Caichen will give us something extra. Just say that Ning Caichen made us unable to afford food and water, so he should compensate us.”
As he spoke, the poor people also began to follow his words and began to speak.
Jiang Ming’s face turned cold. He secretly took out a dagger and stabbed the man to death.
He died immediately. He fell down and blood flowed like a river.
The rest of the poor people also saw this person’s miserable state and could not help but feel afraid. Their eyes were filled with timidity.
Now that they were left with no leader, they did not know what to say.
Zhu Asi could tell the problem with that person at a glance. Combined with Jiang Ming’s words, he immediately knew that this person had been killed by Ning Caichen. He instantly heaved a sigh of relief.
Jiang Ming used an illusion to dispel the signs and turned back to his original appearance. Then, he said to the crowd, “I am Ning Caichen. Do you have anything else to say now? Logically speaking, shouldn’t you be grateful to me now? I’m almost done getting you the seeds, and you’re about to have a new harvest. Do you still want to be my enemy? If you become my enemy, not only will you not be able to get these seeds, but you will also not be able to eat and wear warm clothes. Do you think you can defeat my soldiers?”
