Chapter 1003: Chapter 1003: Missing Me to Death

At last, they were to depart. With reddened eyes, you bid farewell to everyone and prepared to leave with the caravan. On this trip to Minzhou for your new appointment, you only brought Zhen Nan, Zi Yi, Little Yue, and Cui’er, not even taking a single house servant with you. Although the Meng Family wanted you to bring a group of house servants, you refused, feeling that these people would be enough.

It wasn’t until your convoy disappeared from everyone’s sight that the Meng Family, along with a troop of house servants and maids, entered Luo Mansion. Meanwhile, Luo Xin appeared on the rooftop of the grand hall of Luo Mansion where Luo Cheng had already been standing.

"Father, Second Brother has left," announced Luo Xin, standing beside Luo Cheng and watching the distant caravan.

"Mm," responded Luo Cheng, his expression still very indifferent, yet his indifference seemed to contain a touch of tenderness.

"Do you still blame him?" Luo Xin looked at Luo Cheng.

"Didn’t you say it yourself? He’s your younger brother." As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Cheng disappeared. Luo Xin said no more, but a slight smile formed at the corners of his mouth, spreading faintly across his face.

Your caravan had just left Chang’an City when it was suddenly stopped by a group of people, who despite appearing calm and simply dressed, emanated an unsettling aura.

"What’s going on?" you asked, stepping down from your carriage. At that moment, you realized that the obstacle was none other than your own Death Squad, led by Shi Kai and Black Teeth Changzhi!

"Boss, I’ve missed you so much!" Black Teeth Changzhi exclaimed upon seeing you, ready to pounce but Shi Kai kicked him aside. Then, leading the Death Squad, they all knelt on one knee before you and simultaneously declared, "Boss, the Death Squad is here to report for duty!"

Overjoyed, you nodded and commanded, "Good! Stand up!"

"Yes!"

Their precise movements and orderly steps captured the attention of the onlookers, fascinated by the Death Squad renowned for easily slicing through armies.

The Death Squad, almost as famous as you, also had their own glorious tales among the common folk. After you retired, many nobles, including Changsun Wuji, had wanted to recruit them. However, Li Jing acted first by hiding Shi Kai and others early on, also relieving them of their military ranks and incorporating them into your private troops.

This was, perhaps, the greatest gift Luo Cheng had given you.

"Shi Kai, you rogue, you scoundrel, why did you kick me!?" Black Teeth Changzhi complained, clambering up from the ground. Shi Kai’s kick looked fierce but actually landed on Black Teeth Changzhi’s robust buttocks, where the flesh was thick.

"You disgraced us," Shi Kai coolly replied, staring sideways at Black Teeth Changzhi.

"Darn! I haven’t even complained about you being a weakling!"

Black Teeth Changzhi’s frame was much larger than Shi Kai’s, standing about two meters and twelve centimeters tall and broadly built.

Of course, one should never judge Black Teeth Changzhi by his appearance. At first glance, such people seemed honest and straightforward, but Black Teeth Changzhi was the complete opposite; he was the most slick-tongued, trouble-making rascal in the Death Squad. However, it was precisely his personality that brought some life to the Death Squad, because, apart from him, the other eighty-nine members were as aloof as Shi Kai.

"Boss, you’ve got to stand up for me. Ever since you left us, this guy has been bullying me non-stop. Look, I’ve become all skin and bones," he protested.

"Quit your whining! Have everyone brought their horses?" you chastised him with a laugh, then commanded.

"Yes!" everyone responded in unison.

"Follow! We all go to Minzhou!"

"Yes!"

Traveling a long distance was undeniably boring, so boring that Black Teeth Changzhi shouted every day for mountain bandits and robbers to hurry up and appear. However, it seemed word had leaked out, and the mountain bandits and robbers knew that the Death Squad was in this caravan, because for five straight days they didn’t encounter a single person to block the road or rob them.

At noon, the caravan organized on a flat area next to the official road, alongside other caravans, and some people began to start fires to cook their meals.

"Boss, tell us a joke," someone suggested.

At that time, out of sheer boredom, Black Teeth Changzhi pestered you to tell everyone a joke. They knew that although you were very strict during training, on normal days you were just as playful and mischievous as Black Teeth Changzhi.

You thought about it and said, "Alright."

You were leaning against the trunk of a large tree, and because you were up in the tree, everyone around could hear you.

As soon as you said that, many people turned their eyes towards you.

Of course, except for a carriage not far away, which seemed to be carrying some high-ranking official. The exterior of the carriage showed no particular features, but Black Teeth Changzhi had told you that it hid at least a dozen mechanisms and that its carriage was made of an exceptionally hard wood that could withstand attacks from strong crossbows.

During everyone’s meal break, your ancient and unparalleled "joke" began:

"Look, here we go. Once upon a time, there was a little lamb that went out to play one day and met a big bad wolf. The big bad wolf said, ’I’m going to eat you!’ Guess what happened in the end?"

"Um? What happened?" Black Teeth Changzhi asked, as he usually did.

"The big bad wolf ate the little lamb, of course!" you said with a smirk, giving Black Teeth Changzhi a contemptuous look.

"Uh..." Black Teeth Changzhi knew he had been played by you.

"Hehe, let’s continue. There was a deer that kept walking faster and faster until finally, it turned into a highway (deer), ahahaha..."

Silence. Nobody laughed. Your joke was just too cold, and nobody understood it except for Wu Qiyi and her two companions.

"Ho ho, everyone’s standards seem quite high, huh? Let’s try another one! There were two bananas walking down the street one behind the other. The banana in the front suddenly said, ’It’s so hot! I’m going to take off my jacket!’ Then, the banana behind fell over."

"Hehe..." Everyone laughed symbolically but still felt a chill inside.

"Look, here’s a riddle now. Everyone, guess what, a rabbit and a very fast tortoise were racing, who won in the end?"

"Second Young Master, it should be the rabbit, shouldn’t it?" Little Yue said with a smile, looking up while she was preparing food for you.

"Wrong! Of course, it was the tortoise!"

"Why?" Little Yue tilted her adorable little head, puzzled.

"Didn’t I just mention that it was a very fast tortoise? It’s fast, so of course, the rabbit couldn’t beat it," you said smugly, seemingly unaffected by the strange looks from everyone. Boy, your skin is really thick.

Black Teeth Changzhi sneezed. Shivering!

"The rabbit wasn’t convinced, so it raced against a tortoise wearing clothes. Who do you think won this time?"

"This time, it must be the rabbit, right?" Zi Yi chimed in.

"Wrong again! It’s still the tortoise!"
