Transmigrating to the Song Dynasty: Water Margin Business Management

When Zhao Tianming saw Cai Jing, his face turned deathly pale.

He knew Cai Jing wanted revenge, so he had already fled. However, he didn't expect Cai Jing to be so ruthless in his pursuit.

Cai Jing, are you crazy?

Zhao Tianming said angrily.

Zhao Tianming, today I'll make sure you die without a burial place, and let you taste the power of my fists.

As he spoke, Cai Jing swung his fist and charged at Zhao Tianming.

Seeing this, Zhao Tianming quickly dodged.

However, Cai Jing was extremely fast; he held a brush and was about to scribble on Zhao Tianming's face.

At this moment, Zhao Tianming suddenly had a good idea, so he immediately changed his tactics. He suddenly turned to the side, avoiding Cai Jing's fist, and at the same time grabbed Cai Jing's right ankle.

"Ah!" Cai Jing screamed in agony.

Having succeeded in his move, Zhao Tianming quickly released his grip.

Cai Jing, you never expected this, did you? You've never suffered such a loss in your life.

As he spoke, Zhao Tianming took out a silver note from his sleeve and threw it at Cai Jing, saying, "Cai Jing, I can give you some compensation for your visit this time. I hope you will not bother me again in the future."

After saying that, Zhao Tianming slipped out of the room through the door.

Cai Jing picked up the silver note, glanced at it, and saw that it was worth 30,000 taels of silver. His eyes immediately lit up with greed, and he wished he could swallow the silver note whole.

In his mind, he imagined Zhao Tianming kneeling and begging for mercy, and only then did his resentment dissipate somewhat.

Hmph, you little brat, just you wait and see.

After saying this, Cai Jing put the silver note into his pocket.

...

Zhao Tianming arrived in the south of the city and found a mansion, which was where he would go into seclusion to cultivate.

Zhao Tianming entered the courtyard, locked the gate, and set up a protective barrier.

Then, he began to meditate cross-legged.

Silent all night.

The next day, Zhao Tianming opened his eyes.

His skin glowed with a faint reddish light, and he looked radiant and full of vitality.

All of this is thanks to that cup of tea yesterday.

That cup of tea was brewed by Zhao Tianming using spiritual spring water.

After Zhao Tianming finished the cup of spiritual tea, he immediately felt refreshed and relaxed all over.

Not only that, he felt that his strength had increased significantly.

Sure enough, the spirit tea was a miracle cure. This time, he had really made a fortune. Zhao Tianming was overjoyed, thinking to himself.

"Hahaha! Zhao Tianming, it seems your lifespan will increase considerably this year!" Zhao Tianming laughed loudly.

Zhao Tianming was in a good mood and couldn't help but hum a song.

I'm rich! I'm rich!

......

On the banks of the Bian River, Cai Jing sat on the deck of a boat, gazing into the distance, and muttered to himself.

Zhao Tianming, let's see where you can run now?

Cai Jing thought to himself.

Zhao Tianming, you think you can escape my grasp? Hmph, I'll catch you sooner or later, skin you alive, tear your tendons out, and grind your bones to dust.

Thinking of this, Cai Jing felt a surge of excitement, as if he could already see Zhao Tianming kneeling before him, wailing in agony under his whip.

Cai Jing became more and more excited as he thought about it, and a sinister smile appeared on his lips.

"Master, Master, Zhao Tianming is here." Suddenly, a servant rushed over and bowed as he spoke.

"Oh?" Cai Jing frowned slightly upon hearing this, a hint of doubt in his mind.

Why did Zhao Tianming suddenly come over? Did he already know that he had sent people to cause trouble for him? That shouldn't be the case. If he knew, he would definitely have made preparations.

Thinking of this, Cai Jing felt uneasy, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go see Zhao Tianming.

Greetings, sir.

Zhao Tianming came to the deck and bowed to Cai Jing.

"Hmph! What are you doing here?" Cai Jing snorted coldly.

"You, surnamed Cai, your birthday gifts have been stolen," Zhao Tianming said smugly.

"Who robbed them?" Cai Jing asked Zhao Tianming in surprise, his eyes wide.

"Whatever, I'm just here to watch the show," Zhao Tianming said to Cai Jing with a smile.

Zhao Tianming, don't be so arrogant. Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?

"Come on, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Zhao Tianming said without any fear.

Upon hearing this, Cai Jing took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and said, "Fine, very well. I, Cai Jing, have never been so humiliated in my life. No, this matter cannot be left like this. I must seek justice for myself. If word gets out, won't I be laughed at?"

So what do you want?

Cai Jing pondered for a moment, then said with a cold laugh: "Hmph, I don't care who you are. If you dare to ruin my plans, don't blame me for being impolite."

Cai Jing, you want to kill me? Heh, you think I'm afraid of you? Don't think I don't know your schemes and tricks. You just want to push me to the brink and then kill me.

Upon hearing Zhao Tianming's words, Cai Jing was startled.

Zhao Tianming's IQ is ridiculously high.

Did he read my mind?

Cai Jing was secretly surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

Hmph, you're right. But rest assured, I will expose your schemes in the shortest possible time. Then, we'll both be severely damaged, and I'll show you just how serious the consequences of offending me, Cai Jing.

snort!

Zhao Tianming sneered and said, "You think you can do it? Let me tell you, don't even think about it. If you know what's good for you, get lost. I want to continue my seclusion and don't have time for you."

Cai Jing smiled coldly and said: Zhao Tianming, you underestimate me too much. Do you think you can escape?

"Then let's give it a try," Zhao Tianming said.

Cai Jing's eyes turned cold, and he sneered inwardly.

The next second, his body suddenly disappeared into thin air, followed by a gust of wind.

Zhao Tianming was startled and quickly took several steps back, dodging the fatal blow.

You can actually use the invisibility spell?

Cai Jing was shocked.

"Hehe!" Zhao Tianming laughed. "Old fool, do you think I would come to this banquet unprepared?"

"Hmph!" Cai Jing snorted coldly and said, "Do you think I would believe your nonsense?"

Zhao Tianming shrugged and said, "Believe it or not. I'm here today to see just how powerful you really are, you old scoundrel."

"Very well, since that's the case, then let this old man learn from your skills." With that, Cai Jing leaped up and pounced on Zhao Tianming.

Not to be outdone, Zhao Tianming immediately met the attack.

boom!

With a muffled thud, the two men began to fight.

boom!

boom!

boom!

......

The two exchanged blows for a full half-incense stick's time, yet neither could gain the upper hand.

Haha, Zhao Tianming, you are no match for me. Surrender obediently.

dream.

......

You...you're asking for it.

......

Zhao Tianming and Cai Jing fought with increasing ferocity, their battle becoming fiercely even.

After a stick of incense.

puff!

Cai Jing suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

"You old fool, you're no match for me. You'd better get lost." Zhao Tianming said with a grin.

Cai Jing steadied himself, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said: "You bastard, how dare you hurt me! I swear I won't rest until I cripple you today!"

Hehe, I think you're tired of living. Come on.

He shall die.

Boom!

The two clashed again.

This time, Cai Jing was even more embarrassed.

One careless move and he was sent flying by Zhao Tianming's punch, crashing onto the deck of the boat.

The planks were immediately covered with cracks, and the hull began to rock violently, almost capsizing.

"Haha, you old scoundrel, your old bones are really no match for you, hahahahaha!" Zhao Tianming laughed loudly, his laughter extremely arrogant.

"Zhao Tianming, I refuse to believe your martial arts are invincible forever. One day, I will make you pay the price!" Cai Jing roared.

Hahaha, you old fool, we'll see if you're lucky enough to live to see that day.

Zhao Tianming sneered, but inwardly he was very pleased with himself.

My own Tai Chi Chuan is not just a name without substance.

Although Cai Jing was a civil official, he practiced martial arts extensively throughout his life, and his skills were comparable to those of the prime minister of the court.

Zhao Tianming also spent a lot of money to hire a martial arts master to teach him Tai Chi.

This martial arts master is a martial artist at the peak of the Innate Realm.

If he so desired, he could kill Cai Jing with a single thought.

Although Cai Jing was also a master of innate martial arts, he was old and his foundation was unstable, while that martial arts master was full of energy and physically strong.

Therefore, in their confrontation, Cai Jing was at a disadvantage.

Zhao Tianming won the competition.

Cai Jing was disheartened, knowing that he was no match for Zhao Tianming today, so he turned around and boarded the ship.

Seeing Cai Jing board the ship, Zhao Tianming also put away his cynical expression, took out paper and pen, wrote a few words, then blew on the ink to dry it, folded it neatly, and put it in his pocket.

After leaving the dock, Cai Jing headed towards the palace to report the news to the emperor.

He couldn't care less about anything else now; he had to inform the emperor immediately.

"Lord Cai, you've arrived?" A eunuch hurriedly greeted him as he approached the door of the Imperial Study.

Cai Jing nodded slightly and asked, "Where is the Emperor?"

Inside, Lord Cai, please follow me.

Ok.

Cai Jing responded and went inside.

Your subject Cai Jing pays his respects to Your Majesty.

No need for formalities.

The Emperor raised his head and, seeing Cai Jing's appearance, frowned and asked, "Lord Cai, what happened? Who beat you up like this?"

Cai Jing smiled bitterly and said, "It's all because of that bastard Zhao Tianming. He ambushed me and injured me."

what?

The Emperor was startled and asked, "Lord Cai, do you have any evidence?"

How could I possibly have any evidence? But what he just said was truly unbelievable, because...

Because of what?

Because his strength had actually reached the Innate Realm.

what?

The emperor exclaimed in surprise, his eyes flashing with shock.

What? The Innate Realm?

The emperor was utterly shocked.

He never expected that Zhao Tianming had actually reached the Innate Realm.

What kind of elixir did he take to improve so quickly?

it is true.

Cai Jing gave a wry smile and said, "Your Majesty, I ran into him last night."

what?

The emperor was even more shocked upon hearing this.

Do cultivators really exist in this world?

His face was full of disbelief.

However, he quickly calmed down and said to Cai Jing: "Lord Cai, now that you have seen his strength, you will have no chance to fight him."

Cai Jing was taken aback and asked, "Your Majesty, do you mean that he is very powerful?"

The emperor nodded and said: "Extremely strong, one could even be considered the number one person below the Innate Realm."

No...impossible. Cai Jing didn't believe it, saying: I don't believe it, I don't believe it.

I also find this kind of talk absurd. But the facts are right in front of you. Whether you believe it or not is irrelevant. What matters is that you have no chance to fight him again.

At this point, the emperor sighed and said, "Don't blame others. You can only blame yourself. Who told you to offend someone you shouldn't have?"

Someone who shouldn't be offended?

Cai Jing was puzzled.

The Emperor said, "Indeed. This matter is far too complex for me to discuss further. However, I hope you understand that if Zhao Tianming continues as he is, he will become a truly invincible master. And you, you are nothing more than an ant."

When Cai Jing saw Emperor Huizong describing Zhao Tianming in such a fantastical way, he was very displeased. He thought to himself: "This emperor clearly doesn't want me to cause any more trouble for Zhao Tianming. He's really infuriating!"

Cai Jing tried to stand up for Ximen Qing and Ximen Chuiniu, but ended up getting beaten up by Zhao Tianming himself. He left the imperial study and went straight home. Cai Jing ordered his steward to tell Ximen Qing and Ximen Chuiniu that he could no longer interfere in their affairs.
