Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1660 - 383: Li Siqi: Ruyang King, I Heard You’re Going to Be Chen 94’s Father-in-law?

The Ruyang King persisted in his stubbornness.

Hearing those words, Boluo Timur furrowed his brow faintly and turned toward Li Siqi, inquiring, "Does King Qi possess any clues? Why does it seem like you know something?"

Li Siqi let out a chuckle, replying, "Me? I know nothing at all, but..."

"But what?"

Boluo Timur pressed.

"I’ve heard rumors that the Commandery Princess journeyed through the Jianghu two years back and shared a deep bond with a man from Huangzhou Prefecture called Chen Jiusi. Some whispers even claim they kindled a hidden romance. Could it be that my niece, the Commandery Princess, ran off with this Chen Jiusi?" Li Siqi declared.

"Li Siqi, how dare you tarnish my daughter’s chastity!"

How could the Ruyang King tolerate Li Siqi’s accusation? In a thunderous rage, he hoisted his eighty-jin Crescent Warblade straight toward Li Siqi.

Wind and thunder echoed in this blow, revealing no mercy whatsoever. The Ruyang King was dead set on slaying him.

The ferocious slash hurtled toward Li Siqi.

Yet right before it struck Li Siqi, a long spear blocked the Ruyang King’s attack.

Clang!

A deafening clash shook heaven and earth, shifting everyone’s faces. Bystanders sensed their eardrums nearly shattering.

"Chaghan!"

Boluo Timur bellowed in fury over the brutal strike.

Li Siqi displayed no terror. Clutching the long blade on his waist, he stared at the Ruyang King and remarked, "Chaghan, why such agitation? Does my words strike too close to home?"

"Shut your mouth!"

The Ruyang King exploded in wrath. He raised his blade toward Li Siqi once more, but Boluo Timur yelled furiously, "Chaghan, stop this at once!"

Clang...

Weapons collided again. Chaghan Timur, seething with rage, bellowed, "Li Siqi, you dare besmirch my daughter’s name! I won’t let you off!"

He claimed outrage at Li Siqi ruining Zhao Ya’s reputation, yet deep down, he recognized his fury stemmed from the shame of exposed secrets. Indeed, shame it was. He understood his own affairs well—how could he be ignorant of Zhao Ya’s?

Was he unaware that Zhao Ya truly had ties with Chen Jiusi, just as Li Siqi described?

But dare he confess it? Could he voice it aloud?

With Li Siqi piercing the truth, humiliation surged within him, laced with dread, erupting into this blind wrath.

Boluo Timur deftly pinned the Ruyang King’s spear using his own long spear, gazing at him as he said, "Chaghan, you seem off. Is Li Siqi correct about Princess Xiangning?"

"Rubbish! My daughter remains virtuous and exalted—how could she entangle with a lowly figure like Chen Jiusi! Li Siqi has long clashed with me, so it’s expected he’d spew such provocations. Boluo, do you believe him too?"

The Ruyang King bellowed in fury.

Boluo Timur’s face grew stern as he urged, "Chaghan, compose yourself. Li Siqi’s remarks are harsh indeed, but who is this Chen Jiusi exactly?"

"Indeed, Chaghan, reveal who this Chen Jiusi truly is!"

"What sort of man? Merely a rebel nothing more. A Maitreya follower tied tightly to Peng Yingyu. My Yaya did befriend him unknowingly at first, but after discovering his real identity, she severed all contact—they’ve had no dealings since. Li Siqi’s claims reek of malice, and today I’ll defend my Ruyang Royal Mansion’s Commandery Princess honor from this slander!"

The Ruyang King thundered in rage.

At that instant, Li Siqi called out, "Haha, Chaghan, ‘not knowing his background’? I wager privately, Chen Jiusi already hails you as Father-in-law. Raising your voice won’t flip the facts—it won’t be so simple!"

"You—today, we fight to the death!"

Chen Jie roared in outrage. Li Siqi sneered in response, "Bring it; I fear you not."

Boluo Timur quickly stepped in then, declaring, "Stop, stop—you’re all Vassal Kings posted together; is this strife truly worth it? Just some Chen Jiusi. After settling Bright Peak, I’ll head to Huangzhou Prefecture, hack him into dog food—what’s the fuss?"

Boluo Timur uttered it offhandedly. Truly, to him, a mere Chen Jiusi was trivial to eliminate.

Though the Ruyang King yearned to retort upon hearing this, Prime Minister Tuotuo, silent until now, finally interjected, "Enough already with the uproar."

Upon uttering these words, the three Daqian Army commanders in attendance fell quiet, their eyes turning toward Prime Minister Tuotuo. His position was far too lofty for them to challenge lightly.

Though he had never trained in martial arts, Tuotuo held half of Daqian’s Dragon Energy, which naturally elevated him to an impregnable status and bestowed complete dominance over every official in the Daqian domain.

Such is the formidable might inherent to the Prime Minister’s role.

Word in the court holds that two Emperors now rule: one being Emperor Shun of the Golden Family, who has long since abandoned handling worldly matters.

The other is Tuotuo, born outside the Imperial bloodline, yet he governs the empire’s affairs alone, solidly establishing himself as second only to the Emperor.

With Tuotuo now stepping in, the Treasure Elephant Army Commander, Ruyang King, and King Qi all stayed silent. This exemplifies the sheer force of authority.

Tuotuo declared, "Very well, the court already knows of this incident. With Princess Xiangning missing, we must direct all efforts toward locating her. Accountability is unnecessary now. The true priority remains Bright Peak, the actual malignancy viewed by the court. How could the three military leaders present let such a trivial matter breed division?"
