Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 2075 - 491: Dear Brother, It’s Been a While!

"Oh, Fourth Brother is here. I thought you’d be too busy preparing for your wedding to join us!"

Liu Futong saw Chen Jiusi walk in and immediately smiled, saying.

Chen Jiusi then said, "Hahaha, both of my brothers are here, so no matter how busy I am, I have to come and see you."

"And I didn’t come empty-handed, look!"

Chen Jie took out two large jugs of wine and said, "These are my cherished old wines, brewed back when I was in Mianshui County, aged for years. The flavor is just right, much better than the ordinary baijiu they provide here."

Hearing this, Peng Yingyu said, "Haha, with such good wine, why didn’t you bring it out sooner? Let Old Liu and me drink this bland stuff for so long."

Chen Jie said, "I had a banquet prepared at the City Lord Mansion with Brother Ni, but since you two didn’t come over and insisted on drinking here, I could only bring the good wine prepared for you both."

Hearing this, Peng Yingyu looked at Liu Futong and said, "See, this is still our fault."

Liu Futong responded, "It’s all this Great Monk’s fault for wanting to see the sights of Huangzhou Prefecture. Otherwise, how could we not keep Fourth Brother’s appointment?"

Peng Yingyu laughed and said, "Don’t you think drinking here makes us feel more relaxed and joyful? To be honest, after coming to Huangzhou Prefecture, I feel like my golden body has recovered quite a bit!"

Hearing this, Liu Futong said, "Indeed, this is truly a harmonious scene. I must say, Fourth Brother, your governance is truly effective. Look at how comfortably the people of Huangzhou Prefecture live, it really makes one envious."

Chen Jie said, "Yes, the people are innocent. If all the officials and rulers could treat the people a little better, you’d see that they are easily satisfied and would sincerely appreciate you."

"Second Brother, how does this scene compare to the Buddha Country you mentioned?"

Hearing this, Peng Yingyu thought for a moment and said, "Not much different."

Liu Futong replied, "Monk, Jiu Si’s place compares to Buddha Country, while your Jingxiang area I’ve heard is almost like a ghostly land, with displaced and destitute people. How can you, as a Buddha, manage that?"

Mentioning the Jingxiang area made Peng Yingyu’s face look very unpleasant because, in theory, Xiangyang City was supposed to be the capital of their Tianyuan Empire!

But now, that capital city is like a ghostly land, while Huangzhou Prefecture has become a mortal Buddha Country.

What an irony.

Liu Futong didn’t spare Peng Yingyu and said, "Old Peng, I think the fate reading skills you boasted about must have had issues. That Xu Shouhui you supported turned Xiangyang City into a mess. Look at our Jiu Si here. If you ask me, it would’ve been better to elevate Jiu Si as your Tianyuan Empire’s Emperor."

Hearing this, Peng Yingyu fell silent, and Chen Jie immediately said, "Big Brother, don’t talk nonsense. What virtue or ability do I have to become Emperor?"

Liu Futong said, "Hehe, Jiu Si, I see the image of an Emperor in you."

"Old Peng, what do you think?"

Liu Futong looked at Peng Yingyu and asked. Hearing this, Peng Yingyu remained silent, his mind filled with countless thoughts but ultimately just returning to silence, unable to make a decision.

Chen Jie naturally saw through Peng Yingyu’s thoughts and didn’t want to pressure him too much. In fact, Peng Yingyu was already on his side, only lacking a little lingering thought.

And Chen Jie had the time to change Peng Yingyu’s mind.

At this moment, Chen Jie said, "Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this. Let’s drink, drink."

Chen Jie interrupted their conversation and immediately brought out the good wine he had prepared. These wines, brewed in Mianshui, were truly aromatic and intoxicating after being aged.

He filled the cups for his two brothers, and the three of them drank together, exhaling contentedly.

At this moment, Chen Jie said, "It’s a pity Third Brother isn’t here; otherwise, drinking together would be so much more enjoyable!"

Liu Futong said, "Yes, what could have kept Third Brother busy for so long without any news? The day after tomorrow, Jiu Si is getting married."

Peng Yingyu said, "It’s indeed strange. Normally, Third Brother is the most eager to participate in lively events; why didn’t he come today?"

Hearing this, Liu Futong said, "Yes, how could Third Brother miss such an important day for Fourth Brother? But don’t worry, Fourth Brother, you know Third Brother’s relationship with you. On the wedding day, he’ll surely come."

Chen Jie replied, "Third Brother didn’t come, so he must have been held up by something. I understand, and I’m sure he’ll come soon."

Liu Futong said, "Hmm, Fourth Brother, you truly have a broad mind."

Peng Yingyu said, "Alright, alright, we’ve been chatting for so long, and the wine hasn’t gone down at all. Let’s drink, drink!"

Saying this, Peng Yingyu poured himself a cup, and Chen Jie and Liu Futong also had a drink with him. Liu Futong said while drinking, "Jiu Si, if Big Brother hadn’t come to your Huangzhou Prefecture, he wouldn’t have known, but now that he’s here, he’s truly amazed."

"Your governance ability is truly one of a kind, and this Trade Mansion can indeed be considered the number one building of all time!"

Chen Jie responded, "Big Brother overpraises!"

Liu Futong said, "I’m just like this; if someone does well, then they do well, and if not, then not. Your governance of Huangzhou Prefecture makes even me reluctant to leave. I have to say, Fourth Brother, you’re someone capable of letting the people live well."

Chen Jie said, "Hahaha, if Big Brother is reluctant to leave, then stay longer in Huangzhou Prefecture, and we brothers can gather more often."
