Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 2100 - 498: Ruyang King’s Grand Gift, the Second Innate Dao Fruit
Previously on Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!...
Chen Jie mumbled about his Third Brother, but now he truly couldn’t leave, otherwise he would definitely go to find his Third Brother to see what had happened.
But it shouldn’t be anything serious, after all, his Third Brother is also a figure on the Heavenly List, a formidable presence. There aren’t many in this world who can kill him, and those who can are also on the Heavenly List.
However, none of the Heavenly List strong people have slipped past Chen Jie’s attention.
The Double Absolute Peak: two people each confine themselves, one doesn’t leave the Great Capital City, and the other doesn’t leave Wudang Mountain, so these two can be directly eliminated from posing any threat to his Third Brother.
Next is the second on the Heavenly List, Han Shantong is dead; a dead person can’t pose a threat to my Third Brother. Besides, Han Shantong was originally the big brother to Fang Guozhen, my Third Brother, and wouldn’t have attacked my Third Brother while alive.
Then there’s the third in the world, Yuan Sanjia; although he gives an unfathomable feeling, so far, he hasn’t truly struck a killing blow to anyone. Moreover, the two don’t have any conflict of interest currently, so it’s impossible for them to strike against each other.
Besides them, who else is there? The fourth on the Heavenly List, Boluo Timur, the Treasure Elephant Army Commander, is currently in the Great Capital; the fifth, Shaolin Kudu Master, is in Shaolin.
The sixth and seventh, Peng Yingyu and Liu Futong, are both in the Huangzhou Prefecture.
The eighth, King Qi, is in the Northwest preparing troops and horses, unknown for what major event, also cannot pose any harm to Fang Guozhen on Divine Dragon Island overseas.
Ninth is my Third Brother himself, and tenth is Prince of Ruyang, also in Huangzhou Prefecture.
So, almost all the Heavenly List strong people are within my range, none targeting my Third Brother, thus Chen Jie doesn’t know who else can threaten his Third Brother’s safety.
Understanding this, Chen Jie felt much relieved.
As long as it’s not encountering someone from the Heavenly List, his Third Brother should not face much danger.
With this thought clear, Chen Jie mounted his horse, while Zhao Ya originally intended to ride along with Chen Jie. But when mounting the horse, she was reminded of yesterday’s craziness due to pain.
Thus, she could only switch to riding a carriage heading to the Reception Hall.
Just like this, the group moved, Chen Jie riding the horse to pave the way in the front, Zhao Ya riding behind in the carriage, followed by another carriage carrying the gifts Su Yunjin prepared for Chen Jie.
Thus, the group directly headed to the Reception Hall. Soon, they arrived at the Reception Hall, where Chen Jie found the White Deer Army outside already fully armed, causing him to look at Zhao Ya in surprise.
Zhao Ya was also surprised, looking at the fully armed White Deer Army, clearly indicating urgency in the army.
While Chen Jie and Zhao Ya were puzzled, Wang Baobao came out, Zhao Ya saw him and said: "Third Brother."
Wang Baobao glanced at Zhao Ya, especially noticing the blush on her face, and said: "You came early."
Chen Jie then stepped forward with fists together: "Third Brother-in-law."
Wang Baobao replied: "Mm."
This was an acknowledgment of the relationship, while Zhao Ya queried: "Third Brother, what is this you’re engaging in?"
Wang Baobao answered: "Oh, Father said, we have finished the marriage, but we won’t stay much longer in the Huangzhou Prefecture and leave today."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya was surprised: "Why in such a rush?"
Wang Baobao responded: "There’s truly some emergency at home; Jiangnan has just been pacified, and there’s a lot of trivialities we need to go back and handle, can’t stay away too long."
Listening to this, Zhao Ya said: "Can’t you stay for one more night at least?"
"No!"
While Zhao Ya was speaking, a stern voice came, Zhao Ya looked up to see Prince of Ruyang standing on the steps saying: "Kuo Kuo, continue to prepare the army, Zhao Ya, come over."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya promptly approached Prince of Ruyang, seeing Zhao Ya quickly step up to hold her father’s arm: "Father, stay one more day please, there are lots of good food in Huangzhou Prefecture, let’s go eat together, shall we?"
Upon hearing this, Prince of Ruyang said: "Yaya, stop fussing, you know as well, military orders are like mountains. This king has already issued moving orders, do you wish to see this king lose faith with the army?"
Heeding this, Zhao Ya remained silent since losing faith in the army is a red line, if military orders cannot be thoroughly executed, the army utterly loses combat strength.
Thus, Zhao Ya, understanding military affairs, dared not further request delaying.
Chen Jie followed behind, step by step without expressing any opinions or showing resistance. He’s already benefitting strongly, having married the daughter of Prince of Ruyang, so playing a fool for a moment is nothing.
Consequently, Chen Jie kept a smiling demeanor while tagging along.
Upon entering the Inner Hall, Prince of Ruyang sat at the head position, then looked at Chen Jie and Zhao Ya, saying: "Sit."
Both Chen Jie and Zhao Ya dared not voice objections, sitting down promptly and looking at Prince of Ruyang, who then addressed Zhao Ya: "Yaya, and you, Chen Jiusi."
"I don’t favor this marriage between you, but since it’s reached this point, saying more is pointless, I hope you cherish each other."
"Especially you, Chen Jiusi, if I ever hear you’re treating Yaya poorly, even if your Huangzhou Prefecture stands solid as gold, I will surely lead the White Deer Army to have you punished!"
Having heard this, Chen Jie replied to Prince of Ruyang: "Prince, rest assured, I, Chen Jiusi, will not wrong Yaya, even if it means wronging myself."
Upon hearing, Prince of Ruyang said: "That’s good, although I’m not optimistic about you, you are officially my son-in-law as of yesterday’s royal decree. I know you’re quite dissatisfied with that decree, but I hope you won’t act irrationally. As long as I’m Prince of Ruyang for another day, I don’t wish for my son-in-law to be a rebel."
