Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1856 - 434: Li Shanchang and the 8 Princes’ Journey (Part 2)

Chen Jie said, "I have great ambitions, and there is enough stage for more talented people. Mr., why worry about having no place to showcase your talents!""Ahem... Hero Chen."

After Chen Jie finished speaking, Tang He couldn’t help but interject, "Hero Chen, we respect you and call you Hero Chen, but your behavior in recruiting face-to-face is not the conduct of a gentleman."

Jie Wenyan laughed heartily and said, "Ah, oh dear, I didn’t notice, I didn’t notice, Brother Tang, you must forgive me. I am someone who is delighted to see talent. Seeing Brother Tang makes me want to recruit you under my command to achieve great ambitions together."

Hearing Chen Jie’s words, Tang He’s expression didn’t look good, but he couldn’t directly fall out with him, so he could only say with a forced smile, "Daqian is still here, please Hero Chen, don’t do things that hurt those close to you and make your enemies happy."

Chen Jie said, "Understood, understood, then I still need to rush on the road, so I will leave first, do you have anything else?"

Chen Jie smiled cheerfully at Tang He. Tang He couldn’t do anything to him, so he could only clasp his hands and say, "Farewell."

As he said this, he let the path clear. He initially wanted to invite Chen Jie to visit their military camp, but now he no longer felt like it, as this Chen Jiusi’s actions were too inappropriate, openly recruiting people. If he truly invited him into the camp and he set his sights on some of the subordinates, what could he do?

Although Tang He didn’t want to admit it, Huangzhou Prefecture did hold notable significance in the rebel forces. The people there were prosperous, the economy was flourishing, and the military was strong, which were all envied by these people.

If Chen Jie truly entered the camp, starting to recruit, there wasn’t much he could do.

Thinking of this, at this moment Chen Jie looked at Tang He and said, "Then we shall leave now."

As Chen Jie waved his hand, he immediately let the Commandery Princess and others follow, and the group directly passed through Guancheng Prefecture and headed straight for Hebei Cangzhou, where Wang Baobao was waiting for them.

As Chen Jie went further away, Li Shanchang squinted his eyes and said, "Truly a formidable hero of this era."

Tang He, listening at one side, said, "Mr. Li, are you perhaps tempted?"

Li Shanchang looked at Tang He and said, "If I were tempted and left with him, could you stop me?"

Tang He was speechless for a moment, but he still spoke, "Mr. Li, my elder brother has been sincere with you, I hope you won’t betray my brother’s trust, nor betray the trust of us brothers."

Li Shanchang looked at Tang He again, and sighed, Chen Jiusi’s killing methods struck right to the heart. A single sentence evoked such a strong reaction from Tang He. It’s uncertain how his superiors would react upon hearing his words.

Li Shanchang could only smile bitterly, but internally he greatly appreciated Chen Jie’s statement that "Mr. has the talent of a Prime Minister." Li Shanchang was inherently proud, and being acknowledged by such a famous young hero in the world, Li Shanchang felt this was the legendary appreciation between heroes.

After Chen Jie left, Zhao Ya rode up to him and said, "That sentence you said earlier, was it intentionally spoken for that Tang He’s ears?"

Chen Jie said, "He tried to suppress me with Zhu Chongba’s Melt God First Turn. If I don’t show him something impressive, he’d truly think I’m easy to bully."

With these words, Zhao Ya said, "Melt God First Turn, indeed, Shaolin does have deep foundations."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie remained silent. Zhao Ya thought for a moment and said, "Actually, this journey to the Great Capital, is both a crisis and an opportunity."

Chen Jie, startled, looked at her and asked, "What opportunity?"

Zhao Ya began, "In the Great Capital Treasury, there’s a Dao Fruit. When the court wanted my father to marry me to the Emperor, the Emperor promised my father that on the wedding day, he would give this Dao Fruit to my father, to help him advance further, entering the Second Turn."

Chen Jie was stunned upon hearing this and looked at Zhao Ya, "It takes two Dao Fruits to go from First Turn to Second Turn. How can the Prince enter the Molten God Second Transition with just one Dao Fruit?"

Zhao Ya smiled and said, "My father already has a Dao Fruit, which he obtained when he destroyed the Southern Red Gang years ago."

Chen Jie knew about the Southern Red Gang, which once dominated Jiangnan, spanning over ten prefectures. Its gang leader was exceptionally powerful, and ultimately, it was Ruyang King who, against all opposition, used his formidable military strength to annihilate the Southern Red Gang.

So it made sense to Chen Jie that Ruyang King had a Dao Fruit.

However, this information was also very useful for Chen Jie. The Royal Treasury contained a Dao Fruit that could advance him to Molten God First Turn, which was an unexpected gain, it seemed.

Chen Jie felt that this journey to the Great Capital wasn’t as daunting as he originally thought.

This trip was initially meant to save someone, but unexpectedly, there was a Dao Fruit that could advance his Martial Arts. That settled it, it seemed the Royal Treasury would need to be visited.

Thinking this, Chen Jie said to Zhao Ya, "Yaya, it seems you truly are my lucky star."

Chen Jie was instantly invigorated. Originally, visiting his father-in-law wasn’t so pressing, but if acquiring a Dao Fruit could be a side benefit, then visiting the Great Capital became a necessity.

With that thought, Chen Jie, full of energy, journeyed along with Zhao Ya directly towards Hebei Cangzhou Prefecture.

After traveling for three days and three nights, they finally arrived at Cangzhou Prefecture.

They were only two days away from the Capital now, so Chen Jie and his group opened a store there to wait for Wang Baobao.

Meanwhile, Wang Baobao was at the Lu Royal Mansion, waiting for Prince Lu.

Prince Lu was also a member of the Royal Family, though not as closely related as Ruyang King. In terms of lineage, he should be the Emperor’s great uncle’s cousin.

They were of the same clan but of different branches.

At this time, Wang Baobao was sitting in the hall of Prince Lu’s mansion. The servants in the mansion brought Wang Baobao a cup of fine tea, premium Longjing from West Lake.
