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

Chapter 1189: Chapter 283: Chen Jie: Yo, Ruyang King, Father-in-law

Watching the sleeping Zhao Ya, Chen Jie tidied her temples, his gaze becoming deep.

There was a burden on Zhao Ya that did not belong to someone her age.

Chen Jie sighed, turned, and went into the pool, where he saw Lord Jin by the water’s edge with his eyes closed, his tail swaying in the golden pool.

Chen Jie looked at Lord Jin, who opened his eyes to glance at him but soon closed them again, with little interest.

A human, how boring!

Chen Jie squatted down and gazed at the bright moon in the sky.

Thus, a night quietly passed.

The next morning, with Linglong’s help, Zhao Ya groomed herself as today was the day she left Miao Territory. She did not want revenge against Miao Territory, so she couldn’t make herself look too miserable. Otherwise, if her father were to start a war in anger, it would be very bad for Zhao Ya, considering her relationship with Linglong.

After getting ready, it was time for the hostage exchange.

At this moment, the Mother Gu still led Elder Jin Chan and Guardian Elder to negotiate with Ruyang King.

Ruyang King was very ceremonious this time, accompanied not only by Lord Wuxiang but also by Wang Baobao and He Yishou.

Gui Yannian was absent, as this Elder Turtle was seriously injured. His right leg couldn’t be saved and was amputated yesterday, and he is now recuperating.

But even so, Ruyang King still wanted to negotiate peace with the Mother Gu.

Because he really couldn’t wait any longer, matters in Jiangnan can’t be left without him for a few days, much less hiding with Mother Gu in the deep mountains.

He genuinely couldn’t afford to delay for half a year or even a month.

A commander like him, if leaving the central command, who knows what terrifying events might occur!

Gui Yannian is merely a Prince Mansion Tributor, required to make sacrifices at critical moments. Of course, Gui Yannian himself quite accepts this and doesn’t have any other negative attitude.

After all, the world is like this; it won’t change due to one or two people.

Following the grand trend, unless you’re the chess player, everyone else is just pawns!

At this moment, both sides were poised. Ruyang King looked at Mother Gu and said, ”Mother Gu, it’s time. Can I have my daughter back?”

Mother Gu said, ”Ruyang King, the Commandery Princess is safe and sound; we can return her. But, please, Ruyang King withdraw your troops.”

Ruyang King said, ”Mother Gu, I’ll withdraw once I see my daughter.”

Upon hearing this, Mother Gu waved her hand, and then Linglong and Chen Jie, flanking Zhao Ya from the cave, appeared.

”Yaya!”

”Commandery Princess!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao spurred his horse forward but was held back by Ruyang King.

Then Ruyang King said, ”Yaya, are you alright?”

Zhao Ya responded, ”Father, I’m well. Please withdraw the troops; this is a misunderstanding!”

Ruyang King was startled, a misunderstanding?

But after thinking it over, he said, ”Okay, since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s discuss it slowly. Mother Gu, can you release her?”

Mother Gu said, ”Prince, the Commandery Princess is unharmed, returned to you. I wonder if the Prince can withdraw the troops.”

Ruyang King gestured to Wang Baobao, ”Withdraw the troops!”

Wang Baobao immediately shouted, ”Withdraw the troops!”

With the order given, the army immediately pulled back, quickly marching down the mountain.

Ruyang King looked towards Mother Gu and said, ”Is this satisfactory?”

Mother Gu said, ”Sure, the Prince proves to be trustworthy. Release them!”

Upon hearing this, Mother Gu immediately released them, and Zhao Ya then glanced back at Linglong and said, ”Linglong, I’m leaving.”

Linglong said, ”I will diligently practice martial arts. Once I reach Dragon Realm, I’ll surely visit you in Jiangnan, Sister Yaya.”

Zhao Ya said, ”I’ll be waiting.”

Then Chen Jie also said, ”Farewell, Linglong.”

Linglong looked at Chen Jie and said, ”Brother Chen, take care!”

The three cherished their farewell, then Chen Jie and Zhao Ya came over to Ruyang King’s side. Seeing this scene, Ruyang King furrowed his brows slightly.

How does it look like Yaya has a good relationship with the Saintess of the Five Poison Sect?

Thinking this, Ruyang King watched as Zhao Ya gradually returned to his camp.

At the same time, his eyes fell upon Chen Jiusi.

His brows furrowed, but at this moment Zhao Ya bowed and said, ”Father.”

Ruyang King said, ”Alright, let’s not talk about this now. Since you’re fine, let’s go down the mountain, and we’ll discuss future matters later.”

After saying this, Ruyang King swung his whip, spurred his horse, and directed the whole troop to withdraw, and they went out directly.

They quickly withdrew from Five Poison Mountain and finally galloped for thirty miles to reach Chongshan Prefecture City in Xiangxi.

Here, there were still officials from Daqian, so Ruyang King directly led the group to rest in Chongshan Prefecture City.

Upon hearing this, the Chongshan Prefecture Magistrate immediately gave his government office residence to Ruyang King.

Once things were arranged, Zhao Ya and Chen Jie were brought to the back hall of the government office.

As soon as the two entered the back hall, they heard Wang Baobao shout, ”Guards, arrest Chen Jiusi!”

”Yes!”

With the order given, a group of people immediately stepped forward to hold Chen Jie, who did not resist and cooperated entirely throughout the process.

Yet Zhao Ya exclaimed, ”Brother Third, what are you doing? Why are you arresting him?”

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao looked at Zhao Ya and said, ”Yaya, this person cannot stay.”

”Why can’t he stay?”

Wang Baobao said, ”This person betrayed his master. When you were captured by the Five Poison Sect, he defected to the Five Poison Sect, giving them advice and strategies. Such a person cannot be kept!”

Hearing this, Zhao Ya said, ”Who said he betrayed me? Brother Third, where did you hear such nonsense!”

”During the days I was captured by the Five Poison Sect, it was always Chen Jiusi mediating, ensuring my safety. How can you randomly arrest a meritorious person!”
