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

At this moment, Liu Futong pointed at Chen Jie and said: ”Chen Jiusi is currently one of the Four Great Dharma Kings of the Zoroastrian Sect, known as the Mountain Descending Tiger, Tiger King, replacing the traitor Du Zundao’s position. Naturally, the name of the Dharma King can be chosen by oneself. If Jiu Si doesn’t choose one, we’ll temporarily use Tiger King as a placeholder and change it in the future.”

”This one, Zhu Chongba, is the newly appointed Zhenjiang Flood Dragon King, replacing Han Miaozhen’s position as a Dharma King.”

”Fourth Brother, this time you and Brother Chongba are both Dharma Kings in our Holy Sect, holding the same rank. You must not let any animosities regenerate; consider it giving your brother some face.”

Liu Futong looked at Chen Jie while speaking. Chen Jie listened to these words and glanced at Zhu Chongba. The name of the Dharma King is something one can choose personally. Zhenjiang Flood Dragon was clearly chosen by Zhu Yuanzhang for himself.

This name is great; it says a lot. First, Zhenjiang, what is it guarding? Where are most of the rivers? Jiangnan, that’s where. This guy means to dominate Jiangnan alone.

However, why not call it Zhenjiang Dragon? Maybe to avoid offending Fang Guozhen, the Sea Dragon.

But what is a Flood Dragon? A Flood Dragon is a type of dragon, a thousand years to become a Flood Dragon, and a Flood Dragon can also transform into a dragon, so it can be called Hidden Dragon.

From this title, one can see that Zhu Chongba’s ambitions are not small indeed.

However, since Liu Futong is acting as a peacemaker today, he cannot let things get too ugly. Plus, they are in the Great Capital now and share a common enemy, Tuotuo, and share the same goal, which is to rescue people.

So, they can be comrades in arms.

Chen Jie thought about it and cupped his fist towards Zhu Chongba, saying: ”I see Brother Chongba, from now on we are brothers.”

Zhu Chongba, upon hearing this, also cupped his fist towards Chen Jie and said: ”I see Brother Jiusi, from now on we are brothers.”

The two spoke to each other, bowed, and greeted each other.

Seeing this scene, Liu Futong breathed a sigh of relief. Could he not know if Chen Jiusi and Zhu Chongba had any animosities?

Back then, at the Treasure Book Glory Conference in Longxing Prefecture, it was so intense. Could he not have known?

And it was related to ”Wu Mu’s Legacy,” a significant military strategic work. Not knowing would be strange, but Liu Futong would not bring it up. Speaking of it would be too awkward. By not bringing it up, Chen Jie and Zhu Chongba were spared some embarrassment.

His purpose was to hope for reconciliation between Chen Jie and Zhu Chongba.

Zhu Chongba was once an insignificant figure, merely the adopted son-in-law of the Haozhou sub-squad leader Guo Zixing, married to their former Haozhou sub-squad deputy squad leader Ma Ziliang’s daughter, Ma Xiuying.

Thus considered a minor figure, he was not worth Liu Futong’s attention.

But now Zhu Chongba was not that person. He apprenticed under Kudu and had significant cultivation advancements. Upon meeting again this time, he had already achieved the cultivation level of the Melt God First Turn. This cultivation level qualified him to compete for the tenth place on the Heavenly List.

However, his military abilities were still uncertain. If he could leverage the Military Formation Power, there would be a chance to compete for the tenth place.

For the Zoroastrian Sect, currently suffering from a talent shortage, isn’t such talent a heavenly gift?

So after some interaction, Liu Futong and Zhu Chongba found common ground. Zhu Chongba also hoped to use the identity of the Zoroastrian Sect to attract more rebel army members to expand his forces.

Both held their own purposes and thus found common ground. Zhu Chongba was willing to elevate his identity in the sect, while Liu Futong also wanted to attract some talent for the Zoroastrian Sect, hence they found common ground.

They deeply regretted meeting late and became the closest allies.

Just when the two were getting along well, Fang Guozhen arrived, saying he wanted to see Chen Jiusi.

Liu Futong thought, Chen Jiusi is indeed my brother, but he has his own foundations and does not have a strong sense of belonging to the Holy Sect.

Zhu Chongba is a native disciple of the Zoroastrian Sect, so why not bring them together? After all, if united, both would benefit; if not, both would fail, hence he brought Zhu Yuanzhang along.

He hopes for Chen Jie and Zhu Chongba to turn misfortune into happiness, cooperate for mutual benefit, and find a way to rescue the Little Ming King together.

At this moment, seeing the two greet each other and shake hands, he felt quite pleased, for it could be considered his merit after all.

Thinking this, Fang Guozhen started shouting.

”Fourth Brother, this must be the Commandery Princess sister-in-law.”

Fang Guozhen’s words immediately attracted the crowd’s attention, followed by Chen Jie turning back to see Zhao Ya standing there with a smile.

Chen Jie finally responded: ”I forgot to introduce her to everyone.”

”Yaya.”

Chen Jie called Zhao Ya over and then introduced: ”Zhao Ya, my fiancée, the Ruyang King’s most cherished daughter, conferred by the court as Princess Xiangning.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya immediately cupped her fists and performed a Jianghu salute: ”I greet all the uncles.”

The term uncles is used by a sister-in-law to address the brothers, showing Zhao Ya’s cleverness by greeting with the identity of Chen Jie’s wife, leaving no room for dispute.

After hearing Zhao Ya’s words, Fang Guozhen laughed heartily: ”No need to be formal! Your name is known far and wide! For our Fourth Brother, you even refused to be the contemporary Empress, I must say, sister-in-law, you are indeed an extraordinary woman!”

Fang Guozhen made no effort to hide his admiration.

Liu Futong then looked at Zhao Ya, nodding slightly: ”Sister-in-law.”

His attitude couldn’t be described as overly passionate, which is understandable. Liu Futong has dealt often with the Ruyang King, and his hatred for the Mulan people runs deep. Many of his family members died at the hands of the Mulan people; if it were a typical encounter with a Mulan noble, he might have wanted to cut them to pieces.

But Zhao Ya is Chen Jie’s fiancée. He still has to consider his Fourth Brother, even if he is somewhat reluctantly, yet he still calls her sister-in-law.
