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

Chapter 330: Chapter 138 Wife: Husband, my husband is alright, isn’t he?_3

The old blind man said, ”Help you? It’s not just you that I’m helping. In fact, I’m making another gamble, using the fate of the world as the wager, betting on the future!”

Chen Jie asked, ”Elder, is your prediction accurate?”

”Of course, it’s accurate.”

The old blind man said, ”I pierced my own eyes to exchange for heavenly secrets. If it weren’t accurate, wouldn’t my eyes have been blinded in vain?”

Chen Jie looked at the old blind man and asked, ”Elder, then at noon today in the noodle shop, when you said you and I share the same destiny and that there are three people who can compete for the world in the future, who are they?”

”I can’t tell you that. You will meet them in the future.”

Chen Jie asked, ”Then may I guess?”

”Oh, go on.”

”At that time, there was only one pig’s trotter in the bowl, and you said it was too salty. Are you suggesting that these two people are related to these two things, referring to their surnames? Is the pig for the surname Zhu, and salty for the surname Xian? Or does it mean that this person is related to salt, as ’salty’ means ’salt’? Could it be related to the salt trade?”

After hearing this, the old blind man squinted his empty eyes and said, ”Hmm, interesting!”

Hearing this, Chen Jie’s face showed a mix of surprise and bitterness.

In fact, after bidding farewell to the old blind man today, he had gone to the Spring Breeze Theater and had been thinking about this matter all along.

But the more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed.

Because he was startled to find that some things in this world actually matched up with the Yuan Dynasty he had learned about in history classes before.

The Mulan Clan, a nomadic tribe from the grasslands, later produced a Heavenly Khan who united the grassland and spanned the Eurasian Continent. Later, his descendants split into four tribes, one of which established Daqian in the Central Plains!

And the dynasty before Daqian was called Qian Song, just as the dynasty before the Yuan in real history was the Song.

If all these were mere coincidences, Chen Jie then thought of his own brother, Ni Wenjun.

The name Ni Wenjun didn’t ring a bell at first, but he later remembered that it was the name of the famous guide of the Han King, Chen Youliang, from history.

And even more bizarre was that Chen Youliang’s original name was Chen Jiusi, who lived in Xiantao and whose father, originally surnamed Xie, was a fisherman by birth and later joined the Chen family through marriage.

Everything matched up, everything was aligned!

And thinking back to the bowl of noodles the old blind man left on the table with the pig and the salt made him think of the two notorious strongmen from the end of the Yuan period.

At that moment, Chen Jie looked at the old blind man and said, ”Elder, the other two you’ve chosen who share my destiny are someone with the surname Zhu and someone involved in the illegal salt trade, right?”

”Hmm, you guessed it?”

The old blind man was slightly surprised.

Chen Jie said, ”Allow me to guess further. Is the person with the surname Zhu called Zhu Chongba, and the one involved in the salt trade called Zhang Jiusi?”

”How did you know that!”

Hearing Chen Jie’s words, the old blind man could no longer sit still. He stared in Chen Jie’s direction with his blind eyes as if he could see something.

Chen Jie, hearing this, plopped down on the ground, exclaiming in his mind, ”God damn, it really is the end of the Yuan era. Zhu Chongba, Zhang Jiusi, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Shicheng, then me?”

Chen Jie looked up at the old blind man and asked, ”Elder, when you asked me if I had a distinguished name last time, were you thinking of giving me one?”

By then, the old blind man was too shocked to speak.

This kid had some real talent. The old blind man wasn’t surprised that he could guess the others’ surnames or professions, but guessing their names was truly incredible.

After a long contemplation, the old blind man said, ”Yes, so what name do you think I wanted to give you?”

Chen Jie looked at the old blind man and said, ”It’s not Youliang, is it?”

”You!”

The old blind man completely lost his composure and stood up, shocked, and said, ”Could it be that there really are people born with innate knowledge?”

The old blind man looked at Chen Jie and said, ”How did you know that I wanted to give you these two characters?”

”I guessed!”

The old blind man slowly calmed his emotions and said, ”A person of great virtue must possess something extraordinary. Indeed, heaven has not deceived me. Hahaha...”

The old blind man laughed excitedly and then said to Chen Jie, ”Indeed, I haven’t misjudged you. You’re not an ordinary person. Born under the Greedy Wolf, which commands killing, you also have an alien life force that can change your Life Palace. You may be the only anomaly in my three bets that wasn’t accurate. Good, very good.”

Listening to the old blind man’s excited words, Chen Jie appeared very calm.

He had become completely calm when he realized he was Chen Youliang.

What a mess, how could he be Chen Youliang? And if he remembered history correctly, wasn’t he supposed to be a treacherous villain, first killing Ni Wenjun and then Xu Shouhui?

Ni Wenjun!

Would he really kill Brother Ni with his own hands?

Chen Jie felt surreal, how could he kill Ni Wenjun given their relationship?

And was he destined to die at the hands of Zhu Chongba in the future? Was that also fate?

However, Chen Jie didn’t believe that fate couldn’t be changed. After all, this wasn’t the Mongol Yuan of history, but Daqian.

And historical records wouldn’t necessarily be the same here, given that martial arts were much stronger in this world than during the actual Mongol Yuan era. Moreover, if the world had changed, then surely some of the events recorded in history would be different.

At the very least, he wouldn’t kill Brother Ni!

Thinking thus, Chen Jie also recalled the famous historical figures of that period. All he could remember were

Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Zhang Shicheng, Chen Youliang, and oh, Zhang Dingbian. Yes.

Chen Jie remembered that in this part of history, both he and Zhu Yuanzhang started out with an SSR-level general by their side. Zhu Yuanzhang’s general was Xu Da, while his own seemed to be Zhang Dingbian. So where was his Zhang Dingbian?

Where was his fierce general?

Chen Jie pondered a lot while sitting there.

Thinking back to the end of the Yuan period, he didn’t know much about it, only the basic figures.

He even learned about some of those figures through Jin Yong’s ”Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.”
