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

Chapter 441: Chapter 156 Nan Batian: What, Chen 94 has formed an alliance with Liu Laoguai? (Seeking followers)_6

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Master, then I will accompany you.”

Doctor Bai said, ”That won’t do. If you leave, Nan Batian will inevitably become suspicious. Extra issues could arise, making it easier for problems to occur.”

Chen Jie said, ”I’ll have Xiao Hu accompany you.”

Doctor Bai said, ”No need. Xiao Hu is your close aide. His absence would also likely arouse Nan Batian’s suspicion.”

”In that case, just give me a batch of fast horses and two or three guards.”

Chen Jie said, ”That won’t do, Master. The journey to Hubei Shennong is long and fraught with bandits. It’s not safe. If we don’t bring more people, I won’t be at ease. Chen Da, Chen Wu!”

”Present!”

Then, the guards responded instantly, followed by Chen Jie saying, ”You lead the Twelve Guards and a team of White Tiger Guards to escort my master to Hubei Shennong.”

”Yes.”

Hearing this, the Twelve Guards immediately responded, and at the same time, the team of White Tiger Guards led by Chen Wu also stepped forward.

The Twelve Guards, along with fifteen people from the White Tiger Guards, made up a squad of twenty-eight people, just enough to protect Doctor Bai on his journey to Shennong.

However, twenty-eight people plus Doctor Bai made twenty-nine people, requiring as many horses as well, and Chen Jie didn’t have that many horses!

At this point, with Doctor Bai, they found Elder Liu.

At this time, Elder Liu’s eyes were brimming with tears, lamenting as if in mourning, his son afflicted.

Chen Jie then said, ”Guild Leader Liu, please hold back your grief for a moment. My master has said he has a way to cure your son, but it necessitates a long journey.”

Caught off guard, Elder Liu turned to Doctor Bai and said, ”Doctor Bai, can you cure my son?”

Doctor Bai said, ”The Triple Worms, Triple Blossoms Poison is indeed hard to cure, but in this world, there is a solution. My master, Divine Doctor Anderson, possesses Nine-flavor Detoxification Pills that can cure all poisons in the world. Although the Triple Worms, Triple Blossoms Poison is difficult, it can be resolved using the Nine-flavor Detoxification Pills.”

Elder Liu said, ”Good, good! Indeed, a famous doctor. Then please, Doctor Bai, ask your master to bestow these Nine-flavor Detoxification Pills.”

Upon hearing this, Doctor Bai glanced at Chen Jie, and Chen Jie said, ”Guild Leader Liu, my master can now go and ask my advisor. However, there’s an issue. My advisor lives in Shennong, Hubei, quite far from here. Even on fast horses, it would take five days and five nights. That’s why we would like to borrow a few horses from Guild Leader Liu.”

Elder Liu, after hearing this, laughed heartily and said, ”I thought it was a major issue. It’s just a few horses. Sure, I’ll lend them to you.”

Chen Jie said, ”Twenty-nine horses.”

”Huh?”

Elder Liu said, ”That many? I only have fifteen!”

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”I have five horses. In that case, let the Twelve Eagles and then select five elite from the White Tiger Guards to follow my master north.”

Hearing this, Elder Liu said, ”Okay, then I’ll trouble you all. My son’s life is in your hands.”

Doctor Bai, hearing this, spoke very liberally and smiled, ”Guild Leader Liu, rest assured. I will certainly do my best.”

After saying this, Doctor Bai said, ”There’s no time to delay. Let’s depart tonight. From poisoning to detoxification, seven days is the optimal time. If it exceeds seven days, I fear my master’s Detoxification Pill may not be effective, and even if the poison is resolved, it might leave lingering effects.”

Elder Liu said, ”Then, please, Doctor Bai, make haste.”

At this time, Chen Jie called over his own guards, selected new brothers, each loyal to the core and many from Xiantao Village.

Chen Jie took out a silver note of five thousand taels from his chest and said, ”Everyone, eat well, drink well, and take good care of my master. Make sure nothing goes wrong.”

Hearing this, a group of people bowed with fists and said, ”Hall Master, rest assured, we’ll ensure Mr. Bai’s safe return.”

Chen Jie bowed with fists and said, ”I’m counting on all of you.”

”Master, take care.”

Then, Chen Jie led his own horse over and personally helped Doctor Bai onto the horse.

Doctor Bai’s body was now much better. Having taken Chen Jie’s Tai Sui Pill, he felt like he had rejuvenated by twenty years, thus not feeling much of anything.

He smiled and said to Chen Jie, ”Don’t worry, this old fellow isn’t so frail. Oh, right, Ah Zhong!”

Doctor Bai, riding the horse, called out for Wu Zhong, who came over and said, ”Father-in-law.”

Doctor Bai said, ”Go back and tell Lan’er that I’ll be back in a few days. She shouldn’t worry during these days.”

”Yes, father-in-law, take care.”

Doctor Bai, hearing this, laughed freely and said, ”Don’t make it sound like a life-or-death farewell. We’re heading off now. Giddy up!”

Doctor Bai took the lead on his horse, and the guards immediately followed, riding together with him.

Watching these people’s backs, Elder Liu said, ”This time, Mr. Bai really went through a lot of trouble.”

Chen Jie said, ”Guild Leader Liu, let’s not talk about this for now. We should first take Young Master Liu Song back to the city. The dew is heavy in the wilderness, which could worsen his condition.”

”Yes!”

With that, a group of people headed directly back, while those brought by Elder Liu were responsible for the following arrangements.

Liu Song was then placed on a cart for transport back, while on another cart, Tang Ziyue lay there.

Chen Jie and Elder Liu thus led people and walked back to the city.

Only at daybreak did the group hurriedly return to the city, where Ba Tian from the city’s south already had people waiting for news. Ba Tian had also not slept all night, always waiting for the news from this side.

Just as the sky began to lighten, a scout rushed into the Fishing Guild Headquarters.

”Gang Leader, Gang Leader...”

The voice was loud, calling out for the Gang Leader.

Ba Tian heard the voice, suddenly sat up from his chair, and then let the scout come in to report.

The scout entered, bowed with a fist, and reported the information he had gathered.

Ba Tian immediately jumped up and exclaimed, ”What, Elder Liu and Chen Jiusi entering the city together, chatting and laughing?”

”Absolutely true, I saw it with my own eyes.”

”How is this possible!”

Ba Tian’s face showed shock. Did my plan fail?
