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

Chapter 1008: Chapter 251: Zhao Ya: 94, Save Me

So, on one hand, you help Zhao Ya, win and get Huangzhou Prefecture, but the threat is the Zoroastrian Sect’s revenge.

On the other hand, you become a lackey for the Zoroastrian Sect. If you win, you’re a small leader; if you lose, you’re cannon fodder, crushed by the full might of the court.

The last option is to pretend to be neutral, and then both forces see you as a thorn in their side and unite to destroy you.

In the struggle between the two great forces, you want to remain neutral.

The Four Great Sects and the Four Dragons and Eight Tigers of Huangzhou Prefecture faced that fate; they were exterminated before the war even began!

So, it seems like Chen Jie has a choice, but in reality, there is no choice at all. Every path is a dead end. To survive, he must save himself. In this chaotic world, no one can escape!

Thus, Chen Jie stayed on the frontline with the people of the Fishing Guild for three days until Elder Quan and others completely abandoned this ruinous place, the former Huangzhou Prefecture Headquarters of the Zoroastrian Sect.

Only then did Chen Jie choose to leave, for this battle of Huangzhou Prefecture was nearing its decisive phase.

When it came time to divide the spoils, Chen Jie had to appear.

So when Zhou Chu returned once more, Chen Jie chose to leave this place first. It was almost impossible for it to be discovered again, and even if it were, apart from Elder Quan or Han Miaozhen finding it, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

Zhou Chu was able to handle it, because upon his return this time, Zhou Chu had reached the Wolf Smoke Realm and mastered the ”Fish-Dragon Three Changes,” his strength comparable to the former Zhou Feng.

Zhou Chu was responsible for the dispatch work here.

In fact, he was just picking up where others left off. Chen Jie had seven rising talents of the Jing Generation form the grain transport group, and they excelled, handling their tasks with great diligence and efficiency.

Chen Jie was very satisfied and called them to his presence.

”Greetings, Gang Leader!”

The seven saluted Chen Jie, who looked at them and smiled, ”No need for formalities. These past few days, you’ve all done very well, and I have high hopes for you.”

”I’ll be leaving in the coming days. Temporary Guild Leader Zhou is responsible for the matters here. You should be familiar with Guild Leader Zhou.”

”You must also work hard. I won’t treat you poorly. Once matters here are settled, your Guild Leader Zhou will be promoted to Temporary Guild Leader of the Huangzhou Prefecture Fishing Guild Headquarters, and if you perform well enough, there are the positions of Branch Guild Leaders for the seven counties, excluding Mianshui, of Huangzhou Prefecture waiting for you...”

Upon hearing this, the seven’s eyes immediately lit up.

My goodness, a Branch Guild Leader?

At this moment, they saw a big, round pie, and its aroma was irresistibly tempting.

Chen Jie was learning how to be a good leader, and the greatest quality of a good leader is to paint a bright future.

Being able to paint a bright future motivates your subordinates to work earnestly for you. It is an incredibly excellent quality and a skill that any boss must possess.

Clearly, these seven were enticed by Chen Jie’s big promises. Although Chen Jie hadn’t given them any tangible rewards, they were already savoring the imagined delights.

Chen Jie was very pleased with the performance of the seven. He stood up and gave a few instructions to Zhou Chu, while the seven no longer needed tasks to be assigned; their initiative had been triggered. The position of a county’s Branch Guild Leader was such a strong lure.

You must know, that position is equivalent to that of former Nan Batian, the once Chen Jiusi, and now Zhou Chu!

They had witnessed firsthand the power of that position.

Thus, each of them drove themselves hard, striving to accomplish more and never slacking off.

Watching the energetic and industrious Jing Generation members striving to earn merits, Zhou Chu said, ”Gang Leader, it’s really you. They’ve become so competent at their tasks just three days after following you.”

”When they followed me, they weren’t like this.”

Chen Jie patted Zhou Chu on the shoulder and said, ”You, you need to learn to give young people opportunities.”

Zhou Chu smiled and nodded, ”Gang Leader, when should I go to Huangzhou Prefecture? I haven’t seen Hu Zi in quite some time; I really miss him.”

Chen Jie said, ”Wait for my message, within a month.”

After saying this, Zhou Chu immediately agreed and continued overseeing the transportation of grain by the crowd.

Chen Jie walked down the small path, heading straight towards Huangzhou Prefecture.

By this time, the entire Huangzhou Prefecture had completely shifted from defense to offense, reversing the roles of attack and defense.

When Chen Jie arrived in Huangzhou Prefecture, he found that the defenders were Ah Da and two others.

The three were very pleased to see Chen Jie and said, ”Jiu Si, you’re back. Nicely done!”

Chen Jie laughed and said, ”I was just lucky, lucky. If they hadn’t been lax in their guarding, I wouldn’t have been able to burn their grain so easily.”

The three said, ”Haha, no matter what, Jiu Si, you really made a great contribution this time. Prepare for promotion and reward!”

Chen Jie waved his hand and said, ”What promotion, what reward, this is all due to the Commandery Princess’ guidance; I’m just following her orders and wouldn’t dare claim the credit!”

Ah Da and his brothers were satisfied with Chen Jie’s humility, understanding that accomplishments come from leadership, and with such awareness, a promotion was well deserved.

”By the way, where are the Commandery Princess and the others?”

Upon hearing this, Ah Da said, ”Oh, the Commandery Princess and the others went to the frontline to eliminate bandits. By the way, she said that if you’re looking for her, you should go to the frontline. Chen Xiaohu and others are all at the frontline.”

Chen Jie nodded upon hearing this and said, ”Okay, then I’ll go to the frontline and report the situation to the Commandery Princess!”

With this in mind, Chen Jie headed straight to the frontline.

The frontline was the sixth defensive line located by Mianshui, and at this moment, in front of the sixth defensive line.

The Turtle and Crane duo arrived at the front line, looking at Han Miaozhen, they said, ”Haha, Devil Woman, your time is up. Why don’t you surrender?”
