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

Chapter 1038: Chapter 256: Huangzhou Prefecture Is Mine Now (Part 3)

Everyone turned to look at the guard in unison upon hearing this, only to see the guard mentioning Chen Jiusi with a peculiar smile on his face.

Wang Baobao saw this and said: ”Why are you laughing?”

In response, the guard spoke: ”General, Chen Jiusi, Chen Jiusi came to our mansion sitting in a flower sedan meant for women!”

”What?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, and Wang Baobao said in surprise: ”How could he arrive in a flower sedan?”

The guard replied: ”People say it was because we summoned him too urgently, the Chen Residence didn’t have time to hitch a carriage, and Chen Jiusi couldn’t ride a horse, so he casually took a woman’s flower sedan to come here.”

”Haha, this Chen Jiusi is really amusing, it seems he must be truly injured, unable to ride a horse, otherwise why would he use a woman’s flower sedan, truly a disgrace to the Martial Artist’s reputation!”

He Yishou shook his head with a mocking smile upon hearing this.

He Yishou also shook his head with a smile and said to Wang Baobao: ”Young Prince, it seems you were overthinking. For someone as dignified as Chen Jiusi, he wouldn’t resort to riding a woman’s sedan unless absolutely necessary, indicating he is indeed injured!”

Zhao Ya noticed this and said: ”Third brother, I told you, Chen Jiusi wouldn’t feign illness.”

Wang Baobao, upon hearing his companions, also subtly shifted his thoughts. A man in this world values his reputation most, and if not seriously ill, who would willingly ride a woman’s sedan.

After all, he wouldn’t want to, he wouldn’t want to suffer this humiliation.

In reflection, if he wouldn’t want to, surely the other party wouldn’t either.

So he chuckled and said: ”Looks like I overthought it, this Chen Jiusi is just like that, let him in.”

As Wang Baobao spoke, his face bore a mocking smile, firstly mocking Chen Jie as just that, and secondly mocking himself for taking a mere bear for a true hero.

Thinking like this, Chen Jie entered the room with Xiao Hu’s support.

”Cough cough... Your humble servant Chen Jiusi, pays respects to Lord Darugachi, to the Commandery Princess, to the two Masters.”

Chen Jie bowed with great difficulty.

Seeing Chen Jie’s pale face, Zhao Ya said: ”Jiusi, are you alright?”

Chen Jie looked weak and said: ”Hehe, thank you for your care, Commandery Princess, I’m much better now, cough cough cough... It’s just this congestion in my chest, unbearable, cough, cough cough...”

Seeing Chen Jie in such a state, He Yishou nearby said: ”Yesterday I examined Jiusi’s body, it should be that his pulmonary meridian is injured, with more care, he should be able to recover.”

At this moment, Gui Yannian said: ”Jiusi, I heard that today you came to the Darugachi Mansion in a flower sedan, how amusing, haha...”

Chen Jie heard this and smiled bitterly: ”Master Gui is joking, today was rushed, had no time to prepare a carriage at home, just as my wife’s sedan was parked in the yard, I borrowed it for use, truly ashamed, ashamed indeed!”

Upon hearing this, everyone laughed together: ”Haha... Jiusi coming to participate in this meeting while ill wasn’t easy at all.”

With everyone’s consolation, watching them laugh at him, Chen Jie also carried a hint of a smile, as long as they laughed, looked down on him, he considered himself successful.

Back then, Zhuge Liang sent Sima Yi a set of floral clothes to provoke him into battle, mocking Sima Yi as an old woman.

And Sima Yi, didn’t he also accept it with a smile, even wearing those clothes to the front line, which angered Zhuge Liang so much he vomited three liters of blood, and was defeated and withdrew.

So, a man in the world, while reputation is important, in times of survival, it can be put forth to confuse the enemy, making them underestimate oneself.

Chen Jie felt he had achieved his purpose.

Indeed, Wang Baobao spoke: ”Alright, everyone, now that Jiusi is here we can discuss some serious matters.”

Hearing this, Chen Jie was taken aback and said: ”Lord, has something else happened?”

Wang Baobao hesitated for a moment and said: ”Jiusi, I’ve just received an order from the court, commanding me, Yaya, and Masters Turtle and Crane, to head north immediately to assist in the Central Plains campaign.”

”Ah, Commandery Princess, Lord Darugachi, are you all leaving?”

Chen Jie asked with a face full of surprise, Wang Baobao replied: ”Yes, we are leaving.”

After hearing this, Chen Jie said: ”What, what should I do, Huangzhou Prefecture has just settled major matters, and needs you all to oversee the situation. With you leaving, it will only be me left, what shall I do?”

”How about, Lord Darugachi, I go north with you as well?”

”Cough cough... Although my health is failing, I am willing to do my utmost for you, Lord, to contribute my feeble strength.”

Chen Jie suggested, hoping to go north with them.

Upon hearing Chen Jie’s words, Wang Baobao hesitated, furrowing his brows and said to Chen Jie: ”Jiusi, I understand your feelings, but Huangzhou Prefecture must have a trustworthy person to manage affairs.”

”Yaya and I have important tasks, and Masters Turtle and Crane aren’t skilled in governance, so after thinking it through, this responsibility can only fall to you, Jiusi.”

”So Jiusi, you must shoulder this responsibility, do not let us down.”

Chen Jie, hearing this, appeared frightened and said: ”Lord, I’m afraid I cannot bear this responsibility!”

Wang Baobao said: ”Jiusi, you can do it, Yaya strongly recommended you to me, and I also believe you can shoulder this responsibility, who else if not you, so I entrust Huangzhou Prefecture to you.”

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said: ”Commandery Princess, I...”

Zhao Ya replied: ”Chen Jiusi, you definitely can do it...”

Chen Jie, with a troubled face, said: ”Ah... then, then I can only reluctantly accept, but please, Lord, remember Huangzhou Prefecture, I, Chen Jiusi, am striving hard, and once the northern campaign ends, quickly return to help me.”
