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

Chapter 1071: Chapter 262: What? The Commandery Princess Was Captured by the Five Poison Sect? (Part 2)

Speaking of the Gu God, the Miao bandit leader’s eyes also showed fanaticism, a reverent worship of the deity.

Chen Jie did not respond, instead asking the shopkeeper, ”Where are the people?”

The shopkeeper replied, ”Some have been sent to Wangu Village, and some are locked in the dungeon of my inn.”

Chen Jie said, ”Then take me to see them.”

The shopkeeper sighed, ”Alright.”

Chen Jie stood up, looked at the group of people lying on the ground, then took out several Detoxification Pills and handed them to Yu Chun, saying, ”Help them detoxify.”

Yu Chun took the Detoxification Pills and immediately fed the elixir to the people present.

Quickly, the Jianghu people, who were knocked down by the Soft Muscle Powder, regained consciousness.

At this moment, a disciple from the Jianghu Major Sect immediately brought his junior brothers and sisters over to pay their respects.

”I am Ye Songtao from Huashan, many thanks to the hero for the rescue grace.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Ye Songtao and said, ”Hero Ye is too courteous, I acted only by chance, it’s hardly worth mentioning.”

Ye Songtao then turned and said, ”This is my junior brother, Ye Songxi, and this is junior sister Alian.”

Chen Jie cupped his fist, ”Pleased to meet you two young heroes.”

The two also cupped their fists, ”Thank you, hero, for saving our lives.”

Chen Jie said, ”You two are too polite, helping out fellow Jianghu is nothing significant.”

After saying this, Ye Songtao continued, ”We’ve spoken so much and yet haven’t asked the hero’s sect or name.”

Chen Jie said, ”Oh, I am Chen Jiusi, Guardian of Huangzhou Prefecture.”

”A person from the government?”

Upon hearing Chen Jie reveal his identity, Ye Songtao suddenly frowned, his demeanor not as warm as before.

The same went for Ye Songxi and junior sister Alian.

At this point, their expressions were somewhat complex; they thought he was a Jianghu person, never expecting him to be a court hound.

Alian then turned to look at the bound Miao bandit, with a shout of rage, drawing her treasure sword, ”Jianghu scum, face the sword!”

Unexpectedly, Chen Jie quickly intervened to stop Alian, ”Lady hero, hold on.”

Alian frowned and looked at Chen Jie, ”Why do you stop me?”

Chen Jie said, ”These people are still useful, we can’t kill them!”

”A group of Jianghu scums, what use to keep them, move aside.”

Alian recalled the earlier incident where the Miao bandit leader wanted a group to bully her, and if not for Chen Jiusi’s help, she might have faced the worst situation.

Thinking this way, Alian was furious.

Chen Jie did not let her kill, and seeing Chen Jie was so insistent, Alian had to withdraw her treasure sword.

Turning to Ye Songtao, ”Senior brother, since this official doesn’t let us kill people, let’s not stay here and leave.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Songtao paused briefly, then cupped his fist toward Chen Jie, ”Commander Chen, please forgive us, as my brothers and I carry the mission from our sect, we won’t stay long, farewell.”

After speaking, the three immediately took their swords and left the inn.

Outside, the junior brother looked at junior sister Alian and said, ”Junior sister Alian, you were impulsive just now, although that Commander Chen is a government official, he saved our lives, how could you be so reckless.”

Alian did not respond to this, but Ye Songtao said, ”You should learn from Alian.”

Ye Songxi asked, ”What should I learn from her?”

Alian then smiled and said, ”I did that on purpose just now, silly brother, if I hadn’t acted so stubborn, how could we spoil relations and let senior brother propose leaving early?”

Ye Songxi was puzzled and asked, ”Why leave early? He saved our lives, and we haven’t thanked him yet?”

Ye Songtao said, ”He’s a government person, we should avoid interacting with the government as much as possible, Jianghu and the government are two different paths.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Songxi seemed somewhat understood, while Alian said, ”Listening to the bandit’s words, there are many such black inns along this way, and I don’t know if Uncle Master and the others will face mishaps.”

Saying this, the three walked into the darkness.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie watched the three leave and wasn’t upset, these Great Sect Disciples are like this. If I had said I was the Fishing Guild Gang Leader, they would have thought I was a third-rate Jianghu person, and if they investigated and found out I have an official background, they might even suspect intentional concealment, making both sides dissatisfied.

It’s better to say directly now, I am a court person, if you can accept it, we can be friends; if not, we won’t engage.

It’s as simple as that, it allows one to initially identify who is a friend and who is a foe.

Thinking this way, a scholar carrying a sword not far away came over, thanked Chen Jie, ”Thank you, Lord Guardian, for saving my life.”

He had heard the conversation of those Jianghu people just now, and hurried over upon witnessing it.

Chen Jie glanced at the scholar, admiring his courage; a scholar traveling with a sword, daring to draw his sword first when facing danger, surely not an ordinary person.

Though his martial power was lacking, after all, he was a scholar, he couldn’t be held to a martial artist’s standards.

Chen Jie said to him, ”Just a little help, hardly worth mentioning. May I know your name and what brings you here?”

Upon hearing this, he immediately cupped his fist and said, ”I am Hu Weiyong, styled Zizhong, from Dingyuan County, Fengyang. As for why I’m here, embarrassingly, I was traveling for study in the Xiang Land and saw a Heavenly Fire descend into the mountains, then saw countless people coming here to seize the treasure, curious, I came to take a look, only to nearly be fed with some Gu God!”

Hu Weiyong cupped his fist as he spoke, and Chen Jie was momentarily stunned, who would have thought in such a desolate place, to encounter the future renowned Hu Weiyong, China’s last Prime Minister?
