Chapter 1197: Chapter 284: Gaining the Divine Technique, Reunion with an Old Friend

Jie heard this and immediately laughed: ”Mr. Zhang, you must have misunderstood something.”

Zhang Shicheng looked at Jie and said: ”What do you mean?”

Jie said: ”Mr. Zhang, you haven’t told the Prince that I learned the ’Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique,’ and I haven’t told the Prince that you learned the ’Jiuli Demon Technique.’

Zhang Shicheng’s face suddenly turned gloomy, but he quickly recovered and looked at Jie, saying: ”Brother Chen, doesn’t this give us a foundation for cooperation?”

”Indeed!”

Jie also showed a broad smile.

To cooperate, there must be shared interests, or else each must hold leverage over the other.

Jie knows the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique, and Zhang Shicheng knows the Jiuli Demon Technique.

Both are part of the Three Divine Skills of the Human Emperor, and if the Ruyang King found out, there would be consequences, so the two formed a basis for cooperation instantly.

At this moment, Jie looked at Zhang Shicheng and said: ”Pleasure working with you.”

Zhang Shicheng also smiled broadly and said: ”Pleasure working with you.”

The two exchanged glances, both smiling like sly foxes.

Zhang Shicheng said: ”I have other matters to attend to, I shall take my leave.”

Jie said: ”I won’t see you out!”

The two bid farewell with smiles, Zhang Shicheng turned around, and his face instantly turned gloomy.

This Chen Jiusi is really not easy to deal with. I originally wanted to use his knowledge of the Four Seasons Celestial Phenomenon Technique to threaten him, but unexpectedly, this kid turned the tables on me, well played.

Both were wary of each other, and my scheme was completely thwarted.

And as Jie watched Zhang Shicheng leave, his brow furrowed too.

This Zhang Shicheng is truly cunning, even trying to blackmail me, but he even handed the fake Wu Mu’s Legacy to the Ruyang King.

And the Ruyang King actually kept it as if it were genuine, clearly setting up a scheme. Moreover, Jie felt that the likelihood was great that this ”Wu Mu’s Legacy” was meant to incite Jianghu disputes!

Thinking of this, Jie shook his head, for the moment this matter had little to do with him.

He should mind the things he ought to mind himself.

With this in mind, Jie entered the courtyard, where the boards had mostly been completed.

At this moment, Jie looked at Ah Da and Ah Er in the courtyard and said: ”Brothers, are you okay?”

Ah Da and Ah Er’s butts were already injured, clenching their teeth, they said: ”Thank you for your concern, brothers, it’s nothing, just flesh wounds, a few days are enough to recover.”

Jie said: ”Then let me escort you to your residence.”

With that, Jie, along with Zhao Ya and Ah San, escorted the two back to recuperate, and throughout the process, Jie never looked at Elder Xie, who was similarly beaten and scarred but went unaddressed.

Elder Xie gritted his teeth and glared resentfully at the departing Chen Jiusi: ”You wait, Chen Jiusi!”

Jie didn’t refrain from addressing Elder Xie because he didn’t want to but because he couldn’t. If it were his usual approach, Jie would have already beheaded him to eliminate future troubles. But now his situation was special, being in the Ruyang Royal Mansion, many things couldn’t be done.

Therefore, he could only feign ignorance, first hiding himself, and then dealing with others.

This has always been Jie’s principle.

”Lord Shen Tu.”

Just when Elder Xie was left unattended in his bloody state, a guard suddenly arrived, saying: ”It’s the Prince who sent me.”

Elder Xie frowned at the guard and said: ”What orders does the Prince have?”

The guard said: ”The Prince asked me to prepare golden sore medicine for the Lord. Besides, a Warming Room Girl has been arranged in Elder Xie’s room. She can help apply the medicine. Also, the Prince asked me to pass a message to the Lord.”

Elder Xie looked at the guard and said: ”What message?”

The guard said: ”The Prince says: the Lord has made a mistake and must be punished for it. Otherwise, he can’t convince the public. The Prince has his troubles and hopes that Lord Shen Tu can understand!”

Upon hearing this, Elder Xie inexplicably felt a bit empathetic towards the Ruyang King.

He was unexpectedly in a damned way commiserating with the Ruyang King.

He said: ”Please go back and report to the Prince that this is the fault of Shen Tu, and it will never happen again!”

The guard said: ”Yes, I will certainly convey the Lord’s words.”

Meanwhile, Jie was helping Ah Da and the others back to the room, and in the exchange, Jie learned an important piece of information, that Xiao Hu and his group were in the Ruyang King’s big prison.

It turns out that the situation was like this: Xiao Hu and the others found a way at that quarry to find Ah Da and Ah Er, then agreed on an uprising time together.

So that day they started the uprising, and who would have thought that just after escaping the quarry, they were met with the White Deer Army.

Then all these Jianghu people were captured by the Ruyang King.

They became prisoners.

Ah Da and Ah Er met Wang Baobao and said that Xiao Hu and his group were under Chen Jiusi, there to rescue them, and they were supposed to be released.

Who could have anticipated, Elder Xie returned claiming that Jie worked for the Mother Gu, so Wang Baobao immediately considered Xiao Hu and his group co-conspirators of rebels, directly imprisoning them in the Death Prison, stating that once Chen Jiusi was caught, they would be sent down with him.

Jie heard this and looked at Zhao Ya: ”Commandery Princess.”

Zhao Ya said: ”Hmm, I got it, just take my note and get the people from the jail, no one will stop you.”

Upon hearing this, Jie immediately cupped his fists and said: ”Thank you, Commandery Princess.”

After speaking, Jie directly took the note into the jail. The jailers, upon seeing the Commandery Princess’s note, didn’t dare to delay, and someone went to report to Wang Baobao. Wang Baobao said: ”Did the Commandery Princess accompany him to the dungeon?”

Someone replied: ”No, only Jie took the note of the Commandery Princess.”

Wang Baobao heard this and said: ”Oh, then it’s fine, release them.”

If Zhao Ya had accompanied Jie to the dungeon to retrieve people, it would have appeared too close, one must be cautious. But simply taking a note to retrieve people, that’s not a problem.
