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

Chapter 1348: Chapter 311: Witch Clan Forbidden Land, Another Master?

Upon finishing the arrangements, King Qi immediately set out for Feng Family Village.

Meanwhile, on another path, Ni Wenjun anxiously exclaimed: ”Old Peng, it’s not good, King Qi has secretly set a trap, sending a Molten Furnace march commander to hunt down my virtuous brother, Jiu Si!”

Peng Yingyu frowned and said: ”How long have they been running?”

Ni Wenjun replied: ”About 15 minutes before you stopped.”

Peng Yingyu said: ”15 minutes, they should have run quite far by now, Old Ni, what do you mean?”

”Please help me oversee the army, I’ll go after them.”

Ni Wenjun declared, and Peng Yingyu hesitated briefly before intending to agree. At that moment, Zhao Pusheng spoke: ”The army cannot be leaderless for a day. I understand the urgency in saving Brother Chen Jiusi, with the deep bond between the Left General and Chen Jiusi, it’s understandable that rescuing him is a priority.”

Zhao Pusheng continued: ”I support General Ni in going to rescue him. Regarding the army, I’ll manage it temporarily. Once either the Great General or the General of Eastern Expedition returns, we can hand the army back over to the generals, what do you think?”

Ni Wenjun remained silent upon hearing this, and Xu Shouhui said: ”Yes, I support General Zhao taking over the Left Army’s command.”

”General Ni, your bond with the General of Eastern Expedition is deep; rescuing them is the most important thing!”

Xu Shouhui appeared kind-hearted, but who didn’t know his and Zhao Pusheng’s intentions. Initially, they looked down on Ni Wenjun’s Left Army, considering it insignificant amidst the Five Rivers, yet today’s battle awakened them. The Left Army was far more formidable than they had imagined!

Todays’ Left Army beat the Grey Wolf Army with the Single Line Formation, earning fame in one battle. After this battle, the soldiers of the Left Army were all seasoned veterans who’ve seen combat, no longer the inexperienced personnel they once were. The Left Army’s value soared.

The two had been contemplating what excuse could allow them to seize control of the Left Army.

Now, hasn’t the excuse arrived?

Ni Wenjun and Chen Jiusi are close comrades, but now that Chen Jiusi is being hunted, would you really not intervene? If you don’t intervene, are you truly comrades?

But if you do intervene, well, that’s good, then you hand over the command of the Left Army to us temporarily. If we manage the Left Army, what role do you or Chen Jiusi have in the future?

It truly is heaven-sent, a perfect excuse.

Xu Shouhui and Zhao Pusheng were overjoyed, feeling that fate favored them, just when they were considering how to seize control of the armies, such opportunity arose?

How delightful!

Thinking thus, they both watched Ni Wenjun, who hesitated.

Xu Shouhui then signaled to the eunuch behind him.

The eunuch served a peculiar purpose that Xu Shouhui discovered over time; they could say things Xu couldn’t openly express.

Upon seeing Xu Shouhui’s signal, the eunuch immediately understood.

The voice dripped with sarcasm as the eunuch said: ”Oh dear, it’s said that the Great General and the General of Eastern Expedition share a deep bond, yet, who’d have thought that in the end, the Great General is unwilling to give up even a bit of command, abandoning his brother!”

”What the hell are you saying!”

Upon hearing those sarcastic words, Ni Wenjun’s eyes widened in an instant, glaring fiercely at the eunuch who spoke.

The eunuch continued sarcastically: ”Didn’t I speak the truth?”

Hearing the eunuch’s accursed tone, Ni Wenjun immediately erupted in anger: ”You’re looking for death!”

He raised his fist to strike, but Xu Shouhui suddenly shouted sternly: ”Bold! You filthy creature, do you think you can speak ill of the Great General and the General of Eastern Expedition?”

”Ah, spare me, Your Majesty, spare me!”

Terrified, the eunuch knelt and kowtowed, prompting Xu Shouhui to angrily kick him to the ground.

”Ouch~”

The eunuch cried out in pain, clutching his chest.

Xu Shouhui berated: ”You scoundrel, who doesn’t know of the Great General, a person renowned for his loyalty, sacrificing his brother’s life for mere command, you must be blind as a dog.”

”You wretched dog, I’ll kick you to death.”

Xu Shouhui said as he kicked the eunuch, who immediately covered his head, saying: ”Your Majesty, I was wrong, I know my mistake!”

Hearing the eunuch’s pleading, Xu Shouhui demanded: ”Don’t apologize to me, apologize to the Great General, hurry, apologize!”

Upon hearing this, the eunuch began to cry out: ”Great General, I was wrong, Great General, I was wrong, please forgive this castrated servant...”

Ni Wenjun’s personality, thoroughly studied by Xu Shouhui, revels in face and loyalty.

In Xu Shouhui’s eyes, such a person is easily manipulated.

Moreover, Xu Shouhui and the eunuch colluded. Xu Shouhui realized that revealing one’s physical defects would prevent the other from pursuing vengeance.

The eunuch understood Xu Shouhui’s words, thus he revealed his physical shortcomings directly.

Leaving Ni Wenjun constrained from seeking accountability, perhaps taking a few kicks from Xu Shouhui, but afterward, he’d be generously rewarded. Who isn’t interested in money?

Therefore, eunuchs were keen on performing such dirty and strenuous tasks.
