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

Chapter 1486: Chapter 338: Zhao Ya: Why Do I Feel Like I Saw 94!_3

Wu Daojun led ten thousand Vermilion Bird Guards lurking in the nearby Dabie Mountains, ready to assist at any time.

At this time, Chen Jie and Xiao Hu were sitting in a restaurant. Xiao Hu was somewhat restless, while Chen Jie remained calm. Scouts had already found out that the Commandery Princess would enter the city today, and Chen Jie had decided to rescue her tonight.

As for why to rescue the Commandery Princess inside the city, the reason was simple.

The city was probably the time when the entire army’s defense was most lax. If it were outside the city, Chen Jie would face too many enemies, including over ten thousand White Deer Army who could form military formations.

Yuan Sanjia dared not fight the Ruyang King within the military formation, nor did Chen Jiusi dare to fight the main commander of the White Deer Army backed by military formation.

Moreover, Chen Jie had received intelligence about the Ruyang Royal Mansion’s deployment this time.

This time, the entire escorting army consisted of three and a half Molten Furnace Realm experts.

One was a special envoy from the court, Tuomu, ranked fifth among the Qincha Eight, whose prowess was at the Middle Molten Furnace Realm.

The second was a Western Regions monk ranked sixth on the Earth List, Lord Wuxiang, whose prowess was at the Upper Molten Furnace Realm.

Then the third was likely Wang Baobao. Chen Jie received news that Wang Baobao had obtained a top-level treasure medicine True Essence Pill from the Daqian Court, allowing him to enter the Molten Furnace Realm upon consumption.

Chen Jie conservatively estimated Wang Baobao’s prowess to be between the Lower Molten Furnace Realm and the Middle Molten Furnace Realm, but don’t forget that Wang Baobao hails from the Military Family. If combined with ten thousand elite White Deer Army under his command, Chen Jie felt his prowess would at least be at the Upper Molten Furnace Realm, not to be underestimated.

Lastly, there’s half a person, that’s the Commandery Princess’ two masters, the Turtle and Crane Elders.

When Turtle and Crane exert their power, their prowess can reach the Molten Furnace Realm, counting as half a Molten Furnace.

With such a luxurious lineup, Chen Jie had only himself at the Middle Molten Furnace Realm, while Xiao Hu and Wu Daojun were at the Dragon Realm.

This lineup would crush ordinary small-time robbers, but facing such a formidable escort team, Chen Jie reckoned that if it were truly a battle on the plains, it would be like smashing eggs against rocks.

Therefore, Chen Jie decided to enter the city. Once in the city, the army’s function would be negated, and after entering, local officials might have to engage in some social formalities, dispersing the main forces.

This would increase the likelihood of success.

Xiao Hu at this point gulped down a large mouthful of wine and stood up anxiously, saying, ”Why haven’t they come, haven’t come yet!”

Chen Jie looked at the anxious Xiao Hu and said, ”What’s the rush?”

”Jiu Si, how can you sit still, Sister-in-law is still in the court’s hands!”

Xiao Hu, anxious, paced back and forth. Seeing Xiao Hu like this, Chen Jie said, ”I’m not in a rush, what are you rushing for?”

Xiao Hu said, ”Jiu Si, how can you not be anxious, it’s killing me!”

Chen Jie said, ”Calm down a bit, eat, eat.”

Saying that, his eyes looked out onto the street, his gaze also carried urgency, but the difference between Chen Jie and Xiao Hu was that he could hold it in.

Though he was very anxious at this moment, he showed no signs of it.

He just quietly observed everything outside, his hand repeatedly rubbing the wine glass, indicating his inner turmoil.

Meanwhile, outside the city gate, Feng Bisheng, the Prefect of Lu’an, was also waiting impatiently. It was said they’d arrive at 7 a.m., but it seemed close to noon, yet they still hadn’t arrived.

The September sun was scorching, making Feng Bisheng sweat all over, and the officials following him were also drenched in sweat.

As everyone was waiting, suddenly a government scout soldier ran back, knelt on the ground, and said, ”Lord Magistrate, they’ve come, they’ve come!”

Upon hearing this, Feng Bisheng immediately asked, ”Where, where?”

The scout soldier pointed behind and said, ”Just behind.”

Hearing this, Feng Bisheng immediately turned to look and saw a long convoy appear before him. Upon seeing this convoy, Feng Bisheng immediately waved and said, ”Quick, quickly follow me!”

Saying this, Feng Bisheng directly led a group of people quickly towards the escort convoy.

They soon reached it, and then Feng Bisheng knelt on the ground and said, ”This subject, Feng Bisheng, Prefect of Lu’an, along with all city officials, welcomes the Commandery Princess!”

Hearing these words, the group immediately saluted, ”Welcome, Commandery Princess.”

The sound was loud, instantly alarming Zhao Ya, who cried all night and was somewhat weary. Zhao Ya rubbed her swollen eyes and said, ”Where have we arrived?”

Upon hearing this, the accompanying maid, Qing Zhu, immediately replied, ”Reporting to the Commandery Princess, we have arrived at Lu’an Prefecture.”

”Lu’an?”

Zhao Ya thought for a moment and said, ”Have we arrived here already?”

Here lies equidistant from Longxing Prefecture and Huangzhou Prefecture, Huangzhou Prefecture.

Upon mentioning Huangzhou Prefecture, Zhao Ya fell silent. She thought of that man, since they parted, she has drifted farther away from him, possibly a lifetime’s distance.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya felt secretly saddened.

She wasn’t like this before, back then she was a mighty eagle, free-spirited, confident, and charismatic.

But now she was more like a crippled eagle, hiding in a cage, complaining and self-pitying.

”Commandery Princess, the Prefect of Lu’an requests an audience, will you see him?”

Zhao Ya, in her self-pity, suddenly heard a voice from outside. She looked up, and Qing Zhu drew back the curtain. Outside was Tuomu of the Qincha Eight.

Tuomu, still polite at this point, cupped his hands and requested Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya said, ”No.”

Upon hearing this, Tuomu immediately cupped his hands and said, ”Understood, my lady.”

After speaking, Tuomu rode towards the direction of the Prefect of Lu’an.

At this moment, the coachman, Ah San, suddenly said, ”Commandery Princess.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya said, ”What is it?”

Ah San said, ”We will stay a night in Lu’an Prefecture today, and leave Lu’an tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we will leave the jurisdiction of the Prince, and Anhui’s territory.”
