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

Upon hearing these words, Peng Yingyu nodded gently. Seeing Peng Yingyu speak with Liu Futong this way, Fang Guozhen was truly curious.

”What kind of person is this Chen Jiusi really, to make you all so fascinated? No, I must see what kind of saint this Chen Jiusi truly is today.”

Upon hearing these words, Peng Yingyu stood up and said, ”Yes, we have been here for a while, it’s time to see my brother.”

”He is also my brother.”

Liu Futong directly spoke up, and upon hearing these words, Fang Guozhen said, ”You all wait, I will also certainly recognize him as my brother.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Futong and Peng Yingyu looked at Fang Guozhen in surprise, because Fang Guozhen used to be their mutual brother with Han Shantong.

They couldn’t help but think of Han Shantong, this already mythologized old friend.

As the three talked, they saw Duozhi Fox return from rescuing the injured and counting the numbers.

At this moment, he held the casualty report in his hand, his face extremely grave.

Seeing Duozhi Fox like this, Liu Futong said, ”How is it, are the casualties severe?”

Upon hearing these words, Duozhi Fox handed the report to Liu Futong. Liu Futong just glanced at it, and his entire body stiffened, his expression extremely unpleasant, while Peng Yingyu behind him also took a glance, and promptly remained silent.

Fang Guozhen reached out, and Liu Futong handed the report to Fang Guozhen, only to see it stated that the total casualties exceeded twenty thousand people.

Casualties exceeded half.

To know that the entire Zoroastrian Sect’s troops guarding Bright Peak were only over forty thousand, such casualties were truly heart-wrenching!

The crowd thought this way, and Peng Yingyu said, ”If we want reform, there must inevitably be bloodshed and sacrifice. Our brothers will not die in vain; they will bless us in Buddha Country.”

Fang Guozhen also spoke, ”They are all valiant; they did not disgrace us.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Futong took a deep breath. He was not a sentimental person. Although the casualties this time were rather high, he was still not overly saddened to lose his reason. It is said that the path to success is paved with bones; over the years, Liu Futong’s subordinates who died or were wounded were numerous.

He was thus because, among the casualties this time, many soldiers from the Five Elements Flag, highly valued by the Zoroastrian Sect, had died, which made him feel especially heart-wrenching.

Thinking of this, Liu Futong composed himself and said to Duozhi Fox, ”Treat the wounded. Regardless of the amount of medicine or cost, save our brothers, do you hear?”

Upon these words, Duozhi Fox said, ”Understood.”

”Also, regarding the compensation, prepare it. Allocate from the storeroom, do not let the families of these warriors be let down, don’t let them shed blood and tears.”

Duozhi Fox said, ”Yes, I understand.”

After saying this, Liu Futong said, ”Then I’m leaving the forthcoming matters to you, while I, Peng Venerable, and Dharma King Fang go to Bright Peak to see the Little Ming King.”

Upon these words, Duozhi Fox said, ”Yes, Venerable, I have something I wish to say to you.”

Liu Futong paused and looked at Duozhi Fox, saying, ”What do you want to say?”

Upon hearing this, Duozhi Fox immediately knelt on the ground and said, ”Venerable, I have betrayed the Holy Sect and colluded with Du Zun, my sins are countless, I plead for the Venerable to enforce the rules and punish me!”

Seeing Duozhi Fox kneel on the ground, Liu Futong furrowed his brow and promptly said, ”Stand up; although you appear to be betraying the sect, you did not specifically implement it. Moreover, you performed well in the battle at Wangchuan Pass today, contributing to the Holy Sect; your merits have offset the faults, thus I won’t pursue it further.”

”Ah, thank you, Venerable!”

Duozhi Fox wasn’t one to pretend, seeing Liu Futong not truly intending to punish him, he immediately complied, thus escaping a calamity and overcoming the hurdle in his heart.

Watching Duozhi Fox run off, Fang Guozhen said, ”Little Fox is good, just likes to play sly tricks, not a big issue.”

Upon hearing Fang Guozhen’s words, Liu Futong said, ”Hmm, he’s alright. Okay, let’s go see the Little Ming King and see Old Han’s son.”

Upon hearing this, Peng Yingyu and Fang Guozhen nodded immediately, then directly headed toward Bright Peak. As the three walked, Fang Guozhen expressed some sentimental musings, ”We used to practice martial arts here back then.”

”Back then, we used to drink here!”

For a moment, countless memories filled their hearts, the three were filled with deep emotion.

While lamenting, they saw Fang Zheng, Lei Ming, and Fang Susu come down from the mountain, coincidentally encountering the three of them.

Seeing these three appear together, Lei Ming, this old Zoroastrian Sect member, was stunned, rubbed his eyes, somewhat in disbelief; he had not expected to see these three appear together one day, thirty years, thirty years without seeing such a scene.

Especially Lei Ming; back then, he was a minor officer under the three of them.

Thinking of this, Lei Ming immediately knelt on one knee and said, ”Subordinate Lei Ming, paying respects to Venerable, Dragon King.”

Seeing Lei Ming, Liu Futong and Peng Yingyu both wore smiles; they were all old brothers.

Thinking, Liu Futong said, ”Thunder Tiger, Elder Hu now has a great reputation!”

Upon hearing Liu Futong’s words, Lei Ming immediately lowered his head, Peng Yingyu said, ”Old Liu, your words sound small-minded; they are all old brothers, don’t scare him.”

After saying this, Peng Yingyu looked at Lei Ming and said, ”Get up, let’s not be so formal.”

”Yes, Venerable.”

Lei Ming stood up, quite excited, while Fang Guozhen waved his hand and said, ”Ah Zheng, Susu, come meet your two uncles.”

Upon hearing this, Fang Zheng and Fang Susu immediately stepped forward, following closely by bowing to Liu Futong and Peng Yingyu and said, ”Fang Zheng and Susu greet the two uncles.”

Liu Futong and Peng Yingyu exchanged a glance and looked at Fang Guozhen and said, ”Why are you suddenly doing this? We didn’t bring any gifts for meeting.”

Hearing this, Fang Guozhen said, ”That’s not my concern, it would be embarrassing if the two uncles didn’t bring gifts when meeting.”

Seeing Fang Guozhen like this, Peng Yingyu said, ”Haha, fortunately, the monk came prepared.”

Finally, Monk Peng gave out a few small items, while Liu Futong, feeling awkward, had no choice but to agree to teach them two sets of martial arts after the matter was finished!

”By the way, how did you come down the mountain, where is the Little Ming King?”

Fang Guozhen asked the three of them, and they immediately spoke about how they encountered the Six Great Sects, and how they were rescued by Chen Jiusi. When talking about Chen Jiusi single-handedly fighting against the Six Major Sects, Fang Susu was particularly excited.

Fang Guozhen, looking surprised, said, ”I didn’t expect there really are such extraordinary people in this world. I definitely want to meet this Chen Jiusi now!”

As he spoke, Fang Guozhen said, ”Let’s go, let’s hurry.”

Under Fang Guozhen’s urging, the group sped towards the Ming King Hall, and soon they arrived, only to find the Ming King Hall in a state of wreck, but no sign of anyone around.

At this moment, Liu Futong said, ”They should be in the secret passage.”

After hearing this, the group arrived at the entrance of the secret passage, finding it tightly shut. The group exchanged glances, unable to open it, only able to stand there helplessly.

Liu Futong said, ”We can’t just stand here doing nothing!”

Fang Guozhen looked at him and said, ”Do you know the Qiankun Great Method?”

Liu Futong said, ”How could I know the Qiankun Great Method, but we can’t just be on guard here either!”

It was Peng Yingyu who said, ”If there’s no other way, leave it to me.”

At this moment, Peng Yingyu steadied his posture, then gathered his breath in his Dantian, and shouted towards the secret passage, ”Brother Jiusi!”

Brother Jiusi~

The voice traveled straight down the passage entrance.

Inside the secret passage, the families of the Zoroastrian Sect were all settled in various refuge caves, huddled together, their expressions showing panic, with anxiety in everyone’s hearts, as if all had claustrophobia.

So many people crowded in such a dark passage is indeed frightening, with many children crying, but their mothers holding them tightly, not allowing them to make any noise.

Thus, the group maintained a silence.

At this time, Chen Jie was standing at the entrance of the secret passage, with his ear pressed against the floor, hearing footsteps approaching the passage entrance.

Chen Jie immediately made a gesture for silence.

Shh!

”Someone’s coming.”

Upon hearing Chen Jie’s words, everyone in the place held their breath, each feeling their heart thumping wildly in their chest, all eyes nervously watching the ceiling, fearing court soldiers broke in.

What about their men? Were they killed on the battlefield?

How could this be!

Everyone stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, extremely terrified, afraid that any sound might attract the enemy to come in and massacre them, despite believing the enemy couldn’t open the secret passage.

Just when everyone was on edge, a voice suddenly came from outside.

”Brother Jiusi, it’s me, Peng Yingyu!”

”Hmm? Brother Peng!”

Upon hearing this call, Chen Jie was stunned for a moment, carefully distinguishing the voice.

”Brother Jiusi.”

”It’s really Brother Peng!”

Chen Jie’s eyes lit up, and beside him, Han Ling’er and Liu Caidie also exclaimed in surprise, ”Peng Venerable!”
