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

Fang Guozhen and Peng Yingyu both wore solemn expressions upon hearing this, momentarily unsure how to respond. Then Liu Futong spoke up: ”Back then, we swore not to seek to be born on the same day in the same month and year, but to die on the same day in the same month and year. If we cannot achieve that in life and death, can we not even protect his heir?”

”So, Old Peng, Brother Fang, stop trying to persuade me. Today, I can only use my life to exchange for Little Ming King’s life. Even if I die, I cannot go to the underworld to meet Old Han!”

At this, Liu Futong’s face was filled with determination.

Fang Guozhen and Peng Yingyu’s faces were ashen, yet they weren’t sure how to persuade him.

At this moment, Chen Jie spoke up: ”Even if you sacrifice yourself, you won’t save Little Ming King. The other side never intended to rescue Little Ming King.”

Upon hearing these words, Fang Guozhen and Peng Yingyu stared at Chen Jie in surprise: ”What do you mean?”

Chen Jie replied: ”Little Ming King is just a card in his hand. Do you guess why he doesn’t want to, or perhaps dares not, kill Little Ming King now?”

Huh?

Upon hearing this, the two were baffled, exchanging glances without knowing what to say.

At this moment, Chen Jie said: ”He knows Little Ming King’s most significant function is to constrain us. To put it bluntly, those who truly care about Little Ming King are basically us, the Red Turban Army.”

”But if he really kills Little Ming King?”

”We, the Red Turban Army, would seek revenge and completely break with the court. Moreover, with you all here, you are even more the court’s mortal enemies.”

”But if at this moment, my elder brother goes to exchange for Little Ming King?”

”Then it directly breaks the current balance. Right now, elder brother, second brother, and third brother, three Heavenly List Strong People are here, so the court must act cautiously because they don’t have the power to annihilate elder brother, second brother, and third brother all at once.”

”Little Ming King still has an effect in their hands. But if elder brother goes to His death, this delicate balance will be broken, our tripartite form will be shattered, and the court can then break each force one by one.”

”At that time, even if they indeed release Little Ming King, then capture him again, it’s not difficult, is it?”

”And elder brother would die in vain. Is it worth it?”

Upon hearing Chen Jie’s words, everyone fell into deep thought. Indeed, Chen Jiusi made sense. The reason the court dares not directly kill Little Ming King is precisely because these three old men are still there. If they provoke these three old men, the consequences would be severe.

But if Liu Futong dies in battle, it would be a significant loss for them. The court could directly divide and conquer, annihilating their three forces.

This is the real intention of Tuotuo.

Similarly, even if Tuotuo truly keeps his promise and lets Little Ming King go, if Liu Futong dies, the Zoroastrian Sect is severely defeated, there would be no power to resist the court. To put it bluntly, if Tuotuo wants to capture Little Ming King again, it’s not much harder than catching a chick.

Therefore, the value of Little Ming King’s life is to be able to affect Liu Futong. If Liu Futong is fine, then Little Ming King can still live.

If Liu Futong dies, then Little Ming King is doomed!

Understanding the crux of the matter, Peng Yingyu looked at Liu Futong and said: ”Fourth brother is quick-witted and right; if you die, Little Ming King in front of the court is at their mercy. Only if you are fine, the court will act cautiously, not too excessive.”

Fang Guozhen also advised: ”Fourth brother is right; whether Little Ming King can live depends on you, not him!”

Upon these words, Liu Futong realized: ”I see now, I was somewhat confused by the situation!”

Thinking of this, Liu Futong looked at Chen Jie and said: ”So, fourth brother, what should I do now?”

Chen Jie looked at Tuotuo and said: ”The other side clearly has a large army pressing in; a direct confrontation is certainly not in our favor, so I suggest we withdraw first, wait for them to expose weaknesses and then defeat them. This matter is still best planned long-term.”

Having heard these words, Peng Yingyu remarked: ”That’s right, this can’t be rushed. The other side has already seized our lifeline; if we continue to stalemate with them here, we are the ones at a disadvantage. It’s better to retreat and recalibrate our approach.”

”Yes, elder brother, let’s come up with a strategy!”

Fang Guozhen also advised similarly.

Liu Futong nodded slightly. Though his expression still looked displeased, it was evident he agreed with the ideas of the others.

At this moment, Liu Futong thought for a moment and looked at Tuotuo: ”Tuotuo, stop playing tricks; I won’t fall for your scheme. If I go there to die, you certainly won’t spare Little Ming King.”

”So, I won’t go. But if you dare to kill Little Ming King, I, Liu Futong, swear here that I will ensure the extermination of every member of the Meliqi Clan, till none remains!”

After saying this, Liu Futong declared: ”Let’s go.”

With these words, he turned towards the mountain top, completely disregarding the people behind him.

Seeing this scene, not to mention Tuotuo, even Chen Jiusi somewhat admired Liu Futong’s resolve.

At this moment, Tuotuo was left utterly stunned, watching Liu Futong’s distant back, face ashen, unable to subdue him. Truly infuriating!

Thinking this, Tuotuo fiercely grabbed Little Ming King’s hair, saying: ”You useless waste, didn’t you say Liu Futong loves you most? He won’t even exchange his life for yours; is that love?”

Little Ming King, hearing Tuotuo’s words, became somewhat lost and dejected. He hadn’t expected Liu Futong to be so resolute.

At this time, his face was full of dark lines, and deep in his heart, a resentment toward Liu Futong emerged. Why didn’t he use his life to save him, why!?
