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

[However, it turns out Left Minister Tuotuo has detained the Ruyang King and sent people to take over the Ruyang Royal Mansion, not sure if it is the court’s intention to weaken the vassals.]

[I am extremely fearful, for we are directly granted hereditary titles by Grand Ancestor to defend the nation, wholeheartedly for the nation, to relieve Your Majesty’s concerns. Should Your Majesty suspect our inclination to harm the nation,]

[please grant us a decree, and we are willing to retire and return to our hometowns, henceforth ignoring Empire affairs.]

[But if not Your Majesty’s intention and is instead the work of vile forces, please punish them severely to ease our minds.]

This is all of King Qi’s memorial, followed by King Qi’s signature and the seal of King Qi, completing the content of the first page.

The second page is the signatures of various kings.

[King Zhe of the Borjigit Clan. Qiyan Timur]

[King Xiang of the Borjigit Clan. Bato Timur]

...

Name after name of Princes, along with the royal seals, covering a full ten pages, unexpectedly so numerous.

Seeing this, Prince Lu looked at Wang Baobao in surprise, ”How did you persuade King Qi?”

Wang Baobao remained silent upon hearing this, he hadn’t persuaded anyone, King Qi authored this Eight Kings’ Biography mainly due to two reasons.

Firstly, King Qi himself perceived danger, such as the recent happenings at Bright Peak where Tuotuo attempted to deceive him into entering the Capital, but Li Siqi was clever enough to flee beforehand.

The other reason was a phrase Chen Jiusi wrote for him.

[When the lips perish, the teeth feel the cold, intent on weakening the vassals.]

A hero of the generation like King Qi surely understands the principle of mutual dependency; if the Ruyang King falls, the next unlucky one is invariably him.

Thus, King Qi voluntarily penned this Eight Kings’ Biography and delivered it swiftly to King Zhe’s hands. By the time Wang Baobao arrived, this Eight Kings’ Biography was already awaiting him.

Wang Baobao merely had to carry this Eight Kings’ Biography, akin to Tang Seng journeying west for scriptures, and approached each person for signatures and seals.

With King Qi leading the charge, not many Princes dared not sign, after all, they were all bound by shared interests; not signing equates to self-expulsion from the vassal king ranks.

No vassal king dared abstain from signing at this crucial time.

Prince Lu then took a deep breath and signed his name.

[Prince Lu of the Borjigit Clan. Liluo Timur.]

He affixed the seal of Prince Lu before Wang Baobao received Prince Lu’s signature, completing the Southern Territory princes’ endorsements, as he rose.

Watching Wang Baobao depart, Prince Lu said, ”Nephew, why not stay and eat before leaving?”

Wang Baobao replied, ”Thank you, Uncle Wang, as for the meal, I shall return with Father and reminisce with Uncle Wang.”

Prince Lu said, ”Very well, I shall eagerly await your triumphant return...”

Wang Baobao paid no mind to the old fox’s thoughts, he exited the mansion and rode directly toward Hebei Road.

He and Chen Jiusi had arranged a meeting at Cangzhou Prefecture.

At this moment, he was eager to meet Chen Jiusi, because the single phrase Chen Jiusi gave to King Qi had been so effective, granting him a newfound respect for Chen Jiusi.

He certainly felt he wouldn’t be able to achieve these deeds in such a short time.

Thus, Wang Baobao rushed tirelessly overnight toward Cangzhou, finally arriving at Cangzhou Prefecture after a day and night.

Upon entering the city, he located the agreed-upon place in Cangzhou Prefecture and met Chen Jie.

”Third Brother!”

Commandery Princess went up to welcome him upon seeing Wang Baobao arrive, weary with travel. She had enjoyed comfort over the last two days in Cangzhou Prefecture, easing her fatigue with good food and drink.

Meanwhile, Chen Jie had been cultivating, striving daily to harmonize body and mind with the universe, achieving a state of forgetting oneself, thereby enhancing his Realm.

At this point, Wang Baobao noticed Zhao Ya with delight and after exchanging a few words, asked, ”Where is Chen Jiusi?”

Zhao Ya replied, ”He is in closed-door training.”

”Training at this time?”

Wang Baobao frowned.

Zhao Ya stated, ”Before closing his training, he mentioned you should ask upon arrival, if you obtained the Eight Kings’ Biography!”
