Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 1846 - 431: Shaolin Temple and Zhu Chongba (Part 3)

"And you?"

"I am also loyal and devoted, but I’ve been with my lord for a short ti and haven’t expressed it yet. My lord needs to slowly discover my loyalty."

Chen Jie looked at Hu Weiyong, who was bowing his head, and said, "Hu Weiyong, you are a clever man. You know what to do. I can only give you one sentence: as long as you do not disappoint , I will give you whatever you desire."

"I dare to risk my life for it."

Hu Weiyong imdiately wanted to kneel, but Chen Jie grabbed him and said, "No need, just have it in your heart."

Hu Weiyong was filled with awe and fear, and Chen Jie then looked at Si Xi standing beside Hu Weiyong and said, "Brother Si Xi, I know your thoughts. Although your talents are not as good as Hu Weiyong, you are soone who does things properly. We can rely on Hu Weiyong for state matters; he shouldn’t cause trouble."

Si Xi said, "Yes, I understand my lord."

Chen Jie patted his shoulder and said, "We’re old brothers, no need to be so formal."

Following this, Chen Jie continued down and approached Shen Wansan, the money bag of the entire Huangzhou Prefecture, also known as the richest man in Jiangnan.

Chen Jie looked at Shen Wansan and said, "Brother Wan San, what do you think of the developnt of Huangzhou Prefecture?"

Shen Wansan said, "It already has the style of a dragon coiled and a tiger crouched."

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Whether it’s a dragon coiled or a tiger crouched, I don’t know, but I know the operation of the entire Huangzhou Prefecture cannot be separated from Brother Wan San. So Brother Wan San must strive hard. As long as Huangzhou Prefecture succeeds, I will fulfill my promises to you, Brother Wan San."

Shen Wansan said, "I am already very satisfied now."

Chen Jie said, "No, you can be even more satisfied."

After saying this, Chen Jie patted his shoulder and said, "Let’s forge ahead courageously and hope to carve out a different path in this world."

Shen Wansan looked at Chen Jie, wanting to speak but hesitating, and Chen Jie said to him, "It seems, Brother Wan San, you have sothing more to say?"

Shen Wansan said, "My lord, we rchants are of low status. Helping my lord achieve great things, we will certainly give our all, but if in the future things succeed, I fear others may ’kill the donkey when the grinding is done.’

Chen Jie listened and looked at Shen Wansan and said, "Brother Wan San, I’ve told you what you can do, and what you can’t do, you just shouldn’t do it. As long as you don’t cross the line, we are lord and subject; I will ensure your glory and wealth with power in hand."

Shen Wansan looked at Chen Jie and said, "Okay, then I trust my lord."

Chen Jie looked at him and said, "Throughout history, rulers killed subordinates for fear of the subordinate’s achievents overshadowing the ruler. But our Huangzhou Prefecture need not fear this. Not to boast, I, Chen Jiusi, advance so rapidly that you may not be able to keep up with . Then it might be my achievents overshadowing yours!"

"So put your minds at ease, work hard, and the future world is yours."

After saying this, Chen Jie smiled and glanced at Jin Yanzi and said, "Jin Yanzi, you and I need not say more. As the only female marshal of the Four Armies and one of our Huangzhou Prefecture’s two Molten Furnace Realm experts, the burden on you is heavy, and the criticism you face will certainly be nurous, so you must work hard."

Jin Yanzi, dressed in military attire, looked at Chen Jie and clasped her fist, saying, "My lord, rest assured. I know what to do. I will certainly tell them that won can be no less than n. I have achieved my success not through anyone’s charity."

Chen Jie looked at her and said, "Haha, that’s the spirit I want; with you like this, I can rest assured."

After saying this, Chen Jie looked down again; below were the countless others he could not say goodbye to individually, so he clasped his fists and said, "Everyone, as I head to the Great Capital, the affairs of Huangzhou Prefecture are entrusted to you."

Upon hearing this, everyone clasped their fists and said, "We understand, my lord, rest assured."

Chen Jie nodded, then turned and walked back. He reached his horse, and Du Xiong handed over the reins. Chen Jie took the reins, mounted the horse.

Seeing Chen Jie mount the horse, the Commandery Princess and others also mounted. Sitting on horseback, Chen Jie solemnly clasped his fists and said to everyone, "Everyone, I entrust Huangzhou Prefecture to you."

"My lord, have a smooth journey."

With those words, the group rode off, heading straight for the Great Capital.

The Great Capital is in the north. This journey will take them north through Henan, Shandong, and into Hebei, finally entering the Great Capital.

Chen Jie and the others, after a day and night, arrived in Henan territory, which is governed by Prince Luo, and also ho to the world’s foremost temple, the Shaolin Sect, leader of the Six Great Sects.

Entering Henan, Chen Jie saw many Shaolin Disciples, and also many Shaolin’s lay disciples, coming and going.

Clearly, Henan has already beco the foundation of Shaolin, and Chen Jie also saw many disciples of the Zoroastrian Sect, identifiable by the red turbans on them.

And they walked openly in the streets, occasionally with the court’s people passing by, yet when seeing these Red Turban Army, there was no reaction.

Even these Red Turban Army walked openly, fearing not the court’s official army at all.

Chen Jie found this highly unusual; Henan’s Red Turban Army was too arrogant. Since ancient tis, thieves shouldn’t be bold against soldiers.

"Waiter, two pounds of lamb and five leavened flatbreads."

Two Red Turban Army soldiers entered a food shop, shouting, while not far from them, two governnt officials in governnt officer’s uniforms sat watching as the Red Turban Army entered the shop without reacting.

Such situations are rare in other places, as one side are thieves while the other are soldiers; where are there soldiers who ignore thieves?

Yet here it was commonplace. Chen Jie found it amusing, and having traveled a long way, he was very hungry.

So he said to Zhao Ya and the others, "Let’s stop here for a bit to rest, eat sothing, and then continue on our journey."
