Chapter 1183 - 282: Chen Jie: Yaya, Will You Marry Me?

Thinking of this, Elder Xie’s mouth curled upward.

He remembered a small maneuver he employed upon his return under Zhang Shicheng’s guidance, a maneuver sufficient to take Chen Jiusi’s life!

Thinking this way, Elder Xie regained his confidence, hmph, let’s see how you die!

With this thought, a scene unfolded at the frontlines: the Ruyang King looked at Mother Gu and said, "Thank you for your advice, Mother Gu. But since you advised me, let me advise you as well: not only can traitors emerge from your Miao Territory, the Han people are even more prone to treachery, with many deceitful and faithless individuals. Mother Gu, you must discern carefully and avoid being tricked!"

Hearing this, Mother Gu looked at the Ruyang King and said, "Oh, what do you mean by that?"

The Ruyang King said, "Hehe, since Mother Gu is interested in discussing this matter, let me tell you, does anyone named Chen Jiusi reside in your cave?"

Mother Gu was taken aback and looked at the Ruyang King, saying, "Indeed, there is such a person. What does the Prince mean by this?"

The Ruyang King smiled and said, "This Chen Jiusi is not a good person. Initially, he served my daughter’s retinue, but upon arriving at your Miao Village, he became a lackey of your village, helping you plan strategies and harming my daughter. Such faithless individuals are far more hateful than your Elder Xie."

Hmm?

Mother Gu was stunned by the Ruyang King’s words, squinting as she looked at the Ruyang King, asking, "Prince, why say such a person has become a lackey of my Miao Village."

The Ruyang King said, "Hehe, fine, I won’t argue with you. Li Chunhua, we both know that prolonging this dispute benefits neither of our sides. My request is not unreasonable: bring out my daughter, and I’ll withdraw the army. Why do you delay bringing out my daughter, or is it that my daughter has been harmed, and you can’t deliver her?"

Mother Gu replied, "There’s absolutely no such thing, the Commandery Princess is safe and sound in the cave."

The Ruyang King said, "Then bring her out."

Mother Gu replied, "Prince, today is not possible, but perhaps tomorrow?"

The Ruyang King asked, "Why only tomorrow, what’s wrong with today? Just what underhanded dealings are you hiding!"

Mother Gu said, "Prince, some matters I can’t discuss, tomorrow, at dawn, I’ll deliver a perfectly unharmed Commandery Princess to the Prince, the Prince will withdraw his army, and we’ll leave each other in peace, is that agreeable?"

The Ruyang King considered Mother Gu for a moment and said, "Fine, I won’t press you too hard, Li Chunhua, remember, if there’s any issue with my daughter, I won’t let it rest with your Miao Territory."

Mother Gu clasped her fists in respect, ready to leave, but the Ruyang King interrupted, "By the way, when you return, tell Chen Jiusi something."

Mother Gu paused and asked, "Why is the Prince fixated on this person?"

The Ruyang King said, "Mother Gu knows well, tell him not to let me see him outside of Miao Territory, or I’ll have him sliced to pieces!"

Mother Gu slightly frowned, then quickly clasped her fists and said, "I understand, see you tomorrow!"

Mother Gu entered the cave, while the Ruyang King’s gaze turned grim upon the cave, secretly vowing to himself that once he captures Chen Jiusi, he will slice him to pieces.

As for why the Ruyang King hates Chen Jie so much, that’s naturally due to Zhang Shicheng’s influence.

Going back in time, Elder Xie, after slapping his own cheeks, emerged cowardly, spat upon in the cave, looking utterly dejected, like a stray dog. It was then that he saw someone; yes, it was Zhang Shicheng who had been waiting outside for a long time.

Seeing Elder Xie in such a state, Zhang Shicheng said, "Elder Xie, what’s happened to you?"

Elder Xie, upon seeing Zhang Shicheng, initially wanted to dodge, as his current state wasn’t presentable, but Zhang Shicheng approached him, saying, "Elder, we’re familiar with each other, there’s nothing you need to hide from me!"

Listening to this, Elder Xie recounted the incident, with a bitter face.

Zhang Shicheng chuckled and said, "Elder, this was just a side chance, if you succeeded, it’d be a profit; if not, nothing lost. Didn’t you complete the Ruyang King’s task?"

Elder Xie said, "But, I can’t stomach this humiliation. If not for Chen Jiusi’s unexpected actions, I wouldn’t have suffered such disgrace!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shicheng said, "Indeed, this Chen Jiusi is formidable, managing to disrupt your plans in such circumstances. Truly a major adversary!"

Elder Xie said, "I now wish to devour his flesh and peel his skin!"

Zhang Shicheng considered Elder Xie’s words and said, "Oh, Elder Xie, you truly hate him this much. If that’s the case, I have a little trick that could assist Elder Xie, just a small favor."

Elder Xie, upon hearing this, looked at Zhang Shicheng and said, "Mr. Zhang, please tell."

Zhang Shicheng smiled and said, "You simply need to do this, like this..."

Moments later, in the Divine Temple, the Ruyang Royal Mansion looked at the muddy and disheveled Elder Xie and asked, "Why are you in such a sorry state, did the people of Miao Village bully you?"

Elder Xie replied, "This, well, not exactly, everything started smoothly initially, just in the middle a Han person named Chen Jiusi..."

"Who!"

Upon hearing this name, Wang Baobao and Ah San, standing behind the Ruyang King, widened their eyes!

"Chen Jiusi, has Chen Jiusi allied with the Five Poison Sect?"

The Ruyang King, noting their excitement, said, "Who is this Chen Jiusi?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao said, "Chen Jiusi is the Han person Yaya values the most!"

Hmm!

Hearing this, the Ruyang King’s brow furrowed instantly, then he looked at Elder Xie and said, "Tell me how Chen Jiusi troubled you."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xie said, "When I went to the Five Poison Sect, although they all despise me, considering I’m the Prince’s man, they didn’t dare treat me poorly. When I asked them to release the Commandery Princess, they hesitated."
