Chapter 1208 - 286: Damn, Zhu Yuanzhang?

Upon hearing this, the two people standing next to the sturdy man furtively glanced at their big brother, but remained silent.

Chen Jie was keen-eyed and immediately noticed the two men’s unnatural behavior.

At this moment, the sturdy man roared with laughter, saying: "When Guo Zixing was my father, he wasn’t even considered a hero, so what kind of hero is Zhu Chongba? Not at all, not at all, hahaha..."

Chen Jie listened to this and looked at the sturdy man, saying: "Oh, it seems these two individuals really aren’t very famous."

With that, Chen Jie continued: "By the way, may I ask for your distinguished name, brother?"

"No problem, no problem, Niu Ba."

The sturdy man directly gave himself a name, and Chen Jie lightly nodded and said: "Then what about these two brothers?"

The sturdy man said: "Oh, these two are my brothers, this is Niu Jiu, and this is Niu Shi."

Upon hearing this, the two sturdy men nodded and said: "Yes, yes, we are Niu Jiu and Niu Shi."

Hearing this, Chen Jie inwardly chuckled, having basically confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

Niu Ba.

Chen Jie smiled, thinking what does Niu Ba mean, combining Niu (bull) and Ba (eight), isn’t that Zhu?

Unexpectedly, it’s really the person I was thinking of.

Zhu Chongba, huh, I never thought I’d run into him in such a small place, truly the rivers and lakes are narrow.

Thinking this, and Zhu Chongba clasped his fist and said: "May I ask for your respected surname and name, brother?"

Chen Jie said: "Oh, oh, no problem, no problem, I am Nan Batian!"

Pfft...

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hu nearly choked, coughing desperately, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hu and said: "Right, this is my brother, Nan Liu, and this is Nan Qi."

Chen Jie pointed to Xiao Hu and Hu Weiyong as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Chongba’s face immediately broke into a hearty smile: "Haha, it’s a pleasure to meet you, three brothers."

However, Zhu Chongba thought to himself that Nan Batian, Nan Liu, and Nan Qi clearly sound like fake names.

Chen Jie also laughed heartily: "Haha, it’s a pleasure to meet you too."

The two exchanged courtesies and then began to chat casually. As they chatted, Chen Jie asked: "Brother Niu Ba, what brings you to Longxing Prefecture?"

Upon hearing this, Niu Ba was taken aback and looked at Chen Jie saying: "Brother Nan, you don’t know about the big event in Longxing Prefecture?"

Chen Jie said: "Oh, I haven’t heard about it."

At this point, Zhu Chongba said: "Then your information is quite outdated, we came here for Marshal Yue’s Wu Mu’s Legacy from the previous dynasty."

"Hmm, Wu Mu’s Legacy?"

Chen Jie feigned an expression of confusion and asked, hearing this, Zhu Chongba said: "Yes, Wu Mu’s Legacy, the military book left behind by Marshal Yue of the previous dynasty before his death, we, and the rest of these Jianghu people are all here for this."

Chen Jie said: "So do you know the whereabouts of Wu Mu’s Legacy?"

Zhu Chongba said: "Of course, it’s in the hands of the Ruyang King, how could we not know."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said: "Ruyang King? Such a treasure book in the hands of the court, it should be kept secret, how could it be so well known?"

Zhu Chongba said: "I don’t know about that either, but now it has spread throughout the entire Jianghu."

"What has spread?"

Chen Jie has been following the Ruyang King recently, so his information is outdated.

Zhu Chongba said: "Brother doesn’t know?"

Chen Jie said: "I don’t know!"

Zhu Chongba said: "Supreme Martial Arts, the treasure book Wu Mu, commands the world, none dare disobey!"

"Now everyone in Jianghu says that whoever obtains this treasure book obtains the world!"

Zhu Chongba pointed to the people present and said: "Look, they are all here for this treasure book."

Chen Jie responded: "Even in Marshal Yue’s time, he didn’t obtain the world, now everyone fights for a book, and they can obtain the world?"

"Why don’t I believe this?"

Hearing this, the Niu Shi next to Zhu Chongba spoke up: "That’s because Marshal Yue was loyal, if it were a treacherous minister with Marshal Yue’s capabilities, the Zhao Song dynasty would have been replaced long ago, how could there be today’s fragmented nation, with Han people enslaved by the Mulan people?"

"Third Brother."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave a light cough at this point, then looked at Chen Jie and said: "It seems the three brothers are hearing this for the first time, may I ask where the three brothers are employed? And what brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie was just about to respond when suddenly there was the sound of footsteps, and Ah San appeared.

Seeing Chen Jie, he said: "Brother Jiu Si, I’ve been looking for you for half a day, you were here all along, quickly come with me, my lord is looking for you!"

Ah San, seeing the many people around, did not say the term "Commandery Princess" and used "lord" instead.

Hearing this, Chen Jie stood up and bowed to Zhu Chongba, saying: "I have some matters to attend to, so I must leave first, perhaps we will have another chance to meet in the future!"

Zhu Chongba said: "Then until we meet again."

Saying this, Chen Jie left the shop with Xiao Hu and Hu Weiyong. At this point, Chen Jie looked at Ah San and said: "What’s the matter that you were so urgently looking for me?"

Ah San said: "It’s the Prince looking for you, the Commandery Princess couldn’t find you, so sent me to quickly find you, it seems to be about something regarding Wu Mu’s Legacy."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie silently noted: It’s happening!

So we’re really going to play Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, huh.

Thinking this, Ah San said: "Alright, Jiu Si, stop asking, just hurry up and follow me, don’t keep the Prince waiting."

Chen Jie said: "Okay, I’ll come with you right away."

Saying this, the group walked away.

Back in the room, where Chen Jie had been sitting earlier, the pale-faced scholar looked at Zhu Chongba and asked: "Big brother, what are you looking at?"

Zhu Chongba was watching the departing Chen Jie and said: "Looking at this Nan Batian."

The leopard-headed, ring-eyed guy next to him asked: "What’s so interesting about him."

Zhu Chongba said: "I don’t know why, but seeing this person gives me a feeling of mutual appreciation, I suppose we’ll meet again soon."

Hearing this, the leopard-headed, ring-eyed guy shook his head and said: "Well, if we meet, we meet, let’s fill our bellies first, shopkeeper, bring three more bowls of noodles!"

"Coming right up!"
