Chapter 1269 - 297: Chen Jiu 4: Yaya, I Will Definitely Come Back for You

"Chen Jiusi!"

Chen Jie had actually been waiting outside for a long time, only entering when the situation inside became extremely critical.

This was actually a little strategy of Chen Jie’s.

It’s said: Rescue when it’s urgent!

If the situation isn’t urgent, and you try to rescue someone, they might not appreciate it.

Just like in the beginning, if they had just sneaked out from the storage house of the government and Chen Jie hurriedly went to rescue them, would they appreciate him?

At that time, their lives weren’t at risk. Coming out on their own would just be ordinary assistance, possibly seen as duty, helping each other.

The potential benefit of this gratitude wouldn’t be maximized.

But intervening now is completely different. Now, stepping in is saving lives, becoming a life-saving benefactor.

How could anyone not feel the weight of such a favor?

This was Chen Jie’s cleverness. Hence, after Chen Jie arrived at the government office, he immediately found a place to hide, observing everything until Zhang Shicheng gave the order to fire arrows, putting everyone at the brink of death.

Chen Jiusi’s sudden intervention would forge a gratitude hard to forget. Who could ignore such a favor?

Indeed, the moment Chen Jie stepped in, he attracted everyone’s attention—not only Zhang Shicheng, but also the barely alive Zhu Yuanzhang and others on the ground.

At this moment, seeing Chen Jie was like seeing a life-saving straw.

"Chen Jiusi!"

Everyone looked at the descending Chen Jie, appearing like a deity.

Chen Jie, now wearing official clothes of the government, smiled and addressed everyone in the field, "What are you doing here, making such a commotion?"

Hearing this, Zhang Shicheng’s face turned cold, "Chen Jiusi, what are you doing here?"

Chen Jie tidied his official clothes and said, "You’re asking me? Can’t you see I’m the Commander of this government office?"

Zhang Shicheng replied, "Since you are the Commander, why are you stopping us from killing these Jianghu rebels!"

Chen Jie responded, "Hmm, Jianghu rebels? Where are these Jianghu rebels? These are my Jianghu friends, who I invited to the government office as guests. I never expected you all to come here wanting to kill them. Whose orders are you claiming to act under?"

Elder Xie, enraged by Chen Jie’s words, retorted, "Chen Jiusi, stop spouting nonsense here. We follow the Prince’s orders to capture these Jianghu criminals."

"Nonsense!"

Chen Jie immediately said, "What kind of person is the Prince? He cares deeply about Jianghu comrades. Obtaining a treasure like Wu Mu’s Legacy, he plans to hold a treasure book conference, inviting Jianghu comrades to appreciate the book’s marvels. Today, he placed the book in our government office precisely to facilitate borrowing by Jianghu comrades."

"And yet, you all disregarded the Prince’s orders, ignored his instructions, and came here on your own to trouble Jianghu comrades. If someone saw this, they might think it was the Prince’s fault."

"As the Prince’s personally appointed Director of Military Affairs, I won’t let you act recklessly, ruining the Prince’s glorious reputation in Jianghu."

"Why don’t you apologize immediately, take your people, and get out of my government office?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shicheng, Elder Xie, and the Lingnan Three Ghosts were all bewildered. What was Chen Jiusi up to?

Even Zhu Yuanzhang and others lying on the ground were perplexed. Since when did the Ruyang King become so friendly with Jianghu people?

Thinking this, Chen Jie approached the Jianghu people, still looking quite angry, and said, "You all are really outrageous, look at how you’ve injured my Jianghu friends!"

"Chen Jiusi!"

As Chen Jiusi walked in front of these people, Zhang Shicheng frowned and said, "Stop right there!"

Chen Jie halted, looked at Zhang Shicheng, and asked, "What’s the matter?"

Zhang Shicheng warned, "Think carefully. If you save them, you oppose the Prince. There will be consequences for you."

Chen Jie responded, "Consequences? I think it’s you who will face consequences. You dare to attack the Prince’s guests? You must be incredibly bold!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shicheng said, "Chen Jiusi, I didn’t want to harm you, but if you remain so stubborn, we’ll have no choice but to let you accompany your Jianghu friends to the end."

Chen Jie, with a smile, replied, "Zhang Shicheng, is that not what you wanted all along?"

Zhang Shicheng replied, "Alright, if that’s the case, we won’t hold back. We know you’re strong, but look closely, we have five Dragon Realm experts here. Do you think you alone can save them?"

Elder Xie interrupted, "Why waste words with him? Let’s all attack at once. Capture him first; it’s the perfect chance to avenge my grudge."

With that, Elder Xie struck at Chen Jie with his palm.

Seeing Elder Xie’s eagerness to capture him, Chen Jie frowned slightly, a hint of mockery in his eyes. The next moment, he raised his hand, delivering his most formidable palm strike [Shocking Hundred Miles].

A dragon’s roar reverberated through the space, forcing Elder Xie to retreat.

Elder Xie, taking a step back, looked to Zhang Shicheng, "Why aren’t you moving?"

Zhang Shicheng stayed silent, and Elder Xie turned to the Lingnan Three Ghosts behind him, "Why aren’t you moving either?"

The Lingnan Three Ghosts replied, "The Prince ordered us to follow Mr. Zhang."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xie was furious but helpless. Meanwhile, Chen Jie chuckled and said, "See, why do you always disobey?"
