Chapter 1511 - 344: Chen Jiusi Tricks His Father-in-law with Clever Words

Gurgle...

Tuomu’s head gurgled as it rolled to the feet of Chen Jiusi, leaving Chen Jie in shock.

He looked at Tuomu, who couldn’t die with his eyes closed.

Chen Jiusi was also bewildered. What’s going on?

Why did Wang Baobao suddenly betray us?

Not just Chen Jiusi; everyone present was stunned by the scene, for it all happened in a flash.

The crowd around couldn’t react, staring foolishly at Wang Baobao in the field, the rolling head, and the headless corpse that fell to the ground.

It was pin-drop silence.

The scene fell into a brief silence, and after quite a while, everyone was still unable to react.

At this moment, Wang Baobao sheathed his treasure sword and raised his hand, saying, "Cease fire!"

His words resonated with Gang Qi, and instantly everyone in the field heard Wang Baobao’s command. The White Deer Army under Wang Baobao immediately obeyed and stopped fighting.

Seeing the White Deer Army halt, Wu Daojun turned to Chen Jie, who raised his hand and quickly stopped the actions of the Vermilion Bird Guard, both sides ending the hostilities.

Chen Jie glanced at Wang Baobao and said, "What do you mean?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao didn’t say anything else but turned and cleared the way, saying, "You may leave. I’ll pretend I didn’t see you today."

Chen Jie was stunned upon hearing this, looking at Wang Baobao in confusion, "You’re letting us go?"

Wang Baobao said, "Go."

Chen Jie squinted and said, "Thank you very much then."

Chen Jiusi was never indecisive, so he directly stepped away.

However, before getting far, Wang Baobao spoke, "Wait a moment."

Chen Jie stopped and looked at Wang Baobao, "Changed your mind?"

Wang Baobao said, "A true man acts without regret."

"Chen Jiusi!"

Wang Baobao called out Chen Jie’s name, looking solemn, "Do not let Yaya down; she sacrificed everything for you."

Chen Jie remained silent at these words, then solemnly turned and clasped his fists towards Wang Baobao, "Rest assured."

Wang Baobao nodded slightly. Between men, words are often unnecessary.

And promises often require few words.

Wang Baobao then waved his hand, "Make way for them."

As soon as these words were out, the White Deer Army immediately split their formation, giving Chen Jie and the others a way out.

Chen Jie said nothing, while Wang Baobao watched him leave and said, "Chen Jiusi, next time we meet, I won’t hold back!"

"Neither will I!"

Chen Jie waved goodbye.

Having said that, Chen Jiusi directly led the Vermilion Bird Guard away. Watching Chen Jiusi leave swaggeringly, Huo Bima rode up to Wang Baobao and asked, "You’re letting them go just like that?"

Wang Baobao said, "Otherwise, should I really strike him down here?"

Huo Bima said, "Then how will you explain it to the court, and should we pursue the Commandery Princess or not?"

With these words, Wang Baobao said, "What chase? That cursed fellow’s words reminded me."

"Yaya has eloped, and this news can’t be concealed. To the Royal Family, Yaya’s behavior represents disobedience and infidelity. Even if we catch her,"

"the court wouldn’t let her become the Empress anymore, and truly as he said, if Yaya is sent back to the Imperial Palace, she’d be locked in the Cold Palace, or even become a slave."

"So I can’t catch Yaya now; otherwise, I’d be hurting her."

Wang Baobao said.

"And without catching Yaya, she can’t stay at our Ruyang Royal Mansion. The only place she can go is to Chen Jiusi, so I can’t kill Chen Jiusi either. Otherwise, who would Yaya rely on?"

He spoke, feeling a bit frustrated, "I really can’t understand. What’s so good about Chen Jiusi that Yaya even refuses to be the nation’s queen, choosing to elope?"

"Now I can only pray that Chen Jiusi returns safely to his territory."

Looking at Wang Baobao’s helpless expression.

Huo Bima looked at Wang Baobao and said, "And what about this fellow?"

"He’s an imperial envoy from the court, dead here; do we not need to provide an explanation?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao glanced at Huo Bima and said, "The bandit Chen Jiusi, with one slash, killed him. Didn’t you see?"

Huo Bima was stunned, and then quickly responded, "Lord, the wound on his back is too obvious; it’s clearly the work of someone on our side?"

Wang Baobao glanced at Huo Bima, saying, "The bandit Chen Jiusi, ruthless in nature, after killing, even burned the corpse in rage. When we arrived, the imperial envoy Lord Tuomu was already burned to ashes!"

Huo Bima’s eyes lit up at these words, "Understood, my lord."

Wang Baobao said, "Order that today’s events must not be disclosed. Even to the Prince, maintain silence, got it?"

Upon these words, Huo Bima said, "It’s already been ordered."

Speaking to this point, Huo Bima said, "By the way, Lord, there’s something I need to tell you."

Wang Baobao looked at Huo Bima, and Huo Bima said, "The Commandery Princess’s elopement, the Prince is aware."

Wang Baobao said, "Hmm, how could my father know, being a thousand miles away?"

Huo Bima replied, "Lord, the Prince went to Anqing Prefecture for bandit suppression."

"Anqing Prefecture? Suppressing bandits?"

Wang Baobao looked bewildered, "What formidable bandits in Anqing Prefecture warrant the Prince’s personal action?"

Huo Bima’s expression was strange, "Reportedly, he’s suppressing the thousand great bandits at Chicken Head Mountain in Anqing Prefecture."

"A thousand, and great bandits? What’s the level of their leader?"

Upon hearing this, Huo Bima was somewhat embarrassed, "Wolf-Wolf Smoke Realm!"

Listening to this, Wang Baobao almost burst into laughter. Well, Father, you turn out to be just like this...

Wang Baobao, for a moment, couldn’t think of a fitting word to describe Prince Yang’s actions, for a Melt God Realm personally leading ten thousand elite White Deer Army to besiege a thousand great bandits at Chicken Head Mountain was indeed quite shocking.
