Chapter 1588: Chapter 854: Taboo Forest! New Rules!

Countdown 36:00:00.

“Gentlemen, is there any issue with cooperation?” The Fifth Princess sat in the commanding seat, looking down at Qing Chen and He Jinqiu: “Although you’ve just met each other today and aren’t familiar, I still hope you can work together and assist Marquis Bolton well. He’s my husband, and as long as he’s well, I’ll be happy. When I’m happy, only then can you be happy.”

Qing Chen said, “He is very cooperative with me. We just reorganized the reconnaissance camp, which is crucial to protecting the Marquis.”

The Princess nodded, her main concern was that He Jinqiu would disregard the ‘Housekeeper’ due to his strong capabilities.

She thought for a moment, then dismissed her subordinates from the command room before saying, “Even though the ‘Housekeeper’ has a low rank, don’t underestimate him. Previously, when Bolton investigated corruption at the forward base and resisted a giant attack, it was actually all thanks to the Housekeeper.”

“Oh?” He Jinqiu raised an eyebrow.

The Princess continued, “The corruption investigation was resolved overnight when he used thunderous means to gather all evidence.”

He Jinqiu: “And the giant invasion?”

The Princess smiled, “That’s because he rearranged the airship docking positions in advance, giving the A-Class Airships a chance to ascend. Also, he captured those six giants alive.”

At this point, even the Princess felt confused, as the identity of this ‘Housekeeper’ remained suspicious. If he was indeed a rebel, why would he have reorganized the forward base back then? If he hadn’t, Bolton would already be dead by now.

Could I have misunderstood him?

She couldn’t quite figure it out for now, but it didn’t matter; she’d already instructed He to closely watch the ‘Housekeeper’, and He would report his every move to her.

However, He Jinqiu’s feelings were entirely different…

Because, on that night, the person who contacted Wild Wind to raid Forward Base No. 9 was him!

Initially trying to get close to the Fifth Princess, He Jinqiu found himself instead assigned to assist Marquis Bolton. He didn’t have much time to waste, so he ruthlessly joined forces with the Giant Dynasty, planning to directly send Marquis Bolton on his way.

In doing so, he could stay by the Fifth Princess’s side to continue seeking what he wanted.

Yet, what seemed a surefire raid nearly resulted in Wild Wind almost not making it back to the Taboo Forest. Wild Wind returned, raging that they suffered heavy losses, saying the forward base layout had been temporarily changed.

At that time, He Jinqiu was puzzled, who disrupted his plans?

Now, He Jinqiu had finally found the culprit!

He looked at Qing Chen with a smile, “I will certainly cooperate well with the ‘Housekeeper’; what he has done fills me with admiration.”

So, it was you, kid, who ruined my plans!

At this moment, Qing Chen truly did not know he had already crossed paths with Boss He.

But he had seen this expression on He Jinqiu before!

Every time Boss He wore this expression, it meant he was scheming!

His heart chilled; what happened? Did he somehow offend Boss He? Could it be that Boss He fancied the Fifth Princess, and thus disliked anyone near her?

At this point, the airship had already landed at the Third Division’s base, and the Fifth Princess said to He Jinqiu, “He, please go first and ensure Marquis Bolton’s safe disembarkation; I have two words to say to the ‘Housekeeper’.”

After He Jinqiu left, the Fifth Princess quietly said, “I have a task for you, observe He closely; I want to know his true intentions.”

Qing Chen thought, the Fifth Princess probably gave He Jinqiu a similar task.

So, you really found the right person for this…

Theoretically speaking, if the Third Division has either Qing Chen or He Jinqiu, things would be problematic, yet they ended up having both of them together.

Of course, Qing Chen wasn’t aware that the Fifth Princess instructed He Jinqiu to monitor him as well, describing this ‘Housekeeper’ as extremely perverse, and if he incited chaos within the military, action must be taken to stop him…

As for how perverse, nearly every slave who encountered the ‘Housekeeper’ claimed he was perverse.

At this moment, the Fifth Princess suddenly said to Qing Chen, “Ensure Bolton returns safely, and I will grant you a life of wealth and glory, along with a Taboo.”

Qing Chen smiled and said, “Protecting Marquis Bolton is my duty.”

…

…

As he escorted Marquis Bolton off the airship, the former commander of the Third Division had already left for a report, leaving his chief of staff to liaise with Bolton.

In times of war, everything is executed swiftly and simply.

The Fifth Princess’s airship departed; she had her own matters to attend to.

Bolton looked at the filthy base and thought it was not as comfortable as the forward base, regretting his achievements.

Qing Chen, trying to secure his main asset, then put his arm around He Jinqiu’s shoulder and cheerfully said, “He, once we enter the Taboo Land, we’ll be relying on you, with Marquis Bolton and my lack of strength.”

He Jinqiu recalled the rumors the Princess mentioned, and silently removed Qing Chen’s right hand with a smile, “Rest assured, absolutely.”

At this moment, Boss He had already begun calculating silently how to use a borrowed knife to kill Qing Chen…

It seems the Crimson Blood Team holds a grudge against this ‘Housekeeper’? An opportunity must be created for them.

The Third Division’s chief of staff eagerly looked at Marquis Bolton, “Commander, the soldiers have assembled and are waiting for your speech.”

Bolton cleared his throat and delivered a lengthy speech, the script provided by Qing Chen.

However, the soldiers of the Third Division had no interest in listening, all knowing that they were destined to meet their fate.
