Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 284 Chen Jie: Oh, Prince Ruyang, my father-in-law ( words, please subscribe)
"What are you looking at?"

When the voice came, Chen Jie turned around and saw Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya was holding a quilt in her hands at this time. She looked at Chen Jie and said, "Linglong and I can just share one quilt. It's cold outside at night. I'll bring you another quilt."

Chen Jie smiled and said, "Thanks, Yaya!"

Zhao Ya's cheeks flushed slightly, but she did not correct Chen Jie's address. Instead, she changed the subject and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie pointed to Wu Mu's suicide note in his hand and said, "The culprit of this incident!"

Ah!
"Wu Mu's last will?"

Zhao Ya was surprised. How could this book fall into Chen Jie's hands?
Zhao Ya thought about it and turned to look at Chen Jie. Chen Jie patted the stone bench beside him and said, "Sit down and talk."

Zhao Ya heard this and sat down next to Chen Jie. Chen Jie handed Wu Mu's suicide note to Zhao Ya and said, "Take a look."

Zhao Ya took it and started reading. She was immediately surprised by the contents of the book.

This Wu Mu's testament is indeed a strange book, which records a total of ten major formations that have been passed down since ancient times.

In addition, according to the catalog, there are two sets of large formations summarized by Yue Wumu himself.

Yue Wumu was afraid that his book would be discovered by Qin Hui, a lackey of the Jin people hidden in the court, so he split the book into two and had people take them out separately.

However, according to legend, one of the books, the second volume, was discovered by Qin Hui, a lackey at the time.

Qin Hui wanted to destroy the book, but Song Gaozong Zhao Gou finally ordered the book to be sent to the palace, and the book became a royal collection of the Song Dynasty. Later, after the Battle of Yashan, when the great Southern Song Confucian scholar Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea carrying the little emperor on his back, the book completely disappeared from people's sight. No one knows into whose hands this Wu Mu's testament fell and where it is now!

However, the first volume of "Wu Mu's Testament" was circulated in the martial arts world, causing many fights in the martial arts world, and finally fell into the hands of Guo Da Xia, the defender of Xiangyang.

Later, when the city was breached, Wu Mu's posthumous letter disappeared into the martial arts world along with Hero Guo.

But no one expected that it would be obtained by Han Shantong of the Zoroastrianism.

Then it caused the current turmoil in the world.

The first volume of Wu Mu's posthumous writings records the first five of the ten major formations.

They are: Long Snake Formation, Two Dragons Emerging from Water Formation, Heaven and Earth Three Elements Formation, Four Gates Back-up Formation, and Five Tigers and Sheep Formation!

In addition, it is equipped with the first defensive formation created by Marshal Yue: [Yin Yang Bagua Formation! ]

That’s all for the first half.

No wonder, back then, Hero Guo was able to defend the huge Xiangyang City with the first half of Wu Mu's posthumous book! This Yin-Yang Bagua formation played a huge role.

Chen Jie did not hide anything from Zhao Ya. When Zhao Ya wanted to see it, Chen Jie politely handed over the contents of Wu Mu's suicide note to Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie, and we both understood each other. Chen Jiusi did not hide such a treasure from me. It seems that I am more important to him than the "Wu Mu's Testament".

After Zhao Ya took a few glances at it, she returned the book to Chen Jie and said, "It's real."

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya curiously and asked, "How do you know it's true?"

Zhao Ya said: "Because I have seen the Long Snake Formation and the Five Tigers and Sheep Formation here."

Chen Jie was stunned and looked at Zhao Ya and asked, "Have you seen it?"

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "You don't think that this kind of thing is impossible for our Daqian to obtain with our national strength, right?"

"Also, Chen Jiusi, don't think that you can look down on everyone with this formation. Back then, Zhao Song and the thief Guo in Xiangyang all had the help of Wu Mu's posthumous letter, but in the end, they were still destroyed by Daqian, right?"

"My master taught me something."

Chen Jie said, "I would like to hear the details."

"Formations are only the wisdom of military sages, but they do not represent the strongest wisdom. The strength of any military strategy ultimately depends on the strength of the user. Otherwise, even the strongest military strategy will be useless if it falls into the hands of mediocre people."

"For example, Zhao Kuo, one of the representatives of ancient military strategists, was well-versed in the art of war, but didn't he also suffer a crushing defeat?"

"And Ma Su from the Three Kingdoms..."

"besides……"

"Okay, I understand."

After hearing this, Chen Jie begged for mercy. Zhao Ya said, "The same is true for Wu Mu's Last Book. General Yue is powerful, but many of his military strategies are also summarized on the basis of ancient sages. If you want to learn military strategies, you must first learn the military theories. I think the first volume of Wu Mu's Last Book is more important than the second volume."

"Why?"

Chen Jie asked Zhao Ya in confusion. Zhao Ya pointed at the military tactics and said, "Because the first volume contains a lot of General Yue's insights into military tactics, as well as the One Word Long Snake and Two Dragons Emerging from the Water Formation. They are both considered the basics of formations and are easy to learn."

"And according to the catalog, the second volume should contain complicated battle formations, which is suitable for people with a military foundation and a military genius. Otherwise, it will fall into the hands of someone who does not understand the art of war."

"That's useless, so this first volume is enough for a beginner like you. If you can understand the Yin-Yang Bagua Formation, you can defend an isolated city for eighteen years without being broken!"

After hearing this, Chen Jie felt emotional.

"Your master is right. There are no useless formations, only useless people."

"But your master is so powerful, I'd like to meet him if I have a chance."

Zhao Ya said, "He is like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail. It's not easy to see him. But why do you want to see him?"

"I admire you in my heart, and I also want to ask you about the art of war."

Zhao Ya smiled and said, "If you want to learn about the art of war, you can ask me. I can tell you about the Long Snake Formation and the Five Tigers and Sheep Formation."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Thank you very much, Teacher Yaya."

Zhao Ya's face was as serious as an old scholar and she said, "Listen carefully."

"The long snake formation is divided into three parts: the snake head, the snake tail, and the snake gallbladder."

"Strike the snake's head, and its tail will move, and it will be killed by the coiling."

"Strike the snake's tail, and when its head moves, bite and kill it."

"Strike the snake's body, both its head and tail will come together to kill it!"

"Its momentum is like a giant python attacking, its attack is sharp, the cavalry on both wings are the head and tail of the snake, the most important thing is mobility, a single move can affect the entire body..."

Zhao Ya took Wu Mu's suicide note and explained it to Chen Jie on the spot.

Chen Jie had to admit that it was different to have a famous teacher teaching in class. Although Chen Jie had a lot of modern knowledge in his head, it would be extremely difficult for him to understand some of the mysteries of the formation without the guidance of an expert who had learned systematically.

Really, this kind of military book is not easy to understand unless you are a genius.

However, Zhao Ya had been surrounded by famous teachers since she was a child. With the educational resources of the royal palace, there was nothing she didn't know. Therefore, under Zhao Ya's guidance, Chen Jie made rapid progress in studying Wu Mu's Testament.

Chen Jie felt that his current relationship with Zhao Ya was a bit like that of Hero Guo and Madam Huang a hundred years ago.

When the Wu Mu's testament was placed in front of Guo Xia, Guo Xia would probably be confused. Fortunately, there was a Mrs. Huang beside him. Her father was the owner of the Huang Island in the East China Sea. He was well versed in medicine, divination, astrology, Qimen Dunjia, military tactics, and agriculture.

Mrs. Huang, who was the last one to teach, knew so much and was able to help Hero Guo understand Wu Mu's suicide note.

Otherwise, how come Wu Mu's testament has been placed on Iron Palm Peak for so many years and no one has learned it? This is because the military knowledge is completely different from the martial arts. If you don't understand the systematic knowledge, how can you understand the twists and turns in it?

It’s like, if you have never been to elementary school and you are asked to solve an equation directly, wouldn’t you be confused?

Only by learning step by step can you understand the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, what is the unknown number X, how to solve a linear equation of one variable, and then transition to a linear equation of two variables, a linear equation of three variables...

The advanced military strategy is based on linear equations of two or three variables.

If you don't have the previous foundation, even if this book is placed in front of you, you will be completely in the dark.

This is a very simple truth, but people in the martial arts world don't understand it. When they heard about Wu Mu's posthumous letter, many of them thought that if they could get this thing, they would be invincible.

Actually not, you still need guidance from an expert!

This time, Chen Jie met a master, who was also a beauty. Under the hands-on teaching of the beautiful teacher, Chen Jie began to have an understanding of the art of war.

I began to understand some of the terms and military common sense in this book.

Zhao Ya is now equivalent to Mrs. Huang of Mr. Guo, and the two of them began to study Wu Mu's posthumous letter here.

Some of Zhao Ya's ideas are not only her own, many of them are summed up by the palace.

You must know that when Xiangyang City was broken and the Yuan army rushed into the city, they not only stole Guo Juxia's Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms, but also Wu Mu's testament in Guo Juxia's hand.

It is said that Guo Juxia was also afraid that the military book would be destroyed, and from then on the heroes who fought against Qianlong would have no military book to use.

Each formation in the Wu Mu's Testament was once printed separately, and finally sent out by people. Some of them ended up in the world, and some were confiscated by Daqian.

This is why Zhao Ya had seen Wu Mu’s suicide note.

Unfortunately, the original records were not complete. For example, the last best defensive formation in the world, the [Yin Yang Bagua Formation], was never discovered by Daqian.

Zhao Ya and Chen Jie were discussing military strategies outside.

The weather was a bit cold, so Chen Jie draped the quilt over the two of them. Immediately, the heat from their bodies was wrapped up in the thin quilt, and they could hear each other's breathing.

The atmosphere seems very ambiguous...

Meanwhile, inside the house, Linglong looked at the two people outside who were reading under the quilt, and couldn't help but grumble, "After all this, you two are going to live outside, and I'm going to live alone in the house, right?"

Having said that, Linglong wrapped herself in the quilt, returned to the bed, and fell into a deep sleep!
Outside the house, after listening carefully to Zhao Ya's explanation, Chen Jie quickly understood the mystery of this formation. Zhao Ya was very surprised at Chen Jie's talent.

She didn't expect that Chen Jie actually had such a high military talent.

When she had almost finished explaining her knowledge, she asked Chen Jie, "You haven't told me yet, where did you get this Wu Mu's posthumous book?"

Chen Jie did not hide the truth from Zhao Ya and told her directly that he and Zhang Shicheng had gone together to steal Wu Mu's posthumous letter.

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "That's actually the case. You're really bad. You actually replaced Wu Mu's will. I'm afraid that Zhang Shicheng still thinks the Wu Mu's will you gave him is the real thing."

Chen Jie said: "Haha... He is also very bad. He even made a fake one to fool Na Su. You don't know that I almost died of laughter after reading his so-called Wu Mu's suicide note."

Zhao Ya heard this and said, "You two are really the same, both are bad."

Chen Jie said: "Haha, what do you mean by bad? We call this a scheme, but I am just more skilled!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ya laughed and said, "You are one step ahead. Hahahaha... You are so bold to say that. I wonder what Zhang Shicheng's expression would be when he finds out that the book is fake."

Chen Jie said: "It should be very exciting."

The two chatted and laughed, and before they knew it, it was getting dark. Zhao Ya felt a little better and fell asleep on the stone table because she felt a little sleepy.

Looking at the sleeping Zhao Ya, Chen Jie tidied up her temples and his eyes became deep.

Zhao Ya was burdened with a burden that was not appropriate for someone her age.

Chen Jie sighed, turned around and came to the pool of water, where he saw Grandpa Jin standing by the water with his eyes closed, his tail swinging in the golden pool.

Chen Jie looked at Mr. Jin. Mr. Jin opened his eyes and glanced at him, but quickly closed his eyes again, looking bored and not very interested.

A human being, not interesting!
Chen Jie squatted down and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

Just like that, the night passed quietly.

The next morning, Zhao Ya washed up with the help of Linglong. Today was the day she was leaving Miaojiang. She did not want to take revenge on Miaojiang, so she could not make herself too miserable. Otherwise, if her father got angry and started another war, it would be very bad for Zhao Ya. After all, she and Linglong were in such a relationship.

After getting familiar with each other, it’s time to exchange hostages.

At this time, Gu Mu still took Elder Jinchan and Elder Shougong as the lead to go out and talk with King Ruyang.

Prince Ruyang was very grand this time. Not only was Master Wuxiang following him, but also Wang Baobao and He Yishou.

Gui Yannian is not here because the elder was seriously injured. His right leg could not be saved yesterday, so he underwent an amputation surgery and is currently recuperating.

But even so, King Ruyang still wanted to make peace with Gu Mu.

Because he really couldn't afford to delay any longer. The things happening in Jiangnan couldn't be left without him for a few days, not to mention letting him play hide-and-seek with Gu Mother in the deep mountains.

He really can't afford to waste half a year, or even a month.

If a commander like him leaves the center, do you know how terrible things will happen!

Gui Yannian was just a priest in the palace and had to make sacrifices at critical moments. Of course, Gui Yannian could accept this and did not have any other pessimistic attitude.

After all, the world is like this, and it will not change because of one or two people.

In the face of the general trend, unless you are a chess player, everyone else is a chess piece!

At this time, both sides were ready to fight. King Ruyang looked at Gu Mu and said, "Gu Mu, the day has come. Can you return my daughter to me?"

Gu Mu said: "Prince Ruyang, the princess is safe and sound, we can return her, but please withdraw your troops."

King Ruyang said, "Mother Gu, I will withdraw my troops when I see my daughter."

After hearing this, the Gu Mother waved her hand, and then Linglong and Chen Jie came out of the cave, one on each side, surrounding Zhao Ya.

"Yaya!"

"The princess!"

After hearing this, Wang Baobao rode his horse forward, but was stopped by Prince Ruyang.

At this time, King Ruyang asked: "Yaya, are you okay?"

Zhao Ya said at this time: "Father, I am fine. Please withdraw your troops. There is a misunderstanding here!"

Prince Ruyang was stunned. Misunderstanding?

But after thinking about it, he said, "Okay, since it's a misunderstanding, let's talk slowly. Can Gu Mother let him go?"

Gu Mu said, "Your Majesty, the princess is intact and I will return her to you. I wonder if Your Majesty can withdraw his troops."

Prince Ruyang winked at Wang Baobao and said, "Retreat!"

Wang Baobao immediately shouted: "Retreat!"

At the command, the army immediately retreated and walked directly down the mountain.

King Ruyang looked at Gu Mu and asked, "Is this okay?"

Gu Mother said: "Okay, the prince is indeed a man of his word, let him go!"

After hearing this, Gu Mother immediately released the person. Zhao Ya then turned around to look at Linglong and said, "Linglong, I'm leaving now."

Linglong said: "I will definitely work hard to practice martial arts, and when I reach the level of a dragon, I will definitely go to Jiangnan to find your sister Yaya."

Zhao Ya said: "Wait for you."

At this time, Chen Jie also said: "Goodbye Linglong."

Linglong looked at Chen Jie and said, "Brother Chen, take care on your journey!"

The three of them said goodbye cherishingly, and then Chen Jie and Zhao Ya came to King Ruyang. Seeing the scene in front of the formation, King Ruyang frowned slightly.

It seems like Yaya has a good relationship with the Saint of the Five Poisons Sect.

Thinking of this, King Ruyang watched Zhao Ya return to his camp little by little.

At the same time, his eyes also saw Chen Jiusi.

His brows wrinkled, but at this moment Zhao Ya bowed and said, "Father."

King Ruyang said: "Okay, let's not talk about this now. Since you are fine, let's go down the mountain. As for the future, we will talk about it later."

After saying this, King Ruyang waved his whip, urged the entire team to retreat, and went straight out.

They quickly withdrew from the Five Poison Mountains, and finally ran 30 miles straight to the Chongshan Prefecture City in western Hunan.

There are also officials from Daqian here, and King Ruyang took his people to rest in Chongshan Prefecture City.

Upon hearing this, the prefect of Chongshan directly gave the government office where he lived to Prince Ruyang.

After everything was settled, Zhao Ya and Chen Jie were taken to the back hall of the government office.

As soon as the two entered the back hall of the government office, they heard Wang Baobao shouting, "Someone, arrest Chen Jiusi!"

"Yes!"

At the command, a group of people came forward and held Chen Jie down. Chen Jie did not resist and cooperated very well throughout the whole process.

But Zhao Ya exclaimed: "Third brother, what are you doing? Why did you arrest him?"

After hearing this, Wang Baobao looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Yaya, this person cannot be kept."

"Why can't you stay?"

Wang Baobao said: "This person betrayed his master. When you were captured by the Five Poison Sect, he actually defected to the Five Poison Sect and gave them advice. How can we keep such a person?"

Zhao Ya heard this and said, "Who said he betrayed me? Where did you hear that, Third Brother?"

"These days, I was captured by the Five Poison Sect, and it was Chen Jiusi who mediated and kept me safe. How could you arrest a hero at random!"

"This!" Wang Baobao frowned upon hearing this. At this time, Zhao Ya turned to the soldier who had captured Chen Jiusi and said, "Let him go."

The soldier looked at Wang Baobao hesitantly, and Wang Baobao frowned without saying anything.

Zhao Ya became anxious, so she pushed the soldiers away and untied Chen Jie herself.

"Yaya!"

But at this moment, a majestic voice suddenly sounded.

Zhao Ya turned her head and looked at Prince Ruyang who was sitting in the main seat.

Prince Ruyang looked at Zhao Ya at this time, and Zhao Ya quickly stood up and saluted Prince Ruyang.

"Father, thank you for coming a thousand miles to rescue my daughter."

After hearing this, King Ruyang said, "Well, it doesn't matter. You are my daughter. If you have any problems, how can I ignore you as your father?"

Prince Ruyang looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Yaya, you can tell me what happened this time."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya directly told Chen Jie and Ling Long what they had discussed.

The gist is that Zhao Ya came to the Five Poison Sect in search of Wu Mu's posthumous letter, and then met Na Su, who was so crazy that he wanted to use the lives of people traveling around the world to feed the Gu God in the Gu God Valley.

But Zhao Ya accidentally fell into the trap.

These are all true. Asan can serve as a witness. Chen Jie risked his life to save Zhao Ya, and then helped Linglong defeat Na Su and wake up the Gu mother.

Most of the story is true, but the part where Zhao Ya saved Chen Jiusi was omitted.

He just used the excuse that Zhao Ya had been injured after being captured and had been recuperating.

For these matters, there will be no problem even if you let Elder Scorpion come to confront you.

Because the only two people in the entire Miao area who know the actual situation are Gu Mu and Linglong.

As for why Gu Mu was unwilling to let herself go, the first reason was that she wanted to have someone to rely on, so as to prevent King Ruyang from changing his mind and causing other accidents.

Then, Gu Mu hoped that she would heal her wounds so that she could give an explanation to King Ruyang.

After hearing this, Prince Ruyang looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Oh, so it seems that Chen Jiusi is not only helpless, but has actually made a contribution?"

Zhao Ya said: "That's it."

King Ruyang didn't say much, but looked at Chen Jie who was standing there for a long time.

His eyes were full of scrutiny. Chen Jie lowered his head and brows without saying a word, just like a new son-in-law meeting his father-in-law for the first time.

The two men confronted each other for a moment. For some reason, King Ruyang hated Chen Jiusi a little, as if this man was going to snatch away his beloved flowers.

Although Prince Ruyang didn't want to admit it, Chen Jiusi did look good.

He is tall, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. There is a heroic look between his eyebrows. He is very handsome.

But the more he did this, the more unhappy Prince Ruyang became. How could he want to seduce my daughter when he looks like this?
Prince Ruyang hesitated for a moment, looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi."

"I am the garrison commander of Huangzhou Prefecture, Chen Jiusi, and I am honored to meet His Majesty!"

Chen Jie was very respectful and his attitude was very appropriate. King Ruyang glanced at Chen Jie and there was some satisfaction between his brows.

He still knows the rules.

Chen Jie stood with his back bowed. At this time, Prince Ruyang looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, listen to what the princess said. You have made a great contribution this time. You went deep into the tiger's den and rescued the princess. It's a great achievement!"

"The princess has been kind to me, and I should repay her with gratitude. Saving the princess is what I should do, and I dare not take credit for it!"

After hearing this, King Ruyang said, "Haha, you are not fond of merit, but I have always been clear about rewards and punishments. If you have made contributions, I will not hesitate to reward you!"

After hearing this, Zhao Ya said, "Yes, father, Chen Jiusi saved my daughter's life. You must reward him handsomely!"

Prince Ruyang looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Yaya, the meritorious and guilty have not yet been determined. The meritorious will of course be rewarded, but what about the guilty?"

Zhao Ya said: "How can he be guilty? If it weren't for him, my daughter might have been killed by Nana Su this time."

King Ruyang said, "Okay, Yaya, don't interrupt me when I ask questions."

Zhao Ya wanted to say something, but Prince Ruyang glared at her. Zhao Ya deliberately stomped her feet in anger.

"You have done a great job but you are still questioning me. I wonder who will risk their lives to save your daughter if she gets into trouble again in the future!"

Although these words were small, they were clearly heard by everyone. Prince Ruyang looked a little embarrassed, but he still looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi."

"The humble position is here."

"Don't worry, I am not a person who makes trouble without reason. I just have a question for you. When I sent Elder Scorpion into the cave to negotiate with the Gu Mother, why did you help the Gu Mother to deal with me? Instead of thinking about helping the princess escape from the sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible, what on earth are you thinking about?"

Prince Ruyang asked sternly. After hearing this, Chen Jie said directly: "Your Highness, this is not right. I was not helping the Gu Mother of the Five Poison Sect at that time. I was protecting the princess!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Ruyang narrowed his eyes and said, "Tell me, don't lie, I have witnesses here."

"Elder Scorpion!"

Prince Ruyang said something to Elder Scorpion, and the next moment Elder Scorpion walked over quickly, bowed to Prince Ruyang and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

King Ruyang looked at Elder Scorpion and said, "Tell me about what happened at that time!"

After hearing this, Elder Scorpion said, "Yes."

As he spoke, Elder Scorpion turned and looked at Chen Jie, his eyes filled with viciousness and ferocity.

However, Zhang Shicheng, who was standing aside, frowned slightly. His original plan was to let Prince Ruyang beat Chen Jiusi to death directly, but now he actually started to ask questions. This was not right. In this way, Chen Jiusi would not be able to die.

As he was thinking this, he heard Elder Scorpion speak: "Your Highness, when I entered the cave, I asked Gu Mother to release the princess, but I didn't expect Chen Jiusi to cause trouble and stop them from sending the princess out."

"What he said was that he was doing it to protect the princess. This is simply nonsense. This man must be a vicious person. We can't keep him here!"

Elder Scorpion was a little hysterical.

King Ruyang looked at Elder Scorpion and said, "You step down first. Chen Jiusi, do you have anything else to say?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie saluted to King Ruyang, then looked at Elder Scorpion and said, "Elder Scorpion, you and I are old enemies. I know you are bold and reckless, but I didn't expect you to be so confusing right and wrong!"

Elder Scorpion frowned and said, "You are slandering me, I..."

"Shut up and let him talk."

Prince Ruyang interrupted Elder Scorpion and looked at Chen Jie and said, "You go ahead."

Chen Jie said, "Your Highness, this is what happened. As soon as he entered the cave, he was arrogant and even more pretentious when he met the Gu Mother."

"He also proposed three conditions to Gu Mother, each one more demanding than the last."

"and many more!"

King Ruyang frowned and looked at Chen Jie and asked, "How many conditions did he put forward to Gu Mother?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Scorpion broke out in a cold sweat. Zhang Shicheng also frowned in the crowd, thinking to himself that something bad was going to happen!
"Three conditions!"

Prince Ruyang turned his head and looked at Elder Xie and said, "I think I just put forward one condition, just ask them to release the princess safely!"

Elder Scorpion said, "Your Highness, I, I just made a suggestion, but Chen Jiusi, he, he is slandering me!"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Elder Scorpion, I wasn't the only one at the scene. There were so many people there. You say I am slandering you, but so many people can testify for me. What do you say?"

Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, if you don't believe me, you can send someone to investigate. There were so many people there, you should carefully identify who lied between me and Elder Scorpion!"

Elder Scorpion was suddenly speechless and didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, King Ruyang said: "Well, I will investigate, but you said he proposed three conditions, what are those three conditions, and what does this have to do with you speaking for Miaojiang?"

Chen Jie said: "Your Majesty, please listen to me. Everything I say next is true!"

"You can send someone to investigate. If there is anything untrue, I am willing to pay with my life."

Upon hearing this, King Ruyang glanced at Chen Jie and said, "Tell me about it."

Chen Jie said: "First, he said that the Five Poison Sect should hand over their sect's most powerful magic skill, the 'Nine Li Magic Skill', to him."

"Jiuli Magic Power"!
Prince Ruyang frowned.

Chen Jie then said, "It is said that the Nine Li Magic Skills is a magic skill left by the ancestors of the Miao Village. It is a magic skill of the Miao region. It is said that only the leader is qualified to comprehend this skill. If others read it, it would be a blasphemy of the Holy Lord. This condition will greatly anger the people of the Miao region."

"List……"

"Shut up!"

King Ruyang glared at Elder Scorpion, leaving him speechless.

At this time, Chen Jie said: "The second condition is to use my head in exchange for the opportunity for peace talks with the prince."

King Ruyang asked, "Your head?"

Chen Jie said: "I have a grudge against Elder Scorpion. I was the one who killed his disciple, Turan. I guess he wanted revenge at that time."

"And Your Majesty, I was also very scared when I heard it. I admit that this was part of the reason why I spoke up to help Gu Mother."

Prince Ruyang said nothing when he heard this.

Wang Baobao asked, "What about the third condition?"

Chen Jie said: "Release the princess, otherwise the prince's army will destroy the Miao village!"

"Your Highness can send someone to check what I said above. If there is a mistake in one word, please chop off my head!"

Chen Jie made this assurance to King Ruyang. After hearing this, everyone in the field frowned, and Wang Baobao immediately became angry and kicked directly at Elder Scorpion.

Elder Scorpion wanted to hide, but he didn't dare.

After all, there were two Furnace Realm masters watching in the field. If he resisted, he would probably be suppressed by them.

Therefore, Elder Scorpion was kicked by Wang Baobao. At this time, Wang Baobao said angrily: "I asked you to pass a message, but you did so many tricks and put the condition of saving my sister at the last one. Fuck you!"

As he said that, Wang Baobao kicked Elder Scorpion several times.

Chen Jie said nothing. This was Chen Jie's language skill. After all, Chen Jie simply changed the order of the three conditions.

Not a single word was wrong, but it conveyed the feeling that Elder Scorpion didn't care about Zhao Ya's life at all.

After all, people generally understand that the first condition is the most important, followed by the last few.

And Elder Scorpion didn't even mention Zhao Ya first, which was like stirring up a hornet's nest. Moreover, during the entire process, Chen Jie didn't tell a single lie. You can let Prince Ruyang investigate at will, and if there is anything wrong, Chen Jie will lose.

Elder Scorpion was kicked down by Wang Baobao and kicked several times, but he dared not resist. At this moment, Zhang Shicheng suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty!"

Prince Ruyang looked at Zhang Shicheng and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Shicheng had to come out out of necessity. There was no other way because he was the one who ordered this matter from Elder Scorpion. If Elder Scorpion got angry and gave himself up, it would be a waste of time and effort.

Therefore, Zhang Shicheng directly stood up, bowed to the prince and said: "Your Majesty, although Elder Scorpion's false order is abominable, he must also want to seize the magical power of the Five Poison Sect for your majesty, so as to make a contribution and let your majesty look at him with respect!"

"Although he is bold and reckless, his actions are understandable. I hope Your Majesty will be lenient with him."

After hearing this, King Ruyang took a deep breath and said, "Okay."

Wang Baobao stopped and looked at King Ruyang and said, "Father, this man dared not take Yaya's life seriously, he should be beaten to death!"

After hearing this, King Ruyang said, "It was an unintentional mistake."

Prince Ruyang is in need of people right now, so he wants to make use of Elder Scorpion, especially since Gui Yannian is seriously injured, Prince Ruyang also needs some people to do things for him.

Thinking of this, King Ruyang looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, even if what you said just now is true, but apart from the one that wanted your life, what do the rest of these things have to do with you giving advice to Gu Mu?"

"Or are you just afraid of death, so you had to counterattack Elder Scorpion, which led to the failure of the first negotiation?"

"Ah, Father, how can you ask that?"

"This Scorpion Elder is about to kill him, can't he say a few words for his own life?"

Upon hearing this, Prince Ruyang looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Yaya, are you concerned about him?"

Zhao Ya's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and then she suppressed her uneasiness and said, "Yes, he saved my life, I can't let others bully him!"

King Ruyang frowned slightly: "Yaya, remember your identity!"

Zhao Ya wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, she lowered her head and kept silent.

King Ruyang looked at Chen Jiusi and said, "You can tell me why you helped the Gu Mother of the Five Poison Sect to fight against me!"

Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness, I have always emphasized that I have never targeted you, nor have I ever helped the Five Poison Sect. Everything I did was to protect the princess."

"Let me ask you, Your Majesty, which is more important, the so-called Five Poison Sect's magical skill, the 'Nine Li Magic Skill' or the princess' life."

"Of course it's the princess's fate!"

After hearing this, Chen Jie looked at the prince and said, "Then let me ask you, if the Five Poison Sect really doesn't want to release the princess, how long can you hold out against the Five Poison Sect in this mountain?"

Prince Ruyang was silent. How long would it take? Perhaps another ten days, and he would leave no matter what.

Prince Ruyang did not speak. Chen Jie said, "Your Majesty is the prince of the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. Now is a time of great change. Your Majesty is like a pillar of stone that stabilizes the sea. As long as Your Majesty is here, the south of the Yangtze River will be safe!"

"Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the prince to stalemate with a group of Miao people in this barren land of western Hunan. The prince must fight a quick battle."

"This is the only way to withdraw in time and stabilize the situation in Jiangnan!"

"So I guess that the prince will not be able to stay here for long. Since he does not want to stay for long, the prince must make a quick decision. In this case, the conditions cannot be harsh. He can only protect the most core interests. Therefore, I dare to guess that this most core interest is the princess's safety."

"The princess' safety is more important than anything else!"

"This is the only thought in my mind!"

"At this time, this guy came forward and said that the prince's condition was that he wanted the technique and my head..."

"Your Majesty, the Nine Li Magic Art is the treasure of the Miao village. Handing it over would be tantamount to betraying our ancestors! Can they give it to you easily?"

"And my head is worthless, but I just helped them put down the rebellion in order to save the princess, so I have done them a great service! Wouldn't it be a betrayal for them to kill me?"

"And I knew at the time that the Miao village in that cave had enough food to sustain it for half a year."

"Your Majesty, in such a tangled and difficult decision, may I ask, if it were you, what would you do?"

Chen Jie directly passed the ball to King Ruyang in the form of a rhetorical question. King Ruyang frowned and fell into deep thought. Bian Tian said, "No, wait a little longer. Anyway, the imperial army can't break in."

"Yes, we have to wait a little longer, Your Majesty. If we have to wait for a month or two, how will Your Majesty cope with this?"

"Does Your Majesty really want to spend two or three months in this barren land? What if the other party plans to spend half a year?"

"When the time comes, will the prince give up Jiangnan or the princess?"

"Be bold!"

After hearing Chen Jie's blatant questioning, He Yishou shouted angrily, "This kid is courting death. He dares to say such things."

But at this time, King Ruyang raised his hand and said, "Let him speak."

He Yishou immediately shut up, bowed, and handed the situation over to Chen Jie. Chen Jie said, "So, Your Majesty, what I was thinking at the time was that this person proposed this condition. No matter whether it was your intention or his, the first and second conditions could not be agreed to. The key is to keep the third condition."

"This is the only way to ensure the princess' safety. As for the other things, I couldn't consider so many things at that time, so I spoke to the Gu mother to make her reject other conditions and talk directly with the prince. Only in this way can the princess' safety be guaranteed. This is all I thought at that time."

"As for the rest, I have not given it any more thought, nor can I afford to give it any more thought!"

After hearing this, everyone frowned. There was nothing wrong with what Chen Jiusi said. Even King Ruyang couldn't find any fault with it.

After thinking for a long time, King Ruyang said, "So, you did have your own reasons at that time?"

Chen Jie said, "Your Majesty, I dare not tell you my difficulties, but I know that the princess is my benefactor, and I must repay the princess's great kindness no matter what."

After hearing this, Prince Ruyang nodded slightly: "Then it seems that you are very loyal."

Hearing what Prince Ruyang said, Zhao Ya came over immediately and said, "Father, I've already said that Chen Jiusi is a good person and he is loyal to his daughter."

After hearing this, Prince Ruyang said, "Well, Yaya is right. He is loyal, loyal. Father also listened to the instigation of the villain."

King Ruyang glanced at Elder Scorpion lying on the ground with a cold look.

Zhao Ya heard this and said, "Yes, father, you see, he is clearly a meritorious official, but you are interrogating him like this. Aren't you afraid of hurting his feelings? Father, I think you should reward him well."

"Reward, yes reward, then what do you think I should reward him with, Yaya?"

Zhao Ya's eyes turned slightly when she heard this and said, "Father, don't you still have a few moves of the Eighteen Dragon Capturing Palms?"

"He's just practicing his palm skills, why not give them to him?"
