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

Chapter 609 What are Chen Jiu Si's trump cards?

Boluo was thrilled. What a stroke of luck! He'd searched high and low only to find it right under his nose. Today's battle had actually resulted in the slaying of...
Killing Chahan, and also taking care of the biggest scourge Chen Jiu Si, it was definitely a worthwhile trip.

Bo Luo watched with a smile as Chen Jie and Zhao Ya rode up on horseback. He didn't make a move, and even waited for them to arrive. After all, they had walked right into his trap, so there was no need for him to kill them prematurely.

Letting people reunite is also a way for him to give an account of his decades-long friendship with Chahan.

As for the dusty army behind Chen Jie, Boluo didn't take it seriously at all. In terms of military formation, who in the world could be stronger than Ruyang King's White Deer Army? But how come they were defeated here? Could Chen Jiu Si really have an army stronger than Ruyang King's?
Stop kidding, how is this possible!

Therefore, Boluo believed that no matter how many people came, it would be useless. He only needed to capture the leader first and capture Chen Jie, and then the battle would be over.

Chen Jiu Si was a powerful figure in Jiangnan with a great reputation. Capturing him and bringing him to justice would greatly help establish the prestige of the entire Da Qian state. It could be said that killing Chen Jiu Si would bring unimaginable benefits.

The more Bo Luo thought about it, the better he felt. He couldn't understand why someone as smart as Chen Jiu Si would not hide and instead come here to die.

Could it be that he wants to join forces with the Prince of Ruyang to deal with me?

Or perhaps, this fool was swayed by a woman and, regardless of the vast difference in strength, rushed to save Prince Ruyang with a heart full of passion. Heh, if it's the latter, Bo Luo has to admit that he had definitely overestimated Chen Jiu Si before. How could such a fool have such a high evaluation?

But whatever the reason, Chen Jiu Si's coming here was no different from going to his death. Therefore, Bo Luo was secretly delighted, thinking, "I might really have incredible luck."

This battle truly solved the problem once and for all.

Chen Jie and Zhao Ya approached from afar and quickly arrived at the front. The two almost ignored Boluo and jumped off their horses. Zhao Ya ran straight towards the Prince of Ruyang.

"Father, Father!"

Zhao Ya said urgently. Upon hearing this, the Prince of Ruyang looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Ya Ya, are you confused? Why are you here!"

Zhao Ya said, "My father is suffering here, how could I not come? How could my heart be at peace if I didn't come?"

The Prince of Ruyang said, "You've come here to die. Don't you know why your father is fighting this war? Now that you've come, what's the point of your father's actions? You've made your father lose completely!"

Zhao Ya said, "I don't care, I can't let my father die here. If I have to die, I'll go with him!"

"You, Ya Ya, you weren't like this before!"

When the Prince of Ruyang spoke, Zhao Ya remained silent. Since the matter arose because of her, she could not stand by and watch her father die because of her; otherwise, she would live with guilt for the rest of her life.

"Chen Jiu Si!"

Seeing that he couldn't reason with Zhao Ya, the Prince of Ruyang could only shout angrily. Upon hearing this, Chen Jie slowly walked over and said, "Father-in-law."

"Chen Jiu Si, what are you good for? Don't you know how dangerous this trip is?"

"You call yourself a powerful figure? How can you act so recklessly, being led around by a woman like that...?"

Prince Ruyang pointed at Chen Jiu Si and started cursing. Chen Jie listened attentively and said, "Father-in-law is right. However, Ya Ya said she wanted to come, so I have to come with her. After all, I promised my father-in-law that I wouldn't hurt her feelings."

"Don't you understand when faced with such a crucial matter of right and wrong? Is this a place for you to talk about marital affection? Don't you know who is opposite you? That is the fourth-level fusion god, the Great Qian State Guardian General Baoxiang Army Master, Bolotemur."

"What are you doing here? You're just asking for death! Don't you understand?"

The Prince of Ruyang roared in fury, but Chen Jie listened patiently with a smile on his lips. The Prince of Ruyang became even angrier and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "Chen Jiu Si, do you even understand what I'm saying?!"

Upon hearing the words of the Prince of Ruyang, Chen Jie laughed and said, "How could I not understand?"

"However, Father-in-law, I'll say it again: Ya Ya said she wanted to stay with you, so I brought her here. As for the rest, you don't need to worry about it. If I dared to come, I naturally have a way to leave."

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Ruyang looked at Chen Jie and asked, "You? Peng Yingyu has arrived?"

The Prince of Ruyang could only think of one way to force Boluo to retreat: to invite Peng Yingyu. If Peng Yingyu came, things might turn around.

"No."

Chen Jie answered directly, "There are only the two of us. The rest are just military generals, none of whom are at or above the Fusion God Realm."

"you……"

Upon hearing this, the Prince of Ruyang became anxious and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "Are you crazy? Peng Yingyu didn't come, so what are you doing here!"

Chen Jie remained silent, but Zhao Ya spoke up, "Father, don't be so angry. Jiu Si came to save you with all his heart."

The Prince of Ruyang said, "Do you think I don't know if he's sincere? He'll die with me, what can I say? But he's brainless!"

The Prince of Ruyang was moved. After all, he had rushed to this dangerous place under such circumstances, which meant he had put his life on the line. Did the Prince of Ruyang not know Chen Jie's feelings?
But what use is sentimentality? He would rather Chen Jiu Si be cold and heartless to him, stay on Hubei Road and not come out. With Peng Ying Yu protecting him, they might at least have a good ending.

At least I can survive.

Now look what's happened. For his own sake, he's risked two lives. Is that right?

Especially considering the life of my own Ya Ya, is this really appropriate?

The Prince of Ruyang felt a pang of sympathy, but he could no longer utter any harsh words. Although the two men's actions were unwise, the Prince of Ruyang truly felt their sincerity.

Ya Ya is understandable; she's his own daughter, whom he's doted on since childhood. Now that she's risked her life to come with him, it makes sense.

However, Ruyang Wang was genuinely moved that Chen Jiu Si had come. Originally, he had sent troops for his daughter and had not expected Chen Jiu Si to be grateful to him. But now, under these circumstances, Chen Jiu Si was willing to risk everything to save him.

In this light, Chen Jiu Si is a man of conscience; it was worth it for me to disregard my status and protect him.

Thinking this, Prince Ruyang took a deep breath, reached out and beckoned to Chen Jie, saying, "Jiu Si, I have received your and Ya Ya's filial piety, but we cannot all die here. If we all die, who will avenge me?"

"When I say 'run,' you all run towards the city immediately. I'll hold off Boluo for a moment to buy you time to escape. Remember, never act so impulsively in the future!"

"No, Father, I want to stay with you. I won't run away, I won't run away!"

Zhao Ya shook her head, but Prince Ruyang angrily said, "Nonsense! Don't you know what's important? Is this the time for you to be fooling around?"

"Chen Jiu Si, I order you, take Zhao Ya and leave here immediately, right now!"

The Prince of Ruyang's voice was filled with anger and an unquestionable tone. Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Your Highness, Ya Ya won't leave."

"If she can't walk, why don't you knock her out before you leave? Are you even a man?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie replied, "I won't leave either."

"Are you trying to drive me crazy?!"

The Prince of Ruyang spoke angrily. Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Ya Ya, do you believe me?"

Zhao Ya was taken aback and looked at Chen Jie. Ruyang Wang was also taken aback and looked at Chen Jie. What do you mean by saying this at this time?
Chen Jie said calmly, "If I start fighting with Boluo in a moment, you must not get close. Remember, no matter what happens, do not get close unless I fall to the ground and cannot get up. Only then can you approach, understand?"

Zhao Ya and the Prince of Ruyang were both stunned. The Prince of Ruyang said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chen Jie didn't say anything, but turned to look at Boluo and said, "Zhao Ya, help the prince into the city."

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie in surprise and asked, "Husband, you want it?"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Today I want to test the strength of this Great Qian State Protector General."

Prince Ruyang and Zhao Ya exchanged a glance. Prince Ruyang asked, "What is the current strength of the Ninth Prince?"

Zhao Ya said, "The second stage of the Melting God realm."

"Hmm, that's pretty fast, but how can a mere second-stage Molten God fight against a fourth-stage Molten God? And it feels like he could win? When did your husband go crazy?"

Prince Ruyang looked puzzled, and Zhao Ya said, "It seems so, he just went mad!"

As the two were talking, Zhao Ya obediently helped Prince Ruyang into the city, while Wang Baobao and the others who were less seriously injured also rushed out to support Prince Ruyang.

Wang Baobao looked at the Prince of Ruyang and said, "Why don't we take this opportunity to escape?"

The Prince of Ruyang said, "Help me up to the city wall. Run? With our physical condition, where can we run? Now we can only believe that Chen Jiu Si can create a miracle."

"A second-tier Molten God versus a fourth-tier Molten God? A miracle?"

Wang Baobao didn't believe it, and Zhao Ya clenched her fists. At this moment, she regretted it. Should she have brought Jiu Si with her? Now, is it really possible that her husband will die for her father? Zhao Ya, aren't you being too selfish?
But if you don't come, how am I supposed to face my father?

It was a difficult choice. Actually, she didn't want Chen Jiu Si to come with her. She just wanted to come by herself. After all, he was her father, and the reason her father suffered this calamity was entirely because of her. If it weren't for her, how could her father have fought against the imperial army?

You should know that when Toqto'a wanted to reduce the power of the princes, my father dealt with it with patience and did not turn against the court. But this time, when Boluo marched south, my father raised an army to fight back because of me.

If she were to die on the battlefield in the end, how could she, as her daughter, be at peace?

However, her arrival had implicated her husband, and Zhao Ya was truly at a loss, caught in a dilemma.

Perhaps in life, we really have to go through some difficult choices to grow up. Every step in life is bitter, unless...

Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie. Unless her husband really had some earth-shattering means to defeat Bo Luo, who was at the fourth level of the Melting God realm, everything would be beyond saving. At that time, death might be the only way out.

But if I cause my husband to die here, is that really fair to Sister Su and that slut surnamed Huang?

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Zhao Ya's mind, but so many thoughts were just thoughts. Soon, the group arrived at the city wall, where they saw Chen Jie standing alone outside the city, facing Boluo's army.

At that moment, everyone had only one thought in their minds: "Can he do it?"

At this moment, Zhao Ya's gaze, the Prince of Ruyang's gaze, Wang Baobao's gaze, and the gaze of the surrounding White Deer Army were all on Chen Jie.

Meanwhile, on the outer perimeter, the Buddhist soldiers and Zhang Dingbian's begging army were slowly forming an encirclement.

At this moment, Ding Pulang looked at Chen Jie facing more than 10,000 men of the Baoxiang Army alone, as well as Bolotemur, the fourth-ranked commander of the Baoxiang Army in the world, and asked nervously, "Senior brother, can our lord withstand this?"

Ou Puxiang said, "I don't know. Although we've known each other for so long, I know that my lord is not someone who speaks without reason. But the opponent is, after all, Bolotemur, a fourth-level Molten God. Even my master could only say that at his peak, he and Bolotemur were evenly matched."

"Now, our lord is taking on this one-on-one! This is incredible!"

Ou Puxiang shook his head.

At this time, another army, led by Zhang Dingbian, formed an encirclement with the outer perimeter, but left an opening in one direction, leaving one out of three. This is a typical encirclement and annihilation formation.

Du Xiong was also in the Qihuo army at this time. Watching Chen Jie and Boluo confront each other, he said to Zhang Dingbian beside him, "Old Zhang, can our lord defeat Boluo?"

Zhang Dingbian said, "Although I do not know what method my lord has to win, my lord never fights unprepared. Since we have met, my lord should have at least a 50% chance of winning, otherwise my lord would never fight against him."

After hearing this, Du Xiong remained silent for a long time. Recalling all that his lord had experienced over the years, he finally came to a conclusion: Zhang Dingbian was right. His lord was indeed that kind of person. If he didn't have a 50% chance of winning, his lord would never confront him.

Having figured all this out, Du Xiong said, "I wonder what kind of trump cards our lord has been hiding. Over the years, I still haven't figured out how many trump cards our lord hasn't used."

Zhang Dingbian said, "Hehe, if you could see everything clearly, how could our lord contend for supremacy in the world? The strong are destined to be mysterious."

Then Zhang Dingbian said, "Alright, how's the preparation going? The lord told us to make the traps tighter, and to capture these Baoxiang soldiers alive if possible. These are all elite troops!"

Du Xiong said, "Understood."

After speaking, he looked in Chen Jie's direction, wondering what his lord was hiding.

At this moment, in the very center of the battlefield, the focus of everyone's attention, Chen Jie and Boluo exchanged a glance. Boluo then slowly walked over and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "Chen Jiu Si, long time no see. How is it? Have you finished entrusting what you needed to entrust to him?"

Chen Jie replied to Boluo's words, "Thank you for waiting, Commander Boluo. I have told you everything I needed to tell you."

"Is that really all? These might be your last words. Why don't you leave some more?"

Chen Jie smiled and looked at Boluo, saying, "General Boluo, since these are your last words, do you have anything to leave behind?"

Upon hearing this, Boluo said with a mocking expression, "Heh, you mean, you still want to kill me?"
