Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 1893: Chapter 443: Recruiting a Renowned General, Zhang Dingbian Submits (Part 3)

After all, what she did was too cool. Everyone has seen people elope from a martial arts wedding, but who has ever escaped a royal wedding, refusing to be the Empress?

What kind of free spirit is this? The sons and daughters of Jianghu live by following their hearts, but who can compare with Zhao Ya in this regard? She refused to be the Empress for love.

This action instantly made her a model character and spiritual idol to the sons and daughters of Jianghu, as well as those who are lovesick and heartbroken.

If Zhao Ya wasn’t of Mulan descent and not quite accepted by some Han people, there would be no problem in her topping the rouge list.

Absolutely the representative of young heroic knights who yearn for love.

Zhao Ya didn’t expect that she would have such a status in Jianghu. She was praised by Zhang Dingbian for this step she took, which indeed left a different impression in his heart.

Especially when he looked at Chen Jiusi again, and Chen Jiusi called Zhao Ya his fiancée. What does this represent?

This represents that the person who stole the Emperor’s woman and put a green hat on the reigning Emperor is none other than this Hero Chen in front of him.

Thinking of this, he raised his glass and said, "I didn’t expect to meet the True God here. There’s nothing more I can offer. I borrow flowers to offer to Buddha, I borrow Hero Chen’s wine to bless you two with a hundred years of happiness."

After hearing these words, Chen Jie and Zhao Ya exchanged glances, then followed suit by raising their glasses and said, "Thank you."

The three clinked glasses and drank it all in one go. Then they continued the conversation, Chen Jie said, "This time I have come to rescue my father-in-law, the Ruyang King."

This matter was quite difficult for Zhang Dingbian to accept, considering the Ruyang King was once the cornerstone of the court’s suppression of Jiangnan, and many rebel armies were suppressed by him. Zhang Dingbian surely didn’t hold much affection for him, and if approached from a normal angle, Zhang Dingbian would definitely have scolded Chen Jie.

However, now he first affirmed the love between Chen Jie and Zhao Ya, believing their union was worthy of blessing.

Then from Zhao Ya’s perspective, there was nothing wrong with coming to rescue her father; who could say that a daughter’s rescue of her father is wrong?

Zhao Ya is not wrong, and Chen Jiusi helping his wife rescue his father-in-law is not wrong either. So, after logically considering it all, there’s no error in this matter. How should Zhang Dingbian judge it?

He could only express respect.

Chen Jie looked at Zhang Dingbian but didn’t speak; instead, he said, "Brother Zhang, the Great Capital is now a place of trouble."

"Do you know Tuotuo is going to hold a King Slaughter Conference?"

Zhang Dingbian said, "I know, now quite a few people from the Northern Red Scarf have entered the city."

Chen Jie said, "Hmm, great chaos is imminent, we should act more cautiously."

Having said this, Chen Jie looked at Zhang Dingbian and said, "Brother Dingbian, what are your plans next?"

Zhang Dingbian said, "I originally came to the Great Capital to do two things: first, to kill Lu Feng and clear the household, and second, to kill Tuotuo to rid the Kingdom of traitors."

"But now the matter hasn’t been accomplished, and my junior brother has been captured as well. Thinking about it, it’s really a failure, so my next step is to think of a way to rescue my junior brother first, and then..."

At this point, Zhang Dingbian said, "Clear the household and kill Lu Feng!"

Chen Jie looked at Zhang Dingbian and asked, "Then what about Tuotuo? You won’t kill him?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingbian let out a bitter smile and said, "One must have self-awareness. Tuotuo is a Prime Minister with the Empire’s fortune protecting him. To kill him is as difficult as climbing to heaven, so for now, I won’t kill him."

Chen Jie said, "Hmm, indeed, Tuotuo isn’t easy to kill."

After these words, Chen Jie looked at Zhang Dingbian and asked, "Then will you never kill him in your lifetime?"

Zhang Dingbian looked at Chen Jie and asked, "What do you mean?"

Chen Jie looked at Zhang Dingbian and said, "Have you ever thought about how to kill a person protected by the Empire’s fortune?"

Zhang Dingbian fell silent for a moment, then said, "To kill someone protected by the Empire’s fortune, there are only two ways. The first is without Energy Transformation. Below Energy Transformation, one is a common person, and a common person doesn’t possess any powers and isn’t repelled by the national fortune, so they can successfully assassinate."

"However, how to approach someone protected by the Empire’s fortune is a difficult thing, so this method isn’t friendly."

"What about the second way?"

Chen Jie asked Zhang Dingbian, who remained silent for a while and thought before saying, "There’s only one way: to use national fortune against national fortune. If you can break into the Great Capital, then the Daqian National Fortune would be exhausted, and the one breaking into the Great Capital can devour the national fortune. Killing him then would be as easy as turning over your hand."

Chen Jie looked at Zhang Dingbian and asked, "Which do you think has higher feasibility?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingbian looked at Chen Jie and said, "Break into the Great Capital!"

Chen Jie laughed, looked at Zhang Dingbian, and asked, "How about it, are you interested in breaking into the Great Capital with me?"

"Are you recruiting me?"

Zhang Dingbian looked at Chen Jie in shock, and Chen Jie laughed and said, "Isn’t it obvious?"

Zhang Dingbian fell silent for a moment and asked, "Give me a reason?"

Chen Jie said, "Breaking into the Great Capital isn’t the best reason?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingbian fell silent, his eyes looking at Chen Jie: "Break into the Great Capital? Can you do it?"

"Things are done by people. If you don’t try, you’ll never accomplish them. Likewise, such things can’t be done by one person alone; I need people like you to help me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dingbian fell silent, then said, "Hero Chen, in principle, I should agree with you. But I still have a great vendetta that hasn’t been resolved, and my junior brother has been captured. I fear I need to settle these two matters first before I can help you without reservation."

"Thus, I make a pact with you. Once I rescue my junior brother and kill my great enemy Lu Feng, then I will operate under you. From that point on, whether climbing Sword Mountain or descending into a frying pan, I, Zhang Dingbian, will have no objections, and I will wholeheartedly follow the Lord and break into the Great Capital!"
