Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!-Chapter 1315 - 305: Farewell to Peng Yingyu

Xiangyang Prefecture, the fortress of the Song Dynasty.

It is the prefecture city on Hubei Road.

In the late Song era, a generation of hero Guo Juxia once held this city to resist the Mulan Clan and even killed the Mulan Clan’s Great Khan, Brother Meng, renowned throughout the land.

Later, the Mulan people breached the city, Xiangyang City was massacred for three days. The corpses were strewn everywhere, heads rolled, it’s said that the ground could no longer be seen under the thick layers of blood.

To say that the blood flowed like a river is not an exaggeration.

Later, this city lay abandoned, but fifty years ago, as the population on Hubei Road recovered, it prospered once more, and recently was captured by Peng Yingyu’s Maitreya Sect.

Using this as the capital, they established the first opposing regime against the Daqian Empire.

Tianyuan Empire!

Chen Jie rode from Huangzhou Prefecture to Xiangyang, arriving in just one day and night.

At this time, he traveled light, bringing no one, only himself.

Standing at the gates of Xiangyang City, Chen Jie gazed at this grand city rebuilt from ruins, feeling captivated and enchanted.

But Chen Jie’s eyes subconsciously glanced backward, because he realized that along the way from Huangzhou Prefecture to Xiangyang, there seemed to be someone constantly following him, yet he could never find the person’s whereabouts.

Chen Jie felt that this person’s skill likely surpassed his own, and more importantly, the person was a master at concealing their tracks.

Their method of concealment was, Chen Jie felt, far superior to his own.

Chen Jie squinted his eyes, having formed a plan in his mind, thinking it should most likely be the Fusang Ninja; this bastard had been following him ever since he left Huangzhou Prefecture.

It seems he’s set on targeting him, though he needn’t be overly worried.

Now there’s still ten days left in the one-month safety period Yuan Sanjia mentioned, and since she’s followed him all this way without taking action, it’s clear she’s not intending to break the safety period set with Yuan Sanjia, so he’s safe at the moment.

Thinking this, Chen Jie felt relieved, at least he needn’t worry about safety for now.

As for entering Xiangyang City, the safety is even less of a concern, as there are at least three Molten Furnace Realm experts inside, including one from the Heavenly List, Peng Yingyu.

Moreover, according to reports from Azure Dragon Guard and Jin Yanzi, the strength of Ni Wenjun has been improving quickly, finally breaking through the six-layer limit, successfully entering the seven-layer level.

Ni Wenjun practices the Divine Technique "Nine Layers", and reaching the seventh layer represents the Molten Furnace Realm.

After Ni Wenjun’s strength entered the Molten Furnace Realm, it represented another realm entirely. It should be known that before his breakthrough, at the Half-step Furnace stage, he could fight Han Miaozhen to a standstill, but post-breakthrough, his strength surely surpasses Han Miaozhen’s.

However, his opponent also became formidable, as Peng Yingyu’s senior disciple, known as the Little Blade Saint, Double Saber Zhao Pusheng.

With so many masters in the city, this assassin from Fusang would find it difficult to strike at him, wouldn’t they?

Thinking this, Chen Jie felt a sense of security as he arrived at the gates of Xiangyang Prefecture City.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, a team was already guarding the gates of Xiangyang Prefecture City. After Chen Jie arrived, the guards looked at him and said: "What are you here for?"

Chen Jie said: "I’m here for business."

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper looked Chen Jie up and down and said: "For business? The entrance fee is one piece of silver."

Chen Jie’s brows furrowed as he said: "Why is the entrance fee so expensive here? Other prefectures charge only two cents?"

The gatekeeper scowled and said: "Why do you talk so much nonsense? Are you entering or not? Pay the fee if you’re entering."

Chen Jie frowned and said: "They say Tianyuan Country is the rebel army; why do you act like bandits?"

The gatekeeper instantly became angry: "Come here, who are you calling bandits, huh? We worked painstakingly to save you from the Mulan people’s hands, and asking for some money, what’s wrong with that? Nagging, looking for trouble, aren’t you?"

Seeing this scene, Chen Jie was already quite annoyed. Whose army is this? How can they act like this, has military discipline become so lax?

As Chen Jie was thinking this, a person suddenly rushed over and said: "Lords, lords, this brother probably doesn’t understand, please spare him, spare him."

Speaking, this person said to Chen Jie: "Quick, quickly pay the officer, you don’t want to risk your life."

Although Chen Jie was full of anger, he decided to endure and took out a shredded silver ingot from his pocket, which should be about two maces, and handed it over.

The gatekeepers took the silver coin and exchanged glances, looking at Chen Jie and said: "Not enough!"

Chen Jie frowned, looking at the city guards and said: "Isn’t the entrance fee one piece?"

"One piece, that was just now; now the price has risen, one tael."

The city guard looked at Chen Jie and said, Chen Jie furrowed his brow directly and said: "I won’t enter."

Saying this, Chen Jie prepared to leave, but the guards surrounded him again, then said: "Leave?"

"I won’t enter, and I can’t leave either."

"Of course not, why are you leaving? Now I feel you look like a spy!"

"Men, capture him, send him to the dungeon, and interrogate him carefully, I want to see if he’s a spy."

Upon hearing this, the city guards immediately gathered around, seeing this scene, the person who initially helped Chen Jie said: "Ah, ah, esteemed officials, esteemed officials, this person is not a spy, he’s my cousin, cousin!"

Saying this, the person frantically gave Chen Jie a look and said: "Fork out the silver, fork out the silver, fork out the silver."

"A loss in wealth to avoid calamity, a loss in wealth to avoid calamity!"

Originally, Chen Jie wanted to erupt, thinking the city guards would dare be so arrogant, a word from him could make them lose their heads, these ant-like characters, dared to address him in such a manner.
