Chapter 609 -184: Inspection Envoy, Commandery Princess? (10,000 Characters Seeking Subscription)_6
I don’t know how Xiao Hu’s investigation is going.
With that thought in mind, Chen Jie hurriedly left, while Zhao Ya watched his retreating figure and frowned slightly, “Why does he resemble that little thief so much?”
“Master, what are you looking at?”
Ah San came over to ask, and Ah Da said, “Idiot, he’s watching that young man. Master, do we need to capture that kid for you to interrogate?”
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya frowned and said, “Can’t you two act more normal? You are imperial envoys of the court, not outlaws of Jianghu. We must act according to the law and not act recklessly. If everyone was to capture someone just because they seem suspicious, what would this world come to? That’s enough, I’m going to rest. Take your time eating.”
Saying this, Zhao Ya headed straight upstairs.
Ah San said with a puzzled expression, “Ah Da, what does the Commandery Princess mean?”
“Idiot, Commandery Princess means that we must abide by the court’s laws and not engage in reckless behavior.”
“Huh? Big brother, what are the court’s laws?”
Ah Er looked at Ah Da and asked.
Ah Da, picking his teeth, said, “Who knows what the court’s laws are. The Prince has told us that whoever threatens the Commandery Princess can be executed without trial. The law?”
“What’s that?”
Ah San said, “Burp~ In the south, the Prince’s word is the law. Whatever the Commandery Princess says is the law!”
Ah Er said, “Alright, quit worrying about all that and drink up. The wine at this tavern is pretty good.”
Ah Da frowned and said, “Drink less, you fool. Don’t mess things up.”
Ah Er said, “Don’t worry, I can hold my drink.”
Meanwhile, Zhao Ya returned to her room, pushed open the window, and then saw Chen Jie walking calmly on the street without any sign of panic, as if he was a regular diner who had finished his meal and was taking a stroll.
“Hmm, maybe I got it wrong.”
Zhao Ya muttered to herself, her eyes turning to look beyond the city walls, “Don’t be in a hurry, little thief. I will certainly find you!”
Zhao Ya clenched her fist, anger filling her eyes. The humiliation from the past had to be repaid twofold.
Actually, Zhao Ya was quite reasonable. After she was rescued, Ruyang King became furious and directly ordered the levelling of the seven towns in Mianshui City where Ni Manzi had stayed, to vent his daughter’s anger.
But Zhao Ya straight out refused Ruyang King’s idea.
Moreover, she discussed theories of state governance with Ruyang King, like not to abuse the laws and to treat all Han people equally, not to destroy cities and nations out of a moment of rage!
And so on…
Ruyang King was pleased with his daughter’s reasonable outlook; she was indeed his offspring with a political vision.
Just as the court was looking to appoint an Inspection Envoy, Ruyang King thought, why not let his daughter do it, to give her a chance to take her mind off things? Plus, his third son was serving as Darugachi in Huangzhou Prefecture, so he had her visit her Third Brother to relax.
And that led to the current scene.
Chen Jie walked steadily through three streets, moving far enough from the inn, certain that the other party definitely couldn’t see him anymore, before he hurriedly ran off.
Cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
No doubt these were people sent from above. Although Zhao Ya’s strength wasn’t clear yet, her three subordinates were very strong.
Especially that Third Brother, with a robust aura from Cross Training. Chen Jie knew he was no match, even feeling that Nan Batian couldn’t be his opponent. It seemed that this person must be at the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm.
Chen Jie felt that Third Brother was powerful because First Brother and Second Brother’s strengths likely far exceeded that of Third Brother, making their power almost imperceptible to Chen Jie.
Just like back when he had no idea about Ni Wenjun’s strength. It was due to the gap between their abilities.
Chen Jie believed these two were definitely at the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm or even at a higher realm. Terrifying!
He had to find a way to send these people away soon.
Also, he needed to wrap things up with Nan Batian quickly, or things might change.
Thinking this, Chen Jie returned to his residence. Su Yunjin had already prepared a meal. Although he had eaten a little at the inn, Chen Jie was still very hungry and ate his fill.
Seeing him, Su Yunjin asked, “Husband, how is Sister Huang?”
Chen Jie replied, “Ah, all good.”
Su Yunjin said, “I’ve been feeling anxious staying in the house. If it’s alright, we could have Sister Huang come over to get her rest here. That way, husband, you could take care of her easily, without having to run back and forth.”
Chen Jie said, “Well, my wife, Madam Huang doesn’t want to come over; she’s afraid of disturbing you.”
Upon hearing this, Su Yunjin said, “What disturbance? I’ll visit Sister Huang when I get a chance.”
Chen Jie replied, “Let’s wait a few days, I might be quite busy recently.”
Su Yunjin suddenly became anxious and looked at Chen Jie, “Does it have to do with Nan Batian?”
Chen Jie patted her hand and said, “Yeah, don’t worry, I can handle it.”
Expressing her concern, Su Yunjin said, “Husband, please be careful. Sister Huang and I can’t be without you.”
After hearing this, Chen Jie gently patted Su Yunjin’s back and said, “Let’s go, I’ll take you back to the room to rest. In your current state, you need plenty of rest.”
Su Yunjin was silently reassured and fell asleep.
When Chen Jie went out, Xiao Hu also returned and said, “Fourth Brother Jiu Si, I’ve found it. Nan Batian really is forging weapons at the North Three Iron Ore Mine. It’s well-hidden. If I hadn’t brought two old miners, we wouldn’t have found it.”
Chen Jie asked, “How much have they made?”
Xiao Hu replied, “Not much, but they’re working day and night, so I expect there will be more in a couple of days.”
Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said, “Hehe, Nan Batian really dares to do it. Alright, keep an eye on that place. I’ll go see Darugachi tomorrow!”
“Alright.”
Xiao Hu agreed.
