Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey! Chapter 691 - 198 Garrison Commander: My Lord, Lord of the C

Nan Batian’s Mystic Ice Power was very useful; there was an Ice Hall in the treasure trove that could only be opened using the Ice Based Technique, and Nan Batian’s Mystic Ice Power was just the right fit.

So even if they couldn’t defeat Chen Jiusi today, they had to protect Nan Batian!

Therefore, he still chose to firmly protect Nan Batian.

Zhao Ya represented the interests of the Ruyang Royal Mansion, while he represented the interests of King Qi; in the face of these interests, he could not back down, otherwise, he would lose his position in the heart of King Qi.

If he lost his position, he would truly be close to death.

King Qi would not need a useless subordinate.

Thus, even when facing the Commandery Princess, he could not keep backing down, otherwise, he would be replaced by soone else appointed by King Qi.

Zhao Ya looked at Ba Tan and said, "Are you implying that you must firmly protect this Nan Batian?"

Ba Tan responded, "It’s not that I am personally protecting him, principally he is my spy, as well as King Qi’s; thus, I respectfully ask your highness, Lord of the Commandery, to please show leniency."

Zhao Ya narrowed her eyes; Ba Tan actually dared to invoke King Qi.

Zhao Ya realized he was determined to protect him to death, hence, she looked at Ba Tan and said, "Ba Tan, alright, if you want to zealously protect this person, I won’t stop you; but Chen Jiusi is my man, and he belongs to my Ruyang Royal Mansion, you can’t touch him, that’s impossible!"

Ba Tan, upon hearing this, looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Lord, this person has stabbed the Gang Leader in the back and sched to seize power; he is not a good man. Protecting him, Lord, I fear may lead to betrayal of you later, that would put you in a difficult position."

"Hmph, whether I am in a difficult position has nothing to do with you; besides, Ba Tan, let ask you, what brought you to Mianshui this ti; was it just for your spy?"

Ba Tan expressed, "No no, besides him, I also wanted to explore the dicine King Treasure!"

Zhao Ya, "Oh, you’re interested in the dicine King Treasure as well?"

Ba Tan feigned surprise and said, "Lord, you wouldn’t be interested in this dicine King Treasure as well, would you?"

Zhao Ya, upon hearing this, looked at Ba Tan and said, "What do you think?"

Ba Tan, after hearing this, said, "Ah, that’s tricky; logically, since the Lord is interested in this treasure, I should step aside, but I have taken a military oath to King Qi. This dicine King Treasure, I must secure sothing, otherwise, I fear it would be difficult to justify returning empty-handed to King Qi!"

"So, Lord, I’m afraid I cannot yield to you."

Ba Tan said looking at Zhao Ya. Zhao Ya, upon hearing, looked at Ba Tan and said, "Ba Tan, very well, since that’s the case, I won’t make it difficult for you; we will rely on our own abilities, whoever can obtain the treasure from within shall own it, so no one will lose out, and you will have your explanation."

"Thank you for your understanding, Lord!"

Ba Tan addressed Zhao Ya.

After hearing this, Zhao Ya looked at Ba Tan and said, "Alright, since everything has been laid out clearly, does the Lord Governor still want to arrest soone?"

Ba Tan, upon hearing this, glanced at Chen Jiusi with a hint of ridicule and said, "Since this Chen Jiusi is the Lord’s man, naturally, he cannot be arrested."

The Princess said, "In that case, take your n and leave, you are not welco here."

Ba Tan bowed deeply and said, "Yes, Lord, I shall take my leave."

As Ba Tan turned to Chen Jiusi and said, "Chen Jiusi, is it? I’ll rember you!"

Chen Jie imdiately cupped his hands and said, "To be rembered by the Lord Governor is an honor for ."

Ba Tan, upon hearing this, waved his hand and said, "Let’s go."

With that, the group directly left; Nan Batian also limped away, glaring fiercely at Chen Jie before leaving, "Chen Jiusi, we’re not finished yet."

Chen Jie said, "Guild Leader Nan, I didn’t expect you to find such a backer, but you won’t be so fortunate next ti."

Nan Batian snorted coldly and said, "Next ti, I will kill you!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Liu could not hold back and said, "Nan Batian, if it wasn’t for your master saving you today, you would’ve been dead, what are you shouting for, you truly don’t know whether you’re alive or dead, shaless."

Nan Batian, upon hearing this, looked fiercely at Elder Liu and said, "Liu Laoguai, and you, once my injury is better, you, and you all, I will settle this with each of you one by one."

Elder Liu said, "Stop the tough talk. If you have the capability, co fight again, and let’s see who is the coward."

"Cough cough..."

Nan Batian, hearing this, was furious, thinking you’re just bullying because I’m injured, otherwise I’d kill you!

Elder Liu, with a taunting expression, said, as everyone chased the n away, still not allowing a few shouts, where in the world does such a thing happen?

Thinking such, Elder Liu said, "What’s wrong, Nan Batian, if you dare, stop acting cowardly and fight!"

"You..."

Nan Batian only felt more pain in his Dantian, and at that mont, Yu Man’er said, "Junior brother, let’s go."

Upon hearing this, Nan Batian glared fiercely at Elder Liu and said, "You wait!"

Elder Liu said, "I’ll wait for you, you good-for-nothing reliant on a woman!"

"You..." Elder Liu’s words were too damaging, infuriating Nan Batian to the point of steaming anger.

Thus, Nan Batian left with Ba Tan, and Chen Jie and the others watched their retreating figures, with Chen Jie noting, "It seems this dicine King Treasure will be fiercely contested."

Zhao Ya said, "Hmph, King Qi has always been recruiting soldiers and buying horses, scheming for Hubei; Ba Tan is just one of his dogs."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ya turned her head to Yelu and asked, "Which side does the Yelu Family stand on?"

Yelu, upon hearing this, slightly changed his expression and said, "My Yelu Family is only loyal to the court, and you know that, Lord."

Zhao Ya, upon hearing this, looked at Yelu and said, "King Qi is the court, and my Ruyang Royal Mansion is also the court, so think carefully."

Yelu said, "Lord, I’m only a collateral mber of the Yelu Family, I’m not in charge..."

Zhao Ya, having heard this, said, "Fine, I won’t make it difficult for you, but this ti for the dicine King Treasure, will you go with , or with Ba Tan?"

Yelu imdiately responded, "Of course, I’ll go with the Lord."
