Chapter 257 Chen Jiusi: Huangzhou Prefecture is mine
Wang Baobao was leaving, which was definitely a pleasant surprise for Chen Jie.

As long as he is in power, Chen Jiusi will have no say in Huangzhou Prefecture. As long as Wang Baobao leaves, he will have more room for maneuver.

Thinking about this, Chen Jie stood up and said, "Quick, prepare the sedan chair and carry me to the Dalugachi Mansion."

Sedan chairs were usually only used by civil officials or women, or officials in the capital who could not ride horses in parades, so they liked to ride in sedan chairs to show their status.

But Chen Jie was a man of the underworld, and people of the underworld seldom rode in sedan chairs.

This will make people think that the host is weak, and Chen Jie's current goal is to make people think that he is sick, weak, and no longer a threat.

Thinking of this, he asked Xiaohu to prepare the sedan chair.

Xiao Hu said with some embarrassment: "Brother Jiu Si, we don't have a sedan chair that you can sit in."

Chen Jie didn't like sedan chairs, so his family never prepared one. The main reason was that Chen Jie had just moved to a new home. In his hometown in Mianshui, things like sedan chairs were not used, but they were always available.

But they had only been in Huangzhou Prefecture for more than a month, and had been busy fighting, so they had not had time to prepare many things.

Chen Jie asked, "Not even one?"

Xiao Hu said with some embarrassment: "Madam Huang has one, but it's a sedan chair made by a woman."

Chen Jie thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's use this sedan chair. Go borrow it from Madam."

"Yes!"

Soon Xiao Hu came back, and with him came Huang Wan'er's personal maid Du Juan. Du Juan bowed to Chen Jie Yingying and said, "Master, Madam said that if a man sits in a sedan chair used by women, he will inevitably be ridiculed. So please, Master, put this blue cloth on the sedan chair to cover it up a little."

Chen Jie looked at the blue cloth that Huang Wan'er had sent over and said with a smile, "Go back and tell Wan'er that I thank her very much, but what I want today is to be different."

After hearing this, Du Juan looked at Chen Jie in surprise, and after a while she said, "Then I will go back and report this to Madam."

Chen Jie said: "Yeah."

After saying this, Chen Jie asked Xiaohu to arrange for sedan bearers to carry him to Darughachi's residence.

Soon they arrived at the Darughachi Mansion. Huobi Ma was standing at the gate. He saw a woman riding in a small sedan chair from a distance and laughed, "Whose daughter is this who is coming to our Darughachi Mansion?"

Thinking this, the sedan chair arrived at the door. Huobi Ma was stunned when he saw that the person standing next to the sedan chair was Chen Xiaohu.

Huobi Ma asked, "Hey, Captain Chen, which lady is this?"

"Ahem... Commander, it's me, ahem..."

Chen Jie got off the sedan chair coughing. Seeing this scene, Huobi Ma was confused. Chen Jiusi, how could it be Chen Jiusi!
"Chen, the garrison commander!"

Huobi Ma said to Chen Jiusi, and Chen Jie said, "Oh, you're welcome, Huobi Ma."

"Governor, why did you come here like this?"

Huobi Ma looked at Chen Jie and asked. Chen Jie coughed twice and said, "I am so ashamed. I don't know what's wrong with my body. I feel so uncomfortable that I can't ride a horse. I only found this small sedan at home. I'm sorry to embarrass Huobi Ma."

Huobi Ma heard this and said, "Oh, it's okay, it's okay."

Chen Jie looked at Huobi Ma and said, "By the way, Huobi Ma, Lord Darughachi, why did you ask me to come here so early?"

……

At this time in the mansion.

Wang Baobao looked at the turtle and the crane and said, "Are we in such a hurry to leave?"

The two elders, Turtle and Crane, said, "Young Prince, we must hurry and leave. Yesterday we saw a huge Buddha statue towering over the sky in the direction of Yong'an Prefecture. According to eyewitness reports, the Buddha could be seen fifty miles away, and everyone thought it was a reincarnation."

After hearing this, Wang Baobao asked, "Who is the Buddha that can be seen fifty miles away?"

He Yishou said: "It is the Laughing Buddha Peng Yingyu. Among all the Buddhists in the world, he is the only one who can have such a Dharma image."

"Laughing Buddha Peng Yingyu!"

After hearing what He Yishou said, Wang Baobao was shocked and asked, "The laughing Buddha Peng Yingyu from the Three Fire Worshipers?"

He Yishou said: "If it's not him, who else could it be?"

Wang Baobao's face changed and he said, "Huangzhou Prefecture is in this situation now, why did Peng Yingyu come to my Huangzhou Prefecture?"

Gui Yannian said: "It is definitely not a good thing. Moreover, if Peng Yingyu wants to do something, my junior brother and I can't stop him at all. We don't even have the qualifications to stop him. He is not Han Miaozhen."

Wang Baobao said: "Such important information must be reported to my foster father immediately."

Gui Yannian said: "There is no other way. Even if the prince knew, he would be helpless. Now most of his troops are stationed in the north. It is very difficult to move westward. So we must leave here quickly and not let Peng Yingyu take the opportunity to deal with us."

Zhao Ya said at this time: "My two masters, I know Peng Yingyu. He went to Mianshui County to look for the Medicine King's treasure. I met him in Mianshui before, and he didn't do anything to me."

"The Medicine King's treasure, that was almost three months ago. He hasn't left Huangzhou Prefecture yet. It's obvious that he has some ulterior motive."

"Just because I didn't do anything to you last time doesn't mean I won't do anything to you this time either, Yaya. The world is about to go into chaos, and we won't allow you to set foot in any dangerous places. You should just come back to the palace with us."

Zhao Ya frowned and said, "I don't want to go back."

Gui Yannian said, "You can't let your temper take its course, Yaya. If you don't come back, Ah He and I will have no choice but to tie you back."

"Ah, Master Turtle, you can't, I won't leave, I..."

He Yishou said, "Yaya, don't mess around. The war is imminent. The prince will definitely not allow a noble like you to wander around in the outside world. So you must come with us this time and don't make things difficult for the masters, okay?"

"Master He, why are you doing this? My father must be afraid that I will run away and then I won't be able to explain to that person."

Zhao Ya said to He Yishou.

He Yishou smiled bitterly and said, "No matter what you say, you must leave Huangzhou Prefecture with us today."

Zhao Ya wanted to say something else, but Wang Baobao said, "Yaya, what the two masters said is true. Huangzhou Prefecture is too dangerous and we can't stay here any longer. Now that the war in the north has started, why don't you come back to the palace with me?"

Zhao Ya frowned and said nothing.

Seeing Zhao Ya like this, Wang Baobao was also touched by his own worries and looked very troubled.

He Yishou looked at Wang Baobao and said, "Young Prince, is there something on your mind?"

Wang Baobao then said, "Yes, I left Huangzhou Prefecture in such a hurry. I also have concerns in my heart."

He Yishou asked, "What are you worried about?"

Wang Baobao said: "Chen Jiusi."

Gui Yannian said: "He is just Chen Jiusi, why should you worry about him?"

Wang Baobao said, "Chen Jiusi has made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in Huangzhou Prefecture this time, and he has done a favor to the people of Huangzhou Prefecture. If I let him manage it more, I am afraid that he will become too powerful to be controlled. So, Masters, I want to transfer Chen Jiusi out of Huangzhou Prefecture."

Zhao Ya heard this and said, "No, the rebellion in Huangzhou Prefecture has just been quelled, and people's hearts are unstable. Moreover, the most important thing is that although the refugees have returned home, we do not have enough food to feed the people. If they have nothing to eat and drink, they will be hungry and they may rebel again. In this way, all our previous efforts will be in vain."

"And Peng Yingyu is also staying in Huangzhou Prefecture. If Peng Yingyu takes the opportunity to cause chaos, Huangzhou Prefecture may rebel again. By then, we will have to deal with the Central Plains War in front and Peng Yingyu's threat in the back. We will be attacked from both sides."

"But if Chen Jiusi stays here, first, he can use the power of his fishing gang to provide relief to the victims and prevent the people from rebelling. Secondly, he can use Chen Jiusi's power to stabilize the situation and prevent the situation in Huangzhou Prefecture from worsening. This will kill two birds with one stone, so Chen Jiusi must not be moved."

Zhao Ya analyzed to Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao said: "I also know the importance of Chen Jiusi to Huangzhou Prefecture, but he is also a capable and ambitious man. I am afraid that if I keep him here, he will become a threat in the future!"

Zhao Ya looked at Wang Baobao and said, "Third brother, what you said is very true, but Chen Jiusi and the Zoroastrians are enemies, and the Zoroastrians are the leaders of the rebels in the world, so he will definitely not surrender to the rebels."

"You just said he is ambitious, I admit it, but now there are wars everywhere, and ambitious people can be found everywhere. It is true that he is ambitious, but it is also true that he does not collude with Zoroastrianism. Even if we take a step back and say that he really has a rebellious heart, at most he will just stay in Huangzhou Prefecture and become a local snake."

"Compared to letting him leave Huangzhou Prefecture and causing the entire Huangzhou Prefecture to rebel again and fall into Peng Yingyu's hands, he just wants to be a local tyrant, which is nothing but a minor problem. It will be very easy for us to subdue him in the future."

"Third brother, do you think what I said is right?"

Zhao Ya said to Wang Baobao.

Wang Baobao fell silent after hearing this. What Zhao Ya said did make some sense.

If Chen Jiusi is transferred away at this time, the possibility of the entire Huangzhou Prefecture rebelling again is as high as 90%. If Peng Yingyu takes the opportunity to stir up trouble, then Huangzhou Prefecture will definitely be out of the control of the court.

On the contrary, if Chen Jiusi was left behind, he might become ambitious and occupy Huangzhou Prefecture. However, given his relationship with Zoroastrianism, he would certainly not surrender to the rebels, even if he occupied Huangzhou Prefecture.

He is just a local tyrant, isolated and helpless. When the imperial army arrives, he will surely surrender.

So Zhao Ya’s words were very clear. If Huangzhou Prefecture was doomed to be lost, it would rather be given to the local tyrant than to a powerful force outside the province.

It will be easy to wipe out the local snakes in the future, but if you want to wipe out the dragon that has come from the river, it will affect the whole body and you will not be able to wipe it out at all.

If it was given to the local tyrant, in the future, even if Guo Jianglong set his sights on Huangzhou, the local tyrant would certainly fight Guo Jianglong without the court sending troops.

This is why Zhao Ya wanted to keep Chen Jie in Huangzhou Prefecture.

After hearing this, Wang Baobao fell silent. What Zhao Ya said made sense, and he understood it. He also admitted that Zhao Ya was right.

But Chen Jiusi left a deep impression on Wang Baobao. Wang Baobao said, "I am afraid of Chen Jiusi. He is not a local snake, but a fierce tiger. If he is not restrained, he will choose someone to devour in the future. I am afraid we will suffer from him!"

Zhao Ya said: "Even if he is a fierce tiger, he is just a sick tiger now. His physical condition does not allow him to do more."

Wang Baobao looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Binghu, haha, I'm afraid he is pretending to be sick!"

Zhao Ya said, "Pretending to be sick?"

Wang Baobao said: "Chen Jiusi has always been cunning. I'm afraid he is afraid that we will abandon him, so he pretends to be sick to confuse us. If I have time, I can distinguish him carefully, but now..."

When Wang Baobao said this, he was heavy-hearted. Chen Jiusi didn't look like someone who was easy to get along with!
This man is both brave and resourceful. I'm really afraid that if I give him the opportunity, he will really take advantage of this favorable situation and soar to the sky.

It has to be said that Wang Baobao had an excellent vision. He could see at a glance that Chen Jie was a hidden dragon with unlimited potential.

Just when Wang Baobao was undecided, he suddenly saw a guard running in from outside. When the guard came in and saw everyone in the room, he immediately saluted and said, "My lords, Chen Jiusi is here."

"Oh!"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the guard, only to see that when the guard mentioned Chen Jiusi, there was a strange smile on his face.

Wang Baobao saw this and asked, "Why are you laughing?"

Hearing this, the guard said, "General, Chen Jiusi, Chen Jiusi came to our house in a woman's sedan chair!"

"what?"

After hearing this, everyone in the group was stunned. Wang Baobao asked in surprise, "Why did he come here in a sedan chair?" The guard said, "I heard that we called too hastily, and the Chen family didn't have time to harness the carriage, and Chen Jiusi couldn't ride a horse, so he could only come here in a woman's sedan chair."

"Haha, this Chen Jiusi is so funny. It looks like he is really injured and can hardly ride a horse. Otherwise, why would he come here in a woman's sedan chair? It's really a disgrace to all warriors!"

Gui Yannian shook his head when he heard this, with a sarcastic smile on his face.

He Yishou also smiled and shook his head, looking at Wang Baobao and said, "Young Prince, it seems that you are worrying too much. Chen Jiusi is such a respectable person. If he was not really forced, why would he ride in a woman's sedan chair? It seems that he is really injured!"

Seeing this, Zhao Ya said, "Third brother, what did I say? Chen Jiusi will not pretend to be sick."

After listening to what the people around him said, Wang Baobao's thoughts changed quietly. For a man in life, reputation is the most important thing. If he was not seriously ill, who would be willing to ride in a woman's sedan chair?

Anyway, he doesn't want to do it. He doesn't want to suffer this injustice.

If you judge others by yourself, if you are unwilling, the other party will definitely be unwilling too.

So he laughed and said, "It seems that I thought too much. Chen Jiusi is nothing special. Let him in."

As Wang Baobao spoke, a mocking smile appeared on his face. First, he was mocking Chen Jie, saying that he was nothing special; second, he was laughing at himself for actually treating the bear as a real hero.

Thinking of this, Chen Jie walked into the house with the help of Xiaohu.

"Ahem... I am Chen Jiusi, your humble servant. I greet Lord Darughachi, the princess, and my two masters."

Chen Jie saluted with difficulty.

Seeing Chen Jie's pale face, Zhao Ya asked, "Jiu Si, are you okay?"

Chen Jie said weakly, "Haha, thank you for your concern, Princess. I'm much better now, cough, cough, cough... It's just that my chest feels stuffy and unbearable. Cough, cough, cough..."

Seeing Chen Jie like this, He Yishou said, "Yesterday I checked Jiu Si's body and found that his lung meridian was injured. If he takes good care of himself, he should be able to recover."

At this time, Gui Yannian said: "Jiu Si, I heard that you came to the Darughachi Mansion today in a sedan chair. It's very funny, haha..."

Chen Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Master Gui, you must be joking. I was very busy today and didn't have time to hire a carriage at home. My wife's sedan chair happened to be parked in the yard, so I borrowed it. I am so ashamed, so ashamed!"

After hearing this, everyone laughed and said, "Haha... It's not easy for Jiu Si to drag his sick body to attend this meeting."

Everyone comforted him. Chen Jie looked at everyone laughing at him with a smile on his face. As long as they laughed and looked down on him, he felt that he had succeeded.

In order to force Sima Yi to go to war, Zhuge Liang sent Sima Yi a set of flowery clothes, mocking Sima Yi for being an old woman.

And Sima Yi also accepted it with a smile, and wore this flowery clothes and went to the front of the battle in person. As a result, Zhuge Liang was so angry that he vomited three liters of blood and retreated in defeat.

Therefore, for a real man in this world, although face is important, when he is surviving in the cracks, he can also use it to confuse the enemy and make the enemy look down on him.

Chen Jie felt that he had achieved his goal.

As expected, Wang Baobao said, "Okay, everyone, now that Jiu Si is here, let's talk about business."

Chen Jie was stunned when he heard this and asked, "Sir, has something happened again?"

Wang Baobao was silent for a moment and then said, "Jiu Si, I just received an order from the court, ordering me, Master Ya Ya, and Master Gui He to go north immediately to help in the battle in the Central Plains."

"Ah, Princess, Lord Darughachi, you all want to leave?"

Chen Jie asked in surprise, and Wang Baobao said, "Well, we are leaving."

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, "What should I do? The major events in Huangzhou Prefecture have just been decided, and I need you to take charge of the overall situation. If you leave, I will be the only one left. What should I do?"

"How about that, Lord Daruhachi? I will go north with you."

"Although my body is not strong enough, I am willing to serve you with all my heart and soul, and do my best to help you."

Chen Jie took the opportunity to retreat and told Wang Baobao directly that he wanted to follow them north.

After hearing what Chen Jie said, Wang Baobao hesitated, frowned and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, I understand your feelings, but Huangzhou Prefecture must keep a trustworthy person to take charge of the overall situation."

"Yaya and I have important matters to attend to. Masters Kuei and Crane are not good at government affairs, so after much thought, this important task can only fall on you, Jiusi."

"So Jiusi, you must shoulder this important responsibility and not let us down."

Chen Jie was terrified when he heard this: "Sir, I, I am afraid I cannot take on this important task!"

Wang Baobao said: "Jiu Si, you can do it. Ya Ya strongly recommended you to me, and I also think that you can definitely take on this important task. Who else can do this but you? So I'll leave Huangzhou Prefecture to you."

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, I..."

Zhao Ya heard this and said, "Chen Jiusi, you can definitely do it..."

Chen Jie said with a bitter face: "Alas... Then, I can only do it reluctantly, but please remember Huangzhou Prefecture and I, Chen Jiusi, are struggling to hold on. If the mission to the north is completed, please come back and help me."

"Don't worry, Jiu Si, as long as the matter of going north is resolved, I will immediately send people to help Jiu Si solve these problems."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Well, then I will reluctantly take on this important task."

Chen Jie nodded, looking like he was worried and unsure.

Wang Baobao was very satisfied with Chen Jie's expression, so he smiled and said, "Jiu Si, don't worry, as long as the matter in the north is over, I will definitely come back to help you."

Chen Jie looked at Wang Baobao after hearing this, and then said, "Sir, I, I have an unkind feeling, but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

Wang Baobao looked at Chen Jie and said, "You go ahead."

Chen Jie said: "It is like this, my fishing gang has 1,500 brothers, and they are recruited into the Black Knights."

Wang Baobao heard this and said, "Oh, Jiusi, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the brothers in the fishing gang. This time when we go north, I will never let them suffer any injustice."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Sir, that's not what I meant. I was asking if you could leave these black cavalry to me."

Wang Baobao immediately frowned and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Jiu Si, the Black Cavalry is the configuration of my Darughachi Mansion, how can I give it to you!"

Chen Jie heard this and said, "Sir, I wonder if you heard about what happened yesterday."

Wang Baobao asked, "What's the matter?"

Chen Jie said: "Yesterday, Buddha's light appeared in Yong'an Prefecture, illuminating more than fifty miles."

Wang Baobao frowned and asked, "What's wrong with that?"

Chen Jie smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, don't you know that Peng Yingyu is the only one in the world who has such a strong Buddha light?"

Wang Baobao narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Jie and said, "Peng Yingyu, he is actually in Huangzhou Prefecture, but what does this have to do with the Black Cavalry?"

Chen Jie said, "Sir, Peng Yingyu is a remnant of the Zoroastrianism. He is in Huangzhou Prefecture and I am afraid he is planning something bad. I am afraid he will plot against Huangzhou Prefecture again, so I ask you to leave the Black Cavalry to help me defend the city. In this way, even if Peng Yingyu plots against Huangzhou Prefecture, I have the power to help the court defend Huangzhou Prefecture, so I ask you to help me!"

Wang Baobao frowned after hearing this.

He didn't want to return the 1,500 black knights to Chen Jie, but now that Chen Jie said so, he had to think of a better excuse.

But at this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly said, "Third brother, give him back the 1,500 black cavalrymen. It's not easy for Jiusi to defend the city."

After hearing this, Wang Baobao frowned, but for a moment he didn't know how to refuse.

I was in a dilemma for a while.

Zhao Ya said at this time: "Third brother, these black cavalrymen are from Hubei. They may not be able to adapt to the climate in the north and their combat effectiveness will not be very good. It is better to give them to Jiu Si. They can help him defend the city and be loyal to the country."

Wang Baobao was conflicted, but after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it. I will return these 1,500 black cavalrymen to you. You must promise me that you will defend Huangzhou Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, "Yes, sir. As long as the city is there, I am here. If the city is destroyed, I will die."

Chen Jie looked at Wang Baobao and gave his most resolute guarantee.

Seeing this scene, Wang Baobao nodded gently and said, "Okay, in that case, Chen Jiusi will obey your orders."

Chen Jie immediately clasped his fists and said, "Your humble servant, ahem... obey your orders."

"I appoint you as the garrison commander of Huangzhou Prefecture, in charge of all military affairs in Huangzhou Prefecture. You can mobilize 1,500 Black Cavalry, Azure Dragon Guards, and 8,000 guards in the city. You are also responsible for all disaster relief and civilian rescue matters in the prefecture. You must not make any mistakes."

"As you command, I obey!"

Chen Jie clasped his fists.

Wang Baobao finally looked at Chen Jie meaningfully and said, "Chen Jiusi, it was Yaya who insisted on your staying in Huangzhou Prefecture to take up this important position. I hope you won't let Yaya down."

Chen Jie heard this and said, "I will definitely do my best and will not let the princess, the lord, and the court down."

Wang Baobao said, "That's great."

After making some arrangements, Wang Baobao left for Huangzhou Prefecture at noon with three thousand black cavalrymen, led by Zhao Ya and the two elders Guihe.

Before leaving, Zhao Ya found Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi, you should stay in Huangzhou Prefecture and make preparations. I will come back to find you soon."

Chen Jie clasped his fists and said, "Waiting for the princess's call at any time."

After saying that, Zhao Ya looked at Chen Jie and said, "Chen Jiusi..."

Chen Jie looked at Zhao Ya and said, "Princess, what do you want me to do?"

Zhao Ya thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow!"

Chen Jie watched as Zhao Ya followed Wang Baobao away.

When they could no longer see him, Chen Jie raised his lips and said, "Finally he left. In this case, I will have the final say in Huangzhou Prefecture from now on. I will be the king of Huangzhou!"

"Little Tiger."

"My subordinate is here."

"Pass my order, summon all the brothers, and come to see me immediately."

"Yes!"

　I caught a cold and have a splitting headache. I'm not in good shape. That's all for today. I'll sort out my thoughts tomorrow and start the next chapter. Chen Jiusi is also going to start his fight for the world.

　　Just drink some medicine and go to sleep...
