Chapter 165 Return

Ning Chen's eyes were cold, "You'd better tell the truth, otherwise I can't imagine my methods?"

Zuo Ting Wang snorted coldly, "This king doesn't even bother to lie."

"We have cooperated many times, and this person is also very trustworthy. He will do what he promised later."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes. He still believed in what Zuo Ting Wang said.

Kong Yongchun was Zuo Xiang's man, and he was the military supervisor of Beilin Pass. He could send a letter to Zuo Ting Wang.

It seems that the person who really wants to kill him is Zuo Xiang.

Ning Chen asked indifferently: "What else have you cooperated with before?"

Zuo Ting Wang said: "They are all jobs to get rid of some generals of your Daxuan. He paid the money and we did the work. We have always cooperated happily."

"But I didn't expect that the prey would become the hunter this time."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "What about other secret letters?"

"Burn after reading, I will burn it every time I finish reading it...but I forgot to burn it this time. To be precise, I didn't expect you to appear in my Beidu Wangting."

Ning Chen looked at him and sneered.

"Lord Zuo Ting, when people overestimate themselves, they should not underestimate others too much... Although Ning is not very smart, he is not very stupid either."

Ning Chen asked word by word: "I'll ask again, where are the other secret letters?"

"If you dare to say that they were burned, I will chop you off now... I don't believe that you will burn them after reading such a good handle."

As Ning Chen spoke, he slowly drew out his knife, revealing his murderous intent.

Lord Zuo Ting stared at Ning Chen with a complicated look in his eyes and did not speak for a long time.

"General Ning, when I first received the secret letter, I did not take you seriously... I underestimated you. You are indeed a very scary opponent."

Lord Zuo Ting's eyes moved and stared at an inconspicuous old wooden box in the corner. The lid of the box was open and a soldier had searched it just now.

"The secret letters are all in the interlayer of that box."

Ning Chen looked at a soldier.

The soldier understood and walked over to fumble for a while, and found that there was indeed an interlayer at the bottom of the box.

Open the interlayer, take out a stack of secret letters from it, and then hand it to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen counted them, there were seven secret letters in total.

In other words, Kong Yongchun, the bastard, killed seven generals of Daxuan.

He opened one at random, and the content of the secret letter was to ask King Zuo Ting to help kill a man named Xie Wen.

Ning Chen had never heard of this name, but Liang Jingwu must know it.

Ning Chen looked at King Zuo Ting, "These secret letters are not signed, what makes you say that this is written by Kong Yongchun to you?"

King Zuo Ting said: "There is a secret mark on each secret letter. A small hole will be punched in the lower right corner of the paper with an embroidery needle, representing Kong Yongchun."

Ning Chen raised the secret letter in his hand and checked it carefully. There was indeed an imperceptible small hole in the lower right corner.

"General Ning, since you didn't let the soldiers bully the women of my Beidu Wangting, I will give you another piece of news for free... As far as I know, Kong Yongchun is actually just a small figure, and there are big figures behind him who control everything."

"You Daxuan people like to fight among yourselves."

Ning Chen snorted coldly, put away the secret letter, and sneered: "Prisoners have no right to laugh at others."

Immediately, he waved his hand and asked someone to take him away.

At this time, Yuan Long walked in quickly.

"General Ning, the search is almost over!"

Ning Chen smiled, "How many good things have been found?"

Yuan Long grinned and said: "There are more than 20 boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, more than 5,000 war horses, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, hundreds of women, and more than 3,000 captives."

"Pan Jinyi is registering, he knows the exact number."

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

"Come on, take me to see!"

Ning Chen came outside, Pan Yucheng was registering with a pen, and the boxes on the ground were piled up into a small mountain.

He casually opened a box, and the gold inside almost blinded his titanium dog eyes.

Ning Chen casually asked: "How much gold, silver and jewelry are there here?"

Pan Yucheng looked at the record book in his hand and said: "Seventeen boxes of gold, ten boxes of silver, and about three boxes of jewelry."

"I just asked the soldiers of Tuoluo Kingdom, they often transport gold, silver and jewelry back to the capital of Tuoluo Kingdom. Therefore, there are so few gold, silver and jewelry in the Beidu Royal Court."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, thinking, this is still not enough?

Pan Yucheng said: "The army that went to Beilin Pass rode away tens of thousands of war horses. Now there are only about 5,000 war horses left in the Beidu Royal Court... There are about 30,000 cattle and sheep."

"As for food and grass, there are very few... It is said that when the Tuo Luo army went to Beilin Pass, they took almost all of them away."

Ning Chen nodded slightly and said: "All the gold, silver and jewelry are loaded on the car, and all the war horses and cattle and sheep are taken back."

Pan Yucheng said: "The trouble now is that we don't have enough manpower... We don't know how to herd, and it's really not easy to bring these tens of thousands of livestock back."

Ning Chen smiled and said: "We can't, but the soldiers of Tuo Luo can."

"In addition to those women, those prisoners of war must also be taken back."

Pan Yucheng was surprised and said: "Do you mean to release all those women?"

"What else? With a group of old and weak women and children, should we hurry on or take care of them? Let's release them all."

Pan Yucheng nodded slightly, "Okay, listen to you!"

"Notify them and set off tomorrow morning to return to Beilin Pass."

Pan Yucheng nodded and hummed!

That night, Ning Chen ordered to slaughter sheep and cattle to reward the soldiers of Daxuan.

After more than ten days of running around, everyone finally had a hot and full meal.

The next morning, the army was ready to go.

At Ning Chen's command, the army left the Beidu Royal Court in a mighty manner.

The soldiers of Tuoluo drove cattle and sheep.

They were not unwilling, because Ning Chen spared the old, weak, women and children, and left them some food and grass. Although they could barely fill their stomachs, they would not starve to death.

Ning Chen was not a saint, but he felt that it would be too much of a drag to take a group of old, weak, women and children on the road.

If the journey could be shortened by half, he would take people back.

On the way back, Ning Chen did not follow the path trampled by the Tuoluo army, but deliberately avoided it.

He was not clear about the situation at Beilin Pass now?

However, with Liang Jingwu's ability, the Tuoluo army should not be able to get any advantage?

If they met the Tuoluo army returning on the way back, it would be troublesome.

Although there was King Zuo Ting as a hostage, Ning Chen was still worried.

When he went back, he rode a war horse, but because the cattle and sheep could not walk fast, and he was carrying a group of captives, plus the detour, it took almost more time than when he came.

Ning Chen sent scouts to return to Beilin Pass at full speed... If Liang Jingwu defeated the Tuo Luo army, let him send someone to meet him.

"Old Pan, let me see your booklet?"

Pan Yucheng glanced at him, wanting to say something but stopping.

Ning Chen stretched out his hand and looked at him with a smile.

Pan Yucheng hesitated for a moment, but still handed the booklet to Ning Chen.

Ning Chen took it and opened the booklet, which recorded the harvest this time.

He flipped through it for a while, his eyes flickered, and then put the booklet in his arms.

Pan Yucheng frowned slightly, "Don't mess around, all the spoils of war must be confiscated... According to the Great Xuan Law, those who embezzle will be beheaded!"

Ning Chen said, "Oh," and then smiled, "What you recorded here is inaccurate. I will write a new one when we return to Beilin Pass."
