The Return of the Demon

Chapter 184 To Me, You Are All the Same.

Kang Luo stared at the iron thing in Ning Chen's hand with fear.

What on earth is this? The sound was like thunder, accompanied by fire and black smoke... I must get one to study it when I have the chance.

His eyes fell on Ning Chen, "I have learned from Ning Yinyi's methods!"

Ning Chen turned over and got off the horse, walked down to Kang Luo, and said casually: "What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. The fourth prince knows nothing about my methods. There will be plenty of time to learn from him in the future!"

When Ning Chen stood still, he stepped on the battle flag of Nanyue.

Several guards of Kang Luo glared at them, and their right hands had already grabbed the hilt of the knife.

Ning Chen glanced at them and sneered disdainfully.

Kang Luo waved his hand to stop several guards.

Ning Chen looked down at the two dead horses, shook his head, and sighed: "What a pity, I followed the wrong master!"

"Come on, hurry up and clean up the road... and prepare a horse for the fourth prince?"

The city defense soldiers stepped forward and dragged the carriage and the dead horse to the side of the road.

A city defense soldier led a horse over.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Fourth Prince, please!"

Kang Luo jumped on the horse.

He glanced at the iron thing in Ning Chen's hand and asked, "May I ask what this is?"

Ning Chen threw the musket to Pan Yucheng and said with a smile: "Dog-beating stick!"

Kang Luo's mouth twitched and he didn't say anything.

The two rode side by side.

The caravan followed behind.

"Bah... You dare to raise the flag in my Great Xuan Imperial City, this is the end."

"That's right, General Ning captured the King of Beiting alive, and a poor prince of a small country dares to be arrogant."

"It's so refreshing, no one can be arrogant in front of Ning Yinyi."

The people of Great Xuan were talking about it, and when they mentioned Ning Chen, their faces were full of pride and complacency.

Li Hanru and Shen Min followed behind, and the two looked at each other... If it weren't for Ning Chen, the Nanyue Kingdom would have raised the flag and walked to the Four Barbarians Pavilion, and the Great Xuan general would have lost face.

"Ning Yinyi only brought a thousand people, rushed thousands of miles, killed through the Beidu Royal Court, captured the King of Zuoting alive, and had zero casualties. I'm very curious... How did you do it?"

On the way, Kang Luo couldn't help asking out of curiosity.

Ning Chen smiled slightly, "The Great Xuan has many soldiers and generals, and each of them is good at fighting one against ten. It is not worth being proud of taking down a Zuo Ting King."

"But the fourth prince, I heard that the recent battles were all fought under your command, and there was no defeat?"

Kang Luo chuckled, "The soldiers of Nanyue are brave and good at fighting. It is not worth being proud of winning a few battles against a hundred."

Ning Chen snorted, "If there is a chance, I have to experience the bravery of the soldiers of Nanyue... I hope you won't let me down then!"

"I look forward to seeing Ning Yinyi on the battlefield."

Kang Luo looked at Ning Chen with a fighting spirit in his eyes.

Ning Chen smiled calmly and said, "If I were you, I wouldn't expect to see me on the battlefield... I'm afraid that by then, the Fourth Prince will not come to Daxuan as an envoy, but as a captive."

"Hahaha..." Kang Luo laughed loudly, "I admire Ning Yinyi's arrogance, but I'm not the King of Zuo Ting."

Ning Chen glanced at him and said calmly, "To me, you are no different."

"Since the Fourth Prince wants to see me on the battlefield so much, then Ning will do as you wish."

Kang Luo laughed, "Then I will wait for Ning Yinyi on the battlefield."

Ning Chen smiled slightly, "Okay, it's a deal!"

While talking, they came to the Four Barbarians Pavilion.

Ning Chen also met the national teacher of Nanyue.

An old man with white hair and beard, Taoist style, and a proud face.

Ning Chen's mouth corners slightly raised, these people are stepping stones for him to be a marquis and prime minister in the future.

Seeing the Nanyue envoys settled, Ning Chen said hello and left... Li Hanru and Shen Min are enough here.

......

Coming out of the Siyi Pavilion, Ning Chen said:

"It's still early now, everyone accompany me to see the new house given by His Majesty?"

Pan Yucheng and others agreed happily.

But when they rode to the place, they were all dumbfounded.

Several people looked at each other.

Ning Chen was confused. The mansion in front of him turned out to be the residence of the Left Prime Minister.

It's just that the Left Prime Minister fell, and this place has been sealed off.

"Are we looking in the wrong place?"

Ning Chen muttered.

Pan Yucheng said: "All the way, there is only this empty house on Changxuan Street, it should be here."

"You overthrew the Left Prime Minister, and with the favor of His Majesty, it's not surprising that this house was given to you."

Ning Chen's face wrinkled into a ball, very angry and disgusted, "How unlucky is this?"

Pan Yucheng and others were speechless.

Feng Qi was grinning, "If the left prime minister knew that you had overthrown him and occupied his house, he would probably be so angry that he would die on the spot."

Ning Chen shook his head, "If I remember correctly, this house has six or seven entrances... How many maids and servants do I have to hire? Just the annual repairs and maintenance costs a lot of money... I don't want it, whoever wants it can."

Pan Yucheng said indifferently: "Your Majesty gave it to you, do you dare not refuse it?"

Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "Then I will sell this house and change it to a smaller one, right?"

Pan Yucheng's forehead was black, "You dare to sell the house given to you by your Majesty? Don't you want your head?"

Ning Chen wanted to cry but had no tears. Just hiring maids and servants, repairing and maintaining this house, I'm afraid it would cost more than ten thousand taels of silver a year.

I'll talk to His Majesty later and change him to a smaller house. This one is too big.

......

At the same time, in the Four Barbarians Pavilion.

Kang Luo came to the room of the Imperial Master, his face gloomy.

"Fourth Prince, what happened?"

Kang Luo said in a deep voice: "It seems that we have come here in vain. The left prime minister has fallen."

"What?" The Imperial Master of Nanyue was shocked, "When did it happen?"

Kang Luo sighed and said: "It happened in the past few days. I just got the news."

The Imperial Master of Nanyue could not hide his shock, "This is a person who is above ten thousand people. How could he suddenly fall?"

Kang Luo said word by word: "Ning Chen did it. He overthrew the left prime minister."

The Imperial Master of Nanyue was stunned. After coming to his senses, he frowned, "What about our deal?"

Kang Luo shook his head and smiled bitterly, "The left prime minister has fallen, and I don't know where he has hidden? What deal is there to talk about?"

After speaking, Kang Luo's eyes became sharp,

"What does the Imperial Master think of Ning Chen?"

The Imperial Master's eyes He was a little gloomy, "This boy has extraordinary means... Fourth Prince, this man cannot be left alive."

"With a thousand men and zero casualties, he can capture Zuo Ting Wang alive... If he fights against my Nanyue Kingdom in the future, I wonder how many soldiers of my Nanyue will die in his hands?"

"Moreover, he can actually defeat Zuo Xiang, who has been in the court of Daxuan for decades. It is simply unbelievable."

Kang Luo nodded slightly and said: "The attitude of the people on the street today shows that his prestige in Daxuan is not low... Ning Chen, it's interesting!"

"I will send someone to investigate him carefully. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle... To deal with such a person, you must kill him with one blow, and never give him a chance to breathe and counterattack."

.....

Here, Ning Chen has come to the Jiaofang Division and is drinking.

Yudie and Nanzhi accompany him.

"Damn it... Today, the fourth prince should be chopped off together!"

Feng Qizheng took a sip of wine and muttered.

Ning Chen looked at him speechlessly, "Did he offend you?"

"If you planted a flag in my Great Xuan Emperor City, you would have offended me... And I think there shouldn't be anyone more powerful than you in this world."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, "How is he more powerful than me?"

Feng Qizheng said seriously, "He is taller than you, more handsome than you, and has a nobler status than you... He is no worse than you in leading troops and fighting."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched.

"Your eyes are for peeing, right? How is he more handsome than me?"

"As for flat chest, he just looks better than you."

Ning Chen kicked him, "That's the bonus of the clothes. If you want to be pretty, you wear mourning clothes. He wears white, so he looks a little better than me... And as for flat chest, I hope all the girls you find tonight are flat chested."

Chen Chong smirked, "Ning Chen is too young, there is no comparison."

Ning Chen stared at him, "You'd better talk about age?"

"I'm talking about age, what do you think?"

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, "Get out of the way, bitch!"

Several people were joking around, Nanzhi and Yudie were obediently pouring wine for everyone on the side, and they didn't interrupt.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Miss Nanzhi, do you feel bored when you are with Lao Pan?"

Pan Yucheng is a taciturn person and doesn't talk much.

Nanzhi smiled brightly, "Not boring, Pan Lang is a very nice person! Nanzhi also wants to thank Mr. Ning, otherwise I would have missed Pan Lang."

Ning Chen smiled, "You're welcome! I'm also thinking about Lao Pan's sexual happiness... Does he usually talk a lot when he's with you?"

Nanzhi smiled lightly, "Not bad!"

Ning Chen smiled wickedly, "I thought Lao Pan was just working hard when he was with you."

Pan Yucheng blushed and glared at him.

Suddenly, Pan Yucheng looked behind Ning Chen.

Ning Chen looked back subconsciously.

I saw Gao Ziping walking up the stairs.

"I guessed you were here."

Gao Ziping walked over and said with a smile.

This is the Jiaofangsi, everyone comes here to have fun, so there are not so many scruples when talking.

Otherwise, Gao Ziping would have to salute Pan Yucheng first.

After Gao Ziping sat down, he looked at Ning Chen and said, "Someone came from the palace just now. His Majesty has ordered you to attend court tomorrow."

"Me?" Ning Chen was startled and complained, "Why should I, a little silver-clad man, attend court?"

Thinking that he would get up earlier than the rooster tomorrow, he suddenly felt that the wine in his hand was not fragrant.

He stood up and said, "I'm going to sleep... I have to get up early tomorrow!"

Gao Ziping said, "Don't, you're leaving just after I got here."

"You don't have to attend court tomorrow, you guys continue drinking... I'll pay for the wine."

Ning Chen took Yudie's hand and went upstairs.

The next day, it was Yin time.

Ning Chen opened his eyes reluctantly at Yudie's soft voice urging him.

"What time is it?"

Ning Chen yawned and asked.

"It's Yin time!"

Yin time is from 3 to 5 in the middle of the night.

Because it's time to attend court from Mao time, which is from 5 to 7 in the morning.

So, generally, civil and military officials are waiting outside the palace gate at Yin time.

Ning Chen was considered to have woken up late.

Ning Chen turned over and lay on Yudie, hugging her soft body, and said vaguely: "Let me take a nap for a while, I feel like I didn't even sleep for half an hour."

"Who asked Ning Lang to stay up so late last night?"

Ning Chen rubbed his cheek against Yudie's little face, grinning, "It's not that Ning is not a human being, it's just that Yudie is too charming."

Yudie's little face blushed and she showed a sweet smile.

"Ning Lang, time is running out. Can I help you change clothes?"

Ning Chen struggled several times before he reluctantly climbed up from her body. "You continue to sleep. I can do it myself."

He got out of bed, picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on. After a simple wash, he went out and rode Diao Chan straight to the palace.

Ning Chen lay on Diao Chan's back weakly, shivering with cold.

This hour was the coldest.

The sky was dark and there was no one on the street.

Ning Chen wrapped his cloak around his body and sped up.

Fortunately, he caught up.

Ning Chen walked into the court, looked left and right...Where should he stand?

There are rules for standing, and you can't stand casually.

Just when Ning Chen was confused, a shrill voice sounded: "Your Majesty is here!"

Immediately, Emperor Xuan appeared with the prince and eunuch Quan.

All the civil and military officials knelt down.

Ning Chen had no choice but to kneel down on the spot.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Emperor Xuan raised his hand, "My dear ministers, please stand up!"

When everyone stood up, Emperor Xuan saw Ning Chen standing in the middle of the hall, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Ning Chen, do you have something to say?"
