Chapter 204: Attacked

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, what is this fairy powder?"

The right minister leaned over and asked.

Emperor Xuan looked ugly, "Ning Chen, explain to them."

Ning Chen nodded, and immediately explained the dangers of fairy powder!

After hearing this, the officials' expressions suddenly changed.

This thing can actually shake the foundation of a country and lead a country to destruction.

Looking at several drug addicted officials being held down by the guards, the courtiers had to believe it even if they didn't believe it.

Li Hanru stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this thing is very harmful. We must trace the source and eliminate the root cause."

The right prime minister also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I kindly ask your Majesty to pass the decree to all states and counties, and no one is allowed to touch this fairy powder."

Emperor Xuan had a cold face and nodded slightly.

Ning Chen thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to put an end to fairy powder, you must use severe punishment."

"This matter should be included in the Daxuan Laws and Regulations."

Emperor Xuan nodded.

He glanced at the ministers coldly, "Who else has taken the fairy powder? Now come forward and I can forgive you."

"If I find out, I will kill you without mercy!"

After Emperor Xuan finished speaking, several more officials knelt down tremblingly.

"Any more?"

Emperor Xuan shouted sternly, with a frighteningly ugly expression on his face.

The ministers were so frightened that they did not dare to breathe.

But fortunately no one knelt down.

Emperor Xuan said angrily: "It is my decree to send all these dogs to the prison of the Supervision Department."

"I hope you don't know the dangers of fairy powder. If the poison is successfully detoxified, I won't embarrass you... But then, resign yourself!"

"Nie Liang, take these bitches down."

Nie Liang hurriedly said: "My lord, I obey the order!"

Soon, all the officials who had taken the fairy powder were taken away.

Emperor Xuan rubbed his brows in confusion.

"Ning Chen?"

"I'm here!"

Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice: "This matter will be handed over to the Supervision Department to investigate to the end. I want to know who is causing trouble behind the scenes?"

Ning Chen leaned over and said, "Master, take the order!"

Emperor Xuan glanced at the ministers and said a little tiredly: "Everyone, please go back... You all know how harmful the fairy powder is, so don't let me worry about it anymore."

"Ning Chen, come with me! Ji Aiqing is waiting outside."

Emperor Xuan turned around and walked towards the Yangxin Hall.

Ning Chen followed him into the Yangxin Hall.

Emperor Xuan looked tired and said in a deep voice: "Ning Chen, I also know that you don't have much respect for the royal family? But it concerns the royal family's face, and Prince Fu's affairs must be kept secret."

If it were anyone else who didn't have any respect for the royal family, they would have been kicked off a long time ago.

But Emperor Xuan just couldn't bear to kill Ning Chen, he really liked this kid.

Ning Chen hesitated to speak, but finally held back, leaned over and said, "I understand!"

In fact, he wanted to remind His Majesty that King Fu had a problem.

He could see that His Majesty was very tolerant of King Fu.

He has no evidence now, and urine tests cannot be done in this world. It is not just because he said King Fu has not smoked fairy powder.

If you say it rashly without evidence, you will be accused of being framed by King Fu.

Prince Fu is your Majesty's younger brother, and framing the prince is a serious crime.

Therefore, Ning Chen held back.

Let’s wait until we find the evidence, right?

"Ning Chen, this matter concerns the country and the country. This matter must be investigated to the end."

Ning Chen nodded, "I will do my best."

Emperor Xuan hummed and said, "You should go back earlier. When you go out, ask Ji Mingchen to come in and see me."

"Your Majesty, don't be too troubled. The dragon body is important... I'm leaving!"

Ning Chen bowed and turned around to leave, but stopped, turned around and said:

"Your Majesty, I would like to request an order to search Prince Fu's Mansion."

Emperor Xuan's expression changed slightly and he didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, he waved his hand and said: "You go down first and let me think about it!"

Ning Chen didn't bother and turned around to leave.

Regardless of whether Emperor Xuan agrees or not, he will secretly investigate King Fu.

First, His Majesty is sincerely good to him.

Secondly, he is alive and well now, all because of His Majesty's grace.

Therefore, he not only has to hold His Majesty's thigh tightly, but also protect it.

"Does the royal family really have no family ties? You are my biological brother."

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen's back with dim eyes and whispered to himself.

Ning Chen walked out of the Yangxin Hall, and Ji Mingchen, Minister of the Ministry of War, was waiting outside the door.

"Master Ji, the fairy powder has spread to the Ministry of War. Shao Hongbai has also taken the fairy powder. I wonder if anyone else is involved?"

"Artillery is crucial, Lord Ji, you must be more careful!"

The two of them were old acquaintances, so Ning Chen didn't talk in so many roundabout ways and pointed out the key points directly.

Ji Mingchen nodded slightly, "I made an oversight, thanks to you. If the blueprints of muskets and artillery are lost and fall into the hands of the enemy, I will die to my death."

Ning Chen shook his head, "I don't blame Master Ji. I'm afraid this is your first time hearing about fairy powder, and you don't know its dangers."

"By the way, Sir Ji, hurry in. Your Majesty is waiting for you."

Ji Mingchen nodded and walked into the Yangxin Hall.

Ning Chen stretched and walked towards the outside of the palace.

...

Harem, Furong Palace.

The queen's big face was ashen and her eyes were ferocious.

She looked at the old eunuch in front of her and asked in a cold voice, "Have everyone made arrangements?"

The old eunuch hurriedly said: "Everything has been arranged!"

He hesitated for a moment and said: "My Majesty, wouldn't it be bad to take action at this time? If my Majesty is involved, it will be troublesome."

The queen laughed sinisterly, "You are wrong, this is the best time to get rid of Ning Chen."

"All the civil and military officials know that he is in the palace... Ning Chen was assassinated after leaving the palace, and all the civil and military officials are suspects. No matter how they investigate, they can't find it on me."

"First it was the gold mine, and now it's the magic powder. We have been operating for so long? It's all ruined in his hands. Even Prince Fu is now imprisoned... He is simply our nemesis."

"This bastard must not be kept any longer. He must be eliminated no matter what... I have a feeling that Ning Chen is the biggest variable in the success or failure of our uprising."

"And the prince, what a waste... He has been given the things for so long, and General Chen is safe and sound. Ning Chen was still jumping up and down. "

The old eunuch's eyes flickered, "Madam, there has been no movement from the prince, could it be that he has become suspicious of us?"

The queen's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she snorted coldly: "So what if he is suspicious? It's too late to get off the boat now!"

"Just because he killed the second prince, he will never get off our boat... He must stay on the boat honestly until he dies."

"You go down, if Ning Chen dies, remember to tell me the good news as soon as possible."

The old eunuch leaned over, "Yes!"

......

The palace was too big, and it took Ning Chen more than half an hour to walk to the palace gate.

He rode Diao Chan and rushed to the Supervisory Office.

The cold wind was whistling.

There was no one on the street.

At this time, I should hug Yudie and sleep... Ning Chen thought.

But he still had to go to the Supervisory Office to interrogate Feng Cheng.

When he walked to Dayang Street, Ning Chen suddenly felt uneasy.

At this time, Diao Chan also let out an irritable neigh.

Whoosh!!!

A sharp sound of breaking through the air sounded.

Ning Chen completely reflexively turned over and dismounted.

An arrow flew past the horse's back.

Grass!!!

Ning Chen cursed in his heart, unsheathed his long sword, and patted Diao Chan's butt, "Run..."

As he spoke, his eyes swept around, and then rushed towards the shop next to him like a cheetah.

Clang clang clang, arrows shot almost grazing Ning Chen's feet and hit the ground, and then were bounced off the stone slabs on the ground.

Ning Chen rolled on the ground and rushed to the front of the shop, and his back hit the door of the shop with a bang.

At this time, a voice came from inside: "It's closed, come back tomorrow."

"Fuck you..."

Ning Chen cursed angrily, and at this moment, the sound of breaking through the air sounded again.

Ning Chen rolled along the wall.

With a few clang clang clang sounds, several sharp arrows shot at the wooden door of the shop.

After a round of arrow rain, Ning Chen took the opportunity to sprint and hid behind the corner in front.

At this time, a figure jumped down from the roof above.

Ning Chen raised his hand and shot an arrow.

Whoosh!!!

Before the opponent had time to turn around, he was shot in the back by an arrow, screamed, and fell to the ground on the spot.

Ning Chen hurriedly loaded the crossbow with arrows.

But before he could load the arrows, several figures jumped down from the roof and rushed towards him like lightning.

Ning Chen didn't care about loading the crossbow, and directly smashed the crossbow out, then dodged from the corner and ran away.

As a result, as soon as he came out, two long swords with cold light slashed at him.

Ning Chen was shocked and sweated, and hurriedly retreated to avoid the opponent's attack, then rushed forward and swept across with a knife while the two hadn't reacted yet.

One of them was too slow to react and was stabbed in the throat. He staggered back, holding his neck, and the knife fell to the ground, blood gushing out from his fingers.

The other one took a step back, dodged... and then slashed at Ning Chen with a knife.

Clang! ! !

Sparks flew everywhere.

Ning Chen blocked the opponent's knife with his knife, and then the dagger in his left hand tore his throat like lightning.

However, two long knives attacked from behind.

Ning Chen flew directly to the left, rolled on the ground, and stood up.

Damn it! ! !

Ning Chen groaned inwardly.

He was surrounded.

Although he killed three, there were still more than a dozen people on the other side. These people were all dressed in black, with black cloth covering their faces, revealing only a pair of cold eyes.

"Who sent you here? Do you know what the crime of assassinating the Supervisory Department's Silver Clothes is?"

The other party did not answer, holding a long knife, slowly approached Ning Chen.

Ning Chen suddenly looked into the distance and said excitedly: "Geng Ziyi, you are finally here?"

The group of men in black subconsciously followed Ning Chen's line of sight...but they didn't see anyone at all.

Just when they turned their heads or turned their heads to look, Ning Chen moved.

He raised his knife and slashed at a man in black.

The man in black reacted a little too slowly and raised his knife to block in panic.

Dang! ! !

Ning Chen's knife slashed on the opponent's blade, and the powerful force pressed the opponent's knife and cut into the opponent's shoulder.

Ning Chen tried to draw his knife, but the knife was stuck in the bone.

He threw away the knife and rushed out, escaping the encirclement.

Ning Chen ran without hesitation.

"Chase!"

A cold voice sounded.

The man in black who reacted chased after him.

Ning Chen found an alley in front of him and went in.

After he went in, he didn't run, but crouched and pressed against the wall.

The first man in black who rushed into the alley didn't expect that Ning Chen didn't run away. Before he could react, he was stabbed twice in the stomach.

He staggered backwards, holding his stomach, blocking the black-clad man behind him.

Ning Chen held the dagger tightly and ran away.

The injured black-clad man was pushed away, and the black-clad man behind him caught up... The alley was pitch black, and even Ning Chen's shadow could not be seen.

A group of people chased into the alley.

When the last person passed, Ning Chen slid down from above like a ghost. Because the alley was not wide, Ning Chen used his feet to kick the walls on both sides and hid on it.

Ning Chen slid down and appeared behind the last black-clad man, covering his mouth with one hand and wiping his neck with the other hand, clean and neat.

After gently placing the body on the ground, Ning Chen followed the last person and did the same action... covering his mouth with one hand and wiping his neck with the other.
