The Return of the Demon

Chapter 266 Farewell

Jiaofangsi.

Yudie sat at the table, holding a letter in her hand, her face flushed.

She received Ning Chen's letter yesterday.

She was very happy to know that Ning Chen was doing well!

But Ning Chen said that her skills were rusty, and she felt a little disappointed.

She had read this letter several times.

"Xiao Xing, is Sister Nanzhi up?"

Xiao Xing nodded, "Yes! I just saw Miss Nanzhi."

Yudie put away the letter and decided to learn ventriloquism from Nanzhi, and wait for Ning Chen to come back and give him a surprise.

Yudie came to Nanzhi's room.

"Sister Nanzhi, I want to learn the flute from you."

"Huh?" Nanzhi looked at her strangely, "Why do you suddenly want to learn the flute?"

Yudie said a little embarrassedly: "Ninglang said that my skills are not good."

Nanzhi was even more surprised, "What bad skills? What does this have to do with you learning the flute?"

"Sister Nanzhi, this flute is not that flute..."

Yudie came closer and whispered a few words in her ear with a red face.

After hearing this, Nanzhi was angry and annoyed, "Your Ninglang is such a bad guy... How can I touch the flute in the future?"

......

Ning Chen just got up when he was far away in Yuzhou.

After washing up, Zhang Youcai brought breakfast.

Ning Chen asked casually, "Haven't Lao Pan and Lao Feng gotten up yet?"

"The two adults went out early."

"Huh? What did you do so early in the morning?"

Zhang Youcai said, "Lord Pan said he was going to see Miss Zisu off."

Ning Chen then remembered that Shanglu and Zisu were leaving Yuzhou today.

He thought for a while and decided to see Zisu off.

"Zhang Youcai, prepare the horse."

"Yes!"

.......

Outside the South City Gate!

Zi Su leaned forward, bowed gracefully, and smiled: "Thank you two adults for seeing me off. We will meet again if we are lucky!"

"Take care on your journey, Miss Zi Su! Take care, Senior Shang Lu."

Shang Lu smiled and said: "If there is a chance, I will go back to the capital and we will meet again then!"

Pan Yucheng said: "If you go to the capital, you must let me do my best to be a good host."

"I will inevitably bother Pan Jinyi then."

"Zi Su, it's getting late, we should get on the road!"

Shang Lu said.

Zi Su looked towards the direction of the city gate with expectation in her eyes.

I sighed softly and felt a little disappointed.

"My two adults, I will take my leave first! We will meet again later."

Pan Yucheng and Feng Qi nodded.

Zi Su got on the carriage.

Shang Lu drove and was about to leave.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves rang out!

"Go!!!"

Ning Chen rode his horse over.

When he got close, Ning Chen turned over and got off the horse.

Feng Qizheng yelled, "Didn't you say you couldn't come?"

Ning Chen glared at him, "When did I say I couldn't come?"

After saying that, he clasped his fists towards Shang Lu, "Please forgive me, senior! I overslept, but at least I made it."

Shang Lu smiled and bowed, "Thank you Ning Yinyi for seeing me off. I feel really bad."

Zi Su lifted the curtain on the carriage window, with a smile on her pretty face and sparkling eyes.

Ning Chen turned his head and looked at her, "Thank you Miss Zi Su for taking care of me these days, take care!"

Zi Su's eyes flashed with disappointment, perhaps she thought Ning Chen would keep her.

But soon, she smiled and said softly, "Take care, Ning Yinyi too!"

"Where are you going to go next?"

Zi Su thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we'll go to Xiuzhou?"

Ning Chen nodded, "If there's a chance to come to Beijing, let me do my part as a host."

Zi Su smiled brightly and gently hummed, "Master said he'll go to Beijing to visit his uncle in a while."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Okay, then we'll see you in Beijing!"

Zi Su nodded gently, "Take care, Ning Yinyi, see you later!"

Ning Chen raised his lips slightly and said, "Take care, Miss Zi Su, there's a long way to go, and we can meet again in the future."

Zi Su's pretty face turned red.

Pan Yucheng looked sideways, and his mouth twitched slightly... What a lewd talent.

Only Feng Qizhen didn't understand at all!

Shang Lu understood, but pretended not to understand, laughed and said, "Take care, everyone. I'll take my leave now!"

Ning Chen looked at the carriage going away, turned his head and asked Pan Yucheng, "Did you check the carriage when leaving the city?"

Pan Yucheng looked at him, "Do you suspect Senior Shang Lu and Miss Zi Su?"

Ning Chen shook his head, "No! It's always right to be careful."

"Ning Chen, can you be a human being? The girl slept with you, and you actually suspect others?"

Feng Qi was complaining.

Ning Chen glared at him.

"No! Miss Zisu just performed her rusty ventriloquism... But who knows if she's sweet-mouthed but treacherous?"

"I'm responsible for the people of the city, so I can't be careless."

Pan Yucheng nodded slightly and said, "I've checked! There are some medicinal herbs, books and the like in the car... I just didn't check them carefully. Should we chase them back?"

Ning Chen: "???"

"Forget it! Senior Shang Lu is highly respected, and it would be too much to chase them back and check them carefully."

Ning Chen turned his horse around and said, "Let's go and take a look at the camp!"

The three of them went around the camp.

The captives were quite honest.

They were originally soldiers of Daxuan.

It is the duty of soldiers to obey orders.

They were just ordinary soldiers. If the Grand Master wanted to rebel, they could only follow his orders.

Now, although they are guilty, Ning Chen allows them to make meritorious contributions... They can see their families in the future, and they are all trying their best to perform.

After a tour of the military camp, they chatted with Mu Anbang for a while, and then the three returned to the city.

.......

The next few days will be relatively free!

Ning Chen has already started to formulate a battle plan.

When the reinforcements arrive, they can attack the border.

That is the territory of Daxuan, and it must be recovered.

What Ning Chen is most worried about is that the border is connected to Wu State. If the bastard Tai Shi surrenders to Wu State, it will be troublesome!

That day, Lei An suddenly brought a middle-aged man with a pointed face to see Ning Chen.

Ning Chen looked curious, "Who is he?"

Lei An said, "General Ning, this man is Pi San. When we attacked the city of Yuzhou, we lost several muskets, but we still haven't found two."

"We finally traced him to this man. This guy picked up the two muskets, but he sold them."

Ning Chen frowned and said in a deep voice, "Who did he sell them to?"

Lei An said, "He can't tell!"

Ning Chen stared at the trembling Pi San and asked sternly, "Who did you sell the muskets to?"

Pi San said tremblingly, "I...I don't know him."

Ning Chen sneered, "Playing dumb in front of me? Do you believe that I will roast you on the fire and feed you to the dogs?"

Pi San was so scared that he trembled all over.

"Please spare me, sir... I really don't know him. I picked up those two muskets. I didn't know they were muskets. I just thought they were peculiar in shape, so I wanted to take them to the black market to exchange for some money."

"But I asked around, no one knew them, and no one wanted them... But just when I was about to leave, someone came to me and offered five taels of silver to buy them."

Ning Chen asked in a deep voice: "Who is he? Male or female? Tall, short, fat or thin? What does he look like?"

Pi San said in a trembling voice: "That... that person was wearing a black robe, a hat and a veil, and I didn't see him clearly."

"But his voice was old, he must be an old man... I also smelled a strong herbal smell from him, maybe he is a doctor, or a drug dealer?"
