Chapter 283 Mr. Pang Is a Bit Tactless

After sending off the Changling Army, Ning Chen returned to the camp.

He called Yuan Long and others.

"Brother Qi, Yuan Long, the border is now stable... I will set off to return to Beijing tomorrow!"

"The soldiers who are left at the border now, after all, were once rebels, so we still have to be more careful... After I leave, we must strengthen the training of the army, and the military regulations can be stricter."

Qi Yuanzhong and Yuan Long nodded.

Yuan Long looked at Ning Chen with worried eyes.

The matter between Ning Chen and the Empress of Wu was like a butcher's knife hanging over his head, which could fall at any time.

If something happened during this return to Beijing, Ning Chen would be in danger!

Ning Chen saw what he was thinking, smiled at him, and gave him a reassuring look.

"Report... General Ning, a small group of enemy troops were found inside the pass."

As the few people were talking, a young and loud voice came from outside the tent.

Inside the pass?

Ning Chen was slightly startled, but soon understood, and smiled: "It should be Pang Yun and others."

"Yuan Long, go and bring Pang Yun to see me."

Yuan Long stood up, "Yes!"

On the snowy field, Pang Yun and his group were ragged and unkempt.

Ning Chen, the bastard, stole their horses and weapons... As a result, they couldn't even hunt. It was cold and cold along the way, and they lacked food and clothing. After more than 20 days of walking, they lost a lot of weight.

Several of their soldiers starved to death.

I thought it would be fine when we reached the border.

But as soon as we arrived near the border, we were surrounded by Daxuan soldiers.

"My name is Pang Yun, I want to see your Grand Tutor Zhao."

The leader was a centurion, who looked at Pang Yun like an idiot and sneered: "Grand Tutor Zhao? Are you talking about Zhao Bokang?"

Pang Yun was shocked. How dare these soldiers call the commander by his name?

Before he could figure it out, the centurion drew out the saber from his waist, "Come on, stretch your neck out."

Pang Yun was shocked and angry, "What do you want to do? Do you know who I am?"

"Of course I know, you bastard from Wu State... Don't you want to see Zhao Bokang? Stretch your neck out, I'll take you to see him now."

Pang Yun realized something was wrong, "What do you mean?"

"Don't you know that Zhao Bokang has been beheaded by my General Ning Chen of Daxuan Ning?" The centurion pointed to the city wall, "Look carefully, Zhao Bokang's head is still hanging on the city gate."

Pang Yun's face changed drastically, and he squinted his eyes to look, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see clearly.

He was full of disbelief, "How is this possible? Zhao Bokang has 140,000 troops, how could Ning Chen take the city gate in just a few days?"

The centurion sneered, "A few days? You are insulting General Ning... I'm not afraid to tell you that General Ning led us and took the city gate in just half a day."

Pan Yun and others were dumbfounded and looked dazed!

"Look, do these Wu country bastards look like idiots?"

The soldiers of Daxuan looked at Pang Yun and others and burst into laughter.

At this time, Yuan Long arrived.

"Pang Yun, follow me, General Ning wants to see you!"

......

Ning Chen held a bowl of hot tea, warming his hands while sipping it.

"General Ning, Pang Yun is here."

Yuan Long's voice sounded outside the tent.

"Come in!"

The curtain was opened, and Yuan Long walked in with Pang Yun.

Ning Chen looked at Pang Yun and couldn't help laughing, "Why are you so embarrassed? If you don't know, you are fleeing from famine."

Pang Yun's eyes were about to spit fire when he saw Ning Chen.

But this is not the place for him to run wild, and he said coldly: "All this is thanks to General Ning!"

They can walk to the border alive, and they have to thank God for not sending a heavy snowstorm these days.

Ning Chen smiled brightly, "Don't thank me, this is what I should do."

Pang Yun's heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were trembling with anger.

Ning Chen pointed to the opposite side of the low table, "Please sit down!"

Pang Yun hesitated for a moment, walked over and sat cross-legged.

Ning Chen poured him a cup of hot tea.

Pang Yun pursed his cracked lips, but did not dare to move.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "I want to kill you, it's just a matter of a knife, there is no need to poison you... I am not like some despicable villains who only know how to play dirty."

Some despicable villains, of course, refer to the Empress of Wu.

Pang Yun did not know that their Empress had drugged Ning Chen. He felt that what Ning Chen said made sense, and there was no need to poison him.

He picked up the bowl of hot tea, not caring about the heat, and gulped down a few big mouthfuls.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Yuan Long, let someone get him some dry food."

"Yes!"

Ning Chen looked at Pang Yun and said, "I don't know what position Mr. Pang holds in Wu?"

Pang Yun sighed deeply, "I have no power or position, and I came from the Ji'an Division."

Ning Chen became interested.

He knew that Wu State had two particularly famous institutions, one was the Ji'an Division and the other was the Wuzhen Division.

Use strategies to keep the world safe.

Use military power to control the officials.

One civil and one military, referring to the Ji'an Division and the Wuzhen Division.

The Ji'an Division was specifically responsible for providing advice to the empress and training secret agents.

The Wuzhen Division, like the Supervisory Division of Daxuan, was responsible for supervising all officials.

These two institutions were exclusively led by the empress.

Ning Chen looked at Pang Yun with a smile, "So you came from the Ji'an Division, then you must know how many spies from Wu State there are in Daxuan, right?"

"How about you tell me about it, and if you tell me one, I'll give you 100 taels of silver, how about that?"

Pang Yun shook his head, "I'm just a small fry, how could I possibly know these top secrets?"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Pang, there is no need to belittle yourself. I have met your Empress Wu. If you are just a little minion, how could she send you to see me?"

Pang Yun was shocked, "Have you met Her Majesty the Empress?"

Ning Chen nodded, "Just yesterday, your empress invited me to have a private meeting five miles outside the pass."

Private meeting?

Pang Yun's face darkened, his eyes sullen: "General Ning, be careful what you say!"

Ning Chen had a playful expression on his face and joked: "Everything I say is true. If you don't believe me, just ask Pan Jinyi... As soon as your empress saw me, she was fascinated by me."

"At that time, I cried and shouted that I wanted to be my concubine, but I righteously refused...I would rather live as a member of Daxuan and die as Daxuan's soul. How can I take a woman from an enemy country? Even if she is the empress. No way."

Pang Yun's chest heaved violently, "Ning Chen, how dare you humiliate my Majesty, the Empress of the Wu Kingdom, I, I..."

I've been waiting for a long time, but I still don't know what to threaten Ning Chen? In anger, he wanted to turn over the table.

"If you dare to lift the table, I will chop off your hand."

Ning Chen said with a smile.

Pang Yun's movements froze. He believed Ning Chen could do it and put down his hand angrily.

At this time, Yuan Long fetched dry food.

Ning very picked up a piece of dry food and handed it over, "Mr. Pang, are you hungry? Come, let's chat while eating...Tell me, how many spies from your Wu Kingdom are there in Daxuan Capital?"

"I really do not know!"

Pang Yun said, reaching out to pick up the dry food. These days, he spent most of his time eating snow to satisfy his hunger. If he was lucky, he could dig some grass roots. His eyes turned green from hunger.

But just when his hand was about to touch the dry food, Ning Chen took the dry food back, took a bite himself, and said vaguely: "Is Mr. Pang a little ignorant?"
