Chapter 316: The Worst Dog to Fight a Lion Is a Tibetan Mastiff

King Duan stared at Ning Chen blankly, unable to regain his senses for a long time.

Good guy, this kick in the sky and on the ground made him confused.

After a while, King Duan came back to his senses, shook hands with Ning Chen, and said with a smile: "I am not wrong about the person, you and I have the same interests, and we will cooperate happily!"

After letting go of his hand, he quickly picked up the jug, his face full of distress... This was Mei Yinghong brewed by himself.

"The prince just said that he has saved a lot of money in Xiliang and Wu Kingdom. How much is it specifically?"

King Duan looked at Ning Chen, who was smiling like a fox, with wary eyes, "That's the money I earned, and the money earned later belongs to you and me."

Ning Chen curled his lips, "What business does King Duan have?"

Prince Duan's eyes were wary, "You don't want to kill the donkey, do you?"

After saying that, I felt something was wrong and immediately changed my mind, "Are you trying to burn down bridges?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you underestimate Ning. In fact, you said so much, but only one sentence moved me."

"What words?"

"The prince said that there is no grievance between you and me, and peace is a win-win situation... Ning thinks that he has a certain bottom line, but a penny can stump a heroic man, and Ning cannot do such a thing as cutting off his own financial path."

Prince Duan smiled and said, "You and I are really like-minded. We love both money and beauty. I heard that Ning Yinyi stays at Jiaofangsi eight out of ten days?"

"When I first came to Xiuzhou, the palace was not ready yet... I stayed in Jiaofangsi for half a month."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, half a month? You are not afraid of running out of energy and dying.

Prince Duan continued: "Ning Chen, you are a smart man. It is useless for me to talk too much... The trust between us will be slowly built through cooperation, right?"

Ning Chen nodded slightly, agreeing.

"Your Majesty, does Gu Xingfa know a lot of things?"

King Duan shook his head, "He is just a little guy, what can he know?"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Just because the prince falsely conveyed the imperial edict and mobilized the troops privately... If he were to stab him, it would be enough for the prince to drink a pot."

King Duan was silent for a while, "Actually, Gu Xingfa is quite useful, it would be a pity to kill him!"

"But if you want him dead, I will obey you. Consider it a gift from me to you for our cooperation."

Ning Chen smiled and said: "It's not that I want to kill him, but that he knows that the prince is deploying troops privately. I am thinking about the prince."

Prince Duan chuckled, "You don't have to hide it, I appreciate this very much... Since you are an enemy, you don't have to be polite!"

Ning Chen smiled calmly, "The last time I fought with a lion was with a Tibetan Mastiff... He was a pug, baring his teeth at me and trying to kill me. What does the prince say I should do?"

King Duan nodded.

"Somebody come!"

One of King Duan's guards walked into the courtyard in response.

"My lord, what are your orders?"

King Duan waved, "Come here with your ears!"

The guard came over and King Duan whispered a few words in his ear.

The guard nodded and turned around.

After a while, Gu Xingfa came in with him.

"Your Majesty!"

After Gu Xing gave the ceremony, he stared at Ning Chen with cold eyes.

Ning Chen glanced at him lightly.

Gu Xingfa's eyes became even colder, he cupped his fists and said, "My lord, can you leave it to the general to handle this?"

King Duan smiled and said, "How are you going to deal with it?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. In the end, the general will make sure that he wants to live but not die. If he dares to go against His Majesty, his bones will be shattered and ashes will be thrown away."

King Duan smiled lightly and glanced at the guards behind Gu Xingfa.

The guard drew his sword and stabbed Gu Xingfa through the body.

Gu Xingfa looked back with difficulty, and then looked at King Duan, with unwillingness and disbelief in his eyes... He opened his mouth, and blood surged wildly.

He didn't say a word, his head drooped feebly.

King Duan sighed deeply, waved his hand and said: "Take his body out and tell the soldiers outside that Gu Xingfa colluded with the former prefect and governor to plant fairy flowers... When the matter was exposed, he privately led his troops to surround me and Ning. Yinyi, who deserves death, has been executed!"

"yes!"

The guards left with Gu Xingfa's body.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes. This King Duan is a smart man and decisive in killing, which is quite interesting!

"My lord, are you planting fairy flowers? Are the fourth princes involved?"

King Duan was slightly startled and looked at him in confusion, "Why do you ask that?"

Ning Chen said: "To transport the fairy powder to Xiliang Kingdom, it must pass through the Western Territory. The fourth prince guards the Western Territory. How can it be transported out without his nod?"

Prince Duan smiled and shook his head, "The Fourth Prince doesn't know about this!"

"Among the princes, the second prince is the smartest, but it's a pity that Guo Hui Yi Yao... the prince has some brains, but the third prince is a brainless and reckless man."

"The fourth prince is the same. Although he is brave, he lacks strategy. He is not aware of himself and is blindly confident...it is impossible for me to cooperate with him."

"Xiliang and Daxuan have always had a trade treaty. It is not difficult to transport the fairy powder out. There is no need to cooperate with the fourth prince."

Ning Chen nodded slightly, he was skeptical about what Prince Duan said.

Prince Duan stood up and said: "I will give a statement to vindicate the matter of Yan Wenbo and Liu Zhichen... After the girl named Zisu is rescued, I will ask her not to assassinate me again. If there is any chance, This time, I will not be merciful."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Yan Wenbo and Liu Zhichen were wronged. They were framed by the former prefect and governor. What does it have to do with the prince?"

"Your Majesty went to Zhezi to rehabilitate Yan Wenbo. Zisu should be grateful."

King Duan was startled, and then he laughed, "It saves trouble to cooperate with smart people!"

"Ning Chen, the Chinese New Year is the day after tomorrow. You can't make it back to the capital... Why don't you go to the palace to celebrate the New Year? The palace has the best wine and the most beautiful dancers."

"But those dancers can only be seen but not touched. They are all carefully selected by me. Sometimes I am reluctant to touch them."

Ning Chen shook his head, "It's better to forget it. The bird will suffer from the eyesore."

"At this time, we shouldn't get too close."

King Duan nodded slightly, "Then I won't keep you... Tomorrow morning, someone will bring you the charges against Qiu Mingde and others. They have all pleaded guilty and been taken into custody. Take it back to the capital to receive the reward. Just treat it as A New Year’s gift from me!”

"The documents used to rehabilitate Liu Zhichen and Yan Wenbo will be sent directly to the capital."

Ning Chen folded his fists and leaned over, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Prince Duan hummed, "Then I will leave first!"

"My lord, wait a moment! Have you forgotten something?"

Prince Duan looked at him in confusion, "What did I forget?"

"Diao Chan."

"What?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "My horse."

"It turns out that horse is called Diao Chan. How about giving it to me?"

Ning Chen shook his head, "It's not that Ning is stingy, that horse was given to me by General Chen."

Prince Duan nodded, "Okay, then I won't take advantage of others! But it's such a good horse. Just by bringing it back to the palace, it kicked and injured several of my people."

"When I return home, I will have someone bring it to you!"

Ning Chen leaned over: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please go slowly!"
