The Return of the Demon

Chapter 358 Are You Worthy Enough to Fight Ning Chen?

Pan Yucheng looked at Li Hongzhuo who looked serious and couldn't help laughing.

"Ning Chen said something that I think is right."

Li Hongzhuo looked at him puzzledly, "What did you say?"

Pan Yucheng said, "Ning Chen said that when people are extremely panicked or angry, their brains are not much smarter than pigs?"

"Why do you think I am here? Who sent me?"

Li Hongzhuo immediately said, "I know that Ning Chen sent you, but Pan Jinyi is a smart man and should know the principle that good birds choose trees to live in."

"Ning Chen has an affair with the Empress of Wu. Once this matter is exposed, he will die without a burial place. You will not only get no benefits by following him, but will also be implicated by him."

Pan Yucheng's eyes were full of mockery.

"Lord Li, I know that Ning Chen and the Empress have an affair, earlier than you know."

Li Hongzhuo's face changed drastically.

Pan Yucheng said lightly, "And, I also know that the Empress is pregnant with Ning Chen's child."

Li Hongzhuo's eyes suddenly widened, his face full of shock.

"Lord Li came to Wu State, didn't he want to find solid evidence that Ning Chen and the empress had an affair? The child in the empress's belly is the best evidence."

"Unfortunately, you can't go back to Daxuan, and it's useless to know!"

After saying that, Pan Yucheng stepped closer to Li Hongzhuo.

Li Hongzhuo trembled, looked down, and a sharp dagger pierced his abdomen.

Li Hongzhuo's eyes were full of horror, and he grabbed Pan Yucheng's clothes tightly, "You, you... why?"

Pan Yucheng said indifferently: "Although high positions and generous salaries are tempting, some things are more important... If you want to harm Ning Chen, I will kill you!"

This is near the Regent's Palace, and ordinary people usually don't dare to approach... Moreover, it's late now, and there is no one around.

Looking at Li Hongzhuo who has no breath, Pan Yucheng sneered, "Are you worthy of fighting with Ning Chen?"

.......

On the other side, Ning Chen and his friends drank until late at night before returning to Zunwu Hall.

Pan Yucheng heard the sound and walked out of the room.

"Boss, why didn't you go find us?"

Feng Qizheng was a little drunk, and asked with a big tongue.

Pan Yucheng said: "I didn't find you, so I came back first!"

"We drank a lot, go to bed early!"

He stepped forward to help the drunk Ning Chen and sent him back to the room.

As soon as he entered the room, Ning Chen's eyes became clear again.

"How is it?"

Pan Yucheng nodded slightly, "It's all done!"

"How do you know he will definitely go to Song Tiancheng tonight?"

Ning Chen smiled indifferently, "He came to Wuguo to find evidence... I met with the empress today, and slapped him again after leaving the palace. Naturally, he is full of resentment towards me and must hope to get evidence as soon as possible."

"Old Pan, go to bed early! Tomorrow it will be the regent's turn."

Pan Yucheng hummed and turned to go out.

Ning Chen sat at the table, poured himself a glass of water, and began to review the next plan over and over again, checking for omissions.

......

The next day, Ning Chen was still sleeping soundly, and the door was knocked.

"Ning Chen, come out...something bad has happened!"

It was Feng Qizhen's voice.

Ning Chen sat up, yawned, rubbed his eyes, and walked over to open the door.

"You're calling for my soul so early in the morning?"

"Huh? Are Lord Fu and Lord Li here too?"

Fu Lu and Li Ruishi looked solemn.

Pan Yucheng said in a deep voice: "Ning Chen, Lord Li is dead."

Ning Chen was slightly startled, then laughed: "Don't joke, Lord Li was still alive and kicking yesterday, how could he die?"

Fu Lu stepped forward and said solemnly: "Lord Ning, Lord Li did have an accident...He was found dead this morning in an alley near the Regent's Palace."

Ning Chen's face changed from surprise to anger.

"Are you telling the truth?"

Fu Lu nodded, "Lord, calm down!"

Ning Chen's face was gloomy, "How did he die?"

Fu Lu sighed and said: "He was killed with a knife!"

Ning Chen's face was terribly gloomy.

"Who did it?"

Fu Lu shook his head.

Ning Chen roared: "My Daxuan envoy died in the Regent Palace of your Wu Kingdom, and you actually told me that you don't know who the murderer is?"

"Are you bullying me that Daxuan has no one? I tell you... If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, Daxuan's million cavalry will definitely crush your Wu Kingdom."

Fu Lu and others changed their faces.

"Lord Ning, calm down first... We will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Ning Chen's eyes turned red and he cried loudly, "Old Li, you died so tragically... You and I were friends regardless of age, and we were still chatting and laughing together yesterday, but today we are separated forever."

"You also said that when you return to Daxuan, you will marry your granddaughter to me... Why did you die like this?"

"Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you... Even if we meet in battle, I will seek justice for you."

Shen Min, Feng Qizhen and others were all stunned.

When did Ning Chen have such a good relationship with Li Hongzhuo?

Pan Yucheng stepped forward to comfort him, "Ning Chen, don't be too sad. I believe that Wuguo will give us an explanation."

"I just heard from Lord Fu that Lord Li crawled all the way after being stabbed... In the end, he ran out of energy and lost too much blood, and died in that deserted alley."

Ning Chen wiped away the non-existent tears and asked, "Crawled? Where did he crawl out from?"

Pan Yucheng said: "According to Master Fu, the blood stains extended from the Regent's Palace to the alley... Moreover, before Master Li died, he wrote three big characters in blood."

"What word?"

"Song Tianyi."

Ning Chen frowned, "Who is Song Tianyi?"

Pan Yucheng shook his head.

Ning Chen's eyes flickered and he suddenly said: "I understand, the murderer is the regent."

Pan Yucheng's face was full of confusion, "But the regent's name is Song Tiancheng?"

"The word "Song Tianyi" is the first stroke of the word "Cheng"... Mr. Li must have been too weak at the time to write the word "Cheng"."

"I understand. Yesterday at the court, the regent lost to us in both civil and military affairs. He was resentful and killed Mr. Li to vent his anger...Old Li, it was me who harmed you and made you die in a foreign land!"

After Ning Chen finished speaking, he looked at Fu Lu suddenly, his eyes like daggers, "Where is Song Tiancheng?"

Fu Lu hesitated, "This, this..."

"Don't tell me, right?" Ning Chen said angrily: "Feng Qizheng, Chen Chong... you two hurry up, return to the border, pass on our military order... let the 200,000 troops at the border rush to the border of Wu State immediately."

"yes!"

Feng Qizheng and Chen Chong took the orders.

Fu Lu and others' expressions changed drastically, they were about to start a war.

"Master Hou, calm down, you must not do it!"

Ning Chen said coldly: "If you don't want the two countries to meet each other at war, just tell me where Song Tiancheng is?"

Fu Lu hesitated for a long time, and then said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty and the Regent already know about this matter. Now we are discussing with the civil and military officials in the palace how to catch the murderer?"

Ning Chen roared angrily: "The murderer is Song Tiancheng. The thief calls for catching the thief... I don't think you are discussing how to catch the murderer or how to protect the murderer, right?"

"I want to meet Her Majesty the Empress!"

Fu Lu hurriedly reassured, "Master Hou, calm down, we will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

"Okay, you go into the palace now and tell the empress that I will see the murderer within one day, otherwise don't blame me for being rude... You go now, I am waiting for you here!"

Fu Lu had a look of helplessness on his face and turned to look at Li Ruishi, "Master Li, you come into the palace...I will accompany the Marquis!"

Li Ruishi nodded. He didn't want to stay with the furious Ning Chen.

After Li Ruishi left, Fu Lu looked at Ning Chen with a meaningful look.

Ning Chen understood.

Just a small frame-up cannot bring down Song Tiancheng... Moreover, what they want is not to bring him down, but to kill him and completely eliminate future troubles.

The fun has just begun, and the highlight is next!
