Chapter 396 General Chen Is Dead

The iron horses rushed into the Half Moon Villa like a torrent, with overwhelming momentum.

The leader, dressed in purple... was Geng Jing.

Geng Jing did not see Ning Chen.

He did not look at him either, with a cold face, and said sternly: "Kill, don't spare a single one!"

Good guy, no nonsense!

The Ghost Shadow Gate, from top to bottom, was so scared that their faces turned pale and their hands and feet trembled.

In front of this mighty iron cavalry, they were as small as ants.

Tao Xiuwu and others all looked at Ning Chen.

If there is a glimmer of hope now, it lies in Ning Chen.

Ning Chen lived up to everyone's expectations and smiled: "Lord Geng, long time no see!"

This familiar voice made Geng Jing turn his head and look.

When he saw Ning Chen, he was stunned for a moment.

He raised his hand suddenly and ordered the iron cavalry who were about to charge to stop.

"Ning Chen, why are you here?"

Geng Jing looked surprised.

The mighty cavalry looked at Ning Chen, all with a look of curiosity.

Ning Chen?

Isn't that the Great Xuan Xiaoyao Hou?

Although the people in the army had never seen Ning Chen, they had all heard of this young hero of the Great Xuan.

Ning Chen walked forward slowly, also a little surprised, "It seems that you are not here to see me?"

Geng Jing shook his head, "I didn't know you were here."

"Then what is Geng Ziyi doing here?"

Geng Jing said in a deep voice: "The emperor has ordered that the Ghost Shadow Sect shall not leave any people or animals, and no grass shall grow. The place where it is located shall be turned into scorched earth."

Ning Chen was shocked!

Turned into scorched earth means that not even an ant is allowed to survive.

The people of the Ghost Shadow Sect were so scared that their souls were shattered and their eyes went black.

Ning Chen asked curiously, "Sir Geng, what did the Ghost Shadow Sect do to anger His Majesty?"

Geng Jing frowned and looked at Ning Chen, "You don't know?"

"Know what?"

Geng Jing said in a deep voice, "General Chen is dead!"

Ning Chen's head buzzed, as if a scorched thunder exploded in his ears, making his face pale instantly.

General Chen is dead?

How is this possible?

Ning Chen hoped that he had heard it wrong, and he looked at Geng Jing expectantly, "Are you kidding?"

Geng Jing sighed and said nothing.

Ning Chen's eyes were red, and his chest was about to explode with grief, and his heart seemed to be bitten by countless bugs.

The old man who loved him was dead.

The person who scolded the ministers in the court for him and beat Fan Taihe for him regardless of the law is gone forever.

"Ah..."

Ning Chen's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared to the sky, venting his grief.

He stared at Geng Jing, "How did the old general die?"

Geng Jing said in a deep voice: "He was assassinated by someone from the Ghost Shadow Sect."

Ning Chen's head was buzzing. He turned back suddenly and stared at Tao Xiuwu, "Did you send someone to kill General Chen?"

Tao Xiuwu's face turned pale and he looked at Gu Su.

Gu Su shook his head in panic, "I swear, I never gave such an order."

After Gu Su finished speaking, he looked at several elders of the Ghost Shadow Sect.

Several elders were so scared that they shook their heads, saying that it was not them.

Tao Xiuwu stepped forward, "Ning Chen, this could not have been done by the Ghost Shadow Sect."

"General Chen is the military god of Daxuan... Even if we have the courage to kill him, we dare not send someone to assassinate him."

Ning Chen's eyes were sharp, "Could it be the order from the head of the Ghost Shadow Sect branch?"

Tao Xiuwu hurriedly said, "No! They don't have such great power. To assassinate General Chen, even if someone brings in mountains of gold and silver, we dare not accept such a task."

Assassinating General Chen, what a joke?

This is no longer a matter of killing nine clans, killing eighteen clans is not enough, the dead ancestors must be dug out and crushed to dust, and anyone who talks to you on the street must be killed.

Ning Chen also thinks there is something wrong with this matter.

The people of the Ghost Shadow Sect are killers, not fools.

You have to earn money and spend it.

Besides, the followers around General Chen are all ruthless people from the battlefield. The risk of assassination is definitely at the ceiling level, which is probably not easier than assassinating the emperor.

The Ghost Shadow Sect would only accept such a mission if they were crazy.

Ning Chen turned around and looked at Geng Jing, "Sir Geng, is there any evidence that the Ghost Shadow Sect assassinated the old general?"

Geng Jing said, "The person who assassinated General Chen has been captured, and he personally admitted that he was from the Ghost Shadow Sect."

"Is he still alive?"

"He committed suicide after saying that!"

Ning Chen frowned, "Sir Geng, don't you think this is a frame-up?"

"It doesn't matter."

"Huh?"

Geng Jing said expressionlessly, "The Ghost Shadow Sect was already on the wanted list of the Supervisory Department, and they couldn't be spared if they were not touched before."

"Now, His Majesty is furious, and the imperial edict has been issued. Regardless of whether the Ghost Shadow Sect is the real murderer, we must act in accordance with the imperial edict!"

"Ning Chen, His Majesty's order is to investigate thoroughly, and anyone who is related to the assassination of General Chen must die, and all three clans must be killed, leaving no one alive."

Ning Chen's face changed drastically.

The people of the Ghost Shadow Sect were even more frightened and pale.

In front of this mighty cavalry, they didn't even have the courage to resist.

Geng Jing stared at Ning Chen, "Do you want to protect the Ghost Shadow Sect?"

Ning Chen nodded, "The Ghost Shadow Sect taught me martial arts, if possible, I want to repay this favor."

Geng Jing shook his head, "Ning Chen, have you ever thought that if you let the Ghost Shadow Sect go, I would be disobeying the order... If you disobey the order, the whole family will be executed."

Ning Chen's expression froze, and he was in a dilemma.

He couldn't let the Ghost Shadow Sect cause Geng Jing's whole family to be executed.

His mind raced, and he quickly thought of a foolproof plan.

Geng Jing said: "Ning Chen, you appeared in the Ghost Shadow Gate, and you are also implicated... You can't save yourself, don't think about saving others."

Ning Chen thought for a long time, and said: "Sir Geng, I want to go to the capital to see the emperor!"

Geng Jing shook his head, "It's useless! His Majesty is furious, no one can save the Ghost Shadow Gate... If you want to save the Ghost Shadow Gate, are you worthy of General Chen?"

"Not only can you not save the Ghost Shadow Gate, but you will also anger His Majesty and get yourself involved."

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Only by finding the real murderer can we be worthy of the old general's spirit in heaven. "

"I want to find the real murderer and execute him by slow slicing myself, instead of letting the Ghost Shadow Gate become a scapegoat and letting the real murderer go unpunished."

Geng Jing said in a deep voice: "What if the real murderer is the Ghost Shadow Gate in the end?"

Ning Chen turned around and glanced at the people of the Ghost Shadow Gate, "That means they have betrayed my trust... If the real murderer is really them, I will personally slaughter them all, leaving no one alive!"

"Sir Geng, can you surround them without killing them? Give me some time, let me return to Beijing and find out the truth!"

Geng Jing frowned and fell into deep thought.

"Okay, I promise you!"

Hearing Geng Jing's promise, Ning Chen felt a strange feeling in his heart.

Something is wrong!

Geng Jing is also an old man in the world. He can lead the Supervisory Department, so his brain is definitely not stupid.

Moreover, he is deeply trusted by His Majesty... and the reason for trust is naturally because of loyalty.

Geng Jing actually disobeyed the order, gambled the lives of his entire family, and agreed to his unreasonable request?

His relationship with the Ghost Shadow Gate is definitely not as good as Geng Jing's.

Geng Jing naturally understood this. Even if he slaughtered the Ghost Shadow Sect, he would not hate him... Besides, he was just following orders, so he could not blame him.

There is definitely something wrong.

Could it be that Geng Jing wanted to slaughter the Ghost Shadow Sect after he left?

But if so, it would be no different from slaughtering the Ghost Shadow Sect now?

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at Geng Jing... What is this guy doing?
