Chapter 421: Threats at the Door
After Nie Liang came to his senses, he signaled the imperial guards to wait there, and he rode forward alone.
"My Lord, are you okay?"
Ning Chen smiled, but his face was covered with blood, and his smile was a little creepy.
"I'm fine. Did His Majesty send you here?"
Nie Liang nodded, turned over and dismounted, and said: "His Majesty ordered me to lead people to search along the Tianhe River to pick up the Lord!"
He looked at the corpses on the ground, "What the hell is going on? Who are these people?"
Ning Chen wiped the blood off the knife on a killer and said slowly: "Someone tried to kill me and sank the warship I was on."
"These people are from a killer organization called Dark Moon Tower."
Nie Liang's face changed in shock, "Sinking the warship and assassinating the Lord...are you really bold? Aren't you afraid of being executed by the three clans?"
"My Lord, do you know who ordered these people?"
Ning Chen glanced at him and said: "The fifth prince!"
Nie Liang's expression froze.
"My Lord, this is not a joke. How could it be the fifth prince?"
Ning Chen smiled and said nothing.
Sure enough, no one would believe that these people were sent by the foolish and stupid Fifth Prince.
He walked to the shore, washed the blood off his hands and face, whistled, and Diao Chan ran over.
Ning Chen jumped on his horse and asked, "Old Nie, have Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizhen returned to Beijing?"
Nie Liang shook his head, "I don't know! His Majesty summoned me urgently and asked me to bring people to pick you up... I don't know what happened before I saw you."
Ning Chen frowned, he guessed that Feng Qizhen and Pan Yucheng should have fallen into the hands of the other party.
"Let's go, back to Beijing!"
Nie Liang left a group of people to deal with the bodies, and the others escorted Ning Chen back to Beijing.
......
Two days later, Ning Chen arrived in Beijing smoothly.
Even if the killers of Dark Moon Tower were bold, they would not dare to confront the imperial guards.
After returning to Beijing, it was already late!
Ning Chen asked Nie Liang to report to the palace, and he would go to the emperor tomorrow morning.
In fact, it is not too late to go to the palace to see the emperor at this time.
But Ning Chen has more important things to do.
After separating from Nie Liang, he rode his horse directly to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
After tying up his horse, Ning Chen went forward and knocked on the door.
"Who is it at this late hour?"
An impatient voice sounded from inside.
The third-rank official in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the doorman of the Prime Minister's Mansion is more arrogant than ordinary officials in the capital.
The door opened.
The man who opened the door was a man in his fifties. He frowned and looked at Ning Chen... He felt that the young man in front of him looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was?
"Who are you looking for?"
Ning Chen put his hands behind his back and said indifferently: "Go in and inform the Right Prime Minister, and say that Ning Chen wants to see you!"
Ning Chen?
The doorman's face changed drastically, and he asked tentatively: "You, are you Lord Ning?"
Ning Chen nodded.
The impatience on the doorman's face disappeared immediately, and his face was full of flattery, "Lord, please come in!"
The doorman took Ning Chen to the main hall and asked someone to serve tea.
"Lord, wait a moment, I will go to inform the Prime Minister!"
Ning Chen hummed.
Menzi looked at Ning Chen with a flattering smile, as if waiting for something?
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, nothing... Lord Marquis, wait a moment!"
Menzi nodded and retreated.
Ning Chen snorted coldly. He naturally understood that Menzi was waiting for the reward, but not everyone was qualified to take his reward.
Menzi came out of the main hall, looked back, and spit... It was rumored that Lord Ning was generous, but I didn't expect him to be so stingy and not give any reward at all. The rumor was indeed unreliable.
About a cup of tea, the right prime minister appeared!
"Lord Marquis, please forgive me. I am busy with official business and neglected it."
The right prime minister bowed and said with a smile.
Ning Chen smiled calmly and said, "Right Prime Minister, are you busy plotting against me?"
Right Prime Minister's expression froze slightly, "Your Majesty, you are joking."
Ning Chen said calmly, "I am here safe and sound. Are you disappointed?"
Right Prime Minister's smile was a little stiff, "Your Majesty really likes to joke. I heard that the warship you were riding on had an accident. I couldn't sleep at night... Seeing that Your Majesty was safe and sound, I was relieved!"
"Can't sleep at night?" Ning Chen chuckled, "You should be worried about my life."
"If you want to sleep well, please send some killers next time... The chickens and dogs you sent are not enough for me to kill."
Right Prime Minister narrowed his eyes slightly, covering the brilliance in his eyes, and didn't say much? He said, "Your Majesty, please have some tea!"
"I won't drink tea."
Ning Chen stood up and walked to the right prime minister step by step, his eyes sharp and intimidating.
Right Prime Minister was not to be outdone and met Ning Chen's gaze.
Ning Chen put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Right Prime Minister, I know Pan Yucheng and Feng Qi are in your hands. Please take good care of them."
"As long as they are alive, I can forgive many things. If anything happens to them, I swear, I will fight to the death!"
Right Prime Minister frowned and said in a deep voice, "Are you threatening me, Lord?"
Ning Chen only uttered one word, "Yes!"
Right Prime Minister's expression suddenly froze.
"This Prime Minister is the head of all officials. If I were afraid, I would not be here today!"
Ning Chen stared at him and said word by word, "Left Prime Minister also said the same thing to me... But the grass on his grave is now more than two meters high."
Right Prime Minister's eyes suddenly shrank.
Ning Chen smiled evilly, "If I go crazy, even I am afraid... I can bear to send someone to kill me. But if you hurt my friends, don't blame me for revenge by any means."
"The Prime Minister is smart. I won't let you hand them over. I know it's unrealistic... I just want you to take good care of them. This shouldn't be difficult to do."
"I've been traveling all the way and I'm exhausted. I won't bother you any more. Goodbye!"
Ning Chen didn't give the Right Prime Minister a chance to speak and turned to walk outside.
When he reached the door, his footsteps paused and he said lightly: "If something happens to the two of them, I guarantee that some of their three clans will be killed, leaving no one alive."
The Right Prime Minister stood up and stared at Ning Chen's gradually disappearing back, his face livid.
No one has ever dared to threaten him. Even His Majesty would give him three thin faces, not to mention that someone dared to threaten him at his door.
If an ordinary person threatened him like this, he would definitely disdain it... Of course, ordinary people wouldn't dare to threaten him either. Those who threatened him would never see the sun the next day.
But he really didn't dare to ignore Ning Chen's threat.
For the most powerful Marquis in Daxuan now, he didn't dare to have a trace of contempt.
Left Prime Minister, Empress, Grand Master... These powerful people, their fates are all in front of us, all of which are lessons from the past.
......
Ning Chen came out of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but did not return to Ning Mansion, but came to Wuyou Escort Agency.
After making sure that no one was following, he led Diao Chan and went in behind.
"Greetings, Lord Marquis!"
In the room, Silent bowed and saluted.
Ning Chen sat down and watched him get straight to the point, "Did you gain anything in the two months I was away?"
Silent leaned over and said, "Lord Marquis's guess is correct. Someone did smuggle a group of young women into that house... I followed Lord Marquis's instructions and sent someone to secretly pass a message to the Supervisory Department, but the Supervisory Department did not take action."
