Chapter 467: Happy Events

On the way of Ning Chen retreating to the Nanjing border, Kang Luo defeated Gao Liguo's 60,000 troops!

This is thanks to Ning Chen. Kang Luo vented all his resentment towards Ning Chen on Gao Liguo.

Moreover, this battle was fought beautifully.

A few defeated the many.

The 60,000 troops of Gao Liguo were defeated.

Not only did they capture more than 5,000 people from Gao Liguo, but they also seized a large amount of supplies.

The victory of this battle was too important, which boosted the morale of the scattered army of South Vietnam.

Kang Luo is indeed a character. Although he lost to Ning Chen this time, he did not give up on himself, but aroused his fighting spirit.

He began to study Ning Chen seriously.

Ning Chen's fighting style is always unexpected.

Kang Luo looked at the map in front of him, thinking about how to deal with Ning Chen?

At this moment, Wei Jian came.

"Fourth Prince, Ning Chen withdrew his troops!"

"What?"

Kang Luo was shocked.

Wei Jian said: "I just received news that Ning Chen has given up Jianxuanguan and other three cities, and is about to withdraw to Daxuan Border."

Kang Luo was stunned.

Ning Chen's actions always surprised him.

Three cities that were finally conquered, just gave up like that?

"Ning Chen, Ning Chen, what are you doing this time?"

Kang Luo murmured, and after a while, he said: "Send someone to explore again."

"Yes!"

......

A few days later, Ning Chen had withdrawn to Daxuan Border.

This time the harvest was too great.

Back at the border, Ning Chen convened a meeting with the generals.

Tong Yuanzhou was responsible for rewarding the soldiers.

Yuan Long was responsible for counting the supplies, and Pan Yucheng and others went to help.

And Ning Chen came to a tent.

Fang Zhengqing was imprisoned here.

After not seeing him for a while, Fang Zhengqing, who was already thin, became skinny and had deep eye sockets.

Ning Chen looked at him and asked with concern: "Master Fang, I haven't seen you for a month or two. How come you are so thin?"

Fang Zhengqing looked depressed.

He knew that he was really finished this time.

Ning Chen walked over and sat down, smiling: "Master Fang, let's chat!"

"Master Fang, how many years have you been at the border?"

Fang Zhengqing sighed, "Five years!"

"Do you miss your family?"

Fang Zhengqing nodded.

Ning Chen said: "Your family is in the hands of the fifth prince, right?"

Fang Zhengqing's face changed drastically, and he looked at Ning Chen in astonishment.

Ning Chen smiled slightly, "Don't be so shocked, I know the fifth prince is playing dumb."

Fang Zhengqing asked subconsciously: "Your Majesty also knows?"

He knew that Ning Chen was his majesty's favorite minister. Since Ning Chen knew that the fifth prince had been playing dumb, then his majesty must have known it too.

Ning Chen shook his head, "Your Majesty doesn't know yet, because I don't have solid evidence to expose the Fifth Prince."

"Lord Fang, I need your help."

Fang Zhengqing shook his head, "My Lord, please forgive me, I can't help you!"

"Because of your family?"

Fang Zhengqing nodded.

Ning Chen said, "I have sent someone to send a letter back to Beijing, asking the Supervisory Office to save your family."

Fang Zhengqing smiled bitterly, "My Lord, you should know that if you collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, you will be punished by killing nine clans."

Ning Chen said, "I can't save all your family members, but saving one person is not a problem... I can keep your Fang family's bloodline going."

Fang Zhengqing's eyes lit up.

Ning Chen continued, "At this point, you can't escape the crime of killing nine clans... If you don't want the Fang family to be completely cut off, you can only rely on me."

Fang Zhengqing stared at Ning Chen closely, "If my Lord can keep my Fang family's incense going, I am willing to return to Beijing and testify against the Fifth Prince."

Ning Chen looked at him without saying anything.

Fang Zhengqing hurriedly said, "My Lord, please believe me... My granddaughter was abused by that beast and tortured beyond recognition. She was only fourteen years old when she died."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

Fang Zhengqing's tone was filled with hatred, "If it weren't for the sake of protecting my family, I would never help him."

"My Lord, at this point, I can't escape the great crime of killing my entire clan... If my Lord can keep a trace of incense in my room, I'm willing to give everything."

Ning Chen patted his shoulder.

......

Beijing, morning court!

Civil and military officials lined up on both sides.

Emperor Xuan sat on the dragon throne with an irrepressible smile on his face.

Recently, there have been many happy events.

First, Lipin was pregnant with a dragon seed.

Then, another good news...The fifth prince recovered.

This happened a month after Ning Chen left.

The fifth prince was able to recover, all thanks to a wandering Taoist, Guo Wuxiang.

This man had white hair and a youthful face, and he looked like a Taoist immortal. He met the fifth prince by chance and concluded at a glance that the fifth prince was stupid because he lacked the heavenly soul among the three souls of heaven, earth and man.

And in front of everyone, he used his magic to recall the lost heavenly soul for the fifth prince.

At that time, many people saw a dragon shadow holding the fifth prince's heavenly soul, appearing on the roof where the fifth prince was, and then falling into the room.

Then the fifth prince was fine!

The fifth prince now behaved politely and knew when to advance and retreat, and he was completely different from before.

Moreover, Guo Wuxiang concluded on the spot that the fifth prince had the appearance of an emperor.

Gradually, this matter spread in the capital, and the people believed it... because many people saw with their own eyes that the missing heavenly soul of the fifth prince was sent down from the sky by a dragon shadow.

According to Guo Wuxiang, the fifth prince was not stupid, but an immortal who came to the mortal world to experience the flesh and the heavenly soul remained in the immortal world.

If it were any other emperor, he would have killed someone if he heard that he had the potential to be an emperor, even if that person was his own son.

But Emperor Xuan was a benevolent emperor. Instead of being angry, he was very happy.

Because the position of crown prince was still vacant.

The crown prince was the foundation of the country.

Emperor Xuan was troubled by this.

Because several princes had problems one after another, only the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince were suitable to be crown princes.

But the fourth prince was leading the army outside.

The fifth prince was stupid and foolish.

The sixth prince was accompanied by books all day long and had a withdrawn personality.

None of them were suitable to be crown princes.

Now, the fifth prince's soul has returned, and his manners are generous and decent, quite like an emperor... Emperor Xuan was naturally very happy.

In addition, the court officials were very satisfied with the fifth prince now.

Therefore, after the fifth prince recovered, Emperor Xuan took him with him... After a period of observation, he found that the fifth prince's treatment of people satisfied him.

Especially in terms of political views, the Fifth Prince's ideas always coincide with his.

Emperor Xuan was very happy and began to teach him carefully.

Although the Fifth Prince has not yet been appointed as the crown prince, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a done deal.

There are more good news than just these two.

I just received a victory report from the South.

"My dear ministers, I have good news to share with you."

Emperor Xuan raised the memorial in his hand, with an unconcealed joy on his face, and said: "This is a victory report from the South."

The ministers were slightly stunned.

A victory report from the South?

Didn't I say it before?

A month ago, Your Majesty received a victory report from the South, saying that Ning Chen successfully repelled the Nanyue army.

Emperor Xuan smiled and said: "This is the second victory report... Ning Chen fought against Nanyue and broke through three cities in Nanyue in a row, seizing countless supplies."

Breaking through three cities in Nanyue in a row?

The ministers were immediately shocked!

This is a unique thing in the history of Daxuan.
