The Return of the Demon

Chapter 471 No One Dares to Stop

Ning Chen led his people and passed through the city.

Riding horses and whips all the way, covered with stars and moon.

Although there were many obstacles along the way.

But today, who dares to stop Daxuan Xiaoyaohou?

But it also took some time.

Finally on the eighth day, Ning Chen rushed back to the capital.

The entire capital was solemn.

During the national mourning period, all entertainment activities are prohibited and the whole country mourns.

The whole city is white and the people are wearing linen.

Ning Chen's eyes were sore. When he left, His Majesty said that when he returned in triumph, he would lead all the civil and military officials out of the city to greet him.

But what greeted him now was the city full of white people.

He took a deep breath and stopped his tears.

Ning Chen endured his grief and came to the palace.

The available news is that His Majesty's body has been transported to Huangling.

It turned out that the fifth prince learned that there were troops stationed along the way and could not stop Ning Chen, so he advanced the burial time.

As long as the tomb door is sealed, everything will be settled.

The emperor's tomb is full of mechanisms, and it is impossible to open the tomb door once it is sealed.

Moreover, no one dared to open it.

Ning Chen did not dare to delay and led his people straight to Huangling.

...

The entire Huangling was completely surrounded by the Dragon Guard Army, the City Defense Army, and the Forbidden Army.

In front of Huangling Tomb, the burial ceremony has been completed.

There was a lot of crying!

All civil and military officials burst into tears.

The fifth prince cried the hardest and almost fainted several times.

Ning Chen led his people to the foot of the mountain, but was stopped by Wei Longjun.

"Your Majesty, the general is also following orders, please forgive me, Lord Marquis!"

Luo You, the new captain of the Weilong Army, said.

"Where's Mu Zhen?"

Ning Chen asked calmly.

Luo You said: "Commander Mu has been captured for corruption and bribery, and he will be executed by Queen Qiu!"

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. After Yuan Long led the Ning'an Army, Mu Zhen was Ning Chen's newly trained commander.

He has never seen this Luo You before. If he dares to stop him, he must be from the fifth prince.

Ning Chen looked at him, "You want to stop me?"

Luo You leaned over and said, "I don't dare! It's just that Your Majesty has a purpose and is worried that Lord Ning will be too sad... Lord Ning has just returned to Beijing, so why don't you go back to your mansion to rest?"

Ning Chen was so angry that he laughed, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"I am responsible for commanding the Dragon Guard Army and the City Defense Army... Now I order you to get out of the way!"

Luo You was a little disdainful and said: "Master Marquis, it is difficult to disobey the emperor's order...Does the order of the Marquis override His Majesty's?"

Ning Chen's face was cold, "Luo You, right? I would like to ask you, what is the crime for those who disobey military orders?"

Luo You's expression changed, he hesitated, and said: "Anyone who disobeys military orders will be killed!"

"very good!"

Uh-huh! ! !

Ning Chen drew his sword and chopped Luo You directly, blood splattered three feet.

The faces of the surrounding Dragon Guards changed drastically and they were panicked.

Ning Chen shook off the blood on his knife, looked around, and said sternly: "Some of you have followed me to attack Fuzhou and regain the border...you should be aware of my methods."

"I have been ordered to command the Dragon Guard Army and the City Defense Army... As long as Your Majesty does not withdraw your order, you will be my soldiers."

"I don't want to rebel. Your Majesty has been so kind to me. Now I just want to go up the mountain to worship and see His Majesty on his last journey...Who dares to stop me?"

"Weilongjun obeys the order and retreats!"

Wei Longjun was startled, and then someone shouted: "Follow your orders!"

The person in front of me is General Ning.

Many of them had followed Ning Chen to attack Yuzhou and recapture the border, and they were well aware of Ning Chen's methods.

As a soldier, who doesn’t admire him?

Besides, they were originally led by Ning Chen.

Ning Chen's current prestige in the military is not inferior to that of General Chen.

Wei Longjun did not dare to stop Ning Chen.

Even the city defense troops did not dare.

But what Ning Chen didn't expect was Nie Liang.

Nie Liang led the imperial army and imperial guards to block Ning Chen's way.

Nie Liang looked embarrassed, "Master Hou, go back!"

Ning Chen stared at him, "You want to stop me too?"

Nie Liang sighed deeply, "Master Marquis, it is hard to disobey the emperor's order... His Majesty is also afraid that you will be too sad. After a few days, when your mood has calmed down, you can come to pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Commander Nie, you know how His Majesty treats me... Now that His Majesty is buried, I have come to pay my respects, but you are blocking me at every step. What are your intentions?"

Nie Liang's face was full of distress, "Master Hou, you know I didn't mean to embarrass you, but..."

"Step aside!"

Ning Chen interrupted him coldly.

"Commander Nie, no one can stop me today... Do you want to try my military prowess?"

Nie Liang's expression changed greatly.

Ning Chen said word by word: "Today, I will kill anyone who stops me... Even if Anlong Mountain is a river of blood, I will not hesitate!"

Nie Liang's face was full of embarrassment, "Have you thought about it? You are resisting the decree."

Ning Chen looked at him and said, "Commander Nie, if you still consider me a friend, please make way."

Nie Liang hesitated, gritted his teeth for the last time, and said in a deep voice: "Get out of the way!"

The imperial guards and imperial guards quickly moved out of the way.

...

Outside the imperial mausoleum, a young eunuch ran to the fifth prince and whispered a few words in his ear.

The fifth prince's expression suddenly changed, and murderous intent surged in his heart.

The Dragon Guard Army, the City Defense Army, the Forbidden Army... none of them dared to stop Ning Chen.

He looked to the Prime Minister.

The right minister understood the idea, wiped his tears, stepped forward to help the fifth prince, and said sadly: "Your Majesty, the time is almost up, let the late emperor rest in peace?"

The fifth prince burst into tears, nodded silently, and said with sobs: "Seal the tomb door!"

"Father...!"

"His Majesty...!"

For a while, there was a lot of crying.

In the crowd, General Chen looked forward to it, looking anxious, but he still couldn't see Ning Chen.

General Chen showed up by himself.

Upon learning of the death of His Majesty, General Chen showed up on his own initiative.

He had been hiding in the palace. If he didn't jump out by himself and was discovered by the Fifth Prince, his fake death would become real death.

General Chen suddenly jumped out, scaring everyone.

The most panicked were the Fifth Prince and the Right Prime Minister.

Thanks to General Chen, he had been delaying the burial time of Emperor Xuan.

Otherwise, when Ning Chen came back, he could only worship Emperor Xuan across the mountain.

Seeing that Ning Chen didn't show up, General Chen became anxious. Once the tomb door was sealed, everything would be too late.

He always felt that there was something wrong with Emperor Xuan's death.

But now he only had power, not real power, and couldn't do much.

"Stop!"

Just as the craftsman was about to seal the tomb door, General Chen didn't care about anything else, stood up and stopped him loudly.

The ministers were shocked and looked sideways.

The time for sealing the tomb door was calculated. General Chen's action was not in accordance with etiquette and rules.

The right prime minister turned around and frowned, saying: "General Chen, the time has come. We can't delay."

General Chen said: "Wait a little longer... Ning Chen is on his way. He will be here soon."

The ministers looked at each other. Ning Chen is back?

They didn't know that Ning Chen was back.

General Chen knew that Ning Chen was climbing the mountain, and it was Geng Jing who told him.

The right prime minister scolded: "Even if Lord Ning comes back, we can't delay the time... Don't you want the late emperor to rest in peace soon?"

The ministers were silent.

Delaying the time and blaspheming the spirit of the late emperor is a capital crime.

The fifth prince cried and shouted: "Seal the tomb door!"

"Stop!"

A roar swept over, and the faces of the civil and military officials changed suddenly. It seemed that this roar was accompanied by a strong wind, which made people tremble.

They turned their heads and saw the dusty young man, with a murderous look, walking towards them quickly.
