Chapter 500 If You Don't Agree, Come and Fight

Ning Chen was overjoyed when he got the Immaculate Ice Lotus.

But Han Gaochi was almost furious.

Because he found that only the gold and silver on the top of the treasures were real, and the bottom was all stone.

He immediately reported this to Xing Shan.

Xing Shan was so angry that his eyes went dark when he heard it.

"King of Daxuan Town, you are untrustworthy and use stones as gold and silver. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?"

The Xiliang shouting soldiers shouted in unison.

Ning Chen sneered, and this time he didn't use Feng Qizhen, and shouted angrily: "You wasted a lot of my time in vain. If you had sent the Immaculate Ice Lotus to Daxuan Imperial City earlier, you would have mountains of gold and silver, and I would have given you all of them."

"But you just don't know what's good for you, deliberately making things difficult, forcing me to come and get it in person, you should pay the price."

"This time, I just teach you a lesson... If you dare to delay my business next time, I will lead Daxuan's millions of cavalry to flatten your Xiliang Kingdom."

Xing Shan was so angry that he trembled all over.

"I never thought that the King of Daxuan Town would be so mean and untrustworthy."

"You said that I am untrustworthy?" Ning Chen's eyes were cold, "I said I would destroy your Xiliang Kingdom... It seems that you are forcing me to keep my promise?"

"This place is open and suitable for a decisive battle... I am just teasing you, what can you do? If you don't accept it, come and fight, I will accompany you to the end."

Xing Shan and Han Gaochi were ashen-faced and gloomy.

But they didn't have the courage to fight.

Ning Chen was full of disdain and said in a deep voice: "If you don't dare, go back!"

"Listen to me clearly, you are deliberately making things difficult and delaying time... If you delay my business, the entire Xiliang will pay a heavy price for the stupidity of the royal family."

"You'd better pray that the people I care about are safe and sound. If he makes any mistakes, I will definitely flatten your Xiliang."

After saying that, Ning Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense.

"Pass my military order, the army is on the march, return to Xiguan City."

Xing Shan and Han Gaochi watched the Daxuan troops evacuate in an orderly manner, and they were so angry that they trembled all over.

But they could only watch the Daxuan troops retreat.

The 70,000-strong army guarded the city, and in less than half an hour, the city was broken and the army was defeated.

Even with the city blocking them, they couldn't hold out for half an hour.

In this open space, they dared not to take action.

If the Xiliang army was twice as large, they could give it a try.

As for Che Mingzhe, and the three thousand captives, Ning Chen didn't release any of them.

All of them were taken back to work as coolies and cannon fodder on the battlefield.

Che Mingzhe was a famous general of Xiliang. Letting him go was like letting a tiger go back to the mountains. If they fought with Xiliang again in the future, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble for Daxuan.

A few days later, Ning Chen returned to Xiguan City.

Ning Chen ordered the army to rest for a day and return to the capital tomorrow.

He called Lei An.

"Old Pan, Lei An, you two go and take a look at the supplies brought back from Linxuan City."

Pan Yucheng and Lei An understood immediately.

Ning Chen meant to pick out all the valuables and take them away.

"Your Highness, there is a woman outside the camp who wants to see you."

Pan Yucheng and Lei An had just left when a soldier outside the tent reported.

Ning Chen smiled slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be Yue Congyun.

"Bring her to see me."

"Yes!"

Feng Qizheng jumped up, "I'll go, I'll go..."

As he said that, he rushed out.

Ning Chen smiled.

After a while, Feng Qizheng walked in with Yue Congyun with a diligent look on his face.

"I, a commoner, pay my respects to Your Highness!"

Yue Congyun saluted respectfully.

Ning Chen raised his hand and said, "Get up!"

"Are you ready?"

Yue Congyun said, "Ready!"

Ning Chen pointed to the box on the table and said, "I'll give you a task."

"Your Majesty, please give me your orders."

"From now on, protect this box and make sure it arrives safely in the capital."

"Yes, sir!"

Ning Chen said calmly, "The things in the box are more important than my life."

Yue Congyun's face changed, and she hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will protect this thing with my life."

Ning Chen asked, "What weapon do you use?"

Yue Congyun leaned over and said, "Long spear."

Feng Qizhen said, "She brought her own weapon, a silver spear with red tassels."

Ning Chen's eyes fell on Yue Congyun.

Yue Congyun hurriedly said, "That's the long spear passed down from my family."

Ning Chen nodded slightly and said, "Old Feng, go to the baggage camp and get her a set of suitable armor."

"Miss Yue, now that you have entered the military camp, don't call yourself a commoner anymore... If you can escort this box safely to the capital, you will be my deputy general like Old Feng, accompanying me."

Feng Qi was smiling happily. Doesn't this mean that he will be able to see Yue Congyun every day in the future?

Yue Congyun leaned over and clasped his fists, "I obey your orders!"

"Old Feng, arrange a separate tent for Miss Yue."

Feng Qi was smiling, "Okay! Little Miss Yue, come with me."

Yue Congyun asked, "My lord, can I carry this box with me?"

"Of course!"

Yue Congyun took the box away.

Ning Chen smiled silently, his eyes flickering.

Yue Congyun was introduced to him by the fourth prince.

Naturally, he didn't dare to believe it easily.

But Feng Qi really likes Yue Congyun, so he will give Yue Congyun a chance.

The journey back to Beijing will definitely not be peaceful.

If Yue Congyun can escort the box to Beijing safely, she will pass the test.

Ning Chen tampered with the box. If Yue Congyun opened the box, the test would fail.

......

That night, at midnight.

Ning Chen was awakened by the noise outside.

"Old Pan, what's going on?"

The curtain of the tent was opened, and it was not Pan Yucheng who walked in, but Chen Chong.

Pan Yucheng, Chen Chong, and Feng Qizheng would take turns to keep watch for Ning Chen.

"It seems there is an assassin. The Western Border Army is trying to catch the assassin."

Ning Chen sat up and sneered, "An assassin in the military camp? What a joke... Is this assassin here to kill someone else, or to kill himself?"

Chen Chong shrugged, "Don't worry about this little thing. I'll be guarding the door. You can sleep peacefully."

"I'm afraid this assassin doesn't want me to sleep well."

Chen Chong was stunned, "You mean, the assassin is coming for you?"

Ning Chen sneered, "Not for me, but for the Immortal Ice Lotus."

Just then, Feng Qi ran over in a hurry.

"Ning Chen, it's bad! Miss Xiaoyue was attacked."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, not surprised.

It's not surprising that Yue Congyun was targeted today when she left his place with the box.

Chen Chong was surprised, "The assassins came for Miss Xiaoyue?"

"What? They came for the box in Xiaoyue's hand."

Chen Chong said, "Is Miss Xiaoyue okay?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "If Miss Yue is in trouble, can Lao Feng still stand here with peace of mind?"

"Let's go and take a look... There are assassins in the military camp, which really opened my eyes."

Soon after Ning Chen left, a black shadow appeared outside the tent stealthily, avoiding the guards, cutting through the tent with a sharp blade, and sneaking in quietly.

As soon as he came in, he immediately started to search.

When he found a box, his eyes, which were shining with brilliance, lit up slightly.

But when he opened the box, his eyes shrank sharply.

There was nothing he was looking for in the box, only a note with a sentence on it: Hell welcomes you!
