The Return of the Demon

Chapter 575 Terrified

Ning Chen waved his hand and said: "Yuan Long, see you off!"

"Both of you, please!"

Li Wenshu and He Guanyu left uneasily.

Yuan Long drove them out... no, sent them out of the military camp.

The two of them led a group of soldiers and traveled through the night to return to Sea City.

"Li Canjun, did General Ning accept our surrender?"

On the way, He Guanyu asked worriedly.

Li Wenwen opened his mouth, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I don't know either."

"Then what do we do now?"

"What else can we do? Go back and tell General Lu first."

He Guanyu frowned and said worriedly: "Why do I feel that General Ning has no intention of accepting our surrender?"

Li Wenwen was also worried, "Let's talk about it when we get back!"

On the other side, Yuan Long returned to Ning Chen's camp.

"General Ning, they left!"

Ning Chen hummed lightly.

Feng Qizheng curled his lips disdainfully, "A bunch of cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death."

Yuan Long looked at Ning Chen, "General, do you want to accept their surrender?"

"Let's talk about it when we get to Ocean City. We'll see how they perform then."

Yuan Long said: "The general didn't agree immediately. Is he worried that this was Lu Ming's strategy to lure the enemy?"

Ning Chen sneered, "Whether he lures the enemy or not, our army will be at the gates of the city in three days."

Yuan Long thought about it too.

The 20,000 troops in Haizhong City will definitely not be able to stop the Ning'an Army.

"Okay, let's go back and rest. We have to rush tomorrow morning!"

"I will retire at the end!"

Two days later, Ning Chen's army was not far from Haizhong City.

At the same time, the old thief King Rui who was far away in Xiangzhou also received the news that Linhai City had been breached and Xiang Xiuming had died in battle.

When Ning Chen gave Mitsuki Sakamoto's head to Prince Rui, he knew that the news of Xiang Xiu Ming's defeat could not be concealed.

Therefore, before setting off, he asked Yuan Long to chop Huang Shao.

King Rui knew that Xiang Xiuming was defeated, and Huang Shao's attempt to deceive Xiangzhou City Gate became a wishful thinking.

Therefore, this person is of no use if he is retained.

In the spacious palace, King Rui sat on the dragon chair, his face pale.

The new palace is still under construction.

The place where he ascended the throne was his Prince Rui Mansion.

Prince Rui's Mansion is a bit small, but even though the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

There is a golden palace and a dragon chair.

He also appointed left and right prime ministers and six ministers.

Everything is in accordance with Daxuan's officialdom system.

But at first glance, they look like a grassroots team.

For example, the left prime minister is his father-in-law.

The right minister is his other father-in-law.

The six ministerial books are all his relatives and friends.

Originally, Prince Rui was very happy today and was choosing a concubine.

As a result, Zuo Xiang Jian Xingxue told him that Linhai City had been captured and Xiang Xiuming died in the battle.

Prince Rui felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on his head.

"Xiang Xiuming is a waste. I gave him an army of fifty thousand. How long has it been since? He has already lost Linhai City... He is simply a waste."

"Come here, kill all of Xiang Xiuming's family members, leaving no one behind!"

King Rui roared loudly.

"By the way, where is the Showa army?"

Zuo Xiangxing shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, there is no news yet."

Prince Rui yelled: "Pass an edict to Lu Ming to defend Haizhong City... If Haizhong City is lost, Xiangzhou will be in danger!"

At this moment, King Rui's personal eunuch came in with two guards and two boxes.

"See Your Majesty!"

King Rui raised his hand, "Pingsheng!"

The old eunuch said: "Your Majesty, Ning Chen specially sent someone to send this from Linhai City."

Prince Rui was startled and looked at the two boxes in the guard's hands, "Did Ning Chen send them?"

"yes!"

"What's in the box?"

"I don't know!"

Prince Rui did not rush forward to check, but said in a deep voice: "Open it!"

The old eunuch stepped forward and opened the first box, and couldn't help but be stunned, "Your Majesty, the box is empty."

"Empty?" Prince Rui was puzzled, "What does Ning Chen mean by giving me an empty box?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a scream.

The old eunuch opened the second box and sat down on the ground shivering in fear.

The guard holding the box was so frightened that he almost threw the box away.

Prime Minister Zuo took a closer look and was so frightened that he staggered back and almost fell down.

Prince Rui was far away and couldn't see clearly. He was about to ask when he heard the old eunuch's trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Inside the box is the head of General Mitsuki Sakamoto."

Prince Rui trembled, his face instantly turned pale, and his eyes were filled with fear.

In the other box is Mitsuki Sakamoto's head.

This means that the Showa army is finished.

Xiang Xiuming is dead, Linhai City is lost, the Showa army is defeated, Mitsuki Sakamoto even loses his head... Who can stop Ning Chen's cavalry?

At the same time, King Rui also understood the meaning of the empty box.

The empty box was used to hold his head.

A chill ran through his body, and King Rui couldn't stop trembling.

"Quick, get me General Qu and General Yamamoto Shunsuke."

While King Rui was terrified, Emperor Xuan, who was far away in Daxuan Capital City, was beaming with joy.

"Hahaha... This brat really makes me look embarrassed."

Emperor Xuan's hearty laughter came from the imperial study room.

Nie Liang, who was standing outside, looked surprised.

It's rare to see His Majesty be so discourteous.

The brat your Majesty just called must have something to do with Ning Chen... In the entire Daxuan, Ning Chen is the only one who can make Emperor Xuan call him a brat.

Just now, the left and right prime ministers and the six ministers entered the imperial study.

He knew that Ning Chen had been leading troops to attack the traitor King Rui during this period.

Your Majesty was so happy, it seemed that Ning Chen had successfully suppressed the rebellion.

In the imperial study, Li Hanru and others were circulating the victory report from the East Region that they had just received.

Originally, Emperor Xuan planned to share this good news at the morning court tomorrow.

But he couldn't help his joy and ordered Li Hanru and others to enter the palace immediately.

"The prince is indeed brave and good at fighting. He broke through Linhai City and defeated the army of the traitor Xiang Xiuming. I think the old thief King Rui must be in a state of panic now."

"The prince is indeed brave, but the key is that your majesty has a keen eye for talent... That day in the court, he rejected all the opinions and appointed the prince as a general, which enabled him to successfully attack the traitor."

"Your majesty is wise, and we admire him!"

Everyone present is smart. His majesty is so happy, so naturally there will be no fools who jump out to sing the opposite tune. They are not those censors.

Emperor Xuan was very pleased and looked at Li Hanru, "Ning Chen, please ask for an order to send a group of officials to Linhai City. You, the left prime minister, will arrange this matter."

"Minister, obey your order!"

Emperor Xuan thought that this good news must be shared in the court tomorrow to embarrass those experts.

......

That day, Ning Chen led his army to Haizhong City.

"Report...General, the gate of Haizhong City is open, and 20,000 troops are waiting outside the gate."

The scout reported.

Feng Qizheng glared, "Waiting for battle? Does Lu Ming want to go to war with us?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "If we go to war, they don't have the courage to leave the city...The scout said "waiting for battle", which should mean collectively waiting to surrender."

"Let's go and see!"
