Chapter 633 Don’t Dream Such Unrealistic Dreams

The prince put his hands behind his back and laughed, "Brother-in-law, no need to be polite!"

Ning Chen rolled his eyes.

The prince said, "My father is too busy with government affairs to get away. He said that when you come back, he will lead the civil and military officials to welcome you out of the city."

"Originally, Eunuch Quan came, but I got there first... Ning Chen, I don't know much about war, but I also know that the battlefield is dangerous. Although you are invincible, don't be careless and be more careful!"

Ning Chen nodded slightly.

As the two were chatting, Pan Yucheng and his men arrived with Fang Pu.

"Go back, I have to leave!"

The eldest prince smiled and said, "I wish you a triumphant return in advance... Take care, I'm still waiting to be your uncle."

Ning Chen rolled his eyes at him and suddenly asked, "Are you not going to rebel again?"

The eldest prince froze for a moment!

He said unhappily: "Can we talk about something else? I finally survived and became the crown prince again... Why do I want to die?"

"I now understand that my father is truly wise... With you in Daxuan, the emperor has nothing to worry about!"

Ning Chen smiled, walked back and got on his horse.

"Let's go!"

With an order, the army set out.

.......

More than 20 days later, Ning Chen arrived at Xuantian City.

Xiguan City had been broken and occupied by the Xiliang army.

Xuantian City is the closest city to Xiguan City.

Unfortunately, there are no garrisons in Xuantian City.

All the 100,000 troops of the Western Territory were stationed in Xiguan City, but they were wiped out by Xiliang, killing 20,000 and capturing 80,000.

After Xiguan City was broken, the most pitiful thing was the people, with countless casualties.

Most of the people who escaped the city by chance came to Xuantian City.

The Changling Army had arrived first.

When King Rui rebelled, because of Mu Anbang's poor command, he lost nearly 20,000 troops.

Although Mu Anbang redeemed himself when he finally conquered Xiangzhou... Although he saved his life, he was dismissed from his post.

The current commander of the Changling Army was promoted by Ning Chen, and his name is Shi Xiuwei.

Shi Xiuwei, like Qi Yuanzhong, is an old subordinate of General Chen... He was also recommended to Ning Chen by General Chen, and is a fierce general.

The Changling Army and the Ning'an Army are stationed outside Xuantian City.

Ning Chen entered the city.

Officials of all sizes in the city came to pay homage.

Ning Chen learned about the current situation.

Because Xiguan City fell, more and more refugees poured into Xuantian City.

Now there are more and more refugees.

The government has submitted a memorial requesting to open the warehouses and release grain!

But the imperial edict has not been issued yet.

Ning Chen directly ordered to open the warehouses and release grain to help the people!

When he entered the city just now, the streets were full of refugees.

When the imperial edict of the court came down, I wonder how many people will starve to death?

Moreover, people can do anything when they are extremely hungry... Although these refugees are pitiful, they are also unsafe factors, and they can cause riots if they are not careful!

Ning Chen's arrival gave the officials of Xuantian City a backbone.

Ning Chen sent soldiers to patrol the city continuously.

Once someone was found to be inciting trouble, he would suppress it directly by force.

Because he was not sure whether there were people from Xiliang among these refugees.

He did not want to fight with Xiliang in the front and cause unrest in the back, because once the food and grass could not keep up, even if he was a god, he could not let the soldiers win the battle against the Xiliang army on an empty stomach.

Ning Chen directly left 10,000 Changling troops to guard Xuantian City.

Ning Chen stayed in Xuantian City for two days, and only set off when Qi Yuanzhong led his army to arrive.

No one noticed... Ning'an Army was missing a thousand people.

Along the way, Ning Chen met many refugees.

Pan Yucheng rode up to Ning Chen, his face solemn, "The situation in Xiguan City is more serious than imagined... The Xiliang army burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil in the city."

Ning Chen's face was ashen, "It seems that I am still too kind. When I captured Linxuan City in Xiliang, I only looted the property and did not hurt the people of Xiliang."

"Pass my military order, speed up!"

Xiliang's actions completely angered Ning Chen.

The closer they got to Xiguan City, the angrier Ning Chen became.

Because along the way, there were corpses everywhere, including the elderly, the weak, women and children.

The people of Xiguan City, if lucky, could escape to Xuantian City...Most of the people who escaped were caught by Xiliang soldiers, and the rebels were killed on the spot, and many of these corpses died of starvation.

Five days later, Ning Chen led the army and rushed to Xiguan City.

The Xiliang scouts had already discovered Ning Chen's army.

So, the city gates were closed!

Ning Chen ordered the army to stay where they were.

He only brought Pan Yucheng with him to the city.

On the top of the city, the soldiers of Xiliang were on the verge of a fight!

Three figures appeared on the top of the city.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, all of them were old acquaintances.

One was Han Gaochi, a famous general of Xiliang.

Another was Che Mingzhe... Ning Chen broke through Linxuan City and captured Che Mingzhe and three thousand Xiliang soldiers alive. Later, these people stayed in Xiguan City as coolies, and now they are all saved.

There is one last person, the Xiliang judge Xing Shan.

Xing Shan smiled and said, "King Zheng, we meet again?"

Ning Chen had no expression on his face, "That day, when I broke through Linxuan City in Xiliang, did I hurt your people in Xiliang?"

The three looked at each other!

Xing Shan said, "King Zheng, this is a different time."

Ning Chen's eyes were cold, "Okay, I just ask one question... Who gave the order to burn, kill, rob, and massacre my people of Daxuan?"

The three were silent.

Ning Chen said sternly: "What, you dare to do it but not to take responsibility?"

Xing Shan stepped forward, "It's me, what do you do?"

Ning Chen stared at him and said word by word: "I, Ning Chen, swear to heaven with my life that you will die miserably!"

Xing Shan's face changed.

He knew very well that it was not a good thing to be remembered by Ning Chen.

However, he was not worried at this time, because they had the advantage now.

"I have long experienced the ability of the King of Daxuan Town. When you forced us to offer the Immaculate Ice Lotus and used stones as gold and silver to play tricks on us...you should have thought that this day would come."

"Ning Chen, there are 80,000 soldiers of your Daxuan in this city, and tens of thousands of people...I only ask one question, do you save them or not?"

Ning Chen stared at him coldly, "Don't talk nonsense, tell me your conditions."

Xing Shan smiled sinisterly, "It's very simple...as long as your King of Town commits suicide now, I will let them go."

Pan Yucheng's face changed suddenly!

Ning Chen sneered, "What are you dreaming about!"

Xing Shan said angrily, "You dare to refuse? Aren't you afraid that I will kill them all now?"

Ning Chen said word by word, "Please! If they die, I will have no scruples... But if you want me to commit suicide, you are overthinking. If everyone in the city dies, I will not hurt a hair on my head."

"If they die, I can help them get revenge... But if I die, they will die too!"

"I advise you not to have such unrealistic dreams... Just state your conditions, what conditions will you give up and withdraw the troops?"

Xing Shan stared at Ning Chen with a cold face.

"It is said that you, the King of Zhenguo, are righteous and deeply loved by the people of Daxuan... Now, you only need to sacrifice one person to exchange for the lives of more than 100,000 people. I thought you would agree immediately, but I didn't expect you to be so greedy for life and afraid of death. It seems that you don't love the people like your own children as the rumors say."

Ning Chen burst out laughing, "Your brain has been pinched by a woman's thigh, right? Can a normal person say this?"
