Chapter 901 We Need a Lot of Coolies Now
In the following days, Ning Chen was almost crazy busy!
He dealt with military affairs during the day.
He had to go to the palace to sleep at night.
In addition, there were a lot of things to do. Now that Wuguo and Daxuan had resumed trade, his business had to be expanded.
At the same time, Nie Liang had to be transferred back and reinstated to protect Emperor An's safety.
Emperor An was also very smart and had already started to handle government affairs.
Of course, this was inseparable from Emperor Xuan's careful guidance.
Everything was moving in a good direction.
And the news of Ning Chen's entry into Beijing had spread.
The most shocked person was Kang Luo.
Yangzhou, City Lord's Mansion.
Kang Luo looked at the secret letter in his hand and couldn't recover for a long time.
How long has it been? Ning Chen not only took Liangzhou, but also entered the capital.
Emperor De and Zong Sibai were so scared that they ran away overnight... What a waste.
Kang Luo felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
He had a hunch that Ning Chen would deal with him next.
He thought for a moment, wrote a letter, and then asked someone to rush it to Ning Chen.
Compared with Nanyue, the King Wen of Bianzhou, that is, Leng Wenyan, was so scared that he knocked over the teacup when he received the news that Ning Chen was staying in the capital.
If it was Emperor De who was in power, he would not worry at all.
Because he knew that Emperor De was ambitious but incompetent, and had some ability, but not much.
But Ning Chen was different. He was best at marching and fighting, and now he had hundreds of thousands of troops.
At this time, Ning Chen had just returned to Ning Mansion.
He had just paid tribute to General Chen.
As soon as he entered the door, the servant came to report that King Wu was coming.
Ning Chen was slightly startled. According to the time, King Wu should arrive the next day or the day after tomorrow, but he didn't expect to come back so soon.
"Where is King Wu?"
"With Princess Wu."
Ning Chen brought Pan Yucheng to the West Courtyard.
The maid saw Ning Chen and was about to salute, but was stopped by Ning Chen, and then motioned them to leave.
Ning Chen came to the door with a bad taste on his face and listened attentively.
Damn it! ! !
All I could hear was the creaking sound of the rocking bed and suppressed moans.
As a person who has been through this, I naturally know what is going on inside?
It's daytime lust.
It seems that King Wu has been starving during this period.
Ning Chen quietly stepped back and took Pan Yucheng to sit down at the stone table in the yard.
"Old Pan, let's make a bet?"
Pan Yucheng was slightly startled, "What's the bet?"
"How long will King Wu take to finish?"
Pan Yucheng: "..."
What a bad taste!
"King Wu is a man who kills on the battlefield and is strong and healthy. I bet half an hour."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "I bet a quarter of an hour... bet one hundred taels of silver."
Pan Yucheng nodded and agreed.
With King Wu's physical fitness, it is impossible to finish so quickly?
Ning Chen is also very confident... A person who holds back for a long time can't hold it for long.
He abstinence for more than a year. When the empress came to Xuanwu City, he was defeated in two minutes after taking up the gun.
Besides, the King of Wu came to see him, so he couldn't take too long.
In less than an incense stick of time, the door creaked open... King Wu walked out with a satisfied look on his face.
When he saw Ning Chen and Pan Yucheng in the yard, he froze on the spot, his old face flushed.
Ning Chen turned his head to look at Pan Yucheng, then stretched out his hand.
Pan Yucheng's mouth twitched, and he took out a hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Ning Chen.
He turned his head to look at the King of Wu, and despised it in his heart. This was too fast... It wasted this good body.
King Wu walked over with an embarrassed face.
"When did you come?"
After returning to Beijing, he had to go to the palace to see the emperor as soon as possible, so he naturally knew that Ning Chen had been named the regent.
Both of them were princes, so they didn't talk so politely.
Ning Chen smiled evilly and said, "I came when you were carrying a gun to the battlefield... It seems that King Wu was really hungry during this period."
King Wu's old face flushed, "You are the regent now, how can you eavesdrop?"
Ning Chen said, "I am not eavesdropping, I am listening openly... But to be honest, you are very ordinary. In less than a quarter of an hour, you made Lao Pan lose a hundred taels of silver."
King Wu's mouth twitched... Ordinary?
"I haven't touched a woman for more than half a year. This is already very impressive, okay?"
A man can tolerate anything... but he can't tolerate others saying that he is not good enough. He suddenly said: "The king of Daxuan Town has a six-inch gun on his body. This gun cannot kill the enemy..."
Ning Chen's expression froze suddenly, and then he ran away on the spot.
Fuck! ! !
His lifelong reputation.
"Old Pan, can you help me check if that historian is still alive? If he is alive, kill him for me. If he is dead, dig him out and whip his corpse... My fame will be ruined by these bastards who can only play with pens."
Pan Yucheng said: "Even if they kill people and whip their corpses, these few doggerel poems will not disappear."
Ning Chen's mouth twitched.
"These bastards are not good at anything else, but they are really dirty at scolding people."
King Wu felt much more comfortable when he saw the furious Ning Chen.
Immediately, his face straightened and the topic changed, "I heard from my father that you are going to recover Yangzhou and other places. You urgently summoned me back, but is it for this matter?"
Ning Chen waved his hand, "I will deal with Nanyue personally... You go to conquer Leng Wenyan.
You are familiar with the situation in the western border, and it is more appropriate for you to lead the army to conquer it."
King Wu was slightly startled, and then nodded, "No problem! But do we have enough troops? I heard that you want Yuan Long to lead the army to conquer Zhang Tianlun."
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will let Xiliang send troops to help you."
"Xiliang?"
Ning Chen had a sly smile on his face, "Xiliang broke through Xiguan City and robbed the food to lend to me. Xiguan City is now a ruin, and the people are living in poverty... The city wall needs to be repaired and the houses need to be built, so we need a lot of labor now.
We Daxuan are the most hospitable. When the Xiliang army cooperates with you to capture Bianzhou, don't let them go back."
King Wu and Pan Yucheng stared at Ning Chen blankly.
Good guy, this is to capture the Xiliang army as labor.
Xiliang met Ning Chen, the evil star, and it was also unlucky for eight lifetimes.
Pan Yucheng said: "But if you do this, I'm afraid the saint will hate you even more."
Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Xiliang broke through Xiguan City, and the people are living in poverty. I don't know how many people died? Winter is coming soon, and the people of Xiguan City will have a harder life... So, I have to do this."
In this world, the number of deaths is the highest in war.
Second, it was a natural disaster.
Third, it was winter.
In the cold winter, the people could only endure it.
Every winter, many people would freeze to death.
Now Xiguan City was in a mess, and the people's houses had to be built, otherwise they would not survive this winter.
As for whether Tan Tai Qingyue would hate him more, it was insignificant compared to the lives of tens of thousands of people in Xiguan City.
Ning Chen stood up and said, "You continue to be affectionate with Princess Wu, and we will have a couple of drinks tonight."
King Wu nodded.
Ning Chen went to find Tan Tai Qingyue.
I wonder if the Xiliang royal family has replied?
Ning Chen came to where Tan Tai Qingyue lived and happened to see a maid carrying a wooden barrel out.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Ning Chen hummed, "Is Tan Tai Qingyue in there?"
"The girl is bathing."
Ning Chen's eyes lit up.
