Chapter 924 It’s Great to Be Alive
In the days that followed, with Zisu's medical skills and Yudie's careful care, Ning Chen recovered quickly.
This is also related to his good health.
If it were an ordinary person, he would probably go to the King of Hell for tea before Zi Su came.
In just a few days, Ning Chen was able to get out of bed and walk.
However, being roasted on the fire every day made Ning Chen miserable. Every time after roasting, Ning Chen felt that Ning's second child had shrunk... He was worried that he was getting smaller and smaller. How could he win against Feng Qizheng?
At this time, Ning Chen was lying on a deck chair in the yard basking in the sun.
This has been the case these days.
The room was too stuffy, Zi Su said that some sunshine was good for the body.
The autumn sunshine was still a bit poisonous, and Ning Chen's cheeks were red from the sun.
Yudie poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ning Chen's mouth.
Ning Chen took a few sips, and Zi Su handed over another candied fruit.
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes comfortably.
This is life...it's good to be alive!
Footsteps sounded.
Ning Chen heard the sound and looked over, it was Yuan Long and others.
Now that Yangzhou is stable, these guys come to visit him several times a day.
"How's the harvest going?"
Ning Chen asked.
Food is the foundation of the country.
In the past, when fighting, he just had to fight. With Emperor Xuan's support, he didn't have to worry about food and grass at all.
But now, every time he sends out troops, what he thinks about most is food and grass.
Yuan Long said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the crops are growing well this year... His Majesty has decreed that the national taxes have been reduced by 30%. Currently, Yangzhou has plenty of food and grass, and the people are living a good life."
Ning Chen nodded slightly, "Is the South City Tower repaired?"
"It was repaired a few days ago, but the prince was still in a coma at that time."
Ning Chen hummed and looked at Feng Qizheng, "You idiot, why are you coming to my place every day if you don't stay with Miss Yue?"
Feng Qizheng sighed and sat down on the next step, "Forget it, she doesn't look like a woman? She is training in the army and has no time to talk to me.
It seems that I am destined to be a miscreant in this life. "
Ning Chen wanted to laugh a little. Yue Congyun was indeed different from other women. Compared to men, she preferred marching and fighting.
Yue Congyun said that she marched and fought to prove to the men in the world that women were no worse than men, and she wanted to improve the status of Daxuan women.
Daxuan women have always been dependent on men and have a very low status.
But Huai'an has already done this for her. Now that Emperor Daxuan is a woman, the status of women has naturally increased.
At this moment, Xiao Yanxi came.
Ning Chen smiled and said, "Xiao Xixi, did you bring me some good news again?"
Xiao Yanxi hesitated.
"It's okay. We are all our own people here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Xiao Yanxi nodded and said, "I just received news that there was a mutiny in Bianzhou."
Ning Chen was startled, "Bianzhou? Is that Leng Wenyan who rebelled and became king?"
Xiao Yanxi nodded, "Yes, Leng Wenyan wants to lead hundreds of thousands of troops to surrender to Xiliang. I have received definite news that Leng Wenyan's rebellion is supported by Xiliang."
Ning Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, with a cold light flashing.
Xiao Yanxi continued: "Xiliang has sent a delegation to Daxuan. They want Emperor An to restore the title of King of Xiliang."
Ning Chen said: "Haven't they recovered?"
Xiao Yanxi said: "This is different. When they were forced to surrender, the Supreme Emperor named the king of Xiliang the king of Xiliang... This was a shame for the entire Xiliang royal family.
Now, they want Emperor An to personally recognize the king of Xiliang and want to avenge his previous humiliation!
However, in doing so, they were misled by the news. "
Ning Chen was puzzled, "What do you mean?"
Xiao Yanxi said: "You faked your death and not only deceived Kang Luo, you also deceived the Xiliang royal family.
That day, when your coffin was transported out of the city, many people saw your body, probably among them were spies from Xiliang. They should have also spread the news of your death back to Xiliang. "
Ning Chen sneered, "In other words, the Xiliang royal family received false news and thought I was dead?"
Xiao Yanxi nodded, "That's right! They thought you were dead, so they dared to show their true colors and let Leng Wenyan return to Xiliang... At the same time, they sent a mission to Daxuan, hoping to avenge their previous shame.
If they knew you were still alive, they would definitely not dare to do this. "
Ning Chen sneered, "I didn't expect that I would gain something unexpected by faking my death."
Feng Qizheng chuckled and said: "If the Xiliang royal family knew that you were still alive, I wonder what their reaction would be? They would probably pee in fear, right?"
"Xiliang?" Ning Chen's eyes were cold, "I didn't realize that, taking advantage of the civil strife in Daxuan, Xiliang took advantage of it... It seems that the lesson given to them last time was not enough.
It seems that I have to wait until I have free time to take my brothers to Xiliang Kingdom. "
Suddenly, Yudie gently tugged on Ning Chen's sleeve.
Ning Chen looked at her.
Yudie pointed to the side.
Ning Chen turned around and saw Tantai Qingyue standing not far away, her eyes filled with shock.
Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at her, then waved.
Tantai Qingyue came over.
Ning Chen said indifferently: "Have you heard everything?"
Tantai Qingyue nodded.
"Did you not know in advance that Xiliang was secretly supporting Leng Wenyan?"
Tantai Qingyue shook her head.
Ning Chen sneered, "You did not hesitate to bend down and stay by my side to serve me, and saved so many people in Xiliang...but it seems that the Xiliang royal family does not trust you."
Tantai Qingyue's face turned a little pale, "You...you want to fight Xiliang?"
Ning Chen said indifferently: "You destroyed my Daxuan Xiguan City and secretly supported Leng Wenyan to split my Daxuan territory... You Xiliang are really bad and hard to get rid of. You forgot the pain after the wound healed. It seems that the lesson I taught you last time was not enough."
Tan Tai Qingyue's face turned pale, "Can we not fight? The people of Xiliang are innocent."
Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "The people of my Daxuan Xiguan City and Bianzhou are also innocent.
If I hadn't faked my death this time, I really didn't know that Xiliang had done so many things in secret... Since he has reached out to someone else's house, it's not too much to chop off his hand, right?"
Tan Tai Qing Yue said: "I can write to the Xiliang royal family and ask them to stop supporting Leng Wenyan, and I can also make corresponding compensation."
"Too late!" Ning Chen said lightly: "Besides, you are a saint who is not trusted by the Xiliang royal family. Do you think they will listen to you? Xiao Tanzi, to put it bluntly, you are just a pawn of the Xiliang royal family."
Tan Tai Qing Yue gritted her teeth, "As long as you don't attack Xiliang... I am yours!"
She followed Ning Chen at the cost of her life, letting him send her, just to save the Xiliang captives in Xuanwu City.
She had obviously saved so many people, and if she worked harder, she would definitely be able to save the remaining 20,000 captives.
She didn't want those people she saved to become captives again.
She knew Ning Chen. If Ning Chen invaded Xiliang again, the entire Xiliang would become a slave country.
She repeatedly reminded the Xiliang royal family not to take advantage of the civil strife in Daxuan to have other thoughts. As long as Ning Chen was alive, Daxuan would not perish. Why didn't they listen?
