The Return of the Demon

Chapter 969: Seeking Fortune and Honor in Danger

Ning Chen lowered his head and looked at the leading killer, his eyes flickering, wondering what evil he was holding back?

"May I have your name?"

The leading killer said in a trembling voice: "Chu, Chu Gaohan."

Pan Yucheng came over and said, "Are you the fatal knife Chu Gaohan?"

Chu Gaohan nodded, "Yes!"

Pan Yucheng sneered, "You are also a well-known figure in the world, but you didn't expect that you would come to assassinate the prince. Aren't you afraid that your fellow Jianghu people will poke your spine?"

Ning Chen sneered, "How can a spine be as important as money?

I guess Leng Wenyan must have spent a lot of money to invite you, right? "

Chu Gaohan nodded tremblingly.

"How much money did Leng Wenyan give you?"

Chu Gaohan trembled and said, "Five thousand taels of gold."

"Oh...it's really a lot, but I am too small. How much deposit did you receive?"

"Two thousand taels."

Ning Chen sneered and said: "Thirty people, five thousand taels of gold, how much can you each share?

Chu Gaohan, if you kill me, will you take my head to Leng Wenyan to collect the remaining gold? "

Chu Gaohan nodded, "Yes!"

Ning Chen turned to look at Pan Yucheng, "Old Pan, do you dare to take a risk with me?"

Pan Yucheng was confused, "What do you mean?"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Ask him to take us to see Leng Wenyan... Let's capture the thief first and capture the king first."

Pan Yucheng's expression changed, "No, you are the commander of the first army, what if something happens?"

"Wealth is found in danger." Ning Chen glanced at Chu Gaohan, "We pretended to be his men and asked him to take us to find Leng Wenyan. With the skills of you and me, it won't be a problem to capture Leng Wenyan.

Don't forget, even without the bow and arrow battalion, Leng Wenyan still has 90,000 troops... If you want to win this battle, you can imagine how brutal it will be.

Moreover, even if Leng Wenyan wants to retreat, we can't stop him.

If he encounters the Xiliang army coming to support him during his retreat, then we will be in a passive position.

Capture the thief first and capture the king first. Capturing Leng Wenyan will not only end the battle, but also harvest Leng Wenyan's army... Therefore, this risk is worth taking. "

Pan Yucheng fell into deep thought.

Ning Chen stared at Chu Gaohan, "Originally, the thirty of you were divided into two thousand taels of gold, but now that everyone else is dead, the two thousand taels of deposit belong to you alone.

As long as you take me to see Leng Wenyan, the two thousand taels of deposit will be yours... Moreover, I can promise to spare your life. "

Chu Gaohan didn't hesitate at all and nodded repeatedly, "I am willing, thank you so much, Your Majesty, thank you so much, Your Majesty for your kindness..."

Ning Chen moved the tip of his sword and pressed it against his throat, "Don't thank me in a hurry. If you do a good job, you will not only get two thousand taels of gold, but you can also live... If you do a bad job, you will definitely die."

Chu Gaohan, you have seen my skills... Within twenty steps, I will kill you like searching for something. If you dare to play tricks, I guarantee that you will die miserably.

Even if I don't kill you, if Leng Wenyan knew that your mission failed, how would you let you take away two thousand taels of gold in vain? Do you think he will let you go then? "

Chu Gaohan said in horror: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain doesn't dare... Don't worry, the prince, the villain will do his best to help the prince succeed."

Ning Chen took back his sword and said, "Chu Gaohan, I will trust you just once... You are a smart person, and since you are a smart person, don't do stupid things."

"The villain understands, the villain understands..."

Ning Chen looked at Pan Yucheng, "Old Pan, put on the clothes of these killers, and then chop off a head... Let's go meet this Leng Wenyan."

Pan Yucheng nodded.

Xiao Yanxi walked over and looked at Ning Chen with a worried look on her face, "Do you really want to take this risk?"

Ning Chen scratched her nose and said, "Don't worry! Goddess of Luck has been teasing me, and she will be on my side this time."

Xiao Yanxi knew that Ning Chen had made up his mind.

She looked at Chu Gaohan, "I am Mr. Le of Taichu Pavilion, and I am also Xiao Yanxi, the daughter of the master of Taichu Pavilion. Please listen carefully to me. If you dare to play tricks... I, Xiao Yanxi, swear to the sky that even if If you hide at the end of the world, I will use the power of the entire Taichu Pavilion to pull you out and cut you into pieces. "

Chu Gaohan's expression changed greatly, but he was very confused in his heart... Mr. Le, one of the four princes of Taichu Pavilion, was actually a woman?

But when he saw Xiao Yanxi's expression, it didn't look like he was lying.

And he heard that Taichu Pavilion seemed to have indeed surrendered to Ning Chen, and the entire Taichu Pavilion had moved to Xuanwu City.

No one in the world dares to underestimate the strength of Taichu Pavilion.

It is too easy to find someone in Taichu Pavilion.

He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Miss Xiao, I will do my best to help the prince succeed."

Ning Chen and Pan Yucheng have already changed into the military uniforms worn by killers, which are actually the clothes of ordinary soldiers.

Ning Chen deliberately made a few cuts on his military uniform and smeared blood on his face. It looked like he had experienced a hard battle.

Then, he cut off another killer's head and wrapped it in cloth.

Ning Chen changed his sword to an ordinary long knife, because that was what the killer used.

He checked it several times to make sure there were no flaws before setting off.

.......

In the city, the sounds of fighting and screams resounded through the sky.

Leng Wenyan has already returned to the city lord's palace.

He knew very well that he would not be the winner of this battle.

Therefore, he was ready to withdraw his troops.

But before leaving, he wanted to take away all the good things he had collected.

In front of the city lord's mansion, there were more than a dozen carriages parked.

Countless soldiers were moving boxes in and out.

In these boxes, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, pearls, agates, gold, silver and jade, all valuable things.

"Hurry up... move quickly!

You guys be careful, if you fall, you can't afford to sell you."

Leng Wenyan's confidant shouted loudly.

"Report..."

A soldier rode over, got off the horse when he came to the front, and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, the baggage camp is ready and is withdrawing outside the city."

The most important thing in a war is food and grass.

Therefore, the baggage camp must be withdrawn first.

Leng Wenyan, wearing armor and holding a sharp weapon, rode a tall horse, nodded slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Pass on my order, let the army fight and retreat, from the west gate..."

"Report..."

Before Leng Wenyan finished speaking, he was interrupted by a loud report.

The person who came this time was a confidant of Leng Wenyan, named Dan Wu.

Dan Wu was so excited that he shouted at the top of his lungs before his horse had even stopped: "Your Highness, it's done, it's done..."

Leng Wenyan frowned, "What did it mean?"

"Your Highness, Chu Gaohan and his men succeeded."

Leng Wenyan's expression froze for a moment, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. His face flushed with excitement, "You mean... you mean Ning Chen is dead?"

"Yes! Chu Gaohan and his men succeeded, and they brought back Ning Chen's head."

Leng Wenyan's voice was trembling with excitement, "Where are Chu Gaohan and his men?"

"They are in the back, escorted by my men, and will be here soon."

As he was talking, a group of people rushed towards this side, and the leader was Chu Gaohan, holding something wrapped in black cloth, which was still dripping with blood.
