The Return of the Demon

Seven days later, Ning Chen led the army to Biluo City.

Biluo City is one of the richest cities in Nanyue, but it had been looted by Ning Chen long ago.

This rich city is now in ruins, and the people have fled for their lives, almost becoming an empty city.

Ning Chen rested in Biluo City for a day, and then continued to set off.

Ten days later, he appeared in Qimu City.

Because he brought too many things, the marching speed was slow.

In a flash, more than 20 days passed, and Ning Chen was about to reach Wangyue City in Gaoli Country.

But Ning Chen did not dare to be careless at all.

The supplies they brought, let alone one person, were enough to make a country greedy.

At the same time, Kang Luo, who was far away in Xiangzhou, also received the news.

Recently, Kang Luo was in a bad mood.

Because of the issue of whether to take the initiative to attack, he and Zhang Tianlun had a very unpleasant quarrel.

Another point is that he has had nightmares recently, and he often has the same nightmare. He dreamed that Ning Chen led his army to capture the Nanyue Imperial City, and raped Kang Baobao in front of him, and even chopped off his father's head with a knife.

Kang Xiao comforted him, saying that he was too tired recently and didn't get enough rest!

Another thing that made him extremely irritable was that the idiot Zong Sibai was controlled by Zhang Tianlun.

Zhang Tianlun took Zong Sibai's child to his side in the name of care... This caused Zong Sibai to be timid now.

Kang Luo was upset.

Xiangzhou is Zhang Tianlun's territory. Zhang Tianlun can afford it, but he can't.

Zhang Tianlun, this bastard, not only did not take the initiative to attack, but recently began to withhold his military pay and food from the Nanyue army.

It was said before that after they formed an alliance, Zhang Tianlun would be responsible for the food and military pay of Nanyue.

But now it's not the case at all.

Kang Luo felt that he was tricked by Zhang Tianlun.

In fact, his feeling was not wrong at all. He was indeed tricked by Zhang Tianlun.

Zhang Tianlun was not stupid. He guessed that Ning Chen would not let him go. He would definitely attack Xiangzhou after the spring, because now Daxuan had not recovered the eastern territory occupied by him.

In order to make Daxuan's territory complete, Ning Chen would definitely attack him first.

The 150,000 troops in his hands would definitely not be able to stop Ning Chen.

So, he tricked Kang Luo here.

It was originally agreed that Zhang Tianlun would be responsible for the military pay and food for the Nanyue army.

But when the Nanyue army arrived, Zhang Tianlun delayed giving the military pay and food, waiting for the Nanyue army to eat up the food he brought, and then gave it little by little.

He couldn't let the Nanyue army have too much silver and food.

With enough food and silver, the Nanyue army could return to Nanyue at any time. Then who would deal with Ning Chen?

So Zhang Tianlun would give food little by little to ensure that you would not starve to death, but there would not be enough food to return to Nanyue, so stay in Xiangzhou obediently.

This is his territory, and he is not worried about South Vietnam turning against him.

In other words, now the 150,000 South Vietnamese army has to rely on Zhang Tianlun for food, drink, and defecation, so how dare they turn against him?

In the hall, the sound of stringed instruments is pleasant, and the dancers twist their slender waists and dance gracefully.

Kang Luo and Kang Xiao walked in.

Kang Luo came to find Zhang Tianlun specifically. He wanted to know what Zhang Tianlun's plan was? He couldn't just keep wasting time like this, right?

Seeing Zhang Tianlun drinking, hugging the beauty, and enjoying the singing and dancing, Kang Luo sucked his teeth and was so angry that his stomach hurt.

Zhang Tianlun saw the two people coming in and said with a smile: "Please sit down, both of you!

Come on, serve the wine."

Kang Luo suppressed his anger and sat down, and asked: "I want to know, what are your plans? Are we just going to wait like this?"

Zhang Tianlun asked back: "What else?"

Kang Luo was furious: "If Ning Chen never takes the initiative to attack in his life, are we just going to wait like this?"

Zhang Tianlun smiled and said: "If Ning Chen never takes the initiative to attack in his life, isn't this a great thing for us?"

Kang Luo's face was ashen, thinking that it must be a great thing for you, but for him, he couldn't let the hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese troops stay in Xiangzhou forever, right?

But he didn't have any food and grass in his hands, so he couldn't withdraw his troops.

Kang Luo suppressed his anger and said, "When we formed the alliance, we agreed that you would be responsible for the food and grass of our Nanyue army.

But now, not only can we not see the military pay, but the food and grass are also greatly reduced. My Nanyue soldiers can't eat enough."

Zhang Tianlun looked at Kang Luo, his face full of embarrassment, sighed deeply, and said, "You also know that I left Daxuan Capital in a hurry, didn't bring much things, and the supplies were scarce.

But don't worry, I will find a way to do what I promised. Even if I don't eat or drink, I will make sure that the Nanyue soldiers are well fed."

Kang Luo almost couldn't help but grab the wine pot on the table and smash it.

Everyone knows that when Zhang Tianlun, this grandson, left Daxuan Capital, he emptied the Daxuan treasury.

Kang Luo didn't expect that he would be fooled by Zhang Tianlun, this idiot.

He never took Zhang Tianlun seriously, but he didn't expect that this idiot would have such a mind?

Kang Luo glanced at Zong Sibai and thought to himself that he couldn't wait any longer.

It seems that we need to have a good talk with Zong Sibai.

Zong Sibai has planted many of his own people in the East Border Army, and his only bloodline is in Zhang Tianlun's hands... He hates Zhang Tianlun more than himself.

"Get out, all of you get out..."

Suddenly, there was a noise outside, and the sound of metal clashing between weapons.

Zhang Tianlun and others were all startled.

At this moment, a burly middle-aged man rushed in with a knife.

This is Kang Luo's man, and his name is Li Jie.

Several of Zhang Tianlun's guards followed closely behind.

The guards around Zhang Tianlun immediately stepped forward, swords drawn, and protected Zhang Tianlun.

Zhang Tianlun was furious and looked at Kang Luo, "Prince of Nanyue, are your people going to assassinate the king? The court is an important place, and they entered with knives... If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Kang Luo and Kang Xiao looked at Li Jie.

Li Jie was carefully trained by Kang Xiao, and then given to Kang Luo to be in charge of intelligence... He is a steady person, and if nothing big happened, he would never lose his composure like this.

Kang Luo said in a deep voice: "Li Jie, what's wrong with you?"

Li Jie's face was full of panic, "Your Highness, something bad has happened, Ning Chen led..." Suddenly, Li Jie glanced at Zhang Tianlun and stopped talking.

But everyone heard Ning Chen's name.

Zhang Tianlun asked in a deep voice: "What did you say Ning Chen led just now? Did he lead the army to attack?"

Li Jie looked at Kang Luo and Kang Xiao, hesitating to speak.

Kang Luo said: "We are allies. If it's about Ning Chen, please speak up as soon as possible."

Kang Luo was not worried at all. He was even a little excited...If Ning Chen led his army to attack, that would be great. He could finally send troops and no longer be led by Zhang Tianlun.

Li Jie hesitated for a long time before speaking: "Grand Prince, Your Highness, I just received news that Ning Chen led his army to capture the Nanyue Imperial City."
