The Return of the Demon

Half a month later, Ning Chen led his army to escort the supplies back to the southern border.

Such huge supplies naturally have to be transported back to Daxuan Capital.

There is currently no news about Zhong Xiuwen and others.

Ning Chen planned to rest for two days. If there was no news, he would return to Beijing first.

At this time, An Di had already received the good news.

In the morning, Emperor An was sitting on the dragon chair, with hundreds of civil and military officials standing on both sides.

Andy's delicate little face couldn't hide the joy.

Today's Emperor An is no longer the quirky, naughty and cute Ninth Princess.

She is now considered a qualified emperor.

Emperor An said: "Dear ladies, before today's discussion, I have good news to share with you."

With that said, he picked up the folder on the dragon case and said with a smile: "This is the good news that the regent sent people to send back quickly.

Dear Sirs, the regent led his army to capture the Imperial City of Nanyue and returned with a great victory. "

One stone stirs up a thousand waves.

All civil and military officials in the dynasty were shocked!

There was a dead silence in the court hall, and then there was an explosion.

Disturbing the court was a serious crime... but everyone couldn't hide their shock.

Captured the Imperial City of South Vietnam?

This is a feat that has never been achieved by anyone in the past dynasties.

This battle will be remembered for eternity, enough to make Ning Chen a god.

Not to mention Ning Chen, even for ordinary soldiers, the genealogy has to be opened on a separate page.

Others were fine, a little envious, and all that was left was admiration. After all, this was the honor that the soldiers had fought for with their lives.

But the eyes of those officials and censors are red with jealousy... Isn't this their lifelong pursuit to leave their names in history and open family trees?

Li Hanru, Ji Mingchen and others narrowed their eyes when they smiled, and their faces looked like blooming chrysanthemums.

Behind the bead curtain, Emperor Xuan was also smiling from ear to ear.

In fact, he knew the news last night, but when he heard it again now, he still couldn't hide his excitement.

This brat is so shameless.

The frail young man he protected at the beginning is now the white jade pillar of Daxuan, holding up the purple golden beam across the sea.

The more powerful Ning Chen is, the happier he is... and how proud he is!

After all, he was the one who discovered Ning Chen.

How did Ning Chen say that? It is said that a thousand-mile horse always exists, but a bole does not always exist.

Emperor Xuan doesn’t know who Bole is? But I understand the meaning of this sentence... It means that there are many talented people in the world, but what is lacking is the people who discover them.

Emperor An put down the victory report in his hand and said: "The regent invaded from Qimu City in South Vietnam, fought all the way to the Imperial City of South Vietnam, and rode on horseback to the Imperial Palace of South Vietnam.

The Emperor of South Vietnam and all the civil and military officials were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled. The supplies captured in this battle are immeasurable, which is enough to alleviate the current food shortage in Daxuan.

Counting the time, the regent should have returned to the southern border by now... I believe he will arrive in the capital soon. "

The civil and military officials had different expressions and whispered.

When Ning Chen came back, some people were really happy and some were worried.

Emperor Xuan, Eunuch Quan, Li Hanru and others were naturally very happy.

But those officials and censors were not happy.

They usually tease Ning Chen behind his back... They are worried that Ning Chen will come back to settle the accounts with them.

Emperor An looked at an official and said indifferently: "Li Aiqing, you have submitted several memorials to me a few days ago, asking me to find some faces... I wonder if Li Aiqing has anyone to recommend?"

The official named Li turned pale. How could His Majesty tell this matter in court?

Doesn't this cost him his life?

Ning Chen is about to return to Beijing. If Ning Chen knew about this, it would be weird if he didn't skin him.

He is also thinking about His Majesty. Ning Chen spends 365 days a year and 360 days fighting abroad... He is just afraid that His Majesty will be lonely and wants His Majesty to find some friends, such as he has a nephew. , was born with a good skin, very suitable for making faces.

He knelt on the ground with a plop and said in panic: "My lord, this is just a suggestion. Your Majesty does not need to take it seriously."

An Di said coldly: "Li Aiqing's suggestion is very good. Don't suggest it next time... How about I suggest you go home and retire?"

The official surnamed Li was so frightened that he was scared out of his wits. "Your Majesty, please have mercy. Please have mercy..."

An Di waved his hand, "Okay, I won't do this again!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Emperor An's eyes fell on another official, who trembled and quickly lowered his head.

Emperor An snorted coldly, his eyes moved and fell on another official... The latter also had the same expression, his face changed, and he lowered his head in fear.

An Di looked away, and these people suggested to her that she should pay more attention every day.

At first she didn't understand why these people were so concerned about her private life... Only after asking Emperor Xuan did she find out that these people had their own Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.

Once she wants to meet someone, these people will do everything possible to get their relatives in.

On the outside he is all about righteousness, but in his heart he is all about business.

Emperor An looked at the civil and military officials with cold eyes and said: "I will keep all the discounts you gave me."

Everyone's hearts tightened, why should they stay? Show it to Ning Chen?

Emperor An continued: "The regent will return to Beijing soon. He has made extraordinary contributions this time, and I can't think of how to reward him.

I'm already annoyed enough, so all my dear friends, please be calm these days and don't make me more annoyed. "

The implication is that Ning Chen will be back soon. Those who are dishonest should be honest with me. Don't make him unhappy by proposing that I find a boss. If he is unhappy, don't blame me for dealing with you. .

To sum it up in two words, that is... protecting her husband.

The Emperor Xuan behind the pearl curtain was full of satisfaction.

His Huai'an had grown up, and now he could suppress all the civil and military officials in the court.

It seemed that he would be able to retire completely soon.

He had said before that when the world was pacified, Ning Chen would take him to travel through the eighteen states of Daxuan.

But now he decided to go by himself.

He was old, and when Ning Chen pacified the world, I wonder if he would be there?

Now, Huai'an was able to take charge of things on his own. Although he was still a little immature in handling government affairs, with the assistance of Li Hanru and others, it would not be a big problem.

Ning Chen would definitely not stay in Beijing for long this time because he had to fight Xiangzhou.

When Ning Chen went to recover the East, he would take Eunuch Quan away from the capital... while traveling around the world, waiting for Ning Chen to come to him.

He had to travel through the eighteen states of Daxuan with General Chen's last wish.

But Daxuan was too big, and he had to leave as soon as possible... otherwise he might not be able to finish the journey in his lifetime.

I think Ning Chen would agree with him doing this.

.......

Ning Chen rested at the border for two days, but there was no news of Zhong Xiuwen.

The Emperor of Gaoli Kingdom did not reply.

Ning Chen was unwilling to wait.

It was about to fall.

He had to return to the capital as soon as possible to recover the eastern border before it snowed.

Once it snowed, Zhang Tianlun, the bastard, could live another year.

He asked Xiao Yanxi to continue investigating Zhong Xiuwen's whereabouts while leading the army to escort the supplies back to the capital.

Another half a month passed in a flash.

Ning Chen arrived in Yangzhou.

He planned to rest in Yangzhou for a day and then continue on his way.

In the evening, Ning Chen was preparing to attend the banquet of the officials of Yangzhou Daxuan...This is normal interpersonal communication.

You can't be too close to your subordinates, but you can't be too distant.

It just so happens that you can take the opportunity to learn about the situation in Yangzhou.

Ning Chen came to the agreed restaurant, where the wine and food had been prepared. Just as he picked up the wine glass, Xiao Yanxi suddenly came.
