The Return of the Demon

"My eyes are dim and I didn't know it was the Regent. I deserve death. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy!"

The old village chief's face was filled with fear.

They didn't expect that the young man in front of them was the famous Regent Ning Chen.

Ning Chen leaned over and helped the old village chief up, smiling and saying, "Ignorance is not a crime, what crime has it committed? Old man, please get up quickly, and all of you should get up too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"

After thanking him, everyone stood up and looked at the famous legendary figure in front of them with fear and curiosity.

The old village chief shouted, "Haifeng, Hailang, both of you come here."

Haifeng and Hailang walked over.

The old village chief said: "Today, I, an old man, have made the decision. You two should follow the prince.

Our entire village will provide for your parents, wives and children, and we will never treat them unfairly.

I often tell you that the most important thing in life is to repay kindness.

Without the prince, how can there be peace in the East? The prince is our benefactor and the patron saint of Daxuan... We are all proud of you for following him."

Haifeng and Hailang looked at each other with excitement.

They also didn't expect that the handsome young man in front of them was the legend of Daxuan.

The two of them knelt down and said, "Village Chief, we are willing to serve the prince... We leave our families in your care."

The old village chief stroked his white beard and said seriously, "Don't worry about this. If you follow the prince, you must not bring shame to our Tianci Village. As for your family, as long as there is one person alive in Tianci Village, they will not suffer."

The two men kowtowed heavily to the old village chief.

Immediately, he turned to look at Ning Chen, "I, Haifeng (Hailang), am willing to follow His Majesty and serve you."

Ning Chen was overjoyed, helped the two of them up, and laughed, "Well, I am finally here this time."

Haifeng leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, can you allow us to say goodbye to our families?"

"Of course, I will set up camp here tonight, and we will set out tomorrow morning."

The two of them were filled with gratitude and said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Old Pan, give them thirty taels of silver."

Pan Yucheng took out thirty taels of silver.

Haifeng and Hailang waved their hands repeatedly and said in panic: "This, this, this...we can't have this."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "This is your military pay for this year, it is what you deserve...Take it back and give it to your family.

From now on, if you go home to visit your family, you can bring back your annual military pay yourself... If you are too busy to come back, I will send someone to deliver it."

The reason why Ning Chen didn't give more was because of his consideration for their families.

The two able-bodied men, Haifeng and Hailang, have left. The family is left with only the elderly, women and children. They cannot have too much money in the house to avoid being coveted by others.

He said that he would send people to deliver military pay every year to warn others not to have any bad intentions.

Only by protecting their families can soldiers fight on the front lines with peace of mind.

He planned to ask Emperor An to promulgate a major law after returning to the capital this time, which would protect the families of all soldiers... Those who insulted and harmed the families of soldiers would be punished with a heavier crime and would not be forgiven lightly.

Only then did Haifeng and Hailang agree to accept it.

The old village chief said, "Hurry up and notify everyone to get moving and prepare dinner for the military lords."

Ning Chen hurriedly said: "Old Village Chief, don't bother, we have brought food supplies.

Moreover, we have military discipline. We are not allowed to disturb the people or eat for free, otherwise we will be punished by military law."

The old village chief was anxious. "How can this be possible? You saved Tianci Village. We can't just do nothing, right? Wouldn't that be ungrateful?"

"This..." Ning Chen thought for a moment and said, "Well, the weather is a bit cold, how about asking the old village chief to make some fish soup for us to warm us up?"

The old village chief nodded happily, "No problem, no problem..."

It is a bit difficult to provide food for more than a thousand people at once, but there is as much fish soup as needed...The thing that Linhai has the most is fish.

The old village chief asked people to prepare quickly.

Here, Feng Qi was leading his men to almost clean up the battlefield.

Ning Chen gave the order to set up camp on the spot and wait for the fish soup.

Night falls.

The villagers carried steaming fish soup to the military camp.

The soldiers also generously distributed their dried meat and coarse grain cakes to the villagers.

A bonfire was lit on the beach.

The villagers taught the soldiers their sacrificial dance, and both the military and civilians enjoyed themselves.

Ning Chen carried a bowl of fish soup, walked to the beach and sat down. Looking back at the dancing crowd, he couldn't help laughing.

The soldiers have been running around for half a month and killed a lot of people today. It's time to relax.

The reason why he stayed away was because the soldiers couldn't let go because of his presence.

Tan Tai Qing Yue, Pan Yu Cheng and Feng Qi were walking over.

Pan Yucheng hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ning Chen, I have a question that I have always been curious about. I don't know if I should ask it or not?"

Ning Chen said: "If you don't know, don't ask."

Pan Yucheng: “….”

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Just kidding, is there anything we can't ask each other?"

Pan Yucheng asked, "Why do you hate the Showa people so much?"

Ning Chen was slightly startled, because not long ago, Xiao Yanxi had asked the same question.

"Because they are not human, they are all beasts... I once read an ancient book that said that these beasts in Showa broke into a country and committed heinous crimes. They did this just to make a bet on whether the baby in a pregnant woman's belly was a boy or a girl. To do this, they would cut open the belly of a pregnant woman, killing two people.

In order to study drugs to treat frostbite, they would pour water on the arms and legs of living people in the coldest days of winter, and watch their arms and legs turn into popsicles that would shatter when hit.

In order to study the plague, they would infect three-year-old children and watch their bodies rot bit by bit.

They raped, robbed, and committed all kinds of evil... The number of people killed by them was not just one or two, but millions and tens of millions..."

Suddenly, there was a bang.

Ning Chen was too excited and crushed the soup bowl in his hand.

Pan Yucheng patted Ning Chen on the shoulder and said soothingly, "I see. No wonder you hate them so much... What they did is indeed unworthy of being called human beings."

Feng Qi was angrily saying, "When I set foot in Showa Country, I will kill them all."

"Okay, let's stop talking about these unhappy things. This time, we annihilated the Showa people and gained two people who are good at water. This is a happy event." Xiao Yanxi said, and handed over the bowl in her hand, "Drink mine."

Feng Qi was looking at the sparkling sea and said, "Ning Chen, I suddenly feel like writing poetry. How about we compete?"

Ning Chen and the others were stunned.

This fool actually still has a poetic inspiration. Ever since he wrote the poem "The Girl's Butt is as White as Snow", Feng Qizhen hasn't produced any works of poetry.

Ning Chen looked at him with interest, "Feng Da is smart, you go first."

Feng Qi was looking very proud, "Come on, I'm full of ideas... But does this competition have to have a prize?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Whoever loses will give the other party one hundred taels of silver."

Feng Qizheng nodded, "Okay, I'll start then, everyone listen carefully, a masterpiece is about to be born.

Ah...the sea, it's all water.

A fine horse, with four legs.

Girl, you are so beautiful, you even have two mouths.

In the past, we kissed mouth to mouth, but now we kiss mouth to legs.

Ah....Ah....”

The lyricism turned into a scream.

Feng Qizhen was kicked on the butt by Pan Yucheng and flew out, landing on the beach with a thud.

Ning Chen and others' mouths twitched. What the hell was this?
