The Return of the Demon

After Ning Chen arranged for Yuan Long and others, he rode to General Chen's mansion.

General Chen is old and disabled, so he can be said to have retired and rarely shows up.

The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces the old.

Old General Chen has protected Daxuan and His Majesty all his life. Now he has passed the baton to Ning Chen and can retire with peace of mind.

The old general was playing with the birds. When he heard that Ning Chen was coming, he asked someone to invite him in quickly.

"Old general, where are you playing with birds?"

General Chen felt that Ning Chen's expression was strange, but he didn't think much about it and asked with a smile: "Why are you here?"

Ning Chen explained everything roughly!

Old General Chen frowned slightly, "That's not right. You hurt South Vietnam last time. South Vietnam will not start a war with Daxuan within three to five years... There is definitely a conspiracy."

Ning Chen said: "I also feel that something is wrong, but I can't see any clues."

"But there is an emergency at the border and it is related to the safety of Daxuan. I still have to go there...Old general, I came here this time just because I want you to come to the palace more often after I leave and accompany His Majesty to relieve your boredom. With you here, I can rest assured. ”

General Chen nodded, "Okay!"

Ning Chen stayed at Old General Chen's mansion for a while, then left. After coming out, he rode straight to Li Hanru's mansion.

Sure enough, His Majesty handed over the matter of presiding over the spring palace to Li Hanru.

The two chatted for about half an hour, and then Ning Chen went to find Geng Jing, Nie Liang, and the city defense army camp.

After settling everything, Ning Chen returned home.

"Ning Lang is going on an expedition again?"

Seeing that there were many people from the Ning'an Army in the house, Yudie guessed that Ning Chen was going to travel far away... Sure enough, it was now confirmed.

Ning Chen smiled bitterly, "There is an emergency at the border, there is nothing we can do about it!"

However, a sudden expedition is not without its advantages.

The lieutenant and the officials could not afford to kneel down. It was obvious that His Majesty also had a headache.

It just so happened that he resigned from the post of examiner, which could be regarded as giving an explanation to those people.

Originally, Ning Chen planned to rest in Yudie and Zisu's room.

However, the two of them rushed to accompany the Ninth Princess on the pretext that they had to accompany their first wife before the expedition!

"You want to go on an expedition?" Ninth Duke asked, his face full of surprise, "What about presiding over the spring palace?"

"Li Hanru will take over from me...Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. I'm sweating after running for a day. Please help me take a shower."

The Ninth Princess pouted her rosy mouth, "You are getting more and more outrageous now, how dare you let me take care of you to take a bath?"

Ning Chen flicked her forehead, "Outside you are Princess Daxuan, at home you are my wife... It is natural for a wife to serve her husband. I will teach you a game of opening clams under water later."

Princess Ninth rubbed her forehead and glared at him angrily, "You... hum, Lotus Leaf, prepare hot water."

Ning Chen smiled.

He turned to look at He Ye who was walking out, and suddenly smiled: "How old is He Ye this year?"

The lotus leaf is good-looking, with white and tender skin, and looks like a little girl. She has taken care of the princess all the year round, and is somewhat aristocratic. She is also smart and sensible.

The Ninth Princess looked at him warily, "You are not satisfied with me and my two sisters, and you are attracted to He Ye again?"

"I can tell you, He Ye has always taken care of me, and I won't let her be my intercourse girl."

Ning Chen had a black line on his forehead, "What are you thinking about?"

"Then why are you asking He Ye Da Da?"

"I was thinking that He Ye has reached the age of getting married... I think Senior Brother Xie is good. He is handsome and has good kung fu."

Princess Ninth's almond-shaped eyes widened, "Are you talking about Senior Brother Xie who sits on the roof every day?"

Ning Chen nodded.

"No, absolutely not!"

Ning Chen differed, "Why?"

The Ninth Princess snorted, "I won't let He Ye marry a fool."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched fiercely, "Why is Senior Brother Xie such a fool?"

"He sits on the roof with his sword in hand every day and doesn't talk to anyone. He shouldn't think he's handsome like that, right?" Princess Ninth pointed to her head and whispered: "There must be something wrong with him."

Ning Chen had a black line on his forehead. It would be so sad if Xie Siyu heard these words.

"Senior Brother Xie is a killer, but he talks less... He sits on the roof because he can see far from the top and can better protect everyone's safety."

"His background as a killer?" Ninth Princess widened her eyes and shook her head repeatedly, "Then we can't marry He Ye to him. If He Ye makes him unhappy one day, wouldn't that mean his life is lost?"

Ning Chen was speechless, "He is a killer, not a murderer."

Just as he was talking, He Ye asked someone to bring in the bathtub and fill it with hot water.

Ning Chen asked them all to get down, then stripped naked and jumped into the tub.

Immediately, he pulled the Ninth Princess in, who was half-pushed, and taught her how to open clams underwater.

When the water cooled slightly, Ning Chen picked up Ninth Princess and walked to the bed.

As the saying goes... After bathing in Tanlang, you will feel the coolness of the spirit and the purple grapes.

The bed curtains dropped.

The big bed swayed rhythmically.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that a few pitiful drops of bodhi water were poured into the two petals of the red lotus, and then he fell into a deep sleep.

...

The next day, morning.

Ning Chen took Pan Yucheng, Feng Qizheng, and Yue Congyun away from Ning Chen and came to the south gate.

The battle flags blew in the wind, and the army gathered.

The Ning'an Army was already ready to go.

Eunuch Quan came to see him off on behalf of His Majesty.

Then, following Ning Chen's order, the army set off.

The border was in a hurry, so we marched in a hurry.

Thousands of troops and horses, and the iron cavalry is clanging.

The peddler who was resting at the city gate watched the army go away, and then he returned to the city with his load.

Ning Chen led the army and hurried all the way.

He shortened the journey of a month to more than 20 days.

More than 20 days later, Ning Chen arrived at the southern border.

Tong Yuanzhou, the southern border guard, led people to meet him five miles out of the city.

The two were old acquaintances.

After a few simple greetings, Ning Chen asked about the current situation in the southern border.

"What did you say? Did the South Vietnam withdraw its troops?"

Ning Chen's voice rose eight degrees.

Tong Yuanzhou nodded.

"When did it happen?"

Tong Yuanzhou said: "Yesterday!"

Ning Chen frowned. The South Vietnam withdrew its troops the day before he arrived. What kind of operation was this?

"Didn't you send an urgent message for eight hundred miles, saying that the border was in danger?"

Tong Yuanzhou nodded, "I exaggerated. The South Vietnamese army attacked the city four times, and they were like crazy, fearless... The last time, the city gate was almost breached."

Ning Chen frowned.

"Let's go, take me to the city gate!"

Tong Yuanzhou nodded hurriedly.

The army entered the city, and the Ning'an army went to the camp to set up camp.

Ning Chen came to the top of the city.

Outside the city, the traces left by the war were clearly visible. On the walls outside the city wall, large patches of black were like splashed ink, which was dried blood.

All this is enough to prove that Tong Yuanzhou did not lie, and there had been a fierce battle here recently.

Ning Chen's eyes flickered, thinking about what the South Vietnamese intended to do?

Suddenly launched a fierce attack, and then withdrew the troops the day before he arrived...What were they trying to do?

You have to know that in this battle, South Vietnam lost thousands of people.

"General Tong, tell me the story again, in every detail."

Tong Yuanzhou nodded and began to speak slowly.
