The Return of the Demon

At noon that day, Yuan Long and Qi Yuanzhong arrived with their troops!

Ning Chen asked the army to be stationed and take action at night.

In the camp, Ning Chen was looking at the map at his desk.

In seven more days, we can reach Holy Light City.

You will pass through a desert on the way. Although it can be passed in half a day, there is no guarantee that Xiliang soldiers will not ambush you here, so you still have to be careful!

Ning Chen asked someone to call Yuan Long over and told him to take people to find water.

When passing through the desert, be sure to bring enough water.

On that day, Ning Chen did not use troops.

They rested until the next day, when the army set off and headed straight for Holy Light City.

Ning Chen didn't walk very fast.

First, after being delayed for two or three days by the woman Tantai Qingyue, Xiliang must have mobilized all its soldiers.

Second, he mobilized 100,000 troops from the border and had to wait for them.

He guessed that Xiliang would gather quite a lot of troops in Holy Light City this time.

Because if Holy Light City can't stop him, then it can no longer stop him from moving forward.

Two days later, Ning Chen arrived at the edge of the desert.

But when he was about to enter the desert, the scouts came quickly to report that it was Xiliang who came to see him.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, "How many people are here?"

"Go back to your lord, there are twelve of them."

Ning Chen thought for a moment and ordered the army to set up camp.

Immediately, he asked the scouts to bring envoys from Xiliang to see him.

Ning Chen sat in the tent and waited.

Masters such as Pan Yucheng, Feng Qizheng, Yue Congyun are all there.

"Report to your lord, an envoy from Xiliang has come to ask for an audience!"

Outside the tent, a clear voice sounded.

Ning Chen put down the tea cup and said indifferently: "Bring him in!"

The curtain opened...the scout came in with a man.

Ning Chen looked at the envoy from Xiliang. He was a middle-aged man wearing Confucian clothes, with an elegant face, and holding a staff.

The staff is made of bamboo and represents integrity.

"Xiliang envoy Guanchi has met the king of Daxuan Town!"

Guanchi leaned over and saluted and said hello.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "Guanchi? One of the seven stars of Xiliang Fengyun Hall?"

Upon hearing this name, Ning Chen immediately thought of his identity.

Recently, in his spare time, Pan Yucheng told him in detail about the structure and key figures of Fengyun Hall.

This Guanchi is one of the Seven Lights of Fengyun Hall.

Guan Chi's face was full of humility, "It is a great honor for an unknown person to be remembered by the king!"

The corners of Ning Chen's lips raised slightly, "I know you are here because of Fang Pu...and his head is stored in the king's camp."

The corner of Guan Chi's mouth twitched slightly!

Ning Chen looked at him with interest, "There are all strange people in Fengyun Hall. Since you are one of the Qiyao, you must be the best among them... Guanchi, I would like to know what is strange about you." "Using ordinary people's methods?"

Guan Chi said modestly: "I'm ashamed, I'm just an ordinary person, barely a scholar... I don't have any means that are different from ordinary people. What I can do is play music, chess, calligraphy, painting, music, and tea tasting. Something elegant.”

"Your Majesty is very talented, and whatever you do casually is an eternal masterpiece... In front of Your Majesty, I don't seem to be even a scholar."

Ning Chen looked at him and said playfully: "You are too modest...the things you mentioned are complex but not simple, but it is difficult to master everything."

"Those who are proficient in chess are good at strategies. If you are proficient in chess, calligraphy and painting...it means you are a very smart and profound person."

Guan Chi leaned over, his face full of humility, "Your Majesty, you are so complimentary. In front of Your Majesty, who dares to say that he is extremely smart?"

Ning Chen said indifferently: "You don't need to put a high hat on me, just tell me why you're here, right?"

Guan Chi leaned over and said, "I'm here to persuade you to make peace."

Ning Chen looked at him with a half-smile, "Send off guests!"

Guan Chi's expression suddenly froze, and everyone was confused. Why didn't he play his cards according to the routine?

Feng Qi was staring at him and said with a smile: "Please!"

Guan Chi's face twitched and he looked at Ning Chen and said, "Your Majesty, it is related to Wu Kingdom. Please allow me to explain it in detail... I guarantee that Your Majesty will not be disappointed after hearing this."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Is it related to Wu Kingdom?"

Guanchi said: "Your Majesty, the Tuoluo Kingdom has always been a serious problem for Daxuan and Wu Kingdoms. Their cavalry is fast and they often plunder and harass the borders of Daxuan and Wu Kingdoms."

"The Tuoluo Kingdom previously submitted a letter of surrender, willing to bow its head and pay tribute to Daxuan every year, but now it has gone back on its promise. This approach is really disgusting."

"If the prince is willing to make peace with Xiliang, Xiliang is willing to help the prince to pacify the Tuoluo Kingdom."

Ning Chen had a strange expression and said, "If I remember correctly, Xiliang and Tuoluo Kingdom are allies, right? When you said that you were going back on your word, you didn't even blush."

Guan Chi said solemnly: "Yes, Tuoluo Kingdom and Xiliang are indeed allies... But in this catastrophe in Xiliang, Tuoluo Kingdom did not send troops to support, so it's okay not to use this kind of ally!"

"Xiliang is willing to join forces with Daxuan to destroy the Tuoluo Kingdom... As long as the prince nods, Xiliang's 500,000 troops are willing to assist the prince in sending troops to the Tuoluo Kingdom immediately."

Ning Chen's eyes were contemptuous, "It's true that a dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist... You have said so much, and the last sentence is the key point, right?"

"You want to say that if I don't agree, I will have to face Xiliang's 500,000 troops, right?"

Guan Chi leaned over and said humbly: "Xiliang does not want to be an enemy of the prince."

Ning Chen sneered: "Do you don't want to or don't dare? Or have you misremembered how many Xiliang troops there are?"

Ning Chen said and couldn't help laughing.

"Five hundred thousand troops, hahahaha... a barbarian land, a tiny country, your five hundred thousand troops include even the old, weak, women and children of Xiliang, right?"

Guan Chi's old face flushed.

Ning Chen said disdainfully: "It's difficult for you Xiliang to gather two hundred thousand troops, right? But it doesn't matter. Even if you really have five hundred thousand troops, you can't stop the king's steps."

"Now the king says, listen carefully... Fang Pu murdered my Prince Daxuan, pretended to be my Emperor Daxuan, and Xing Shan led an army of 150,000 to slaughter my Daxuan city... So, wanting to negotiate is pure dreaming."

"Duo Luo country, you don't need your help, the king will solve it... Go back and tell you that the king of Xiliang has only two options. First, write a letter of surrender and bow down. Second, destroy the country."

Coming to negotiate at this time can only prove that they are guilty.

Still want to join forces to destroy Tuo Luo country, dreaming... Some time ago, they were as close as brothers with Tuo Luo country, but now they turn around and stab it in the back.

How could Ning Chen cooperate with such an erratic villain?

Besides, what if this is a conspiracy between Xiliang and Tuoluo? When they get to Tuoluo, they will attack from both sides.

He will first attack Xiliang and then Tuoluo.

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Old Feng, send him away!"
