The Return of the Demon

The next day, morning!

Pang Yuande and the four chiefs were all dragged to the market and beheaded in public.

Ning Chen wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

The court would definitely appoint officials to supervise the construction of Xuanwu City.

If the officials behind could not be suppressed at once, then corruption and bribery could not be eliminated.

The pardon notice also spread.

When the people of Xiliang learned that Ning Chen would let them go home after the construction of Xuanwu City was completed, they worked harder!

Moreover, whether it was the people of Xiliang or the prisoners of Daxuan, they were even more grateful to Ning Chen when they learned that they would be paid for their work.

As for Ning Xing and Ning Mao, Jiang Hui arranged clerical work for them, which was very relaxing to do some records on weekdays.

On this day, Ning Chen asked people to prepare wine and food and called Ning Xing and Ning Mao.

"The criminals are here to see the prince!"

The two men saw Ning Chen and saluted respectfully.

Ning Chen pointed to the stool, "Sit down!"

The two men sat down tremblingly.

The person in front of them is the most powerful prince in Daxuan now, second only to the emperor... Not to mention them, even the senior officials in the court would be terrified when they saw him.

Because Ning Chen is not only powerful, but also a killer on the battlefield. The murderous aura he exudes inadvertently makes people tremble.

Ning Chen picked up the wine pot and said while pouring wine: "Is this the first time for the three of us brothers to sit at the same table to eat?"

Ning Xing and Ning Mao's faces suddenly lost color, and they knelt on the ground in fear.

When he was in Ning Mansion before, Ning Chen lived with the servants. Not to mention eating at the table, it was good to have leftovers!

They thought Ning Chen was going to settle accounts with them.

"So, it was us before..."

Ning Chen waved his hand, "The past is over, no need to mention it again, and no need to mention it in the future... You two are my brothers, you don't have to kneel when you see me. Today is a family dinner, and there is no need to be restrained."

The two stood up tremblingly and sat upright.

Ning Chen picked up the wine glass, "Come on! I guess you haven't tasted wine for a long time."

Prisoners, don't even think about drinking, it's good enough if you can guarantee that you won't starve to death!

The two men picked up the wine glass with trembling fingers.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Ning Chen drank it all in one gulp and said casually: "The Ning Mansion suffered a great disaster because of me... If it weren't for me, you would still be rich and well-fed young masters now, don't you hate me very much?"

The two brothers trembled violently.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems that you hate me very much?"

Ning Xing hesitated for a moment, and said in a trembling voice: "To be honest, we have never suffered. When we first arrived at the place of exile, we really hated you and even thought about committing suicide, because it was too hard. The lives of prisoners there were worthless, but we didn't have the courage to commit suicide."

"But later we gradually figured it out. Cause and effect are cyclical, and this is retribution... We no longer hate you."

"Treason is a serious crime that will kill nine clans. We know that the two of us can survive because of you."

Ning Chen pulled the corner of his mouth and said lightly: "It's best to figure it out. It doesn't matter if you can't figure it out. These are not important to me... Because from the beginning to the end, you did something wrong, you let me down... and I was the victim throughout the whole process."

"Okay, I don't want to dig up the past, and I'm too lazy to dig up... Let's eat!"

......

The next morning, Ning Chen led his men away.

The Ning'an Army was stationed near Xuanwu City.

Ning Chen only brought fifty Ning'an Army, riding fast and light horses all the way.

Twenty days later, Ning Chen appeared in Yuzhou.

He stayed in Yuzhou for a few days.

There was no way, Yuzhou officials were all his people, and normal interpersonal relations had to be maintained.

These two days, Ning Chen stayed in Chai Mansion most of the time, accompanying Uncle Chai.

Uncle Chai was old, and his legs were inconvenient. He had not returned since he came to Yuzhou with Yudie and others last time.

The round trip was long, and he was worried that Uncle Chai's body could not bear it.

Moreover, Yuzhou had a pleasant climate and was suitable for recuperation.

Uncle Chai was old, and his spirit was not as good as before.

Originally, he wanted to stay for a few more days, but Pan Yucheng was eager to go home. Nanzhi was probably born a long time ago, and he was anxious to go home to see the child.

It only takes five days to travel from Yuzhou to Lingzhou.

When he arrived in Lingzhou, he naturally had to drink with Jiang Zhengyang.

After staying for a day, Ning Chen and others took a boat back to the capital.

In the morning, Ning Chen walked out of the cabin and found that it was snowing heavily outside.

This is the first snow of the year.

"When did it fall?"

Ning Chen asked Pan Yucheng.

"It started snowing in the second half of last night."

Ning Chen brought Pan Yucheng and Feng Qizhen to the deck, and saw Tan Tai Qingyue standing in the wind in a white dress from a distance.

He stretched out his hand to catch the snowflakes, watching them melt in his palm, and couldn't help but sigh: "When I left Beijing, it was spring and flowers were blooming, but when I returned to Beijing, it was snowing heavily... Time flies! In the blink of an eye, I am almost twenty years old."

Tan Tai Qingyue glanced sideways, feeling emotional. People often ignore Ning Chen's age because of his achievements.

Pan Yucheng said: "At most, nineteen years old."

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, "I'm talking about virtual age."

Feng Qizhen asked curiously: "What is virtual age?"

Ning Chen then remembered that there is no virtual age in this world, and the full age is also called the real age... They remember age very simply, as long as the New Year passes, they will grow one year older, regardless of the month of birth.

Ning Chen raised a wicked smile, "The real age is the time you came out of your mother's body, and the virtual age is the time you came out of your father's body."

Feng Qizhen and Pan Yucheng were stunned. There is a person who came out of his father's body?

Tan Tai Qingyue asked curiously: "Can men give birth to children?"

Ning Chen: "..."

"Men can't give birth to children, but they can provide seeds."

Feng Qizhen suddenly said loudly: "I understand, the virtual age you mentioned is calculated from the man's shiver, right?"

Ning Chen smiled and nodded.

Tan Tai Qingyue turned her head and said inwardly that it was boring!

At this time, the captain came over with a few bowls of milk, "You adults drank a lot of wine last night, drink a bowl of hot milk to warm your stomach... breakfast will be ready in a while!"

Ning Chen asked curiously: "Where did the milk come from? Are there cows on the ship?"

The captain said: "It was given to me by Lord Jiang, the governor of Lingzhou, when he sent you adults on board last night. He said that you adults drank too much wine, so I heated it up in the morning to warm your stomachs."

Ning Chen picked up a bowl of milk and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Jiang Zhengyang to be so thoughtful... This is milk from a real cow."

Feng Qizhen also picked up a bowl and asked curiously: "You can tell this?"

Ning Chen's forehead was black.

Pan Yucheng and others were also stunned by Feng Qizhen's question.

One dares to say, and the other dares to ask?

Ning Chen smirked, "Old Feng, you are so smart, but you can't see this? You are not worthy of your title of Feng Dacongming."

"Who said I can't see it?" Feng Qizhen pretended to look for a long time, "In fact, I have seen it a long time ago, and I can see that this cow is very healthy. Look at how thick the milk is..."

Looking at Feng Qizhen's serious nonsense, Ning Chen couldn't help laughing like a pig.

"Feng Dacongming, you are really a genius, Ning admires you!"

Feng Qizhen straightened his back proudly, "I am Feng Dacongming, how can I get the title for nothing? I just don't want to show off, for fear of overshadowing you."

Everyone had a black line on their foreheads.
