The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen caught Gao Liguo off guard.

When the people in the city reacted, the soldiers of Daxuan had already rushed to the city gate.

"Shoot, shoot quickly..."

"Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly..."

The soldiers of Gao Liguo shouted on the top of the city.

But Gao Liguo didn't expect Daxuan to attack them, so the defense on the city was insufficient and there were not many archers.

On the contrary, Ning Chen made sufficient preparations.

Usually the shield soldiers were in the front, but this time Ning Chen moved the archery battalion to the front.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!

The rain of arrows flew to the top of the city, and the archers of Gao Liguo didn't even dare to show their heads.

The infantry, led by Niu Anguo, began to charge.

The city gate was only half closed, and Niu Anguo had already led his army to rush and broke the city gate open.

"Ning Chen, the King of Daxuan, is here. Why don't you surrender quickly?"

"The King of Zheng has ordered that those who surrender will not be killed, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

The soldiers of Daxuan rushed into the city gate, fighting with the soldiers of Nanyue while shouting loudly, with great momentum.

When they heard that Ning Chen was leading the army, the soldiers of Gaoli Kingdom panicked.

Faced with the Daxuan soldiers who were coming like a tide, the soldiers of Gaoli Kingdom panicked and fled in all directions. Those who could not escape directly surrendered.

In the city, the general's mansion.

The guard of Gao'an City was called Jin Kuan, and the surname Jin was a royal surname in Gaoli Kingdom.

Jin Kuan was a member of the royal family.

At this time, Jin Kuan was entertaining the crown prince of Gaoli Kingdom...Jin Dongxing.

According to seniority, the crown prince of Gaoli Kingdom should call Jin Kuan uncle.

"Your Highness, I toast you!"

Jin Kuan raised the wine glass.

Jin Dongxing smiled and picked up the wine glass. Just as he was about to drink, he saw a soldier from Gaoli Kingdom in Xiliang running in and falling to his knees in panic.

Jin Kuan was furious, afraid of offending the prince, and shouted: "Why are you so panicked?"

"General... the enemy has broken in!"

Jin Kuan was stunned at first, and then became even angrier, "What nonsense are you talking about? Where did the enemy come from?"

Gao'an City borders Daxuan Qingzhou, and Gaoli Kingdom and Daxuan have always been at peace.

"Daxuan, it's Daxuan's soldiers who broke in."

Jin Kuan's expression suddenly changed, and he said in surprise: "Really?"

"General, it's true... the leader is Daxuan's god of war Ning Chen, and Daxuan's soldiers have already rushed into the city."

"What?"

With a clang!

Jin Kuan dropped the wine glass in his hand on the table, his face turned pale, and he murmured: "Ning Chen, how is it possible? Why did Ning Chen attack my Gao'an City? Daxuan and my Gaoli Kingdom have always lived in peace, why would he do this?"

Jin Dongxing was still calm, with a slight frown on his face.

"General, have you ever offended this Great Xuan God of War?"

Jin Kuan came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Ning Chen and I have never met, let alone offended!"

"Your Highness, I will send someone to escort you away... Ning Chen is extremely cruel. He beat Xiliang to submission and the royal court of Tuo Luo Kingdom was beaten to flee to the depths of the grassland. I am afraid that the 30,000 soldiers in the city can't stop him."

Jin Dongxing looked thoughtful and suddenly asked, "Did you say before that the Great Xuan Qingzhou suffered a snowstorm this year, and the people were living in dire straits, with countless deaths and injuries?"

Jin Kuan nodded, "Yes!"

"That's right!" Jin Dongxing said in a deep voice, "The Great Xuan has a vast terrain, and the distance between states is too far, and Qingzhou borders our Gao'an City, which is even closer... Ning Chen is going to plunder supplies and save the people of the Great Xuan Qingzhou."

Jin Kuan nodded, but then his face was full of anxiety, "Your Highness, if this is the case, Ning Chen will not stop until he takes Gao'an City... You should leave quickly, or it will be too late if you don't leave now!"

Jin Dongxing smiled and said, "Since Ning Chen wants supplies, there is a possibility of peace talks... Ning Chen's name has long been spread all over the world. Even the fourth prince of Nanyue, Kang Luo, is not his opponent. I am afraid that the 30,000 soldiers in the city can't stop him at all."

"Instead of suffering countless casualties and being robbed of supplies, it is better to take the initiative to negotiate... What do they want? Just give it to them, at least it can save the lives of my Gaoli country's soldiers and the people in the city."

"Prepare the horses, I have admired this great Xuan war god for a long time, and this prince will go to negotiate with him in person."

Jin Kuan's face changed drastically, "Your Highness, you must not do that... If you make any mistakes, I will never forgive my sins even if I die."

Jin Dongxing waved his hand, "I am the prince of Gaoli country, how can I abandon the soldiers and the people and run away by myself?"

If he runs away like this, he will lose the support of the people... Even if he goes back, I am afraid that the position of the prince will not be stable.

No one wants to support a prince who abandons the people and is afraid of death.

"General, don't worry. Ning Chen is interested in supplies... Besides, he started the war privately, which is wrong. If I meet his conditions, I will be able to save the lives of my Gaoli country's soldiers and people."

"This prince has made up his mind. Pass my order to let our soldiers retreat and not fight with the Daxuan soldiers... In addition, send someone to inform this Daxuan war god that this prince requests to meet with him."

Jin Kuan had no choice but to order people to do as the prince ordered.

On the other side, the Daxuan soldiers had all rushed into the city.

The top of the city had been occupied by the archery camp.

Ning Chen did not lead many archers this time, only more than a thousand people.

Ning Chen stood on the top of the city, facing the wind.

The sound of killing was heard everywhere in the city.

Suddenly, Ning Chen exclaimed.

He found that the soldiers of Gaoli were retreating.

Ning Chen looked puzzled. Logically, the soldiers of Gaoli Kingdom were more familiar with the situation in the city. Even if they were at a disadvantage, they were not without the ability to fight... After all, they were not facing the brave and combative Ning'an Army, but the Southern Border Army.

But the soldiers of Gaoli Kingdom were retreating quickly, so all this seemed abnormal.

Could it be that they had thought of a countermeasure?

Ning Chen observed the terrain in the city, trying to find out the reason.

At this time, Pan Yucheng ran up to the top of the city.

"Gao Liguo sent someone to tell you that Gao Liguo's prince requested to meet you and asked us to stop fighting for the time being."

Ning Chen was slightly startled, "Prince of Gao Liguo?"

"Yes!"

"Where?"

"Prince of Gao Liguo is willing to come to see you in person!"

Ning Chen was surprised, "This prince of Gao Liguo is not simple, he is so courageous."

"Old Pan, do you know this prince of Gao Liguo?"

Pan Yucheng said, "I don't know much about him!"

Tan Tai Qingyue suddenly said, "The prince of Gao Liguo is named Jin Dongxing. He is the eldest son of the king of Gao Liguo. He is born smart and has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness. He is very popular both in the court and among the people."

Ning Chen looked at Pan Yucheng, "Old Pan, aren't you ashamed? Xiliang Fengyuntang and our Supervisory Department are both hawk-dog organizations... What is professionalism? This is professionalism."

Pan Yucheng's mouth twitched fiercely, thinking, is it really appropriate for you to belittle ourselves in front of outsiders like this? And...how did you say the word "hawk and dog"?

Ning Chen looked at Tan Tai Qing Yue, "Not bad, you are worthy of being the head of Xiliang Fengyun Hall, you are well-informed...what else do you know?"

"That's all!" Tan Tai Qing Yue paused and said softly: "Also, I know this Gaoliguo Prince not because I lead Fengyun Hall, but because he asked for marriage to Xiliang before, so I investigated him."

"Uh..." Ning Chen looked surprised, "Asked for marriage? To whom? You?"

Tan Tai Qing Yue nodded.

Ning Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "It's interesting, this guy has good taste, as good as mine!"

Tan Tai Qing Yue glanced sideways, with cold eyes full of contempt.
