The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen guessed correctly. After Kang Luo escaped back to Jianxuanguan, Nanyue, he immediately dispatched 5,000 soldiers to ambush Ning Chen.

Ning Chen wanted to return to the southern border, so he would go through Gaotiancheng of Gaoliguo. On the way, he had to pass through Jianxuanguan of Nanyue.

The national teacher was poisoned to death, and he almost died in Gaoliguo, which made Kang Luo furious.

He was not a gentleman if he did not take revenge.

He vowed to make Ning Chen and Gaoliguo pay the price.

The reason why Kang Luo was so angry was because the national teacher of Nanyue had another identity, that is, the uncle of the most beautiful woman in Nanyue.

He had always admired the most beautiful woman in Nanyue.

So, he had always taken good care of the national teacher of Nanyue.

Now, the national teacher was poisoned to death by Ning Chen. How could he have the face to see the most beautiful woman in Nanyue?

What he didn't know was that Ning Chen had guessed his actions long ago, so he took a detour.

Although it took a few more days, it was worth it.

Kang Luo led his troops to ambush, and while waiting, Ning Chen had already taken a detour back to the southern border.

The gate of the southern border slowly opened.

Tong Yuanzhou led people out to greet him.

Tong Yuanzhou was studying military books in the tent. When he heard his subordinates report that the King of Zhenguo appeared outside the pass, everyone was stunned!

Isn't the King of Zhenguo in Qingzhou?

How could he appear outside the pass?

He hurried over to see that it was really Ning Chen, and hurriedly ordered the city gate to be opened.

"The general pays homage to the prince!"

Tong Yuanzhou led the soldiers to pay homage.

Ning Chen raised his hand and smiled, "No need to be polite, everyone get up!"

Tong Yuanzhou stood up and looked at Ning Chen in astonishment, "Prince, you... why are you here?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "This king went to the capital of Gaoli Kingdom and took down Gaoli Kingdom by the way."

Tong Yuanzhou looked puzzled. What does "take down" mean?

Ning Chen said: "The king of Gaoli has submitted a letter of surrender, and will be a vassal of my Great Xuan in the future."

Tong Yuanzhou and many soldiers were stunned on the spot.

Gao Liguo surrendered, how...how is this possible?

Ning Chen said: "Let's talk about it later, let's go back first...it's very cold here."

Tong Yuanzhou came to his senses and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please!"

After entering the pass, Tong Yuanzhou hosted a banquet.

"Your Majesty, what's going on with Gaoliguo?"

Tong Yuanzhou was very curious.

Feng Qizhen laughed and said: "General Tong, Your Majesty made Gaoliguo surrender without spending a single soldier, just say it's awesome, right?

Come on, drink this cup first, and listen to me slowly brag to you."

Feng Qizhen exaggerated the story again!

After listening to it, Tong Yuanzhou was dumbfounded and couldn't recover for a long time.

It took a long time for him to come back to his senses, and he looked at Ning Chen with admiration. He was like a knife pulling his ass... He had opened his eyes!

"Your Highness's methods are really shocking, and I will toast you!"

He went to the capital of Gaoli Kingdom and made Gaoli Kingdom bow down. Who in the world can have such ability?

He was completely convinced.

......

Ning Chen did not stay at the border for long, and left the next day.

There were still more than 20 days before the New Year.

Ning Chen and his party worked non-stop and finally arrived in the capital on New Year's Eve.

It was already the time of Xu, and it was dark.

At this time, everyone was eating New Year's Eve dinner at home.

Whether it was dignitaries or ordinary people, they would be free these days.

Ning Chen asked Pan Yucheng to take everyone back to the mansion, and he had to go to the palace.

The palace, Qianqiu Palace, was full of singing and dancing.

The sound of stringed instruments was pleasant, and the dancers danced gracefully.

Emperor Xuan, the prince, the favorite concubine... The emperor's family was here.

But Emperor Xuan was a little absent-minded.

He suddenly turned his head and asked, "Have the dishes from Ning Mansion been delivered?"

Every New Year's Eve, Emperor Xuan would give dishes to the ministers in the court, which was a kind of grace and honor.

Generally, only one dish was given, but sometimes two dishes were given, which represented double grace.

This year, Ning Mansion directly gave more than a dozen dishes.

Emperor Xuan also specially ordered people to go to Tianfulou and watch them make Ning Chen's favorite roast duck and send it to Ning Mansion.

Eunuch Quan leaned over and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, it has been delivered!"

Emperor Xuan sighed and said, "What is this stinky boy doing in Gaoli Kingdom? He is not in the capital every year during the New Year."

A few days ago, I received a letter from Ning Chen saying that he went to Gaoli Kingdom.

He just pressed Gao Ancheng to the ground and rubbed him, and in the blink of an eye he ran to the capital of Gaoli Kingdom. Does this stinky boy think his life is too long?

"Father, I offer you a toast. I wish you good health and a long life for my Great Xuan."

Beside him, the eldest prince raised his glass and said respectfully.

Emperor Xuan glanced at him and said, "If you want Great Xuan to last for thousands of years, then I wish that stinky boy Ning Chen a safe return.

This bastard, I haven't agreed yet, he dared to go to the capital of Gaoli Kingdom privately. He is simply lawless... When he comes back, I will first reward him with thirty boards."

As soon as Emperor Xuan finished speaking, a little eunuch pushed open the palace door, stepped forward quickly and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, King Zhenguo wants to see you!"

Emperor Xuan was stunned for a moment, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, "Who are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty, it's King Zhenguo."

Emperor Xuan looked excited, "Hahaha... This stinky boy is back!"

Quan Sheng and the prince laughed secretly. Just now he said that Ning Chen would reward him with thirty boards when he came back, but now his beards were shaking with joy, and he didn't care about the majesty of the emperor.

Emperor Xuan also noticed that everyone was looking at him. His old face turned slightly red. He coughed tactically and said with a straight face, "Let him roll in for me."

"Yes!"

The young eunuch retreated.

After a while, Ning Chen's tall figure appeared in everyone's sight.

The music and singing stopped.

Ning Chen strode forward and knelt on the ground, "I, your son, pay my respects to your father. I wish your father a youthful and everlasting face."

The corner of Emperor Xuan's mouth twitched, "You still remember to come back?"

Ning Chen quietly raised his head and took a look, thinking that his father was a little unhappy.

Emperor Xuan said in a deep voice, "Who asked you to go to the capital of Gaoli without my consent? It's so dangerous. If you don't consider yourself, you should consider Huai'an."

Seeing Emperor Xuan's anger, the princes, concubines, and people in the hall knelt on the ground in fear.

Ning Chen said, "Father, you don't know that the fourth prince of Nanyue, Kang Luo, asked for marriage with Gaoli, and the king of Gaoli has agreed... If Nanyue and Gaoli form an alliance, they will become a powerful enemy of my Great Xuan, and I have to stop it.

When I arrived, the king of Gaoli had already agreed to Kang Luo's marriage proposal."

The face of Emperor Xuan changed slightly, "Nanyue and Gaoli have formed an alliance?"

"Uh... originally they formed an alliance, but I accidentally poisoned the Nanyue national teacher, and their alliance collapsed."

Emperor Xuan was shocked.

Everyone present was stunned!

Ning Chen poisoned the Nanyue national teacher?

This? ? ?

Emperor Xuan asked in disbelief: "You poisoned the Nanyue national teacher in Gaoli, and they let you back just like that?"

Ning Chen nodded, "Yes, King Gaoli respectfully sent me out of Gaoli... and asked me to pay respects to father on his behalf!"

Emperor Xuan was confused, "Who is King Gaoli?"
