The Return of the Demon

#1218 - Even God is helping you

Before Xiao Yanxi could say whether she believed it or not, a loud voice rang out from outside the tent: "Your Majesty, urgent military information!"

Ning Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Come in."

The curtain was opened, and a burly soldier walked in and knelt on one knee. "Your Highness, we have found three more bodies."

Ning Chen raised his hand to let him stand up, frowning and saying, "This means that there are more than five enemies sneaking in... a total of seven."

Xiao Yanxi was slightly stunned. Aren’t there eight?

Pan Yucheng said before that five bodies were found, and now three more were found, which means there were eight enemies who sneaked in. She was not wrong.

The soldier leaned forward and said, "My Lord, there are eight."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at him, jokingly saying: "You mean that this king doesn't know how to count?

There are five in front and three in the back, which makes eight indeed... But if you die, there will only be seven left. Have I calculated wrongly? ”

Swish! ! !

Before he finished speaking, Canmeng came out of its sheath.

Ning Chen appeared in front of the opponent like a ghost and stabbed out with a sword as fast as lightning.

The soldier's face changed drastically. It was too late for him to draw his sword. His body suddenly froze and he dared not move... Ning Chen's sword was too fast. The tip of the sword was against his throat, making him feel cold all over.

Xiao Yanxi was shocked, and then she realized that this soldier was a killer.

But she didn't see where the flaw was.

The soldier was trembling all over. He looked at Ning Chen in panic and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I don't know what I have done wrong. Please, Your Majesty..."

"Alright, stop acting, I'm embarrassed for you..." Ning Chen interrupted him, raised his sword and slashed the other person's collar, "Next time, be more careful when you pretend to be my subordinate.

The linings of my men are all grey, where is the white one? Your white color is too conspicuous, do you think I’m blind? ”

The corner of Xiao Yanxi's mouth twitched slightly, and she complained in her heart, am I blind? She actually didn't notice that the soldier's lining was white.

Ning Chen looked at the soldiers coldly, "Tell me, who are you? Who sent you to assassinate me?"

The soldier remained silent.

Ning Chen's mouth curled up slightly, and then he pierced his shoulder with a sword.

"ah......"

The soldiers let out shrill screams.

The guards outside heard the noise and rushed in.

"My Lord, what happened?"

Ning Chen glanced at them and said coldly: "The enemy has been let in, how are you on duty?"

The faces of several soldiers changed drastically and they all knelt on the ground in fear.

"I deserve to die. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

"I failed to do my job well and let the bad guys into the camp. Please punish me severely, Your Majesty."

These people were terrified, but they did not shirk their responsibility.

According to military discipline, anyone who let the thieves into Ning Chen's tent must be punished with fifty strokes of the cane.

Ning Chen said in a deep voice: "Fifty military sticks are given to you to remember. I will allow you to make amends for your crimes...Go and find Feng Qizhen for me."

"yes!"

A soldier took the order and left.

Ning Chen nodded.

Li Mushuang said: "It is indeed not one of ours. The soldiers under the prince's command all have gray linings, and this man's is white... and this armor is too small and does not fit him."

Ning Chen looked at the handsome Li Mushuang with some surprise, "Fourth Senior Brother is amazing, and very observant."

Li Mushuang smiled modestly, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. This is the vision that a qualified killer should have."

Ke You glanced at him and thought, who are you picking? He didn't see it.

Ning Chen smiled. All of his senior brothers were handsome and powerful, and they didn't look like vicious killers at all.

"Two brothers, the thieves have sneaked in. Please stay here and ensure the safety of the princess."

The two leaned forward and said in unison, "Yes!"

Xiao Yanxi's pretty face turned slightly red, and she was secretly delighted. Ning Chen had just called her princess in front of everyone... This showed that she was very important in Ning Chen's heart, and Ning Chen treated her completely as his equal wife.

After waiting for a while, Feng Qizhen arrived.

After listening to Ning Chen, he kicked the assassin away, spitting blood on the spot, and angrily cursed: "You bastard, you are so bold that you dare to assassinate the prince. I think you are really tired of living."

"Old Feng, don't kill him. Take him away for questioning. Pry open his mouth and find out the other killers."

"Leave it to me. I promise to pry his mouth open." Feng Qizheng patted his chest and promised, then pointed at the killer and said, "Take this bastard and follow me."

The killer was taken away.

Ning Chen put away his sword, walked to the bed, touched Xiao Yanxi's forehead, and asked with concern: "How do you feel?"

Xiao Yanxi smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"

Ning Chen was still worried, so she asked Ke You to check her out.

After the examination, Ke You said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the princess is almost recovered. As long as she takes the medicine on time, she will be fully recovered in two days."

Ning Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good!"

......

About an hour later, Feng Qizhen came back.

Ning Chen asked: "Have you examined it clearly?"

Feng Qizheng nodded, "All five killers have been arrested."

Xiao Yanxi was surprised and asked, "Didn't they say there were eight killers in total?"

"Eight?" Feng Qi was shocked. "Are they not telling the truth?"

Ning Chen asked: "How many bodies did you find?"

"Five."

"That's right. Eight people are too conspicuous. Five people are just right... I think the killer is deliberately confusing me and looking for an excuse to get close to me and kill me." Ning Chen paused and asked, "Who are they?"

Feng Qizheng said: "People from the World Association."

After saying this, Feng Qizheng's face turned serious. To be more precise, he was still in shock. He swallowed and said, "Do you know that we were at the gate of hell?"

Ning Chen frowned, "What do you mean?"

Feng Qizheng said: "These guys buried explosives halfway, intending to blow you up... but it snowed today, the ground was all wet, the fuse was also wet, and they tried to light it for a long time but it didn't work.

There is no other way. In order to complete the mission, they took the risk of sneaking into the military camp to assassinate you."

Ning Chen's expression suddenly changed.

Feng Qizhen continued: "It's really that even the heavens are helping you. It snowed... It was also the first time for these people to use explosives. They were not very experienced, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."

Everyone had a look of fear on their faces; they really had a close call with death.

Xiao Yanxi said with a cold face: "We decided to go to Bianzhou at the last minute. How did they know our route?"

Feng Qizheng said: "They said someone sent them a message asking them to ambush here."

Ning Chen curled his lips, "Actually, this is not difficult to guess. Xiao Danzi is missing, so I will definitely go to Bianzhou... and the shortest route is the one we are taking now.

Xiao Danzi's disappearance is related to Kang Baobao. She predicted that I would go to Bianzhou, and it was not difficult for her to figure out our route."
