The Return of the Demon

Gao Liguo was going further and further down the path of death.

The key was that he was reluctant to part with the silver.

To compensate Ning Chen with half of the national treasury, not to mention that the king of Gao Liguo was unwilling, the civil and military officials were also unwilling.

If the silver was compensated to Ning Chen, what would the king use to reward them in the future?

The third prince Jin Tiancheng was as excited as a bastard. Today he really won a great victory. He not only gained the trust of his father, but also hit Jin Dongxing hard... He felt that the position of the crown prince was getting closer and closer to him.

Jin Dongxing had no time to pay attention to the third prince's thoughts. His mind was now full of how to calm Ning Chen's anger.

He decided to write a letter to Ning Chen first to test Ning Chen's attitude, and then make a decision.

Idiot, a big idiot, why did he provoke Ning Chen... This must be because he threw the person away at birth and raised the placenta to be so stupid, right? Jin Dongxing complained wildly in his heart.

.......

Time flies, more than a month has passed in a flash.

Ning Chen led the army to escort supplies back to the capital city after a long absence.

Outside the city, dragon flags were waving and fluttering.

Emperor Xuan and Emperor An led the civil and military officials out of the city to welcome them.

Thirty thousand troops escorted supplies, like a long dragon slowly approaching.

He Ye came to the carriage and whispered: "Your Majesty, the prince has arrived."

The curtain was opened, and Emperor An, who was dressed in casual clothes and dragon robes, got off the carriage.

Since abdicating and letting the wise man rule, Emperor Xuan rarely wore dragon robes, except when he was behind the curtain. He usually wore casual clothes and wore whatever was comfortable.

The father and daughter were looking forward to it.

"Go! Go! Go!"

Ning Chen received a report from the scout that the dragon flags were waving outside the city, so he knew that Emperor Xuan and Emperor An had come out of the city to pick him up... So he took a few people, left the main force, and went ahead.

From a distance, he saw Emperor Xuan and Emperor An.

When he got close, Ning Chen turned over and dismounted, leaned forward and clasped his fists, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"

Emperor An's pretty face was bright, and he stared at Ning Chen closely. She was the emperor, and every word and action had to be paid attention to, so he suppressed his excitement and longing in his heart, and deliberately frowned: "Ning Chen, you are so brave that you dare not kneel when you see me."

Ning Chen: ".......Then how about I kowtow to your majesty?"

Ning Chen thought to himself, if you dare to let me kowtow, I will dare to make you kneel with your hair tied in a ponytail all night, so that you know what it means to spur a horse and whip it.

Emperor An glared at him unhappily, "Okay, forget it!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After thanking him, Ning Chen knelt down in front of Emperor Xuan and kowtowed three times in a proper manner, "Your son pays his respects to your father!"

Emperor Xuan was relieved and distressed. This child is too honest. You kowtowed gently, and your forehead was red.

Emperor Xuan quickly helped Ning Chen up, "Get up quickly, let me take a good look at you."

Ning Chen turned around twice and said with a smile, "Don't worry, father, I'm in good health... How is your health recently?"

"Very good, I ate such a big bowl of rice at noon..."

Emperor Xuan said while gesturing. Since he abdicated, there are not so many rules and regulations for eating. Occasionally, he can eat more, and every now and then, he can secretly have a hot pot with Quan Sheng and have an extra meal.

Ning Chen's eyes fell on Eunuch Quan, "Old Quan, how about you? How are you?"

Eunuch Quan smiled, "Thank you for your concern, my old servant is in good health."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "That's good. This time I stole some medicinal wine from South Vietnam. Drinking a little can strengthen your body... I'll have someone send it to the Grand Palace later. You can have a few drinks with your father in your spare time."

Eunuch Quan's old face was like a blooming chrysanthemum, and he nodded repeatedly, "Thank you, my Lord!"

Ning Chen looked at Li Hanru and others and smiled, "My Lords, did you miss me?"

Li Hanru and others bowed and saluted, with smiles on their faces.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness... This time we have returned with great success, which will enhance our country's prestige and will be remembered forever."

"Capturing the Nanyue Imperial City is an unprecedented feat that will surely be recorded in history books and will be remembered forever."

"This battle is a battle for the gods, Your Highness's military exploits..."

Ning Chen waved his hands quickly, "Alright, alright... I haven't seen you for a while, and you guys have learned to flatter me, and you are so good at it. You are all important officials of the country, so please be aware of your identities."

Li Hanru He said with a smile: "Your Highness, we are not flattering you, we are telling the truth.

Throughout history, no one has done better than you, your Highness."

Ning Chen grinned and said: "I think so too, I like to hear you tell the truth... I will tell you more later.

However, there is one thing I want to ask you."

Li Hanru leaned over, "Your Highness, please tell me."

Ning Chen waved his hand and said: "It's not a command, it's a request... Just tell me if I fought this battle beautifully?"

Li Hanru and others nodded.

"Then tell me, is this battle good enough to be remembered for generations?"

Li Hanru and others nodded again.

Ning Chen smiled, "Then can you please talk to the historian... can you ask him to erase my black history?"

Several people looked at each other.

Ji Mingchen asked curiously, "What is the dark history of the prince?"

Ning Chen's mouth twitched, and he said awkwardly, "It's that doggerel poem, the king of Daxuan Town, with a six-inch gun hidden in his body..."

Emperor Xuan was the first to laugh out loud.

Li Hanru and others also laughed so hard that they couldn't stop laughing.

This should be the only dark history of Ning Chen.

Li Hanru said: "We dare not guarantee it. Your Highness also knows that those historians are pedantic and old-fashioned, and they are not afraid of death... Your Highness should not hold too much hope."

Ning Chen looked helpless.

He had never seen such a stubborn person among historians. It would be fine if there was only one person, but the key point was that all of them were like this, and it was passed down from generation to generation.

It is said that Zhang Tianlun asked the historians to beautify him more, but the historians almost blackened him out.

Zhang Tianlun killed several people in a rage, but it was useless...Kill the father, the son will continue to write, kill the son, the grandson will continue to write.

The key point is that you dare not execute the whole family.

If you want to execute the whole family of the historian, then the matter will get out of control. Without the official history to rely on, the folk unofficial history can be made up at will...Small workshops are very fierce in cutting materials.

Official history may not be correct, but unofficial history is definitely wild enough.

Historians are stubborn. In their eyes, history is inheritance, it is blood...it must not be broken.

Not good, unfortunate things must be recorded so that future generations can learn from history.

Ning Chen could only smile bitterly, "Then I'll leave it to you."

The matter of receiving the supplies naturally fell to the Ministry of Revenue, and the other ministries assisted.

Ning Chen rode in the carriage with Emperor Xuan and Emperor An and returned to the imperial city.

In the carriage, Emperor Xuan told his grand plan to travel through the eighteen states of Daxuan.

Emperor An refused, "No, it's too dangerous!"

Emperor Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already arranged for safety... With Quansheng and Shadow, I will bring some imperial guards, safety is not a problem."

Emperor An looked at Ning Chen and motioned Ning Chen to persuade her, but she still felt unsafe.

Ning Chen looked at Emperor Xuan's white hair and nodded slightly, "I agree with my father's idea. I will make new arrangements for your safety."

Emperor Xuan is really old, and he has been fighting in the south and the north. I don't know when the world will be peaceful? I don't know if Emperor Xuan can wait until then?

Confucius traveled around the countries for fourteen years, but he only traveled half a circle in Henan.

The state of Daxuan is not much smaller than Henan. If Emperor Xuan were to wait until the day of peace in the world, I am afraid he would not be able to travel through all the eighteen states of Daxuan in his lifetime.
