The Return of the Demon

After the shock, Old General Chen had a serious expression on his face!

"Lanxing, I haven't seen many of these black hell kings in the capital. This snake actually ran into your bed. I'm afraid someone did it deliberately."

"In this case, you can tell me the specific situation."

Ning Chen thought for a while and said: "Just when I was about to go to bed, I lifted the quilt and this Black Hell King rushed towards me. Fortunately, I reacted quickly... It died, but I am alive."

Although Ning Chen said it very easily, everyone was frightened when they heard it.

"Master Lan, I'm afraid someone is deliberately trying to harm you."

"Where is Young Master Lan's home? How many people in the family have any enemies? Think about it carefully."

Qi Yuanzhong reminded.

Ning Chen knows this better than anyone else, and also knows who the murderer is?

He didn't say it because he didn't want to implicate General Chen.

In fact, it would be useless even if he said it, because he had no evidence to prove that Ning Gan and Ning Mao did it.

Ning Chen smiled and said: "The Black King of Hell is rare in the capital, but that doesn't mean there are none. He may have climbed into my bed by accident."

"Master Ning, don't take it seriously... You are safe and sound this time because you are lucky, because the weather is cold now and Black Hell King is about to hibernate and cannot move quickly... If the weather is warm, the consequences will be disastrous."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "But I really can't think of any enemies?"

"Mr. Lan, this is no joke. If you think about it seriously, it is related to your safety..."

Old General Chen waved his hand, signaling Qi Yuanzhong to stop talking.

"Yuan Zhong, go get some more snake powder and let Lan Xing take it back."

"yes!"

Qi Yuanzhong left quickly.

He came back after a while and placed a white porcelain bottle on the table.

Old General Chen warned: "Blue Star, this is the snake powder that is always prepared by the army officers. When you go back, sprinkle the powder under the bed so that snakes, insects, rats and ants will not dare to get close."

"Thank you, General Chen!"

Old General Chen smiled and nodded, "Okay, go and train! Remember, don't train for too long, you still have business to do."

Ning Chen hummed, took the snake powder and left!

After Ning Chen left, Qi Yuanzhong couldn't help but said: "Old General, the price of this Black King of Hell is very high in the capital. Only those young masters who let hawks chase dogs can get it through shady channels."

"Now that the Black King of Hell has appeared in Mr. Lan's bed, someone is clearly trying to harm him."

Old General Chen glared, "As smart as you are... I also know that someone wants to harm this kid. And Blue Star obviously knows it himself."

"But why didn't he say it?"

"If you don't tell me, it must be because you are afraid... Okay, don't worry about this matter. I will make my own decision."

...

Near noon, Ning Chen left the General's Mansion and came to the Zhuangyuan Building.

Tianxuan was already waiting for him, in the same box as before.

Ning Chen knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Tian Xuan's deep and magnetic voice sounded inside.

Ning Chen pushed the door open and entered.

In the box, besides Tianxuan, Sissy, and Bearded... there were two young people, one male and one female.

The man has an extraordinary demeanor, and his brows are very similar to Tian Xuan's.

The girl was still childish, and although she was very beautiful, Ning Chen only glanced at her and looked away.

To him, the girl was just a child.

Ning Chen bowed his head and greeted with a smile: "Uncle, are you here to buy poems from me?"

The prince looked at Ning Chen and was a little surprised. Although he had known that the person who wrote that masterpiece was a young man, he did not expect that he was younger than he thought.

Princess Huai'an was also looking at Ning Chen with a slightly disappointed expression.

I thought that the person who could write such a masterpiece must be a gentle and elegant gentleman.

But the person in front of her was thin and small, not much taller than her, and looked malnourished.

Xuan Tian smiled and said, "Boy, are you so short of money?"

Ning Chen said seriously: "Of course I, a person with no rights, no power and no background, have to make more money."

Emperor Xuan glanced at the Ninth Princess, and then said to Ning Chen: "Nonsense, you are talented. If you get the top prize, your Majesty may betroth the princess to you."

Ning Chen waved his hands repeatedly, "Uncle, don't say this nonsense. If it reaches His Majesty's ears, you will lose your head."

Good guy, even though you are King Fu, don't talk nonsense. Talking about royal affairs in private is a serious crime. You are a royal relative and I am just a commoner. Please don't harm me... Ning Chen complained crazily in his heart.

Tianxuan said with a smile: "We are all our own people here, we are doing the usual things, and we won't get in the way!"

"I remember you said you were fifteen years old this year. You will be eighteen years old during the triennial scientific examination... With your talent, if you get the top prize, His Majesty might really recruit you as Chenglong's son-in-law. ”

Ning Chen waved his hands repeatedly, "No, I'm just a commoner and I can't afford to reach such high places... Who in the right mind would marry a princess?"

Princess Huai'an thought this guy was a bit self-aware, but the last sentence made her blush.

Tianxuan also asked in astonishment: "What do you mean by this? Are you wronged by marrying a princess?"

"Aren't you aggrieved?" Ning Chen asked, and then said: "I think when two people get married, they should treat each other equally, respect each other as guests, grow old together, and live a good life, regardless of whether they are high or low."

"But if you marry the princess, you have to pay your respects to the princess three times a day on time... She is obviously your wife, but if you want to have sex with her, you have to ask for permission and get the princess's consent... The key is that you have to ask for permission a few days in advance."

"How can this be a life for a human being? The key is that you have to endure it and not have any emotions... Otherwise, the emperor will be angry and you will be dead in a snap."

In this world, imperial power is supreme.

Not only that, if you marry the princess, you cannot take a concubine.

As a modern person who traveled through time, Ning Chen would not be stupid enough to marry a princess.

Princess, huh... I don't even want a dog.

Ning Chen felt comfortable complaining...Emperor Xuan, the prince, and the ninth princess felt very uncomfortable.

Especially the ninth princess, if Emperor Xuan hadn't warned her in advance, she would have had Ning Chen dragged down and given him a beating. He dared to complain about the royal family, which was really audacious.

Eunuch Quan and Nie Liang lowered their heads, with cold sweat on their foreheads.

Good fellow, this is so bold that he actually despised the royal family and complained about the princess... They were really worried that Emperor Xuan would be furious and drag Ning Chen down to kill him.

"Hahaha..." Emperor Xuan suddenly laughed, "It sounds a bit miserable!"

Ning Chen nodded, "That's right... So, you can't marry a princess even if you live alone for the rest of your life."

Princess Huai'an was so angry that her nose was crooked. If the prince hadn't quietly pulled her, she couldn't help but rush up and kick Ning Chen.

It's too much. The dignified Princess Xuan was actually despised like this.

Ning Chen waved his hand and said, "Uncle, I can't say any more. I'll stop here... If I say more, it will be considered treason."

Nie Liang and Eunuch Quan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, you still know that this is treason? Just what you said just now is enough to chop off your head ten times.

"Uncle, let's talk about poetry? What kind of poetry do you want to buy this time?"
