The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen knew that he had gotten into a big disaster this time.

That is the fifth prince, the current son of His Majesty.

The whole world belongs to his family. He held the fifth prince hostage and beat him up. Once he is caught, he will be punished by death.

But Ning Chen has no regrets. If he was asked to choose again, he would still do it.

He was once a soldier. Although he traveled to this strange world, his military spirit will never die... No evil, hardship or danger can make him back down.

Although his face was covered, he didn't have time to change his clothes. Maybe the fifth prince would recognize him.

Xuan Hong should not betray himself. Although that person was selfish, he held the fifth prince hostage, and he was with him. If he betrayed himself, he would also be implicated.

But that's the fifth prince. If he investigates thoroughly, he will definitely be found guilty.

Ning Chen thought for a while and made a decision... to run away.

He couldn't stay in the capital anymore and had to go out to hide from the limelight.

Damn it, if I had known earlier, I would have told the Fifth Prince that my name was Ning Gan and dragged everyone in the Ning Mansion down.

You need money to run away. He only has a few coins on him now, so he can't run very far at all.

He thought for a while and went straight to the general's mansion.

On the other side, the fifth prince was with Xuan Hong.

This fifth prince is simply a fake. His true identity is that he is one of the prince's personal guards named Lu Yan.

"Is your injury okay?"

Lu Yan covered her chest with a painful look on her face and said, "Go back to Your Highness, my subordinate's sternum is broken."

The prince frowned, "Is his skill so terrifying?"

Lu Yan said: "His movement is very strange. His whole body's strength is concentrated on his elbows, and his movements are fast and violent, like a cheetah... But his strength is a little weaker, otherwise the subordinate's sternum would not be as simple as a broken sternum!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. This subordinate was drunk and unresponsive."

The prince waved his hand, "It's not your fault, it's because I was afraid that your acting wasn't realistic enough, so I made you drink... It was my lack of consideration. I didn't expect that he was so good at his skills."

"You go back to the palace immediately, see the imperial doctor, and take good care of your injuries... I have to think carefully about how to apologize to him? He will definitely think that I am greedy for life and fearful of death, a heartless and unjust person."

"Originally I just wanted to test his character, but I didn't expect it would end up like this?"

On the other side, Ning Chen has arrived at the general's mansion.

"What did you borrow a hundred taels of silver for? Did something happen to you?"

Ning Chen suddenly asked him to borrow a hundred taels of silver, and General Chen was a little curious.

Ning Chen said anxiously and sincerely: "I don't dare to deceive the old general. All my family members are dead, and I only have a lame old slave to accompany me... Now he has a sudden illness and is in urgent need of money for medical treatment."

"Old General, you know that I have deposited five hundred taels of silver with Uncle Tianxuan. I can't see him. When you see him later, ask him to return it to you, just as I said."

"Old General Chen, human life is at stake... Please, help me!"

Old General Chen was very generous. He called the housekeeper directly and asked him to go to the accounting room to withdraw one hundred taels of silver and give it to Ning Chen.

"Thank you, General Chen. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If I have the chance, I will definitely repay you...I swear!"

Saying goodbye to General Chen, Ning Chen went straight to the martial arts field and found Qi Yuanzhong here.

"Brother Qi, General Chen asked me to go out to do something, and asked you to prepare a fast horse for me!"

Qi Yuanzhong had no doubts and immediately helped Ning Chen prepare a tall horse.

Ning Chen rode his horse and headed straight for the city gate.

He ran all the way to the city gate. When he was leaving the city, he was blocked by the city defense troops guarding the gate.

"I am under the command of General Chen. I have been ordered to go out of the city for business. Get out of the way quickly!"

When the city defense army saw that Ning Chen was riding a war horse, they immediately let him go.

After leaving the city gate, Ning Chen didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly rode away from the city.

...

Imperial Palace, Yangxin Hall.

Nie Liang was guarding the entrance of the hall.

He and Eunuch Quan are like a couple, one is domestic and the other is foreign.

A guard with a knife came over in a hurry, leaned over and whispered a few words in Nie Liang's ear.

Nie Liang's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand to signal the guards to retreat. Then he quickly came to the front of the palace, leaned down and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, Nie Liang, I have something to ask for!"

After a while, Quan's father-in-law came out with small steps.

"Commander Nie, His Majesty calls you in."

Nie Liang followed Eunuch Quan into the main hall, where Emperor Xuan was watching the memorial.

Emperor Xuan was a very hard-working emperor.

Nie Liang knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, Blue Star has run away."

Emperor Xuan looked stunned for a moment. He looked away from the memorial and looked at Nie Liang, "Run away? Where did he go?"

"Your Majesty asked me to send someone to follow Young Master Lan Xing secretly to ensure his safety... The people below just reported that Young Master Lan Xing rode out of the city."

Emperor Xuan asked curiously: "What was he doing out of the city?"

Nie Liang then told what happened in Tianfulou today!

Because the people sent by Nie Liang knew the prince's guard Lu Yan, they did not dare to interfere in this matter.

Emperor Xuan's face darkened a little bit.

"There is no structure and testing people's hearts in this way. In the end, it will only lead to disunity."

Eunuch Quan and Nie Liang didn't dare to breathe.

Emperor Xuan was talking about the prince, and this was not something they could interrupt.

"Nie Liang, are your people still following him?"

Nie Liang felt cold sweat break out on his forehead, "Mr. Blue Star was riding a war horse from the General's Mansion. My people didn't prepare any horses, so... I lost track of him."

Secretly protecting someone, no one rides a horse... and the incident happened suddenly, they didn't expect Ning Chen to run away, and he ran away on a warhorse.

Emperor Xuan's face became more and more ugly.

"How long has Ning Chen been running?"

"Two hours!"

Emperor Xuan said angrily: "Two hours, you told me now... Why don't you wait until he runs to the ends of the earth before telling me?"

Nie Liang was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat, "I know my crime, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

In fact, this was already very fast. Although the general's mansion was in the inner city, the imperial city was too big... not to mention the imperial palace, and you couldn't ride a horse in the palace. From the palace gate to the Yangxin Palace, it was considered fast to walk for an hour.

Emperor Xuan said with a gloomy face: "Quan Sheng, pass on my oral order, let Geng Jing send people to track down Lan Xing's whereabouts along the way, and bring him back immediately after finding him... Remember, don't hurt him at all."

"Your servant obeys the order!"

Eunuch Quan took small steps and left the Yangxin Palace quickly.

Emperor Xuan looked at Nie Liang, "Which gate did he leave from?"

"South Gate."

"Pass on my order, let the governor of Liangzhou pay more attention. If Ning Chen is found, let him personally send him back to me."

"Also, let the post stations along the way pay more attention... Lan Xing is riding a war horse, it is not difficult to identify."

Nie Liang hurriedly said: "I accept the order, I will do it now!"

After Nie Liang left, Emperor Xuan's eyes flickered, and he whispered: "He is talented, wise, strategic, and malleable... Although the fifth prince is fake, he dared to act knowing that he is the fifth prince and ignored the majesty of the royal family. He still needs to be punished."
