The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen waited in the room for a while, and Butler Wu brought dinner.

In addition to the dinner, there is also an exquisite wooden box.

"What's this?"

Ning Chen asked curiously.

Butler Wu nodded and bowed and said: "I am about to report to the fourth master... This is what the fifth princess sent just now. The master asked me to bring it to you."

Ning Chen frowned slightly, it was this fifth princess again.

He had been given an inexplicable order before, asking him to kneel for two hours. He just went home today, and now he sent someone to deliver something.

Are these five princesses sick or something?

Suddenly, a thought flashed through Ning Chen's mind... Could it be that the fifth princess knew that she had misunderstood last time and gave this box as an apology?

If so, there must be something good in it.

After all, she is the fifth princess, so she will definitely not be stingy when taking action.

Ning Chen opened the box with anticipation.

When the contents of the box are exposed to view, is it okay for Ning Chen? But Butler Wu was so frightened that he let out a scream and sat down on the ground. The plate in his hand was knocked over, and the food fell all over him.

Inside the box was a terrifying grimace mask with grinning teeth and blood flowing from the corners of its mouth.

Ning Chen's expression turned ugly... Did the fifth princess' head get pinched by a man's thigh?

He picked up the mask that fell on the ground and looked at it. There was nothing special about it, except that it looked a little more ferocious and terrifying. The blood at the corner of the mouth was also paint.

Ning Chen glanced at Butler Wu, who was trembling with fear, and said indifferently: "It's just a mask."

"So it's just a mask?"

Butler Wu was shocked and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Immediately, Yi Gulu got up, knelt on the ground, and said in panic: "Damn it, I spilled the food. I will have someone make another one for the Fourth Young Master."

Ning Chen didn't care about this, he just hummed lightly, and then added: "Have someone clean this place up."

"yes!"

Ning Chen held the mask and frowned, more puzzled.

He and the fifth princess have never met each other. What on earth does this woman want to do?

First, he was ordered to kneel for two hours, and now he was given this scary mask with a scary face... Even if there was nothing wrong with the fifth princess's mind, I wouldn't believe it even if I beat him to death.

Ning Chen stood up and walked to the mirror, put the mask on his face, looked at the bronze mirror, and said with a smile: "It's quite scary. It's good for scaring people."

"Fourth Young Master, Butler Wu asked us to clean up."

The maid's voice sounded outside.

"come in!"

Two little maids opened the door and came in.

Ning Chen subconsciously looked back. The two little maids looked at Ning Chen with horrified faces, their faces turned pale with fear, and they let out a scream at the same time.

Only then did Ning Chen remember that he was still wearing a ghost face mask.

He hurriedly took off the mask and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a mask."

The two little maids were in shock and looked frightened.

Ning Chen smiled apologetically and put away the mask.

I guess these two little maids must be complaining about their bad taste in their hearts at this time, right?

After the two maids finished cleaning, Butler Wu brought the food again.

After Ning Chen had eaten and drank enough, he took a medicinal bath and then rested.

...

The next day, Ning Chen left Ning Mansion early.

He had breakfast on the way and went straight to the general's mansion.

From now on, I won't be able to come to the general's mansion for training often. I have to say hello to General Chen. After all, he has always taken good care of me.

Arrive at the General's Mansion.

General Chen is having breakfast.

"Ning Chen, have you had breakfast? If not, sit down and eat together."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "I ate it on the way here."

"Then what brings you here?"

"I won't be able to come to training often in the future, just to say hello to everyone."

General Chen nodded, then sighed deeply, with regret on his face.

Ning Chen asked curiously: "Why did the old general sigh? Is there anything bothering you? Can I help?"

General Chen said regretfully: "Ning Chen, you are a talented general...I wanted to see you shine on the battlefield."

Ning Chen also felt a little regretful.

He prefers going to the battlefield than being a royal eagle dog. He was a soldier, and the battlefield is his stage.

"Ning Chen, since you joined the Supervision Department, you should work hard...I believe that with your talents, you can shine no matter where you are."

Old General Chen paused and continued: "I still have a few things to tell you."

Ning Chen bowed and said, "Old General, please speak!"

Old General Chen said: "First, you have a free and easy temper and do not want to be bound by secular rules, but you must still maintain enough respect for the royal family."

"Second, the Supervision Department belongs to His Majesty alone. You must keep a distance from all civil and military officials in the future to avoid falling into the trap of others."

"Third, the Supervision Department is responsible for supervising all officials and serious cases in the world. You must stick to your heart and don't let power and money erode you."

Ning Chen nodded heavily and said, "Thank you, old general, for your teaching! Ning Chen will stick to his heart and never forget his original intention."

"Okay!" Old General Chen's face was filled with relief, he laughed heartily, and immediately said: "By the way, I have another gift for you."

"Originally, I wanted to send it directly to Ning Mansion, but since you are here, just take it back yourself."

After General Chen finished speaking, he glanced at Qi Yuanzhong.

Qi Yuanzhong nodded, turned and left.

Ning Chen was curious, what kind of gift was it? Mysterious?

After a while, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the yard.

Old General Chen stood up on crutches and said with a smile: "Let's go out and take a look."

When Ning Chen came to the yard, he saw Qi Yuanzhong leading a tall black horse.

This horse was very handsome, with a black body, without a single stray hair, and hair like silk, and strong limbs... It was a good horse at first glance.

General Chen said with a smile: "This horse was born from my mount in the past, and it can travel a thousand miles a day. This breed of horse is called Mo Qilin... Today, I will give it to you."

"It should gallop against the wind, instead of being trapped in this tiny place like me."

Ning Chen could hear the sadness of General Chen.

To die on the battlefield, wrapped in horsehide, that is the destination that the old general pursues, right? Not like now, even walking with crutches.

Ning Chen bowed and saluted, "Thank you, old general!"

"Ning Chen, give it a name?"

Ning Chen walked over and looked at the beautiful black horse in front of him, thinking, why not call it Red Hare? That was ridden by Guan Erye and Lu Bu.

Suddenly, Ning Chen thought of something and burst out laughing.

General Chen looked at him puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "General, I thought of a good name, call it Diao Chan."

In the future, if someone asks him, where is your Diao Chan? He can answer, my Diao Chan is on the waist.

General Chen asked curiously, "Diao Chan, is there any allusion?"

Ning Chen shook his head, "There is no allusion, Diao Chan means beautiful, beautiful."

General Chen said.

Ning Chen looked at the big black horse and said with a smile, "You will be called Diao Chan in the future."

The big black horse neighed and rubbed Ning Chen with its big head, as if it was very satisfied with the name.

General Chen smiled and said, "It seems that it has a good relationship with you."

Ning Chen patted the big black horse's head and said with a smile, "The world is not yet determined, you and I are both black horses... In the future, we will join forces and we will surely shine."

The big black horse neighed loudly.
