The Return of the Demon

"What on earth is going on? How could such a good person just disappear?"

King Wu's voice was filled with disbelief.

Out of the blue, the person suddenly disappeared.

The key point is that the person who died was not an ordinary person, but Ning Chen, the king of Daxuan Town.

At present, Daxuan has recovered its lost territory, but Daxuan, which has just experienced the ravages of war, has not yet been completely stabilized.

And Ning Chen is now the stabilizer of Daxuan.

Now that the Dinghai Shenzhen has fallen, the situation will definitely change suddenly... I'm afraid some people with ulterior motives will do something bad.

There are also countries like South Vietnam and Gaoli, I'm afraid they won't be idle either.

The key is that Ning Chen’s identity is too sensitive.

He is not only the regent of Daxuan, but also the commander-in-chief of the army.

Nowadays, generals from all over the country are either Ning Chen’s admirers or promoted by Ning Chen.

If the cause of Ning Chen's death is not found out, these people will never let it go. This will cause a big mess.

King Wu guarded the Western Border, and Ning Chen died in the Western Border... He cannot escape blame.

At present, the only way to save himself is to quickly find out the cause of Ning Chen’s death and give an explanation to the court and the people of the world.

Ning Chen is dead, completely dead.

King Wu said with red eyes: "This matter must be reported to the court immediately, and Ning Chen's body must be transported back to the capital as soon as possible."

Everyone was in grief.

Feng Qizhen, a man who fought on the battlefield and shed blood but not tears, has been crying non-stop these days and his eyes are swollen like walnuts.

Ning Chen’s sudden death was hard for everyone to accept.

King Wu has already sent someone to the capital to announce the death.

At the same time, he began to arrange people to send Ning Chen's body back to the capital.

Bianzhou is nearly one and a half months away from the capital.

Fortunately, it is very cold today and the body will not rot so quickly.

I don’t know how the news of Ning Chen’s sudden death suddenly spread.

On the day when the body was taken out of the city, the streets were crowded with ordinary people, all of whom came voluntarily to pay their respects.

The common people have a scale in their hearts and know who is truly good to them.

At the beginning, Leng Wenyan rebelled and the Western Territory was trampled by Xiliang. They lived in dire straits and were in danger of losing their lives at any moment. It was Ning Chen who recovered the Western Territory and gave them a stable life.

The streets leading out of the city were lined with people kneeling.

The old, the weak, women and children all came to see Ning Chen off for the last time.

The whole city of Bianzhou was filled with crying.

At the same time, the spies hidden in Bianzhou also spread the news of Ning Chen's sudden death.

......

One month later.

Imperial Palace, morning court.

Emperor An sat upright on the dragon throne.

Civil and military ministers were seated on both sides.

Emperor An was discussing matters with his court officials.

Today, the Great Xuan Spiritual Land is intact and the situation has basically stabilized.

With Ning Chen around, those with ulterior motives won't be able to make any waves.

As for countries like Nanyue, Xiliang and Gaoli, they are in constant internal turmoil and can be ignored for the time being.

This year, we can have a good new year.

Therefore, the atmosphere in the court was relatively relaxed.

"Report... urgent delivery of 800 miles, report... urgent delivery of 800 miles..."

A loud voice interrupted the relaxed atmosphere in the court.

The messenger in official uniform came running over, shouting all the way.

No one dared to stop the express messenger who was travelling eight hundred miles.

Even the palace guards only have the right to verify someone's identity.

Because once an 800-mile express is needed, it would be a huge matter. If it delays important matters, you might die without knowing how you died.

But the messenger did not have the right to enter the temple.

He rushed to the outside of the Golden Palace and presented the urgent memorial from eight hundred miles away with both hands.

Nie Liang stepped forward quickly, took the memorial, and rushed into the hall.

Emperor An immediately said, "Show it up!"

He Ye quickly walked down the platform, took the memorial and presented it to Emperor An.

Emperor An opened the memorial and just glanced at it. His face instantly lost color, his head started buzzing, and his vision went dark.

When the ministers saw Emperor An's appearance, they were both worried and curious.

He Ye asked worriedly, "Your Majesty, are you okay?"

Emperor An suddenly came back to her senses. She opened the memorial again and after reading its contents, she was trembling all over and her face was full of panic.

She had never been so scared before, because she knew that Ning Chen would be there to hold up the sky if it collapsed.

But now, Ning Chen's white jade pillar has collapsed...he is dead!

The ministers looked at Emperor An with concern.

It was also the first time they saw Emperor Andy so panicked.

Emperor An tightly grasped the memorial, his knuckles turned white, his body trembled uncontrollably, tears silently flowed from his eyes and slid down his cheeks.

The unspeakable feeling of grief made her feel as if her heart was being cut into pieces by a knife, causing her unbearable pain.

She wanted to cry, but her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't cry.

At this moment, she was like a stone or wooden sculpture, her whole body was frozen there, not moving for a long time.

The ministers looked at Emperor An, whose face was as pale as paper, worriedly and did not dare to breathe.

Li Hanru, Ji Mingchen and others exchanged glances with each other.

Li Hanru had no choice but to step forward and lean over and ask, "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Emperor An slowly raised his head, his expression was filled with grief, his voice was hoarse, and he spoke word by word: "The memorial was sent from Bianzhou, and it said..."

The empress was silent for a long time before she spoke again, her voice trembling as she said, "It says... Ning Chen died suddenly, and his body is on its way back to the capital, and will arrive soon."

One stone can cause a thousand ripples.

These words were like a depth charge. After a few seconds of silence in the entire court, they instantly exploded.

Everyone was stunned by the news, their faces filled with disbelief.

Ning Chen is actually dead.

The whole court was filled with noise, like a vegetable market.

This is extremely disrespectful, but no one cares about it at this moment.

Li Hanru stepped forward and leaned forward and asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask how the Regent died?"

Emperor An said in a trembling voice: "Prince Wu said in his memorial that Ning Chen died suddenly."

"Impossible..." Ji Mingchen stepped out of the line and leaned forward to say, "Before the prince left Beijing, I had a drink with him. He was in good health, how could he suddenly die?"

Li Zhixing also stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, if you say that the Regent died on the battlefield, I believe it... but there is no war in Bianzhou now. The prince has always been healthy, and he died suddenly. There must be something fishy."

Feng Gaojie followed and stepped out, leaning forward and saying, "Your Majesty, the Regent is a superb master. When he drank with me last time, he was full of energy. It is impossible for him to die suddenly.

There must be something fishy about the death of the Prince Regent. Your Majesty, please order a thorough investigation."

Other ministers requested a thorough investigation into the cause of Ning Chen's death.

It is really strange that a healthy person suddenly died.

At this time, a minister stepped out and leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter should be investigated in secret, and the news of the prince's death will not be announced for the time being.

The prince is the pillar of my Great Xuan. If other countries knew about the prince's death, they would not be honest. "
