The Return of the Demon

Yudie felt like being struck by lightning, her head buzzed, her vision went dark, and her body shook.

Nanzhi held the child in one hand and quickly supported her with the other.

Nanzhi’s face was also full of disbelief. Ning Chen died suddenly...how is this possible?

Pan Yucheng sent him a letter home some time ago, saying that he and Ning Chen would be able to return to the capital before the end of the year.

Now, less than a month away from the end of the year, the news that awaits us is Ning Chen’s death.

At the same time, there was a loud bang.

Nie Liang looked over when he heard the sound, and saw Zi Su standing at the door, stunned as a fool, with a broken wooden bowl under his feet.

Yudie has been feeling uneasy lately, so she went to make some sedatives for her.

After the medicine was boiled, she returned to the room and heard the maid say that Yudie came to the hall to see Commander Nie, so she followed.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard Nie Liang say that Ning Chen was dead.

She was struck by lightning and the medicine bowl in her hand broke into pieces.

Because she knew very well that Nie Liang would not joke about such things, nor would he dare to make such a big joke.

Besides, he came here under the imperial order. Your Majesty never jokes, and it is even more impossible for him to make such a joke.

So... this thing is real.

Nanzhi was still calm and said in a low voice: "Commander Nie, this kind of thing is not a joke."

Nie Liang said in a low voice, "I also thought I was joking. Even if it is a crime of disrespect, I am willing to accept the punishment."

Nanzhi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a moment.

She turned her head to look at Yudie, whose face was as pale as paper, with a look of worry on her face, "Are you okay?"

Yudie's eyes were dull and she shook her head numbly, "I'm fine. What could happen to me? I..."

She didn't finish her words before she fell down limply, heartbroken and fainted.

......

Nanyue, Biluo City.

In the City Lord's Mansion, there was a heavy snowfall last night and the servants were sweeping the snow.

In the study, Kang Luo was dressed in white, as if someone had died in his family. He sat by the stove, reading a military book seriously.

He now occupies two cities, namely Biluo City and Qimu City.

He successively captured three cities of Gaoli State, looted countless supplies, and saved the people of the two cities.

In the eyes of the people of Biluo City and Qimu City, Kang Luo is now the savior and a god-like existence.

However, the second prince Kang Feng occupied the imperial city and used the emperor to control the princes.

The old emperor is now sidelined and almost a decoration.

The one who really has the final say is the second prince Kang Feng.

Kang Feng sent orders several times, asking Kang Luo to return to Beijing.

Kang Luo ignored it completely.

He is not stupid. Once he returns to Beijing, he will surely die.

Now, although he only occupied two cities, he was deeply loved by the people...and the army expanded from 100,000 to 140,000.

It's freezing cold today, not suitable for fighting.

When spring comes next year, he will definitely return to Beijing, but he will lead his troops into the capital.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in Confucian clothes, walked in.

This man, Gao Life, looks like a scholar, but in fact he is highly skilled and a versatile person with both literary and martial skills, and is deeply trusted by Kang Luo.

Gao Lifu knelt on one knee, "Greetings, Your Highness!"

"To reply Your Highness, Ning Chen is dead."

Kang Luo froze until he smelled a pungent smell of smoke.

Flames started burning in the brazier. He was so shocked that the military book in his hand fell into the brazier... By the time he reacted, the military book had been burned to ashes.

But at this moment, he didn't care about these and quickly stretched out his hand.

Gao Lifu quickly handed over the secret letter.

After reading the secret letter, Kang Luo remained silent for a long time.

Gao Lifu smiled and said, "Congratulations, Your Highness. Congratulations, Your Highness, Ning Chen died suddenly. No one in this world can be your opponent anymore.

With your ability, it is only a matter of time before you lead your army to capture the Great Xuan Imperial City... to avenge Ning Chen's capture of our Nanyue Imperial City."

Kang Luo sighed deeply, his expression full of disbelief, and muttered: "Ning Chen is actually dead, he is actually dead... Li Fu, do you think this is true?"

Gao Lifu leaned forward and said, "The letter said that the news of Ning Chen's sudden death spread throughout Bianzhou. On the day when the body left Bianzhou, the people of the city knelt to bid farewell to him. This should not be false.

Daxuan is still relatively stable now. If he dies, the current stability will be disrupted, which will do more harm than good... If he says that Ning Chen is faking his death, what is his purpose? This is totally unnecessary.

Ning Chen died suddenly, this news should be true... I can only say that God is jealous of talented people."

Kang Luo sighed, "It's really unpredictable. Ning Chen is a man of natural talent, well-versed in literature and martial arts, and invincible on the battlefield. How could such a person suddenly die... It seems that it is really as you said, God is jealous of talented people."

Gao Lifu leaned over and said with a smile: "No matter how Ning Chen died, this is a good thing for His Highness."

Kang Luo threw the secret letter in his hand into the brazier, curled his lips, and said softly: "To be honest, I hope Ning Chen dies, but I want him to die in my hands.

I couldn't be happy about his sudden death.

Ning Chen is the most formidable opponent I have ever met in this world. It is hard to find an opponent. Now that he is dead, who will be worthy of being my opponent in the future?"

Gao Lifu glanced sideways, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

Kang Luo sighed again and said, "Li Fu, has Ning Chen's body been sent back to Daxuan Capital?"

Gao Lifu said: "According to the time, it should be here in a few days."

Kang Luo thought for a moment and said, "Send a message to our people and send two wreaths over.

I have known Ning Chen for a long time, and I should have gone to offer my condolences in person, but the distance is too far, so I can only send two wreaths to express my feelings."

Gao Lifu leaned forward and said, "Yes!"

"Also, notify everyone that I am a vegetarian today... I will be a vegetarian every year on this day in the future to commemorate Ning Chen."

Gao Lifu thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, Ning Chen's death anniversary is not today."

Kang Luo waved his hand and said, "For memorial ceremonies, first of all, you have to remember it. The date is not important. What matters is the intention.

I learned about Ning Chen's death today, so for me, today is Ning Chen's death anniversary.

By the way, go prepare some incense and wine now, I want to offer sacrifices to Ning Chen."

Gao Lifu took the order and said, "Yes!" and then walked out.

Soon, Gao Lifu prepared incense, wine and drinks.

Kang Luo waved his hand to let Gao Lifu go down.

He sat alone on the cold steps at the door, burning paper for Ning Chen.

He also poured two glasses of wine and added some paper to the brazier. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Ning Chen, Ning Chen, you are finally dead.

To be honest, I'm a little afraid of you... I won't be able to sleep or eat unless you die.

It’s good that you died, it’s really good that you died... It’s hard to find a crappy opponent. I would be so happy if I didn’t have an opponent as tough as you.

Now that you are gone, who can stop me?

Just go and die in peace. When I lead my army to attack the Great Xuan Imperial City in the future, I will definitely leave a way out for the people around you because of our acquaintance..."

As Kang Luo was speaking, Gao Lifu, who had left, suddenly came back and raised the letter in his hand, "Your Highness, a secret letter from Bianzhou."
