The Return of the Demon

Everyone came to the door of Yangxin Hall.

Nie Liang led a big wolf dog.

"Commander Nie, please let the dog near the gate."

Nie Liang nodded and led the big wolf dog to the gate.

Unexpectedly, the big wolf dog that was docile just now suddenly became irritable and restless, and then barked at the door of Yangxin Hall.

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Commander Nie, that's it!"

Nie Liang took the big wolf dog away for a while, and the big wolf dog suddenly became quiet.

Everyone stared at the door of Yangxin Palace with doubts in their eyes.

"I heard that dogs can see things that humans can't see. Is there a ghost on this gate?"

Princess Ninth said with some fear.

Ning Chen looked at her with disgust.

The Ninth Princess noticed Ning Chen's eyes, her face was stern, and she was about to speak, but saw Ning Chen change his smile and said: "Princess, don't be afraid, there is no ghost on this door...it's just blood."

"Blood?" Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen, "Don't show off, tell me what's going on?"

Ning Chen said: "Your Majesty, someone has smeared eel blood on the gate of the Yangxin Palace."

An unconcealable panic flashed across Master Qiu's eyes.

Ning Chen continued: "Eel blood is very fishy, ​​and when mixed with vermilion lacquer, the smell will be partially obscured, and the color is similar, making it difficult to detect."

"A dog's sense of smell is much more sensitive than a human's. It smells blood, so it barks."

Everyone suddenly realized.

"I understand...the bat also smelled blood. It wanted to suck blood, so it hit the door, right?"

The Ninth Princess looked at Ning Chen and said, with an expression like "Am I very smart?"

Ning Chen smiled slightly, then shook his head and said, "No!"

Princess Ninth's face fell, and she glared at him fiercely.

"Then why do you think the bat hit the door?"

Ning Chen smiled and said: "Because the smell of eel blood attracts mosquitoes, when bats catch mosquitoes, they occasionally hit the door."

"You're lying. It's winter now. Where do the mosquitoes come from?"

Princess Ninth retorted unconvinced.

Ning Chen said with a smile: "Although it is winter now, it has not snowed, so there are still mosquitoes."

The Ninth Princess wrinkled her nose and snorted, her little face puffed up like a cute little goldfish.

Emperor Xuan glanced at Master Qiu.

Immortal Master Qiu noticed His Majesty's eyes, his body trembled slightly, and sweat began to form on his forehead in the cold weather.

"Ning Chen, what's the explanation for that coughing sound in the grass?"

Ning Chen looked at Nie Liang.

Just as Nie Liang was about to speak, several imperial guards came quickly from a distance.

One of the guards held a hedgehog in his hand.

"Commander Nie, we found it!"

Nie Liang asked: "Found it in the grass?"

"yes!"

Ning Chen looked at Emperor Xuan and said, "Your Majesty, the one who coughed last night was this hedgehog."

"hedgehog?"

Emperor Xuan didn't know why.

Ning Chen looked at Nie Liang.

The latter immediately took the small bowl from the guard next to him and fed the hedgehog some water.

Immediately, Nie Liang put the hedgehog on the ground.

After a while, the hedgehog actually coughed.

Everyone was shocked!

Father-in-law Quan said excitedly: "Yes, that was the sound last night."

The Ninth Princess looked at Ning Chen and opened her mouth, but stopped talking.

"Ninth Princess, do you want to ask why this is happening?"

The Ninth Princess nodded her little head.

Ning Chen said with a smile: "It's actually very simple. Hedgehogs can't drink sugar water... After drinking sugar water, they will make a coughing sound, just like a person coughing, and sometimes the sound they make is like a child crying."

"Commander Nie led his men to search the grass last night. He was only looking for someone. Who would care about such a gadget?"

The Ninth Princess's eyes were bright, "Wow... Ning Chen, you are so smart!"

Others also looked at Ning Chen with admiration.

Talented, both civil and military, really amazing!

Ning Chen smiled modestly and said: "Just average, third in the world...The smartest one is your Majesty, and the second smartest one is you, princess."

The Ninth Princess became happy all of a sudden, with a bright face and a proud little hen.

Emperor Xuan looked at Ning Chen and then at the Ninth Princess, with a meaningful smile on his face.

But the next second, his face darkened and he looked at Master Qiu, "Is this the evil thing you mentioned?"

Master Qiu Xian was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop. His face was as white as paper and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Go back to your majesty... little fairy, little fairy... please have mercy on your majesty, please spare your life..."

Immortal Master Qiu was so frightened that he didn't know how to defend himself?

Emperor Xuan's face turned ugly, "It's no use that I trust you so much. You actually spread these ghostly and deceptive words in the palace, deceived me... and almost killed Ning Chen. You really deserve to die!"

"Your Majesty, spare my life, Your Majesty, please have mercy..."

Immortal Master Qiu was so frightened that he kowtowed and begged.

Emperor Xuan said angrily: "Tell me, why did you harm Ning Chen? Who instigated you?"

Immortal Master Qiu kowtowed and begged for mercy, while saying tremblingly: "No one instigated Xiaoxian, it's just that Xiaoxian was not good at learning and misunderstood Ning Yinyi... I beg your Majesty to have mercy."

Emperor Xuan snorted coldly!

"Not good at studying? What you said before was aimed at Ning Chen, and you just barely reported his name... How dare you say it was a misunderstanding?"

"Okay, don't tell me, right? I don't believe I can't pry your mouth open."

"Geng Jing."

Geng Jing hurriedly leaned over and said, "I'm here!"

"Take this piece of shit back to the Supervision Department and interrogate it yourself."

"Minister, obey your order!"

Geng Jing grabbed Master Qiu by the back of his collar and lifted him up.

The Emperor Xuan snorted coldly, turned around and walked into the Yangxin Palace, and said casually: "Ning Chen, follow me in!"

"Yes!"

Ning Chen responded, but turned around and chased Geng Jing.

"Lord Geng, wait a minute!"

Geng Jing stopped and turned around.

Ning Chen ran up to him, punched Master Qiu in his hand, and then kicked him hard in the stomach.

"You bastard, you dare to hurt me... When I go back, I will skin you alive."

"Lord Geng, you've worked hard!"

Ning Chen said, turned around and ran away.

Geng Jing's mouth twitched fiercely for a few times, and he shook his head helplessly.

A group of imperial guards were stunned.

Ning Chen was the first one who dared to take action in front of the Yangxin Palace.

They looked at Nie Liang.

Nie Liang looked up at the sky, as if he didn't see Ning Chen hitting anyone at all.

A group of guards were speechless.

Well, those who are favored are fearless. Who let Ning Chen be favored by His Majesty?

Ning Chen ran to the door of Yangxin Palace and was about to go in, but heard a thump behind him.

He looked back and saw Qiu Xianshi lying on the ground, motionless.

Ning Chen's face changed, and he turned around and ran back.

Qiu Xianshi's mouth was overflowing with black blood. He was dead.

"Sir Geng, did you kill him?"

Geng Jing had a cold face, "He died of poisoning."

Ning Chen looked at him suspiciously, "He was in your hands, and he still had a chance to take poison?"

"It was the poisonous fangs, his teeth were filled with poison... His death was caused by you!"

"What does it have to do with me? I..." Ning Chen was halfway through his words and couldn't continue. He asked guiltily: "Is it because of my two punches?"

Geng Jing looked at him speechlessly, "What do you think?"

Ning Chen was numb!

In other words, the two punches he just made broke the poisonous fangs in Qiu Xianshi's mouth.

Ning Chen laughed dryly, "He has poisonous fangs in his mouth, so he must be ready to die, right?"

Geng Jing said, "Maybe! But not everyone has the courage to bite the poisonous fangs...You punched him twice, and he had to die even if he didn't want to."

Ning Chen's laugh was uglier than crying. He just wanted to vent his anger, but who knew he would kill the man?
