The Return of the Demon

Ning Chen was speechless.

"I'm going to stand trial, my life is almost gone, and you're still making fun of me... You all don't treat me like a human being."

Feng Qizheng said with a smile: "How is it, are you not nervous anymore?"

"We are trying to relax you. During the trial, you can use your eloquence to fight for your chance to survive."

Ning Chen snorted proudly and said: "I'm not nervous at all... Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are determined by God, I have long seen it through."

"Yo yo yo... Look at what you can do, you little chicken who has never slept with a woman."

Everyone laughed again.

Ning Chen rolled his eyes in anger.

Suddenly, Pan Yucheng, who was walking in front, stopped.

Others also stopped.

"Boss, what's wrong?"

"Shh..." Pan Yuchen made a gesture to silence, then listened attentively, and suddenly his face changed and shouted: "All get down!"

The people in the Supervisory Department are all masters, well-trained, and their bodies have reacted before their brains react.

Ning Chen was also pinned down by Gao Ziping and lay on the ground.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!

Spear-like arrows shot out from the walls on both sides, almost brushing against everyone's bodies, and then pierced through the opposite wall, leaving fist-sized holes.

The walls on both sides were made thinner by someone.

"Everyone be careful, it's a war crossbow!"

Pan Yucheng reminded.

A war crossbow is a large crossbow arrow used on the battlefield. The arrows are like spears and can easily kill war horses.

"Gao Ziping, Feng Qizhen, go to the left!"

"Chen Chong, Hao Ying, go to the right!"

"The rest of you, pay attention to the roof."

Pan Yucheng ordered calmly.

"Yes!"

Others reacted quickly.

Feng Qizhen and Gao Ziping stood up, with a long knife in their left hand and a crossbow in their right hand, and rushed over the left wall and disappeared.

But soon, a shrill scream was heard on the other side of the wall!

Chen Chong and Hao Ying also crossed the wall on the right, and soon, the sound of weapons colliding was heard.

At this time, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.

Many archers appeared on the roofs on both sides.

Pan Yucheng picked up Ning Chen and moved left and right, with a cold light in his long sword.

More than ten arrows were cut off and fell to the ground.

"Go to the roof and get rid of them."

Pan Yucheng ordered.

Several silver-clad men raised their crossbows and shot at the black-clad men on the roof, forcing them to dodge.

Several other silver-clad men took the opportunity to jump over the wall, sprinted along the wall, and jumped onto the roof with one jump... With a raised left hand, the crossbow shot out a sharp sword, and the man took the opportunity to pounce on the other party.

Several screams rang out!

Several black-clad men were hit by arrows and rolled down from the roof.

The silver-clad men on the ground acted quickly and rushed up... No matter if they were killed or not, they would finish them off with a knife first.

For a moment, screams and metal clashing rang out.

These killers were very skilled.

But the Supervisory Department was full of experienced fighters, and they worked well together, making them even better.

Gao Ziping and Feng Qi were climbing over the wall.

"Boss, everyone inside has been dealt with!"

There was a yard behind the wall, and several killers inside were killed by the two men.

At this time, Yang Chong and Hao Ying also climbed over the wall on the other side and nodded to Pan Yucheng, meaning that all the killers inside had been dealt with.

Pan Yucheng said in a deep voice: "You four, escort Ning Chen away first... The rest of you, follow me to fight, and don't let anyone go."

"Yes!"

Gao Ziping and the other four waved their knives to cut off the arrows shot at them, while protecting Ning Chen's retreat.

They kept retreating from the attack range of the arrows, and then rushed towards the direction of the palace with Ning Chen.

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered: "It seems that there are many people who want to kill me?" Gao Ziping glanced at him and saw that Ning Chen was calm and fearless, and he couldn't help but admire him. He lowered his voice and said, "Everyone, be careful to prevent another ambush."

"Ning Chen, can you guess who wants to kill you?"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "It's not hard to guess... There are only a few people who want my life."

"First, it's the Queen and the Third Prince. They both want to avenge the King's uncle."

"Second, it's the Left Prime Minister. I killed the King's uncle, which is a great crime of exterminating nine clans... The Ning family and the Prime Minister's Mansion are in-laws, and this matter will implicate the Prime Minister's Mansion. This is the Imperial City, under the feet of the Emperor. If I die on the street, His Majesty will definitely be furious and will shift his attention to finding the murderer, so that they will have a chance to get away with it."

"Third, it's the high-ranking officials in the capital. The officials of Chongzhou have been arrested, and some people must be panicking... However, it is unlikely that they will kill me, because the officials of Chongzhou have been arrested, and killing me will not help."

Gao Ziping and the others looked at Ning Chen, speechless.

Ning Chen was stunned, "What's wrong? Is my analysis wrong?"

Feng Qizheng's mouth twitched, and he said: "Your analysis is correct... But do you realize that you are too capable of causing trouble."

"Which of these people who want your life is easy to mess with? The queen, the third prince, the left prime minister... You really only offend big people."

Ning Chen was stunned, and when he thought about it, it was true. The people he offended were all the top big people.

But what about big people?

They are willing to sacrifice their lives to bring down the emperor.

If he can walk out of the palace alive this time, he will definitely find ways to kill these people.

After all, if you offend these people, either you die or they die... After thinking about it, it's better for them to die.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly afterwards.

Several people escorted Ning Chen to the palace smoothly.

Then, the imperial guards escorted several people to the court.

Outside the court, there were two long lines of officials of low official positions, and the court could not accommodate so many people.

Now it is winter, and it is dawn, which is the coldest time. The officials outside are so cold that their faces are blue. Despite this, they have to bend their waists and dare not make big movements, not even moving their bodies.

If you are discovered by the imperial guards next to you, you will be punished for disrespect immediately.

Look at how cold these grandchildren are... Ning Chen gloated in his heart.

At this time, all the censors in the court jumped out one by one.

These court trolls began to criticize Ning Chen, criticize Ning Ziming for not educating his children strictly, and criticize Geng Jing for not managing his subordinates well.

The left prime minister stood at the head of the civil officials, lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking?

The right prime minister did not say anything either, squinting his eyes slightly, like an old monk in meditation.

Daxuan has two prime ministers.

The left prime minister is the head of the civil officials.

The right prime minister is closer to the military generals.

In short, the two of them don't get along, and they are both holding back to kill each other.

Of course, this is also the art of the emperor.

If the ministers don't argue or quarrel, and don't check each other, how can the emperor have peace?

Emperor Xuan looked at these censors jumping up and down expressionlessly.

At this time, a royal guard walked into the hall quickly, knelt on one knee, and said: "Your Majesty, Ning Chen is here!"

In an instant, the whole court was quiet, and there was no sound.

Only the left prime minister had a violent fluctuation in his eyes... but soon returned to normal.

Emperor Xuan said lightly: "Bring him in."
