Chapter 109 This is the surprise I prepared for you [5000,
Zhang Chi also agreed to Ning Chen's proposal to prevent his ancestor from taking action.
"Don't worry, Chief Ning Yuan. I'll go talk to the ancestor. I believe the ancestor will understand your intentions, Chief Ning Yuan."
After thinking about it for a while, Ning Chen felt that if he just talked about this matter, it would still be unsafe.
Ning Chen was really worried that after what Zhang Chi said, the Zhang family ancestor thought that Zhang Chi, an unscrupulous descendant, was lying about the military situation.
In the end, if the success falls short, then I will really cry to death.
Now that his emotions have been pushed here, Ning Chen must try his best to ensure that this time it cannot be reversed.
After all, the reputation points this time are really many.
"Master Zhang, I'd better go with you to visit the old man. Let's explain this matter face to face.
Otherwise, the senior would think that I didn’t trust him, which would easily cause some unnecessary misunderstandings.”
Ning Chen had such a request, and Zhang Chi didn't think much about it.
"That's fine."
Ning Chen's trip lasted a whole day.
It was easy to explain that I had other plans.
After explaining the matter, the ancestor of the Zhang family agreed that Ning Chen would have nothing to do today.
He grabbed Ning Chen and asked for advice again.
By the time Ning Chen left the Zhang family ancestor's place, it was already late at night.
Although another day was wasted, a hidden danger of backstabbing was finally solved.
This is still very good for Ning Chen.
The battle that followed was not as simple as Ning Chen thought.
Originally, Ning Chen thought that the war on the Zhang family's side would soon come to an end.
However, for several days in a row, the attacks from the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom not only continued, but also tended to become more and more intense.
Most of the thousand rounds of artillery shells purchased by the Zhang family have been consumed.
And it can be seen that the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom should be replenishing their troops at any time.
“I’m afraid that this offensive of Ning Yuan’s Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom will not end in a short time.
During the period when the head of Ningyuan was in my Zhang family, he already helped my Zhang family a lot.
Although I hope that the head of Ningyuan can always stay in my Zhang family, but head of Ningyuan, you are not only the master of a hundred colleges, but also the master of a hundred cities.
I'm really sorry that I have to stay at the head of Ningyuan."
On this day, Zhang Chi took the initiative to find Ning Chen and expressed to Ning Chen that he hoped Ning Chen would leave.
Of course, this is not an eviction order, but Zhang Chi uses a more proactive method to give Ning Chen a way to leave.
Ning Chen naturally understood Zhang Chi's good intentions, and Ning Chen would certainly not refuse such a good intention.
In fact, if Zhang Chi doesn't come to see him, Ning Chen also plans to see Zhang Chi and bid farewell.
"Thank you Zhang family for your understanding. In that case, I won't bother you. I will take the people back to Baijia City today." Ning Chen said with his hands in hand.
Zhang Chi said: "My Zhang family has given me a lot of help from Ning Yuan, but my Zhang family has nothing to give.
My Zhang family still has some cultural treasures of the Confucian level.
These items were selected by Ancestor and I so that the leader of Ning Yuan might use them.
Please also ask the head of Ningyuan, please don’t refuse.”
Zhang Chi waved his hand, and four cultural treasures were suspended in front of Ning Chen.
The four cultural treasures include a paperweight, a sword, a writing brush, and an inkstone.
Ning Chen didn't think anything of the other three items, but that inkstone, Ning Chen thought was quite extraordinary.
The inkstone looks old at first glance, but there is still ink inside.
And the ink is still flowing. At first glance, it seems that what you are looking at is not the ink in an inkstone.
It's like a sea of ink.
"This square inkstone was used by my Half-Saint ancestor of the Zhang family back then. It was contaminated with Semi-Saint literature and became a cultural treasure.
The ink in this square inkstone can create a world of its own to trap people.
It can also be turned into ink that splashes across the sky, causing the world to temporarily lose all light.
Those who splash ink can use Haoran's righteousness as a guide to draw some offensive or defensive objects or environments in the world.
But this kind of ability can only be used once a month at most, and then you have to wait for it to slowly recover."
Ning Chen understood, was this CD cooling?
But this square inkstone is really a valuable treasure.
"Master Zhang, this gift is too valuable." Although the baby is a good baby, Ning Chen also has a bottom line.
If Zhang Chi didn't come up with a justifiable reason, Ning Chen would definitely not want this thing.
Zhang Chi took the initiative to explain: "Ning Yuan Head, these gifts are definitely not that much compared to the gifts that Ning Yuan Head gave to my Zhang family.
Just the words "righteousness" written by Ning Yuan under the wall of my Zhang family are worthless than these.
The word "righteousness" written by you, Mr. Ning Yuan, has more than doubled the overall defense power of my Zhang family.
The power of Zhang family students' literary skills on the city wall has also doubled.
Not to mention, these "righteous" words will bring benefits to my ancestor of the Zhang family and other students of my Zhang family.
So these things are really not expensive."
"That was originally my compensation to the Zhang family." Ning Chen said.
Zhang Chi said: "Master Ning Yuan, you helped my Zhang family guard Xincheng for so many days, and you also provided my Zhang family with Italian cannons.
These are already the best compensation. Those words of "righteousness" are gifts from the head of Ningyuan to my Zhang family.
The head of Ningyuan should not shirk it, this is also what the ancestor meant.
If the head of Ningyuan doesn't accept it, I won't be able to pay my respects to my ancestor."
Ning Chen smiled and said: "In that case, I have no choice but to give you the gift and dare not say goodbye."
Zhang Chi also laughed and said, "That's it."
After Ning Chen accepted the Wenbao, he told Zhang Chi that after he returned this time, he would arrange for another batch of cannonballs to be sent to the Zhang family.
Ning Chen's promise is really a timely help for Zhang Chi.
After all, the current war may be longer than ever before.
After explaining the matter about the cannonball, Ning Chen stopped chatting with Zhang Chi.
Ning Chen still has a lot to do next. It's really not good to keep chatting here.
After taking Fang Xiong and Shenlong Wei and saying goodbye to Zhang Chi.
He left Xincheng directly.
Because the Shenlong Guard had been following Fang Xiong, although many people were injured, no one died.
This is also a very rare thing.
Ning Chen rode on the back of the tiger demon, silently calculating in his heart how many days it would take for him to come out.
"It's been half a month since I came out."
After making some calculations, Ning Chen realized that he had a long time to come out.
The battle that could have ended in a short period of time now seems likely to last for a long time.
This time, the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom has obviously reached some kind of agreement and tacit understanding.
The several big clans in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom are probably all working hard, hoping that in this battle, they can either grab enough supplies to survive the winter, or consume enough demon clans.
At the same time, enough humans must be consumed.
This will make it easier for them to launch another attack on the human race in winter.
At the same time, this attitude also shows that on the issue of Shang Town, the attitude of the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom is much more decisive than Ning Chen thought.
They obviously do not intend to make too many concessions on the issue of shopping towns in the short term.
As for the long-term results, I'm afraid it still depends on whose fist is stronger.
Peace is something that cannot be negotiated. It is all based on a strong enough fist.
"General Fang, I'm afraid you will have to work harder after returning to Baijia City.
There is no possibility that this war will stop in the short term." Ning Chen said to Fang Xiong who was sitting next to him.
"Just what I wanted."
Sure enough, it was Fang Xiong’s answer pattern.
However, with such a experienced general commanding his troops, Ning Chen felt at ease.
Through observation during this period, Ning Chen also saw that although Fang Xiong killed people, he still took good care of his subordinates.
Of course, Fang Xiong's kind of care is different from the usual care.
For example, Qu Zhong was surrounded on the battlefield.
Fang Xiong only helped Qu Zhong to deal with a demon clan that affected the balance, and then Qu Zhong had to kill the rest by himself.
If he couldn't be killed, then Fang Xiong would most likely not rescue Qu Zhong.
Fang Xiong's help always urges people to become stronger, rather than mindless, Virgin-like help.
Fang Xiong is a general who goes into battle to kill the enemy. He is definitely not and has never been a nanny.
So if you expect to get nanny-style protection from Fang Xiong, you are definitely overthinking.
The distance from Xincheng to Baijiacheng in Ningchen is about one thousand two hundred miles.
According to the speed of the demon knight, three days is enough.
After just one day of walking, Ning Chen and the others were stopped.
It was not the demon race that stopped Ning Chen, but the human race.
To be precise, they are some disciples of the Luanzhou Half-Saint Family and direct heirs of the family.
"Why are you planning to compete with me here?" Ning Chen sat on the tiger demon and said to them with contempt.
Fang Xiong was beside him, plus the Dragon Guard behind him.
They want to stop them here, but the people in front of them are obviously not enough.
Even if they sent several ancestors from the family, Ning Chen would be sure to leave here with Fang Xiong.
As long as you leave your own dragon guards, they will be safe.
No matter how crazy the people of the Semi-Saint Family were, they would not dare to take action against the mighty imperial army.
Unless they really don't want to live anymore.
Therefore, Ning Chen was not afraid at all when faced with such a person who intercepted him halfway.
However, these children of the Semi-Saint family who intercepted Ning Chen on the way had no intention of taking action against Ning Chen.
"Ning Chen, you diverted trouble to the east and left such a mess. Now you just want to pat your butt and leave.
Don’t you think it’s too irresponsible of you to do this?
Is this worthy of the human race?"
After hearing such criticism, Ning Chen understood.
These people come and go to add stigma buffs to themselves.
But they really wanted to keep it simple, and Ning Chen would be afraid of the stigma buff.
What Ning Chen needs most now is these stigmas.
Seeing that his [nice] point has already exploded, who would continue to light Ning Chen's fire at this time?
Why should Ning Chen worry about his reputation not exploding?
After one person started, everyone attacked and criticized Ning Chen with all kinds of vicious words.
In their mouths, Ning Chen has become the biggest villain among the human race.
All bad things can have something to do with Ning Chen.
After blaming for more than half an hour, Ning Chen saw that there were no voices on the other side and asked calmly: "Do you have anything else to say?"
"If you want to hear it, we can scold you for three days and three nights." Someone said through gritted teeth.
"That's not possible. I'm still in a hurry. Three days and three nights is not enough."
After a pause, Ning Chen suggested: "But you can record the process of scolding me with a recording stone.
When the time comes, you can ask someone to send it to Baijiacheng for me.
The same goes for you. If there is anything else you want to say, record it with a photo stone.
When the time comes, send them all to Baijiacheng so that I can have a good look at them."
Ning Chen's answer shocked all the disciples of the Semi-Saint Family.
They never expected that Ning Chen could actually say such words.
"Ning Chen, I have never seen such a shameless person like you!" the disciple of the Zhu family said through gritted teeth.
Ning Chen spread his hands and said, "Look, didn't we see this today?
Today, I will treat it as a free opportunity to increase your knowledge.
For the rest of you, you have never seen this or that.
It looks like you have never seen it on the market.
Today's lesson is given to you by Owen for free.
Shu Xiao will be spared. Now that the demon envoy has nothing to do, just get out of the way for me."
Seeing that no one was moving, Ning Chen suppressed the smile on his face and said, "I'm in a hurry now and don't have time to chat with you.
I said, if you want to say anything else, you can record it with a shadow stone.
If you don't give way now, don't blame me for being rude to you."
After finishing speaking, Ning Chen said to everyone behind him: "All officers and soldiers listen to the order. If they don't give way after ten breaths, they will be killed without mercy!"
"yes!"
Fang Xiong and others agreed in unison.
There was a great killer like Fang Xiong in Ning Chen's team, and they all knew about it when they came.
So after Ning Chen said "Kill without mercy", they already silently moved out of the way.
If a murderer like Fang Xiong is targeted, there will really be only one way to die.
"Let's go!"
Seeing that the road was cleared, Ning Chen waved his hand and said.
"yes."
Under the attention of everyone, Ning Chen took Qu Zhong and the others and left here with a smile.
When Ning Chen left, these students and the next generation of the Semi-Saint Family became even more indignant.
They really couldn't understand how a traitor like Ning Chen could obtain such a high honor in the court.
How could a person like Ning Chen, who had no regard for propriety, justice and integrity, advance so far on the holy path?
Ning Chen's existence seemed to be satirizing their incompetence.
On the other hand, Ning Chen, who was far away, was very open-minded about this matter.
There are a lot of [nice] points. After entering the background, Ning Chen really can't find any reason to be unhappy.
Because what did those students and direct descendants say about themselves?
It's just a few words, and it won't be a waste of time.
On the contrary, these large amounts of [轞] points can really make Ning Chen gain weight.
Ning Chen believed that after what happened today, his reputation in Luanzhou would be ruined.
Except for the Zhang family, there will be no impact.
The other semi-saint families in Luanzhou will probably despise themselves, and then give themselves some [neglect] points by the way.
This time Ning Chen just needs to wait quietly for settlement.
On the evening of the third day, Ning Chen's Dragon Guard and Fang Xiong finally returned to the gate of Baijia City.
After confirming Ning Chen's identity, the formation slowly opened a gap, enough for Ning Chen and the others to pass through.
When Ning Chen and Fang Xiong entered through the gate, they clearly felt that the formation should have scanned each of them.
Obviously this is also a means to judge whether Ning Chen and the others are really the deities.
Let Fang Xiong and the others go down to rest first. Ning Chen also met Guo Xin and Yun Xuanzi in his city lord's mansion.
Without Ning Chen's instructions, Guo Xin began to introduce some of the recent situations in Baijia City.
"City Lord, Wu Zhizao and the others were ordered to return to the capital a few days ago."
"In the past few days, our Baijia City has been attacked five times by the Ten Thousand Monster Kingdom..."
Following Guo Xin's introduction, Ning Chen also discovered that his Baijia City was still very safe.
If Yun Xuanzi personally presides over the formation, that really means unless the first-grade Demon Emperor himself commits suicide.
Otherwise, the Demon King's visit will be in vain.
The only regret is that because we were always on the defensive, very few supplies were seized.
The current daily consumption of materials in the city is relatively large.
Because the current food of the two military towns on the left and right also comes from Baijia City.
Although there is still some food and grass in these two military towns.
However, Guo Xin wanted to prevent the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom from dividing their three parts with heavy troops just in case.
When the food road is cut off, the people in the two remaining military towns will be hungry.
Now let them eat from the hundreds of cities first, and continue to store the food and grass in their own military towns for emergencies.
"This matter was indeed decided by my subordinates privately. Please ask the city lord to punish me." Guo Xin took the initiative to find fault with Ning Chen.
Ning Chen waved his hand and said, "You did a very good job in this matter. You are not guilty."
"Thank you City Lord for your kindness without punishment." Guo Xin said with a deep salute to Ning Chen.
"Get up."
After saying that, Ning Chen turned to Yun Xuanzi and said, "Senior Yun, it's been really hard for Senior Yun during my absence.
To express my gratitude, I have brought you another big order, Senior Yun.
It’s still a thousand rune cannonballs, but this time the extra reward is seventy thousand taels.”
In fact, it was an additional remuneration of one hundred thousand taels at that time.
Seeing how Yun Xuanzi made it so safe for him.
Ning Chen then gave Yun Xuanzi twenty thousand taels.
When it comes to working overtime, there is a first time and a second time.
If it's the kind that gives money, there's even less to say.
Immediately accepting the task, Yun Xuanzi left to find someone to work overnight to make the rune cannonballs.
After Yun Xuanzi left, Guo Xincai spoke to Ning Chen again and said, "City Lord, someone from the Buddhist Kingdom in the Western Regions is looking for the City Lord."
