The Return of the Demon

#1211 - Loyalty and righteousness are difficult to achieve

Pan Yucheng asked someone to send the doctor out, then looked at Ning Chen and said, "The doctor just checked. The sword wound on the chest was treated in time and there is no inflammation. Just take the medicine when you are safe.

As for the leg injury, it will take some time to recover.”

Ning Chen hummed and walked into the room.

The sharpshooter lay on the bed, his face pale.

When he saw Ning Chen, his eyes were somewhat complicated.

Pan Yucheng brought a chair over, and Ning Chen sat down and asked, "What's your name?"

The latter hesitated for a moment and said, "Lian Fei."

Ning Chen was surprised. The surname Lian was a rare one.

Xiao Yanxi said in surprise: "He is good at archery, and his arrows never miss their target... He can shoot arrows through the air from a hundred steps away?"

Lian Fei looked at Xiao Yanxi in shock, "Does the girl know me?"

Ning Chen also looked at her with some curiosity.

Xiao Yanxi said: "On the list of top masters of Taichu Pavilion, Lian Fei ranks seventh...but this list is only ranked according to skills.

I heard from my father that if his skills were combined with archery, he would be ranked in the top five among the top masters.”

Pan Yucheng snorted disdainfully.

Ning Chen turned his head to look at him, and asked curiously: "I have never asked, where does Lao Pan rank on the list of top masters?"

Xiao Yanxi said: "Eighth."

Ning Chen laughed. It turned out that he was outshined by Lian Fei. No wonder Old Pan looked at Lian Fei with disdain.

Lian Fei smiled bitterly, "I know that if I assassinate the prince, I will be despised by my fellow martial artists... but since ancient times, it has been difficult to be both loyal and righteous.

I owed you a huge favor back then, and I have to repay it."

Pan Yucheng said angrily: "For a favor, you want to assassinate the regent of Daxuan... Do you know that the prince is responsible for the safety of the entire Daxuan? People like you are considered heroes, but I think you are just a petty thief."

Lian Fei said ashamedly: "I didn't mean to kill the prince!"

Ning Chen smiled and said, "He is right. When he shot arrows at me, every arrow avoided my vital points."

Pan Yucheng said in a deep voice: "Feng Qizheng said that the first arrow you attacked was aimed at the back of his head and almost took his life."

Lian Fei hurriedly said: "I didn't shoot that arrow."

Ning Chen nodded. The force of that arrow was much weaker.

Ning Chen asked: "Now that things have come to this, tell me... Who asked you to assassinate me?"

Lian Fei was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "I don't know who he is? I only know his last name is Ye.

Half a year ago, I was poisoned by my enemy and my life was hanging by a thread. He saved me... In return, I have to do three things for him."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. His last name is Ye?

It seems to be Ye Xingjue.

Maybe Lian Fei was poisoned by Ye Xingjue, otherwise his life would be hanging by a thread, how could Ye Xingjue detoxify him?

But Ning Chen didn't care about that. He asked, "What three things did he ask you to do?"

Lian Fei said: "The first thing to do is to snatch the jade pendant from the prince."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "You are not telling the truth."

Lian Fei sighed and said, "Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the prince. That's right... He not only wants the jade pendant, but also wants me to kill you at all costs."

"If you snatch the jade pendant, how do you give it to him?"

Lian Fei said: "Just give the jade pendant to a guy named Li Tong at Mi Sheng Wine Shop in the north of Xuanwu City."

Ning Chen remembered the name in his mind, and then continued to ask: "How do you know my whereabouts?"

Lian Fei shook his head, "I don't know either. The person in charge of this operation was killed by you in the rice shop."

Ning Chen frowned slightly and was about to speak when Feng Qi ran in.

"My Lord, Prince Qing is here!"

Ning Chen was slightly startled, then nodded to indicate that he understood.

He looked at Lian Fei and said, “I have never been merciful to anyone who wants to murder me.

You are the first person who made me appreciate talent.

Your archery skills are amazing, and I admire you very much. After you recover from your injury, if you want to stay by my side and serve me, I will welcome you. If you don't want to, just leave on your own. I will never force you.

But you must remember one thing clearly, this king never gives anyone a second chance...If you dare to attack this king again, I will kill your entire clan."

After saying that, without giving Lian Fei a chance to speak, he stood up and walked outside.

When they reached the door, Ning Chen lowered his voice and said to Xiao Yanxi, "Send a message to Jiang Zhengyang and ask him to control Li Tong, the clerk of Misheng Liquor Store.

In addition, let Taichu Pavilion spread the news, so that all friends in the martial arts world know that Lian Fei’s attempt to assassinate me failed.”

Xiao Yanxi thought about it and understood.

As a result, Lian Fei had no place to stand in the martial arts world. If he wanted to stay alive and make amends for his crime, he could only surrender to Ning Chen.

She nodded slightly, complaining in her heart that her man was really sinister.

"By the way, is there any news about Tan Tai Qing Yue recently? How is her pursuit of Kang Bao Bao going?"

Xiao Yanxi shook her head. "There is no latest news at the moment, but there should be news in the next two days."

Ning Chen hummed, "Tell me as soon as you have any news. This Kang Baobao is quite interesting... I can imagine that Xiao Danzi is probably going crazy now."

Tan Tai Qing Yue was an existence that looked down upon all the others and was very proud in her bones.

It’s been so long, and I haven’t been able to kill Kang Baobao. I guess he must be very angry.

Halfway through, the two separated.

Xiao Yanxi went to do what Ning Chen asked her to do.

Ning Chen came to the front hall to meet Prince Qing.

Prince Qing held the fine porcelain blue teacup and sipped it slowly and leisurely.

On the ground, there lay a person covered in scars and blood, looking horrible.

Seeing Ning Chen coming in, Prince Qing put down his teacup, smiled sweetly and said, "I thought you wouldn't see me?"

Ning Chen looked at the person on the ground and felt that he was familiar. He then asked casually, "Why won't I see you? Have you done anything to let me down?"

"Yes... There are people around me who are dishonest and revealed your whereabouts to others, causing you to be ambushed on the way." King Qing said, pointing at the person on the ground, "I have brought the person to you, and you have the final say on how to deal with him. In addition, let me add one more thing... I really don't want to harm you."

Ning Chen narrowed his eyes and looked at her, "Why should I believe you? He is your man, maybe he is under your orders."

Prince Qing shrugged, "I remember you came from the Great Xuan Supervisory Department. It is said that there is no mouth that the Supervisory Department cannot pry open. This person is right here, you can interrogate him at will."

Ning Chen was about to speak when he saw Xiao Yanxi walk in quickly and hand a note to Ning Chen, "Just received news."

Ning Chen took it and took a look, his expression suddenly changed.
