Chapter 151 Emperor Ning
"That's right. You want us to protect the children of powerful families and fight for them with our lives? Dream on!" Wang Yan, who had a bad temper, also snorted angrily.

Ding Chen also clenched his fists, his eyes determined: "We can defend anywhere, but we won't defend the Demon Suppression Pass."

As the ninth prince, even if he was a waste, he was deeply hurt by the reactions of the three armies in the Demon-Suppressing Pass in this battle.

Now that he is in the late stage of Yu Hai, it is time for him to be more aggressive.

Even if there is no power behind him and no one supports him, he still plans to resist!

Tang Can also said coldly: "This general will not go either."

Pei Menglong also said coldly: "So does this general."

Immediately afterwards, Yan Cheng, Tong Linsheng and everyone else responded in unison that they would never protect the people inside the pass even if they died.

The noise was so loud that the messenger was helpless.

It seems that more than 10,000 people were seriously injured.

"General Chen, I know you are a young hero, but you...can't make things difficult for me, right?"

"Go back and report to the Grand Marshal, and tell him that Chen Xian led 16,000 men to attack the demon's lair." Chen Xian said in a deep voice.

"Under your command?" The messenger looked at Bao Guanlong in surprise.

Bao Guanlong nodded and said, "Yes, he is under his command!"

The messenger was speechless.

Bao Guanlong continued, "Chen Xian, it's useless to attack the demon's lair. With three million troops, there's no point in destroying the demon's lair. They can still rebuild it."

"If the lair you're talking about is tens of thousands of miles away, then just pretend I didn't say anything."

Chen Xian frowned slightly. The old nest he mentioned was of course the main camp of the demon army stationed in the front, but after hearing what Bao Guanlong said, it seemed to make sense.

Can I only defend?
But he really didn't want to take 16,000 people to protect the powerful people in Zhenyao Pass.

"How about this, you go back and tell the Grand Marshal that I am leading people to clean up the battlefield ahead. There are millions of demon corpses piled up like a mountain. Someone has to clean them up, otherwise what will the army eat!"

"...!!"

The messenger looked stunned, then nodded: "Okay then."

He looked at Bao Guanlong: "General Bao, what about you?"

Bao Guanlong said: "This general also wants to clean up the battlefield."

Seeing this, the messenger had no choice but to turn around and leave.

In the tent.

Pei Qingshan looked at Deng Yu, and then the two of them looked at Bao Guanlong and Chen Xian together.

It was too quick to agree.

If I had known earlier, I should have let Chen Xian speak first so that they could stay at the front to clean up the battlefield.

"We went!"

Pei Qingshan and his men returned to the interior with their soldiers.

Chen Xianze and Bao Guanlong led 16,000 people to clean up the battlefield.

"Chen Xian, is it not good to disobey the order of the Grand Marshal?" Bao Guanlong was worried.

Chen Xian stared at Bao Guanlong's broken right arm and asked, "General Bao, does it still hurt?"

Bao Guanlong's expression froze, he turned to look at his broken arm, gritted his teeth secretly and said, "Clean up the battlefield!"

Immediately, everyone began to clean up from the front of the four demon-suppressing armies, and went all the way west, piling the corpses of the demons in one place, and the corpses of the demon-suppressing soldiers in another place.

As for the Demon-Suppressing Pass, let them bleed into a river.

……

Demon Town Pass.

The third prince Ning Yang is in the demon-suppressing army, the Golden Dragon Army.

The Sixth Prince Ning Hong is in the Second Demon-Suppressing Army, the Silver Dragon Army.

The eighth prince Ning Xuan is in the three armies that suppress demons, the Black Dragon Army.

Although the three of them were not in charge of the military camp, the three generals were on the same side as them.

This is also one of the reasons why Xiahou Yu is difficult to control when he arrives at Zhenyao Pass.

The three generals were of extraordinary status, with a prince in charge of a battalion under their command, as well as princes, dukes and people from the eight prefectures serving as generals, and some of the sixteen marquises also served under them.

There are also many young talents being secretly cultivated, many of whom are in the Lingying realm and quite a few in the Tiangang realm.

As before, Gu Daiming was just one of them. They were all loyal to their superiors and hardly listened to Xia Hou Yu's words.

When the war broke out, Xiahou Yu ordered the three armies to reach the front line within one day to resist the demon army before leaving. However, no one in the three armies moved.

Xiahou Yu was also extremely angry. He fought against the Demon Saint of the Demon Clan. The Demon Saint was an ancient Kuiniu who had achieved great success in cultivation and was extremely powerful.

He used all his tricks, but ended up with a mutual loss.

After returning to the interior, the three armies were still eating, drinking and having fun.

Xiahou Yu immediately took out Emperor Ning's sword, which shocked the three generals and three princes.

The three armies began to gather soldiers and prepare for battle, but after a whole morning of gathering, people were still not gathered.

Because some people were drunk and still sleeping, and some were deliberately delaying time.

Xiahou Yu was extremely angry and killed a general on the spot. The three generals then gave a death order, and the three armies assembled and prepared to defend Zhenyao Pass.

However, the three princes did not go to war. Instead, they stayed in their respective palaces, reading books or drinking.

Xuanyang Pavilion.

On the top floor,

In the study, a young man in a black robe was holding a book in his hand. He looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. His hair was tied up high with a jade hairpin inserted in it.

No matter how you look at him from the front, the young man gives people a feeling of smiling but not smiling.

He is the third prince Ning Yang.

He was holding the "Complete Strategy" in his hand and was reading it with great interest. He turned a deaf ear to the drum beating in front of the Demon-Suppressing Pass, as if it had nothing to do with him.

After a while, a man in golden armor walked into the study quietly. Seeing that the Third Prince Ning Yang was engrossed in reading, he stood aside without disturbing him.

After a while, the Third Prince, who was reading a book, spoke slowly: "Go ahead."

The man in golden armor bowed respectfully and said, "Your Highness, the demon clan's seventh prince Cang Mingyun and ninth princess Cang Mingjin are leading an army of three million demons, and they are still a hundred miles away from arriving at the Demon Suppression Pass."

Ning Yang put the book behind him, looked at the man in golden armor and asked, "How many demon lords are here?"

The man in golden armor responded respectfully: "One of the four great masters died, and there are about twenty other demon masters, more than fifty demon emperors, and more than a thousand demon kings."

"A great demon lord died. Who killed him?" Ning Yang was a little surprised.

The man in golden armor said in a deep voice: "Your Highness also knows this person, it is Chen Xian who won the first place in this year's Monster Suppression Competition!"

"It's him?!"

Ning Yang certainly knew Chen Xian, but was very surprised.

"The strength of Demon Bear Lord is equivalent to the seventh or eighth level of Tiangang. Is Chen Xian so powerful?" He looked at the man in golden armor.

The man in golden armor wasn't sure either. After all, he didn't see Chen Xian kill the Demon Bear Lord with his own eyes. He just heard the news that this was the case.

Ning Yang saw that the latter couldn't explain it clearly, so he changed the subject and asked, "Have all the demon-suppressing soldiers been withdrawn to the interior of the pass?"

The man in golden armor said, "Nine demon-suppressing armies are not there, except for those who have almost all withdrawn to the inner pass."

Ning Yang asked: "Are Lao Wu and Lao Jiu still alive?"

The man in golden armor said, "The Fifth Prince is still alive, but the Ninth Prince's situation is unknown. According to the news, there are not many people left in the Nine Demon Suppression Armies. I think it's likely that he will be in danger..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly asked, "Why does Your Highness care about the Ninth Prince?"

Ning Yang looked out the window and said, "In less than a year, you have gone from the Body Refining Realm to the Jade Sea Realm. Do you think it is worth the attention of this prince?"

The man in golden armor's eyes flickered slightly, "His Highness the Ninth Prince is indeed not simple."

Ning Yang said: "He was just pretending before. He couldn't survive without pretending. Although it is more dangerous in the Demon Suppression Pass now, his chances of growth are actually greater."

"Remember, don't underestimate anyone."

"Besides, he is a prince."

"I'll remember that." The man in golden armor nodded.

Ning Yang changed the subject again and asked, "How is Xiahou Yu's injury?"

The man in golden armor said, "It's very heavy. That Kui Niu is very powerful."

Ning Yang nodded: "Xiahou Yu was seriously injured and it will take a while for him to recover. If the demon army does not withdraw, there will be almost no one available in the imperial court. I am afraid my father will come here in person."

The man in golden armor remained silent. The eldest prince was in Kyoto City, the second prince led troops to resist the northern barbarians, the King of Tang was guarding the Western Wilderness, the Xiahou family was guarding the Demon Abyss, and the Lu family was at peace with the world.

The people of the eight prefectures are all old, while the young and strong are either at the Demon-Suppressing Pass or the Mo-Suppressing Pass, or are guarding the East China Sea.

The aristocratic families and martial arts sects in the dynasty will not obey the dynasty's orders. Once Xiahou Yu is injured and it is difficult to recover, the people in the court who can take action are Emperor Ning himself, the eldest prince and the old bones in the eight prefectures.

Therefore, the person who can take charge of the situation may not be Emperor Ning, but perhaps the eldest prince, or an old man from the eight prefectures may be sent to temporarily lead the demon-suppressing army.

"Who does Your Highness wish to see?"

The man in golden armor was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.

However, after asking this question, he felt a little regretful. He lowered his head slightly and did not dare to look at Ning Yang.

Ning Yang turned around and stared at the man in golden armor. His originally calm eyes suddenly became sharp. "Of course, this prince hopes that the eldest prince can come."

The man in golden armor nodded silently and said, "Xiahou Yu has already passed the news back to Kyoto City. There will be results in three days at most."

"Then wait." Ning Yang said calmly.

Although the demon army is at the gate, it is impossible to break through the Demon-Suppressing Pass within three to five days.

……

Sixty thousand miles north of Zhenyao Pass lies an extremely magnificent and prosperous city.

This city is the capital of the Daning Dynasty, Kyoto.

Just when the battle at the Demon Suppression Pass was in full swing, a horse of wind and thunder galloped along the official road at lightning speed. When it was about to reach the city of Kyoto, the cavalry shouted, "Wanli, hurry!"

At the city gate, the commander-in-chief of the city guard immediately ordered his men to withdraw.

The cavalrymen from Zhenyao Pass quickly came up, waved a token in their hand in front of the governor, rode into the city, and galloped towards the palace.

Daning Palace.

It is the place where Emperor Ning rests and works.

In the luxurious palace, in front of a large throne table similar to a study, there is a middle-aged man wearing a yellow dragon robe, with a mustache and a majestic face. This man is the Emperor of Daning, Emperor Ningwu.

Emperor Ning was reviewing documents, and the chief eunuch in a purple robe was serving him.

"Damn northern barbarians!"

While he was reviewing the memorial, Emperor Ning suddenly threw the jade pen in his hand away, smashing the memorial in front of him.

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" The chief eunuch Wei Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Emperor Ning and handed him Jade Dew Nectar Tea.

Emperor Ning was in no mood to drink. He leaned back in his chair and said angrily, "Now the northern barbarians are really pushing their limits. Let me beat them up. Those barbarians will tear down the roof if I don't beat them for three days."

Wei Cheng held up the teacup and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, our great Daning is the kingdom of God, with strong soldiers and horses. The second prince is at the fifth level of Tiangang, with extraordinary wisdom and courage. With him suppressing them, it won't be long before those barbarians surrender."
