Chapter 119 Who Are You?
The door opened and closed again, leaving Shen Ning alone in the room, and Chengying's voice was heard outside.
"Master Ning, please rest assured. I will be on guard here."
Shen Ning responded, but felt a little confused.
Why did Xiao Nanchen hug her just now?
Could it be that what happened tonight was too dangerous...
On the other side, Xiao Nanchen went out and took the soft sword from Chi Xiao's hand, and with a snap, he buckled it around his waist and hid it under his belt.
In front, Xie Yuncheng came over quickly, his expression a little grim: "Both of them are here, who could it be?"
Xiao Nanchen had no expression: "You'll know later."
He asked, "Is everything arranged?"
Xie Yuncheng nodded: "Well, according to your highness's instructions, everything will be arranged properly."
The night lights and the cold light of cold weapons flashed in Xiao Nanchen's eyes: "Let's go and take a look."
In the Dongfeng Hall where Zhou Chenglu worked, Xinzhou Governor Yang Xu and Xinzhou Prefect were already sitting inside, both with grim expressions.
After all, the commander-in-chief of the army in a continent was actually suspected of collaborating with the Japanese... This matter was too big, and even if they were unaware of it, they would find it difficult to escape the connection.
When Xie Yuncheng pushed the door open and walked in, even the Governor Yang Xu immediately stood up to greet him: "Xie Sishi, what's the matter? Has Zhou Chenglu explained everything?"
Yang Xu's face was filled with worry. "He is in charge of the Xinzhou Army and knows all our deployments. If he leaks it, Xinzhou will be in danger!"
The prefect Tao Yongnian nodded with a creaking sound, his expression also very worried: "It would be good if you told us, so we can make preparations earlier."
There was nothing unusual in the expressions of these two people, as if they were just worried about the safety of Xinzhou.
Tao Yongnian sighed: "As the commander-in-chief, how could he be so foolish as to collude with the Japanese? What's his purpose?"
Xie Yuncheng sneered: "Yeah, I also want to know what he wants..."
Changing the subject, his tone became leisurely again: "But it doesn't matter. He will be escorted back to the capital tomorrow morning, along with the things on him. When he is put in the Jinyiwei prison, we will know what he is up to."
Governor Yang Xu nodded helplessly. "If he's absolutely determined not to confess, then that's all we can do. The Imperial Guards will surely be able to pry him open... Ah, Lord Tao, what are you doing?"
Before Yang Xu could finish his words, Tao Yongnian beside him suddenly pulled him in front of him without any warning and held a dagger against his neck.
Yang Xu was so frightened that his face turned pale and he screamed.
Across from him, Xie Yuncheng suddenly narrowed his eyes and drew his sword: "Sir, what do you want?"
Tao Yongnian said indifferently, "I would like to see Lord Zhou Chenglu... I hope General Xie will be accommodating for the sake of Governor Yang."
Xie Yuncheng sneered: "You want to see him? Are you trying to silence him?"
Tao Yongnian said nothing. He slashed Yang Xu's neck with the dagger in his hand. Blood immediately gushed out. Yang Xu screamed and then shut up. His face was pale but he still had a strong will. "Don't pay attention to me. Kill this villain quickly."
Tao Yongnian smiled and said, "Sir, isn't it good to be alive?"
Yang Xu cursed angrily, "No wonder you were so eager to get me to the navy camp. It turns out you were just pretending to care about the situation, and you were really just trying to silence me... You're dreaming. This is a military camp. Do you think you can succeed?"
Tao Yongnian smiled and said, "Really? Has the Governor forgotten those people who just entered the camp with us?"
Yang Xu's expression froze with indifference.
At this moment, Xie Yuncheng suddenly took action without warning, and stabbed Tao Yongnian's arm holding the dagger with a sword.
Tao Yongnian pulled Yang Xu back a few steps. At the same time, the door of the room slammed open from the outside. Three almost invisible black shadows, like ghosts in the dark night, moved so fast that they almost left afterimages, and attacked Xie Yuncheng directly.
"Japanese Ninjutsu?"
Xie Yuncheng gritted his teeth and yelled, "Tao Yongnian, you are indeed collaborating with the Japanese!"
Tao Yongnian's expression was icy: "Let's talk about it after General Xie survives."
But at this moment, Zhou Chenglu's military advisor, whom he had not taken seriously, suddenly made a move...
Xiao Nanchen raised his hand and slapped his waist, and a soft sword suddenly appeared in his hand. In an instant, the three ninjas realized something was wrong and turned around to attack him.
Xie Yuncheng had just been pushed to the extreme and was about to die under the sinister and treacherous long sword, but he was suddenly rescued.
Seeing that the three ninjas were actually attacking Xiao Nanchen together, Xie Yuncheng's breathing suddenly stopped, but then he saw that the three people who had forced him into a desperate situation in an instant were in a completely different situation in front of Xiao Nanchen.
Xiao Nanchen held a soft sword in his hand, but his horizontal and vertical strikes seemed to carry the force of thunder, sometimes the sword edge was sharp, and sometimes it was as sharp as a knife.
Those ninjas were known for their physical skills, but in front of Xiao Nanchen, those mysterious physical skills seemed to be ineffective.
Every move seemed to be foreseen and then blocked by the sword. Because both sides were moving too fast, it looked like the three of them were desperate and deliberately bumped into Xiao Nanchen's sword again and again.
Tao Yongnian was shocked: "Who are you?"
Blood splattered, and three ninjas were touched on the neck... Xiao Nanchen smiled faintly: "It's been a long time since I took action. It's rare for me to get some action. Thank you, Master Tao."
Tao Yongnian's face turned pale: "Then you may be thanking too early."
As soon as he finished speaking, several strange black shadows rushed in from outside the door again... The guards and followers that Tao Yongnian and Yang Xu brought with them when they entered the navy camp were all ninjas in disguise.
The situation here is serious, and the camp outside is also uneasy.
Qingnan and his men were guarding the south side of the cell where Zhou Chenglu was being held. Then they saw a line of officers approaching with warrants: "The Governor has arrived and wants to interrogate Zhou Chenglu. Please bring him out immediately."
"The Governor wants to interrogate me?" Qing Nan glanced at the warrant, then nodded and turned to walk into the cell. However, after taking a step, he turned around without any warning and slashed with a knife.
The man holding the hand was caught off guard and his body was almost split in half. He fell down with a scream, and several people behind him instantly turned into afterimages and attacked the cell.
Qingnan and the soldiers behind him brandished their swords and rushed forward.
Although His Highness had told him to guard the cell and not to get involved in any physical violence, he couldn't hold back when these damn bastards bullied him.
As a result, after a brief encounter, Qing Nan realized why his prince didn't let him take action... They were not on the same level at all.
Without even seeing how the other party moved, Qing Nan only saw a sword stabbing towards his heart.
In a flash, several more figures came forward from the side, and the ninja who was full of murderous intent just now was immediately suppressed.
One of them said in a hoarse voice: "Are you... Changning Guards?"
Before he could finish his words, a rapier pierced his throat.
The ninja fell down and twitched, his heart filled with shock and confusion.
He had seen such skills once before. This was definitely an assassin from the Changning Guard's secret department beside Prince Ding, but... wasn't Prince Ding already dead?
Shouldn't the Changning Guards have already died for their master or remained silent? How could it be... Wait, their information is wrong. Prince Ding...
The ninja died with his eyes open, but no news of him could be spread out.
