The Return of the Demon

Chapter 450 This Person Is Just a Fool

The journey from the capital to the southern border is long.

Along the way, even if the horses galloped, it took a full month to reach the southern border.

The majestic border fortress is like a giant dragon, spanning the mountains.

The southern border is not desolate, it is fertile with water and grass, and the grass is long and the birds are flying.

In addition to daily training, the soldiers will cultivate for two days to be self-sufficient.

Ning Chen saw thousands of acres of fertile fields.

Because the army is stationed here, it has gradually formed the scale of a town.

Tong Yuanzhou, the commander of the border, received the news and led people out of the camp to welcome.

Ning Chen ordered the army to stop.

He led Pan Yucheng and others forward.

Originally, Pan Yucheng was not allowed to come, but he left his bride and insisted on coming.

"Tong Yuanzhou, meet the Marquis!"

A group of generals bowed and saluted.

Ning Chen turned over and dismounted, stepped forward to help Tong Yuanzhou up, "General Tong, no need to be polite!"

At the same time, he took the opportunity to look at Tong Yuanzhou.

He was tall and strong, about forty years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows and tiger eyes, strong features, rough and dark skin, and a fierce aura.

Tong Yuanzhou looked at Ning Chen and marveled at his youth.

He was wearing golden armor and a long sword, with a slender figure and handsome features. He was a very majestic young man.

Although he was far away in the southern border, he was familiar with Ning Chen's name.

"My Lord, you have worked hard all the way, please!"

Ning Chen waved his hand and said, "General Tong, please excuse me for a moment!"

Tong Yuanzhou was stunned for a moment, then followed Ning Chen to the side.

"General Tong, please arrange my Ning'an Army to set up camp as close to the city gate as possible."

Tong Yuanzhou was a little unbelievable.

If this is the arrangement, the Ning'an Army will be the first to attack when the Nanyue army invades.

Ning'an Army, it is Ning Chen's personal army.

It is said that when fighting, Ning Chen always leads the troops.

It seems that his personal army is the same.

Tong Yuanzhou admired Ning Chen. Most people would let others take over, fearing that their own troops would be lost, but Ning Chen was different.

No wonder the powerful Tuo Luo Kingdom surrendered and Wu Kingdom negotiated.

"Yes, I obey your order!"

In fact, there was no need to discuss it. The imperial edict had been delivered a few days ago. The next war would be commanded by Ning Chen.

Ning Chen was the leader, and they were the assistants.

Tong Yuanzhou called his deputy general Zhang Tianhua, a strong young man in his thirties.

Ning Chen called Yuan Long and Lei An, gave them a few words, and then asked them to follow Zhang Tianhua to station.

He took Pan Yucheng and others to the camp to meet with other generals.

"General Tong, why didn't you see Wei Feng?"

Ning Chen asked casually on the way.

Tong Yuanzhou leaned forward and clasped his fists, "General Wei is waiting for you in the camp!"

Ning Chen smiled, "I heard that General Wei's methods are very powerful. He stabilized the situation in the southern border as soon as he came."

Tong Yuanzhou nodded, "General Wei is indeed very powerful. After coming here, he has won victory after victory in the battles with Nanyue."

Ning Chen smiled and said, "Daxuan is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. When General Wei was in the capital, I had never even heard of his name... When he came to the border, he was able to fight Kang Luo back and forth. It's really admirable."

Tong Yuanzhou looked lonely.

He has been guarding the southern border for more than ten years. In the past few years, he has suffered frequent defeats in the war. He is really ashamed to have failed His Majesty.

Ning Chen glanced at him and immediately guessed his thoughts.

"Before coming here, I talked about you with Your Majesty."

Tong Yuanzhou's body tensed up and he looked at Ning Chen sideways.

Ning Chen said: "General Tong is loyal to the emperor and loves his country. Although he has lost several battles...but His Majesty does not doubt your loyalty."

"Your Majesty, I will never repay you for your kindness."

How could Tong Yuanzhou not know this?

If it were an ordinary person, he would have been beheaded long ago after losing many battles.

As they were talking, a group of people came to the camp.

The tent in the center of the camp was the tent of the commander-in-chief.

Ning Chen entered the commander's camp.

After waiting for a while, it was announced that Wei Feng and other generals came to pay homage.

"Let them in!"

The curtain was opened, and more than a dozen people filed in.

The leader was a tall and thin man with protruding cheekbones and a shrewd face.

"Demon General Wei Feng, I pay my respects to the Marquis!"

"I pay my respects to the Marquis!"

A group of people saluted.

Ning Chen looked at the generals.

It seems that Wei Feng came here to win over many people, perhaps these people have long been the Fifth Prince's people.

His eyes fell on a man in an official robe. He was thin and had a goatee. His name was Fang Zhengqing, the military supervisor.

He didn't find out the details of this man. He didn't know whether he was loyal to the emperor or the fifth prince.

However, since he appeared with Wei Feng, he had to be cautious about his position.

"No need to be polite!"

Ning Chen raised his hand.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Wei Feng clasped his fists and said with a fake smile: "My lord, you must be tired after a long journey... I still have military affairs to attend to, so I won't disturb you to rest!"

Seeing this, the other generals said in unison: "I will take my leave!"

Tong Yuanzhou's face sank. Ning Chen was the commander-in-chief, but these people wanted to leave before he said a few words. It was too disrespectful. This was clearly a slap in Ning Chen's face.

This Wei Feng did have some skills, but he was too frivolous and did what he wanted. This was what he disliked the most.

Tong Yuanzhou looked at Ning Chen, but saw that Ning Chen looked calm.

Ning Chen smiled slightly and said, "I am indeed a little tired, you guys go and get busy."

Wei Feng and the others turned around and left without even saying hello.

Only the military supervisor Fang Zhengqing stood there.

Ning Chen looked at him, "General Fang, go get busy too."

Fang Zhengqing leaned over, "I'll take my leave!"

Ning Chen raised his lips slightly, and said with a smile, "This General Wei is really a character, but it's normal for capable people to have some character."

"General Tong, please get us some food."

Tong Yuanzhou leaned over, "Yes, Lord, wait a moment!"

The Lord was not angry at all when his face was rejected. He was really broad-minded. Tong Yuanzhou admired him a little.

After Tong Yuanzhou left, Feng Qi couldn't hold it in anymore and said angrily, "That guy named Wei Feng is too arrogant. It's fine if they don't kneel when they see you. They left without you saying a word. It's clear that they don't take you seriously."

"When you led the troops to fight, he was still eating and drinking in the capital? What the hell?"

"Ning Chen, nod... I'll beat him into a dog's brain."

Ning Chen was not angry at all, but smiled brightly.

When he came, he was still worried that this Wei Feng would bring him trouble?

But the moment he saw him, he was completely relieved.

This guy is a fool.

His little thoughts are all shown on his face. You don't even need to use your brain to deal with such a person.

He has investigated this Wei Feng.

This person is a little shrewd, but not smart. He is good at flattering the superiors and bullying the subordinates.

The reason why the fifth prince uses him is not because Wei Feng is very capable, but because of his identity.

Wei Feng's father had been in the South Border Camp. There are many of his old subordinates here. With this relationship, Wei Feng can help the fifth prince win the hearts of the people more quickly.

As for the several battles with Nanyue, Wei Feng won them all... It is probably Nanyue cooperating in the play.

A jumping clown, it doesn't take much effort to kill him.

The fifth prince can't completely trust such a fool. There must be someone behind this Wei Feng giving him advice.

Normal people can't do such a stupid thing as to refute the face of the commander-in-chief when they meet for the first time.

But Wei Feng should think he is very powerful, and he is complacent now, right?
