Chapter 228 - 228 A Long Talk
228 A Long Talk
The two almost identical questions were thrown back at Ning Chen.
Ning Chen lowered his head, not knowing how to explain it to Old Master Ning.
Then, Old Master Ning sighed heavily. “Ning Chen, do you live like this every day at the border?”
“I…” Ning Chen wanted to say something, but when he saw Old Master Ning’s worried face, he couldn’t say anything.
“I’m not blaming you for implicating us. I’m not saying you’re implicating us. I mean, do you live like this every day? You have to fight and kill like this every day. Our entire family will be worried about you.”
He wanted to tell Ning Chen that if he did this every day, he could go home. Home was the best haven for him.
However, he did not dare to say this!
Ning Chen had been very interested in the military and fighting since he was young. He had never interfered with his interests and let Ning Chen develop on his own.
Ning Chen had already become a junior general. If he called Ning Chen home, Ning Chen’s efforts would be in vain.
“Father, I know. Everything will be fine after we pacify the Black City Kingdom,” Ning Chen said.
Some things were already confidential. At most, he could tell Old Master Ning that these people were related to the Black City Kingdom.
Old Master Ning was someone who had traveled extensively. He knew what Ning Chen meant and did not ask further.
He sighed and said to Ning Chen, “I’m not asking you to become rich. I just want you to be safe and sound. You have parents, a wife, children, and this family. Nothing can happen to you.”
“Father, it’s my fault for being unfilial. I’ve made you worry at such a young age.” Ning Chen blamed himself.
Before he returned, he had already arranged for someone to deal with these things. Perhaps he had not done anything right yet. It was his fault for letting these assassins follow him to Laifu Village.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already arranged for people to be around Laifu Village. These bad people won’t come in again.” Jiang Ying interrupted at the side.
Ning Chen looked at Jiang Ying gratefully, who smiled back.
“Alright, let’s not talk so much. Everyone has something to do tomorrow. Go and rest.” Old Master Ning waved his hand and stood up to leave.
Before today, he had been smug when he found out that his son had become a junior general. But now, he knew that Ning Chen’s title had been exchanged with his life. He felt terrible.
After Old Master Ning, the eldest son of the Ning family, the third son, and Ning Guang left with their wives. Only Jiang Ying, Ning Chen, and Ning Yue were left.
“Second Uncle, are these people really from the Black City Kingdom?” Ning Yue asked.
“Yes, only the people of the Black City Kingdom will assassinate me,” Ning Chen replied.
Ning Yue frowned tightly. Although she did not have a good impression of the emperor of the Black City Kingdom, she did not believe that the person who assassinated Ning Chen tonight was from the Black City Kingdom.
This was because it was unrealistic to send assassins from the Black City Kingdom to the Great Yun Nation.
Putting aside the problem of the journey, even if these ten killers knew how to disguise themselves, ten strangers appearing on the streets would attract attention.
Laifu Village was Jiang Ying’s base camp. Jiang Ying would definitely know if ten strangers suddenly appeared.
Therefore, Ning Yue and Jiang Ying did not believe that these ten men in black were from the Black City Kingdom.
Ning Yue said her thoughts. She thought that Ning Chen would be a little surprised, but who knew that he was not surprised at all?
Ning Yue realized that she could not understand this Second Uncle.
Although he was a general, he had to be careful. He definitely knew where the men in black came from.
Therefore, the only explanation was that Ning Chen knew where the men in black came from but refused to tell them!
Ning Yue and Jiang Ying looked at each other and understood each other’s thoughts.
“Second Uncle, that’s all for tonight. Let’s go rest first,” Ning Yue said.
Ning Chen nodded and returned to his room in silence.
“Jiang Ying, I’ll have to trouble you with another thing.” Ning Yue smiled bitterly.
“We’re family. What trouble? Your business is my business. I’ll get Ah Da to investigate now!” Jiang Ying said.
The next day, Jiang Ying’s investigation came to an end. When he saw Ah Da’s letter, his expression changed instantly.
