Did the eldest daughter ascend the throne today?

Chapter 404: Ning 8 goes on a killing spree

As night falls, the bonfire burns brightly, making crackling sounds.

Ning Ba sat in front of the campfire, the firelight shining on his face, sometimes bright and sometimes dim.

The guard used a dagger to cut off a piece of roasted lamb and handed it to him with both hands. The roasted lamb was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and it smelled delicious. One bite filled your mouth with the aroma, without any smell of mutton.

Ning Ba ate silently, his lonely figure was extremely inconspicuous in the dark night.

Not far away, the generals in the army gathered in a circle, talking and laughing loudly, eating meat and drinking wine with big mouthfuls, and holding the charming camp prostitutes in their arms. When they were in the mood, they would touch them all over and be extremely dissolute.

Suddenly, a deputy general shouted, "General Black Hawk, come over and play with us."

Ning Ba raised his eyes slightly, his eyes calm, "No, you guys go ahead and play."

The emperor's arrangement this time is very special. All his deputies have fought against the Ning family army before, and the two sides have a blood feud.

General Zuo sneered, "Why are you being so pretentious? I hate hypocritical people like this the most. They are incompetent at everything. They just pretend to be noble."

The camp prostitute smiled sweetly and said, "General Black Hawk is quite capable, otherwise he wouldn't have become the commander of an army and led the army to attack the border of Yong Dynasty. If he hadn't been sick last time, he would have definitely taken over the northwest."

"That was just luck, it just happened." General Zuo's eyes were full of disdain. "He climbed up the ladder by relying on women's connections. If it weren't for Princess Ayu, he would be nothing."

He actually didn't want to confront Ning Zhiwei as his chances of winning were slim, so he kept finding excuses to delay time.

The right general also said loudly, "The king favors him too much, which is not a good thing."

The deputy general snorted coldly, "If he loses again this time, no one can save him."

They shouted loudly, as if afraid that Ning Ba couldn't hear them. The camp prostitutes looked at Black Hawk differently.

They had always felt that Ning Ba was blocking their way, and recently there had been frequent frictions and differences of opinion.

Ning Ba asked them to drop their heavy loads, march lightly and quickly, covering a hundred miles a day, so as to reach the battlefield as soon as possible.

However, these people have lived a life of luxury and could not endure such hardship. After one day, they could not bear it any longer and requested to split the troops into two groups. Black Hawk would lead the vanguard to march quickly and fight first, while these powerful people would lead the rear troops and march slowly behind, waiting to take advantage.

As soon as he said this, Black Hawk dragged him away and gave him ten beatings for disobeying military orders.

Since then, the conflict between the two sides broke out completely and intensified.

As a result, the army not only failed to advance a hundred miles a day, but also crawled at the speed of ants.

Ning Ba seemed not to hear it, and a faint cold light flashed in his eyes.

General Zuo hated his arrogant and disdainful expression the most. "Black Hawk, you don't really think the king values ​​you, do you? It's so funny. You are of a lowly origin..."

Ning Ba interrupted unexpectedly, "Are you saying that the king is using me?"

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured down on General Zuo, and he sobered up a little, "Uh, this..."

In fact, he didn't know Ning Ba's background either. He wore a mask all day and didn't know what he looked like.

However, the old-school elites and the new-school elites are natural rivals.

Ning Ba shouted coldly, "Tell me, how did the king use me? What did he want to achieve? You are not afraid to tell me, are you?"

General Zuo had drunk too much and was a little tipsy. He was provoked by him and said without caring about anything, "Of course I will use you to win the battle and then kill you..."

His mouth was covered, and the faces of other generals turned pale. If this matter were to be spread, what would the king think? What would the soldiers think? They hadn't even fought yet, and they were already killing the donkey after it had done its work. It would be disheartening for the generals.

"General Zuo, you are drunk. Someone, help General Zuo down to rest."

General Zuo didn't want to leave yet, and he took advantage of his drunkenness to make a scene, which made everyone very tired. In the end, he knocked someone unconscious and sent him back to the tent.

Ning Ba watched coldly from beginning to end, his eyes extremely indifferent.

The next morning, it was time to move camp. Everyone was waiting for General Zuo, but he never showed up.

Everyone looked unhappy. What trouble had he made?

Suddenly, General Zuo's personal guards stumbled in, terrified, "Oh no, oh no."

The right general was startled, "What's wrong?"

The guards turned pale with fear, "General Zuo is dead, a fatal blow to the heart."

It was like a bolt from the blue, everyone was stunned, dead? It was fine last night, outsiders could not enter this military camp.

The right general subconsciously looked at Ning Ba and accused loudly, "Black Hawk, you did it!"

Ning Ba's expression remained unchanged, "It wasn't me. I didn't leave the tent all night, and the guards can testify to that."

"But I know who it is."

He was too frank. The right general had a bad feeling in his heart, "Who is it?"

Ning Ba looked at these familiar faces. They had all appeared in his dreams before. They had killed countless Ning family soldiers and also killed his sixth uncle who loved him the most.

He was filled with anger, but he didn't show it on his face. "Think about it, who did he mention last night?"

The right general's face changed, "Your Majesty? Impossible, it's just a casual remark, is it necessary to take his life?"

Ning Ba said calmly, "The emperor's majesty cannot be violated, and...killing a chicken to scare the monkeys."

The right general's face changed drastically. What he said last night did offend the king.

Ning Ba looked at the right general's face. This man's hands were stained with the blood of the Ning family's army.

"Listen to my advice. The army has the king's eyes and ears. Be careful in what you say and do."

The right general was silent as a cicada and dared not say another word.

Others were too sensitive about General Zuo's death to dare mention it much. All the memorials they submitted only stated one sentence: he died of illness.

Could it be that Xie was killed by the king's spy? Let everyone know? Everyone is dead?

Late at night, Ning Ba looked at several wooden signs on the ground, each with a name written on it. He picked up the sign with General Zuo's name on it, took a look at it, and then threw it into the fire.

Watching the wooden sign being engulfed by flames and burning to ashes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, crazy and fanatical.

Whose turn is it next? He looked at the names on the other wooden signs, his eyes flickering.

A shadow appeared silently, "Eighth Master, the master's letter."

Ning Ba took the letter and started reading. Ning Zhiwei said in the letter that the southeastern front had been opened and the northwest front had to be ended early. She could not stay for long and planned to set the border between the two countries outside Mingzhou City. She asked to inform him of any plans.

He also said that if he needed help, he could ask the secret guards.

He hesitated for a moment, then quickly wrote a letter and said, "Send it to her."

"Yes."

When Ning Zhiwei received the letter sent by carrier pigeon, he couldn't help but sigh.

Xiao Linfeng was eating. Hearing the sigh, he looked up and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ning Zhiwei shook her head with a complicated expression, "Ning Ba entrusted his son to me. He must be going crazy. He wants to die together with me."

The style suddenly becomes so radical, what does it remind you of?

"Send a few secret guards over to grab the child at the critical moment."
