Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 268 The Mountain is Falling
"Oh, you guys are afraid of the lantern bearers in small places?"

Chen Ning'an felt a little unconvinced. Dingcheng was at best just a small city, and it was experimental in nature. How could it scare a prince?
"It may not matter in other places, but Dingcheng is very special. I have a royal brother...

The Fourth Prince suddenly stopped talking because the two of them had arrived at the gate of the Pacification Office.

At the door, an acquaintance was standing there early, smiling at them.

Chief of the Pacification Division, Wan Qing!
"Haha, I heard the magpie calling early in the morning, and wondered who it was. It turned out to be Mr. Chen Ning'an who destroyed Prince Chun's Mansion."

Wan Qing walked down to greet him: "Please come in, please come in!"

He glanced at the Fourth Prince and turned to lead the way.

No, why does it look familiar?

He turned his head and glanced at the Fourth Prince again, thinking that he might have seen him somewhere.

I just can't remember.

"Uncle Wan, long time no see."

It was the Fourth Prince who took the initiative to greet him, and his voice sounded even more familiar.

Wan Qing turned his head to look, the more he looked, the more familiar he looked. Why did he look a bit like Emperor Qin?

"You are……"

He was suddenly startled and thought of someone.

"You are the fourth prince, Ying Gou!"

Others may not be clear about the bloodline of the royal family, but his organization, which is directly under Emperor Qin, knows the bloodline of the royal family as clearly as it can be.

"Fourth Prince, didn't they say you were dead?"

Wan Qing just said this, and then he slapped himself in the face: "Look at what I said, please forgive me, Your Highness."

"Uncle Wan, don't be so polite. My father didn't make me a king. I'm just a commoner."

The fourth prince smiled slightly and said, "I happened to be a guest at Mr. Chen's residence. I heard that you were looking for him, so I came to see him."

This sentence surprised Chen Ning'an. Ying Gou was speaking for him, which implied that the Fourth Prince was supporting him.

This person is quite interesting.

Really? That's really lucky, I just happened to have some light wine.

Wan Qing walked in front, not nervous at all, and it seemed that he had no intention of attacking Chen Ningan.

He must have other purposes.

After bypassing the busy structure of the Pacification Office, the three of them came to a backyard where food and drinks had already been served.

These foods are different from those outside. There is one dish of fish, but the fish meat is pure black.

There was also a plate containing a slightly fluorescent mushroom.

Or it could be some kind of crustacean, the shell and meat have been separated and can be eaten with a fork.

"Wow, these are all good stuff! It seems I came to the right place!"

Ying Gou first pulled a stool for Chen Ningan, and then sat down himself, ready to start eating impatiently.

He explained: "This black gold crab is a product of the Kunlun Lantern Realm. After eating it, it can cure diseases and increase vitality. It is more nourishing than ginseng."

"This fluorescent mushroom is a very rare fungus in the west. It's hard to get it because of the bad situation in Xinqin recently."

"And this Huoqing and this Black Dragon Fish, Uncle Wan, are you spending a lot of money on this?"

He estimated the price of the table to Chen Ningan: "At least, it will be thirteen figures or more."

Compared with the dishes on the table, the old wine that had been buried and fermented for decades seemed a bit inferior.

Upon hearing this, Wan Qing, the head of the Pacification Division, just smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. Chen is a lantern bearer who is similar to the night watchman. If I bring ordinary food, it will definitely not be to your taste, so I put a little effort into it."

He motioned Chen Ning'an to pick up his chopsticks: "Mr. Chen, you must try something that is good for your health!"

Chen Ning'an glanced at him. Wan Qing wanted to ask him for something.

He picked up a piece of fish with his chopsticks, but the nausea he had imagined did not come. Instead, a rich energy and blood exploded in his mouth.

This taste...

His eyebrows raised slightly. The taste was almost the same as the big black carp from Yadong Reservoir.

"I once handled a half-lantern creature called a green man. Your black fish tastes pretty good."

His words made Wan Qing look slightly surprised.

"Mr. Chen, what did you taste? I asked Princess Wu specifically and I know your preferences."

Wan Qing laughed: "Does it suit your taste?"

"combine."

Chen Ningan nodded affirmatively: "But don't use this thing next time. I haven't changed my attitude that much. It was something I lacked before, but now."

He tapped his brows, and the lead flowers looked particularly beautiful.

"There is no shortage."

"Sorry, you don't like it." Wan Qing picked up the plate and threw it into the pool. There was a splash in the pool. The black fish grew bigger and bigger, grew limbs, and soon took on an outline.

"Tell me, what does the Master want to see me about?"

Chen Ningan put down his chopsticks and said, "Since you have asked Ying Wuyi about my preferences, you should know that I don't like to beat around the bush."

“Haha, but I didn’t expect Mr. Chen to be so straightforward.”

Wan Qing picked up the wine glass and said, "I originally wanted to apologize to you. Before, due to my friendship with Chun Busheng, I had some conflicts with you and I hope we can resolve them."

What the young man in front of him did recently was too scary. He destroyed Prince Chun's Mansion at will, and even they had to shut down the Death Lamp Realm, but it was directly solved by Chen Ning'an.

This record gave him the power to be on par with the Wang Mansion.

In response to this, Chen Ning'an remained noncommittal, as he knew Wan Qing had more to say.

"Actually, I have another benefit. I hope Mr. Chen can listen to it."

Chen Ning'an frowned and suppressed the urge to kill the head of the Pacification Division with a single sword.

"Just put it bluntly. If I agree, I agree. If I don't agree, I don't agree."

Wan Qing nodded hurriedly: "It's like this, I want you to kill someone."

"Who?"

Since Chen Ning'an didn't refuse, there is a chance.

"The sixteenth princess has been married for five years. She just came back from Galasha."

"cough!"

Ying Gou coughed out a mouthful of wine and stared at Wan Qing in disbelief.

"Uncle Wan, I'm still here. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say that?"

Openly discussing killing his sister?
He thought Chen Ning'an was direct enough, but he didn't expect Wan Qing to be even more direct.

"There is no need to hide this from the Fourth Prince, because... this was granted by that person."

He pointed towards the sky above the imperial palace, his meaning was self-evident.

"My father?"

Ying Gu's expression changed: "Why did he want to kill Fourteenth Sister?"

The new Qin royal family, Emperor Qin Ying Duwu, had more than thirty princes and nearly a hundred princesses.

It may seem like a lot, but they are after all my own flesh and blood. How can I kill them just because I want to?
"I don't know, my subordinate."

Wan Qing shook his head: "I was ordered to invite Mr. Chen. After accepting the task, Mr. Chen can ask for anything he wants or want to do."

His words proved the Qin Emperor's tolerance.

It also proves that Emperor Qin was determined to kill the Fourteenth Princess.

"Okay, I agree."

Chen Ningan didn't think much of it. He looked at Wan Qing and said, "I also have a condition. You need to help me find a material."

"Mr. Chen, please speak."

Wan Qing smiled. He didn't expect that he would agree so readily. Things went unexpectedly smoothly.

"Help me find a material that can bear nightmare-level power. It can be wood, cloth, stone, plastic, metal, etc. But I have a requirement. It must be rectangular and at least 58x33mm."

Any smaller and it won’t work.

Generally, the size of talisman paper is based on the auspicious number of meters, but in this world, it is really difficult to find meters, so the requirements for the specifications of his talisman paper are not strict.

"This...is actually not that difficult."

Wan Qing hesitated: "If you let me find it, it will only take a few days, but if you need it urgently, Mr. Chen, maybe you can find someone who has ready-made materials."

"Who?" Chen Ning'an stood up and asked, apparently he was about to leave immediately.

"Professor Feng."

As soon as he said these three words, he suddenly understood.

"That's right, he is studying new styles."

The new streams are all nightmare forces, packed into a suitcase, and Professor Feng is definitely the best at materials.

"Wait, Mr. Chen, didn't you just catch all of Professor Feng's new streams? Is it appropriate to go and look for him now?"

Ying Gou raised a question at the right time: "We might not be welcomed if we go there."

"Does this require my help?"

Chen Ningan looked at Wan Qing and said, "Give me a Lantern Man online identity and the position of the Fourteenth Princess. If she dies within three days, you give me what I want."

Killing a princess in three days, others will think it is arrogant.

But this is what Chen Ningan said, his words are the greatest authority, and he has the qualifications to say such things.

"it is good!"

Wan Qing nodded, glanced at the fourth prince Ying Gou, and sighed.

The Qin Emperor wanted to kill his daughter, and Ying Gou, who was also the emperor's son, could not help but feel sad.

Although the princes and princesses were not familiar with each other, most of them were born to powerful and noble families, and they were a kind of "stabilizing stone" of their status to prevent their enemies from finding an opportunity to overthrow them.

The Fourteenth Princess married far away in a foreign country, and now she is returning but is dying. It seems that there is a problem with the power behind her.

…………

Outside the imperial capital, a convoy escorted the princess in the middle back to the capital.

The fourteenth princess, Ying Menghua, is of noble status and is the granddaughter of a vassal king.

She was the most noble among the noble, but now there was no dignity at all in her, only embarrassment.

"Faster! Faster!"

There was no trace of blood on Ying Menghua's face, and there was a huge fear in her eyes that could not be shaken off no matter what.

"The mountain is about to fall, it's about to fall..."

She murmured, recalling the horror she felt before escaping death.

Although Galasha is a small country, it is definitely not weak compared to the surrounding countries, because it has the support of the New Qin behind it, and even has a vague idea of ​​ruling the Zhou State.

But... after that day came, everything changed.

The whole of Galasha saw the landslide. From the mountains, they saw things that could never be covered up in a lifetime. A thriving country was destroyed overnight.

"Everyone is dead, all dead..."

Ying Meng's nails dug deep into the flesh, as if this could help her calm down a little.

"boom!"

Suddenly, without any warning, a huge explosion was heard from behind the convoy. It turned out that a car exploded for no reason while driving.

"He's coming!"

Ying Menghua screamed, "Quick! Come to Beijing!"

If they don't enter Xianyang Capital, they will all die. Only Xianyang Capital can protect them!
"Princess, sit tight."

The driver was also panicking, but he forced himself to remain calm. If the princess survived, they might die, but if the princess died, they would definitely die!
There is absolutely no possibility of survival.

"boom!"

The second car also exploded with a loud squeak and rolled off the highway.

Following closely behind is the third car.

"Damn it, tell the people in front to slow down!"

The driver's eyes showed indifference and he gave the order directly.

"Everyone in front, go behind the princess' car!"

When this order was given, everyone knew that human lives would be lost.

"After you die, the princess can ensure that your children and parents will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. For those who are the only child in the family, we can arrange for cloning technology and artificial embryo culture technology to ensure that you don't have to worry about your future."

The vehicles in front slowed down one by one, so they had to do this.

Even if you don't want to die, you will still die if you disobey orders and someone will hold you accountable.

"boom!"

There was another explosion, but luckily, they had already seen the toll booth in Xianyangjing.

"I'll contact them."

The co-driver in the car asked the toll station to clear other vehicles in advance, open the blockade, and identify himself.

"boom!"

At the moment when the last car exploded, they barely entered the capital of Xianyang.

"Princess, we're home."

The co-pilot breathed a sigh of relief: "We have arrived at Xianyangjing, we are safe."

"Yeah, it's safe."

Ying Menghua's pale face regained a little color, and she was going to continue moving forward, but the next second.

"boom!"

The thunder fell from a high altitude and crushed the vehicle in the blink of an eye.

Huge deep pits were blasted out on the ground.

"Boom!"

The second sound was the sound of a vehicle exploding, and fragments rushed out with it, scattering far away on the road like flowers from heaven.

In the thunder, a pair of eyes glanced coldly at the scene, as if checking if there was anyone alive.

"Not dead yet."

The owner of the eyes sighed, and walked out of the realm of lights into the present world.

It’s Chen Ningan.

It was originally said to take three days, but the Zhenfu Division had records of Ying Menghua's whereabouts, so he wouldn't need that long.

At this time, a fire was spreading and burning in the ruins of the vehicle, but Ying Menghua was unharmed, and two swallows were circling around her.

All the flames could not get close, and the previous thunder talisman was also blocked by these two swallows.

"Who dares to attack this princess in Xianyang?"

Ying Menghua's voice turned cold: "You are courting death."

"I knew that the princess wouldn't be so easy to kill."

Chen Ning'an sighed and floated towards her in the void.

"trouble."

As soon as these two words came out, the other person disappeared, and the next second he suddenly appeared behind Ying Menghua.

"die."

The sword flashed and slashed fiercely at the swallow that was protecting it.

The swallow's wailing was cut off directly.

"Second brother's sword?"

Ying Menghua looked a little dazed, "Second brother asked you to kill me?"

How can this be?

"Someone else is going to kill you." Chen Ning'an told her, "You can die now."

The dagger fell, and the second swallow also died. Ying Menghua's protective items were removed, and she shouted in fear: "Wait a minute, I can't die, I have something to say..."

The words stopped, and she was nailed to death.

Chen Ning'an calmly put away his things. The Fourteenth Princess was not as capable as Ying Qiongyu.

However, it may also be because something unexpected happened abroad and the backup plan was exhausted.
