Chapter 241 (1/2)

When one did not have a breath or could not shut his eyes, it was the so-called dissatisfied death. Ning Que did not close Lin Ling's eyelids in the tent and did not feel anything heavy in his heart, and even quickly forgot this matter after leaving the tent.

He had killed too many people in his life and had seen too many dead bodies as well as many people with dissatisfied deaths. So he did not care about it at all. The deceased wanted to retaliate out of resentment? Then did not hesitate to come back as a ghost.

Ning Que never felt forgiveness for those who tried to kill him. As long as he was able to achieve his own goals, any vows or promises were worthless.

Previously he had not sworn by his own personality but by the Headmaster's. Naturally, it was because his personality was not as worthy as the Headmaster's. As for whether the Headmaster's personality would become bankrupt because of his behavior...

Anyway, the Headmaster did not know about it. Those who do not know anything cannot blame anyone else for it.

If others knew the truth about this matter, they might find it kind of immoral for Ning Que to do so. For instance, the Imperial Center Administration spy beside Ning Que at this time, who had a nervous expression on his face. No one knew what this spy was thinking.

This was because they did not know the nickname Ning Que had acquired in the City of Wei when he was a child -the immoral one.

Ning Que was such an immoral person. But as he left the frontier fortress with Sangsang to return to Chang'an City, the things they had experienced, grand or b.l.o.o.d.y or marvelous, didn't give him a chance to show his immorality.

The Horse Gang who had attacked the grain team and tried to a.s.sa.s.sinate him, and the remaining leaders and chiefs had all died out. The matter on the Tang Middle Military Camp had also been carried out very smoothly without any accident.

This cavalry belonged to the northeast Border Army. But General Shu Sheng was ordered by the Emperor to come here. Therefore, the vice general Xu Yin, the cavalry commander, who was suspected of covering up for the Horse Gang, had no reason for resistance but only held his hands up awaiting capture.

General Shu Cheng pointing out the ident.i.ty of Ning Que who had investigated the Horse Gang case, was naturally one of the important reason for suppressing the battalion soldiers. But the most important reason was the discipline of the Tang army. Though the Tang Northeast Border Army has been under the command of General Xia Hou for many years, it was still an imperial army, not Xia Hou's private army.

Today, the Tang Empire held great power and an all-encompa.s.sing heart. So the idea of allegiance to the Emperor has been deep in the minds of every proud soldier. Because of this, the people in Chang'an City never worried about any heresy showing up in the four border armies.

In the Middle Military Camp, Ning Que talked to General Ning Que about the previous situation, and then selected some records of the secrets Lin Ling had confessed. He asked some generals and private guards to write those records on a volume and send it back to Chang'an City.

That Imperial Center Administration spy has already returned to his own tent. Besides, a secret doc.u.ment would be delivered to the Nation Master through the Imperial Center Administration via a relevant channel and then be directly handed over to the imperial palace.

So Ning Que was not worried that the Horse Gang case would disappear. He was more worried about another thing at this time. -- Why did Xia Hou want to kill him? There wasn't sufficient reason to even if Lin Ling suspected that Ning Que had a connection with the censor's case and decided to act on his own. Ning Que was a core disciple of Headmaster of Academy. Even if Xia Hou was the Emperor's favored official, Xia Hou must take a great risk to kill Ning Que. If there was no motivation or incentive persuasive enough, why did Lin Ling bring trouble to his own master?

General Shu Cheng saw that Ning Que seemed to be in deep thought and a.s.sumed that Ning Que was thinking of something else. So he said softly, ”Although Lin Ling was a Psyche Master of the northeast Border Army, this matter may have nothing to do with the general. After all, there is only one confession and no record on the spot. Mr. Thirteen, I'm only responsible for reporting this matter to Chang'an.”

Ning Que laughed to show that he understood that even if he now had a very distinguished status, this kind of honor belonged to the Academy's Back Mountain rather than the secular world. In fact, it was kind of delusional to ask the imperial court to inquire a border general because of only one sentence.

Under the complicated gazes of the people in the Military camp, he walked out of Middle Military Camp and went to his own tent. Within a few steps, he saw a small figure running towards him outside a fence.

Cat Girl flushed slightly, waved her hand with a gasp and said, ”Senior Brother, your luggage is too heavy. I really can't move it. Do you want to take it yourself?”

Ning Que had originally wanted to move back to the Tang camp where all the Tang soldiers lived. After all, it was where his people were staying. But today he had killed a number of Horse Gangs disguised by the northeastern Border Army Inner Battalion and also caused the highest officer of this army be handcuffed. Although no one dared to show him the slightest disrespect or hostility, the complicated emotions in those eyes really made his headache.

”No need.”

He stretched his hand through the gaps in the fence and patted the little girl's head. Then he said with a smile, ”I'll go back to sleep at night.”

Cat Girl was overjoyed. She clapped her hands together and said, ”Great. Senior Sisters said you wouldn't come back.”
