Ning Chen turned to Lei An and told him to have the Ning'an Army set up camp.
"Yuan Long, go find some craftsmen in the city and get the gate repaired."
"Yes, sir!"
Yuan Long went off to do it.
Only then did Ning Chen turn his attention to Liao Xingwen. "I need you to do something for me. Find me someone who speaks Tuoluo."
Liao Xingwen blinked. "My lord prince, this officer speaks it!"
Ning Chen was a little surprised. You really couldn't judge a man by his looks. Who'd have thought a rough fellow like this had that kind of skill?
"Good. Then when I question the King of the Right Court later, you can interpret for me."
"Yes, sir!" Liao Xingwen hesitated a moment. "My lord prince, how is General Liang?"
Ning Chen nodded. "He's doing fine. In a while I'll send word telling him to come back and take command of you again."
Since arriving in Xuanwu City, Liang Jingwu had been training new recruits.
A thrilled smile spread across Liao Xingwen's face.
"My lord prince, there's someone this officer wants to arrest."
"Who?"
"Zang Wu. He's Lin Changsheng's deputy... That animal actually rounded up women and children and gave them to the King of the Right Court for food."
Ning Chen's face went dark. "Arrest him now and hold him for me."
"Yes, sir!"
Once the army had made camp, Ning Chen had the King of the Right Court and Lin Changsheng brought to his tent for questioning.
He sat behind a low table and looked at the two of them.
One was kneeling. The other was lying face down.
The musket shots had broken both of the King of the Right Court's legs, so he couldn't kneel.
Ning Chen began with him.
He turned to Liao Xingwen. "Ask him why he sat outside Beilin Pass for so long, surrounding it but never attacking."
With Lin Changsheng in charge, breaking through the gate shouldn't have been hard for the King of the Right Court... Yet he had never once attacked the city. It made no…
