Heavenly Tyrant Martial Soul

"Lv Chenglong, shut up. I know that you have an old relationship with Ji Ning. Now that you are speaking for a rebel, do you want to join him in rebellion?"

Sikong Zun shouted sharply.

"Sikong Zun, it is true that you are the General of Zhengbei, but there are some things you should not say nonsense. General Lu is the deputy commander of the Imperial City Camp. Even the emperor has great trust in him. You are trying to cause internal strife. ?"

Feng Qingyan also spoke.

"Feng Qingyan, just be your deputy commander. If I, Sikong Zun, want to teach someone a lesson, it's not your turn to interrupt."

"The Lightning Demon King is really arrogant. Does he want to cause chaos within our Divine Phoenix Empire, and then allow your True Demon Empire to take advantage of it?"

Suddenly, Ling Xiao, who had been silent until now, spoke.

Ling Xiao knew very well that it was useless to reason with an old dog like Sikong Zun. The only thing he could do was poke at his shortcomings and make him dare not act recklessly.

Whether it was Lu Chenglong or Feng Qingyan, they were both too upright and their words did not hit the point at all.

But what Ling Xiao said made all the soldiers talk about it.

"Shut up! You are just a little centurion. What qualifications do you have to speak in front of me? It's so presumptuous!"

Sikong Zun shouted.

"You are the one who is presumptuous! As a centurion, of course I am not qualified to talk to you, but I have a secret order here from the Crown Prince of Yinshan."

Ling Xiao said lightly: "According to the order of the Crown Prince of Yinshan, I will serve as the governor this time to coordinate the relationship between the Northern Desert Army and the Expeditionary Army. The Emperor also agreed and stamped the Emperor's seal on it. General Sikong, I Do you have this qualification?"

He never took out this secret decree, he just wanted to wait for the best time.

Now is obviously the best time.

What!

Sikong Zun, Lu Chenglong, and Feng Qingyan all took the secret edict and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, it was true, there was the imperial seal of the emperor and the prince's seal of Fengyin Mountain.

This cannot be faked.

The position of warlord can be big or small.

When I was little, I had no power whatsoever.

When he was big, he could directly suppress the coach.

Because he is directly responsible to the emperor.

Sikong Zun was shocked, knowing that the emperor did not completely trust him, and it seemed that he still planned to let him and Ji Ning restrain each other, so that no one could dominate.

What a cunning old thing. I thought he was just a puppet, but I didn't expect him to be so cunning.

The other soldiers were all in awe of Ling Xiao at this time. They didn't expect that this humble human being was actually the military governor sent by the Emperor and Crown Prince Feng Yinshan. This was really awesome.

"Since you are the governor, and Ji Ning refuses to open the city gate at this time, is there something wrong with him?"

Sikong Zun asked while suppressing his anger.

"Coach Sikong's words are wrong. What if an army comes randomly and says that it is sent by the imperial court to open the door? What if something goes wrong?"

Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said: "In July of the 182nd year of the Divine Phoenix Calendar, troops from a small country infiltrated into the empire in the southern border. Then they disguised themselves as soldiers of the empire, sneaked into the southern border city, killed the city lord, and robbed everything in the city. This is a bloody lesson, does Coach Sikong turn a blind eye?"

"Then what do you think we should do? The soldiers have worked hard all the way, why can't they just stay under the red sun and be exposed to the sun?"

Sikong Zun asked.

Feng Qingyan and Lu Chenglong also looked at Ling Xiao.

Because what Sikong Zun said is indeed true.

"give it to me."

Ling Xiao smiled slightly. These people didn't know the relationship between him and Ji Ning. Without this relationship, the emperor would not have agreed to Feng Yinshan's suggestion of letting Ling Xiao serve as the military governor.

"Leave it to you? Hahahaha, if Ji Ning doesn't give me my face, who do you think you are? Even if you are the warlord, Ji Ning won't give the Emperor any face, let alone you!"

Sikong Zun said disdainfully.

"That's not necessarily the case!"

Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and then led Leng Mei and others towards Beimo City.

"Brothers on the city tower, listen, I am Ling Xiao. I am here to pay a visit to General Ji Ning and hope to open the city gate. Thank you very much!"

In fact, the people on the city tower had long recognized Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao didn't ask to enter the city, so they didn't say anything.

"It's Mr. Ling, the man who saved the general that day!"

"The general said that when Mr. Ling comes to Beimo City, he wants to open the door immediately."

After some discussion among the people on the tower, they said: "Master Ling, you can come in, but those people can't. This matter is related to the safety of the people of Beimo City. I hope you understand."

"Of course, only eleven of us went in, and the rest were outside."

Ling Xiao smiled.

He had to go in and discuss this matter with Ji Ning. After all, he couldn't really let the expeditionary army stay outside all the time. If this happened for a long time, they would definitely be considered a rebel, and then someone might be able to openly target Ji Ning. .

"Wait a moment!"

Just when the city gate slowly opened and Ling Xiao and others were about to enter, Sikong Zun suddenly shouted.

"What's wrong, Coach Sikong? Is there anything else?"

Ling Xiao asked with a frown.

"You can go in, but everyone else has to stay here!"

Sikong Zun said coldly.

"What? You still want to keep a hostage? Sikong Zun, you don't have the ability to ask Ji Ning to open the door. Now I go to discuss with Ji Ning. Not only do you not thank me, but you also treat me like this?"

Ling Xiao said coldly: "What if I refuse?"

"Come on, bows and arrows will serve you!"

Sikong Zun shouted loudly, ordered his archers to aim at Ling Xiao and others, and said coldly: "Ling Xiao, don't embarrass me!"

Uh-huh!

At that moment, many crossbows suddenly appeared on the city tower, aiming at Sikong Zun and his archers.

"Brothers, someone wants to kill the governor who was personally appointed and dismissed by the emperor. What should we do?"

Someone shouted from the tower.

"Protect the Overseer and shoot the rebels!"

The sound was so loud that everyone below could hear it.

"Sikong Zun, are you really a spy sent by the True Demon Empire to harm our Divine Phoenix Empire?" Feng Qingyan suddenly asked coldly.

"Do you even doubt me?"

Sikong Zun was stunned for a moment and asked angrily.

"Can you not doubt it? You shot the governor today, provoked a conflict between the Northern Desert Army and the Expeditionary Army, and made both sides fight each other. Isn't this your purpose?"

Feng Qingyan said coldly.

After Ling Xiao's reminder, he also learned to be smart, and his voice was loud.

Sikong Zun didn't have much prestige to begin with. When he heard these words, the archers hesitated.

"Hahaha, the deputy commander is overthinking. Why would I do that? He is just afraid that if all the governor and others go in, it will be bad and they will be harmed by traitors. It will be safer if he goes in alone."

Sikong Zun saw that he could not control the situation and had offended Lu Chenglong and Feng Qingyan at the same time, so he could only give up the plan to attack Ling Xiao temporarily.

This guy's face changes really quickly.

"Hmph, don't worry about it now, Commander Sikong! Listen, officers and men, I am going in to discuss with General Ji Ning. If he knows the truth, he will definitely let us in. Don't worry."

With a cold snort, Ling Xiao turned back and walked towards Beimo City.
