Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 1040
"Shut up, Lu Chenglong, I know you have an old relationship with Ji Ning, and now you are speaking for a rebel, do you want to rebel with him?"

Sikong Zun shouted sharply.

"Sikong Zun, you are the Great General of Zhengbei, but there are some things you can't say nonsense. General Lu is the deputy commander of the Imperial City Battalion. Even if you are an emperor, you have a lot of trust in him. You are trying to cause internal strife. ?"

Feng Qingyan also spoke.

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

"The Electro-Optical Demon King really speaks loudly. Is he trying to cause chaos within the Divine Phoenix Empire, and then allow your True Demon Empire to take advantage of it?"

Suddenly, Ling Xiao, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

Ling Xiao knew very well that it was useless to reason with the old dog Sikong Zun, he could only poke at his weaknesses so that he would not dare to mess around.

Whether it was Lu Chenglong or Feng Qingyan, they were too upright, and they missed the point at all.

But when Ling Xiao said these words, all the soldiers couldn't help talking about them.

"Shut up! You're just a little centurion, what right do you have to speak in front of this commander? It's just presumptuous!"

Sikong Zun roared.

"It's you who are presumptuous! As a centurion, I am of course not qualified to talk to you, but I have a secret decree from the prince of Yinshan."

Ling Xiao said lightly: "According to the order of the Crown Prince of Yinshan Mountain, this time I will take up the post of military governor to coordinate the relationship between the Beimo Army and the conscript army, and the emperor also agreed, and stamped the emperor's seal on it. May I ask General Sikong, can I Do you have the qualifications?"

He never showed this secret decree, he just wanted to wait for the best opportunity.

Now is obviously the best time.

what!
Sikongzun, Lu Chenglong, and Feng Qingyan all took the secret decree and looked at it carefully. Sure enough, there was the emperor's seal and Fengyin Mountain's seal.

This cannot be faked.

The position of warlord can be big or small.

When I was young, 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 startled, knowing that the emperor didn't completely trust him, and it seemed that he and Ji Ning were planning to restrict each other so that no one could dominate.

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

The rest of the soldiers were all in awe of Ling Xiao at this time. They didn't expect this humble human being to be the warlord sent by the emperor and the prince Feng Yinshan. This is really amazing.

"Since you are the warlord, then Jining refuses to open the city gate at this time. Could it be that he has no ghosts in his heart?"

Sikong Zun suppressed his anger and asked.

"Commander Sikong's words are wrong. If a random army comes here, saying that he was sent by the imperial court, and wants to let the door open, what should we do if something goes wrong?"

Ling Xiao smiled lightly and said, "In July 182 of the Divine Phoenix Calendar, in the southern border, troops from small countries mixed into the empire, and then disguised as soldiers from the empire, sneaked into the southern border city, killed the city owner, and robbed all the people in the city. This is a bloody lesson, can Commander Sikong turn a blind eye to it?"

"Then what do you say? The soldiers have worked so hard all the way, can't they just stay in 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 still don't know the relationship between him and Ji Ning, if there is no such relationship, it is impossible for the emperor to agree to Feng Yinshan's suggestion of making Ling Xiao the military governor.

"Leave it to you? Hahahaha, Jining doesn't even give me face, what are you? Even if you are the warlord, Jining doesn't give the emperor any face at all, let alone you!"

Sikong Zun said disdainfully.

"Not necessarily!"

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

"Brothers on the tower, listen up. I'm Ling Xiao. I'm here to pay a visit to General Jining and hope to open the city gate. Thank you!"

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

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

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

After discussing with the people on the tower, they said, "Young Master Ling, you can come in, but those people are not allowed. This matter concerns the safety of the people of Beimo City, and I hope you will understand."

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

Ling Xiao smiled.

He has to go in and discuss this matter with Ji Ning. After all, he can't really let the conscript army stay outside. If this goes on for a long time, it will definitely be considered a rebellion. At that time, I'm afraid someone will be able to openly target Ji Ning up.

"Wait a moment!"

Just as the city gate was slowly opening and Ling Xiao and the others were about to enter, Sikong Zun suddenly shouted.

"What's the matter, Coach Sikong, is there anything else?"

Ling Xiao asked with a frown.

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

Sikong Zun said coldly.

"What? You still want to keep hostages? Sikong Zun, you don't have the ability to ask Ji Ning to open the door. Now I'm going 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, bow and arrow serve!"

Sikong Zun shouted, ordered his archers to aim at Ling Xiao and the others, and said coldly: "Ling Xiao, don't make things difficult for me!"

Swish!
At that moment, many bows and crossbows suddenly protruded from the tower, aiming at Sikong Zun and his archers.

"Brothers, someone wants to kill the warlord who was personally appointed by the emperor, what should we do?"

Someone shouted from the tower.

"Protect the Overseer, 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.

"Even you doubt me handsome?"

Sikong Zun froze for a moment, and asked angrily.

"Can you not doubt it? You shot and killed the warlord today, provoked the conflict between the Beimo army and the conquering army, and let the two sides kill each other. Isn't this your purpose?"

Feng Qingyan said coldly.

After Ling Xiao's reminder, he also learned to be smart, and these words were loud.

Sikong Zun didn't have much prestige in the first place, but when he heard such words, those archers hesitated.

"Hahaha, the deputy commander thought too much. How could this commander do that? I'm just afraid that the warlord and others will all go in, and it would be bad if he is killed by a traitor. If he goes in alone, it will be safer."

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

This guy changed his face really quickly.

"Hmph, don't worry about it, Commander Sikong! All the soldiers, listen up. This warlord will go in and discuss with General Jining. If he knows the truth, he will definitely let us in. Don't worry."

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