Chapter 1096: The Traitor Succeeds
In the imperial city, notices were posted everywhere, on which portraits of Ji Ning and others were painted, including Ling Xiao, Ji Mingkong and Leng Mei.
Under the portraits of Ji Ning and other generals, there are many charges and execution time.
collaborating with the enemy and treason, improper command, killing tens of thousands of soldiers, attempting to sneak attack the general Sikong Zun, etc.
In short, any offence is a capital offense.
Under the portraits of Ling Xiao, Ji Mingkong and Leng Mei, there is a bounty for wanting, and the crime says that they are spies of the Black Crow Empire, and this defeat is their fault.
Due to the sluggishness of the news, coupled with the blockade of the royal family, the news that the Northern Desert City successfully defeated the army of the Black Crow Empire did not come.
So the people here know a completely different version of the news -
The Northern Desert Army was almost completely wiped out, and the Black Crow Empire was blocked by General Jia, so that the big problem was solved and the peace of the Shenhuang Empire was preserved.
In front of every posting, there was a lot of people talking about it.
"I didn't expect Ji Ning to be this kind of person, colluding with the Black Crow Empire and killing so many of our soldiers, it's not a pity to die!"
"Yes, Ling Chi should be executed!"
"And that Ling Xiao, who fled from the Heavenly Dragon Continent to our Divine Phoenix Empire, we gave him so many benefits, he actually ran away with the people of the Black Crow Empire, he is simply a shameless bastard!"
"Impossible, how could the general betray the empire, there must be a misunderstanding here. β
"Beat him, but dare to speak for that traitor, kill so many people, and even support him. β
In the entire imperial city, there is such an atmosphere now.
You have to insult Ji Ning, insult Ling Xiao, you have to lash out at them.
Otherwise, you will be in the same league as them, and you will be a treasonous bastard.
A slightly sane voice sounded, and it was quickly suppressed, and even those who made a sane voice would be beaten up and beaten half to death.
Now the atmosphere in the entire imperial city is the same-
Ji Ning, Ling Xiao and others are the great sinners of the empire, while General Jia and Sikong Zun are the heroes of the empire.
In the prison, Sikong Zun suddenly appeared, looked at Ji Ning, who had been tortured to the point of being inhuman, and said with a sneer: "Ji Ning, why bother, look at the scene outside, no one believes your innocence, and no one believes that Ling Xiao is going to hunt down and kill Gu Mo Zhiyan."
You are traitors, you are rebels, and I am the hero of the country, a lone hero who has fought out of the siege, hahahaha!"
"Phew, shameless!"
Li Ruguang scolded.
"Commander Li, don't be angry with this kind of person, he won't be proud for long, Ling Xiao won't die, he will definitely come back to avenge a few of us, Sikong Zun, you're scared, right?"
Zhuge Ming sneered.
"Scared?"
Sikong Zun said disdainfully: "From the Northern Desert to the Imperial City, there are our people checking all the way, even if Ling Xiao does not die, it is impossible for him to return to the Imperial City alive."
Take 10,000 steps back and say, he is a person with a bounty of more than 100 million spirit stones, do you think he will be able to survive after coming to the imperial city?"
Ji Ning took a deep breath, his voice was a little weak, but his eyes were still resolute: "Sikong Zun, before I die, I just want to ask, is this time your idea, or the emperor's?"
Sikong Zun smiled slightly: "Ji Ning, Ji Ning, you have also lived for such a long time, why are you still so naΓ―ve? Do you really think that with me, you can refer to a deer as a horse and reverse black and white?"
"Got it!"
A hideous smile suddenly appeared on Ji Ning's face: "Hahaha, hahahaha, in vain, I Ji Ning is loyal to the Divine Phoenix Empire and the Righteous Qi Alliance, but in the end, I will end up like this."
If I don't die, I will definitely make the people who plotted against me pay, definitely!"
"Okay, no need to shout, you don't have that chance anymore, whether a few of you admit guilt or not, the common people have already recognized your guilt, do you know how the emperor plans to execute you?"
Sikong Zun suddenly asked with a smile.
Without waiting for Ji Ning to say anything, Sikong Zun continued to his own thoughts: "The emperor has given all the people in the imperial city a right, that is, they can make a piece of meat on you alone, haha, yes, this kind of Ling Chi is just in line with your life." β
"Bastard!"
Li Ruguang roared angrily: "Are you still human, you actually torture a general who has made great contributions to the empire like this." β
"Scold, you won't have the strength to scold later, no need to interrogate, take a few of them to the execution ground now, His Majesty the Emperor said, these people have many henchmen, and something will inevitably happen, so they will be executed in advance!"
Sikong Zun sneered, turned around and walked out of the prison.
He was in a very happy mood.
On the city wall, there were three men.
One of them was in the army of Feng Ming, the commander of the Nine Gates of the Imperial City.
The other two are Jia Yun and Jia Lin, the city lord of the border city.
Jia Lin is Jia Yun's father, and he is also the one who led his troops to block the back road of the Northern Desert Army and captured Ji Ning and others to the imperial city.
"Father, I don't understand, didn't the emperor send you to hunt down those remnants of Ji Ning's defeated generals, why are you staying here?"
Jia Yun was wearing armor at this time, and he also had a bit of heroic spirit.
"Xiaoyun, you are still too tender, I led the army to chase after you, on the vast desert, it is difficult to find it at all, besides, even if you find it, what good is it to kill them?"
Jia Lin sneered: "But staying here is different, your father and I are now the commander of the imperial city battalion appointed by the emperor himself, but all the rebels who attack the imperial city will be dealt with by my father." β
"Father means that those guys will come to save Ji Ning?"
Jia Yun frowned and said, "It's impossible, father, it's too late for them to escape." β
"That's why you don't know those people, although those people won't come, but the remaining more than 30,000 Northern Desert troops will definitely come, their relationship with Ji Ning is too deep, as long as the people are confirmed to be safe, they will come to the imperial city immediately. β
Jia Lin said confidently.
"When they arrive, let's kill them all, so that it is not only fair, but also a great credit, don't you say that this is just waiting for work?"
A sneering expression appeared on Jia Lin's face.
Maybe he is not as good as Ji Ning in the war, but in terms of conspiracy, Ji Ning is definitely not his opponent.
"Gao! worthy of my father, this move is simply high, I really hope that Ling Xiao's kid can also appear, if he can kill Ling Xiao in front of everyone, it would be great. β
Jia Yun said with some excitement.
"He, hehe, he can't live, he can't survive in the face of Kuma Zhiyan, in the face of Timur Mutu, in the face of that feudal battle, and in the face of the scorpion and the lizard people, he can't survive at all!"
Jia Lin said disdainfully: "Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if he really survives, there are many ambushes arranged by his father and General Sikong Zun along the way, and he will definitely not survive the imperial city." β
