Chapter 1040: The Genuine Overseer
"Lu Chenglong, shut up, Ben Shuai knows that you have an old relationship with Ji Ning, and now you are helping a rebel speak, do you also want to rebel with him?"
Sikong Zun shouted.
"Sikong Zun, it's true that you are the general of the expedition to the north, but there are some things that you can't talk nonsense, General Lu is the deputy commander of the imperial city battalion, even if he is the emperor, he also trusts him, do you want to cause internal strife?"
Feng Qingyan also spoke.
"Feng Qingyan, just be your deputy marshal, who does my Sikong Zun want to teach a lesson, it's not your turn to interject. ”
"The Electric Light Demon King is really a big breath, is this to make chaos within our Divine Phoenix Empire, and then let your True Demon Empire take advantage of it?"
Suddenly, Ling Xiao, who had not opened his mouth, spoke.
Ling Xiao knew very well that it was useless to reason with Sikong Zun, an old dog, he could only poke at his shortcomings and make him dare not mess around.
Whether it is Lu Chenglong or Feng Qingyan, they are too upright, and their words are not to the point at all.
But when Ling Xiao said this, all the soldiers couldn't help but talk about it.
"Shut up! You are just a little centurion, what qualifications do you have to speak in front of this commander, it is simply presumptuous!"
Sikong Zun shouted.
As a centurion, of course I'm not qualified to talk to you, but I have a secret decree here, which comes from the Prince of the Hidden Mountain. ”
Ling Xiao said lightly: "On the order of the prince of Yinshan Mountain, this time I will serve as the overseer to coordinate the relationship between the Northern Desert Army and the Conquest Army, and the emperor also agreed, and the emperor stamped the emperor's seal on it, may I ask General Sikong, do I have this qualification?"
He never took out this secret decree, he just wanted to wait for the best time.
Now is clearly the best time to do so.
What the!
Sikong Zun, Lu Chenglong, and Feng Qingyan all took the secret decree and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, there was the emperor's imperial seal and Fengyin Mountain's prince's seal.
This cannot be faked.
The position of Overseer can be big or small.
When I was young, I didn't have any power.
When it's big, you can directly suppress the coach.
Because he is directly responsible to the emperor.
Sikong Zun was shocked, knowing that the emperor didn't 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.
Such a cunning old thing, I thought it was just a puppet, but I didn't expect it to be so treacherous.
The rest of the soldiers were in awe of Ling Xiao at this time, but they didn't expect that this humble human being was actually an overseer sent by the emperor and the prince Fengyin Mountain, which was really amazing.
"Since you are an overseer, then Ji Ning refuses to open the city gate at this time, does he have no ghost in his heart?"
Sikong Zun asked with anger in his temper.
"Commander Sikong's words are wrong, what if an army comes casually, saying that he was sent by the imperial court, and wants to open the door, what if something happens?"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly: "In July 182 of the Shenhuang calendar, in the southern border, there were troops from small countries mixed into the empire, and then disguised themselves as imperial soldiers, mixed into the southern city, killed the city lord, and snatched what could be robbed in the city, this is a bloody lesson, did the commander of the sky turn a blind eye?"
"Then what do you say? The soldiers have worked hard all the way, and they can't stay under the red sun like this?"
Sikong Zun asked.
Feng Qingyan and Lu Chenglong also looked at Ling Xiao.
Because what Sikong Zun said is indeed the truth.
"Leave it to me. ”
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, these people still didn't know about the relationship between him and Ji Ning, if there was no such relationship, it would be impossible for the emperor to agree to Feng Yin Mountain's suggestion to let Ling Xiao serve as the overseer.
"I'll give it to you? hahahaha, Ji Ning doesn't give him face, what are you? Even if you are an overseer, but Ji Ning doesn't give the emperor face at all, let alone give you face!"
Sikong Zun said disdainfully.
"Not necessarily!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly, and then walked towards the Northern Desert City with Leng Mei and the others.
"Brother on the city tower listen, I'm Ling Xiao, I'm here to pay a visit to General Ji Ning, and I hope to open the city gate, thank you!"
In fact, the people on the city tower had already recognized Ling Xiao, but Ling Xiao didn't ask to enter the city, so they didn't say anything.
"It's Ling Gongzi, the one who saved the general that day!"
"The general said that when Ling Gongzi came to Beimo City, he should open the door immediately. ”
After a few people on the city tower discussed, they said: "Young Master Ling, you can come in, but those people can't, this matter is related to the safety of the people of Beimo City, and I hope Gongzi understands." ”
"Of course, we only had eleven people 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 conquest army stay outside all the time, after a long time, it would inevitably be considered a rebellion, and then he was afraid that someone would be able to target Ji Ning clearly.
"Wait a minute!"
Just as the city gate slowly opened and Ling Xiao and the others were about to enter, Sikong Zun suddenly shouted.
"What's the matter, Boss Sikong, is there anything else?"
Ling Xiao asked with a frown.
"You can go in, but the others have to stay here!"
Sikong Zun said coldly.
"What's the matter? You still want to keep hostages? Sikong Zun, you don't have the ability to let Ji Ning open the door, now I'm going to discuss with Ji Ning, not only do you not thank you, but you want to do this to me?"
Ling Xiao said coldly: "What if I don't want to?"
"Come, bow and arrow waiting!"
Sikong Zun shouted, ordered his archers to aim at Ling Xiao and the others, and said coldly: "Ling Xiao, don't embarrass Ben Shuai!"
Swish!
At that moment, on the top of the city tower, many bows and crossbows suddenly poked out, aiming at Sikong Zun and the archers under him.
"Brothers, what should we do if someone wants to kill the Overseers appointed and dismissed by the Emperor himself?"
Someone shouted from the tower.
"Protect the Overseers and shoot the rebels!"
The sound shook the sky, and 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 Ben Shuai?"
Sikong Zun was stunned for a moment and asked angrily.
"Can you not doubt it? Isn't it your purpose to shoot the Overseers today, stir up a conflict between the Northern Desert Army and the Conquering Army, and make the two sides kill each other?"
Feng Qingyan said coldly.
After Ling Xiao's reminder, he also learned to be smart, and his words were very loud.
Sikong Zun didn't have much prestige to speak of, and when he heard such words, those archers were a little hesitant.
"Hahaha, the deputy marshal thinks too much, how can Ben Shuai do that, but I'm afraid that the Overseer and the others will all go in, and it will not be good to be victimized by traitors, if he goes in alone, it will be safer. ”
Sikong Zun saw that he couldn't control the situation, and he 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 is really changing his face very quickly.
"Hmph, don't worry about the boss of Lao Sikong! Listen to the soldiers, this overseer army went in to discuss with General Ji Ning, if he knew the truth, he would definitely let us in, don't worry. ”
With a cold snort, Ling Xiao turned around and walked towards the Northern Desert City.
