"That's impossible!"
Sikong Zun roared.
"Nothing is impossible. That day when we defeated the Black Crow Army and returned to the Northern Desert City, it was Jia Lin and Jia Yun who led the army to block our retreat and put us in danger. You said they didn't betray us, so why did they do that? Was it you who gave the order? "
Ling Xiao asked loudly.
"How could it be me who gave the order? I didn't know about this at all."
Sikong Zun hurriedly cleared his name.
"Since that's the case, I killed the traitors and helped the Emperor get rid of a disaster. How can you say that I'm guilty? Did you become the Great General of the Black Crow Empire?"
Ling Xiao's words hit the heart, making Sikong Zun unable to retort.
Although he was very angry, he had always been very restrained.
Especially when he took action at the city gate, he didn't let the Northern Desert army get involved, and when he came to the square, he didn't let the Northern Desert army do anything either.
His purpose in doing so was to not leave any evidence for others to use. This way, he would be able to use his glib tongue to make Sikong Zun speechless.
"Fine, even if you're right, how do you explain robbing the execution ground and killing Ji Zhangran, Wan Qiufeng, and the many soldiers who supervised the execution? This is also a capital offense, don't you know? "
Sikong Zun asked again.
"Robbing the execution ground?"
Ling Xiao said indifferently: "Ji Ning and the others are not only innocent, but also meritorious. They were framed by a traitor like you and set up a private execution ground. I only saved the Divine Phoenix Empire's meritorious officials. Do you think I'm guilty for doing this?"
Traitor?
Ling Xiao actually called Sikong Zun a traitor in front of so many people again, and Sikong Zun didn't have any words to refute.
"What, old dog Sikong, you're still not convinced?"
Ling Xiao looked coldly at Sikong Zun and questioned in front of everyone: "You said I was a traitor, you said I was a sinner. Now I've explained it clearly.
Then may I ask General Sikong, how do you explain the numerous crimes you have committed?
I think both the Celestial Emperor and the people of the Imperial City want to know the truth! "
"Ling Xiao, even if you have a glib tongue, I, Sikong Zun, am an upright man who is loyal to his country and has never committed any crimes!
You accuse me of framing Ji Ning, but you have no evidence!
You said that I sent people to kill you halfway, but you still have no evidence!
You said that I abandoned the army and fled back to the Imperial City, but the truth is that you and the rebels in the Northern Desert City tried to kill me. I couldn't fight against so many rebels by myself, so I could only return to the Imperial City to ask for help! "
Sikong Zun believed that Tomohiko Kuma would not betray him, so even if Ling Xiao captured Tomohiko Kuma alive, it would be useless.
That was why he dared to treat the lie as the truth.
"Haha, I knew that you, Old Dog Sikong, would not admit it."
Ling Xiao sneered. "But I have told you more than once that when I returned to the Imperial City, I dared to accuse you of being a rebel because I have evidence!"
"Evidence? Show me what evidence you have. Don't always speak without thinking. I am the Imperial General, not someone you can slander! If you can't show me evidence today, then you will die! "
Sikong Zun really wanted to slap Ling Xiao to death, but when he saw the Moon Lady standing beside Ling Xiao, he did not dare to move.
"You want evidence? That's easy."
Ling Xiao sneered, then grabbed Tomohiko Kuma's head.
"What are you doing? Tomohiko Kuma is the only witness. Are you going to kill him?"
Sikong Zun roared.
"What? General Sikong wants him to speak? "
Ling Xiao asked.
"Only Tomohiko Kuma knows who colluded with the Black Crow Empire. Since the Emperor is present, then let Tomohiko Kuma speak. I am not afraid of a crooked shadow!"
Sikong Zun said with a smile.
"Alright, in that case, ask away."
Ling Xiao tapped Tomohiko Kuma's body, waking Tomohiko Kuma from his coma.
"Tomohiko Kuma, as the Little Duke of the Black Crow Empire, have you ever colluded with Ji Ning to harm me?"
Sikong Zun asked loudly.
His voice was very loud. Everyone in the square, and even the entire imperial city, heard him clearly.
Tomohiko Kuma gritted his teeth and said, "That's right. We discussed with Ji Ning to kill Sikong Zun, then instigate an internal conflict between Northern Desert Pass and Northern Desert City, so that we can capture Northern Desert City in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that Ji Ning is useless. He was actually injured by Sikong Zun's poisoned arrows. Then we encountered the evildoer Ling Xiao, who is proficient in the art of war, and defeated our army.
I hate him to death! "
His words were really beautiful.
Because he couldn't frame Ling Xiao, he might as well portray Ling Xiao as the hero of Divine Phoenix Empire, and then splash dirty water on Ji Ning.
Anyway, wasn't this what Sikong Zun wanted?
As long as Sikong Zun was satisfied, he might be able to escape.
Although he suffered a big setback this time, he also learned a lot and understood a lot of things. As long as he could return to the Black Crow Empire.
He believed that he would definitely be able to reach a higher level.
"Hahahaha, did you hear that, Ling Xiao? This is the witness you brought back. You should believe what he says, right? Let's not talk about other things. Ji Ning actually plotted against me, and instigated an internal conflict between the expeditionary army and the Northern Desert army. This gave the Black Crow Empire an opportunity to take advantage of. He is a traitor!
He deserves to be beheaded!
You actually broke into the execution ground to save him. Although your contributions are not small, your contributions cannot make up for your crimes. Even if you can avoid the death penalty, you can't escape punishment! "
"Hahaha, hahahaha, hahahahaha!"
Ling Xiao suddenly laughed loudly.
"Your Majesty, you also saw that even Tomohiko Kuma wanted to protect Sikong Zun. Doesn't this prove that he is a traitor?
You have already seen the real process through the Blood Mirror. The Blood Mirror is a divine artifact of the scorpionmen tribe. It has two special effects. One is to track a person's soul.
This is why Timur Mutu wanted to snatch it.
The other is even more powerful. It can extract a person's true memories, so no matter how the person lies, it will still play out the real process. "
Fengming Wuliang's expression was very ugly.
Before he came here, he had indeed seen Tomohiko Kuma's true memories. Feng Qingyan had brought them to the Imperial Palace for him to see.
But now, Tomohiko Kuma had actually lied. While slandering Ji Ning, he had also whitewashed Sikong Zun.
So wasn't the result obvious?
"Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to deal with Sikong Zun. I hope that all the soldiers and civilians of the Imperial City will know the truth. Only then will they understand who is the traitor and who is the hero! "
Ling Xiao smiled and said to the crowd, "Vice Principal Feng, please play the memory extracted by the Blood Mirror towards the sky. The bigger the image, the better!"
"Okay!"
Feng Qingyan pointed the Blood Mirror at the sky. A moment later, a blood-red cloud appeared in the sky.
