"Demand justice!"
"Demand justice!"
"Demand justice!"
The soldiers of the Northern Desert Army were also shouting loudly. They had seen their general being tortured like that. If they did not see their enemy die on the spot, they would not let this matter rest.
"Could it be that at this time, Your Majesty still wants to let Sikong Zun go? Could it be that Your Majesty is afraid of the True Demons Empire, so you don't dare to use torture on him? "
Ling Xiao coldly stared at Feng Ming Wuliang.
Since the other party was so shameless, he would just use the last move.
In the eyes of the Moon Maiden, this Imperial City was not even worth mentioning.
If it was destroyed, then so be it.
But if he did that, it might cause many casualties, and many innocent people might die.
This was also the reason why Ling Xiao had been unable to make up his mind.
If Feng Ming Wuliang was willing to execute Sikong Zun, then everything would naturally be much simpler.
"Your Majesty, please execute Sikong Zun! Give the heroes justice! "
It was clear and bright, and the sound was like thunder.
The massive cry for mercy once more resounded over the Imperial City.
Feng Ming Wuliang had originally thought that with the Jia Clan's interlude, many people would forget about this matter, but he was wrong.
Who would forget something like this?
Who would dare to forget?
Forgetting meant that there might come a day when he himself would become a sacrifice.
Feng Ming Wuliang suddenly rubbed his head and sighed. "Yinshan, We suddenly feel unwell. I will leave the rest of the matter to you. You must handle it well and not incite a revolt."
Since he could not make a decision, Feng Ming Wuliang simply feigned illness and left, leaving this mess to Feng Yinshan.
Of course, to a cowardly and hesitant person, this was a mess.
But to Feng Yinshan, this was an excellent opportunity.
By executing Sikong Zun, he could firmly grasp the will of the people and have Ling Xiao owe him a favor. This would make it easier to use in the future.
Of course, he was keenly aware that this was very dangerous. If things went wrong, he might even provoke the State Teacher to deal with him.
But in truth, he had no other choice.
He had two competitors. The first was the current Emperor. Sitting firmly on the throne made it very convenient for him to do anything, and he had an extremely good relationship with the Immortal Island of Perpetual Joy and the Righteous Alliance.
The other was the Crown Prince, Feng Ming Qishan. This person had a great reputation in the army. Basically, other than the Northern Desert Army and the Imperial City Army, he had trusted aides in all the other armies. Moreover, those soldiers were also willing to listen to him.
Because he was brave and good at fighting.
Feng Yinshan was at an absolute disadvantage. Only by gambling could he obtain some capital.
For example, as long as he killed Sikong Zun, his reputation in the imperial court would definitely soar.
The Northern Desert Army would be grateful to him, and the people of the Imperial City would remember him.
More importantly, Ling Xiao would miss him.
In this way, he would have the capital to compete with the other two.
Feng Ming Wuliang left and gave him full authority to handle this matter. He didn't want to offend Sikong Zun and the Imperial Preceptor, and he didn't want to offend the True Devil Empire.
As for him, he had to seize this opportunity.
"Everyone heard it just now. The Emperor has given full authority to this king to handle today's matter. Now, this king announces that Ji Ning and the others will be restored to their positions, and Ji Ning will be conferred the title of King of the Northern Region. He will rule over the Northern Desert and build a giant shield for the Divine Phoenix Empire in the Northern Region. The Black Crow Empire will have no chance to take advantage of this!"
Feng Yinshan's understanding of full authority naturally included rewards and punishments.
If Feng Ming Wuliang didn't admit it, it would be useless.
If he said it in front of so many people, unless Feng Ming Wuliang didn't want to be the Emperor anymore, it wouldn't be a problem to reward him as long as it wasn't excessive.
And Feng Yinshan had grasped the situation very well.
"Crown Prince Xie Yinshan!"
Ji Ning naturally knew that Feng Yinshan was helping him, so he also gave Feng Yinshan face.
"In addition, it has been confirmed that Ling Xiao has made outstanding achievements in the battle against the Black Crow Empire. Not only did he turn the situation around and resist the invasion of the army, he even killed Timur Mutu and captured Tomohiko Kuma alive. Such achievements are earth-shattering. This king has specially promoted him to the position of Northern Desert City's Military Governor to assist General Ji Ning.
In addition, he will be conferred the title of Dragon King of the Heavens, and the east of the Eastern County will be his territory. "
The Eastern County was a small city close to the Eastern Sea.
It was even smaller than the Northern Desert City, and much smaller, with a population of only a few tens of thousands.
But anyone with a discerning eye knew that Feng Yinshan's words had a hidden meaning.
What did he mean by east of the Eastern County?
What was Dragon King of the Heavens?
East of the Eastern County, wasn't it referring to the Heavenly Dragon Continent?
And wasn't Dragon King of the Heavens also referring to the Heavenly Dragon Continent?
In truth, Feng Yinshan was fulfilling his promise. By bestowing the Eastern County to Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao could begin his great undertaking of destroying the True Demon Empire.
And on this point, the Divine Phoenix Empire would not stop them either.
Although there was a verbal agreement, there were many cases of the True Demon Empire's soldiers pretending to be pirates and attacking the Divine Phoenix Empire's coastline.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised by this.
One had to realize that the highest governing body in the Divine Phoenix Empire was the Righteous Alliance, and below that was the imperial household.
Generally speaking, only members of the imperial household had the right to be conferred the title of King.
And today, Ji Ning and Ling Xiao had both been conferred the title of King by Feng Yinshan. This had a very special meaning.
Many Kings with different surnames were just empty titles with no real meaning.
But Ji Ning and Ling Xiao were different. Both of them were Kings with different surnames who had their own territories. This was very special.
To the east of the Eastern County was Ling Xiao's territory. In this area, Ling Xiao wielded absolute power over life and death. He could deal with anyone he wanted without even reporting to the Imperial Court.
This was the privilege of a King.
Feng Yinshan dared to do this because he was thinking about his own future.
He knew that Ling Xiao was an ambitious man, but he also knew that Ling Xiao disdained the Divine Phoenix Empire. Thus, Ling Xiao did not directly compete with him.
This was a man with true foresight.
He was not like those short-sighted people who believed that Ling Xiao would steal their power and status. That was truly foolish to the extreme.
It should be said that Feng Yinshan was expressing his goodwill to Ling Xiao.
He couldn't even say that he was trying to win him over.
With Feng Yinshan's insight, he could naturally see that Ling Xiao was no ordinary person. If he wanted to make such a person his subordinate, he would definitely suffer a loss.
It was better to get along and become allies.
"Many thanks, Crown Prince Yinshan."
Ling Xiao indifferently said.
In truth, it didn't matter if Feng Yinshan conferred the title on him or not. After this incident, both Ji Ning and the Northern Desert Army were willing to listen to him.
In reality, these people had already become his private soldiers.
Feng Yinshan's actions were just adding fuel to the fire.
Of course, he still appreciated Feng Yinshan's good intentions. If others respected him, he would naturally respect them tenfold.
This was his personality.
Moreover, he knew very well that he could do what he did today not because he was strong, but because he had the Moon Maiden by his side.
This was not his ability.
It was because of the Moon Maiden.
He could not be too cocky. He was not strong enough. No matter how strong the people by his side were, they could not protect him in every way.
Only when he was strong could he be truly strong.
Only then could he truly control his own destiny.
