Upstairs at the East City Gate.
The king, Ling Feizhuo, had a ferocious face and furious expression, and ordered Ling Hongwen to be executed.
All the ministers were as silent as a cicada, not daring to persuade each other.
Ling Hong, one of the old ministers of the Canglan Kingdom, is the patriarch of the Ling family. He is an important minister left by the late king to assist the country. He and Prime Minister Liu Guoliang are both loyal veterans of the Canglan Kingdom. But now the king of Canglan Kingdom, Ling Feizhuo, offends the king because of his words, and this is the only outcome.
Yan Xiuzheng knew the monarch's taboos and did not dare to offend the monarch at this time.
Lu Dahang frowned slightly, showing a bit of disgust, but didn't say much.
If anyone in the Canglan Kingdom can stop the monarch, I am afraid that he, King Wu, is the only one who can stop the monarch.
However, he had always guarded Donglai County and the Donghai area, rarely interfering in the affairs of the Canglan Kingdom's court, and had no deep friendship with Ling Hong and other old ministers. And he had a deal with the monarch.
Originally, the fourth-level and above cultivation materials in Canglan were equally divided among the three Martial Kings Bian, Jin, and Lu.
The monarch, Ling Feizhuo, had promised him privately that after Bian Herong and Jin Xinwei left, he would give him all the fourth-level and above cultivation materials in the Canglan Kingdom in exchange for his unconditional support for the monarch, so he joined the monarch's camp.
He did not intend to quarrel with the monarch because of a minister.
Four wolf-like and tiger-like guards of the royal family Wuhou immediately pounced on him, held Ling Hong down and dragged him down from the east city gate tower, preparing to be executed in public on the street.
At this time, the streets below the east city gate were crowded with tens of thousands of soldiers, ready to go to the city at any time to replace the soldiers who died in the battle with the sea monster on top of the city. They watched in shock as the veteran was escorted off the tower.
Lord Linghong was in the Canglan Kingdom. He was also a senior minister of the two dynasties and had a very high reputation.
The ministers inside and outside the city couldn't bear to look at it.
The soldiers all over the city, as well as the many residents of Donglai City beside the streets, all watched helplessly as Ling Hong was tied to a wooden stake in the street, waiting to be executed.
Wu Zun, a butcher with a burly body and a fleshy face, held a beheading knife, spat and rubbed it on his palm a few times, and said to Ling Hong in a low voice: "My lord, this is your Majesty's wish to kill you, and you cannot blame me for being petty." Cruel! Every wrongdoer has his own debtor, so don't look for the younger ones if you die!"
"Canglan is going to die!"
Ling Hong did not resist. Inside and outside the Canglan Court Hall were the monarch's hawks and claws. He was unable to save himself, but his old face was full of sorrow and he closed his eyes and waited for death.
…
"Hey~!"
The butcher raised his beheading knife, ready to chop down.
"stop!"
On the street, among the densely packed crowd of hundreds of thousands, an indifferent voice came.
The butcher seemed to be instantly immobilized by a force. He held up the knife and could no longer move at all.
Countless people couldn't help but look in the direction of the sound in astonishment.
I saw two men and women wearing bamboo hats and raincoats covering their whole bodies, standing calmly at the end of the street, looking like ordinary martial artists. It was the man in the bamboo hat who shouted to stop. If the man in the bamboo hat had not stopped the execution, no one would have noticed their presence.
At the east city gate, there was a commotion among the ministers.
There are still people who dare to obstruct the execution ground!
Now there are millions of troops inside and outside Donglai City, and there is a monarch personally supervising the execution ground on the city tower, and Lu Dahang, the King of Wu, is sitting in charge.
This Donglai City can be described as a dragnet, but there are still people who dare to obstruct the execution ground!
It's simply lawless!
King Ling Feizhuo suddenly stood up and stared angrily at the execution ground in the streets below the city, laughing in his heart. He wanted to see who would take advantage of the leopard's courage and dare to stop him.
"who!"
"Who dares to interfere with the law field and obstruct the law enforcement of the imperial army!"
"court death!"
The four royal guards of Marquis Wu who were guarding the execution ground on the street were immediately furious. They immediately drew their mysterious swords and suddenly attacked the two men and women in bamboo hats and raincoats.
They are all top Wuhou, and martial arts cultivators at the Wuhou stage and below are not at all in their eyes.
The man in the bamboo hat didn't even look at the four guards, he just raised his hand and waved it like dust.
The eyes of the four Wuhou guards were dazzled, and they intuitively sensed that a terrifying force of vitality was coming from the sky and the earth like a huge wave, knocking them into the air and sending them flying dozens of feet away.
boom!
boom!
The four royal guards of Wuhou fell to the ground, looking at the man in the bamboo hat in horror, and no longer had the courage to step forward.
The man in the bamboo hat did not use his vitality combat skills, but simply mobilized the vitality of heaven and earth.
Otherwise, these Wu Hous would not be simply pushed away by the huge wave of vitality, and they would be killed on the spot.
"Hey~~!"
"Who is this person?"
The soldiers and citizens all over the city were stunned.
Those were four of Wu Houqi's top guards. Unless King Wu took action, who could blow them away like dust with one palm?
Could this man in a bamboo hat be a King of Martial Arts?
Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the city, the man in a bamboo hat regarded the army in the city as doing nothing, walked casually, and in two steps came to the execution ground on the street, where he untied Ling Hong from the execution column.
"Ling Daqing!"
The man in the bamboo hat said softly.
"Ye~Marshal Ye! Is it you?"
Ling Hong's eyes widened, looking at the familiar pair of determined eyes under the bamboo hat, he was so excited that he burst into tears.
"Shuai Ye has become the King of Martial. God will not destroy our Canglan Kingdom!"
He looked up to the sky and laughed, his almost dead and despairing heart actually came to life again.
"Ye Shuai!"
"Oh my God, Ye Shuai is back!"
In an instant, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and citizens in the entire street were all excited, and burst into earth-shattering cheers.
In the Canglan Kingdom, everyone from the eighty-year-old to the three-year-old boy knows the name of Marshal Ye Fan.
Once upon a time, his reputation was so high that even the King Ling Feizhuo and the Regent Ling Jiaojiao did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.
Today, his reputation remains as great as ever.
After almost ten years, they finally waited for Ye Fan to return to Canglan Country again!
"Ye Shuai!"
"you are back!"
On the streets and on the city walls, hundreds of thousands of soldiers held weapons and knelt down to salute, looking up at Ye Fan, with tears streaming down their faces.
Many elite soldiers once served under Ye Fan and participated in the battle against the Qinglang Tribe in the Lieyang Mountains. They had such admiration and admiration for the marshal who led the Canglan army to win the battle that determined the fate of the country. No one can have that kind of admiration and admiration. replace.
Ye Fan glanced at the countless half-kneeling soldiers in the city, and looked at the crowd on the east city gate with indifferent eyes.
He decided to resolve the matter quickly without any delay.
"Why is he back?"
"Marshal Ye is back...what should we do?!"
At the east city gate, hundreds of ministers gasped and their faces changed. Many of them were so frightened that their calves were trembling.
You know, before Ye Fan left Canglan Kingdom, he appointed the regent Ling Jiaojiao to take charge of the government. But just a few years after Ye Fan left, the monarchs Ling Feizhuo and Yan Xiuzheng launched a coup and sent almost all the regents to Zhongzhou.
Most of these ministers are almost all ministers who follow the monarch Ling Feizhuo.
Now that Ye Fan has become an even more terrifying King of Martial Arts and is back, will they be able to reap the rewards?
Ye Fan's face was as sinking as water, and he climbed up the stone steps to the East Tower step by step.
"Stop him! Where are my army and guards? Stop him quickly!"
Ling Feizhuo screamed in fear on the east city gate tower.
The groups of soldiers on the east city gate, and even the royal guards guarding the monarch, all moved apart like a tide and got out of the way.
No one dared to take a step forward.
Not to mention Ye Fan's former status as Marshal of the Canglan Kingdom, who would dare to stop a King of Martial Arts? !
Even Lu Dahang was surprised but did not move. He would not provoke Ye Fan easily.
Everyone in Canglan Kingdom knew that Ye Fan also had a more ferocious mammoth king. Even if Ye Fan is just Wu Hou, no Wu King is willing to provoke him.
Gu Xinyue followed Ye Fan and went up to the east city gate tower, secretly surprised.
Ye Fan's prestige in Canglan Country is unimaginably high.
Even if he didn't say a word, as soon as he showed up, he directly took over the military power of Canglan Kingdom's million-strong army. There was not a single challenger in the court who had the courage to stand up.
Upstairs at the East City Gate, all the ministers were silent, feeling a chill to their bones, lowering their heads and involuntarily avoiding Ye Fan's gaze.
Ye Fan's cold eyes fell on the young minister Wuhou with a dignified appearance and talent next to the monarch Ling Feizhuo.
This is none other than the new prime minister of Canglan Kingdom, Yan Xiuzheng.
"Yan Xiuzheng, you were once the leader of the Canglan Palace Examination. You are a tolerant person with a formidable strategy. I have always felt that sooner or later you will ascend to the position of Canglan Prime Minister. I warned you back then not to lead the king down an evil path. , let alone touch the regent. It seems that you don't take my words seriously!"
Mark's tone was calm.
The calmness made the ministers at the East City Gate feel heartbroken, as if dark clouds were pressing down on their heads, and a terrifying storm was about to hit.
"Shuai Ye, listen to my explanation! I have never dared to break the oath I made. I just want to ascend to the position of prime minister as soon as possible and make the Canglan Kingdom more powerful in my hands. The regent is safe and sound so far... But Unexpectedly, something happened in the East China Sea, and the situation turned bad. I was wrong, and I am ashamed of Ye Shuai!"
Yan Xiuzheng's face turned pale in an instant, and he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"You have not sorry for me. What you have sorry for is the people of Canglan Country. How many people have lost their lives because of your mistake. Kill yourself to apologize. Killing you will dirty my hands!"
Ye Fan looked at him indifferently.
Kill yourself to apologize!
"What...kill yourself?"
When Yan Xiuzheng heard this, he felt as if he heard a thunderbolt from the blue and trembled all over. He never expected that it would end like this.
As a Wuhou, he can also be regarded as a master of martial arts.
But facing Ye Fan, the King of Martial Arts, he couldn't even resist.
Under the huge gap between Wuhou and Wuwang, resistance will only make death more ugly.
Finally, he closed his eyes in pain, struggled in his mind for a long time, pulled out the knife and stabbed it across his neck, and cut himself on the spot. With a "poof", blood splashed three feet, and he fell to his death in a pool of blood.
All the ministers in the east city gate tower were stunned, with faces filled with fear.
With just one sentence from Ye Fan, the new prime minister, who held all the power in the blue country, was forced to commit suicide? !
Ye Fan dealt with Yan Xiuzheng, and then turned to look at Ling Feizhuo on the throne in the east city gate tower.
