"Okay, I'll stay here and let General Ji Ning go back. Is that okay?"
This was the best solution Ling Xiao could think of.
"No, you can go back, he must stay!"
The commander shook his head and said.
"Ling Xiao, let's go. I, Ji Ning, do things with a clear conscience. Sikong Zun was not injured by me, so there is no need for me to run away."
At this time, Ji Ning also said.
"General, you are usually very shrewd. Why are you so confused at the critical moment? You have a clear conscience? But there are too many generals in this world who have a clear conscience but were killed! Listen to me, if you want to leave here with your strength,
No one can stop me, I just need to stay here."
Ling Xiao shook his head and said: "I, Ling Xiao, have only one life. If I die, I will die. It doesn't matter. But you are different."
"What a bastard, do you want me, Ji Ning, to kill you for no reason?"
Ji Ning was really stubborn at this time.
Just as the two were arguing, a sword suddenly struck them.
The attacker wore an iron helmet and could not see his face clearly, but his hands were strong.
Ling Xiao did not dare to underestimate the enemy and stabbed directly. The long sword pierced the opponent's armor, and the sharp blade tore the metal armor apart.
"Get out! I don't want to kill you!"
Ling Xiao knew not to kill people randomly at this time, otherwise, the situation would become more serious.
However, the other party didn't care at all. Despite the danger of Ling Xiao's sword, he still stabbed Ji Ning with the sword in his hand.
"do not blame me!"
It was absolutely impossible for Ling Xiao to let anyone kill Ji Ning, so he withdrew his sword and kicked the man on the chest, trying to kick him away.
But the moment he kicked him out, he realized that he had miscalculated.
The person in front of me is just a cover.
While he was busy entangled with this man, a sharp arrow had pierced Ji Ning's body.
Fortunately, Ji Ning ducked instinctively and avoided the critical point.
But the location of the arrow wound was already a little black.
"This arrow is poisonous!"
Ling Xiao looked at Ji Ning in shock: "And this is not an ordinary toxin, this is 'Black Jue Powder'!"
Black Jue Powder, the Black Crow Empire is good at using practical poisons that can even hurt Yin and Yang realm warriors. Even if they cannot kill them, they can still be immobilized for a short period of time.
"General, leave quickly. It's too late. There must be spies like black crows and dog thieves among this crowd!"
Ling Xiao was anxious, he was not strong enough after all, and this person could shoot and hurt Ji Ning silently, so he might not be much worse than Ji Ning in strength.
Ling Xiao even suspected that this guy was Timur Mutu.
Is Sikong Zun really colluding with the Black Crow Empire?
Or is this simply arranged by the emperor?
The more I think about it, the more terrifying it becomes.
The vicious methods used by these people who are engaged in remediation are really endless, which is simply unimaginable.
"He is dead. Kill him quickly. Don't let him escape!"
Under Jia Yun's instigation, the people from Shenhuang Academy finally took out their bows and arrows and shot at Ji Ning randomly.
Ling Xiao's sword light swept across and blocked most of the feather arrows, but there were still a few that were not blocked.
The power of Hei Juesan was so terrifying that Ji Ning could only resist it at this time. He was hit by several arrows and was bleeding profusely, all of which was black blood.
"Go away! Whoever blocks my path today, I will kill!"
Ling Xiao has no other choice. If Ji Ning dies here today, the conflict between Beimo City and the Imperial City Camp will inevitably become tense. If a war breaks out here, the people of the Black Crow Empire will be proud.
"What a loud tone. This is the Imperial City Camp, not a place for you to run wild!"
Jia Yun sneered and blocked Ling Xiao's way.
"I told you, get out of here!"
Ling Xiao stabbed out with his sword, and the red sun cone tore through the void and flew away. Jia Yun was obviously startled.
However, this sword was eventually blocked by the commander of Shifangtian Cultivation.
"Governor Ling, please stay. General Ji Ning has been poisoned and it is impossible to leave. Don't worry, as long as you are willing to stay, I can keep you safe."
"Can you keep us safe? If Sikong Zun colluded with the Black Crow Empire and deliberately framed General Ji Ning, can you protect him? Don't take yourself too seriously. If something goes wrong, you will be the sinner of the country!"
Ling Xiao was no longer in the mood to make any sense, now the facts were obvious.
Today's banquet is a trap.
But neither Ling Xiao nor Ji Ning expected that Sikong Zun would actually seriously injure himself in order to frame them.
This is also cruel enough.
"Let them go. Perhaps they are not really to blame for this matter. It is only my fault, Sikong Zun, for trusting others too much."
Sikong Zun fell to the ground, and the military doctor was treating him. At this time, his acting skills had reached the extreme.
Anyone who sees his frail look and listens to his words will have deep admiration for him.
What a great man. It seems that we have all wrongly blamed him. In fact, he is a noble man, a great man, and an admirable man.
Ling Xiao looked at Sikong Zun's performance coldly. He couldn't say anything. Anything he said at this time would be considered shameless and a villain's behavior.
So as long as I can get out of here, that's fine. The truth can't be buried forever.
"No, General Sikong is generous, but we cannot let the murderer leave!"
Jia Yun jumped out at the right moment.
Sikong Zun sighed and said: "Listen to me, do you want to see internal strife in the army of our Divine Phoenix Empire?"
boom!
At this moment, a shocking thunder exploded from Beimo Pass.
"Sorry, General Sikong, the people from Beimo City are taking action. They say we want to harm their general, so give us a stick of incense. If we don't surrender, we will die!"
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, how could Li Ruguang and Zhang Yufei be so stupid?
Li Ruguang is a serious person, but Zhang Yufei is rough and subtle, and Zhuge Ming is a wise general. It is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing that only a pig teammate would do.
Is there really an emperor or a spy from the Black Crow Empire in Beimo City?
Moreover, this spy is probably not low in strength and position.
At the very least, he should be a captain of thousands.
Many strange memories emerged in Ling Xiao's mind, and those memories were all about the fate of these generals who served their country loyally.
To deal with these people, the enemy cannot defeat them, cannot attack them, and cannot persuade them to surrender. The last resort is to alienate them.
He probably now understands what the Black Crow Empire is planning to do.
"It's hateful. I don't want to argue with them, but they want to kill our people. Do they really want to rebel?"
Sikong Zun struggled to stand up, and then ordered: "Tell them that their general will go back soon, and let them retreat to Beimo City first, in case the Black Crow Empire suddenly invades!"
"Yes, General!"
"ah--!"
The messenger had just walked for a moment when he heard a scream, followed by arrows piercing the air.
No one knew why, including Ling Xiao, who was dumbfounded.
