"This marshal's father, the Shoulder King, is a general from the five nations and has made great contributions to the country. Now that you all have entrusted me with the military power, I will not let you all down. Now that my royal father has been killed, and everyone is furious, I hereby swear to the heavens and to the true God that I will seek justice for my royal father and prevent my royal father's glorious name from being ruined. "

Shang Qiuyuan overlooked all the generals. "You have been deeply indebted to my royal father. Do your best to follow me and seek justice for your father. If you have second thoughts, kill without mercy!"

"We are willing to follow the young prince and obey his commands to seek justice for him."

The generals responded in unison. Shang Qiuyuan had ordered people to bring in blood and wine, and had sworn a blood alliance with everyone. He had sworn an oath to return justice to the nine heavens.

"Young Prince, when will you dispatch troops to return to the Southern Champion Kingdom and seek justice for the Prince?"

"Zuo Si, this cannot be rushed. Although we have already sworn blood oaths, you should know that now that the news of my father's death has spread, the soldiers' hearts have been thrown into chaos. Furthermore, Yun Meng was on the verge of making a move after the news about royal father had been spread, and the Northern barbarians and Jing Hai were also watching.

"This subject understands that only by relying on Feng Yuan can the young prince be sure of victory."

"It's good that you understand. I have already ordered for the border to be tightly sealed for information. These days, I need to deal with all those who have ill intentions before I can send out my troops. How can you seek justice for your royal father if the internal affairs are unstable? You should understand this principle. "

"Young Marquis, you are wise and farsighted, your subject is far less stupid than you are."

"It's not that you can't make it, it's just that your heart is in disarray and you can't see the situation clearly. Although I am grieving, my heart cannot be thrown into chaos. I have to take care of the aftermath carefully before I can seek justice for my royal father. "

"Young prince …"

Zuo Si knelt at Shang Qiuyuan's feet, raising his head to look at Shang Qiuyuan, "Young prince, this subject has already handed everything, everything, to the young prince. I beg that the young prince must seek justice for the prince, I can't destroy his heroic name."

Shang Qiuyuan stretched out a hand to help Zuo Si up, looking at him with a gaze of pity, "Zuo Si, you've been too tired recently and you're not feeling well either. It's better for me to treat and rest. Otherwise, how can you help me seek justice for my royal father? Rest assured, I will definitely let my royal father bury him in the Heavenly Pillar Mountain with the etiquette of a duke.

Zuo Si stood up shakily and said with tears in his eyes, "Thank you, young master. If so, I am willing to serve you until I die."

Shang Qiuyuan patted Zuo Si's shoulder, "It's best for you to treat and recuperate as soon as possible. Don't overdo it, let your body recover as soon as possible." As for the affairs of the prince, as well as the matter of sending troops, I still need your help. "

"Thank you, young prince, for your love. This subject will do his best. How would you deal with the young prince of An Ling Cyan Mist?"

"An Ling Cyan Mist is also a rare talent. I want him to be of use to me. You don't have to worry about that. Take some medicine and rest for a few days." "After a few days when the arrangements have been made, I will send my troops south. I do not wish for you to rest in bed."

"Yes, your subject obeys."

"Marshal, could it be that the marshal is really going to seek justice for the king? In my opinion, how about he ascend the throne at Fengyuan and become the emperor himself?"

"That's right. When a marshal ascends to the throne, he becomes the emperor. This means that this general has achieved the highest amount of merit points in the country." "Marshal, don't hesitate anymore. Who wouldn't respond if we shouted for him to ascend to the throne of the great marshal of Fengyuan."

The rest of the group responded. Once Zuo Si left, the only ones left in the room were Shang Qiuyuan's old department, his most trusted generals.

Shang Qiuyuan smiled bitterly. Although he held the military power of the Nine Heavens Palace, it was hard to say what those people were thinking. If he really wanted to ascend to the throne of Fengyuan, these people would be the first to rebel. Yunmeng, Beiyi, and Jinghai would seize the opportunity to send out their troops, and before his dragon throne warmed up, he would be plagued with internal troubles.

"Nonsense, shut up."

A slightly angry gaze swept over them, and the few of them immediately quieted down. They all lowered their heads and respectfully stood on the spot, not daring to say a single word.

Although Shang Qiuyuan treated his subordinates extremely generously, spending most of his time with his soldiers, his military rules were extremely strict. The soldiers both loved and respected Bai Lian, and respected him from the bottom of their hearts.

"You really are brazen people. Don't spout nonsense in the future. If you dare to spout nonsense again, do you think this marshal will not punish you with military rules?"

"This lowly general doesn't dare. This lowly general just doesn't understand the marshal's intentions. Please enlighten me, marshal."

"The three nations are currently watching the Southern Champion and us. The soldiers left behind by royal father have not yet recovered, do you want us to die without a burial ground? If you don't understand, then don't spout nonsense. It's fine if you are here, but if others were to hear of it, they would say that I already had the ambition to cause chaos. You bastards, don't you think I'm too free? "

Shang Qiuyuan sat down, rubbing his temples as he helplessly looked at Golden Armor and the others. These people were all people who could take out a general's head as if it were a piece of cake.

"If I had the heart to become an emperor, the first to rebel would be Father's subordinates. Their roots lie in the Southern Champion, and their families lie in the Southern Champion."

"Understood, the time is not ripe yet."

Everyone suddenly came to a realization that Shang Qiuyuan's head was hurting even more. If there were more people like Zuo Si, then he wouldn't need to go through so much trouble. Waving his hand, he said, "Don't say this again in the future. All of you can leave. Men, invite the An Ling Blue Mist in."

The golden armored general smiled. "This general will ask for it himself. Marshal, what's there to worry about? This general is a barbarian to begin with. We shall follow the general's orders." "The marshal should find a few people like Zuo Si to help him share his worries."

A moment later, An Ling Qing Lan, who was tied up in all kinds of bundles, was pressed down. She entered the room but did not kneel down, and stared fiercely at Shang Qiu Yuan. Her mouth was sealed tightly, so she could only express her dissatisfaction with her gaze.

Shang Qiuyuan indicated that someone had stepped forward to pull out the cloth from An Lingyun's mouth. Just as she was about to open her mouth and say something, Shang Qiuyuan raised his hand to stop her.

"I already know what Lord An Ling wants to say. He's just scolding me for being a saintly benefactor who has betrayed the emperor's favor and has violated his vow from the past." "Now, I still have to ask the Commander, how about we listen to Qiu Yuan?"

"Bah!"

An Lingyun spat but her face remained cold. Since he wanted to say something, Shang Qiuyuan knew it, so why should he say it out loud?

"Lord An Ling might not be very clear about the current situation. Allow me to explain to you, sir. Men, come and look after the commander."

"If you have something to say, hurry up and say it. If you have to fart, quickly say it!"

A few days ago, he came under the military order of Shang Qiuyuan, but he was detained by Shang Qiuyuan. He did not know how the guards were doing, and his heart was burning with anxiety.

As for the agreement between the four empires to call off the army, as well as the great changes in the Southern Champion Ancestor Long, he had yet to receive any news. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been called over by Shang Qiuyuan's military order and detained in Ping City.

In the name of peace talks between Shang Qiuyuan and the other three countries, he forced An Ling, Qinglan, to come here and directly capture them. The troops led by An Ling, QingLan, also used a scheme to capture them all without any bloodshed.

Originally, according to the original intentions of the Great Generals of the Shoulder King, he wanted to use the An Ling Blue Mist as a sacrifice for the nine heavens, but since Shang Qiuyuan said that leaving the An Ling Blue Mist was of great use, he didn't move.

After being locked up for a few days, it could be imagined how depressed An Lingyun felt. Now that she saw Shang Qiuyuan, how could she not hate him?

Shang Qiuyuan was not angry, he ordered someone to serve tea to An Ling's Qinglan, and briefly introduced the matter. The four empires had agreed to call off the army, the death of the King Shoulder Emperor, as well as the fact that he already held the military power of the King Shoulder Emperor in his hands, with the intention to return to his master, Zu Long.

"But what is young prince planning? This lowly general is slow-witted, I beg Young Prince to enlighten me. "

An Lingyun suppressed her anger and stared at Shang Qiuyuan. "Could it be that this young prince has forgotten the vow he made before His Majesty and wants to rebel?"

"If I had forgotten my oath, would the Lord Commander still be alive today? Do you know how many people are out there that want to use your head as a sacrifice to Royal Father? "

"This general would like to ask Young Master if you've never forgotten the vow you made before His Majesty. Why are you holding me captive?" "Also, where are my subordinates right now?"

"Your men are the same as you. They were captured and taken by me without harming anyone."

An Lingyun suddenly stood up, but he was still tied up, so it was hard for her to move. He glared fiercely at Shang Qiuyuan, "Young master, don't forget that you are the one who was personally conferred the title of Duke of Fengyuan by His Majesty. Even this young prince's title was bestowed upon you by the Emperor. What does Young Master want to do now? "

"Lord Commander, why are you so angry? Please sit down and listen to Qiu Yuan."

Anling Qinglan slowly sat down. Shang Qiuyuan walked in front of Anling Qinglan and personally removed the rope tied around her body. He did not care that Anling Qinglan would suddenly launch an attack, and was even more confident in his martial arts skills.

"Your excellency probably doesn't know that the emperor is currently ill and unwell. The empress will take care of the imperial affairs in his place."

"How could that be? The empress dowager was the one who handled matters of state for the emperor in secret. The empress dowager and the emperor definitely won't let the empress take control of the imperial government."

Shang Qiuyuan broke into a laugh. "Does Your Excellency still think that the Empress is the original Empress?"

An Lun's heart trembled. That's right, since nine days had passed since the Emperor Palace was executed, his daughter would definitely not be the Empress anymore.

"It, it was the Divine Doctor who became the Empress?"

"Master is really slow, it's her."

"But, shouldn't the empress dowager secretly handle the affairs of the court? It's the same in the past, why would the empress dowager hand over the court affairs to the empress dowager? "

"The empress dowager grieved at His Majesty's injuries, so she was severely ill and was unable to handle the affairs of state."

An Lingyun stood up and bowed deeply, "This lowly official is slow, may Your Highness please explain that Your Highness has placed this lowly official in this place and has also sent people to take care of this lowly subordinate. Furthermore, you have taken over the military power of the former King. What is your intention?"

"Commander, if you weren't with me, I'm afraid you would have died long ago, and your subordinates would have died as well. What do you think your father's former subordinates and advisor, Zou Si, would do when they heard that your father had been killed? "

An Ling Cyan Lan froze. If that was the case, then the first to be taken revenge would undoubtedly be him. He would become the sacrificial offering of the King. His subordinates would do the same.

"In that case, this lowly subordinate should thank Young Master for saving my life, and should also thank Young Master for painstakingly protecting the lives of thousands of my subordinates. This lowly subordinate shall kowtow and thank you."

An Lingyun kneeled on the ground and kowtowed. She raised her head and looked at Shang Qiuyuan, "May Young Master please state clearly what you want to do next? "Could it be that he is trying to seek revenge for the king, or perhaps he is trying to fight to his death in Fengyuan?"

Shang Qiuyuan faintly smiled, his face calm without a ripple. "I will lead troops back to the Southern Champion City tomorrow, and I still need to make you suffer a grievance in continuing your journey. For the next few days, you still have to suffer a grievance, so please persevere for a while."

An Lingyun slowly stood up from the ground. "Your Highness wants to bring troops back to the Southern Champion City. This lowly servant does not understand Your Highness' meaning, so may Your Highness give me a few pointers."

"Now that the peace talks have ended, there will be a period of peace. The war has come to an end, and I should return to my duties. The soldiers were far away from Nanke, so it was time to go back and reunite with their families. "I believe that in a few days, an imperial edict will arrive. I am waiting for it."

"How did Young Master seize the authority of the King's side by side with the King?"

"Commander, do you want to see the imperial edict? "His Majesty ordered me to take charge of everything in Fengyuan. Whether it's the warriors left behind by my father or the adults, they must all listen to my orders."

"May Young Master take out the imperial edict. If so, this lowly subordinate shall obey Young Master's military order and not dare to defy it in the slightest."

Shang Qiuyuan passed the imperial edict to An Lingyun. "I thought that my father was seeking justice in his name and had grasped the military power left behind by my father, but I was worried that you would misunderstand and spoil my plans. That's why I've invited you to temporarily rest here for a few days."

An Lingyun opened the imperial edict and looked left and right, but was unable to find anything wrong. Of course, he couldn't see any problems with it. Ji Tian Ning had personally sealed the imperial seal, leaving nothing for Shang Qiuyuan to casually fill out.

"Since Your Highness has an imperial edict and has shown me your lowly position, how could I dare to disobey the imperial edict? Why did you scheme to detain me here?"

"If I don't, how would I be able to gain the trust of my royal father's subordinates and take over the military power in my hands? If I am unable to grasp my royal father's military power in my hands, how can I pacify them and suppress this great chaos? "

An Lingyun quickly kneeled on the ground, "Please forgive me, Young Master. This humble one has misunderstood Young Master. The great matter of Fengyuan and the peace of the Southern Champion City all depend on Young Master's courage and wisdom. One day, His Majesty will heavily reward me. This lowly one will first congratulate Young Master."

Although An Ling QingLan didn't completely believe Shang Qiuyuan's words, as a prisoner at this moment, and since Shang Qiuyuan had an imperial edict in his hands, he could only hope that Shang Qiuyuan didn't have any ulterior motives.
