C158 Emperor's Kneel

Yun Feixue's voice was hysterical, his angry roar reverberating around the hall. Everyone was moved by his sorrowful tone.

At the very least, Dongfang Jianxiong had never heard of this matter before. Even the ministers had not heard of it, so they only knew that Xiao Gan had taken over a huge project half a year ago. However, they had never thought that he would use soldiers as laborers.

"He did not dare to rashly recruit civilian workers, because this would attract the attention of others. Furthermore, the young soldiers were full of energy, and as long as they did the job of sealing their mouths, these hundred thousand people would become his personal labor. And I would like to ask, is this project of yours really for the safety of the empire? The huge amount of money allocated by the Emperor from the treasury is probably piled up like a mountain in your Xiao family right now! "

Countless people sucked in a breath of cold air. The construction of these three mountains and two levels was enormous. It was said that the Emperor had already allocated billions of people. Could it be that all of this money had fallen into Xiao Qian's pocket?

His guts and appetite were way too much.

From start to finish, Dongfang Jianxiong did not look at Xiao Qian. He only stared at Yun Feixue, the brothel ladies, and the four vice generals.

After an unknown amount of time, when everyone's breathing had become heavy, Dongfang Jianxiong suddenly asked, "Where are those soldiers now?"

"Wait quietly in the plaza outside the hall." Yun Feixue said.

"Bring me to take a look." After speaking, Dongfang Jianxiong stood up and walked out of the hall. Everyone made a path for him, and Yun Feixue followed closely behind.

The air was not that cold, and the cold wind was not that bone-chilling. However, Dongfang Jianxiong suddenly felt an ice-cold stabbing pain from his chest, as if pieces of ice were piercing his chest.

In front of him and the officials were a large crowd of people dressed in ragged clothes. There were even many who were naked.

Through his tattered clothes, he could clearly see that his body was riddled with holes. Almost all of them were formed from whips and whips. There was even a portion of scars from his injuries.

Yes, these were the soldiers of the Hidden Dragon Empire. Among them, there were many familiar faces of the hundreds of officials. They were like candles that could be extinguished at any time by a light breeze.

"The Hidden Dragon Empire, the original third, fourth, and fifth army camps, all soldiers bow to the Emperor. Our Emperor has lived for tens of thousands of years!" A unified voice resounded across the horizon. The sixty thousand soldiers shouted in unison, shocking the hearts and minds of the crowd. Especially at this moment, it shook the hearts and minds of all the officials and officials present.

Dongfang Jianxiong felt his chest rise up and hot tears welled up in his eyes. They were eager to serve the empire and wished the glory of their lives could shine through the battlefield. They were willing to devote the rest of their lives to the safety of the empire.

However, this body full of holes, that crumbling soul, did not have any strength left to fight for the Empire. Their entire bodies had been corroded by a power called corruption, and if it were not for Yun Feixue bringing them to the Hidden Dragon Palace, the sixty thousand people here would not have been able to fight for their entire lives.

"I, Dongfang Jianxiong, have let you down!"

The simple ten words caused everyone's chest to shake. They saw him suddenly raise both his hands to remove the crown from his head. Lin Yue, who was beside him, quickly took the crown from his hands.

Then, Dongfang Jianxiong did something that everyone, even Yun Feixue, would never forget. With a 'dong', he kneeled on the ground.

"Dongfang Jianxiong has let you down. This bow is for the lost Heroic Spirits. You should have gone to war. I, Dongfang Jianxiong, made your souls have no place to hide. I, Dongfang Jianxiong, have let you down, all of you."

"Your majesty, you can't ah, you're a supreme dragon …" Many of the officials wanted to go forward and help him up, but their eyes flashed with anger and sorrow at this moment. "Kneel!"

With a bellow, the domineering dragon aura descended like a god, causing all the officials and officials to kneel on the ground one after another, towards the sixty thousand soldiers.

At this moment, the entire Hidden Dragon Empire was undoubtedly of great significance. At least the soldiers would never have thought that the ruler of a country would kneel to them. This was unprecedented.

"Your Majesty, please get up. Young Master Yun has repeatedly told us that you must be unaware of this matter. You are a wise monarch, we only wish for our families to live a peaceful life. It is enough for them to live well.

A soldier quickly walked forward to help him up. Tears welled in his eyes, this was already the best explanation for Dongfang Jianxiong's kneeling.

"It is because I was ignorant that I felt guilty. You all rest in peace. There will be no problems with your families. I will take that golden throne and guarantee it!" Dongfang Jianxiong stood up and gripped the soldier's shriveled hands. He felt that he was holding onto a piece of old tree bark that was already dead.

"Thank you, your majesty!" The sixty thousand soldiers answered in unison once again.

"Your Majesty, this subject …" Xiao Gan wanted to say something, but Dongfang Jianxiong didn't seem to want to give him the chance to say anything else. "The Xiao Family, execute the Nine Clan. Hand over all of your belongings!"

"Your Majesty, spare me! Spare me! My wife and children are innocent! They …"

"When you threatened their family, did you think about how innocent they were? Those Heroic Spirits that were exhausted to death, did you think about how innocent they were? When you took all the money, did you think about how innocent these soldiers were?"

Yun Feixue asked one question after another, causing Xiao Gan to not know what to say. He did not feel that Dongfang Jianxiong's punishment was unfair, because the laws of the empire were like this. At the very least, bringing a merchant girl into the military camp was already a capital offense.

The officials looked on in horror. Last time, King Zhuge Ming was Xiao Gan. Who would he meet next time?

However, they did not know that King Ming had also died because of Yun Feixue. At least, if Yun Feixue did not send the name list to Dongfang Jianxiong, he would not be able to find the culprit, Zhuge Mingyue.

"Yun Feixue, you will be punished. Even if I become a ghost, I won't let you go. Yun Feixue …" Xiao Qian's voice was getting further and further away from the crowd.

"Young Master Yun, I wonder how is the project that took place three days ago was progressing?" A voice came from the crowd of officials.

"I let them destroy the project." Yun Feixue said.

"What?" Destroyed, you... Do you know that they built it out of blood and sweat? The official looked incredulous.

"The safety of the Hidden Dragon Palace is not guaranteed by a single door. I advise you to do more serious work. Can it block for a while, can it block for a lifetime? Only a fool would rely on something like this." Yun Feixue said.

"You … Are you insulting the emperor because he's an idiot? " The official continued.

"That's what you said, I didn't say …" Yun Feixue was completely meaningless.

"You …"

Yun Feixue was too lazy to bother with these boring questions, so he said, "Your majesty, Xiao Gan originally planned on giving this mess to me, so I might as well continue taking over."

"You're saying …" Dongfang Jianxiong was not sure what Yun Feixue meant, so Yun Feixue continued to say, "These sixty thousand people are already ill, but you know that I have a way to help them recover in a short period of time. Of course, I believe that they are hundreds of times more effective than Xiao Gan's men."

"But if that's the case, then you must enter the imperial court. Didn't you always …"

"I have a reliable candidate for this position. Since King Zhuge Ming and Xiao Gan have these kinds of problems, don't you think that their positions need to be taken by someone else?" Yun Feixue said.

"Tell me if you have any reliable candidates." Dongfang Jianxiong asked.

"Hong Yan, Su Yu, come out!" With a light shout from Yun Feixue, the two people not far from them hurriedly walked to his side.

Even the officials were slightly puzzled. Could it be that Yun Feixue was referring to these two people?

One of them looked so young, but was at most twenty years old while the other was already forty or fifty years old.

Hong Yan's heart was beating rapidly at this moment. He seemed to have realized what Yun Feixue was going to say.

"Hong Yan, this year he is 21 years old, and his ability is far too inferior to mine. From my judgement, he definitely has the ability to take over Xiao Qian's or even Prince Zhuge Ming's position." Yun Feixue said.

"Young Master Yun, this is all a child's play. Every general in the empire needs someone with experience to take over. You can just find anyone and say that they can take over. You're being too hasty." Immediately, someone raised an objection.

"That's right, he's only 21 years old. How could he possibly have the ability to manage such a huge army? Your Majesty, please reconsider." Another person quickly said.

Yun Feixue looked at them coldly. The two of them were tactful enough to not dare to look him in the eye. After a while, Yun Feixue said, "Only people with experience can sit in this position. I would like to ask what he is doing, Xiao Gan's seniority is not old, this is what he is doing with his seniority. "

Yun Feixue pointed at the sixty thousand soldiers. Once again, he could not help but feel anger rising from his chest.

"That's not what I meant, I just …"

"Well, it's not like what Feixue said is unreasonable. Some positions should be given to people who are willing to serve the Empire. No matter how old their qualifications are, no matter how strong their abilities are, what's the use of their qualifications if they only think about things that these kinds of animals can't do every day?" Dongfang Jianxiong said.

"The Emperor is wise." Quite a few officials echoed him.

At this time he should be more tactful, Dongfang Jianxiong was not an unconscious monarch, and rewards had always been his style. Yun Feixue had a good relationship with him, not to mention that he had found such a huge tumor for the empire, that would be even more appreciated by the emperor. As long as his suggestion was not excessive, it would definitely be adopted.

"What about this person?" Dongfang Jianxiong couldn't help but to ask Su Yu.

His name is Su Yu, a researcher of the Mysterious Weapon Dao. Hong Yan is still young, but if he can obtain Su Yu's guidance, I believe that they can definitely create an indescribable value for the empire. Yun Feixue said.

The eyes of many people, including Dongfang Jianxiong, lit up. Didn't the path of the Mysterious Weapon go missing long ago? This unremarkable person had actually studied such a thing. That was truly impressive.

Humans were always like this. As long as you had real ability, you would never be ignored no matter where you were. You were just an ordinary person, how many people in the crowd would turn their back on you?

"But Young Master, I … "This way, we won't be able to …" Yun Feixue saw what Hong Yan wanted to say, so he patted Hong Yan's shoulder and said, "You can only listen to my orders by my side, nothing else is possible. It's just as I said, what you need is the entire stage of the Hidden Dragon Empire, what I want to do, you know very well, you can't help me even if there are ten of you."

After saying that, Yun Feixue looked at Su Yu, "Uncle, there's no need to talk about this. The reason I brought you here is because of this matter. I hope that your names can be recorded in the annals of the Hidden Dragon Empire."
