King of Nine Skies-Chapter 247 - :New Commander

"Grant the title of 'Red Blood Envoy' and the fiefdom of Yangzhou City."

The crowd's gaze focused. The Red Blood General, the Red Blood Envoy, the Envoys of the Great Victory, the Envoys of the Great Victory and the Envoys of the Great Victory's Successors, and even the Envoys of the Great Victory's Successors themselves were all bestowed with the

In the Kingdom of Snow and Moon, beneath the royal family is the nobility, who hold the supreme power of the Kingdom. And after the nobility comes the marquises, meaning "princes" in Chinese.

Sometimes, a vassal lord could be granted a single fiefdom, while some other vassals could be bestowed with a whole city-state. The latter were the true vassal lords.

Although Yangzhou City is not large in size, Duanyuyi said that he would bestow it upon Lin Feng. This means that Lin Feng has become a local chieftain with full power, and Yangzhou City is completely under his control.

Anyone in Yangzhou City is under Lin Feng's jurisdiction. Lin Feng holds the power of life and death.

At this moment, Lin Feng's eyes flickered for a moment. Before setting out, Duan Wuyi had informed him that he hoped he could achieve great feats and be bestowed with the title of Marquis and Prime Minister after returning to the Imperial City. Now, Duan Wuyi was fulfilling his promise and also declaring that Lin Feng was his man.

"Lin Feng thanked the Highness for the title bestowed upon him."

He whispered something. Naturally, Lin Feng wouldn't refuse the kind offer of Duan Wuyi. There were many powerful people in Xue Yue Kingdom. At present, he hadn't achieved great success yet. Duan Wuyi was trying to win him over. Naturally, he would be glad to go along with it.

"Don't rush to thank me yet. At this juncture, I'm merely saying this for now. The actual granting of the title will have to wait until my father makes the final decision."

Duan Wuyi gave a faint smile. His voice was soft. Although he said so, everyone in the crowd understood that Duan Wuyi had already made his decision. The outcome was already determined. That decision-making process was just a part of the whole thing.

Second Prince Duan Wuyi, if he can't make it happen, how could he dare to say it out loud in front of everyone? Duan Wuyi, he can't afford to lose face like this.

Lin Feng gave a slight nod and said nothing more. But then he saw Duan Wuyi's gaze shift to Duan Xinye and said, "Xinye, that Meng Chong really ordered to shoot at you, and Meng Guofeng was also on the city wall?"

Duan Xin Ye gave Duan Wuyi a glance and then nodded, saying, "Well, everyone outside the city witnessed it. Meng Chong, you ordered him to kill me, and Lin Feng then killed him. But Meng Guifeng, being unable to distinguish between public and private matters, wouldn't let me enter the city."

"Um." Duan Wuyi gave a slight nod and then said, "Meng Guifeng, as the head of the Imperial City Guard, would never act so rashly as to hand over the power to Meng Chong. The real truth is likely that he deliberately allowed Meng Chong to kill my imperial sister. This head of the Imperial City Guard, who dares to kill the princess, deserves to be punished. At the same time, there are suspicions."

Upon hearing the words of Duan Wuyi, many people's gazes narrowed. Meng Guifeng and his son had both died. Why did Duan Wuyi still say such things?

However, just as they were pondering over this, they saw that Duan Wuyi's gaze fell upon Meng Han, and at that moment, it sent a shudder through the crowd.

Meng Han's heart also trembled. A sense of foreboding welled up within him. Just now, in front of the crowd, he had disobeyed the face of Duan Wuyi and sided with Duan Tianlao.

"General Meng Guifeng of the Imperial City Guard was suspected of attempting to assassinate the princess. Although he has passed away, his elder brother Meng Han still holds the position of the Commander of the Imperial City Guard. I believe that before the investigation is completed regarding the incident where Meng Guifeng shot the princess, Meng Han, you are no longer fit to hold the position of Commander of the Imperial City Guard."

When Duan Wuyi finished speaking, everyone's hearts jolted involuntarily. Truly, this is the Second Prince Duan Wuyi - so powerful.

This reason, no matter how Hanmin tried to refute it, was beyond his ability to do so.

Meng Han's heart also twitched fiercely. Damn it, Duan Wuyi! How could he seize the opportunity so easily? With just one excuse, he wanted to overthrow the position of the Commander of the Imperial Guard.

His gaze shifted, and Meng Han's eyes fell upon Duan Tianlang. However, he saw that Duan Tianlang's mouth was tightly closed. At this moment, even he himself had countless blemishes on his body. Duan Wuyi could not yet take action against him. Otherwise, he would never have been so polite to him. At this moment, he dared not speak a word, for fear of getting into trouble.

The Second Prince, Duan Wuyi, is very capable, extremely capable.

Meng Han saw that Duan Tianlang remained silent and his expression darkened. Then he turned to Duan Wuyi and said, "Your Highness, Meng Guifeng committed a crime. What has this to do with me, Meng Han? Although I am his elder brother, I know nothing about this matter. How could I be blamed for this? I should be relieved of my position as the commander of the Imperial Guard."

"Mon Han, I didn't say this matter has anything to do with you either. But Meng Guifeng, even my younger sister, the princess of the royal family, dared to kill him. As the second prince, why didn't I investigate this matter? Before it's clarified and before you know the truth, you're not fit to be in that position. Once the truth comes out, if you are innocent, naturally, the position of the Commander of the Imperial Guard will be returned to you."

Duan Wuyi's words were flawless. But everyone knew one fact: if he continued to be a low-ranking official, it would be extremely difficult for him to rise to a higher position. It was almost impossible.

"I am innocent, I am not guilty."

Meng Han's gaze was cold and his body was straight as he spoke loudly. His eyes were fixed on Duan Wuyi.

At present, he holds the supreme power and the guards are obedient to his orders. The Second Prince wants to easily remove him but it won't be that easy. After today's incident, someone will naturally step forward to help him sort things out.

"Ah, this Meng Han! What nerve he has! This is sheer defiance of the Second Prince!"

"It seems that there are people in charge up there in the Montanha."

The crowd in the distance murmured and spoke out loudly. Meng Han directly contradicted Duan Wuyi in front of everyone.

"Ha ha!"

Duan Wuyi gave a light chuckle, and the smile on her face remained the same.

"Meng Han, you mean that I, Duanyuanyuan, am being unreasonable and making trouble, and you are being slandered by me? Meng Han, you don't intend to follow my orders and hand over the position of the leader?"

"Master Han, I dare not disobey the order of the Second Prince. However, the position of the Commander of the Imperial City's Imperial Guard is of such great significance. Apart from me, no one else is qualified for it. Moreover, none of my brothers in the Imperial Guard would wish for me to step down."

"Really?"

A sinister smile suddenly appeared on Duan Wuyi's handsome face, causing Meng Han's expression to change.

"Ha, ha..."

A very faint sound was heard. Meng Han's body trembled violently. With a dull thud, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Not only Meng Han, but everyone else's hearts trembled together at this moment.

Meng Han's lower lip was oozing blood continuously. He lowered his head and looked at his heart area. There, the silver gun tip was stained with blood red color. Blood drops were slowly dripping down along the gun tip.

Is it true that none of his brothers in the Imperial Guard wish him to step down?

His voice still reverberated in the minds of the crowd, but the reality was so harsh and piercing.

His body moved. Meng Han wanted to turn around, but he saw that the long spear in his hand suddenly spun around, unleashing a torrential force of destruction within him. His pupils narrowed, and then gradually lost their vitality. His body slowly fell down.

After Meng Han fell, a face of extreme calmness, without the slightest ripple, emerged from behind him.

This man is in his thirties, but he still looks very young. However, his composure and calmness make everyone shudder.

"Your Highness, I have heard that Meng Gufeng, the younger brother of Meng Han, intended to kill Your Highness the Princess. Meng Han was completely unaware of this and dared to contradict Your Highness, defying Your Highness' orders. The Deputy Commander of the Imperial City Garrison, Yu Ji, has executed him. Your Highness, please punish Yu Ji for his crime."

Yu Ji knelt on one knee, facing down at Duan Wuyi and shouted in a respectful tone. The people behind him were all generals of the Imperial Guard. Each of them had a calm expression and showed no surprise at all. It seemed as if everything was supposed to proceed in this way.

This scene made everyone feel a chill, it was so cold.

"Montuofeng intended to rebel and killed my imperial sister. Meng Han showed no sign of remorse. Not only did he not admit his fault, but he was even rude and unreasonable. He didn't even take me seriously. Yu Ji killed him, although he was guilty, he was still loyal to the core."

Duan Wuyi slowly began to speak, saying, "Now that Meng Han is dead, the position of the Commander of the Imperial Guard is indispensable. Yu Ji, you were already the Deputy Commander, so you can temporarily take over the position of Commander and lead the Imperial Guard."

"Your Highness, Xie."

Yu Ji respectfully bowed his head, then stood up. At the same time, the person behind him also knelt on one knee and shouted: "Your Highness is wise. We pay our respects to the new commander-in-chief."

The ordinary guardsmen all froze in their gazes. It was only at this moment that they realized what had happened. One after another, they knelt on one knee and shouted in unison: "Your Highness, we obey your orders and pay respects to the new commander."

The deafening sound reverberated around the ears, and the hearts of the crowd trembled violently, unable to calm down.

That's amazing, Duan Wuyi. You managed to take down the Imperial City Garrison so effortlessly. Your tactics are truly remarkable.

If someone were to say that Yu Ji is not the same person as Duan Wuyi, I'm afraid everyone would scoff at such a claim.

Lin Feng's gaze also fell upon Duan Wuyi. Looking at that serene smiling face, a slight chill crept into his heart. Duan Wuyi was very dangerous, truly dangerous!
