Chapter 1038 The King of the South of Xiling Town (2)

Lei Tengfeng walked into the hall, and what came towards him was the dizzy smell of alcohol and powder. Even if outsiders may not know the inside story, when his father died in battle, a hint of coldness flashed in Lei Tengfeng's eyes when he saw this scene in front of him.

"My de lei Tengfeng has seen the emperor." Lei Tengfeng bowed his head and saluted.

The three generals following him also bowed, "The last general Feng Li, Zhang Yi, and Shangguan Qing pay homage to the emperor."

Emperor Xiling looked at the bottom with drunken eyes and said with a smile: "It's Tengfeng, hurry up, come and sit." Lei Tengfeng got up, walked to the front position in the right and sat down, and said: "Tengfeng thanks the uncle of the emperor."

Emperor Xiling has lost weight a little more than when he was in Xiling Imperial City two years ago. His long-term wine and color corrode his body, and his smiling eyes also seemed turbid and unsightly. However, when these eyes looked at Lei Tengfeng, it made people feel full of meaning, "Tengfeng, aren't you following your father to attack the Mo family army? Why are you back?"

Lei Tengfeng said: "Reported to the emperor and uncle, the father received the news that Nan Chu had betrayed his alliance with our country and had already defected to the Ding Prince's Mansion. Murong Shen and Nanhou of Ding Prince's Mansion personally led 300,000 Nan Chu troops across the Yunlan River to invade our Xiling. The father specially ordered Tengfeng to come back to deal with the matter."

"Oh?" Emperor Xiling looked at Lei Tengfeng with some surprise, "Is this true?"

"What Tengfeng said is true. If the emperor and uncle cannot do it, he can send someone to investigate. I'm afraid that the fight has started on the Yunlan River now." Xiling Emperor nodded and said, "If so, what are Tengfeng's plans?" Lei Tengfeng looked up at Xiling Emperor and said, "Tengfeng planned to pat Shangguan Qing and Feng Li to lead a 500,000 army to fight Murong Shen and Nanhou."

"Five hundred thousand?" Emperor Xiling looked at Lei Tengfeng and asked, "Where do we have that kind of soldiers?" Lei Zhenting took away most of the elite soldiers from Xiling when he went to the expedition, not to mention that there were still a large number of soldiers and horses stationed in the Yunlan River. It is not a pity that Emperor Xiling was worried about taking so many soldiers from Xiling.

Lei Tengfeng lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Otherwise, what should the emperor and uncle think he should do?"

Emperor Xiling was silent. He was suppressed by Lei Zhenting for a lifetime and had never been involved in military, government and civil affairs. Even if a genius continues like this, he will have a day of wisdom, not to mention that he is not a genius at all. After all, Lei Tengfeng fought openly and secretly for so many years, he had to rely on his open and upright emperor status and his natural proficiency in intrigue in the royal family. However, this trick was obviously not feasible when he used it in marching and fighting. Emperor Xiling spent his whole life thinking about how to get back the power of his emperor, but never thought about how he would be a good emperor after taking back this power.

Lei Tengfeng covered the disdain in his eyes and said coldly: "Murong Shen and Nan Hou are both veterans who have experienced many battles. The father is not here now... If he doesn't send a large army to intercept him, I'm afraid that the Mo family army will come to the city again... it's right in front of him."

Emperor Xiling frowned and sighed. He habitually reached out to get the wine glass on the table, and waved at Lei Tengfeng impatiently and said, "Forget it, go. Just do what you said." Lei Tengfeng had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly a person with the eunuch looked like hurried in from outside and whispered a few words in the ear of Emperor Xiling. Emperor Xiling's expression changed, and his eyes at Lei Tengfeng also became full of exploration and temptation.

Waving his hand to let the eunuch retreat, the Xiling Emperor frowned and thought for a moment, and asked, "Tengfeng, you have not told me yet, what happened to the war between our army and the Ding Prince's Mansion?"

Lei Tengfeng said calmly: "What the emperor said is that Tengfeng is planning to report to the emperor."

Emperor Xiling nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's good, I'm a little worried. Don't... deceive me." Deceiving the lord... is a death sentence.

A trace of coldness flashed across Lei Tengfeng's eyebrows and said in a deep voice: "Tengfeng dares not, I report to the emperor, our army is afraid that it will... not be able to resist the Mo family's army... will definitely be defeated!"

"What?!" Emperor Xiling said in shock. Although he was incompetent, he had no grudge against his own country. Originally, he was a little gloating when he heard the servant report about Lei Zhenting's defeat. But at this time, he heard Lei Tengfeng's heavy defeat, but he was still shocked. He really didn't want to experience the feeling of the Mo family army coming to the imperial city again. What's more... the last time he moved from the north to Ancheng, if Mo Xiuyao came to the city again, where else could they go?

The first time in his life, Emperor Xiling discovered that it might not be a good thing to lose Lei Zhenting in Xiling.

"Tengfeng...your father..."

Lei Tengfeng did not hide it and said in a deep voice: "Yes, if Tengfeng expected it was right, his father had already... died for his country." Hearing this, Emperor Xiling couldn't help but be stunned. He lived tremblingly under the pressure of Lei Zhenting. Although he always thought about how to kill Lei Zhenting. But when he really heard the news of Lei Zhenting's death, his first reaction was not happiness, but at a loss.

"Now...what should we do?" said Emperor Xiling.

Lei Tengfeng lowered his eyes and said calmly: "These three generals are all talents left by his father for Xiling. Tengfeng plans to send two of them to lead troops to fight Murong Shen and Nanhou. If Mo Xiuyao personally leads the troops to attack Xiling, Tengfeng is willing to live and die with Xiling."

Now there is no other way. Emperor Xiling did not talk much and nodded, "Okay, I will now confer you as the new King of Zhennan and guard Daling instead of the emperor's brother. In addition, the three generals Feng, Zhang and Shangguan, I will confer them as the General of the National Protection, General Jingguo and General Anguo." In a word from Xiling, the general who was originally only three deputy generals immediately became the first-rank general of Xiling.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Lei Tengfeng lowered his head.

"Thank you for your grace."

When Lei Tengfeng withdrew from the hall, the magnificent palace returned to tranquility. A man who looked like a eunuch walked out from behind, looked carefully at the Xiling Emperor sitting in the dragon chaise closed his eyes and rested, and said softly: "Your Majesty, why are you... not..." They had already made arrangements and could capture him as soon as Lei Tengfeng came. Without Lei Zhenting, Lei Tengfeng was powerful but still young. But if he had given him a few more years of hard work and he was full of wings, it would not be necessary.

But he never heard the signal from Emperor Xiling. The dead soldiers lying on the side could only watch Lei Tengfeng walk out.

Emperor Xiling waved his hand and said, "Lei Zhenting is dead... If Lei Tengfeng is killed again... what should Daling do?" Over the years, his only children have died and married. In this huge palace, he is the only one left except for those concubines who only know how to flatter him. He can be said to be a real lonely man. Now even his enemies for the rest of his life are dead, but Daling is still there... He always has to leave something for Daling.

"Forget it, go. I passed on my order and conferred Lei Tengfeng as King of Zhennan. The former King of Zhennan Lei Zhenting sacrificed his life to his country and was given a posthumous title of "Zhonglie". In addition, if I... I am not feeling well, I will have Zhennan King of Zhennan to supervise the country first."

The eunuch was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding why the emperor changed his mind in a short period of time. However, he had to follow the orders of Emperor Xiling, "The slave obeys the order, and the slave takes his leave." It seems that after Xiling... it is the final say for the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Lei Tengfeng left the palace. Although he obtained all the command of the Xiling army as he wished, he was still as deep as water. Just now... he really had a murderous intention to kill Emperor Xiling. He also knew that Emperor Xiling had set up a dead soldier in the hall, but he did not expect that Emperor Xiling, who had always been foolish, would suddenly make such a decision at that time. After a moment of hesitation, he had lost his previous murderous intent. Lei Tengfeng couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he was indeed far from his father.

"Lei Tengfeng..."

"Who?" Suddenly, a low voice came into his ears faintly. Lei Tengfeng's face changed and he suddenly looked at the origin of the sound. Just a few steps away, a middle-aged man in blue cloth stepped forward and looked at him indifferently.

"Ling Tiehan!" Lei Tengfeng gritted his teeth. The sound he had just heard was obviously far away, but Ling Tiehan had appeared quietly in front of him. However, it took a very short period of time to see Ling Tiehan's martial arts cultivation level to a higher level.

Ling Tiehan nodded, raised his hand and smashed something towards Lei Tengfeng. Lei Tengfeng reflexively wanted to spread it, but suddenly thought of something when he turned sideways, and reached out to grab the thing that Ling Tiehan threw. It was a very ordinary jar made of white porcelain. Although it was wrapped in a layer of cloth, when he bought it, Le Tengfeng felt something inside. At the same time, he also guessed why Ling Tiehan threw this thing to him.

"This...this is..." Lei Tengfeng grabbed the thing in his hand tightly and stared at Ling Tiehan.

Ling Tiehan said indifferently: "This is Lei Zhenting's ashes."

"You burned my father!" Lei Tengfeng felt anger coming to his mind, staring at the man in front of him with hatred. Ling Tiehan glanced at him indifferently and sneered: "You should be glad that Mo Xiuyao was willing to let me burn Lei Zhenting and bring it back."

Lei Tengfeng was speechless. Of course, he knew how many people treated the killed enemy generals, especially when this person's status was still very unusual. But at least... he preserved his last dignity as King Zhennan.

"The Zhennan Prince's Mansion will remember this." Lei Tengfeng said seriously.

A mocking smile appeared on Ling Tiehan's lips, and he no longer looked at Lei Tengfeng, turned around and brushed his sleeves away.

On the street outside the gate of Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Lei Tengfeng held the ashes in his hand and was silently trampled, "Father... I will definitely not let your expectations down..."
