Volume 1: Regent's Stormy Weather 004 What should be done with those who are disrespectful to this king?

  In the council chamber, Li Su thought back on the events of the past few days. He had witnessed with his own eyes the soldiers who had gone through life and death with him, each one a hot-blooded young man with iron bones. They should have been willing to sacrifice their lives to protect their homes and defend their country, but in just six short days, over a thousand of them had been brutally killed or tortured to death.

  Even if they survived, it was a fate worse than death.

  This is no longer a military camp with strict discipline and solemn atmosphere, but has become a place for the regent to indulge in pleasure. Li Su was originally a rough man, only now did he realize that his endurance over the past few days had already reached its limit. If things continued like this, even if it meant risking his own life, he absolutely could not let the Feng nation be destroyed in an instant.

  Remember when the old general led them in a bloody battle, how majestic and powerful it was? The old general died on the battlefield, and General Leng took his father's place to fight, using his troops like a god, which made Qi Guo dare not step into Feng Guo's territory.

  Now it's good, but I don't know if the Regent King is tired of playing with weak men, so he changed his taste and summoned General Cold back to the capital three times a day. Under all kinds of helpless circumstances, he had no choice but to lead the edict back to the capital to report for duty. Who knew that as soon as he entered the Regent King's mansion, there was no more news.

  General Leng had already known the Regent's mind at that time, so before he left, he ordered the border generals to swear to defend the border to the death and not to leave half a step.

  Li Su held his sword in one hand and clenched the other into a fist, his eyes bulging with rage as he let out a thunderous roar, venting all the anger that had been building up over the past few days.

  The other generals remained silent on the side, each with their own thoughts, all with solemn faces. Li Su had always been straightforward, and he could endure for so long, already at his limit.

  Yesterday, the Regent left alone, and later learned that the Regent was ambushed, but did not send troops to support him. Instead, he seemed to be relieved, and vented all his grievances and hatred that had been pent up for days. He even celebrated with drums and cymbals, but before he could rejoice, he saw the Regent return on horseback, looking safe and sound.

  He didn't die after all, which means that the Regent King will not let yesterday's matter go unpunished. This military camp is likely to be a river of blood, but it's a pity for these brave generals who vowed to die for their loyalty. In the end, they won't die on the battlefield, but at the hands of a tyrant. Thinking about it makes me feel extremely cold and I can only lament that Feng Guo is doomed.

  Li Su said more and more angrily, but he didn't know that the regent king was approaching his tent at this moment, listening to all his shouting words. He wanted to continue, but suddenly heard a cold hum, and felt a chill on his back. A gust of wind blew by, and his chest hurt. The person had already been thrown out five miles away, and in this direction, it was the place where the regent king was ambushed yesterday.

  In an instant, Feng Ao Tian was standing upright in the center of the camp, his thin lips pursed, his phoenix eyes cold and stern, like a hawk in the black night, coldly proud and solitary yet overwhelming with majesty, emitting an aura of dominance that seemed to disdain the heavens.

  The generals sitting in the conference hall were shocked and bewildered. Why had the Regent come here? This was his first time coming to the conference hall in days, and he still remembered the first day the Regent came to the military camp and entered the conference hall. Afterwards, he hadn't set foot in this place for half a step, so why had he come today?

  "How dare you! Don't even know how to pay respects to Master Wang?" Si Xi shouted, his voice stern and intimidating.

  At this moment, everyone came back to their senses from the sharp voice of Si Xie, gathered up their doubts and knelt on the ground, saying "General Mo and others pay homage to the Regent King, long live for a thousand years, a thousand years, ten thousand years."

  Feng Ao Tian did not respond, what the previous person said was probably the voice of the officers and soldiers in this military camp. Even if Feng Ao Tian had committed a heinous crime in the past, now that she has become Feng Ao Tian, no one dares to show her disrespect or contempt.

  Inside the conference hall, with Feng Ao Tian's arrival, the temperature suddenly dropped to a cold winter month, all things came to an abrupt halt, and everyone felt a chill run down their spine.

  Feng Ao Tian remained silent for a long time, not uttering a single word. The more he did so, the more it seemed as if everyone had gone through nine layers of icy coldness, chilled to the bone, with no one not wailing in their hearts. Today, they feared that they would be unable to escape their fate.

  "What a wonderful phrase 'the heavens want to destroy my Feng Nation'..." The cold voice, like an icy sword breaking through the ice, pierced directly into the ears of the kneeling generals. Feng Ao Tian stood still, looking down at them with disdain, "How could I not know that I still have such abilities?"

  "Your Majesty, spare our lives!" The generals heard this and were immediately shocked. It seemed that Li Su's bold words had been completely taken to heart by the demon king. It looked like their time was up today.

  "What crime?" Feng Ao Tian raised an eyebrow, his thin lips curling up. "What crime could you possibly have committed?"

  "Your Highness, Captain Li spoke without reserve and in the heat of the moment, which led to a great disaster. I implore you to consider the current situation where we need capable men, and give him a chance to redeem himself." The one pleading was Zhonglang Jiang Bo, who had been in charge of military affairs for the past two years while General Han was absent from the army.

  Feng Ao Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, his cold intent even more pronounced. "You should know how I dealt with that thing from the Qi Guo who didn't know its place yesterday, when it spoke out of turn."

  Ji Bo Ben wanted to plead again, but upon hearing the Regent's words, he immediately stopped talking. The Regent's methods, if they were to be heard in the future, would be mere rumors, but during these days, they were witnessed with their own eyes, and his brutal tactics made people's hair stand on end.

  "What about the four joys? What happened to those who dared to be disrespectful to me in the past?" Feng Ao Tian's words fell, and he raised his right hand to snap his fingers in mid-air. The two soul guards hiding in the shadows immediately flew out.

  "The lighter ones were flayed and dismembered, subjected to the punishment of being blasted with cannons; the heavier ones were torn apart by five horses, and then their corpses were minced into meat sauce, used to feed the wolves." Si Xi was already accustomed to such strange things in the palace, and this matter was just a normal occurrence for him, according to his words, it was just one of the most common ones, and there were even more terrifying ones that he had not yet spoken of.

  Ji Bai and the other generals, after hearing this, even if they were brave and killed enemies like flies, the bloody remains on the battlefield were countless, and they, who had been through hundreds of battles, were now also frightened, their legs trembling, their hands and feet cold, and their hair standing on end.

  Everyone lowered their heads, cold sweat dripping down, and all they heard was a "thud" sound. Then they saw Li Su being thrown into the tent, his eyes wide with fear, his face pale as he crawled on the ground in terror.

  "Is the scenery in the forest beautiful?" Feng Ao Tian stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes narrowed, coldly staring at Li Su who had already been scared silly.

  Li Su raised his eyes, and in a daze, he cast his gaze on Feng Ao Tian. Suddenly, he crawled up from the ground, knelt down, and trembled as he said, "Please, Your Highness, grant me the death penalty!"

  In the forest, everywhere was a mess of blood and flesh with piles of white bones. However, at first glance, one could tell how terrifying the situation was at that time. Now, he had been so frightened that his seven souls were gone and five spirits were lost. If he died, let him die quickly; he didn't want to live in a state worse than death.

  Ji Bai and others raised their eyes, looking at Li Su, their gaze paused, and Li Su's heart was proud and arrogant. Even if he was covered in blood, he would not bow his head to this regent king. In that case, he must have seen something just now?

  Thinking of this, I am even more frightened and trembling with fear, so I pretend to be resigned to death, waiting for the Regent's verdict.
