After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

Not long after, the noisy Lin'an City became quiet.

The faint smell of blood lingered in the air for a long time.

The people of Lin'an City did not fully understand what was happening, and they kept silent in the dark, not even the dogs barked.

The silence after the noise is equally suffocating.

"Your Highness, all the demons that sneaked into the capital with evil intentions, except for the Lizard Sky Dragon, have been executed. Among them are two wolf demons in the Lunhai Realm, nicknamed Wolf Seven and Wolf Nine."

Inside the imperial palace, Marquis Zi Yi escorted Lizard Tianlong to "report back".

The reason why the word "report" is put in quotation marks is because Marquis Ziyi did not receive any clear orders at all. Although he organized the action, it was because the eunuchs in the palace conveyed the message.

The subtext of using the eunuch to convey the message is: It is the prince's intention to kill the demon, but the prince will not admit it.

This is a common tactic used by those in power.

Therefore, there will be no "reporting back" step afterwards.

Everyone knows it tacitly: if you do a good job, you will be compensated in other places. If you don't do a good job, you will just have to take the blame for "acting on your own initiative."

But after what happened today, strangely enough, there was this link of handover.

Marquis Zi Yi led a dozen experts to surround Lang Qi and killed him. Just as they captured Lizard Tianlong alive and cut off the dragon's horns, someone came from the palace.

Ask him to escort Lizard Tianlong into the palace.

So, this intersection happened.

"This is the dragon horn taken from the top of the Lizard Dragon's head, presented to Your Highness." Marquis Zi Yi presented a wooden box with both hands.

"Present it." Sitting in the main seat, Wei Wu looked at the Purple-Robed Marquis with interest and said with a smile.

The eunuchs on both sides received the order and presented the wooden box. Wei Wu opened it and found a pair of dragon horns with blood still stained on them. The blood seeping out of the dragon was like red fruit, condensed and lingering. It was obvious that it was a rare treasure that could not be bought on the market even if one had money.

Wei Wu nodded in satisfaction, stood up, and came to the side of Lizard Tianlong again.

At this moment, Lizard Dragon was in a very miserable state.

The dragon's horn was cut off, blood was flowing everywhere, and its breath was fluctuating. It was obvious that its essence had been injured, and its mouth was also blocked.

But even with such serious injuries, it was still difficult to hide the coldness and a hint of sarcasm in its eyes.

It was about to be executed by Marquis Zi Yi, but suddenly it was spared and brought into the palace.

In its opinion, it was most likely that Li Chenggang did not dare to kill him and was still thinking about how to end the situation.

There are some explanations for the killing of the envoys.

But if the messenger is also killed, there will be no room for maneuver.

Li Chenggang was scared, and Dajing was scared.

"Chat for a few minutes?"

Wei Wu snapped his fingers, and immediately a eunuch came forward and removed the gag from Li Tianlong's mouth.

"Li Chenggang, you are so brave that you actually dare to attack and kill the envoys of the Wan Yao Kingdom and take my Jiao horns. Your Dajing Kingdom is doomed to be destroyed!" Xi Tianlong almost screamed.

"I've heard you're very stubborn, and seeing you today, it's true."

Wei Wu looked down at him and smiled, "You just don't seem very smart. If I were you, I would definitely not be so stubborn right now. If you beg for mercy, maybe I can let you go."

"Hmph, you still dare to kill me?" Lizard Tianlong gritted his teeth and said, "Li Chenggang, you're lucky to still have a backer, but if you think that having a backer means you can challenge the Ten Thousand Demons Nation, you're too ignorant."

"Backer?" Wei Wu was slightly stunned.

"Isn't he just your father? After coming out of seclusion, did he make further progress, or was it difficult to make any progress?" Lizard Tianlong asked with a hint of sarcasm.

"My backer is my father?"

Wei Wu was completely stunned. Qin He's grinning face appeared in his mind. He quickly threw him out again and said unhappily, "Do I look like someone who relies on his father...er, no, a backer?"

"Yes!"

Lizard Tianlong said in a firm tone that on the road to death, he always ran wildly and could not be stopped even by eighteen cows.

"Very good, you are indeed tough, but don't be so tough in your next life."

Wei Wu's face turned black with anger. He waved his hand and said, "Come on, drag it out and give it a hundred lashes!"

"Yes!"

The guards on both sides heard the order and immediately grabbed Lizard Tianlong and dragged him out like wolves and tigers.

Lizard Tianlong's face suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted, "You dare! You dare! No... You dare not kill me~ Let me go, let me go..."

However, this time, it finally pushed itself to the end of its rope.

Then the sound of torture sticks eating meat was heard outside, and Lizard Tianlong screamed in pain as he was beaten.

The torture stick was covered with short nails. Every time it was hit, it would make a hole in the body. It would beat the person until he bled for a foot. It was obvious that the torturer didn't want to kill him alive.

The guards naturally knew what the "one zhang of blood" meant, so they beat him extra hard, focusing on hitting the vital parts.

After a few seconds, the Lizard Dragon fell silent.

A moment later, the guards reported back that Lizard Tianlong had been hit by forty-nine sticks and died.

This result puzzled Marquis Zi Yi.

If you want to execute Lizard Tianlong, you can do it yourself outside.

The prince tried to stop him and called people in. Bai was provoked by a few words, but finally he personally ordered Lizard Tianlong to be beaten to death.

What are you picturing?

This is something only a political idiot can do.

In the past, the prince was very slippery and refused to take even a little responsibility.

Today the sun rises from the west.

Just when Marquis Zi Yi was stunned.

"Marquis Purple." Wei Wu suddenly smiled at him and said, "You've done a good job. Tell me, how should I reward you?"

"Working for Dajing is my job, I dare not take credit for it."

Marquis Zi Yi said modestly that he was already a marquis, and before the Crown Prince Da Jing ascended the throne, he was the best in the world, so he did not expect any reward, and it was meaningless.

"That won't do. I will reward those who have made contributions and punish those who have made mistakes. You have made great contributions in exterminating the monsters. I have decided to promote you to be the crown prince." Wei Wu had a look of heroism on his face, but at the end of his words, a hint of amusement appeared on his face.

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked.

The emperor's heir is called the Crown Prince, and the crown prince's heir is called the Prince of Wales.

The crown prince holds the same throne as the emperor, so establishing a crown prince is a public selection of an heir.

Everyone knows that the prince has no descendants, but the question is, the prince is still young and strong, why does he need to designate an heir so soon?

Moreover, it is a well-known fact that the prince and Marquis Ziyi are incompatible.

"Prince?"

Marquis Zi Yi couldn't believe his ears. He raised his head and met Wei Wu's slightly playful expression. He was stunned for a moment, then Marquis Zi Yi realized it in an instant.

What the prince wants to take in is not the crown prince, but his son!

This pervert is playing with me?

Marquis Ziyi gritted his teeth and said unhappily, "Prince, in terms of seniority, I am your uncle!"
