The fiefdom increases by one soldier every second, and millions of cavalry circle the Dragon City

The forces across Lingnan received a secret message one after another.

The content of the letter was very simple, but it made everyone who saw it change their expressions.

In Yan'an City, Chu Zhongfeng also received this secret letter.

Opening the secret message, the font on the letter is familiar.

A line of fine print reads:

"As long as you can kill Qin Ming, I will help you become the new King of Lingnan!"

Looking at the contents of the secret letter, Chu Zhongfeng's eyes kept flickering.

It was obvious that he was very moved.

Chu Zhongfeng naturally knew that the secret letter was sent by someone in the palace. Since he said so, he was certainly sure!

As long as I can kill Qin Ming...

As long as I can kill the Sixth Prince...

He is the new King of Lingnan!

Chu Zhongfeng's eyes sparkled.

He quickly called his men to discuss.

At this time, Zhang Zeduan had also arrived at Jinsha City in Lingnan with the imperial edict.

"you again?"

The guards of Jinsha City were still impressed by this Zeduan, and they suddenly said angrily.

The last time Zhang Zeduan came, the so-called competition caused their three brothers in Jinsha City to be seriously injured and dying.

If it weren't for the old miracle doctor Hua Tuo, I'm afraid that even if he doesn't die, he will suffer from the root of the disease.

What's more, Zhang Zeduan seems to be in conflict with the Sixth Prince of Jinsha City.

The guards of Jinsha City naturally did not have a good attitude towards Zhang Zeduan.

Being treated like this by the guards of Jinsha City, Zhang Zeduan, the prefect of Yanzhou, was a little angry.

Who is this Jinsha City guard? How dare you stop him!

But he still suppressed the anger in his heart and said angrily.

"I came today not only to give an explanation to His Highness the Sixth Prince, but also to bring His Majesty's imperial edict!"

"Imperial decree?!"

The guards of Jinsha City were stunned.

Your Majesty actually issued an imperial edict?

What's wrong? Could it be that he wants to punish His Highness the Sixth Prince?

They looked at each other and winked quickly.

"Master Taishou, can I have a look at this imperial edict?"

During the conversation, one of the guards had sneaked away and went to inform Qin Ming.

Zhang Zeduan was neither anxious nor discouraged, and slowly took out a golden imperial edict from his arms.

When the guards of Jinsha City saw that Zhang Zeduan actually took out the imperial edict, their eyes almost popped out.

That is an imperial edict!

In the entire Jinsha City, except for Meng Fan and Master Meng, no one else is qualified to see the imperial edict!

After taking out the imperial edict, Zhang Zeduan wiped it carefully and squinted at everyone.

"This is your Majesty's imperial edict to His Highness the Sixth Prince!"

"Want to see it? You're not afraid of losing your head!"

Zhang Zeduan held the imperial edict with contempt in his eyes.

The guards of Jinsha City looked solemn and did not dare to look any further.

"Open the city gate and welcome the imperial edict!"

Zhang Zeduan shouted again, and many guards in Jinsha City were shaken.

Just as the two sides were in a stalemate.

One person's voice broke the deadlock here.

"The Sixth Prince is here!"

The others finally saw it and shouted, "It's His Highness the Sixth Prince!"

Qin Ming's figure came slowly across the crowd.

He saw Zhang Zeduan at a glance, and his eyes unconsciously fell on the imperial edict in his hand.

Qin Ming's mind moved and his eyes were thoughtful.

"Prefect Zhang, this is the imperial edict?"

Seeing Qin Ming, Zhang Zeduan's expression changed slightly and became a little flattering.

"Your Highness, no, the Sixth Prince..."

Sixth Prince?

Qin Ming was confused.

What are you doing?

Qin Ming said impatiently, "Don't show off, what is going on?"

Zhang Zeduan was speechless and opened the imperial edict aggrievedly.

"Your Highness, Sixth Highness, this is the prince whom your Majesty has personally consecrated!"

He read out the imperial edict word for word.

"...canonized the sixth prince Qin Ming as the 'King of Lingnan', and hereby expresses his gratitude..."

The guards of Jinsha City also froze on the spot.

Meng Fan, who was following Qin Ming, opened his eyes wide.

Even Qin Ming was shocked by the news.

You...have been canonized as a prince?

King of Lingnan...

Zhang Zeduan kept holding the imperial decree with both hands, but could not wait for Qin Ming to take it for a long time.

I feel sore from bending over.

Finally, the people around Qin Ming were the first to react.

Pei Zhi smiled broadly and clapped his hands excitedly, "Okay! Your Highness has actually been canonized as a prince by His Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang also smiled and nodded.

Qin Ming finally realized something and stepped forward to take the imperial edict from Zhang Zeduan.

Until now, he still couldn't believe it.

Is this title of king such a casual thing?

But fortunately, Qin Ming has become much calmer after experiencing so many things.

Now facing the temptation of becoming a king, Qin Ming still remains calm.

Holding the imperial edict in his hand, Qin Ming asked the first sentence.

"Prefect Zhang...Does this King of Lingnan have any real benefits?"

Zhang Zeduan's body stiffened and he looked at Qin Ming with a strange look.

This...this is the King of Lingnan whom His Majesty personally anointed!

How many people want to be canonized as king by His Majesty but have no chance!

You...you actually want more benefits?

Although he had already labeled Qin Ming as "greedy" in his heart, he still patiently explained to Qin Ming.

"This 'King of Lingnan' is personally granted the title by the current Emperor Yan, and represents orthodoxy. Do you understand, Your Highness?"

"This Lingnan is your territory, and the people in Lingnan are your people!"

"Below one person, above ten thousand people!"

As he spoke, Zhang Zeduan's eyes became extremely hot.

The status of the King of Lingnan is far beyond what he, a small prefect of Yanzhou, can compare with.

Judging from the current situation, his status is second only to Emperor Yan!

One word or one action can make the difference between the lives and deaths of thousands of people!

This is the king, the king of Lingnan!

Qin Ming nodded in understanding.

"In other words... is it just a title to scare people, or is there no reward at all?"

Zhang Zeduan almost spit out blood.

"No, Your Highness, I..."

"What you said...is correct."

Zhang Zeduan's tone softened.

Emperor Yan's imperial edict was indeed a bit hasty.

He simply gave His Highness the Sixth Prince the title of "King of Lingnan".

But there are no substantial rewards...

What a thousand taels of gold, a thousand acres of fertile land, a thousand good horses...

nothing.

But this is the title of king!

How many people live in poverty and have nothing to ask for!

Officials like Zhang Zeduan, even if they have become local governors, still want to be crowned king.

almost impossible!

Qin Ming curled his lips.

He thought that the reward would be great if his father issued an imperial edict.

Now it seems that it is just a blank check.

In Qin Ming's opinion, the title of King of Lingnan is more substantial than rewarding him with some material supplies.

But then again, the title of King of Lingnan seems to be quite handsome?

Seeing Zhang Zeduan's angry expression, Qin Ming stopped talking.

He wanted to ask Zeduan again.

Can you withdraw this imperial edict and issue some real rewards again?

But looking at everyone's reaction now, it seems unlikely that the imperial edict will be withdrawn.

Qin Ming didn't pay much attention.

He didn't expect that just by wiping out the Black Wind Village, he would be crowned King of Lingnan by Emperor Yan.

But what happened next made Qin Ming even more unexpected.
