Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

Great Zhou, the North!

At this time, Zhou Zheng had already led the Zhenbei Army all the way south!

Wherever it went, it crushed everything with overwhelming force, and never encountered any force that could contend with it.

"Your Majesty, something seems to be wrong."

Finally, a hint of sadness appeared on the face of Zhenbei King Xiao Mu.

The imagined tenacious resistance did not appear, and even some of the court's elite troops seemed powerless to resist under such circumstances.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be very excited.

But how powerful is Xiao Mu? !

He has been through countless battles, seen countless situations, and is familiar with all the traps.

He could tell at a glance that the imperial court's elite troops did not really put up a desperate resistance, nor did they even think of fighting to the death.

This is totally inconsistent with the current situation between the imperial court and Zhou Zheng, which is like fire and water.

As the saying goes, when something is abnormal, there must be something wrong. Such strange phenomena have already made Xiao Mu alert.

Sure enough, Zhou Ping couldn't help but nodded. Even he noticed the weirdness in this, let alone others?

"What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Zhou Ping frowned and asked quickly. Others also looked at him sideways. Obviously everyone knew that this battle was not a simple victory or defeat, but a battle of life and death.

Once you lose, there will be no recovery.

The news that the five ancient families stood behind the imperial court had already spread throughout the Great Zhou, shocking countless people.

Those who once wanted to stand on Zhou Zheng's side were even more panicked.

Even though Zhou Zheng issued an edict of repentance, and even Zhou Zheng appeased the world and told everyone that this was his family affair and that it was his fault that the people suffered, countless people still lived in fear.

You know, making an enemy of the five ancient families is not a matter of life and death for one person, but a matter of the survival of the entire family.

Against such a backdrop, the imperial court's offensive should not be showing signs of retreat as it is now.

However, Xiao Mu pondered for a long time and still could not think of a reasonable explanation.

"It's very simple."

Finally, it was Zhou Zheng who spoke.

His calmness gave Zhou Ping a start, and he couldn't help wanting to hear the key point.

"Because the real purpose of the imperial court is not to go to war with me."

Pick up the teacup and take a sip.

Buzz! ! !

This short sentence shocked everyone to the extreme, and even their eyes widened in disbelief and disbelief.

The imperial court doesn't want to go to war with them?!

This is simply impossible. Not to mention them, even in the whole world, I'm afraid no one will believe this excuse.

You know, there are many people in this world who want to destroy Zhou Zheng, and the most urgent one among them is the current Emperor Tianjing.

He had no reason to be cautious about Zhou Zheng in such a good situation.

"Because, what they really want is for me to go to war with the five ancient families."

"What they really want to achieve is to use my power to impact the five great ancient families."

Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed into slits, and then he hinted at something.

Hiss, hiss!

This conclusion surprised many people, but when they thought about the current situation and circumstances, it seemed to be true.

But why is this happening?!

They still can't figure it out!

How could the imperial court have the guts to kill someone with someone else's knife, let alone the guts to point the knife at the five great ancient families? !

You know, once they anger the five ancient families, the consequences they will face will be something they cannot bear.

"How many years have the five great ancient families been dormant?"

"Five hundred years or one thousand years?!"

"The five great families of ancient times were indeed very powerful, so powerful that they made the dynasties of the world breathless."

"But countless years have passed, and the world has changed. Is the ancient family still the same as before?"

Zhou Zheng's pupils wrinkled, and there was a hint of certainty in his words.

In this world, talented people are the most forgetful people.

Even if animals don't know it, the blood repression in their bones will make them fearful.

But this problem does not exist for Keren.

In order to completely intimidate the opponent, one must rely on absolute power, and this absolute power must be demonstrated.

Only in this way can you be invincible in the world.

Otherwise, over time, no one will take you seriously.

"Otherwise, why do you think that after several months of the civil war in our Great Zhou, there has been no movement in the Great Xia Kingdom?"

Zhou Zheng twisted his neck and downplayed it.

This sentence made everyone present feel their heads buzzing.

"Boss, isn't this the cooperation that Tuoba Nazha reached with you?"

Zhou Ping was a little slow to react.

Zhou Zheng smiled without saying anything, then shook his head.

"There is no such thing as eternal cooperation in this world. No matter how solid the cooperation is, it is worthless in the face of absolute interests."

Instead, it was Xiao Mu who gave a brief explanation.

At this time, the Great Zhou was in chaos. Considering the grudges between Da Xia and Da Zhou, they had no reason to give up such a great opportunity.

It is even very likely that the Great Zhou will be completely wiped out in this civil war within the Great Zhou.

But why can Tuoba Nazha hold back? !

Even Tuoba Nazha could make the entire Great Xia Kingdom stay put? !

Was it really just the so-called cooperation with Zhou Zheng, the so-called March appointment? !

If this is true, then the rules of this world are too simple.

If this is true, then this world is too kind.

"Then, Your Majesty, do you know why?!"

Zhou Ping was a little dazed, but still asked softly.

"Because, they are waiting!"

"They also want to know the current strength of the five ancient families."

Zhou Zheng spoke.

The five great ancient families have always been in seclusion from the world, declaring to the outside world that they will no longer interfere in secular affairs.

But their former strength and the power that dominated the world are still not to be underestimated.

If the five ancient noble families still have absolute power and trump cards, once the Great Xia Kingdom invades and completely destroys the Great Zhou, then the Great Xia Kingdom will have to face the wrath of the five ancient noble families directly.

By then, how much strength will the Great Xia Kingdom have to fight against the five ancient aristocratic families? !

But it's different now.

They have someone who stands out, and that is Zhou Zheng.

Not only Emperor Tianjing wanted to see Zhou Zheng fight against the five ancient families, but the Great Xia Kingdom also wanted to see it.

So, this is the real reason why they are sitting on the sidelines.

"What a bastard!"

After hearing this explanation, Zhou Ping finally understood.

He slapped his forehead hard, then became filled with resentment.

None of these guys are good!

"So, Boss, what should we do next?!"

Surrounded by wolves, they have bad intentions.

It is really difficult to break the deadlock.

Zhou Zheng snorted coldly, then slowly stood up.

A powerful and domineering aura burst out from his body.

"Why should I walk on thin ice in this life?!"

“If you are too careful, you may not be able to get to the other side!”

"I, I only do one thing! That is to kill!"

"If God blocks the God, kill the God; if the Buddha blocks the Buddha, kill the Buddha!"
