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

Prince Yong’s Mansion!

At this moment, the atmosphere was tense, and an invisible and huge sense of oppression had already spread.

At this time, in the hall, King Zhou Yong sat at the top with a frown and flickering pupils.

"Your Majesty, the imperial envoy from the court is only ten miles away from the mansion."

The voice from below finally made King Zhou Yong, who had been silent for a long time, slowly raise his head.

Afterwards, he glanced at the guests. Although he did not say anything, it was obvious that he wanted to know what everyone thought.

Sure enough, everyone looked at each other and finally sighed, but someone finally spoke.

"Your Majesty, the current situation in the world is already clear."

"The battle between the old and new emperors will surely enter its final stage. We cannot stay out of it."

A general who had followed King Zhou Yong for many years sighed lightly, with a hint of worry in his words.

The last time the imperial envoy of the court delivered an order, King Yong of Zhou led 100,000 cavalrymen back to the capital to defend the king.

However, they were extremely slow and remained unmoved even when urged by the imperial court.

However, they heard the news about Zhou Zheng on the way, and the court's previous conspiracy was broken. This made King Zhou Yong ignore the so-called coming to Beijing to defend the king, and even killed the imperial envoy sent by the court to convey the order in public.

Unexpectedly, the subsequent changes in the world situation were beyond imagination.

Zhou Zheng and Emperor Tianjing have already begun to compete openly.

The five great ancient families also took part in the battle.

King Yong of Zhou kept his troops on hold, not because he wanted to stay out of the matter, but because he was waiting!

Waiting for Zhou Zheng's message.

Because everyone knows that King Zhou Yong can only follow Zhou Zheng in his life, it is impossible for him to rejoin the imperial court, let alone surrender to the five ancient families.

But at this critical juncture, the court sent the imperial envoy again.

The current situation is clear, and the arrival of people from the court at this time is of great significance!

"Your Highness, I'm afraid Emperor Tianjing is going to force you to make a choice."

"Once we stand in opposition to the imperial court, I'm afraid the first thing the imperial court will do is to use the power of the five ancient families to destroy us directly..."

The other family general's voice was a little hoarse, but the worry in his words was self-evident.

After hearing this, everyone sighed. They naturally understood the key point.

They knew very well how powerful the five great ancient families were. Not to mention a fiefdom, even the entire imperial court could not be a match for the five great ancient families.

Do they really dare to stand against the court?

"Humph!"

"So what even if that's the case?!"

"We have no choice."

"Surrendering to the imperial court will only lead to a faster death."

There are still some people with discerning eyes who see through the tricks.

Since we are going to die anyway, we might as well fight to the death!

Cough!

King Zhou Yong above cleared his cough, and the originally noisy hall became quiet again.

Everyone present turned their eyes to King Zhou Yong. They all knew that this time, everyone's right of choice and decision was still in the hands of King Zhou Yong.

People once believed that King Yong of Zhou was an incompetent person, but only those who truly followed King Yong of Zhou knew that this was a complete misunderstanding.

Once, in order to protect himself, King Yong of Zhou had to pretend to be stupid and ignore what was happening outside.

But in fact, King Yong of Zhou was a man of great talent and extraordinary ability!

His vision and pattern are absolutely incomparable to ordinary people.

"Who is the imperial envoy this time?!"

King Zhou Yong took a deep breath and asked.

It is actually not that difficult to know the court’s attitude or even guess its purpose.

Because who the imperial envoy is can indicate something to a large extent.

"My Lord, I don't know."

However, to King Zhou Yong's surprise, everyone in the hall shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

The sedan chair was carried by eight people and there were over a thousand attendants.

However, no one saw what the imperial envoy looked like, let alone who the imperial envoy in the sedan was.

This was obviously unusual, but they didn't get any news.

After all, the entire fiefdom had long been sealed off by King Zhou Yong's order, with people allowed to enter but not leave. It was normal for them to be unaware of many of the court's current actions.

"This is quite interesting."

King Zhou Yong leaned back slightly, his brows furrowed, and there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

"Send the order, open the gate."

"When the imperial envoy arrives, he will be allowed to walk in alone."

King Zhou Yong sneered and then gave the order directly.

This order is extremely harsh.

Don't you want to be mysterious? ! Well, this time, let him appear naked in front of everyone and strip you naked!

As for the dignity of the imperial envoy and the dignity of the court? King Zhou Yong didn't care at all.

This is his fiefdom!

This is, is his territory!

If you are a dragon, you have to coil up; if you are a tiger, you have to lie down!

With only a few thousand followers, King Zhou Yong could wipe them out in minutes if he wanted to.

As for the imperial court, what if the worst that can happen is a fight to the death? !

This is the true attitude of King Zhou Yong, and this is the true strength of King Zhou Yong.

......

The gongs and drums are loud and the firecrackers are blasting!

A team of imperial envoys, numbering over a thousand people, appeared at the gate of Prince Zhou Yong's mansion.

However, what no one expected was that the entire Prince Yong's Mansion was extremely quiet.

The gate of the mansion was open, but there was no one in sight.

Not to mention that King Zhou Yong did not come out to greet him personally, there was not even a single figure to be seen around the entire mansion.

For a moment, the thousands of people in the imperial envoy's team felt unprecedentedly confused.

As the imperial guard of honor, they were always greeted by officials and cheered by the people wherever they traveled around the country.

But, when I arrived at such an occasion, I was met with the most awkward silence in my life.

This is contempt for the imperial envoy, this is contempt for the imperial court!

"Sir, this King Zhou Yong is too arrogant. He simply looks down on everyone."

"You don't take me seriously, and you don't take the court seriously!"

"My lord, rush in now and rebuke King Zhou Yong, asking him to come and greet us personally!"

The leader of the ceremonial guard glared at the sedan chair and bowed to ask for orders.

The people in other teams were equally indignant. They tightly grasped their weapons and were eager to charge forward.

"Just you?!"

However, what all the members of the honor guard did not expect was that the person in the sedan chair was not angry at all, but instead mocked what they had just said.

"Sir, what does this mean?"

For a moment, the leader of the honor guard was a little confused.

"Don't you know who King Zhou Yong is?!"

"That is the brother of the current emperor, the only prince still alive!"

"The royal family is noble and has a large army."

"How dare you rush in? And let him come out to greet you?"

"I've seen people seeking death, but I've never seen someone seeking death like you."

The imperial envoy's cold shout instantly calmed down the angry crowd.

At this time, cold sweat broke out on their backs, and they became much more rational.

In this world, the hierarchy is strict and there are huge disparities in status. If you are not careful, your entire family will be executed.

Thinking of this, I felt a little scared.

"Follow me, the imperial envoy, and go in."

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the people inside let out a sigh.

......
