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

After a long time, when Xiao Mu finally digested this information, he slowly stood up.

However, this time, Xiao Mu's face had a hint of coldness.

The moment this cold breath appeared, everyone felt an extremely strong pressure of death.

That is the cold murderous intent that can only be formed after serving in the army for decades and having shed countless blood and lives.

The temperature of the entire inner hall suddenly dropped at this moment.

Even Zhou Zheng couldn't help but his eyelids twitching slightly. He knew that Xiao Mu was really angry this time, and it was the kind of anger that would not stop until one was dead.

He was extremely angry. Such a thing happened at such a critical moment. If Zhou Zheng had not been alert, I am afraid that everyone present would have become a victim.

Self-blame, anger, regret and other emotions merged together at this moment. Xiao Mu could not let such things continue.

"Grandpa..."

Zhou Zheng's voice was hoarse. This time he did not call the Prince of Zhenbei "Prince", but called him "Grandpa".

The word "grandfather" was not only to calm King Zhenbei down, but also to let King Zhenbei know that Zhou Zheng had never doubted him and would never let this matter affect the relationship between the two of them.

It was this sound that made Xiao Mu's body tremble slightly.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. This time, no matter what happens, I will never regret it!"

Gritting his teeth, King Zhenbei's eyes were extremely resolute.

Some time ago, Zhou Zheng said implicitly that the Zhenbei Army might not be united.

Unfortunately, the King of Zhenbei at that time did not take it seriously, and even thought that Zhou Zheng was making a big deal out of nothing.

The reason is simple. At this critical moment, if we take action against certain people in the Zhenbei Army, the morale of the army may be weakened or even shaken, leading to defeat in the war.

Therefore, Xiao Mu felt that he had absolute confidence and means to control the situation.

Even if there are some pests in here, they are unlikely to cause much trouble.

But just now, the list of hundreds of people that Yunxi took out made King Zhenbei feel scared and panicked.

He knew that Yunxi had absolute evidence against these people, and that they were spies who betrayed their master for personal gain. Otherwise, Yunxi would never have given the list to Xiao Mu.

Hundreds of people, all powerful military officers!

How capable are they! ?

Xiao Mu felt suffocated just thinking about it. If he was not careful, their entire army would be wiped out.

They knew very well what this war meant.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit!

But this time the winner can take back the country, and the loser will end up with his property confiscated and his family exterminated, and he will never be able to stand up again.

He, Xiao Mu, may not care about his own life and death, but he cannot ignore the life and death of those brothers who have been through thick and thin with him, he cannot ignore Zhou Zheng's future, he cannot ignore the future of everyone present!

Even though he knew that if he recklessly carried out a bloodbath among the officers of the Zhenbei Army, it might cause unrest or even a mutiny, Xiao Mu didn't care about that anymore.

Because he absolutely cannot allow any pests to be in his eyes.

"If the entire Zhenbei Army is doomed to destruction in the end, then I hope that the Zhenbei Army can exit in the most dignified way."

"The Zhenbei Army has made great contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty and established a solid line of defense for the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"The reputation of the Great Zhou's Zhenbei Army should not be tarnished by these spies and pests!"

"The spirit of the Zhenbei Army should not be desecrated by anyone!"

With his fists clenched, Xiao Mu's eyes were filled with hot tears.

When everyone heard this, they slowly lowered their heads.

Everyone knows what Xiao Mu's obsession is, and everyone also knows what Xiao Mu is persistent about.

But they dare not make a decision or even make any suggestions on this matter.

They could only turn their attention back to Zhou Zheng.

You know, now the imperial court is gathering 300,000 elite troops. Even if Zhou Zheng has a musket, if he loses the Zhenbei Army in front of such a large number of elite troops, then all resistance will be meaningless.

"Your Majesty, how about just killing the people on this list?"

At this time, Yunxi finally stood up.

She had a bitter look on her face; the development of things had exceeded her expectations.

What she originally wanted was to just kill these people. Although there were still many fish that slipped through the net, at least they wouldn't cause any big trouble.

At this critical juncture, they still need the Zhenbei Army.

But judging from Xiao Mu's expression, he doesn't just want to kill the hundreds of people on the list.

What he might be thinking of is to massacre the entire Zhenbei Army!

But if this happens, how many of the tens of thousands of Zhenbei troops will be left? !

Half of it?

It is even very likely to cause great internal strife. By then, there is no need to wait for the elite troops of the imperial court to arrive. They will be in chaos internally and will be completely unable to fight.

mutiny!

Especially the current mutiny is definitely not a price they can afford at this moment.

Whoohoo!

Zhou Zheng's breathing also became rapid. He frowned and kept looking at Xiao Mu and Yunxi.

But in the end, he still said one sentence! "Grandpa has the final say on this matter!"

Buzz! ! !

The brief words and resounding voice made everyone's breathing quicken.

Their pupils were of the same size, and even Zhou Ping looked incredulous.

What is the meaning of this! ?

Could it be that Zhou Zheng really didn't care about anything anymore, and even didn't care about the outcome of this war! ?

Everyone was uneasy and terrified.

But Su Xun'er and Yun Yun looked at each other and then smiled indifferently.

They knew that this was Zhou Zheng's character and this was what Zhou Zheng would do.

Whether it is the world or the country, it is certainly important.

But in Zhou Zheng's opinion, these are not the most important things.

What he really cares about is never power or wealth, but the people around him.

If he cannot satisfy Xiao Mu today, there will definitely be a rift between him and Xiao Mu.

But Zhou Zheng's short words just now were enough to tell Xiao Mu that the relationship between them was truly thicker than blood, and had long surpassed the so-called monarch-subject relationship.

"His Majesty!"

As expected, after hearing this decision, Xiao Mu could no longer hold back his inner fluctuations and sadness.

He knelt down in front of Zhou Zheng, tears streaming down his face and sobbing uncontrollably.

He knew better than anyone that Zhou Zheng was not being polite or making a trade-off, but was truly giving him the discretion and decision-making power on this matter.

He knew better than anyone that Zhou Zheng might face huge risks if he did this.

But Zhou Zheng doesn't care.

What he wanted was to make Xiao Mu feel at ease!

What he wants is to untie Xiao Mu's heart knot!

And such a price seems unbearable to the world!

But Zhou Zheng didn't care at all!

"Grandpa!"

“A lot of things in this world will change.”

“Dynasties will change, and people’s hearts will change!”

"But, you are my grandpa, and that will never change."

"It was so in the past, it is so now, and it will be so in the future!"
