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

"You were all selected by me personally."

"I treat you as the successor of the Zhenbei Army, and I am even prepared to hand over the flag of the Zhenbei Army to you to fight."

"Unfortunately, you have ultimately failed me, failed the Northern Zhen Army, and failed the trust that the Great Zhou placed in you!"

When he said this, Xiao Mu clenched his fists and his voice trembled.

His eyes were a little red and his body began to become excited.

He had thought about it countless times, and had imagined that the Zhenbei Army would be able to recover to its original heroic state through his efforts.

Unfortunately, he was proved wrong.

After all, these people are not the brothers who have been through life and death with you, nor are they the right-hand men who have fought bloody battles with you.

They have various ideas and different purposes.

In the Zhenbei Army, they only wanted to satisfy their own selfish desires. They never really cared about the Zhenbei Army, let alone really thought about the military soul of the Zhenbei Army.

Xiao Guan is extremely capable, Zhou Zheng has even better training methods, and coupled with his own abilities, they can indeed gradually produce a strong elite force in a short period of time. This strength, if used well, can even be compared to the original Zhenbei Army.

This was Xiao Mu's confidence and also his hope.

However, Zhou Zheng's words made him understand that these so-called elites were just elites after all.

They are not the elite of the Zhenbei Army, nor are they Xiao Mu's elite, nor are they Zhou Zheng's elite.

They are the elite of the imperial court and the elite of the ancient aristocratic families.

As long as these elite troops turn against them at the critical moment, the so-called creators will be the ones who die in the end.

Xiao Mu absolutely could not accept such a possible outcome.

He can die, but the Zhenbei Army cannot be humiliated, and Zhou Zheng cannot have any problems.

Finally, Xiao Mu turned his attention back to the army in front of him.

The entire training ground was quite quiet.

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers had already heard Xiao Mu's words clearly. They did not speak, but everyone's expressions were extremely complicated.

Some people glared angrily, some lowered their heads in shame, and some had dull expressions.

But everyone's reaction was that there was not much movement.

Even within the entire Zhenbei Army, a strange aura of oppression emanated.

Everyone knows that the point is not that the King of Zhenbei said the news, but the most important thing is what the King of Zhenbei did after the news came.

Will he carry out a bloodbath? Or is this just a bluff, or is this all made up? !

Therefore, everyone was waiting, waiting for what King Zhenbei would say next.

Not only the soldiers present, but even Zhou Zheng and others, also stood with their hands behind their backs, not far away, with their eyes slightly closed, waiting quietly.

Since Zhou Zheng has handed this matter over to Xiao Mu, he naturally will not interfere with Xiao Mu's decision.

Even if Xiao Mu gave the order now to open the city gate and let all these elite troops leave, Zhou Zheng would not say a word.

On the contrary, Zhou Ping and others felt a little nervous at this time.

At the moment, they have no news from the imperial court, but their intuition has long told them that the so-called large army will definitely approach the border.

If they cannot cut the Gordian knot now, and wait until the decisive battle with the imperial court for these spies to turn against them, it will be a fatal blow to them.

So, no matter what, he didn't want such a risk to occur.

"You, since you were recruited by this king, then this king must be responsible for you."

After a long time, Xiao Mu finally started.

Just these first few words made everyone's heartbeats suddenly skip a beat, and even their faces became quite strange.

They thought of countless possibilities, but none of them thought of this possibility.

"Boss?!"

"King Zhenbei, what are you doing!?!"

Zhou Ping felt his head buzzing at this moment. He quickly moved to Zhou Zheng's side, narrowed his eyes, and a chill filled the air.

Xiao Mu, are you trying to rebel? !

But if Xiao Mu rebelled at this time, they would really have no chance at all.

Not only Zhou Ping, but even Xiao Guan's mouth twitched, his pupils dilated, and he looked incredulous.

But he did not move, because he knew that no one in this world would rebel against Zhou Zheng, but Xiao Mu would.

"Don't worry, Grandpa knows what to do."

Similarly, Zhou Zheng also had a calm expression.

He knew that if Xiao Muruo really wanted to rebel, he would not have waited until now.

As for what other people think, Zhou Zheng doesn't care. He only knows that his own thoughts will not be easily shaken.

"so!"

"Now, I will give you a chance!"

Sure enough, just when everyone had a lot of thoughts in their minds, Xiao Mu continued to speak.

He took a step forward, and the voice in his mouth became a little louder.

Chance!?

When these two words came out, many people frowned, obviously not understanding what this so-called opportunity meant.

"An hour!"

"I will give you one hour to leave this city and disappear from my sight."

"This can be regarded as the end of the friendship between you and me."

Hoo ho ho! ! !

After Xiao Mu said this, many people felt their hearts pounding.

Especially Zhou Zheng, Yun Yun and others, they all looked incredulous.

Lei Tong and others also bit their lips, obviously unable to understand Xiao Mu's behavior.

"impossible!"

"My father cannot be soft-hearted in such a matter, Your Majesty. There must be a reason. My father must have a plan and a backup plan."

This time, it was Xiao Guan who panicked.

He knew Xiao Mu's character too well. He always kept his promises. No matter who he was facing, Xiao Mu was always like this.

His meaning now was very clear, he wanted to allow these spies to leave.

Then he will definitely let these spies leave in the end.

However, such an approach is too risky for Zhou Zheng and his people now. It may even paralyze the entire army and put Zhou Zheng in an absolutely passive state before the decisive battle.

Once these people leave alive, it means that they will join the imperial court and inform the imperial court of all the information here.

At that time, they were completely naked in front of the court and there were no secrets at all.

Crazy, this is crazy!

If Zhou Zheng hadn't stopped him, with Zhou Ping's temper, he would have jumped out and shouted, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"Don't worry, I believe in Grandpa!"

"I have said that today's matter will be fully handed over to Grandpa to handle."

"So, no matter what his decision is, no matter what his approach is, I absolutely believe in it."

"Because, I am also a man of my word."

Zhou Zheng shook his head indifferently, but his eyes were still fixed on Xiao Mu in front of him.

Seeing Zhou Zheng like this, everyone had no choice but to give up.

At this moment, they were just constantly hoping in their hearts that Xiao Mu really had a backup plan, otherwise the development of things would certainly be far beyond their expectations.

As expected, the entire army was the most agitated at this time.

Of course, there are loyal people here, as well as people who just want to eat and wait for death, and there are also people who want to gain some military merit here.

However, there must be the spies that Xiao Mu mentioned.

These spies were feeling very upset and their breathing became much faster.

If it weren't for the protection of the large army, their little tricks would have been exposed long ago.

They didn't know why Xiao Mu knew their identities as spies even though they had hidden so well. They didn't know why they were exposed.

But they could feel the atmosphere around them and felt a little unsure.

But no matter what the situation is, almost all spies are gambling!

I bet this is just Xiao Mu's bluff, he is just being mysterious.

As long as you refuse to admit it, no one will know and you can wait until the decisive battle to take action.

So, they began to take deep breaths and force themselves to adjust their state, trying to calm themselves down as much as possible and look as calm as possible.

As if nothing happened, or as if they were loyal people.

After all, their mission was too simple, just to hide and wait!

Hide in there and wait for the imperial army to come out.

So, a few minutes later, the tens of thousands of troops of the Zhenbei Army stood still, just like at the beginning.

It seems that there are no spies here.

However, this result made the gloominess on Xiao Mu's face at the front even more obvious.
