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

Chapter 1496 A gamble?

The sound of Xiao Mu's execution never stopped.

In just a few minutes, dozens of people were killed.

These people all have one thing in common, that is, they hold official positions, and they are either ordinary soldiers or generals.

In addition, Xiao Mu seemed to have known their identities for a long time, so he did not listen to anyone's explanation from beginning to end.

If at the beginning, some members of the Zhenbei Army still held on to a lucky mentality, now no one dares to think so.

Killing one might be to scare everyone else.

Killing two of them, perhaps some spies have been found.

But now, more than a dozen people have been killed, and the most important thing is that there is no sign of stopping.

In exchange for suppression, today's killing will continue.

As for how many people were killed in the end and how many so-called spies were uncovered, no one knows.

But now, within the entire Zhenbei Army, the emotions of everyone have become extremely complicated.

Those loyal soldiers and generals just felt relieved. After all, they joined the Zhenbei Army and didn't want to die at the hands of these spies.

Those spies were terrified, as no one knew whose name Xiao Mu would call out in the next second.

But they all knew that once their names were called, they would not even have time or opportunity to react before their weapons were stripped off and they would be killed on the spot.

Therefore, every second is torture, huge torture.

Looking at the bloody scene ahead and seeing bodies being torn apart one after another, they finally became scared.

Countless people were trembling in their hearts, their faces were pale, and their bodies were shaking uncontrollably.

How they wished Xiao Mu would stop calling out names, but unfortunately, there seemed to be no end to the list in Xiao Mu's hand.

How many people are behind?

Ten?!

Hundreds or thousands! ?

No one knows, and no one knows.

They only knew that the further back in time Xiao Mu read out the names, the higher the official positions. From a hundred households to a thousand households, from a garrison commander to a commander, and even to a general later on.

You have to know that these people are not ordinary Zhenbei Army, they all hold real power.

Killing them is a huge matter for the current Zhenbei Army.

But Xiao Mu did not hesitate at all. He was still so decisive and resolute. This was enough to show Xiao Mu's determination today.

The killing continues.

After a stick of incense, hundreds of people were killed!

The corpses in front have piled up into a small hill.

Countless heads rolled, blood dyed the ground red, and the whole air was filled with a disgusting smell of blood.

Many people looked as pale as death, and some began to retch soon after, or even fainted on the spot.

After all, although they are the elite of the Zhenbei Army, they are not the Zhenbei Army that have been tempered in countless life and death battlefields, so naturally they do not have that kind of determination.

Of course, no one knew whether these people fainted because they were frightened and timid, or because they were spies and wanted to protect themselves.

Unfortunately, Xiao Mu didn't give them any chance at all.

Xiao Mu continued to call out names, and this time, some people who had fainted were called out.

The guard showed no emotion at all. He directly pulled the seemingly paralyzed and unconscious man to the front and killed him on the spot in the same way without mercy.

It can be said that the whole process was smooth and without any drag.

At this moment, tens of thousands of elite Zhenbei Army soldiers understood one thing clearly, that is, no matter what, as long as they were named by Xiao Mu here, they would die in the end!

Many spies hidden in the Zhenbei Army finally began to panic.

They have never been afraid of fighting, but the despair of being waited in ignorance makes them feel worse than death.

Every time Xiao Mu read out a name, their hearts would jump to their throats.

They were scared and panicked. They didn't want to end up with their bodies torn apart and their blood splattered on the spot.

They thought about resisting, and some even held the long swords tightly in their hands ready to draw them at any time.

Unfortunately, they had no idea whether their name would be the next to be called, so they didn't dare to take action in advance.

When they heard their names and prepared to fight, they found that they had already been controlled by the guards.

Even though the guards had no chance to take action, seeing the tens of thousands of Zhenbei Army around them, they had no power to fight and could only wait to die passively.

Finally, under this tremendous oppression, some spies could no longer sit still.

They looked around, their faces filled with despair but unwillingness.

They didn't know why they were exposed, and they couldn't understand why they had finally made it to this point. If they just waited a few days, or maybe a month, they would wait for the decisive battle of the court. That would be the time for them to make achievements and become famous.

Why did the problem occur at this critical moment?

But the fact is that they were exposed.

The most important thing is that when they wanted to mutiny, they realized how ridiculous they were.

In order to conceal their identities and purposes as much as possible, these spies were almost unaware of each other's existence.

In other words, there may be many spies among them.

But they are all disciples of the great families of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

How many aristocratic families, how many gentry and powerful people, how many royal relatives and nobles are there in the Great Zhou! ?

Except in very rare cases, they do not communicate with each other at all.

They only knew that when the decisive battle came, they would take out a piece of yellow cloth and wrap it around their shoulders, and at that moment they would be their own people.

Unfortunately, not to mention whether we can wrap it with yellow cloth now, the most important thing is that today's gathering was too sudden and no one prepared the yellow cloth at all.

Therefore, even if I wanted to raise my arms and rush out, I didn’t know how many companions I had.

Most importantly, they dare not expose their companions easily.

damn it!

A spy cursed in his heart.

The further they went, the more people died, and they finally couldn't bear the depression in their hearts anymore.

There is a spy and the situation is almost at the point of collapse. Every minute and every second is extremely tormenting.

But Xiao Mu was neither anxious nor slow.

His eyes were cold and his face was calm. He was like a soul-catcher from hell. Once he read out a name, he would definitely take away a person's life.

As for the corpses that were piled up like a small hill, he seemed to not care at all.

It was as if these were not the Zhenbei Army that had fought alongside him, but the enemy.

The heads rolled more and more, even spreading out for dozens of meters.

This shocking head-viewing phenomenon made many Zhenbei soldiers unable to bear it any longer.

"Your Majesty!"

"Can I, can I leave now?!"

Finally, a slight trembling voice came from the crowd of Zhenbei Army.

I saw a captain trembling all over, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was pale. It was obvious that the scene just now had completely frightened him.

He thought of countless possibilities, but in the end, his instinct for survival made him speak.

He had a premonition that if he didn't speak up, he would be the next to die!

Now he can no longer care about so many things.

Even if the result was like this, he would be dealt with by the aristocratic families, but he couldn't care less.

As a noble family, the worst that could happen is that they would expel him from the family tree, but at least he is still alive.

But if you don't speak up now, you will most likely die.

His status was not comparable to those of the untouchables. He was still young and had countless possibilities. He absolutely did not want to die here so easily.

Even though he knew that the result of speaking out might be death, at least he was willing to give it a try.

Otherwise, when your name is called, any words you say will be meaningless and useless.

He takes a gamble!

As expected, this abrupt sentence instantly attracted the attention of tens of thousands of Zhenbei troops.

Everyone turned to look at the captain.

The entire training ground was eerily quiet; even everyone's breathing could be heard clearly.

Everyone wanted to know what Xiao Mu would do.

"Huh, you remember now?! It's too late!"

Zhou Ping sneered.

What he hated most in his life was spies.

Although Xiao Guan didn't say anything, his face was gloomy and murderous.

As for Lei Tong and others, they looked even more disdainful.
