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

For a moment, everyone fell silent.

Countless pairs of eyes fell silently on Xiao Mu. Obviously, they were all waiting, waiting for Xiao Mu's attitude.

Xiao Mu raised his eyelids slightly and soon saw the captain who spoke first.

His face was expressionless, but his brows slowly frowned.

This subtle movement made the heart of the thousand-householder who spoke suddenly rise to his throat, and his fists clenched involuntarily.

He had already made up his mind that if it really came to that, he would fight to the death.

After all, he was unwilling and unwilling to be made a leader.

For a moment, their eyes met, and Qianhu's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but his hand could not help but tighten the long sword at his waist a little.

"Boss, how many seconds do you think King Zhenbei will let him live?!"

When Zhou Ping saw this scene, he sneered in his heart.

"You still underestimated King Zhenbei."

However, Zhou Zheng shook his head, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

These words made Zhou Ping's heart sink, but Yun Yun beside him couldn't help but nodded.

"This is what King Zhenbei wants, not just killing people."

Yun Yun’s words made Zhou Ping even more confused for a moment. Did he kill hundreds of people just to make them confess voluntarily?

But King Zhenbei already has a list.

He had taken a quick glance at the list and saw that there were probably several hundred people on it, perhaps three hundred or five hundred.

In short, although these people hold important positions and are considered to be quite powerful, they are still not enough in front of tens of thousands of elite soldiers of the Zhenbei Army.

Even in Zhou Ping's opinion, Xiao Mu's so-called promise to them at the beginning was useless.

They should have named and tied up these hundreds of people at once from the beginning, and then killed them all in front of the army.

In this way, it can be done quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, without wasting so much time and energy.

In Zhou Ping's opinion, such a big fuss was just a means for the King of Zhenbei to intimidate the many Zhenbei troops.

However, Zhou Ping did not think that this approach was the best solution.

"Just watch and learn from the prince."

Seeing that Zhou Ping obviously didn't understand the hidden meaning in her words, Yun Yun didn't bother to explain further.

Even she was a little uncomfortable with this bloody scene, but when she heard someone take the initiative to admit his identity, she knew that this was the real purpose of King Zhenbei.

Zhou Zheng nodded to what Yun Yun said.

Obviously he and Yun Yun had the same idea.

It has to be said that the methods of King Zhenbei are really not simple.

In this regard, Zhou Ping could only sigh and continue reading, because he also wanted to know what kind of medicine was hidden in the gourd of King Zhenbei that made Zhou Zheng and Yun Yun so highly recognize it.

Gulu!

The captain who spoke at this time couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The time of waiting was very short, but for him, every second felt like a year.

But, without a specific response from King Zhenbei, he did not dare to move.

Beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down his cheeks.

The weather today is not that hot, but the captain is already sweating profusely and has a dry mouth.

Finally, King Zhenbei moved!

He slowly lowered his head, then glanced at the list in his hand, and finally raised his eyes again, staring coldly at the captain.

This series of movements was extremely slow, so slow that it made people's breathing disordered and rapid.

Finally, as if he had made up his mind, King Zhenbei spoke.

"My king, my promise is worth a thousand gold."

"For the sake of our previous friendship, I can let you leave now."

"Remember, don't look back, otherwise I'm worried that you won't be able to help but regret it!"

Gritting his teeth, King Zhenbei finally let go.

His voice was very complicated and his emotions were somewhat fluctuating.

But this promise made Qianhu feel relieved instantly, and he felt as if he had been redeemed.

He was completely relieved, knowing that he would not die after all.

Afterwards, Qianhu looked at King Zhenbei with a complicated expression. He slowly put down the weapon in his hand and bowed deeply to King Zhenbei.

Then he took off his armor in public and folded it neatly on the ground.

Finally, when Xiao Mu closed his eyes, he finally made up his mind, turned around and left.

His turn was very direct, without any affectation or pause, as if he had prepared it long ago.

Seeing this captain walking out from the army, the Zhenbei Army took the initiative to make way for him.

Those loyal Zhenbei soldiers wanted to kill him on the spot, but unfortunately, without the order of King Zhenbei, they dared not act rashly. They could only glare at him and grit their teeth.

And those spies didn't even dare to blink.

Because they were not sure whether King Zhenbei really allowed him to go, or was just pretending to do so, and would kill him in one fell swoop when he turned around and was completely unprepared.

It was not until the figure of this thousand households completely disappeared from everyone's sight that they were sure that the King of Zhenbei really did what he said.

He let the spy go!

"Why, how can this be possible?!"

"Letting a tiger go back to the mountains will bring endless troubles!"

"Boss, you said that being lenient to the enemy is being cruel to yourself."

Zhou Ping's head was buzzing at this moment. He couldn't imagine why this was the result. He didn't want to believe why this was the case.

He thought that Xiao Mu was joking, and he never expected that Xiao Mu really wanted to let this man go.

Once this happens, all rebels in the future can do the same?!

How to lead the soldiers?

"You, keep watching."

Hearing Zhou Ping's anger and unwillingness, Zhou Zheng was not in a hurry.

The corners of his mouth rose, and his eyes were full of admiration as he looked at Xiao Mu.

Now is a critical period, and using such means at a critical period is truly extraordinary.

Seeing Zhou Zheng sitting on the Diaoyutai, Zhou Ping could only grit his teeth and then sigh.

He was unwilling, but in the end he didn't dare to do anything and could only stand there quietly. He didn't believe that Xiao Mu had other means and abilities, so he wanted to see what Xiao Mu was going to do.

The same was true for others. Although they didn't say anything, the expressions on their faces said it all.

And Xiao Mu, who was at the front, watched the Qian Hu disappear in front of him in a swagger before he looked away.

At this time, Xiao Mu's eyes finally fell on the hundreds of people who had just been killed.

Some of these people have relatively young faces, while others have been through a lot.

Some of them have military merits, and some are talented and were selected by him personally.

But now it seems that I am really old.

I have gotten so old that I can no longer recognize people and can no longer tell who are loyal and who are spies.

If it weren't for Yunxi's tricks, the entire Great Zhou would have been destroyed in his hands this time.

But now is not the time for Xiao Mu to reflect.

He took a deep breath, then returned his gaze to the list in his hand, ready to continue what he had not completed.

However, this action caused the Zhenbei Army, which had originally calmed down, to become restless again.

But this time, the ones who were restless were obviously the spies.

They clenched their teeth and their eyes kept rolling. It was obvious that they could not help themselves in this situation.

If I don't speak and Xiao Mu calls out my name, it will be too late to regret.

But if he spoke, wouldn't that mean he was admitting his identity? !

"Damn it! Staying alive is the only way to go!"

"It's better to live a miserable life than to die! Live first, and we can think about the future later!"

Thinking of this, someone finally couldn't help but continue speaking.

"My Lord, I, I want to leave too!..."

"And me, Your Majesty, and me."

"My Lord, I am sorry for you and the Zhenbei Army. From now on, I will turn over a new leaf!"

......

Soon, just as King Zhenbei was about to read out the name, a dozen people spoke again.

Their words caused an uproar at the scene.

Because this undoubtedly tells everyone that they are not loyal, but spies who want to destroy the entire Zhenbei Army.

The most important thing is that as the voices came out one after another, many people's hearts were shocked!

Surprisingly, there are so many people with improper identities and impure motives who have sneaked into the Zhenbei Army.

And he holds an important position!

This this! ! !

Really, damn it!
