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

Thousands of spies were killed by the sword.

They thought about resisting and they kept cursing, but unfortunately it was useless in the face of absolute power.

If these thousands of people were to attack regardless of the consequences, the entire Zhenbei Army would suffer heavy losses.

Unfortunately, they chose to lay down their weapons, chose to reveal their identities, and chose to leave.

It was this wrong decision that cost them their lives.

Looking at the corpses all over the city and smelling the pungent smell of blood in the air, Xiao Mu's face became extremely heavy.

Seeing Xiao Mu's look, Zhou Zheng did not try to comfort him. He knew very well how touching today's events were for Xiao Mu.

But this world has always been like this, nothing is absolutely perfect.

The fact that Xiao Mu was able to come up with such a solution was already the greatest protection for the Zhenbei Army, and it also minimized their losses. Otherwise, a bloody battle would not be of any benefit to Zhou Zheng and the others.

The entire sky also turned red under the influence of blood.

The aura of death permeated the entire city, making it seem like purgatory and giving people an extreme sense of terror.

And those Zhenbei Army soldiers who had killed people were cheering loudly at this time. They seemed to be celebrating that they had done something quite remarkable, singing and dancing.

But, they seemed to have forgotten that these people were brothers to them before!

This may be what makes Xiao Mu most uncomfortable.

He thought of countless possibilities, but he never expected that the Zhenbei Army would have such an attitude.

In the past, even the Zhenbei Army that he led would kill those spies without hesitation, but they would feel heavy and sad in their hearts and would never do so.

Today, these Zhenbei soldiers can be so cold-blooded and bloody to their brothers, which means that the next time they point their butcher knives at the King of Zhenbei, they will not hesitate.

He naturally knew that obedience was the nature of the military.

But at the same time, these elites are also human beings.

As long as one is a human being, he or she will have emotions and desires, and will have his or her own thoughts and attitudes, and will never be so ruthless.

Zhou Zheng naturally saw through Xiao Mu's thoughts. He sighed softly. Zhou Zheng knew that Xiao Mu had to deal with this matter on his own.

But when Zhou Zheng saw Xiao Mu's look, he became more certain that the Zhenbei Army would no longer have any meaning or necessity to exist after this decisive battle.

Because the Zhenbei Army in Xiao Mu's mind should not be like this, and absolutely cannot be like this.

"I have already issued an order to reward the army."

Zhou Zheng's voice was very soft, and this sentence finally made Xiao Mu feel a little relieved.

He was no longer at the age where he cared about money and power, but he knew that if he could not appease the Zhenbei Army today, the situation would gradually get out of control.

However, Xiao Mu did not have the face to ask Zhou Zheng for help again.

Fortunately, Zhou Zheng is very good at manipulating people's hearts.

Just saying that they were all heroes made the Zhenbei Army shift their attention again and even feel grateful to Zhou Zheng.

Unfortunately, no one knows that they no longer have any meaning or value in Zhou Zheng's heart.

You know, the partner Zhou Zheng needs is not someone who is ruthless and turns his back on others.

They could kill the rebels, but at least they should not show that kind of madness and excitement.

For some reason, Zhou Zheng suddenly felt that this Zhenbei Army gave him a very unfamiliar feeling.

They were so unfamiliar that Zhou Zheng seemed unwilling to have any contact with them.

"Boss, those corpses..."

Zhou Ping came slowly, with a hint of worry in his words.

Thousands of corpses were scattered throughout the city, and just cleaning them up was a huge task.

"Burn it."

Zhou Zheng did not hesitate. He had no good feelings towards these spies. They deserved to die. So even if they were members of the Zhenbei Army before, in Zhou Zheng's eyes they should not be buried.

Burning it with fire is also to prevent the outbreak of an epidemic.

"Yes!"

Zhou Ping did not hesitate. He had wanted to kill these spies from the beginning, and now he was about to get his wish.

Moreover, the death of several thousand people was a good thing for Zhou Ping. Not only could it prevent someone from stabbing him in the back during the war, but more importantly, he knew better than anyone that with so many fewer people, it meant that their food rations could last longer.

Soon, a raging fire broke out outside the city.

The raging fire shot up into the sky, illuminating half the sky and making the night seem as bright as day.

Just looking at the blazing fire, Zhou Zheng and others were unable to raise their interest.

They didn't know when the decisive battle would take place, but their intuition told them that it wouldn't be long.

At the same time, fifty miles away from where Zhou Zheng and his team were stationed, some figures quietly appeared.

These people, dressed in white and carrying heavy objects, were slowly heading towards the north of the Great Zhou.

Their movements were not slow, and they even stopped from time to time.

The goods they were escorting were sold on the spot.

Obviously, to the world, this is just a caravan.

In the Great Zhou, even now the world is in chaos and there are countless killings, especially with the two emperors fighting each other, a war is about to break out.

In such a dangerous situation, many civilians stayed indoors.

Those high-ranking officials value their lives even more than gold.

However, there is a special identity that is still quite active in the Great Zhou.

This identity is a businessman!

Merchants continuously sold goods from all over the Great Zhou to various places. This not only strengthened the connections between various places, but most importantly, it allowed the people of the Great Zhou to meet their basic needs.

Ever since the Su family was suppressed by Emperor Tianjing, many aristocratic families have started to do business again.

The more chaotic the times, the more they can reap extremely high profit margins and make a fortune.

Of course, it is the common people who suffer.

In addition, the imperial court was also cheated of a lot of money.

Of course, the imperial court was well aware of all of this. Not only did they not think it was wrong, but they felt that these caravans did not earn enough, because behind these caravans were high-ranking officials in the court.

They would love to be able to share the wealth from the national disaster generously.

As for those who really suffer, it is the common people who have no money and power.

But how could these big landlords and gentry care about the life and death of these ordinary people? !

Therefore, the more turbulent the war, the more active the caravan activities.

However, these caravans have their own exclusive logos and customs documents.

Otherwise, if an ordinary caravan wanted to operate within the Great Zhou, it would be interrogated countless times.

At this time, looking at the caravan fifty miles away, there were hundreds of people in it.

There were also hundreds of horses and dozens of cows accompanying them.

They were carrying heavy cargo and moving slowly towards the north.

Along the way, they had no idea how many times they had been questioned, intercepted by local officials, and the military, etc., but without exception, they had all passed safely in the end.

Because this caravan has a different name.

It’s the “Sky Eagle” caravan!

The Sky Eagle Caravan is well-known throughout the Great Zhou.

Because the person behind him is none other than the prime minister of the current dynasty!

The prime minister is second only to one emperor and above everyone else.

After Emperor Tianjing suppressed the Su family, the Prime Minister's Sky Eagle Caravan came into being.

Moreover, it began to continuously erode the Su family's business and gradually began to control the economic lifeline of the Great Zhou.

Of course, the prime minister was quite sensible at the beginning and kept handing over the money he earned to the court. This made Emperor Tianjing very happy and he allowed the Sky Eagle Caravan to grow.

How big is the Sky Eagle Caravan now? !

No one knows, perhaps not even the prime minister himself.

It is said that the Sky Eagle Caravan has thousands of guards and tens of thousands of merchants following them to do business. Their business is spread all over the country and they are very famous.

It was precisely because they were the Sky Eagle Caravan that nothing bad happened on their journey north.

However, this time no one noticed that the Sky Eagle Caravan seemed a little different.

In particular, there is a familiar face here.

If Zhou Ping and others were here, they would definitely notice that this face was none other than Yan Pan!

Similarly, the people following Yan Pan naturally could not be real members of the Sky Eagle Caravan!

"Boss, another fifty miles ahead is where His Majesty is stationed!"

A voice whispered.

After hearing this, Yan Pan finally let go of his worries.
