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

In the city, Zhou Zheng did not sleep all night.

For some reason, he always felt uneasy in his heart last night, and had a vague sense of foreboding.

He hasn't appeared in this state for many years.

"Yan Pan and others, haven't arrived yet?!"

Finally, when the first ray of sunlight poured down on the earth, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but call Zhou Ping and others in.

According to the plan and agreement, Yan Pan and others should have brought gunpowder and firearms here to meet them at this time.

"I'm afraid there will be pursuers from the imperial court along the way. In addition, the mountain road ahead is rugged, so it's normal to be delayed for some time."

"Don't worry too much, Boss."

Zhou Ping obviously noticed that Zhou Zheng was not in a good condition at the moment. He frowned slightly and then responded quickly.

This kind of response, although not a big problem in the eyes of others, was a huge problem in Zhou Zheng's eyes.

Yan Pan has followed Zhou Zheng for many years, and he knows Yan Pan's character too well.

If he wasn't 100% sure, he wouldn't have told himself the expected arrival time.

"His Majesty!"

"Yan Pan is back!"

At this moment, Lei Tong rushed to Zhou Zheng with a hint of excitement on his face. He knelt down and quickly reported the news.

This news finally made Zhou Zheng and others relax the tense nerves in their hearts.

As long as Yan Pan arrives, everything will be happy.

It seems that this also means that Zhou Zheng's sleepless night last night was meaningless.

"go!"

After hearing this, Zhou Zheng was also delighted. He didn't care about anything else and hurried outside. He wanted to go and greet Yan Pan in person.

After all, this is their great contribution.

Yan Pan's arrival was enough to prove that the muskets and gunpowder had arrived, and they would have enough strength to fight a decisive battle with the imperial court.

However, when everyone followed Zhou Zheng out, when they saw Yan Pan for the first time, everyone's face suddenly darkened.

Yan Pan was obviously exhausted to the extreme at this time. His eyes were cloudy and his body was shaking from exhaustion due to walking for a long time. He even had difficulty standing.

Most importantly, they could clearly sense a strong sense of anger and murderous intent in Yan Pan.

This is definitely not the state Yan Pan should be in when he sees Zhou Zheng.

If there is, it can only be a possibility, that is, something has gone wrong!

Something happened?!

When these two words appeared in everyone's mind, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath, and when they glanced around, the ominous feeling in their hearts became more and more obvious.

Because, from beginning to end, they only saw Yan Pan.

Initially, in order to transport the gunpowder and muskets back, the King of Zhenbei sent out more than 300 people.

These more than 300 people are the absolute elite of the Zhenbei Army. They are the ones he trusts the most and also the ones with the strongest combat effectiveness.

Even a thousand elite troops would not be able to completely swallow up these three hundred people.

Could it be that all three hundred elite soldiers are gone? !

Is the court acting too quickly?

But now King Zhou Yong could not care about anything else. He knew that these more than 300 people could not betray him. There might be only one possibility for this situation, that is, the 300,000 troops of the imperial court discovered them.

But why did three hundred people die in the battle, but Yan Pan is still alive?

The most important thing is that although Yan Pan looked quite embarrassed at this time, he did not seem to have any direct injuries.

Perhaps only Yan Pan knows what happened along the way.

"His Majesty!"

At the same time, Yan Pan choked up. The first time he saw Zhou Zheng, he knelt down and then spoke with a trembling voice.

"Speak slowly!"

Zhou Zheng had already noticed something was wrong, and he hurriedly helped Yan Pan up.

He knew that Yan Pan and the more than 300 Zhenbei troops would never betray him.

So something must have happened in between.

"I brought the things back. They are only ten miles away from here."

"Please send someone to pick them up quickly."

Hoo ho ho! ! !

Yan Pan's words finally put everyone at ease. Even Xiao Mu wanted to go up and slap Yan Pan twice.

This guy gasps for breath when he speaks and can't finish his words in one breath, so they have to fill in a lot of information in their minds.

"Your Majesty, I will go there myself!"

Xiao Mu took the initiative to step forward at this time. He had already realized that Yan Pan must have wanted to bring the news back as soon as possible, so he was desperately walking to the front alone.

Since these were muskets that the Zhenbei Army helped to escort, it was normal for him, the King of Zhenbei, to come forward specifically to receive them.

"Ok!"

"When the brothers come back, remember to reward them handsomely!"

Zhou Zheng didn't hesitate but nodded.

Not to mention that these Zhenbei troops are the elite of the entire Zhenbei Army, just the muskets they brought back this time are a great achievement.

No matter how important the reward is, in Zhou Zheng's opinion, it is not excessive.

After receiving the order, Xiao Mu led his men straight out of the city.

He knew better than anyone that the most urgent task now was to bring back the muskets and gunpowder.

But when everyone was immersed in joy, the sadness and worry on Zhou Zheng's face did not dissipate, but became even heavier.

"Is there anything else?"

With a frown on his face, Zhou Zheng continued asking.

This question made Yan Pan lower his head and remain silent for a long time.

"Your Majesty, please, avenge the one hundred brothers who were left behind!"

After a long time, Yan Pan looked up again, but this time, when he looked at Zhou Zheng, his eyes were already wet and tears as big as beans kept dripping.

You know, Yan Pan had already experienced countless life and death disasters, and he had fought countless times. Not to mention crying, he had never even complained.

Therefore, when everyone saw Yan Pan's reaction at this time, the smiles on their faces disappeared and their expressions became more serious.

One hundred brothers left behind! ?

What does it mean! ?

Afterwards, at Zhou Zheng's request, Yan Pan told him everything that happened at night.

Yan Pan's words were full of regret while he was crying.

He wanted to stay and fight side by side, and he also wanted to avenge his brothers, but he didn't do it, and instead left with his other brothers.

He knew better than anyone what the final outcome would be for the one hundred brothers who stayed behind.

He understood better than anyone that the final fate of those brothers would definitely not be as simple as death.

They may have to use up all their blood and strength, and even end up with no body left.

Because only in this way can they buy time for them to escort the muskets and gunpowder.

He just hated that he couldn't stay.

However, he was unwilling to do so.

I am unwilling to see these brothers die like this.

But he didn't have the ability to take revenge on his own.

He could only place his hopes on Zhou Zheng, could only pin his hopes on Zhou Zheng, could only hope that Zhou Zheng could win a great victory in the decisive battle and avenge these one hundred brothers.

Because, if it weren't for these one hundred brothers, they would have definitely been caught up by the pursuers.

Not only would they die, but all the musket powder and gunpowder would also be wiped out.

"damn it!"

Zhou Ping clenched his fists, veins bulged on his face, and his voice was also a little hoarse at this time.

There were even tears in his eyes.

He was already accustomed to life and death on the battlefield, but this method still moved him.

He knew very well that those one hundred people were actually unnecessary.

But they did it anyway.

It's nothing more than the belief in their hearts!

How could such a person die like this!

"Boss, I'll send someone over right now to kill them!"

"Revenge for our dead brothers!"

Zhou Ping couldn't bear to see hundreds of people die in battle like this. He was unwilling and unwilling to accept it.

If this situation really happens, it would be revenge.

At least, it will make him feel a little better.

If they didn't make any movement or have any thoughts when hundreds of people died in battle, or even just treated it as an ordinary and insignificant thing, Zhou Ping would not be able to get over the hurdle in his heart.

The others didn't say anything, but they were equally shocked in their hearts.

He took a deep breath and finally set his eyes on Zhou Zheng.

They were waiting, waiting for Zhou Zheng's order, and then they would do everything they could to avenge those hundred brothers.

Even though this would put them in great danger, they didn't care, not at all.

"rest assured!"

"This time, I will go in person!"
