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

After Zhou Zheng finished making the arrangements, everyone was still worried.

Especially Zhou Ping.

"but!"

"How can we determine whether Lei Tong's false surrender was successful?"

This is another quite difficult question.

Once the war begins and once they enter the imperial court's garrison, they will be cut off from contact with Lei Tong and others.

Even if someone was sent to observe secretly, it would be impossible to discern Lei Tong's every move.

Zhou Ping's question hit the nail on the head. This time, almost everyone gave Zhou Ping a thumbs up.

I have to say, this is an excellent question.

Only by knowing whether Lei Tong's false surrender was successful can they determine whether the subsequent plan can proceed as Zhou Zheng imagined.

Otherwise, they also have no chance.

"It's very simple."

This time, it was Lei Tong who spoke first.

He grinned, quite calmly, without any sign of panic or fear.

"Your Majesty, please give me a pack of explosives."

"If surrender fails, I will definitely ignite the explosive pack and blow myself up on the spot,"

Lei Tong's voice was very flat, as if he was talking about something insignificant, but everyone knew that the more he downplayed it, the more it showed Lei Tong's attitude of being ready to die.

Only such a person could say such words in such a calm tone.

Putting aside the emotions, Lei Tong's method is definitely a good one.

The noise made by the exploding gunpowder bag was very loud, even completely different from the sound of cold weapons.

In this way, even at a certain distance, it can be clearly sensed.

The most important thing is that everyone knows that Zhou Zheng has a gunpowder bag, and using one will not reveal the secret that Zhou Zheng now has a musket.

However, such means are a huge challenge for Lei Tong.

Such a challenge might even cause Lei Tong to suffer greater pain before his death.

"it is good!"

Zhou Zheng slowly closed his eyes. His voice was a little low and even trembling, but he finally nodded in agreement.

He knew very well that this might be one of the few options available.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have lived an honorable life."

Noticing Zhou Zheng's emotional change, Lei Tong began to comfort Zhou Zheng.

At this moment, he thought of the first time he met Zhou Zheng. He thought that Zhou Zheng was only seventeen or eighteen years old at that time. They lived and died together, and they fought side by side.

In a flash, several years passed, and Zhou Zheng had long since shed his former immaturity and became the co-leader of the Great Zhou.

Once, he stood on Zhou Zheng's side, regardless of everything, and protected Zhou Zheng to ascend to the throne of emperor.

Now, he stood on Zhou Zheng's side again, using his own life to protect Zhou Zheng's throne as emperor.

At this moment, their fate completed a beautiful closed loop.

Thinking in this way, my life is truly the most glorious.

"If I cannot complete the mission successfully this time..."

"I hope Your Majesty will not blame me too much."

With a bitter smile, Lei Tong then turned around, knelt down in front of Zhou Zheng, and kowtowed three times.

He didn't say much nonsense, nor did he have much will, but his eyes were a little moist, but his pupils were unusually firm.

He once said that his life, Lei Tong's, belonged to Zhou Zheng.

Now, it seems that the time has come to fulfill his promise.

Hearing the sound of kowtow coming from his ears, Zhou Zheng's heart was in turmoil.

He tried to open his eyes countless times, but in the end he didn't have the courage.

He once said that he would protect everyone around him whom he wanted to protect, but this time, it seemed that Zhou Zheng was going to break his promise.

Because, he might even have personally sent the person closest to him to the guillotine and to the cliff of death!
