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

"Oh?"

The Prime Minister's words really made Zhou Zheng's long sword hang one foot away from his neck.

Zhou Zheng frowned slightly, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes: "Is there anyone in this world that I dare not kill?"

Zhou Zheng stared at the prime minister in front of him with interest. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill the prime minister. After all, in Zhou Zheng's eyes, killing the prime minister was an easy task.

As long as he wants, he can completely erase it at any time.

Feeling that the breath of death was temporarily suppressed, the prime minister's anxious heart finally relaxed a little.

"Of course you dare to kill me."

"But now, you can't kill me."

Beads of sweat had already begun to drip down his forehead, but the Prime Minister didn't care too much about his image. He knew Zhou Zheng's patience was limited, and he knew that if he continued to play tricks here and really angered Zhou Zheng, he would probably die.

After clearing his cough, the Prime Minister looked up at Zhou Zheng again.

This time his eyes did not evade, he gritted his teeth, and there was even a hint of madness and stubbornness on his face.

It’s not because the Prime Minister is brave, nor because the Prime Minister is stupid and doesn’t know the seriousness of the matter, but because the Prime Minister is gambling!

The bet that Lei Tong said was true, and Lei Tong would not harm himself.

Lei Tong had said at the beginning that as long as Zhou Zheng followed his way, he would definitely not kill him. Now is the time to test it.

If he really loses, the Prime Minister will have no choice.

But if I win the bet, I will be remembered forever.

After all, being able to escape from Zhou Zheng's hands alive is by no means an easy thing.

"I want to know why I can't kill you."

Zhou Zheng leaned forward slightly, his pupils shrank into holes, then the corners of his mouth rose, staring at the Prime Minister and asked in a deep voice, word by word.

"Because I have an army of thirty thousand men."

"You have 50,000 elite soldiers in the city behind you."

"This is why you can't kill me."

The Prime Minister spoke directly, but his reason made Zhou Zheng stunned. Then he smiled, his eyes full of contempt.

"Do you think that a 300,000-man army is your confidence? That you can completely suppress me?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head, his eyes full of disdain.

What kind of brain circuit is this?!

"Of course, an army of three hundred thousand cannot truly achieve absolute suppression, but the price of killing me is probably not something Your Majesty can easily accept."

The Prime Minister calmed himself down a little, and then felt a little more confident in his heart.

He is a smart man, and he is best at observing people's words and expressions.

The Zhou Zheng in front of him was definitely not angry, but rather had a hint of surprise. As long as there was surprise, he would have a chance.

Since ancient times, wealth and honor have been sought through risk.

At the beginning, the prime minister disregarded everything and threw himself into the hands of the five ancient families just for the throne of emperor.

He made the right bet, so he was promised the throne by the five ancient families.

Now, he still wants to take a gamble!

As long as he bets that he can return alive to the camp of 300,000 troops, he can go down in history and become a saintly king!

Will I lose the bet?

The Prime Minister didn't know, but he was willing to choose to believe Lei Tong once.

"Lei Tong, Lei Tong, now it's up to you!"

Taking a deep breath, the Prime Minister raised his head again. He knew that he must not be cowardly now, he must not lose his momentum, and he must not let Zhou Zheng see any flaws.

"I am very curious."

"So, now I'm giving you a chance to explain."

"However, you'd better say something useful. Otherwise, when my long sword falls, it will take your head."

The cold light flashed again in Zhou Zheng's pupils.

But this time, there was an unquestionable touch in the cold light.

Just this one look made the prime minister feel a little chilly. He knew that Zhou Zheng was not joking and would definitely not joke at this time.

"Today, I have come here and have achieved my goal."

"If you kill me, the 300,000-strong army will surely fight to the death, regardless of life or death. By then, will this city wall really be able to stop them?!"

"Can those 50,000 so-called elite troops really stop us?"

The Prime Minister's first words were sonorous and powerful.

What he said is correct, and it is also the most direct and common reason on Weibo.

It is true that the Prime Minister is their leader, but today the Prime Minister is standing here, fighting Zhou Zheng alone. Any man would be excited. Moreover, the court has already issued an order to kill him. No matter who dies, the 300,000-strong army cannot retreat.

So they must fight regardless of the consequences and fight to the death.

The fighting capacity under that morale is absolutely incomparable to what we have now.

Zhou Zheng didn't show any emotional change when he heard this, because in his opinion, all this was normal.

The so-called normal thing refers to the decisive battle between the two sides, which is not a surprise.

Zhou Zheng's expressionless look did not surprise the Prime Minister because he knew that Zhou Zheng had never cared about this.

"If you kill me now, I can guarantee that when the city is captured, all 50,000 elite soldiers will be slaughtered!"

"I can guarantee that no one will be left alive in the city!"

"By then, except for you who might survive, no one, whether it's Xiao Mu, Xiao Guan, or the woman around you, will survive!"

This time the Prime Minister's voice was a little more serious, and even his voice was raised a lot.

He was not just making a threat, but stating an objective fact.

On the day the city was broken, the whole city was massacred!

"You, are you threatening me?"

"If you think this will work, then I can only say that you are too naive."

"This time, will both sides fight to the death? Who will survive on the losing side?"

Zhou Zheng snorted coldly, but the murderous intent in his voice had obviously increased a lot.

Even with his brows furrowed, his last bit of patience seemed to be exhausted.

The Prime Minister certainly noticed this subtle change in expression, but the more he noticed it, the stronger his sense of certainty became.

Because all of Zhou Zheng’s reactions now were exactly the same as Lei Tong had imagined.

In other words, all of this had evolved in the Prime Minister's mind before.

In this case, there is only one possibility, that is, everything is under the control of the Prime Minister and everything is within his own plan.

Even the prime minister could believe that he had at least a 60% chance of returning to the camp alive.

"But!"

"Your Majesty, is winning guaranteed?!"

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what would happen if you lost?"

This time, the Prime Minister straightened his back a lot, and even his voice became a little louder.

This feeling was like the initiative was beginning to flow in his direction without him noticing.

So, so good!

As expected, this time, Zhou Zheng did not respond.

His face was solemn and his brows were furrowed, which said it all.

Fifty thousand versus three hundred thousand. In the past, Zhou Zheng would not have panicked at all.

But the 50,000 this time were no longer the elite 50,000 Zhenbei Army, and some of them had ulterior motives.

At the same time, there is no support and no muskets, so you can only take a gamble.

But even if the bet is won, what is the price? !

The court will not give him any breathing space at all.

Therefore, in the Prime Minister's view, Zhou Zheng had already prepared for the decisive battle, and even prepared to die.

But so what? !

What he really cared about was not whether Zhou Zheng was ready for a fight to the death, but Zhou Zheng's weaknesses.

As long as one is human, he or she has his or her weaknesses.

Zhou Zheng is no exception.

Just this generation is enough!

His hesitation made the Prime Minister 100% certain that what Lei Tong said about Zhou Zheng's weakness was real.

What the Prime Minister needs to take advantage of now is exactly this weakness of Zhou Zheng.

Thinking of this, the corners of the prime minister's mouth twitched and his heart beat faster.

The original decadence has now turned into a hint of excitement.

Has the situation finally turned around?!

"so what?!"

Zhou Zheng did not respond directly to the Prime Minister's question, but raised his head and narrowed his eyes into slits.

"If you kill me, even if the court is defeated, it will only be this time."

"But if you lose, the result won't be as simple as a city massacre."

"For all the soldiers and generals behind you who participated in this decisive battle, regardless of gender, age or status, this battle will not be over."

"The court will definitely settle accounts!"

"We will definitely kill all nine of their clans!"
