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

Ok?

Zhou Ping entered the inner courtyard and did not come out for a long time.

This sudden change made the people queuing behind feel a little suspicious.

Even the guards looked surprised.

You know, in the past, it took each person a maximum of one minute to enter the inner courtyard, and many even only took a few breaths.

But it had been several minutes since Zhou Ping entered.

Why hasn’t it come out yet?!

Not only them, but even Zhou Zheng, Yun Yun and others were also very nervous. They stared at the gate of the inner courtyard, wanting to know what was happening inside.

Unfortunately, the distance was too far, and they not only couldn't see, they couldn't even hear the sound.

At this time, inside the inner courtyard.

Xiao Mu suddenly stood up from his seat, and some ripples and fluctuations finally appeared in his cloudy eyes.

"Where's His Majesty?!"

"Where is His Majesty now!?"

He recognized Zhou Ping at a glance, and his voice was a little hurried and panicked as he asked.

"Boss is safe now, but Lord, has something happened in Zhenbei Palace?"

Zhou Ping turned his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xiao Mu was safe and sound.

However, Zhou Ping did not directly say that Zhou Zheng was outside the door, but was quite cautious.

After all, the behavior of the Zhenbei Palace this time was indeed too abnormal.

The most important thing is that he clearly felt that King Zhenbei seemed to care about Zhou Zheng very much, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

"It's not that something happened in Zhenbei Palace."

"Something happened in the North."

Xiao Mu let out a deep breath, and a hint of cold murderous intent gradually emerged in his eyes.

He lowered his voice and his palms tightened involuntarily.

Feeling the murderous aura and oppression from Xiao Mu, Zhou Ping's heart sank, and then his eyelids kept twitching.

He rarely saw Xiao Mu, who was as steady as a mountain, behave in such an abnormal way.

Something happened in the North?

When Zhou Ping heard this, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated and his voice trembled slightly.

What is the Northern Territory? !

It is the most important battle line in the north of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and also the defense line that determines the survival of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The King of Zhenbei has been in charge of the northern border for more than twenty years, so it can be said that he has deep roots!

In the northern border, the words of the King of Zhenbei are, to some extent, more effective than those of the current emperor.

Who dares to cause trouble in the North? !

Are you going to die?!

"But this is not the most important thing now. The most important thing is, Your Majesty!"

His pupils flickered, and Xiao Mu lowered his voice a lot, even with a hint of solemnity in his voice.

"Boss, what's wrong!?"

Sure enough, things are not simple.

"Someone wants to assassinate your majesty, and has made a careful plan."

"Once His Majesty shows up, I'm afraid it will be very dangerous!"

Xiao Mu did not dare to be negligent and directly pointed out the key point.

Buzz! ! ! !

Zhou Ping felt his head buzzing, and even the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

Following Zhou Zheng, Zhou Ping naturally knew that countless people in the world wanted Zhou Zheng dead.

But they simply disdain ordinary assassinations.

However, if the assassination happened in the northern border, then things would be different.

If we are not careful, it is very likely that the Great Zhou Dynasty will change and the Xiao family will be wiped out!

The danger involved made Zhou Ping feel scared just thinking about it.

"Since Your Majesty knows that someone is going to take action, why doesn't he deal with it cleanly in the northern border?!"

Zhou Ping was very puzzled.

The King of Zhenbei is the true ruler of the northern border.

Who dares to cause trouble under his nose! ?

With the ability of King Zhenbei, he can completely wipe it out in a breath.

But why didn’t it happen this time?!

What on earth happened?

Moreover, this trip north to Yuan Dynasty is a top secret matter.

No one else in the court knew about it except Gong Tan and Mu Yun.

As for the northern border, only a handful of core talents such as Xiao Mu and Xiao Guan knew about it.

Why in this situation, someone still tried to assassinate Zhou Zheng in the northern border? !

Xiao Mu knew, why didn't he deal with these people?

Thinking of this, beads of cold sweat began to seep out of Zhou Ping's head.

Even if he completely believed in the relationship between King Zhenbei and Zhou Zheng, all the current signs showed that the real problem might lie with King Zhenbei.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping involuntarily took a step back.

There was even a hint of fear and suspicion in the look in his eyes when he looked at Xiao Mu.

In this world, if someone wanted to attack Zhou Zheng, the person who would be most likely to succeed would probably be King Zhenbei.

In the court, some ministers had secretly reminded that the King of Zhenbei had too much power and it was difficult for the court to control him.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zheng never took it seriously.

Because, trust!

But Zhou Ping knew better that in this world, countless people would be sacrificed on the road to imperial power.

If one day, one could ascend to the throne, who wouldn’t want to give it a try! ?

Could it be that the King of Zhenbei could no longer hold back his ambitions?

When this thought appeared, it began to grow wildly in Zhou Ping's heart like weeds.

Especially when he thought that Zhou Zheng was right now in the Zhenbei Palace, just outside the inner courtyard, sweat began to seep out of Zhou Ping's palms.

Although there are Ganmo and muskets.

But all of this is completely useless under the power of King Zhenbei.

Zhou Ping gritted his teeth and even prepared himself to not reveal any information about Zhou Zheng even if he was tortured to death today.

Noticing Zhou Ping's mood change, Xiao Mu was stunned, then his face looked a little helpless.

Obviously, he had guessed what Zhou Ping was thinking.

"Sir, I am the King of Zhenbei of the Great Zhou. I am loyal and have no second thoughts."

"Personally, I am your maternal grandfather, and I will never do anything that is detrimental to your majesty."

Xiao Mu hurried to explain.

Unfortunately, these explanations seemed pale and powerless to Zhou Ping.

Because, unless King Zhenbei is willing, everything before would not make sense.

Why didn't the imperial court send anyone to congratulate? !

Why did the King of Zhenbei invite the whole world to a banquet?

Why are the guards in Zhenbei Palace so nervous?

Why did someone know that Zhou Zheng was in the northern border?

Why did the King of Zhenbei not take action even though he knew someone was going to assassinate him? !

All of these have made the answer very clear.

Therefore, no matter what explanation Xiao Mu made, it was meaningless in Zhou Ping's opinion.

Seeing Zhou Ping's face ready to die, Xiao Mu wanted to go up and slap him twice.

Is this person sick?!

Are you suffering from paranoia?!

Forcibly suppressing the fluctuations in his heart, King Zhenbei knew very well that now was not the time to talk too much nonsense.

The most urgent task is to find Zhou Zheng.

"Because, the king, has lost control of the northern land."

Finally, King Zhenbei let out a long sigh, his eyes full of desolation.

And this sentence suddenly made Zhou Ping raise his head with a look of disbelief!
