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

At the Great Zhou's gunpowder depot, Meng Sheng was secretly cleaning out the traitors.

But everything seemed so calm, without any big moves.

But unfortunately, those who hid in the dark with ulterior motives have already been quietly exposed.

In the end, these people will inevitably become part of Meng Sheng's kill list.

At the same time, in the northern border, a huge event happened and a military meeting was held!

The northern border, under the management of King Zhenbei, has long become a relatively complete system.

The military conference is one of the most important meetings in the entire northern territory.

Normally, it is held once a year.

This can be used to analyze the situation in the Great Xia Kingdom and the northern border, to find out the gaps, identify the shortcomings, and conduct military deductions.

Because of this, the generals in the northern border were already well aware of the attack from the Great Xia Kingdom.

By using methods such as military strategy deduction, their war qualities were greatly trained and their combat capabilities were improved.

However, due to special circumstances in the northern border this year, a military conference has not been held yet.

No matter what, King Zhenbei Xiao Mu is now the supreme ruler of the northern border, so it is reasonable to convene a military meeting in his name.

Even though he has been sidelined, on the surface, the generals still have to obey his arrangements.

After all, now is not the time to completely fall out.

Although some soldiers looked suspicious, most of them were not surprised.

They knew Xiao Mu's character very well. No matter what happened in the court or what happened in the northern border, what Xiao Mu really cared about was the war between the northern border and the Great Xia Kingdom!

From this point of view, Xiao Mu really makes people feel awe and respect.

Therefore, when the order to convene a military conference was received from King Zhenbei, many generals stationed in the northern border, after giving instructions, also headed in the predetermined direction.

Zhenbei Palace!

As in the past, it became the venue for military conferences.

Some generals were hesitant. They knew clearly that although the King of Zhenbei was deposed, it did not mean that he had no power to fight back.

At least, there are tens of thousands of elite troops in the entire Zhenbei Palace.

If any changes occur to this powerful force, these people will be walking into a trap if they go to the Zhenbei Palace.

But apart from this, they seem to have no choice.

If they don't go, there will be a complete fallout, and it will be an open fallout, which may even affect the arrangements of their family background.

If you go, you will be entering a tiger's den, where life and death are unpredictable.

But in the end, these generals went anyway.

Of course, they did not hold back.

Before going to the Zhenbei Palace, they had already secretly instructed their confidants that if anything unexpected happened to them, they should do whatever it takes to control the entire Zhenbei Palace and capture the Zhenbei King alive.

If it really comes to a last resort, you can even take action directly and kill King Zhenbei!

They didn't believe that King Zhenbei really dared to fight to the death!

As the time for the military conference drew closer, everyone in the Zhenbei Palace began to get busy.

However, the depressing atmosphere created by this busyness makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

Everyone is not a fool and has long guessed that this military conference is not simple.

......

"Your Majesty, this is the personnel list."

In the inner hall, Xiao Mu had a solemn expression on his face, and his voice was trembling a little.

As a iron-blooded general, he had experienced countless life and death situations and seen countless battles, but this time, he was still a little panicked.

Not only is this time bound to be a river of blood, but one careless mistake is likely to cause great turmoil in the northern border.

Moreover, many of those who were to be dealt with this time were generals who grew up with the King of Zhenbei.

They were once loyal, brave and resourceful, and they once fought for their country.

However, this time they ultimately chose the aristocratic families behind them and chose another path.

Fighting with the general he had trained personally, the emotional fluctuations were so intense that even Xiao Mu felt a little complicated.

Xiao Guan saw Xiao Mu's solemn expression. He didn't say anything, but his brows were furrowed and he sighed softly, which showed that Xiao Guan was also uneasy.

The cruelest thing in this world is never fighting with the enemy.

On the contrary, fighting with the enemy is exhilarating, reckless and extremely satisfying.

The cruelest thing is killing each other!

That kind of pain transcends life and death!

But Xiao Guan knew very well that this time, they had no choice!

Anyone can stand behind a noble family, but the Xiao family cannot!

Even the Xiao family itself cannot become a noble family.

Because the conflict between the aristocratic families and the imperial power has never been reconcilable.

Between the aristocratic families and Your Majesty, there can only be one side.

If it were any other emperor, he might be able to muddle through, but in front of Zhou Zheng, how could he endure this? !

War is inevitable.

They have no choice!

"There are a total of thirty-six main generals and one hundred and eight lieutenant generals."

"Except for the three main generals and ten lieutenant generals who cannot come in person due to health reasons, all other generals will participate."

Xiao Mu took a deep breath, then looked serious and reported slowly.

These are the backbones of the North!

"Humph, it seems that some people are still trying to be clever at this time."

Zhou Zheng sneered. He naturally knew that those who did not come were probably afraid and cowardly.

He claimed to be ill in order to give himself the best possible protection.

It’s a pity that such tricks are useless in Zhou Zheng’s opinion.

Because these people will all die in the end!

Fortunately, the number is small and will not affect the overall situation.

"Are there still people here who stand on the prince's side?"

Zhou Zheng raised his eyebrows. His voice was not loud, but it was resounding and powerful.

This sentence undoubtedly gave the King of Zhenbei a chance, and also gave those generals a chance.

Unfortunately, what responded to Zhou Zheng was the silence of King Zhenbei.

At this moment, Zhou Zheng already understood that those who left had made a decision and could not be pulled back.

If there was a chance, King Zhenbei would have protected them long ago.

"I, got it."

Zhou Zheng pursed his lips slightly.

He looked at the increasingly aged face of King Zhenbei, and there was a hint of heartache in his eyes.

Because these people were personally selected and trained by King Zhenbei.

But Zhou Zheng knew that he could not hesitate, let alone waver!

There are some things he must do, he must do them!

"Then, let's hold a military meeting!"

"I haven't seen these soldiers guarding the border for a long time!"

"I don't know how they will react when they see me!"

Zhou Zheng's pupils suddenly shrank into pinholes, and then a hint of cold murderous intent burst out from his eyes!

It's time to put an end to it!
