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

Why? !

Their eyes met, and if it weren't for the outstanding temperament and decent background of the woman in front of him, Zhou Zheng would have kicked her out as a fool just by her tone of voice.

Ten thousand elites? !

Still experienced in many battles? !

Not to mention in Xiang County, it is an incredible army in the imperial court!

How could a mere prostitute have the qualifications and courage to say such arrogant words? !

"Is it?"

"Then take a look at this list first."

The woman handed a roster to Zhou Zheng.

When Zhou Zheng glanced at the roster with suspicious eyes, his expression was suddenly startled, and then his pupils shrank to the size of pinholes, staring at the woman.

Because Zhou Zheng has never met the people on this list, but he has heard of them!

Especially the person at the head of the list is Xiao Guan!

The uncle who loves Zhou Zheng the most, Xiao Guan!

The others on the list are all well-known generals in the Northern Territory. They have gone through hundreds of battles, experienced life and death, and made countless meritorious deeds in the Great Zhou Dynasty!

It can be said that these people are truly strong and elite!

Zhou Zheng's heartbeat was accelerating. When he looked at the woman in front of him, he no longer had the initial desire to bathe in flames.

"Could it be that she is grandpa's person?!"

"But why have I never heard Grandpa mention it?!"

Zhou Zheng looked complicated, but the names on the list would never be fake.

"These people are all in the north."

"What do you have to do with them!?"

Countless doubts arose in Zhou Zheng's mind. But at this time, his defensiveness towards women has obviously weakened a lot.

Being able to get this list is enough to show that the woman in front of him is someone Xiao Mu can absolutely trust.

Because these generals who have experienced hundreds of battles have followed Xiao Mu through life and death, and they are absolutely loyal people!

"It seems that you don't know much about the situation in the northern land."

Seeing Zhou Zheng's surprised expression, the woman was also a little surprised.

However, the Zhenbei Army was subsequently laid off, and Xiao Mu was forced to dismiss 10,000 elites and informed Zhou Zheng.

Bang!

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng's face darkened, and then he slammed his clenched fist on the table.

The huge force shattered the corners of the table.

"Crossing the river and burning the bridge, the rabbit dies and the fox cooks?!"

"The imperial court is really interesting."

Zhou Zheng clenched his fists tightly, and the few words he squeezed out from between his teeth were filled with a strong chill.

In recent years, Zhenbei Hou has been very cautious, fearing any violation of the rules, and even the entire Xiao family has kept a low profile.

I didn't expect that even so, it would still come to this point.

The imperial court's reduction of troops to Zhenbei Hou was undoubtedly a disguised suppression of the Xiao family.

Once they lose their military power, the Xiao family's strength will inevitably decline significantly.

"For the so-called peace of mind, do you even disregard the safety of the northern land?"

The situation in the northern border was planned by Zhou Zheng

But Zhou Zheng never expected that the imperial court would be eager to take action as soon as the danger in Daxia was lifted.

"So, these ten thousand elites are soldiers from the northern region?"

Zhou Zheng is a smart man and quickly figured out the key point.

"Yes, these ten thousand elites are enough to equal ten."

The woman nodded proudly.

These ten thousand elites followed the Marquis of Zhenbei on his expeditions to the north and south, charging into battle. It can be said that they killed countless enemies and made them frightened!

Whoever has such an elite team in their hands is crazy enough.

Hearing this, Zhou Zheng's breathing quickened a lot.

In Xiang County right now, what he fears most is not the resistance of the squires and landlords, nor the lack of cooperation from the officials, but the lack of troops at his disposal.

If such a team could be mobilized, then why should Zhou Zheng be afraid of it? !

If you don't obey, just kill him!

It doesn't matter whether you are one of the five major families in Xiang County or a local wealthy family, you can just give the order and stamp it out.

"where are they?!"

"They are all in Xiang County. As long as I give the order, we can gather together at any time."

The woman had a charming smile on her face.

The moment Xiao Mu dismissed these ten thousand elites, the woman had secretly brought them back together.

In order to avoid being noticed by the court, the woman dispersed these ten thousand people and finally gathered them in Xiangjun!

In this way, no one is aware of it!

"Thank you!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng stood up and cupped his fists towards the woman.

He knew that these ten thousand elites were the hard work of Zhenbei Hou for more than ten years or even longer.

The woman can find a way to keep these people, just to let Zhenbei Hou still have a little thought.

Of course, Zhou Zheng knew better that it was difficult to gather these ten thousand people, but it was even harder to support these ten thousand people!

This is a great feeling!

Although Zhou Zheng knew that the relationship between Zhenbei Hou and the woman in front of him must not be simple, at this juncture, he dared to do this at the risk of being convicted by the court. For this alone, Zhou Zheng was extremely grateful.

"So, do you believe what I say now?!"

"As long as you are willing, these ten thousand people can obey your command at any time."

The woman held her pointed chin, with a charming smile, and lightly opened her red lips.

Zhou Zheng naturally knew that the key to all this was probably because of Grandpa Zhenbeihou's relationship.

If it weren't for the intention of Marquis Zhenbei, he would not believe that the beautiful woman in front of him would travel thousands of miles to Xiangjun to help him.

"I will find a way to give you some money."

After thinking for a while, Zhou Zheng knew that no matter how rich a woman was, it would not be easy for a woman to support an army of ten thousand people.

Fortunately, Zhou Zheng's waist was still quite bulging at this time.

"Oh?"

"How much can you give me?!"

The woman's beautiful eyes turned with curiosity on her face.

"One million taels of silver."

One million taels of silver, Zhou Zheng said in a calm tone.

But this number made the originally elegant woman stunned for a moment, and then her beautiful eyes shrank to the size of a pinhole, staring at Zhou Zheng, as if she wanted to see through Zhou Zheng's lies.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zheng was not lying at all.

"The Marquis approves of you, but he still underestimates you."

Taking a slight breath, the woman spoke softly, as if talking to herself.

She had long known that Zhou Zheng had no savings over the years.

He also knew that Zhou Zheng was not favored.

Not to mention one million taels, even three to five thousand taels would be quite difficult to come up with!

But now, how could she not be surprised that she actually has such financial resources?

"I have already arranged the lives of these people."

"So I don't need your money."

"Although you are entrusted by the Marquis, if you want to use these people, it is not without conditions."

Her eyebrows turned, and a smile appeared on the woman's face again.

And this smile made Zhou Zheng feel a little uneasy.

For a woman who doesn't even value a million dollars, the conditions she proposed may not be simple.

"you say!"

"It's simple, I want to be the woman behind you."

The corners of his mouth were raised, and the perfect arc combined with the light in his eyes made Zhou Zheng's heart instantly rise to his throat!

The woman behind it? !

Could it be possible? Do you want it? ...

Grumpy Grumpy!

Although Zhou Zheng had vaguely guessed some possibilities, when he heard the woman's words with his own ears, he still couldn't help but feel nervous.

Is this woman serious? !

Their eyes met, Zhou Zheng turned his head away with some thoughts.

"What, you don't want to?!"

The woman's body leaned forward slightly, and those Xu Botao looked more upright and majestic in Zhou Zheng's eyes.

The delicate air she exhaled made Zhou Zheng's heart beat faster.

"Damn it, mature women really have some tricks up their sleeves!"
