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

Two thousand troops marched towards Yancheng.

For a moment, the atmosphere was solemn!

Gu Jiang and others had already ordered the city gate to be closed tightly, and then began to mobilize the power of the city gate to defend the city wall!

At this time, all the officials gathered in Zhou Zheng's mansion, and everyone's expressions were extremely solemn.

Even the previous excitement of collecting the autumn tax was swept away.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhou Zheng. They knew very well that the purpose of the two thousand troops outside was definitely not simple this time!

You can even use your toes to figure out that behind those people may be the backs of powerful country squires!

"Your Highness, put it down, there are only two thousand people, and they can't make waves!"

Gu Jiang took a deep breath and stood up first.

Although Yancheng is not an important strategic place, its walls are high and deep, making it difficult to break through!

Not to mention a mere 2,000 people, even 10,000 people would not be able to enter it in a short time.

Moreover, Yancheng is one of the most important cities in Xiangjun, with more than 3,000 troops garrisoned there alone.

If the situation is critical, the young and strong men in the city can also be mobilized to form a powerful force.

This is also the reason why Gu Jiang spoke like this at this time!

After hearing Gu Jiang's words, Zhou Pingping, who was originally worried, breathed a sigh of relief.

But Zhou Zheng, who was sitting on the high seat, still looked quite serious now.

Because he knew that things would never be that simple.

Now that it has been determined that the more than two thousand troops outside are the powerful armed forces of the squire, it means that these guys are really rebelling!

But why did they only send two thousand people! ?

Do you think that two thousand people can capture Yancheng and control Zhou Zheng? ?

Unless there is only one possibility, that is that the other party is absolutely sure!

Thinking of this, Zhou Zheng's pupils suddenly dilated.

"Master Gu, all the soldiers are already on defense on the city wall?"

Zhou Zheng's sudden question made Gu Jiang stunned, but he still nodded.

If we don’t go up to the wall to defend ourselves at this time, we might as well open the city gate! ?

"Oops!"

After receiving Gu Jiang's affirmative reply, Zhou Zheng's pupils shrank slightly.

"Prince, what's wrong!?"

Gu Jiang also looked suspicious. He didn't know why Zhou Zheng would say such words.

"I'm afraid there is support in the city."

"If nothing else goes wrong, the current Yancheng city gates will be wide open to the more than two thousand rebels coming, and there is no threat at all."

Zhou Zheng closed his eyes slightly, and then spoke bitterly.

Buzz!

These words made almost everyone present feel a buzzing in their minds.

They really couldn't understand why Zhou Zheng said such words.

Answer!

"Then what?!"

Although Gu Jiang didn't believe Zhou Zheng's words, he was still patient with Xinzi.

"If nothing else goes wrong, the two thousand troops have now entered Yancheng and are heading towards the mansion."

"Their real purpose is not Yan Cheng, but this palace!"

Zhou Zheng looked serious, but his words made everyone's hearts tremble!

What does this mean! ?

"Report!!!"

"Your Majesty, something big has happened, something bad has happened!"

Before anyone could ask further questions, Lei Tong ran over eagerly.

"Your Majesty, more than two thousand troops have surrounded our mansion like ghosts."

Lei Tong's words made everyone at the scene suddenly panic.

But Gu Jiang and others still didn't believe it!

Because, just now, more than two thousand troops were still outside the city gate!

Why is it like a divine weapon descending from heaven, without any warning, surrounding the entire mansion.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

hoo hoo hoo! ! !

However, outside the mansion, the footsteps of neat troops hitting the ground and the sound of low roars that kept coming, made everyone look ashen.

Because this is clearly what happened when the army besieged the mansion!

Whether they admit it or not, this is true!

And Gu Jiang's eyes were bloodshot and his pupils were grinning!

If he didn't believe what Zhou Zheng said before that there was a connection, then it has been confirmed now!

How could these rebels appear here if they hadn't cooperated inside and outside! ?

But he couldn't figure out who it was! ?

"Everyone, I, Zhou Zheng, am not too kind to you."

"If you do this now, do you know what the consequences will be!?"

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath, glanced at the officials below, and spoke in a deep voice.

And these words made Gong Tan's face turn cold, filled with murderous intent.

Could it be possible, there is a spy here! ?

"Prince, let's capture him without mercy!"

While many officials were looking around at each other, Zhu Jiang took a deep breath, finally stood up and pointed at Zhou Zheng and said in a deep voice!

"Zhu Jiang!?"

"How could it be you!?"

When Gu Jiang saw Zhu Jiang standing up, he shook his head in disbelief.

Even other officials looked surprised and couldn't believe it!

Because Zhu Jiang is Gu Jiang's most trusted right-hand man.

For more than ten years, I have followed Gu Jiang and never left him!

Now, I didn't expect that the traitor would be Zhu Jiang!

"Master Gu, there is no hope or future for following him!"

"Even the imperial court spent three hundred years in Xiang County without changing the situation here. How can a mere prince do it!?"

"You know better than us how powerful the power of eighteen counties and seventy-two cities is!"

"Once the two sides turn against each other, we won't even have a chance to survive."

"Zhou Zheng is the prince. Even if he makes a huge mistake, he will still enjoy the glory and wealth when he returns to the imperial capital."

"But we are rooted in Xiang County. If something goes wrong, not only us, but also the nine tribes behind us will not be able to survive!"

Zhu Jiang looked embarrassed at this time, and even his voice was trembling.

"I, Zhu Jiang, am just doing this for the stability of Xiang County, and also for the future of all of you!"

"As long as we hand over Zhou Zheng, I believe that all problems can be solved!"
