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

The secrets of the five major families were completely revealed at this moment.

Tens of thousands of troops gathered together with great momentum!

In just half a month, the huge Xiang County was almost completely controlled by the five major families.

The government was closed tightly, officials took off their court uniforms one after another, and all traces of the Zhou Dynasty were almost wiped out in the entire Xiang County in an instant.

People stayed at home and did not dare to go out easily. From time to time, they could faintly see the movement outside through the cracks in the windows and tremble.

And all this is not the end, just the beginning!

At the moment, only Yancheng is not controlled by the five major families.

But the more this happened, the more solemn the atmosphere in Yancheng became.

Although everyone is united and almost all the people and officials in Yancheng are mobilized, everyone knows that a single tree cannot stand alone!

Once surrounded, it means that Yancheng will be reduced to ruins!

Everyone looked nervous and continued to strengthen their defenses. Only Zhou Zheng did not show the slightest panic.

It seemed that the upcoming war would not have much impact on him.

"Prince, the city wall has been reinforced, and the grain, grass and water in the city have been inventoried."

"A total of tens of thousands of people and soldiers can be mobilized to defend the city."

"As long as the imperial court can bring reinforcements, we can support it for a month!"

Gu Jiang was sweating profusely. During this period of time, he could hardly sleep at night, forgetting to eat and sleep, grasping every detail with one hand.

Fortunately, Yancheng was one of the largest cities in Xiang County. It had a large population and was relatively prosperous, so it gave Gu Jiang the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Otherwise, if it were any other city, it would be difficult to hold on for three days, let alone one month!

Of course, during this period, there were many strange sounds in Yancheng.

Zhou Zheng has only one attitude towards this, and that is to kill!

In Zhou Zheng's words, in the face of a powerful enemy, anyone who disturbs the morale of the army can be killed on the spot!

As a result, there is only one voice left in Yancheng, and that is the voice of living and dying with Yancheng!

"What's going on with the enemy now!?"

Zhou Zheng did not tell Gu Jiang that there would be no news of reinforcements from the court, otherwise there would be no hope in Yancheng.

"The surrounding cities have been controlled. Yancheng is isolated and has lost the opportunity to communicate with the outside world."

With a bitter smile, although the enemy troops did not attack at this time, Yancheng had already been blocked.

When the other party is completely integrated, it will be the day when the two sides will decide life and death.

"However, I have sent people to break out of the encirclement and asked the court for help overnight."

When he talked about the court's reinforcements, Gu Jiang's voice gained some confidence.

Zhou Zheng listened to Gu Jiang's report on the situation in Xiang County at this time, stood on the city wall and looked into the distance.

At the end of the line of sight, you can vaguely see some dust.

Even the clouds above the end seemed to be a lot thicker.

Zhou Zheng knew that this was not a dazzle, but a movement caused by the rebels forming an encirclement on Yancheng.

Once the siege was completed, the two sides could only go head-to-head.

Da da da! ! !

Suddenly, several rapid sounds of horse hooves came closer and closer.

As the figure gradually enlarged, the atmosphere on the city wall instantly became tense.

Because these cavalrymen were not from Yancheng. They were wearing black armor with different words embroidered on their chests.

Taking a closer look, there are five words: Wu, Chai, Li, Cai and Dong!

Obviously, these five people are members of the five major families!

When the guard on the city wall saw this, he shouted loudly and aimed hundreds of arrows at the five cavalrymen who were galloping towards them.

Just one order is enough to shoot these five people into sieves in an instant!

"I'm waiting to see His Highness the Crown Prince!"

However, these five cavalrymen did not carry weapons with them. They were bare-handed and spoke loudly without fear of the sharp arrows on the city wall.

"Prince!?"

Gu Jiang stood beside Zhou Zheng, with a questioning look in his eyes.

"Let them in."

......

"You bastard, why don't you kneel down when you see the crown prince?!"

In the assembly hall, five cavalrymen stood in front of everyone.

Zhou Ping walked straight forward, slapped one person in the face, and scolded him in a deep voice!

Their master doesn't have eyes, and neither do these little shrimps?

He actually didn't take the initiative to kneel down when he saw His Highness the Crown Prince!

Being slapped in the face by Zhou Ping, they were a little confused. After seeing the murderous and bloodthirsty look of Lei Tong and others around them, the five cavalrymen finally noticed something was wrong.

Then he knelt down towards Zhou Zheng unwillingly.

"Go ahead."

Zhou Zheng sat upright, he had no time to talk nonsense with these little characters.

At this time, a representative from each of the five major families appeared here. Zhou Zheng did not believe that they were surrendering.

"The patriarch has an order that Yancheng must open the city gates in three days and give up resistance!"

"Otherwise, the army will arrive, flatten Yancheng and slaughter all the people!"

The man from the Wu family raised his head and spoke in a deep voice with a ruthless look in his eyes.

And his words made everyone present look gloomy to the extreme.

Everyone knew that facing the combined power of the five major families, they had little chance of winning.

But no one expected that the other party actually had the idea of ​​​​ massacring the city!

"The clan leader has an order. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince takes the heads of Gu Jiang and others, he will be captured without hesitation. His Highness will have no worries."

"Otherwise, if you resist stubbornly, I'm afraid the sword has no eyes and will hurt His Highness."

The member of the Chai family looked up at Zhou Zheng, but when he met Zhou Zheng's eyes, he quickly lowered his head because he sensed an extreme chill in the depths of Zhou Zheng's pupils!

"Are you here to persuade you to surrender?"

"You still want to threaten me!?"

"It's really interesting that all ants have courage."

Zhou Zheng was so angry that he laughed back, his eyes flashing with cold light, and his sneer made everyone in the hall feel indignant!

The five major families are really too arrogant!

Are they really not worried about the court's revenge? ?

"What else, let's talk about it together."

Zhou Zheng lay on the chair and spoke in a cold voice.

"The patriarch said that no one will come from the imperial court, so your highness should give up on this idea."

Hiss, hiss! ! !

Hearing this, Gu Jiang and others looked at each other, then took a breath, and all focused on Zhou Zheng.

They didn't believe this, but they had to verify it!

"It's over!?"

"It's over."

These people were just here to deliver a message, so as soon as they finished speaking, they were ready to leave.

"Walk?!"

"Do you think this is your home!? Come whenever you want and leave whenever you want!?"

Zhou Zheng glanced at several people with his eyes like poisonous snakes, then sneered and spoke.

"Your Highness, the two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoy!"

One of them noticed something was wrong. When he turned around, he suppressed the panic in his heart and spoke tremblingly.

The reason why they are so bold today is because of their status as messengers!

As long as he doesn't die here, he will definitely receive a large reward when he returns!

"It's absurd!"

"Is there no king's land under the whole world, and there is no king's ministers on the coast of leading the land!"

"I am the crown prince of the current dynasty, and you are just ordinary people under the jurisdiction of my great Zhou Dynasty!"

"Where is the talk of two armies?!"

Seeing the four people who were panicking, Zhou Zheng sneered.

"Come here, drag this rebel out and kill him!"

"Send the heads back to the five major families!"

"Tell them that I will be waiting for them in three days!"
