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

Night covers the earth.

Kyoto is much more lively at night than other places.

However, the courtyard at this time seemed particularly quiet, which was in sharp contrast to the bustle of the outside world.

"It's been all day..."

Xiao Mu stepped into the courtyard again, looked at Zhou Zheng standing alone, and sighed slowly.

Then he walked up to Zhou Zheng and saw his pale face and trembling body, which made Xiao Mu feel a little distressed.

He has never seen Zhou Zheng look like this in the past two years.

At this time, Zhou Zheng no longer had the vigor and fearlessness he had before.

On the contrary, he looked decadent and completely lost his mind.

"Grandpa..."

His voice was hoarse, his clenched fists were unclenched, and Zhou Zheng's eyes were bloodshot.

"Why, why is she..."

There was still a touch of disbelief in the trembling voice.

"Zheng'er, there are some things you must face."

Xiao Mu frowned slightly, a daughter is in love but a hero is short of breath!

How is this the Zhou Zheng he knew before?

Where did Zhou Zheng go with his domineering, fearless and indomitable spirit?

"If you are like this because of a woman, then it can only be said that grandpa is wrong about you, and the people around you are also wrong about you!"

With a flick of his cuffs, Xiao Mu hated the iron!

All fools know that the Imperial City Department is the organization and institution that His Majesty trusts most, and is the Emperor's absolute loyalist!

But Zhou Zheng didn't notice it.

Still thought Gong Tan truly fell in love with him willingly?

Even the news that Zhou Ping paid a huge price for, in the face of the ironclad evidence that it was the truth, Zhou Zheng actually felt distressed because of Gong Tan's betrayal! ?

This is simply a bastard!

If it were Xiao Mu's temperament when he was young, he would have wanted to slap Zhou Zheng in the face.

Wenwen Township is also a hero’s tomb!

"Do you know that to counter the rebellion in Xiangjun, you have 10,000 Zhenbei elites to help you, but only 5,000 are left?"

"Do you know that because of her relationship, all the people around you have been exposed to His Majesty's eyes for a long time. As long as His Majesty is willing, an imperial edict is enough to kill them all!?"

"Did you know that during a scene in the Northern Territory, everyone thought there was a conflict between you and Zhou Ping? The first thing Gong Tan did was to kill Zhou Ping!?"

"For such a woman, you don't even think about food and drink, and you can't sleep at night!?"

"For such a woman, you are so devastated and so decadent!?"

"Are you worthy of those who died?!"

"Are you worthy of the people who will follow you through life and death and will never leave you?"

"Are you really willing to let those brothers who follow you become pawns in her hands?"

Xiao Mu asked aggressively, causing Zhou Zheng, whose eyes were unfocused, to suddenly raise his head!

Do not!

With a low roar, his fist clenched again!

Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Zheng's forehead, and a trace of fear appeared deep in his pupils!

He admits it!

I am indeed attracted to Gong Tan.

He admits it!

Gong Tan occupies a huge weight in his heart.

He admits it!

He never wanted the news to be true.

However, this is not a reason or excuse for him to be soft-hearted!

"It's not worth it to be for a woman who has never truly loved you, for a woman who has always been dormant in the dark and may give you a fatal blow at any time!"

Seeing Zhou Zheng's reawakened eyes, Xiao Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you grandpa for your teaching!"

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Zheng straightened his back again, with a hint of sharpness in his brows.

"What are your plans next!?"

Xiao Mu was still a little worried.

Since ancient times, heroes have struggled with beauty, let alone a peerless beauty like Gong Tan who has gone through countless life-and-death battles with Zhou Zheng!

"In this life, I only rely on four words to do things."

"With a clear conscience!"

His pupils flickered, and Zhou Zheng responded in a deep voice.

"Everyone respects me a foot, and I respect others a foot!"

"If someone offends me, I will offend him!"

The growling voice was filled with a biting chill.

"The moment she chose to betray me, she was no longer the woman I loved!"

"But my enemy!"

His eyes were dark and murderous.

"I have only one choice to deal with the enemy!"

"kill!"

At this moment, Zhou Zheng didn't hesitate at all, without any hesitation.

Just one word showed his determination and attitude!

And at this moment, Xiao Mu was also stunned on the spot!

kill! ?

"She is the former deputy commander of the Imperial City Department, and she is His Majesty's person!"

"killed!?"

"How do you face His Majesty!?"

Xiao Mu originally just asked Zhou Zheng not to indulge in the love between his children and to not get back up after a setback, but he never expected that Zhou Zheng would be so decisive!

"If you don't kill her, it will chill everyone's hearts and make you feel sorry for your dead brother!"

"I killed her to tell everyone my attitude: Anyone who betrays me will die!"

Zhou Zheng's face showed a cold light. He would never hesitate for a woman who didn't love him!

When Gong Tan chooses to betray Zhou Zheng, he should be prepared to bear Zhou Zheng's wrath!

"As for Emperor Tianjing!?"

"He and I will have a battle sooner or later..."

Zhou Zheng lowered his head slightly and murmured in his voice.

His voice was very small, but the determination in it was undisguised.

World War I?

When these two words came to his ears, Xiao Mu's face trembled a little.

His complicated expression fell on Zhou Zheng, and he was speechless for a long time.

Emperor Tianjing was far more difficult to deal with than they imagined.

"There is only one way to defeat him!"

Zhou Zheng raised his head again.

"what way!?"

Xiao Mu had thought about countless possibilities, but he couldn't think of a way for Zhou Zheng to defeat Emperor Tianjing.

In terms of status, he is the lord of a country and the king of all peoples.

In terms of military strength, Emperor Tianjing could mobilize the entire Zhou army.

In terms of popularity, submission of all officials, talent and taxation, and justifiable reputation, nothing can compare to Zhou Zheng!

"Harder than Yongdou!"

His pupils stretched, and Zhou Zheng spoke coldly.

This world is a world full of killing, injustice, and danger.

If you want to gain a foothold, no matter who you are, you must be ruthless!

Only by being ruthless will you have a chance!

Emperor Tianjing was so ruthless back then that he almost killed Zhou Fen and his hundreds of thousands of people!

The third prince Zhou Qiao was not ruthless enough, and ended up living in exile and was beheaded in public.

The eldest prince and the second prince were just not ruthless enough, so they were timid and gave Zhou Zheng a chance to survive.

"Emperor Tianjing is ruthless, I will be even ruthless than him!"

"If I don't even kill Gong Tan, how can I eliminate all obstacles in the world!?"

"The road I am going to take next is destined to be full of dangers and killings!"

"Only by moving forward unwaveringly and killing gods and Buddhas, can I overcome everything and have a glimmer of hope!"

"So, Gong Tan must die!"

"She must die!"

The low roar made Zhou Zheng's domineering aura permeate the air!

Looking at Zhou Zheng standing in front of him with his back straight, even Xiao Mu felt a faint sense of oppression!
