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

Fancheng!

It is one of the most important cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

To the south of Fancheng is almost a plain land, while to the north it is dominated by mountains and ridges, and the terrain is extremely important.

Although Fancheng is still hundreds of miles away from the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Fancheng has also become the last barrier of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Countless battles, big and small, have taken place here, and the traces left on the ancient city walls seem to record the dangerous conditions of the past battles.

Since Zhou Tian ascended the throne, in order to prevent Da Zhou from falling into a passive situation again, he forcibly pushed the defense force further north for hundreds of miles, leaving enough deep space for Da Zhou.

This is also the key factor why the capital remains stable despite constant wars between the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Great Yuan Dynasty and the Great Xia Kingdom.

However, even though Fancheng has now lost its original strategic importance, it is still an extremely important city in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Thousands of elite soldiers were stationed here. It was an important place for traders traveling between the north and the south. It was also an important transit point for frontier military information and court orders.

More importantly, Fancheng has gathered many northern nomads and ethnic minorities, which gives Fancheng an exotic feel, as if you are in another country, and attracts many tourists. In just over ten years, Fancheng has become a A bustling city.

"Sir, the city gate is closed. How about we wait until tomorrow to enter the city?"

Outside Fan City, there is a majestic and majestic city. People under the city wall are like ants.

Hao Wang looked solemn and suggested in a deep voice.

If they had not been secretly hiding outside the city before, Fancheng would have closed the city gate ahead of schedule today, and they would never have thought of coming out, let alone rescuing Zhou Zheng.

Not to mention a mere hundred people, in front of this huge city wall, thousands of people would be unable to shake it at all.

"Tomorrow morning?"

"Do you think we can wait until tomorrow morning?"

Zhou Zheng raised his head and glanced at the top of the city wall. At this time, the soldiers on the city wall were holding bows and arrows. With just one command, thousands of arrows were fired.

By then, Zhou Zheng and others would have no chance to escape.

But if he really had to wait outside the city until tomorrow morning, Zhou Zheng would not take the risk.

Although he had dealt with those who were chasing him, the other party would never have this ability, and they would not be able to stop easily.

Only within Fancheng is the safest place.

"But the people in the city didn't open the door at all."

Gong Tan walked up to Zhou Zheng with a serious look on his face. If they really wanted to force their way in, they would have no chance of winning.

"Don't open the door?"

"I would like to see how many heads the generals guarding the city have!"

His eyes narrowed into cracks, and a chill shot out.

This time he was ambushed dozens of miles away from Fancheng and almost died there. Coupled with the information from the dead Wang Wei, Zhou Zheng could conclude that this incident was closely related to Fan Cheng.

"Shoot this token onto the wall."

"Also, let everyone call the city gate!"

"I will give them a quarter of an hour. If the city gate is not opened in a quarter of an hour, the guards of Fancheng will kill the nine tribes today!"

Taking out a token and handing it to Hao Wang, Zhou Zheng returned to the carriage.

"People on the wall, listen, the person sitting in the carriage is the current prince!"

"If you don't open the city gate quickly, you will definitely be dead!"

As he spoke, Hao Wang bent his bow and arrow, and shot the token given by Zhou Zheng directly into the wooden pillar on the city wall.

When the soldiers on the city wall heard the word "prince" and looked at each other, they all saw a trace of panic and fear in each other's eyes!

In the Zhou Dynasty, who dares to pretend to be the prince?

Moreover, they had received the news half a month ago that the prince would go to Dayuan, and Fancheng was the place he must pass through.

Looking at the token again, at this time, the soldiers on the city wall quickly calmed down the arrogance on their faces before, not daring to show any signs of neglect, and quickly reported the information here.

After all, angering the prince is something more than just one of their city defenders can handle!

......

"Master Chen, His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived outside Fancheng."

In the prefect's mansion, a strong man in armor walked up to Chen Mian in a panic, holding a token in his hand and spoke hurriedly.

When Chen Mian heard the news, his pupils suddenly dilated, he grabbed the token, and then the sweat on his forehead began to seep out.

As a prefect, how could he not recognize that this was a token unique to the royal family.

Although this token cannot mobilize troops, it is a symbol of status.

The token appears here at this time, which is enough to prove that the person standing outside the city wall is the current prince Zhou Zheng!

"It seems that the operation failed. How about we take action directly?"

"There are only dozens of people outside the city. As long as we fire arrows at random, no one can escape!"

The strong man saw Chen Mian's panic, but a ruthless killing intent emerged from the corner of his eyes.

He didn't look down upon dozens of people.

As long as nothing happens if the soldiers on the city wall bite them to death, even the imperial court will be powerless.

"Confused!"

"Are you really sure the prince is down there?"

"Even those people failed, do you think the prince won't doubt us?"

"I have long heard that the prince is not what he used to be. Now it seems that his methods are higher than we imagined!"

Chen Mian slammed his palms on the chopping board, looking at the strong man in front of him with some hatred.

The prince obviously walked alone, but now he not only came here safely, but also had dozens of people around him.

This speaks volumes.

Not to mention that they couldn't do it easily. Even if they were really desperate, could they really kill the prince?

To put it ten thousand steps back, even if they kill the prince, the court will not let them go.

Regardless of whether there is evidence or not, he and all the generals in Fancheng will not survive!

All will be buried with him!

Hearing Chen Mian's words, the strong man's heart sank, and then he lowered his head and said nothing.

"Then what do we do next?"

"Open the city gate and welcome the prince!"

Taking a deep breath, Chen Mian knew that he had no choice at this time.

Even the news that the prince was intercepted and killed on the way has been passed towards the imperial capital. If they keep the door closed, they will be guilty of implicating the nine clans!

"But if the prince doubts us..."

The strong man was still unwilling.

"So what if you doubt it?"

"As long as we don't admit it, even the prince won't dare to convict us easily without evidence."

"Besides, this is Fancheng. If the prince is really smart, he should know that a strong dragon cannot overwhelm a local snake."

"Let's go, don't keep His Royal Highness waiting too long."

Immediately, Chen Mian rushed towards the city gate.

......

"Open the city gate!"

Following the pawn's fierce shouts, the heavy city gate finally opened slowly.

After the city gate was opened, hundreds of figures stood up and walked straight towards the carriage where Zhou Zheng was.

"Your Highness, the city gate is open!"

Seeing this, Hao Wang was overjoyed and stood beside the carriage and whispered to Zhou Zheng.

But Zhou Zheng showed no sign of dismounting.
