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

Report!

The prince led his troops to attack Dadi Slope, and Chen Sheng and other bandits were slaughtered!

Report!

More than five thousand elite soldiers were destroyed on the slopes of the earth, and no one survived.

Report!

The bandits in Jiming Mountain were killed by the prince in one fell swoop. After being set on fire, the whole army was wiped out and no one was left alive!

A series of news reached the Runan Palace at almost the same time.

An aura containing great coercion enveloped the sky. Everyone in the huge palace remained silent and did not dare to speak.

Similarly, the news also spread quietly in Tianfeng City and even the entire Lujiang County.

When countless people first heard the news, they were still a little unbelievable.

It wasn't until more and more news came, until someone said they saw corpses strewn across the land and rivers of blood flowing across the fields, until someone personally saw the flames of Jiming Mountain rising into the sky and lighting up the sky, that everyone suddenly believed it.

The imperial court had spent more than ten years failing to deal with the rogue banditry problem. I didn't expect Zhou Zheng to deal with it at such a speed.

Although these are not all, they are undoubtedly a good start.

If everyone thought Zhou Zheng was just going through the motions at first, now they have begun to look forward to it.

Especially those people who had been harassed and robbed by bandits were even more excited and happy.

In their opinion, perhaps Zhou Zheng could really pacify the entire Lujiang County bandits.

But some smart people raised their heads uneasily and looked towards the Runan Palace.

They knew that Zhou Zheng's great achievements this time were not good news for King Runan.

Bang!

In the Runan Palace, crisp smashing sounds continued to sound, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped everyone, and no one dared to breathe.

"What a wonderful prince!"

"My king, I really underestimate him!"

An almost furious voice echoed in the assembly hall.

King Runan's expression turned extremely ugly at this time. He thought everything was under his control, but who could have imagined that it would end like this.

He was not surprised that everyone led by Dadipo Chen Sheng was killed.

But the five thousand elites he had raised were also wiped out.

What a loss? !

What made him even more angry was that Jiming Mountain had been wiped out!

There, it is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the people stationed there are all elites, no weaker than those regular troops!

Not to mention Zhou Zheng's small number of troops, even tens of thousands of people would not be able to easily capture Jiming Mountain!

But Zhou Zheng did it.

Surprise, victory, no one left behind!

"Father, how did Zhou Zheng know about the situation in Jiming Mountain?"

"And with lightning speed, Jiming Mountain was burned to the ground."

Zhou Dao also frowned.

From the moment Zhou Zheng entered Tianfeng City, all his whereabouts were under the control of the Runan Palace.

It is impossible for him to know the situation of Jiming Mountain, let alone have such a clear grasp of everything in Jiming Mountain.

"So, we all underestimated this Crown Prince."

In the pupils, cold light flashed, and murderous intent burst out.

Such people made King Runan feel a little uneasy.

"The loss of five thousand elites cannot shake our foundation."

"The death of Dadipo Chen Sheng and others is not a bad thing for us."

"What I'm really worried about is how much Zhou Zheng knows."

This is what Zhou Dao cares about.

They have been cultivating Lujiang County for twenty years and have already fully mastered everything here.

There are no more elites, just train again.

But once something is exposed, things can be really troublesome.

Zhou Dao's words made King Runan take a deep breath and allow himself to regain some sense.

"Over the years, His Majesty has long been worried about us."

"Although there have been speculations in the past, there is no substantial evidence."

"Once Zhou Zheng takes advantage of this opportunity and obtains evidence, it will be detrimental to us."

King Runan shook his head, he knew Emperor Tianjing too well.

As an emperor, he will never allow anyone or any force to threaten him.

Allowing King Runan for twenty years has left Lujiang County vaguely showing signs of escaping from the imperial court's control. Once Emperor Tianjing gets a handle on it, even if King Runan is not killed, the power of King Runan's entire family will be completely cut off!

This is simply more uncomfortable than killing King Runan.

"Then, what should we do?"

Zhou Dao was a little panicked.

"It seems that Zhou Zheng has a back-up plan in our Lujiang County, otherwise there is no way this operation could be hidden from us."

"Presumably he not only knows about the relationship between my Prince Runan's Palace and those bandits, but maybe also knows about the relationship between the old and young people and my Palace."

A flash of cold murderous intent flashed across King Runan's eyes.

And these words made Zhou Dao's heart hit rock bottom.

"but!"

"This matter is difficult to say, and it is not difficult to say it is not."

King Runan's expression became calm again.

"What do you mean, father?"

Zhou Dao obviously didn't understand.

In his opinion, the matter was already quite difficult, and one careless move could very well destroy the entire palace.

"I have sealed off Lujiang County. No one is allowed in or out."

"Prince, it is impossible to pass on the news."

These years of management of Lujiang County have made King Runan quite confident and sure about this.

"As for Zhou Zheng."

"I can give him another chance."

"If it doesn't work, just kill him."

The cold murderous aura of Senhan was undisguised.

Kill the prince? !

These three words that came to his ears made Zhou Dao feel his legs go weak, and he looked at King Runan in fear!

What's the difference between killing the prince and treason in public? !

At that time, their Runan Palace really had no way out!

"Remember, anyone who dares to target my palace will die!"

"Even the current prince is no exception!"

"As for Zhou Zheng's outcome, it depends on what choice he makes."

His eyes flickered, and King Runan's words were filled with a hint of blood.

He once accompanied Emperor Tianjing on his campaigns in the north and south.

He stood before all the armies with his sword drawn.

He single-handedly suppressed countless rebels.

He once escaped from a complete disaster of life and death!

How could he be afraid of a young boy who was still young in his eyes!

"Go and make arrangements."

"My king, I want to have a good meeting with His Highness the Crown Prince."

......

Tian Feng City, inside Zhou Zheng's mansion.

"Boss, you absolutely can't go to this banquet!"

Zhou Ping held the invitation made of pure gold with a serious face and undisguised worry in his heart.

As soon as the front leg returned to Tianfeng City, the back leg received an invitation from King Runan!

"Master, the drunkard king of Runan does not care about wine."

"This banquet may contain hidden murderous intent."

Qin Gouer was equally worried.

They didn't expect King Runan to react so quickly.

"Hongmen Banquet?"

"It's quite interesting."

"However, I would like to see what medicine King Runan is selling in his gourd!"

"I went to this banquet, so what?!"
